Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 316: What to Choose? (8K, Writer's Block)

Even so, the audience still erupted in cheers. Only Shrek Academy could produce such a unique and refreshing fighting spirit!

Displacement! Teleportation! Invincibility!

Three extremely rare soul skills, rarely seen in ordinary times, appeared in a single match and combined to produce such a clever effect.

The students from Zhengtian Academy couldn't help but swallow hard. Fortunately, they didn't send out a Soul King in the first match. With Shrek Academy's tactics, it was no surprise that the two Soul Masters would lose. Even if they sent out two Soul Kings, it would still be tough!

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy team also frowned. These three soul skills were difficult to defend against, especially the combination of teleportation and invincible golden body, which was too difficult to deal with. Moreover, Xuanming substitution could also be used in combination with invincible golden body. If the person being substituted was not careful, they might be completely controlled.

If Shrek Academy were willing to use Xu Sanshi as a trade, and add Jiang Nannan to their team, they could almost forcibly trade away anyone. Even Ma Rulong, the captain of their Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, would probably not survive if he were directly switched to Shrek's position and locked down for three seconds.

Whatever you do, don't get drawn into a team battle with Shrek!

At this moment, the same thought flashed through the minds of everyone at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

After the referee announced the winner, the audience erupted in almost frenzied cheers and applause.

If I had to describe the outcome of this match in two words, it would be—wonderful.

The unconventional teamwork and rare, unparalleled soul skills gathered together in this extraordinary battle have broadened the horizons of most people. The sensory stimulation brought by this battle is in no way inferior to a thrilling head-on clash.

"What are our plans for the next match?"

For a moment, Zheng Tian Academy was caught in a dilemma. Shrek Academy held two match points and had an immense advantage. If they fielded two Soul Kings in the second match, even if they won one match and dragged the game into a contest, they still wouldn't be able to defeat the Soul Saint who was in charge of the third match.

"I will bring victory back."

Tang Xiaolei stepped forward expressionlessly: "You two, get ready for the third match. Leave the rest to me. To fight that Soul Saint, you need at least two Soul Kings. We can only gamble, gamble that we can win the second match, and gamble that Huo Yuhao isn't a Soul Saint."

Tang Xiaolei's words silenced the Zhengtian Academy members. Yes, they had been pushed to the brink. Shrek Academy hoped to at least eliminate one or two Soul Kings from Zhengtian Academy in the first match, even if it meant giving up the right to win a small match. How could they not think the same way?

Even if it means giving up the first small match, it would be worth it as long as it could lure out Huo Yuhao, a Soul Saint, to make an appearance.

However, both sides had their own calculations, and the final result was that the first match turned into a duel between the two Soul Masters. Shrek Academy won this match, and Zheng Tian Academy would have to win two matches in a row if they wanted to win.

"There is no substantial evidence to suggest that Huo Yuhao is truly a Soul Saint. Compared to the Soul Saint's ability to walk on air, Huo Yuhao's levitation lasted for a relatively short time. This does not disprove the speculation that he is a Soul Saint, but we can only gamble on the possibility that he is merely a Soul King or Soul Emperor who has mastered some kind of secret technique."

Tang Xiaolei's words plunged everyone at Zhengtian Academy into silence once again. Finally, Yu Mengdi patted Tang Xiaolei on the shoulder.

"Please, win the second game, and the captain and I will take down the third one."

Tang Xiaolei simply nodded solemnly.

Ye Wuqing's eyes gleamed with intense fighting spirit: "Very well, since that's the case, let's take a gamble. Whether we can break Shrek Academy's three-thousand-year-old undefeated myth will be decided today."

"Shrek must have run into trouble. We must consider whether this is our only chance in this lifetime. Shrek only has a few people in reserve, so something must have happened. If we don't seize this opportunity, we'll have even less of a chance later."

"Tang Xiaolei, Yan'er, you two will go up next. You're both long-range attackers, don't let me down."

At this time, Shrek Academy is also facing a similar problem.

Who will play in the next match?

"Yuhao, who should go on for the next round?"

Beibei clenched her fists, her eyes filled with intense fighting spirit.

Huo Yuhao was also conflicted.

After a moment's thought, he slowly said, "Zhengtian Academy doesn't have many options left. I'll tell you all so we can discuss them together."

"The first possibility is that they are afraid of being eliminated in the second round, so they bet on a Soul King. This is more advantageous for us, as it allows us to take down one of their Soul Kings."

"The second possibility is that they might go all out, fielding two high-level Soul Masters in the second match and saving the three Soul Kings for the final match, betting that I'm not a true Soul Saint. However, we currently hold a match point, so they shouldn't be that crazy. After all, if we lose the second match, the competition will be over."

"The third possibility is that they bet both Soul Kings on the second match, hoping to win that match, and then use one Soul King to fight us in the third match after achieving a 2-1 score. This scenario is unlikely to happen."

"After all, I removed everyone's spirit rings in the last match. Our strength is still hidden in the fog. They can't accurately assess the specific strength of our personnel. They only know that Brother Xu and Sister Nan Nan are currently Soul Masters."

"So, either Chen Xue-chang and I will go all out in the second match and try to win it outright, or Chen Zi-feng will step up and we'll have a chance to win the second match. Even if we lose, I'll stay behind to deal with the Angel Soul King in the third match."

How should I choose?

This question lingered in everyone's mind.

The probability of all three Soul Kings being placed in the third match is the lowest. After all, Zheng Tian Academy is currently on the edge of a cliff. So, how many Soul Kings will they place in the second match?

Zhengtian Academy is a team that takes a lot of risks, and Shrek Academy isn't having much luck today. What's the best option to win?

In the end, Huo Yuhao made the decision.

"Senior Chen, you and Wang Dong go up. The two of you are strong enough to deal with the combination of two Soul Masters. If the opponent sends out more than one Soul King, the outcome is up to fate. If they send out two Soul Kings, then Bei Bei, Gongyang Mo, and I will hold down the fort in the third match. We will definitely win against one Soul King."

"it is good."

Chen Zifeng and Wang Dong stood up. This was the most conservative and least problematic choice at the moment. With a match point in hand, they still had an advantage. If they wanted to defeat Chen Zifeng, their opponents would have to send at least one Soul King. Even if they lost, it wouldn't be bad news for Shrek Academy.
