Facing Yang Xiong's words, Ning Fengzhi glanced at Tang San and Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang then spoke, "Yang Xiong, I've always known you were hiding your strength. Based on our current strength, it might be difficult for us to defeat the Spirit Hall team, but I have a method that might break the deadlock. At the very least, it won't allow Spirit Hall to continue being so arrogant."
Yang Xiong immediately became interested. "Master, do you have a good method? Could it be that you have other tactics you haven't revealed yet?"
Yu Xiaogang's face darkened. "It's not a matter of tactics. As things stand, the Heaven Dou First Team should have four Soul Ancestors who can participate in the finals. At that time, I will transfer you, Tang San, and Mubai into one team. Then we will have the combat power of roughly seven Soul Ancestors, which will definitely be able to contend with the Spirit Hall team."
Yang Xiong thought carefully. "That is indeed an idea, but none of us are support-type Soul Ancestors, and the highest soul power level right now is Yu Tianheng's level forty-three, which is at least eight or nine levels lower than those from Spirit Hall. The gap is still too large."
"Not to mention, there hasn't been any coordination between the first and second teams. If we really get on the stage, it might be quite chaotic."
Yu Xiaogang nodded. "What you said is very reasonable, and I am aware of this. Therefore, the preliminary rounds of the Soul Master Competition are the last chance for coordination. The team members can still be adjusted before the finals. So, I plan to transfer Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and the Shi Mo brothers into the Heaven Dou Second Team. This way, our strength will be even greater."
"However, this will create a significant flaw in the team, which is that we won't have any agility-attack type Soul Masters. With your speed, you can completely serve as an agility-attack type Soul Master."
Yang Xiong couldn't help but complain when he heard this. What kind of ridiculous idea is this? I've been a defense-type Soul Master for two years, and now suddenly I'm being assigned as an agility-attack type Soul Master? How am I supposed to coordinate with the new tactics? And which bastard suggested combining the two teams? Isn't that going to break up all the original coordination?
However, Yang Xiong still smiled and said, "Master, Sect Leader, please rest assured, I will definitely be a good agility-attack type Soul Master."
Yu Xiaogang became serious instead. "It's not just about being a good agility-attack type Soul Master; you also need to exert your full strength. Otherwise, we simply won't be able to win, especially since no one knows about your soul skills."
Yang Xiong then nodded. "Alright, if it really comes down to a critical moment, I will let people know what my soul skills are. However, my soul skills are all self-buffing, so I'm afraid they won't have much impact on tactics."
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi spoke again. "Little Xiong, I know your strength is formidable. If you win the championship, the soul bones obtained will be divided among us from the Upper Three Sects. The one from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is guaranteed to be yours."
Even though Yang Xiong complained countless times in his heart, he finally nodded and agreed. However, among those three soul bones, besides the skull, he really didn't care for the other two. But given Tang San and Yu Xiaogang's nature, how could they possibly give him the skull?
After Tang San and Yu Xiaogang left, Ning Fengzhi spoke to Yang Xiong alone. "Little Xiong, this matter is of great importance. Even if you reveal the soul bone on your body, I can guarantee your safety through the Sect. In the future, when you go out for training, you will at least have experts at the Soul Douluo level protecting you. Additionally, whatever soul bones or soul beasts you need, we will do our best to help you obtain them."
Yang Xiong was silent for a moment before speaking. "Thank you, Sect Leader, but I also have a question I'd like to ask the Sect Leader. Please consider it carefully."
Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo showed a hint of confusion. "Speak freely. From now on, don't call me Sect Leader, just call me Uncle Ning."
Yang Xiong's expression was serious. "Sect Leader, you are also very aware of the current situation of the Upper Three Sects. The Clear Sky Sect has long been living in seclusion, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family has rarely ventured out in recent years. If we really do this, I'm afraid Spirit Hall will hate us and might even target us specifically. At that time, those two families may not necessarily have the strength to lend a helping hand."
Ning Fengzhi's face also became solemn upon hearing this. He remained silent for a long time before finally speaking softly, "I have also considered this issue. However, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is ultimately based on support-type Soul Masters, and we are at a certain disadvantage compared to the other two families. Moreover, if we don't advance now, we will retreat. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is at its peak, and there is no turning back."
Yang Xiong nodded. "Sect Leader, I understand. I will definitely work hard and not lose to anyone else."
After Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo left, Yang Xiong couldn't help but sigh.
As the Sect Leader, Ning Fengzhi's perspective was much higher than his own. The things he considered were naturally completely different from his. Especially since he had brought the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to its peak strength, besides being a businessman, he was even more of a formidable figure. He was probably also very ambitious.
Looking back at the entire original work, Ning Fengzhi was quite active. On one hand, he contended with Spirit Hall, and on the other hand, he colluded with the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, and even tried his best to protect Tang San and the others. These were all major taboos for Spirit Hall, ultimately leading to Spirit Hall taking ruthless action.
Especially since everyone overlooked one thing, which was that his good disciple was actually a spy for Spirit Hall. In the end, he tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice, and he himself was even feared by the Heaven Dou Empire. Otherwise, no matter what, the position of Imperial Advisor would not have fallen to Yu Xiaogang, a person without power or influence.
...
The Heaven Dou Empire indeed acted quickly. Soon, they gathered all the personnel from the Heaven Dou First Team and Second Team and quickly redivided all the team members.
Currently, the Second Team members include Yang Xiong, Tang San, Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu, Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, Shi Mo, Shi Mo, Ye Lingling, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong.
Poor Oscar was transferred to the Heaven Dou First Team, but with Qin Shuang accompanying him, the two were not completely lonely.
As for including Zhu Zhuqing in the Second Team, it was mainly because Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai could form the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Netherworld White Tiger, which might have some effect at critical moments.
Only then did Yang Xiong understand why Dai Mubai had come to find him alone. This lineup was indeed good, but there was still a certain gap compared to the Star Luo Royal Academy. At the very least, Zhu Zhuqing completely lacked the strength to be a main force.
Yang Xiong couldn't help but glance at Flander. Compared to the others, Flander seemed more dejected. Although the second team was still called the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Shrek Team, it no longer had the original Shrek appearance.
Especially since his direct disciple, Ma Hongjun, had also been transferred to the first team. The first team had very few Soul Ancestors, let alone Advanced Soul Grandmasters. It seemed they were purely going through the motions.
And the original leader of the first team, Qin Ming, had become Yu Xiaogang's deputy. It was as if there was a tacit understanding in the dark, suggesting they had completely given up on the first team.
Normally, such a change in team members would not be allowed, but the Heaven Dou First Team and Heaven Dou Second Team were originally from the same academy. Moreover, Ning Fengzhi and Dugu Bo were both on the referee committee, so even if Salas objected, it wouldn't have much effect.
One should know that in the original work, Divine Wind Academy and Blazing Fire Academy did something even more excessive; they swapped players between two different academies.
When the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Shrek Team appeared again, everyone present was in an uproar. Especially Salas and Huyan Zhen on the guest platform, their faces turned pale. They certainly didn't want the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to be powerful.
After the two teams were reorganized, the first to appear were Yu Tianheng, Dai Mubai, Dugu Yan, Tang San, Yang Xiong, Shi Mo, and Shi Mo.
Their opponent was Purple Star Academy, but unfortunately, Big Brother Yang Wei did not participate.
The Shrek Team had a total of five Soul Ancestors. Yu Tianheng served as the captain, and Tang San and Dai Mubai served as vice-captains.
Even Divine Wind Academy and Heavenly Water Academy were extremely serious. The strength of this team was even stronger than they had imagined, especially their attack power, which would be terrifying. This was because they had two control-type Soul Masters who could control the field.
Although Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wushuang, and Shui Bing'er were extremely serious, they instantly noticed a problem.
Feng Xiaotian said, "That's not right. Although this team looks good, they don't have any agility-attack type Soul Masters. Their flexibility on the stage will be greatly reduced. It's impossible for them not to have thought of this problem."
Huo Wushuang also nodded, "I think Heaven Dou Royal Academy won't be that simple. They might have other remedies."
Although agility-attack type Soul Masters on the stage are not as capable of forcefully breaking through the opponent's formation and attracting their attention as strong-attack types, nor are they the brain of the team like control-type Soul Masters, they are equally important.
Agility-attack type Soul Masters need to find the opponent's weak points and deliver a fatal blow, and even rescue and assist others from time to time. The flexibility of the entire formation is basically maintained by agility-attack type Soul Masters.
The Shrek Team adopted a 2-2-1-2 formation. At the very back were the two control-type Soul Masters, Tang San and Dugu Yan. Next were the two defense-type Soul Masters, the Shi family brothers. And still, Yang Xiong, the agility-attack type Soul Master, was in the middle, with Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng leading the strong attack at the front.
As expected, as the match began, Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng directly charged towards Purple Star Academy's formation. The White Tiger Martial Soul and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon were both top-grade powerful Martial Souls, extremely domineering and fierce, and they quickly disrupted the opponent's formation.
Tang San and Dugu Yan controlled the field. Suddenly, countless Blue Silver Grass appeared on the entire stage, quickly entangling everyone from Purple Star Academy, while Dugu Yan's Jade Scale Serpent emitted various toxins, instantly covering the entire stage.
Although the Shi family brothers were defense-type Soul Masters, they were full of strength. Unfortunately, their speed was slow, but they still followed the main group forward.
Yang Xiong, on the other hand, was surpassed by the Shi family brothers in just a blink of an eye. When everyone on the opposite side hadn't noticed, Yang Xiong's figure flashed and he arrived at the back of Purple Star Academy's formation, directly attacking their control-type Soul Master.
Especially since Yang Xiong was extremely fast and also possessed the ability of Teleportation, his five fingers were like a pair of silver Dragon Claws, directly grabbing towards this control-type Soul Ancestor.
In just a few exchanges, Purple Star Academy was unable to take care of both ends. Their original support and control-type Soul Masters had already been knocked off the stage by Yang Xiong, and their formation was also quickly scattered by the four. In less than two minutes, everyone from Purple Star Academy was knocked off the stage, and the new Heaven Dou Royal Academy Shrek Team achieved their first victory.
Feng Xiaotian and the others looked at the stage with even more seriousness. Huo Wu was a little confused, "Isn't this Yang Xiong a defense-type Soul Master? How did he become an agility-attack type Soul Master now?"
Feng Xiaotian shook his head, "It's not that simple. This guy is not only a defense-type Soul Master, but he can also be used as a strong-attack and agility-attack type Soul Master. His Strength, Speed, and defense are all excellent. I'm afraid even I might not be able to easily defeat him."
Huo Wu was a little indignant, "Heaven Dou Royal Academy is too reckless. They are still changing players at this time. I think their behavior is too shameless."
Huo Wushuang on the side said, "They were originally students of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and they also have a direct qualification spot. Changing players is also reasonable."
In contrast, Huyan Zhen was even more angry. Originally, Elephant Armor Academy's performance was average, always at the bottom of the Five Element Academy, but they could still compete with the Shrek Team for the final qualification spot. Now, how could they compete in this situation? It was possible that this would be the first time Elephant Armor Academy would miss the promotion rounds in many years.
