Chapter 79: This is a Resurgence of World-Shaking Wisdom
Don't blame the road if you can't walk it; if Ma Xiaotao dares to lose control of her evil fire, Huo Yuhao will directly nail Shrek to the pillar of shame in history.
You said that annihilating evil Soul Masters causes casualties, so explain: how is it that your team has a student who might fall into becoming an evil Soul Master?
The Douluo Three Kingdoms and even Shrek have a very unified definition of evil Soul Masters: any Soul Master with a fallen attribute or an "evil Martial Soul" can be directly classified as an evil Soul Master.
As for those who say judgment should be based on behavioral logic and whether a Soul Master has caused slaughter for power, they can only deceive themselves. Don't deceive others, right, Bei Bei?
(Bei Bei: Xiaoya, if this world cannot tolerate you, I will fall into depravity with you! This sentence is no less than "Resurrect, my love!")
You say you won't fall—what do you have to prove it?
An individual's will is simply vulnerable in the face of the temptation of power and the passage of time!
All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament Arena.
After several days of competition, the second round of elimination matches finally concluded.
Four academies made it to the end: Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, Shrek Academy, Star Luo Royal Academy, and Dou Spirit Academy.
But even the weakest team from the Star Luo Empire, at this time, had six Soul Kings on the field, not to mention that this was their home ground.
Shrek, with Ma Xiaotao, Su Tong, and Ling Luochen all stepping down, finally advanced to the top four, but not only were Ling Luochen and the others very tired, but Ma Xiaotao's evil fire also showed signs of losing control.
In the last eight-to-four match, Ma Xiaotao accidentally killed a participating student from another academy. It was only due to Xuan Zi's strong stance that the other party didn't dare to cause trouble, and the matter was settled.
The Holy Spirit Cult's Grand Elder personally vouched that casualties in competitions are common, and no one could be blamed for insufficient strength.
When Huo Yuhao from the Sun Moon side heard this, he almost fainted with joy. 'Good, good—this means I, Old Huo, can finally rest assured.'
Coupled with Xu Jiawei's personal intervention, attributing the incident to an unintentional act and handling it lightly, it made Huo Yuhao's subsequent actions even more reasonable.
No responsibility for casualties, just blame it on insufficient strength—this is simply too wonderful.
Next, he would let Shrek see what it truly means to not blame the road if you can't walk it, and watch how they die.
As for Ma Xiaotao, if it weren't for Elder Zhuang from Shrek using his soul power to treat and stabilize her, she would have lost control and started a massacre long ago. It can be said that she is currently hanging by a thread, capable of falling into madness at any moment.
In this situation, the best option would be to unilaterally withdraw from the competition, abandon the All-Continent Martial Soul Fighting Tournament, and preserve their strength to avoid any accidents.
However, Xuan Zi and that damned ten-thousand-year glory still made Shrek decide to confront the Sun Moon team directly.
Giving up without even fighting is not their style. With old and new grudges, they also wanted to settle things with the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy and see whose wrist is thicker.
But to a certain extent, it ends here because the semi-final match schedule has already been released: the first match is Shrek versus Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy.
Xu Jiawei secretly intervened and manipulated the competition. Everyone could see Shrek's shortcomings and lack of stamina. In this situation, letting Shrek and Sun Moon team face each other first was undoubtedly most beneficial to the Star Luo team.
Whether Shrek fails and is eliminated or the Sun Moon team is worn down by Shrek, it will be the beginning of a conflict between the two sides. He was happy to see it happen.
In the Sun Moon team's waiting area, Elder Ma was making final tactical arrangements with Huo Yuhao and the others. Because their opponent for this match was Shrek, the Sun Moon side was putting in their utmost effort.
Shrek's strength is insufficient, and the opportunity to wipe away past shame is at hand. If they can eliminate Shrek in the semi-finals, then even if they don't win the championship, they will still be heroes when they return to Sun Moon Empire—though this possibility is very slim.
"This time, Ma Rulong, Lin Xi, Chen Fei, and Xiao Xiafeng—four main team members—will be on the field. Yuhao will provide full-view dynamic support on the battlefield, and Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen will be responsible for..."
Elder Ma poured his entire focus into arranging the tactics. In this match, he would not allow any mistakes.
Shrek will surely be brought down to dust by Sun Moon!
As for Shrek?
What tactics could they have used? Wang Yan? According to Xuan Zi, it was simply "just do it." All the flashy tricks are illusions in the face of absolute strength.
Shrek Academy will always be your strongest backing.
Uh... It's purely spiritual support, the kind that is 360 degrees without dead ends.
Shrek team members for the match: Ma Xiaotao, Su Tong, Ling Luochen, Bei Bei, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, and He Caitou.
Actually, if Shrek understood tactics, they would know that when facing the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, someone like He Caitou, who has no special features and whose Soul Guidance Devices are only considered decent on Shrek's side, can't play much of a role on the field.
On the contrary, if He Caitou were replaced by Jiang Nannan, although it wouldn't pose a huge threat to Sun Moon Team, her tricky Invincible Golden Body and Teleportation skills might actually cause considerable trouble for Sun Moon Team.
Speaking of which, it must be said that the one-hundred-thousand-year-old rabbit is truly useless. If such a skill were on Huo Yuhao, you'd see him perform wonders with it.
Of course, if you say that Jiang Nannan's and that old rabbit's Invisible Golden Body and Etherealization are not the same thing, and their settings are different, then he has nothing to say.
Wang Dong did not participate, nor did Ning Tian. The reason? It was because Xuan Zi considered their soul power levels too low and didn't trust them.
As for Ning Tian's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda support and Wang Dong's second Martial Soul's powerful strength, honestly, in Xuan Zi's eyes, they only have unlimited potential but are not very useful at the moment.
In team battles, especially in advanced Soul Master team battles, support system Soul Masters are always the first targets.
Furthermore, with the principle of exchange—amplification and cost, in a battle full of Soul Kings, Xuan Zi believed it wasn't worth wasting an extra combatant to protect Ning Tian; it would be counterproductive.
Uh... this is simply a resurgence of world-shaking wisdom!
As for Jiang Nannan, besides Elder Xuan's arrangements, the most important reason was that she was injured in the last match. Even with the support of the Soul Guidance Device milk bottle and Elder Zhuang's treatment, she still hasn't fully recovered.
As for the decision to forgo a support system Soul Master, no comment will be made here.
But after the match, Ning Tian, Wang Dong, and Jiang Nannan were all incredibly relieved they hadn't been chosen to participate.
As the match approached, the audience and various teams had already begun discussing. The Star Luo team, facing Dou Spirit Academy in their next match, naturally also paid attention to this match's development.
"Shrek's lineup is very strange: one Soul Emperor, two Soul Kings, two Soul Ancestors, and two Soul Elders. How can they arrange tactics with such a configuration?"
"Attack system, control system, food system Soul Master and Soul Engineer, agility-attack system—it's indeed very strange. There's no support or defense system for crowd control Soul Master. What are they planning?"
"That agility-attack system is only a Soul Elder, and there's no support system Soul Master to provide buffs or healing. How will Shrek break through the Sun Moon Team's Soul Guidance Device blockade? Or are they planning to take it head-on?"
"Sun Moon Team doesn't have a support system either. Why don't you mention them?"
"Because everyone knows Sun Moon is proficient in Soul Guidance Device combat. Their support Soul Guidance Devices are enough to compensate for the support system's deficiencies. This is an innate advantage."
"Although I look down on Shrek a bit now, it's still uncertain who will win."
"What a joke! Sun Moon has an overpowered existence like Huo Yuhao. What can Shrek use to win?"
"Bastard, I'll bet you!"
