The round robin is played every other day. After one day, nearly half of the participating teams that entered the round robin have completed the first round of the round robin.
The Shrek Academy representative team is one of them.
Compared with the knockout rounds, the round robin is relatively peaceful.
Each team has adjusted their tactics one after another, and the technical content of each game is more than the original one, but it does not have the brutality of a last-ditch battle in the knockout round.
However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that when the next few round-robin rounds begin, the intensity of the competition will suddenly increase because many teams cannot afford to lose.
At night, after everyone in the reserve team had dinner, they were summoned by Wang Yan who returned to the Star Emperor Hotel.
In the conference room of Nuo University, Wang Yan, who was sitting in the main seat, couldn't help but change his face after listening to Beibei telling everyone about the encounter with the Noumenon Sect today.
"I didn't expect that the Noumenon Sect would send people to watch this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition. Now it's a bit troublesome."
As he spoke, Wang Yan subconsciously looked at Xu Zihuang, who was sitting on his left with a calm face, and smiled bitterly.
"Although the royal family of the Star Luo Empire has come forward, with the overbearing and arrogant style of dealing with the Noumenon Sect, I'm afraid they won't just let it go."
"Tianhuang, if those two people from the Noumenon Sect come to you again, don't resist, just follow them. They just value their talents and won't do anything to you."
Of course he hopes that Yu Tianhuang can stay at Shrek Academy out of selfish motives. But as a teacher, his first priority is the safety of his students.
"Teacher Wang, I have no plans to join the sect yet. I don't really like the kind of life where I am restricted from everywhere." Xu Zihuang shook his head.
"Instead of joining a sect, I still feel that the environment of our Shrek Academy is more suitable for me."
Seeing that Yu Tianhuang had an obvious liking for Shrek Academy, Wang Yan nodded slightly with pleasure.
"Tianhuang, I'm very happy that you can have such an idea. But I have to admit that the Noumenon Sect is indeed the place that knows the Noumenon Martial Spirit best. If you can get the teachings of the Noumenon Sect, the potential of your Golden Eyes Martial Spirit
It can definitely be developed to the greatest extent. This is related to your future, and we are not qualified to make decisions for you. Moreover, our Shrek Academy is just an academy, and there will be no restrictions. But if you are determined to stay,
, the college will do its best to protect you. You should think about it carefully first. No matter what choice you make, we will respect your decision."
Xu Zihuang smiled freely.
"Teacher Wang, there's no need to think about it. I still want to stay in our college."
"Okay!" Wang Yan pondered for a long time, then showed a heartfelt smile, and then said seriously.
"In this case, I will send a message to Mr. Xuan through our Shrek Academy's special contact point in Star Luo City later. As long as Mr. Xuan comes here personally to take charge, I understand that the Noumenon Sect will not dare to do anything out of the ordinary.
move."
Listening to Wang Yan's fear of the Ontology Sect, Wang Dong asked doubtfully: "Teacher Wang, is the Ontology Sect so scary?"
Among the seven people in the reserve team, only Wang Dong and Jiang Nannan didn't know much about the Noumenon Sect.
However, the difference is that Jiang Nannan was born as a commoner and had no information channels to understand the Noumenon Sect. Wang Dong, on the other hand, has never cared about such things since he was a child.
Wang Yan clasped the five fingers of his hands together and held his chin, and nodded seriously.
"You are all core disciples of the outer court now and members of the reserve team. It won't be a big problem to enter the inner court in the future. It doesn't hurt to tell you. On the Poseidon Island of our Shrek Academy, there is a place called Poseidon Pavilion. People living there
Elder Xuan is one of the elders of our Shrek Academy. The Poseidon Pavilion is also the highest authority in our Shrek Academy. All major decisions are made in the Poseidon Pavilion. For example, the martial arts department and
The four principals and deputy principals of the Soul Guidance Department can only serve as the last ones in the Poseidon Pavilion."
"In our world of soul masters in Douluo Continent, there is a saying that the top forces in Douluo Continent are three pillars. One of them is naturally the Poseidon Pavilion of our Shrek Academy. As for the other two, one
It is the Mingde Hall of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. The Mingde Hall is just like the inner courtyard of our Shrek Academy. Only the best students in the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy can enter the Mingde Hall to practice and study. At the same time, there
It is also the highest authority in the production of soul guidance devices in the Sun and Moon Empire. It is no exaggeration to say that the one at the forefront of the development of soul guidance technology in Douluo Continent is Mingdetang. And the last one, I think you should know it without mentioning it.
.That’s right, it’s the Noumenon Sect.”
"Let me put it this way, you may not have an intuitive feeling about the power of the Noumenon Sect. So let me tell you something that really happened. About two thousand years ago, more than 40 people from the Noumenon Sect infiltrated the Star Dou Continent.
In the forest, a total of seven hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts were hunted and killed. Therefore, the promise made by the two people from the Noumenon Sect to Tianhuang was completely true, because they really had the ability to hunt down the hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts.
.”
"I have also heard the elders in the family mention this matter." Ning Tian, who was sitting in the first place under Xu Zihuang, took over the conversation.
"It seems that the Noumenon Sect hunted and killed seven hundred thousand year old soul beasts back then, which triggered the beast tide that lasted for a full year. That beast tide was also the largest scale of soul beasts in the history of soul masters.
The biggest counterattack. Countless villages near Shrek City were slaughtered."
Wang Yan sighed solemnly.
"Ning Tian is right. The Noumenon Sect is both good and evil, which is really a headache. Although the Beast Tide was caused by the Noumenon Sect, considering that the Noumenon Sect later also spontaneously participated in resisting the Beast Tide. At that time, our Shrek Academy did not
Choose to fight to the death. The Poseidon Pavilion was also established at that time. Because when resisting the beast tide, the senior leaders of Shrek Academy discovered that the overall strength of the Noumenon Sect was even higher than that of our academy. And at that time, Sun and Moon
It has only been a thousand years since the continents collided, and the situation on the continent is not stable. A combination of various reasons led to the compromise of the academy."
Jiang Nannan said angrily: "Did all those civilians die in vain?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked at Jiang Nannan in weird ways.
Although Jiang Nannan asked this question because she was kind-hearted, she couldn't find a better solution to the situation at that time. Did she not choose to compromise, but choose to be tough with the Noumenon Sect?
That would only add unnecessary sacrifices.
Countless ancestors of Shrek Academy died fighting to resist the beast tide.
From Jiang Nannan's point of view, such slightly accusatory words are a bit inappropriate. To put it nicely, it means being kind-hearted, but to put it more difficultly, it means standing up and talking without pain. This kind of pointing at the highest point of morality
Dot’s behavior is a bit...
Her reaction was so great, perhaps because she took the initiative to take on the perspective of the civilians who were slaughtered by the spirit beasts.
There is a certain truth in this saying that a person's origin determines his vision.
Everyone present except Jiang Nannan, who was born as a commoner, remained silent. Even Wang Dong was the same. Because they were not like Jiang Nannan, who only saw the most superficial level.
Xu Sanshi reached out and wanted to put his hand on Jiang Nannan's shoulder to express comfort, but Jiang Nannan slapped him away without appreciation.
Sensing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Wang Yan did not choose to answer Jiang Nannan's question, but changed the topic.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Now I have good news to tell everyone. That is that our opponent in the next round of the round robin chose to admit defeat."
As the captain of the reserve team, Beibei immediately followed Wang Yan's topic and livened up the atmosphere.
"This is indeed good news. Teacher Wang, this means that we only need to go through the third round of round robin to welcome the comeback of seniors Chen Zifeng and Gongyang Mo."
"Not bad." Wang Yan responded with a smile.
"Actually, I called everyone together today, and there is another matter that I want to discuss with you."
Wang Yan looked around at everyone for a week.
"Although what you have seen is that in the competition between Tianhuang and Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy and Silvis Academy, these two academies still use the traditional way of fighting soul masters. But what I want to tell you is that here
Among all the participating teams in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, more than 80% of the soul master academies are no longer pure soul master academies. The direction of development is the integration between soul masters and soul mentors."
"Fusion? What fusion method?" Xu Sanshi asked in surprise.
While Wang Yan was explaining, his eyes fell on Xu Zihuang.
"There are many methods of fusion. The simplest one is Tianhuang. You all watched the previous match between Tianhuang and Silvis Academy Gu Fengli. In that match, Tianhuang did not use soul skills from beginning to end. Of course,
It’s because his martial soul is powerful and his actual combat experience is outstanding. But the melee soul guide also played a big role. After the battle between Tianhuang and Gu Fengli, I thought about it carefully.”
"Actually, we at Shrek Academy have been walking into a misunderstanding. The relationship between soul masters and soul mentors is actually not antagonistic. Soul guides can also be used to enhance the combat effectiveness of our traditional soul masters. For example, control systems like Tianhuang
For a fighting soul master, combined with a melee soul guide, he can gain the melee ability to compete head-on with an attack-type soul master. Well, Tianhuang is still a bit special. Let’s take Nan Nan as an example. If Nan Nan can equip
By adding a speed-increasing soul guide, and at the same time equipping her with a defensive soul guide to target her lack of defense, would it allow her to unleash her full strength?"
"There are also auxiliary weapon soul masters like Ning Tian. Equipping her with some defensive soul tools will greatly enhance her ability to protect herself. She can even be equipped with some that only require soul power to be used.
The long-range soul guide makes her no longer a weak link in the team. She does not have particularly strong combat power, but at least she has some ability to protect herself. This is for auxiliary soul masters whose survival rate on the battlefield has always been low.
It’s a very important point.”
Ning Tian nodded slightly in agreement.
"I agree with Teacher Wang's point of view."
Wang Yan then looked sideways at Beibei, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan and Wang Dong who were sitting on the right side of the conference table. He didn't have to worry about Yu Tianhuang, Ning Tian and He Caitou. He mainly wanted to persuade them this time.
There are still four Beibei people.
"What I mean by saying all this is to show that the soul guide has become the soul master's weapon. This is the result of evolution in line with the times. You will be the next generation of Shrek's Seven Devils, and I hope that changes will begin with you. Tomorrow night, the star
There will be an auction of soul tools in Luo City. If you are willing to try using soul tools, you can go with me. If not, I personally will not force it."
But what surprised Wang Yan was that Beibei, Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan did not show any rejection of the soul guide as he imagined.
It was really Xu Zihuang's previous battle with Gu Fengli that left a deep impression on the three of them.
Beibei and Xu Sanshi both readily expressed their willingness to try to cooperate with the soul guide device.
Only Jiang Nannan seemed hesitant, but Wang Yan, who saw what Jiang Nannan was thinking, smiled knowingly.
"You don't have to worry about funding issues. You are all core disciples of the outer academy and members of the reserve team. The academy will be responsible for all the soul guidance devices you need to equip."
Jiang Nannan's eyes suddenly lit up. She looked like a little money addict.
"I'm also willing to try."
When Wang Yan looked at Wang Dong, Wang Dong stood up suddenly.
"Sorry, Teacher Wang, I don't want to use the soul guide."
After saying that, Wang Dong, who was in a bad mood, quickly walked out of the conference room.
Wang Dong's sudden outburst made most of the people present feel baffled, but only Xu Zihuang understood it clearly.
Wang Yan sighed.
"Forget it, everyone has his own ambitions. Tianhuang, Ningtian, Caitou, are you three okay?"
Xu Zihuang responded with a smile.
"Teacher Wang, I personally do not reject soul tools. However, I will not go to the auction tomorrow night. I have recently felt signs of breaking through the bottleneck in my practice. I want to stay in the hotel to practice for these two days."
The gold of living beings was already in his hands, so there was no point in going to that modest soul-guiding device auction.
Ning Tian also smiled elegantly.
"Teacher Wang, if Tianhuang doesn't go, then I won't go either."
Xu Sanshi had a wretched look on his face and immediately started to cheer with a smile.
"Hey, it's up to the husband to sing and the wife to sing."
Xu Zihuang's expression remained unchanged in response to Xu Sanshi's teasing. Although Ning Tian felt a little shy in his heart, he still looked calm and generous on the surface.
"Okay, then you can stay in the hotel and rest." Wang Yan was still very cheerful.
In fact, in the eyes of everyone, the relationship between Yu Tianhuang and Ning Tian is basically made public.
Xu Zihuang said to He Caitou: "Senior brother, you and Teacher Wang and the others can go together tomorrow night. With your understanding of soul guides, you can also provide advice to Teacher Wang and the others."
"Okay." He Caitou smiled honestly.
When Wang Yan saw that everything had been arranged, he announced the dissolution.
Overall, he was very satisfied with the outcome of this meeting.
Yu Tianhuang is willing to stay in Shrek Academy, and the other six people except Wang Dong are also willing to try using soul guidance devices.
