"I don't know if you know anything about the Soul Fighting Competition."
"The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition is the ultimate battle between academies from various countries. Based on the principles of fairness and impartiality, the competition is based on the comprehensive strength of each academy.
"According to the information I heard, there are a total of 133 teams participating in this Soul Fighting Competition. The number is slightly more than five years ago, and more and more teams are participating."
"The competition rules are actually not much different from our college's freshman competition. After all, the college actually took this into consideration when it arranged the assessment method. It was also designed after the Soul Fighting Competition. Its purpose was to familiarize everyone with it in advance. What the rules mean.”
"The first round of preliminary rounds is directly a knockout round in the form of a team competition. The loser will be directly eliminated without any room for debate."
Having said this, everyone's expressions became solemn.
I didn't expect that the first round of preliminary rounds would encounter such a difficult situation.
Of course, Wang Yan noticed the expressions of these children, and hurriedly added in a relaxed tone: "You don't have to worry, don't be so solemn, I believe that as long as you don't encounter a particularly strong opponent, you should be fine, and you can definitely get it easily. Preliminary victory.”
Seeing that Wang Yan actually had such confidence in them, Wang Dong couldn't help but break up the situation and said: "Teacher Wang, I wonder if you have heard of this sentence."
"Huh? What?"
"The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment."
Quiet, absolutely quiet. After Wang Dong said these words, everyone felt as if there was a layer of frost around them.
It just feels like it's a little embarrassing.
Although they all think so in their hearts, no one dares to say it out loud!
You are still brave, Wang Xiaodong! You are our role model!
Looking at the looming Coiled Dragon Stick in Wang Yan's hand, Ling Ge grabbed Wang Dong, squeezed her little hand hard, and said to Wang Yan with a smile: "Teacher Wang, what Xiaodong said makes sense. Don't be afraid of something." Just be afraid of the worst, even though it’s just the preliminary round, I feel its importance cannot be underestimated.”
Ling Ge naturally wanted to protect those within him.
(Insiders, referred to as insiders.)
After Ling Ge finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but nodded.
What Ling Ge said does make sense. To a certain extent, it would be no exaggeration to say that the preliminary round, which involves elimination from the beginning, is the most important to them.
If they were unlucky enough to encounter the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy directly, Shrek and the others would just take a day trip, which would save them the trouble.
Wang Yan nodded in the same way after hearing this, and then continued to introduce.
After the first round of knockout rounds, there will be a group random round-robin competition.
There are three types of random matches, one is the individual elimination match, the other is the three-two-two cooperative battle, and the last one is the seven-person team match.
As of now, it will take at least half a month for the three inner court disciples who can still compete to recover. If the unknown reinforcements are not included, it means that they will need at least half a month to complete the task.
In this half month, they are needed to guard the glory of Shrek Academy.
Thinking about it this way, they really need to persist for a long time.
The first knockout round is really just the first problem they need to face.
From a half-month perspective, tomorrow's preliminary round is really nothing.
When they thought of this, everyone's mood became a little heavier.
This situation simply means that only success is allowed and failure is not allowed!
Isn't this a bit too much for a team like them, whose draw strength is only Soul Master?
And just when everyone was feeling extremely depressed, the sound of tapping on the table sounded.
Everyone's eyes gathered together and they realized that the voice actually came from Ling Ge.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Ling Ge didn't show any stage fright. After clearing his throat after coughing twice, he spoke.
There was no trace of worry on Ling Ge's face. On the contrary, his face was filled with fighting spirit. The whole person looked confident, without showing the slightest hint of worry.
"Although the first round is a knockout, we are a little nervous, but maybe things are not as bad as we thought."
"It's right to be nervous, but there's no need to worry too much."
"We should all think about who we are and where we come from."
"We are all the most elite students selected from Shrek Academy. Although we are just a reserve team now, since we can represent Shrek Academy here, it has proven that we are indeed Than the academy admits that it has enough strength."
"This strength is far beyond the comparison of students from other colleges."
"When the game starts tomorrow, we may find that our opponents are most likely to be much weaker than we thought. Don't forget one thing, our opponents are not the same monsters as us in Shrek. They are powerful enemies of monsters, but most of them are just students from ordinary colleges.”
"There is no way they are as evil as our seniors, and their talents are definitely not as good as ours. Although our age must be a disadvantage, our talents have been verified by Shrek's authority."
"Whether we can beat them or not, you will never know until you have beaten them. Maybe when we meet students from other colleges tomorrow, we will see with our own eyes that we are really no worse than anyone else."
Everyone was slightly startled by Ling Ge's remarks, and then became enlightened.
Whether the previous worries were a bit unnecessary, Ling Ge was absolutely right. They were disciples of the No. 1 Academy in Mainland China, and they were among the best there. They should not use students of the same age in this academy, or even those who are beyond their age. Students of different ages will measure the status of their opponents in this competition.
Although I feel a little sorry for the students of other colleges, I have to say that the students of their Shrek College are really selected students. Everyone's talents are like rare animals in other colleges. .
With this said, everyone's confidence is indeed a lot stronger.
It may not be that they really have no chance of success.
They should have more confidence in themselves.
While Ling Ge was talking, Wang Yan kept looking at Ling Ge.
Ling Ge's words really shocked him.
It's not that Ling Ge's words are incredible, but because of Ling Ge's intention.
Wang Yan, who has been in the society for so many years, certainly would not think that Ling Ge is really so confident, so confident in them, and so looking down on other participating teams.
He knew that Ling Ge actually had a purpose in saying these words.
Seeing that the official team members on the side did not refute Ling Ge's words, Wang Yan knew that they, Ling Ge and him all had the same idea.
Confidence is the most important, even more important than real strength.
Ling Ge's mobilization undoubtedly gave everyone a shot in the arm.
Failure is not terrible. What is terrible is that they lost the confidence to win after hard work at such a young age.
Wang Yan actually didn't have the confidence to lead everyone to the final victory. To be honest, he would find it incredible if they really won.
However, it doesn't matter what the outcome is. They have no ability to change the outcome. All they can change is the process of pursuing victory.
These children are so young and have unlimited possibilities for the future.
They can work hard for the championship, but they don’t necessarily have to win it.
"Ling Ge is right. You are really much better than your peers. Even people older than you may not be much better than you."
Wang Yan spoke and took over Ling Ge's speech.
"Except for Yu Hao, none of you here have the best soul ring ratio, and almost everyone has a thousand-year soul ring. For this alone, you have already surpassed 60 to 70% of the team.
"I don't know if you have heard of the term survivor bias. Perhaps in your eyes, the third and fourth soul rings should be born with purple thousand-year soul rings. But, do people across the continent really think so? ?”
"Even if you really think so, can they really do it?"
"The optimal soul ring configuration is really not the basic standard configuration for all soul masters."
"Because you have always lived in a high-standard environment, you may really all think that others should be similar to you. But, is this really the case?"
"Do you think that thousand-year soul beasts are so easy to hunt? Do you really think that everyone has the ability to kill soul beasts beyond the level just like you? Do you really think that every academy has soul emperor level teachers? Are you here to be responsible for teaching students?"
The ordinary daily life in Shrek College is something that many students from other colleges dream of.
"I can tell you clearly that in many high-level soul master academies, there are very few teachers who are above the soul king level. And your opponents, although they are all around eighteen years old, are indeed much, much older than you. But generally speaking, it is not easy for their cultivation to ensure that the whole team's cultivation is above the third level. Opponents of the fourth level are very rare. Only the captain or vice-captain of a team can have the cultivation level of the Soul Sect. It’s already pretty good.”
"Let me tell you this, I dare say that unless you are unlucky enough to encounter the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy in the first round of eliminations, otherwise, the chance of you meeting an opponent at the level of a five-ring soul king is really very small. ”
"Think about it again, what kind of cultivation are you all? Four four-ring soul sects, so many twin martial souls, and even two ultimate martial souls that are rare to see in a hundred years. Such a lineup, such an age , I’d probably faint if I were your opponent. It’s your opponent who needs to be nervous!”
I have to say that although Wang Yan's words are indeed a bit too false, there is nothing I can do about it, the effect is really good!
After everyone heard this, not only did their faces not get worse, but they actually looked better and better.
This is what it looks like to be full of hope for the future, and this is what a teenager should look like.
Wang Yan thought for a moment, and then saw his shoulders shrugged, his back leaning back, and his whole body wanted to lie down on the chair behind him.
"It's been a long day's journey today, and you've all worked hard. You all should go and rest first. Recharge your batteries tonight and give them a good beating tomorrow. I can't even imagine what they'll see tomorrow. How ugly your faces are, let them take a good look at it when the time comes, even if our Shrek Academy uses students under the age of fifteen to beat them, there is no chance of winning."
"Let them know how big the gap between us is then."
"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I must tell you before I leave. On the first day of the knockout round, we, Shrek, are bound to appear, and as the last champion, we must be the first to appear."
For the first one to appear tomorrow, everyone present did not have much reaction. They would die sooner or later. They would rather be the first one to appear tomorrow, be the first to end the game and then have peace of mind.
Moreover, at this time, something even more surprising was in front of them.
He Caitou asked in great surprise: "Teacher Wang, do you mean you won't make any tactical arrangements today?"
Wang Yan glanced at him angrily and said, "What are you deploying? Based on the average level of those teams tomorrow, what combat plans can be deployed? What deployments are needed to face such an opponent? Then we can just improvise on the spot. Well, as long as we can show the style of Shrek Academy."
"You all should go quickly. Take a rest when you are tired. If you still have extra energy, feel free to wander around. Just pay attention to safety."
"Ling Ge, please stay here for a moment. The teacher has something to tell you."
Everyone, look at me and I look at you. Although everyone has their own thoughts in their hearts, they can only listen to Wang Yan's words at this time.
Ling Ge, on the other hand, remained silent at this time.
The remaining six people didn't stay any longer. Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao gave Ling Ge a "We'll wait for you in the dormitory" look, and followed the others slowly out of the conference room.
The remaining three people in the inner courtyard, after taking a deep look at Wang Yan and Ling Ge, also left the room without saying anything.
The situation has gotten as bad as it is now. Facing the unknown of tomorrow, adjusting your mentality is indeed more important than any tactics.
After everyone except Ling Ge left, Ling Ge walked to the door thoughtfully and wanted to close the door of the conference room.
However, as soon as he arrived at the door of the conference room, Ling Ge saw someone standing next to the conference room.
"Aren't you waiting in the room for me to go back? Why are you standing here?"
Looking at Wang Dong who was waiting with his hands behind his back, Ling Ge asked curiously.
When Wang Dong saw Ling Ge suddenly appear at the door again, he danced around in a panic and started running around with his fingers.
