According to legend, thousands of years ago, when the Dou Ling Empire and the Tian Hun Empire were still one family and were called the Tian Dou Empire, the first academy in the Tian Dou Empire at that time was called the Tian Dou Royal Academy.
The full name of the current Dou Ling Academy is Dou Ling Royal Soul Master Academy, and the Tian Dou Royal Soul Master Academy thousands of years ago is its ancient predecessor.
And when it comes to the historical heritage of Tiandou Royal Academy, it is even longer than the history of Shrek Academy.
As far back as 10,000 years ago, when Shrek College was just a nameless, low-level college called Lanba College, it was already a prestigious high-end college that had been famous for a long time.
Although the Tiandou Royal Soul Master Academy at that time was still dominated by noble soul masters, they still had to admit their excellence.
Wang Yan let out a long sigh again. The relaxation of the previous few days was no longer there, as if he had returned to the original situation.
"Now you all know everything. The thing that confuses me the most is that there is definitely no problem with the brains of the people at Dou Ling Royal Academy. The reason why they can just give up because of the pride of an established academy. There must be some calculation behind it. There must be some choice and some plot."
"And this kind of plot, in the competition at this moment, I can't think of any other reason besides deliberately hiding it in the round-robin competition in order to get a better ranking. In the round-robin competition, it can be hidden, but in the knockout competition at this time It’s impossible to hide anymore, especially when we face Shrek next, they will definitely find out! I’m sure they are holding back a big move waiting for us to fall into the trap.”
Wang Yan's analysis was all reasonable and well-founded, and everyone had to believe it.
Everyone was silent for a while, thinking and digesting Wang Yan's inference.
"Teacher Wang's speculation is indeed very reasonable, but we are the ones who should be on guard against the Dou Ling Royal Academy. However, vigilance is vigilance, but we don't have to worry too much. After all, we have made similar considerations before, and we deliberately We have hidden Senior Dai and Senior Sister Ling and have not let them appear, just to wait for someone to hold back our ultimate move. I believe that if these two come on stage this time, plus Sister Xiaotao, we will definitely not have any problems. .”
After Wang Yan finished speaking, Ling Ge expressed his own opinions, which could be regarded as a response to Wang Yan's concerns.
Ling Ge's words immediately made everyone suddenly enlightened, with a feeling of clearing the air.
yes! It is said that today is different from the past. Today's Shrek team is not just the reserve team that did not even have a soul king. After Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, and Ling Luochen recovered, they Although the overall strength is still not as good as the original configuration, it is no longer what everyone can control.
So what if there is a conspiracy? Not to mention that they have two soul emperors at this time, even when there is no soul king in the front, they still go up, just fight with them and it's over! There is so much to worry about.
Seeing that everyone had regained their fighting spirit, Wang Yan nodded. In fact, 90% of the reason why he looked worried was just fake.
Now that the competition has reached the stage of sixteen to eight, even if the soul emperor powers of Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng are exposed, it is still worthwhile.
And with the two of them taking action at the same time, they must be able to easily solve any back-ups that Dou Ling Royal Soul Master Academy has.
[In view of the general environment,
So in fact, he is not worried about the result of the game. The big deal is to expose his strength and his trump card. What else is the big deal?
But what Wang Yan was worried about was the hearts of the children in the reserve team, so based on the principle that as long as the teacher was anxious first, the students would not be anxious, so Wang Yan chose to take the lead on behalf of his students and be the first to worry.
And the final result, it turns out, the effect is indeed good.
"Alright, let's use the troops to block the next games and the water to cover them up. We at Shrek are never afraid of any game."
"Now that we've finished talking about our opponents,
So let me tell you about the rules of the knockout stage. From everyone’s reaction just now, it seems that they don’t quite understand the process of the knockout stage! "
Wang Yan's face changed quickly. The worry on his face disappeared in an instant, and he was actually ready to tell everyone the rules of the game.
Black lines appeared on everyone's heads. It was their first time to participate in the continent-wide soul fighting competition. How could they know if they were not told.
However, this complaint can only be made in the heart, and it is impossible to say it in front of Wang Yan.
Next, Wang Yan explained the rules of the knockout competition in detail.
"The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition has a very long history. It existed for a long time ten thousand years before Shrek was founded. According to legend, at that time, it was still hosted by Wuhun Palace, and the final The prizes are also provided by Wuhun Palace to reward young talents who win the competition."
"However, Wuhun Palace is not a fool, so naturally it is impossible to give away things for free every year. In the past, those who won the final victory in the competition are basically the geniuses from Wuhun Palace."
"And in the first year of Shrek's establishment, the first-generation Shrek Seven Monsters broke this cycle and won the championship in one fell swoop."
"And you should be very clear about the subsequent history. The Spirit Hall was eventually destroyed by the Seven Shrek Monsters of the first generation. After its destruction, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition did not die with it. And disappeared. Not only did it not disappear, but it was inherited by the three empires. After tens of thousands of years of development, the rules of the competition are not static. For example, since the Sun and Moon Empire joined the competition, A lot of rules have been changed specifically.”
"After years of advancing with the times, many rules are constantly changing. Especially the final knockout rounds."
"In order to make the competition more exciting, and also to better demonstrate the overall strength of the participating colleges and ensure that the competition is as fair as possible, the final knockout competition method will be very different from the previous ones.
"Among them, the biggest difference is that the knockout matches no longer determine the competition method by drawing lots like the round-robin matches. The unified rule is that each knockout match is divided into two days, and during these two days, there will be a team battle. and an individual elimination match.
Even winning the first team battle does not mean that you will definitely qualify in the end. Because on the second day of the team battle, there will be an individual elimination match.
If the team that loses the team battle can defeat all seven members of the opponent with less than three members in the subsequent individual knockout rounds, then it can turn defeat into victory. The team that wins the team battle only needs to defeat three of the opponent with the strength of seven people to ensure qualifying. "
"This format not only reflects the importance of the overall strength of the team, but also gives opportunities to teams with strong individual strength."
Having said this, Wang Yan turned to look at Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, and following his gaze, everyone also turned their attention to the two of them.
"To give you the most vivid example, take the soul emperor-level experts like Xiaotao and Yaoheng in our team. Even if we lose in the team battle, as long as we send two of them in the subsequent individual challenge, , let them shine in this individual competition and eliminate all seven of the other party with the help of two people. Then, even if we lose the team battle, we can still win this knockout match in the end. This will directly Promotion appears."
Everyone listened carefully to Wang Yan's explanation of the rules of the knockout rounds. Although they felt that the knockout rounds seemed a bit more cumbersome than the round-robin, but careful consideration behind the cumbersomeness gave the game a lot of suspense and gave many teams the opportunity to make a comeback.
The next knockout match is not only a test of teamwork, but also a great opportunity to demonstrate personal strength.
For those old academies with real strength, they will add a student with the highest cultivation level to their team, in order to turn the tide as much as possible in the subsequent individual competitions of the knockout rounds and gain the opportunity to turn defeat into victory. .
Of course, although this kind of competition method gives
The team has a second chance, but there are definitely problems that come with it.
Huo Yuhao, who has always considered problems very carefully, quickly thought of a question.
"Teacher Wang, what should we do if some teams are too seriously injured or exhausted as a team and cannot participate in the subsequent individual competitions?"
However, although Huo Yuhao was asking Wang Yan, someone else answered his question before Wang Yan could.
"This is not difficult. There are policies and countermeasures. In such a situation, the reserve team in each team will come into play."
The person who answered Huo Yuhao's question was Dai Yaoheng. He happened to have a deep understanding of the question Huo Yuhao asked.
Seeing that it was Dai Yueheng who took the initiative to talk to him when he answered his question, Huo Yuhao felt very complicated at this time.
On the one hand, he didn't want to talk to the man named Dai, but on the other hand, he felt that it was rude to ignore him when he was talking to him.
I have mixed feelings, and I blame him for why he insists on talking to me. I shouldn't ask this question!
At this moment, someone came to Huo Yuhao's rescue.
"Oh? What do you mean, Senior Dai, can you tell me more specifically?"
The person who spoke was naturally Ling Ge. Seeing Yuhao's confused look of not wanting to speak, he knew what was bothering him.
Ling Ge asked Dai Yaoheng about the areas he was familiar with. Dai Yaoheng, who had always wanted to have a good relationship with Ling Ge, naturally didn't want to let go of this good opportunity, and naturally he knew everything he knew.
"It actually doesn't matter. I was just not a member of the reserve team in the last competition. As a member of the reserve team, I didn't have many opportunities to play. A few of them were as a player in the final knockout rounds. The reserve team fights with the other team’s reserve team, so they get to know each other better.”
"The reason why every team has to bring a reserve team when registering is so that if a problem arises with the main players, the reserve team can take over."
"This also means that the stronger a team's reserve team is, the better the team's chance of turning defeat into victory."
Speaking of this, Dai Yueheng suddenly showed a somewhat embarrassed smile and said to Ling Ge and the other seven: "Actually, this is what you should be doing in this competition, and it's all because of our official selection of players. Something went wrong and you have to bear responsibilities that you should not bear at such an age. When it is really your turn to perform, it should be in the next competition five years later."
Not only Dai Yueheng thought of this, but Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen also thought of this, looking at the seven people with apologetic eyes.
It was all because of the carelessness of the seven of them and their contempt for that group of evil soul masters that everyone was in this situation. Otherwise, these little guys should not have to bear the current pressure.
I really feel sorry for them.
Everyone felt the apologetic look in the three people's eyes, but they didn't have any complaints.
Although there is great pressure in adversity, the growth they gain here is also precious.
It was a blessing in disguise. Who else could have the opportunity to participate in two continent-wide advanced soul master academy soul fighting competitions as a member of the main team like them?
Every difficulty we experienced today will become a precious memory in the future.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two teams he led was just right, Wang Yan also showed a satisfied smile.
He was naturally happy to see that the relationship between the two teams had not become tense due to this sudden pressure.
Wang Yan nodded slightly and said, "Okay, since Yao Heng has introduced me on my behalf, I don't need to say any more. In that case, let me arrange the order of appearance for tomorrow's game. Although there shouldn't be any problems , but we can no longer underestimate our opponents and be careless.”
Wang Yan's last words really touched everyone's heart.
After today, since Ling Ge and Ma Xiaotao joined forces, they have indeed been a little too relaxed, a little too relaxed.
.
"Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Ling Luochen, Beibei, Ling Ge, Huo Yuhao, and Wang Dong. The seven of you come out to participate in the team battle. Ling Luochen, Ling Ge, and Huo Yuhao are in charge. The others attack head-on, using Our strength is enough to defeat the opponent openly and let them see how powerful we are, Shrek!"
"Caitou, although you are not required to play this time, we do need you to make a batch of cigars and distribute them to everyone for use during the competition."
"OK."
Although Wang Yan did not arrange for him to appear, He Caitou showed no dissatisfaction at all and fully agreed to Wang Yan's request.
He knew that Wang Yan must have his own reasons for doing this.
