197: Elephant Armor Team
In another private room in the teahouse, Ning Fengzhi met Qi Tian alone as he wished.
Qi Tian also thought about refusing, but the Sword Douluo beside him was eyeing him covetously. In the absence of Dugu Bo, he couldn't afford to refuse Ning Fengzhi's face.
"Sect Master Ning, Senior Sword Douluo."
"Your strength surprises me. I'm afraid you will be the champions this time."
Ning Fengzhi's voice was like a spring breeze, but Qi Tian didn't think so.
He started by flattering others, it seems that Ning Fengzhi has quite big ambitions.
Although he was unhappy, Qi Tian still kept a smile on his face, "Sect Master Ning thinks too highly of us. The strength of the Spirit Hall team is probably even stronger. If we want to win the championship, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to get past them."
Ning Fengzhi did not deny that he had heard some information about the contestants from the Spirit Hall this year.
"However, I still believe that you will achieve the final victory."
After all, he came into contact with Qi Tian through Xue Qinghe, so he maintained a relatively tactful attitude during the subsequent process of winning him over.
Qi Tian's responses were also intermittent and did not give Ning Fengzhi the result he wanted.
Finally, when Tang San finished his meeting with Xue Qinghe, he reluctantly ended his conversation with Qi Tian.
After Ning Fengzhi took Tang San away, Xue Qinghe looked at Qi Tian with a smile on his face, "If my guess is correct, the teacher should try to win you over, right?"
Qi Tian shrugged but did not deny it.
…
In the next few days, just as Qi Tian had guessed, the opponents of the Fenghuo Team all chose to surrender without exception.
In the tenth game, they still won passively.
As soon as he returned to the rest area, Ah Fei couldn't help complaining: "I thought it was nothing, but now that I think about it, all those opponents surrendered, it's really boring."
Feng Wutian said unhappily: "It's good enough to win passively. There are so many teams out there hoping to win without fighting."
Especially the weaker teams of Shrek Academy, they were unwilling to admit defeat to them, nor did they want to be nailed to the pillar of shame. Therefore, when facing the Shrek team, they all used their full strength to fight the Shrek team to the end.
Under Tang San's leadership, they won the victory, but the price of victory was too high, causing three of their substitutes to be exhausted.
Their opponent today is the Elephant Armor Academy team. Compared to the previous teams, the strength of the Elephant Armor team is at the top of all participating teams, so it will not be easy for the Shrek team to win.
"Xiao San, Jing Ling and Huang Yuan have been exhausted in the past few days. Why don't they admit defeat in this battle? Save your strength and face the next battle." Yu Xiaogang said.
There are only five qualifying spots in the preliminaries. If Shrek Academy wants to advance, they must defeat one of the Five Elements Academy.
Yu Tianheng also tended to avoid fighting the Elephant Team, and defeated the Thunder Team in the subsequent game.
As long as the Elephant Armor Team does not lose to Thunder Academy, they will not be able to advance.
In this way, Yu Tianheng will maintain an absolute advantage over Yu Tianxin in the competition.
It was unrealistic to say that they were afraid of the Elephant Armor Team. But if they wanted to defeat the opponent, the price they paid was a bit high, and at least some of their tactics had to be exposed.
Tang San said: "Teacher, if we let the Elephant Armor Team win, and then the Elephant Armor Team loses to the Thunder Team, they will definitely fight for the last promotion spot. If we lose to the other three element academies, it will become our three teams competing for the remaining two spots."
"Teacher, I think we can't let others take the initiative. Since Senior Jing Ling and Senior Huang Yuan are ill, let Tian Heng and Tai Long play. In a head-on confrontation, we will at most expose some of our strength, but not our tactics."
Thunder Academy already has the strength to be in the top five, so it is not realistic to use these little tricks to eliminate them. And if they do so, they will undoubtedly put themselves in a passive position.
If the other three elemental academies lose a game to Thunder Academy, and they also lose to other elemental academies, then in the end, their wins are likely to be the same as Elephant Armor Academy. But the opponent can directly advance without overtime by defeating them.
Of course, they are unwilling to accept the consequence of losing the rice instead of trying to steal the chicken.
Yu Xiaogang pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Xiao San, let's do as you say. But Tian Heng, you and Tai Long should not release the fourth soul skill at will, and try to preserve our strength as much as possible."
Soon after, the emcee's voice sounded.
The match between the Shrek team and the Elephant Team will start soon.
Qi Tian, who was in the rest area, also noticed a burly figure on the platform.
Ever since Hu Yanzhen caused a scene at the college exchange competition last time, he has gotten to know the other party.
Hu Yanzhen must have been invited by Sarath to come here today. He also attached great importance to the match between the Elephant Armor Team and the Shrek Team.
Saras wanted to understand the specific strength of the Shrek Team through the Elephant Team to facilitate future responses.
Hu Yanzhen wanted to see the Elephant Armor Team defeat the Shrek Team with his own eyes. After all, the qualifying spots in previous years had always been taken by their Five Elements Academy, and the Elephant Armor Team could not be absent this year.
The strength shown by the Shrek team has already posed a threat to them. If they lose this game, they will only have a theoretical chance of advancing, which can almost mean that this Soul Master Competition can end early.
"The tactics of the Shrek team are worth our consideration. I hope the Elephant Team can force out the Shrek team's trump card." Feng Wuotan said with a relaxed look.
Given the performance in the college exchange competition, he certainly knew that the Shrek team was stronger than the Elephant Armor team. As for checking the opponent's tactics, he seemed a little careless.
After all, the Fenghuo Team has strong hard power, which is the real confidence.
"Tang San didn't go to Oscar. Does that mean he gave up on using the human hammer tactic?" Qi Tian analyzed off the court.
In this match, except for the two auxiliary players in the back row, the other five members of the Shrek team can go on the field to fight the opponent. With this advantage, they really don't need to use aerial tactics.
As for Zhu Zhuqing, she had no chance to play, so she didn't even come to the scene, and stayed in the academy to cultivate her soul power.
It was a pity for Qi Tian. If he could bring Zhu Zhuqing into the Fenghuo Team, her Netherworld Cat spirit would be stronger than A Fei and Feng Ye's spirits.
The matter is done. Even if he wanted to win her over, after the team list had been submitted to the competition organizing committee, it was impossible for Zhu Zhuqing to squeeze in midway.
On the ring, with the referee's command, the competition officially began.
Following Tang San's idea, the Shrek team did not choose to expose their tactics, but wanted to confront the Elephant Armor team head-on in a reckless manner.
Hu Yanli quickly called on everyone to activate their first soul skill to block the first wave of attack from the Shrek team.
