Chapter 334: The Only Difference Is a Small Win, a Moderate Win, or a Big Win
"I already have a solution to this problem. That is to request a soundproof soul tool barrier to cover the entire competition stage, isolating us from external influences. Those petty tricks won't affect us.
Our biggest concern right now is how to defeat Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy in the most impressive way possible. Since we are in Sun Moon Empire, this means we are on their home turf. I fear they might resort to shady tactics."
"Senior Xu Sanshi, can we really win under normal circumstances?" A bald reserve team member looked concerned. "I've watched Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy's matches over the past few days. Their strength is truly formidable, and I can't help but feel worried."
Xu Sanshi declared loudly, "Of course, Shrek Academy will win! The only difference is a small win, a moderate win, or a big win!
Remember this we are the number one soul master academy on the Douluo Continent. We attract top tier students every year, and while we may not be able to compete with Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy in soul tools, this tournament isn't just about soul tools!
As long as we give it our all, no one in this tournament is our match!
Furthermore, we carry the honor of our academy. In this battle against Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, we must win we cannot afford to lose!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire team's morale soared. Even Jiang Nannan, who usually disliked Xu Sanshi, felt the weight of responsibility settle upon her shoulders.
Standing nearby, Cai Mei'er nodded approvingly as she observed Xu Sanshi. He truly had the demeanor of a captain. No matter how strong the opponent was, a captain must always inspire confidence and strengthen the team's resolve.
And like her, she firmly believed that Shrek Academy could not lose.
After all, in every previous tournament, as long as Shrek Academy participated and didn't withdraw, they always took the championship.
Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy?
They were just a stepping stone on Shrek Academy's path to victory.
"But what about the formidable Huo Yuhao? How do we deal with him?" The bald reserve team member still looked uneasy. "Even though he hasn't appeared in any matches recently, his individual strength is overwhelming.
If we lose three rounds in the individual elimination matches, and he continues competing instead of choosing team battles, then he can single handedly win four rounds and defeat us."
Hearing this, some team members began to worry.
After all, Huo Yuhao's past performances had been astonishing.
"Relax," Xu Sanshi said confidently. "I've already told you before if we face Huo Yuhao, I will win. Leave him to me. Trust in my strength."
Tang Sect Waiting Area
Wang Dong turned to Bei Bei and asked, "Brother Bei, how long do you think Shrek Academy will take to defeat Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy?"
She had no doubt that Shrek Academy would win.
After all, this time was different from the previous tournament.
In the last tournament, Shrek Academy had lost many students due to Elder Xuan's negligence, as they fell prey to evil soul masters.
Because of this, Shrek Academy had no real chance of winning and had only participated to uphold their reputation.
But this time?
Shrek Academy had not suffered any major losses.
All the team members had arrived safely in Mingdu, and the tournament was progressing smoothly.
This was undoubtedly a good omen.
As long as Shrek Academy played normally, everything would turn out fine.
Bei Bei gazed at Wang Dong and spoke slowly, "I believe Shrek Academy will win, but it won't be easy.
You've met Xiao Hongchen, so you should have a rough idea of his strength level.
And yet, Xiao Hongchen was merely the captain of Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy's reserve team five years ago.
By now, he should have become the official team captain."
"But instead? Huo Yuhao is leading the team."
"This alone proves just how powerful he truly is.
I've interacted with Huo Yuhao before he's an incredibly talented individual. What we've seen from him so far is only a fraction of his true strength.
His real power hasn't even been fully displayed yet."
"After all, he is not just a soul master he is also an exceptional soul engineer.
If he starts using soul tools, even I wouldn't be able to defeat him.
The only way to win is if Xu Sanshi uses defensive soul tools to withstand Huo Yuhao's attacks and counters with unique soul skills to claim victory."
Hearing this, Wang Dong felt a chill.
She had already realized Huo Yuhao's terrifying strength from his matches, but some of his abilities were still a mystery to her.
For example why had Xu Tianzhen's attacks been ineffective against him?
But now, she was truly shocked to hear that even Bei Bei someone so strong did not have the confidence to defeat Huo Yuhao in a one on one battle.
Bei Bei's evaluation of Huo Yuhao was incredibly high.
Nearby, Xiao Xiao leaned in and asked, "Brother Bei, if Senior Xu Sanshi and his team win today, does that mean we'll have to face them in the finals?"
"Of course," Bei Bei replied with a smile.
"Based on the overall strength of the participating sects, I believe that most of them are quite weak.
Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy is the strongest team standing in Shrek Academy's path to the finals.
If they can defeat them today, then Xu Sanshi's team will definitely make it to the championship match."
Bei Bei let out a long sigh, then waved his hand.
"Alright, I'll continue analyzing later. For now, stay in the waiting area and don't leave.
I'm going to find Xu Sanshi and tell them not to aim to kill Huo Yuhao during the team battle."
In Bei Bei's eyes, Shrek Academy would undoubtedly win three individual elimination rounds before transitioning into team battles.
Since Shrek Academy excelled in team battles, once that stage began, their victory would be guaranteed.
However, team battles were dangerous, and fighters sometimes went too far in the heat of the moment.
He had known Huo Yuhao for six years.
And since Huo Yuhao had also given him advice on finding Tang Ya, Bei Bei didn't want to see him die in this tournament.
Of course, Bei Bei's decision wasn't entirely selfless.
He still needed to find Tang Ya.
Since his search in the Three Empires had failed, he had no choice but to try looking in Sun Moon Empire.
And among all the people he knew in Sun Moon Empire, the only one he could rely on was Huo Yuhao.
High Platform
Xu Tianran frowned slightly, feeling a sense of unease.
He turned to Jing Hongchen and asked, "Master Hongchen, how is Huo Yuhao and the team's preparation?
Do they have the confidence to win?"
Since this was Sun Moon Empire's home turf, he did not want to see Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy lose to Shrek Academy.
If they lost, it would bring disgrace to the royal family as well.
