After the first round of the first match ended, Zhong Dingxiu selected the teams for the second match and urged them to take the stage as soon as possible.

For him, battles with only Soul Master and Soul Grandmaster in the team were quite boring, so he naturally wanted to end them quickly.

Meanwhile, Zhou Qing and the others, especially Zhou Qing, Tang San, and Wang Sheng, were all extremely focused, either observing the way the members of the Soul Master team cooperated, understanding the number of various types of Soul Master in the team battle, or learning about the abilities of different Martial Soul.

In the blink of an eye, nine games have passed.

"Qing Ge, I've noticed that teams like Team 20, where all members are Assault System, seem to be very rare," Tang San said. "Most teams have four main types: Assault System, Control System, Agility-Attack System, and Defense System. Support System, Food System, and Healing System are relatively rare."

"That's normal. Most Soul Master groups don't allow their team to have too many different types of Soul Master."

Zhou Qing knew very well that if the types of Soul Master in a team were too limited, then the team's ability to avoid danger would be relatively poor.

Whether Soul Hunting in the Soul Beast Forest, adventuring in unknown territories, or participating in Soul Fight in the Soul Fighting Arena, a truly complete seven-person team must have all seven types of Soul Master to be able to face all sorts of unexpected situations.

Although some sects and families have Martial Soul same Soul Master teams and the same Soul Master category, it's because they have power and resources behind them. In most cases, their status means that they only need to deal with situations that their Martial Soul can handle, and they don't need to spend too much effort on other problems that they can't deal with.

Under normal circumstances, most Commoner Soul Master would never choose a Soul Master with the exact same Martial Soul or Soul Master category as themselves as a teammate.

"Support System, Food System, and Healing System martial souls are rare. Those who possess these types of Martial Soul are mostly in logistical positions. They are indispensable to an army. Therefore, once Support System, Food-type Martial Soul Martial Soul, or Healing System Martial Soul is discovered that can be cultivated, even if the person is a commoner, it is said that they will sometimes be exceptionally admitted to the Advanced Academy or specially invited to join various forces."

Speaking of this, Zhou Qing thought of Oscar in the original work and added, "But it's not absolute. Like the two of us, we were Innate Full Soul Power, but we weren't directly taken back to the Spirit Hall Branch in Nuoding City by Grandmaster Su Yuntao... The Spirit Hall still respects the wishes of Soul Master, or maybe the lower-level staff of the Spirit Hall value combat power more."

This is a common trait among almost all Soul Master on the continent: even those Support System, Healing System, or Food System skills yearn to become Battle Soul Master.

The reason for this idea, besides the human instinct of "combativeness," may be due to the overall "three-way balance" environment of the Douluo Continent.

If unification is achieved and maintained for a long period of time, people's perceptions will likely change due to the arrival of peace.

"Speaking of which, aren't the roles of Healing System, Food System, and Support System all supportive in team battles?" Wang Sheng also had some doubts. "Why divide them into three categories? According to the Six Major Classes you categorized, Qing Ge, couldn't you just use 'support' to encompass them all?"

"There are some differences in functionality."

Zhou Qing didn't intend to analyze Wang Sheng's analysis to the level of "war," but only to divide it according to the most basic meaning of the words. "However, in team competitions, it is indeed a bit too complicated to divide a support into three based on different functions. Moreover, if you include those niche support methods, such as Spiritual Interference and vine Entangling, there are more than three types of Support System."

but--

In the context of war, Healing System are the most convenient medical personnel, capable of healing the wounded in a short time. Food System- Food System Soul Master are even more powerful. Soul Saint and above can produce enough food to supply an army of a thousand for ten to fifteen days. Moreover, it is said that food produced by Food System Soul Master has an extremely long shelf life as long as its appearance is not damaged.

Therefore, this is the fundamental reason why Healing System and Food System were separated from Support System and formed their own system—these two types of Martial Soul play an irreplaceable role in cold weapon warfare.

In team battles like Soul Fight, dividing support into three types is obviously redundant. However, due to the invisible and intangible atmosphere of war on the continent, which unconsciously influences all Soul Master, no Soul Master realizes that this division of the Soul Master system is inappropriate in Soul Fight.

Even if someone realizes something, he/she is not Transmigrator like Zhou Qing and cannot look down on all of this from a higher perspective.

Given the original environment in mainland China, without the impact, collision, and integration of new ideas from outside, it will only be assimilated. Even if it has reverse thinking, without exposure to new things, it cannot break out of the original framework. In the most extreme case, it will only go to the opposite side, which is completely different from the rules on the surface.

However, all of this was too advanced for Wang Sheng, so Zhou Qing didn't mention it.

Wang Sheng didn't press further. The three categories of Support System, and the fact that they could be further divided into even more types based on Martial Soul functions, were enough to keep him pondering for a long time...

After the first round of eighteen matches, Zhong Dingxiu led the Star Luo Royal Academy Team to the residence of the host City Lord Xiao.

Of all the houses in Nuoding City, only the Xiao Manor was the most luxurious. In order to forge a good relationship between the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empire families, City Lord Xiao had no choice but to give up his own house for Zhong Dingxiu and the others to rest temporarily.

"City Lord Xiao, you must take good care of Elder Zhong and the Star Luo Empire Emperor Team. You can't neglect them."

As soon as he stepped out of the Xiao Manor, City Lord Xiao saw Dales waiting outside.

"You don't need to say anything more."

Upon seeing Dales, City Lord Xiao became angry, "You tricked me back then."

"Hehe, we're old friends. You almost cheated me out of my Gold Soul Coin back then!" Dales' mouth gaped open, looking heartbroken. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at City Lord Xiao's empty left sleeve, and a barely perceptible look of schadenfreude appeared on his face.

"Hmph, isn't this my retribution?" City Lord Xiao grabbed his empty left sleeve with his left hand and said coldly.

"Brother, it's my fault... I recently learned a new move called Poison Dragon Drill. Shall we go find Sisi and try it out?" Dales knew about City Lord Xiao's quirks and chuckled. "I haven't seen her for many days, and I miss her quite a bit too."

"Dead."

"Uh... how did he die?"

"They used me as a shield, otherwise it wouldn't have been as simple as just losing a left arm..."
