A swift and decisive battle

Sun Buyu, however, was somewhat worried. "This kind of fast-paced tactic is very easy to execute, but also very easy to counter."

"The Elephant Armor Team used this tactic in their match against the Shrek Team. If they hadn't suddenly 'got it,' they probably would have been on the defensive in the subsequent matches."

Most importantly, this tactic is typically used when a strong team plays against a weak team.

After all, charging headlong into the opponent, if one's individual strength is insufficient, is no different from suicide.

Wu Qi countered with a question, "Do you think the Shrek Team would consider themselves a weak team?"

The Shrek Team has maintained a perfect record since the start of the competition, so it's definitely unrealistic to call them a weak team.

Wu Qi countered again, "Since they don't see themselves as weak and have experience countering this tactic, the Shrek Team couldn't possibly have predicted we would use this tactic before the match."

Sun Buyu murmured, "Indeed, they wouldn't have thought of that."

Everyone agreed with Wu Qi's words.

But the Shrek Team's record is fifty seconds. How much faster would they need to improve to break the record?

After all, forty-nine seconds and thirty seconds are two different concepts.

In thirty seconds, the Shrek Team probably wouldn't even have time to set up their formation.

"After the match starts, pretend to set up our formation to make them think we want to have a proper Team Spirit Battle. Once the referee announces the start of the match, everyone activate their Martial Soul as quickly as possible and charge into their formation with me."

The next day's matches were very intense, with many Battle Team having grudges against each other clashing, resulting in each match lasting a long time.

The Preliminary Round are played one round a day, and the matches scheduled later in the day will be finished even if it's late at night; they can't be dragged out to the next day.

Today, we waited until the very end of Hai Hour) before the match between the Seven Treasures Team and the Shrek Team finally took place.

Even though it was late at night, a large crowd still stayed to watch the match between the two undefeated teams.

It's worth mentioning that Tang San didn't let Tailong play in this match.

Strictly speaking, the Seven Treasures Team only has two front-line members, Qiangu Changkong and Huo Wushuang. When Tailong enters the field, Shrek becomes a team with three front-line members.

Both Wu Qi and Feng Xiaotian are Agility Attack-Type Spirit Master, so Ma Hongjun's role in this match will be greater than Tailong's.

Having learned his lesson from last time, Ma Hongjun didn't eat before the competition this time and remained hungry.

They hadn't eaten much at noon, and by this time they were starving.

On the other hand, the Seven Treasures Team delayed their lunch by an hour and ate more, so they can still hold on.

With the Master of Ceremonies's introduction, the two teams took the stage simultaneously.

When Tang San saw that it was Wu Qi who appeared instead of Feng Xiaotian, a smile couldn't help but appear on his lips.

Yu Xiaogang, standing below the Arena, also breathed a sigh of relief.

He was genuinely afraid that Tang San would be stubborn and confront Feng Xiaotian's Seven Treasures Team head-on.

Since Wu Qi was such a good-for-nothing, he was relieved.

Before the match began, Dai Mubai made a bold statement, "Seven Treasures Team, today I'll show you what Waterloo tastes like."

Surprisingly, Wu Qi seemed to be in a good mood today. Faced with his provocation, he simply nodded slightly and remained silent.

This situation even made Dai Mubai lose confidence.

Was the Seven Treasures Team overly confident in their abilities, or did they knowingly give up and play haphazardly because they were no match for them?

He glanced at Tang San, who gestured for him to remain silent and whispered, "Mu Bai, say less. None of us have eaten yet; let's conserve our energy for the upcoming match."

He seemed to guess that Wu Qi wanted to use the method of not fighting back or retaliating to waste their money.

"As you all probably know, the Seven Treasures Team and the Shrek Team have never lost a match since the start of the competition."

"So, in today's match, will Seven Treasures Team maintain their winning streak, or will Shrek Team emerge as a dark horse? Let's wait and see."

As soon as the Master of Ceremonies finished speaking, the referee announced, "Both teams, please get ready. The match will begin in one minute."

Under Wu Qi's instruction, the Seven Treasures Team Members formed a battle formation, attempting to engage in a true Team Spirit Battle battle with the Shrek Team.

Seeing this, Tang San breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He was genuinely afraid that the Seven Treasures Team would once again turn Team Spirit Battle into one-on-one Soul Fighting.

After all, in terms of individual ability, they are still somewhat lacking.

From his seat, Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly. "A fairly standard offensive and defensive formation. It seems Little Wu is planning to use teamwork."

Gu Rong said irritably, "This kid is very clever. In previous matches, he basically won by relying on his individual strength, which was not interesting at all. I hope this match will be more exciting."

Despite his complaints, he understood that "a true master strategist doesn't necessarily achieve great feats."

With such a significant lead in strength, there's no need to reveal tactics when facing ordinary opponents.

With the one-minute preparation time about to end, Wu Qi closed his eyes and focused his mind, sensing the changes in the surrounding airflow.

When the referee is about to blow the whistle, there is a breathing motion that disturbs the airflow around him.

He captured this scene clearly.

He activated his Martial Soul at the very last second as the whistle blew.

The rest of the Seven Treasures Team kept their eyes on him, and when they saw him make a move, the others immediately activated their Martial Soul.

"They jumped the whistle?"

Some viewers are still hung up on this.

But Douluo Continent doesn't have high frame rate cameras, nor does it have any cameras at all. How can they recreate what just happened?

For referees, cases where a ruling is optional are generally left unresolved to avoid sparking heated controversy.

The fact that the Seven Treasures Team activated their Martial Soul so quickly only proves that they reacted swiftly.

In a normal Team Spirit Battle, after activating their Martial Soul, both sides will conduct the first round of probing around their formations, trying to find each other's weaknesses.

Therefore, on the Shrek Team's side, only Yu Tianheng and Dai Mubai activated their Martial Soul first, while the others were still observing the situation and conserving their Soul Power as needed.

By the time they realized what was happening, Wu Qi had already charged forward.

Fourth Soul Skill: Wind Whirlwind Dragon Body!

With his Soul Skill activated, Wu Qi's speed became unbelievable. The trail behind him knocked the unsuspecting Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng to the ground.

Tang San was shocked. "This is bad! They want a quick victory!"

He reacted quickly and fired the Blue Silver Grass at a very tricky angle, trying to slow down Wu Qi's attack.

Zhou Yun, standing behind, was immediately alarmed. "The Team Captain is right, Tang San's control techniques are indeed tricky."

but.

The first move has its advantages, and the second move has its own countermeasures.

The Thorny Devil Vine Martial Soul rose from the ground, Entanglement with the Blue Silver Grass and twisting into a pretzel.

With the Blue Silver Grass blocked, Wu Qi's figure could no longer stop it.

The moment his third Soul Skill was activated, five Soul Ring— yellow, purple, and black—lit up beneath his feet.

"Third Soul Skill, Raging Windstorm!"

With a flap of its wings, it stirred up gusts of strong wind, and before anyone could react, the entire Shrek Team was swept up by the Storm.
