Shrek Advanced to the Finals
With the stands full, the referee immediately announced, "The Team Captain of Shrek Academy Team and Thunder Academy Team, please come to the front of the Presiding Platform for the Guessing Priority toss."
Having secured a spot in the Top Six after the Resurrection Match, the Thunder Academy Team cherishes this hard-won qualification even more.
Therefore, they made thorough preparations for different match orders.
Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin are the Team Captain of their respective teams.
Compared to Yu Tianxin's confidence, Yu Tianheng seemed less confident.
Yu Tianxin won the Guessing Priority, and a draw was immediately held.
He was lucky this time; he drew the Two-Two-Three Battle Formation, which was the easiest winning format they had discussed beforehand.
Yu Tianxin then drew lots, and luckily, she drew the Team Battle.
In other words, the Arena Match will be held last.
During Team Battle, even when they were full, they would eat as many of Oscar's Sausage as possible to replenish their depleted Soul Power.
Both sides were satisfied with the order of the three competition formats.
Next, the referee gave both sides time to prepare.
The Two-Two-Three Battle Formation requires submitting a list of players to be on the field before the match.
Both sides have One Incense Stick's time to decide the order of battle.
Wu Qi didn't know the Thunder Academy Team's arrangements, but he knew the Shrek Academy Team's personality.
"The first match will most likely be between Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, the second should include Yu Tianheng, and the third should feature Tang San."
The safest approach is to have Shrek's three strongest players spread out across three matches.
As for the Thunder Academy, Wu Qi guessed that Yu Tianxin might fight in the second or third match.
Of the three matches, the Battle Team the least pressure.
If the team loses the first match, the pressure on the players will be immense in the second match, and Yu Tianxin will likely have to take the field then.
The Thunder Academy Team has never used the Two-Two-Three Battle Formation before, so everything is just speculation.
Feng Xiaotian had a different opinion. "In a two-on-two situation, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing are the biggest threats. I think Yu Tianxin will gamble and run into them."
In two-on-two Soul Fighting, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill is almost always the winning formula.
Furthermore, both Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai are Battle Spirit Master, making it difficult to restrict them.
Soon, with both Battle Team submitting their rosters, the match began.
Wu Qi's prediction of the Shrek Academy's battle order was extremely accurate.
In the first match, they did indeed send out Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.
For Shrek Team, this Two-Two-Three Battle Formation is a must-win situation.
If they win the Team Battle next, they won't have to go into a third Arena Match and can conserve their energy for the upcoming Finals.
As long as they win by two points, they can ignore the Thunder Team even if they know they are going to lose and they insist on having the Arena Match.
However, only Feng Xiaotian guessed the correct order of appearance for the Thunder Team.
Yu Tianxin appeared alongside Xiao Yun, Control-Type Spirit Master.
Control-Type Spirit Master are the nemesis of Agility Attack-Type Spirit Master. Xiao Yun's goal was to keep a close eye on Zhu Zhuqing and prevent her from using her Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
"Damn it, he actually appeared first." Yu Tianheng's face was gloomy.
Yu Xiaogang's pre-match prediction was wrong; Yu Tianxin was the first to take the stage.
Therefore, Yu Tianheng was placed in the second match to intercept the opponent.
This revealed a significant tactical flaw in their strategy.
"It's alright, Mu Bai and Zhuqing might not necessarily lose," Tang San said in a deep voice.
Both teams are in position, and the match is about to begin!
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul Fusion Skill has already been revealed, so there's no need for them to hold back in this match.
As arranged by Yu Xiaogang, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing were to use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill as soon as the competition began.
Once they defeat Yu Tianxin, the Thunder Academy Team will be powerless to fight again, and the final outcome of this match will undoubtedly belong to Shrek.
But don't forget, Thunder Academy is directly managed by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and they have quite a few teachers advising them behind the scenes. How could they not have anticipated their thoughts before the competition?
At the start of the match, Xiao Yun used his Control Soul Skill to briefly seal Zhu Zhuqing's body.
Yu Tianxin followed closely behind, wrestling with Dai Mubai and preventing the two from using their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
At this point, the outcome of the match was no longer in doubt.
Dai Mubai has always been a bully who preys on the weak and fears the strong. He is no match for Yu Tianxin, who is powerful and has defeated opponents of a higher level.
As expected, the first match of the Two-Two-Three Battle Formation ended with the Thunder Academy Team emerging victorious.
Dai Mubai's defeat disrupted Yu Xiaogang's plans. In the second match, Yu Tianheng must go all out to win the duel.
As fellow lightning-attribute Soul Master, Yu Tianheng found it difficult to quickly eliminate his opponent using the attributes added by his Martial Soul.
Tailong, who was paired with him, did not have the strength of Soul Ancestor. Faced with the three of them exchanging lightning-attribute attacks, he was quickly eliminated.
In the end, the Thunder Academy Team won the Two-Two-Three Battle Formation battle before Tang San could even take the field.
One loss doesn't mean anything; the Shrek Team's overall strength is superior to the Thunder Academy Team.
In Team Battle, Thunder Academy was no match; but in the Arena Match, it was the Shrek Seven Devils who replenished their Soul Power by eating Oscar Sausage, and they ultimately defeated the Scheming to the Utmost Thunder Academy Team with a score of 6 to 7.
With this, the Shrek Academy Team became the first of the three teams to advance to the Finals.
After the Arena was cleaned up, it was time for the Seven Treasures Team to face the Skywater Team.
Wu Qi and Shui Bing'er stepped onto the Arena at the same time to begin the Guessing Priority game.
Sun Buyu reminded everyone, "Shui Bing'er's Control Soul Skill are extremely powerful. In During Team Battle, everyone should stay close to Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang. Huo Wu, your Flame Purity is the highest, so be sure to remove the Control Removal from everyone in time."
The results of the Guessing Priority were quickly announced. Wu Qi was the first to draw lots, and he drew the Two-Two-Three Battle Formation. Shui Bing'er drew the Arena Match, so the Team Battle will be held in the last match.
For the Skywater Academy, the Team Battle is their only chance to score points, but it was scheduled as the last match, meaning their chances of winning the entire game are very slim.
They might not last long enough to participate in Team Battle.
The Two-Two-Three Battle Formation requires the submission of a roster before the match, and both team Team Captain return to their respective rest areas.
Wu Qi arranged, "Wushuang and Huo Wu will win the first match. The second match will be between Wang Lang and Zhu Guangzhi, regardless of their outcome."
"Xiaotian, you'll be in charge of the Arena Match. Use the Two-Two-Three Battle Formation; you don't need to participate."
They're brother academies, after all; it wouldn't be good to get shut out like that.
Of course, the combination of Wang Lang and Zhu Guangzhi may not necessarily lose; it all depends on who their opponents are.
On the Skywater Team's side, everyone was in a very heavy mood.
Facing the Seven Treasures Team, and with the competition order against them, their elimination was a foregone conclusion.
Shui Bing'er stood up and said calmly, "Making it into the Top Six is already the best result for the academy."
"Regardless of winning or losing, let's all play our best and leave no regrets."
Xue Wu added with a smile, "Besides, we might not lose with the Two-Two-Three Battle Formation. If we can drag it out to the final Team Battle, we still have a chance to advance."
