At the moment when Soul Cannon exploded, they who were next to Xia Linyuan clearly felt a violent earthquake under their feet, as if the earth might collapse at any time.
That feeling of being unable to stand anywhere made them still feel good even after they left the competition field.
That feeling is really too terrifying.
As soon as Xingluo Square and Huo Yuhao were released, I couldn't help but ask, "Linyuan, what level Soul Engineer are you at now?"
"Level 4."
"Four... cough!" Huo Yuhao choked on his own saliva.
The horrific attack just now required at least seventy-two Soul Cannon tubes. Are you telling me that you are only Level 4 Soul Engineer? Even Level 5 Soul Engineer cannot do this!
And judging from the attack power of Soul Tool just performed by Xia Linyuan, it is simply not what the ordinary level four attack type Soul Tool can do!
You see, Teacher Fan Yu's only close disciple, that big and dark guy - He Caitou, is also a genius-level Soul Engineer. He became Level 4 Soul Engineer at the age of fourteen, and he also uses fort tactics.
But no matter how strong he is, he can only equip sixty-four Soul Cannon tubes at most, and one of them is an enhanced version of Fixed-Projectile Soul Guidance Device equipment.
The reason why he can be equipped with so many Soul Cannon tubes is not only because of his big size, but also because of the full base fixation to be able to carry so many Soul Cannon tubes.
It is also a turret strategy, but you have abandoned the shortcomings of the turret strategy because it requires the fixation of the base to equip so many Soul Cannon tubes, thus losing flexibility. This is unprecedented in the thousands of years of rapid development of Soul Tool.
Moreover, it did not lose the watermelon, but also unleashed a power that was not weaker than the Level 5 Soul Engineer fort tactics.
Now you tell me that you are Level 4 Soul Engineer? Do you think I believe it? If you say that you are now Level 6 Soul Engineer, I believe it.
Xia Linyuan didn't want to waste time explaining, so he directly took out the Level 4 Soul Engineer badge that Qian Duoduo personally awarded him.
Seeing Xia Linyuan take out the Level 4 Soul Engineer badge, Huo Yuhao half-believed that Xia Linyuan was really just Level 4 Soul Engineer.
How did she know that according to the Douluo Continent's definition of Soul Engineer's level, Xia Linyuan was indeed just Level 4 Soul Engineer, but because he had made improvements on the basis of the fourth-level soul guidance core formation, his fourth-level attack Soul Tool was more powerful than the ordinary Level 5 Soul Engineer using turret tactics.
Because they played in the first game, and the game lasted less than five minutes, it was only around 7 o'clock in the morning when they left Xingluo Square, and the next game was two days later, so they had plenty of free time.
Although there was plenty of time, no one thought about relaxing. Instead, they returned to their rooms at Star Emperor Hotel and took the time to practice.
Because their most beloved "Teacher Naiya" revealed to them in advance that among the strongest teams they will encounter in the round-robin competition, there are three strong players at the Five-Ring Soul King level, and the rest are all at the Four-Ring Soul Ancestor level.
When everyone in the reserve team heard the news, except for Xia Linyuan and Gu Yuena, everyone else's eyes were filled with darkness.
Three Five-Ring Soul King level experts, and the remaining four are all Four-Ring Soul Ancestor level. God, can you stop playing like this!
Among the seven of them, you also know that Xia Linyuan and Jiang Nannan are at the Four-Ring Soul Ancestor level, there is also a Huo Yuhao and a Soul Grandmaster, and the others are also at the three-ring Soul Elder level!
This makes them beat on the head!
And in order to win these games, Xia Linyuan even used several of his trump cards (in the eyes of other people in the reserve team), and those colleges will definitely take corresponding measures.
The team battle is not bad. After all, with Xia Linyuan's superior turret tactics than the ordinary Level 4 Soul Engineer, it will definitely gain a certain advantage in the battle.
But if it's a one-on-one individual elimination match, or a two-, two-, or three-person combination match, then it's better to just admit defeat.
In a one-on-one individual elimination match, no matter how strong Xia Linyuan is personally, he can't consume the opponent's three Soul King-level experts! As long as Xia Linyuan exhausts too much and exits, there is still one Soul King-level expert on the opponent's side, and they have no chance of winning.
As for the second, second, and third combinations, the opponent is not stupid. Xia Linyuan has already shown such strong strength in the previous games, and they are still stuck on Xia Linyuan. It is better to focus on the other two groups of games, and maybe there is a possibility of winning.
Moreover, they also showed their overall strength in today's game. Maybe the opponent has already decided on the second, second and third groups and will focus on the other two groups.
It's true that Xia Linyuan is so powerful that he can eliminate the four Spirit Rhinoceros Shield Spirit Master on the opposite side in one fell swoop, yet he didn't tell them in advance, allowing them to expose their strength in front of everyone.
And their only remaining official player - Ma Xiaotao, will take at least eight days to fully recover from his injury. Can they survive that day?
They can admit defeat against this strongest opponent, but if they want to qualify from the round robin, they must at least lose only one game. What if they admit defeat and lose in the subsequent games?
What they don't know is that the issues they are worried about are not within the scope of Xia Linyuan's consideration at all.
What a joke, how could he, whose strength has reached the critical point of Douluo World, not be able to defeat a few ants that will starve to death after being starved for a few months?
Not only him, but also Gu Yuena, who looks like he is only at level thirty-five, but is actually half a god king. How could he lose to the little Soul King?
It is easy to win a small game, but the difficult thing is how to win the game reasonably.
After dinner, Inverted Clone called everyone to the conference room.
"I'm very happy that you have won another game, and Xiaotao also has two more days of buffering." Inverted Clone smiled sadly, "But the teacher has a very bad news to tell everyone."
Coming!
The delicate bodies of several women trembled at the same time.
"That is, our opponent in the next game is the strongest Zheng Tian Academy in our group. There are three strong Soul King level. The weakest of the other four is also the forty-level Soul Ancestor."
"Unfortunately, among the seven of us who can compete normally, the strongest one is classmate Xia Linyuan, with a forty-level cultivation level of Soul Power."
Even though Inverted Clone had already vaccinated several of them in advance, the girls still couldn't help but smile bitterly when they heard the news.
"In view of your current situation, my suggestion is to admit defeat. The round-robin match is not completely unwinnable. As long as we can win the remaining games, we can still qualify from the group." Inverted Clone said dullly.
"But what if we lose again after admitting defeat?" Wang Dong asked.
Inverted Clone shrugged his shoulders, as if it was none of his business, and said, "Then just pack your luggage quickly that night and go back to the college if you are confused."
Everyone: "..."
"Ahem!" Ma Xiaotao saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly touched Inverted Clone with his arm, cleared his throat, "Teacher Naiya, please correct your attitude."
Inverted Clone shrugged his shoulders again and stopped talking.
Ma Xiaotao said, "Although I didn't go to watch your game, I also heard about Xia Linyuan's performance in the game, so I think that if we get a team battle against the Zheng Tian Academy, as long as we cooperate well with Xia Linyuan's turret tactics, we still have a good chance of winning, so we don't have to give in so easily."
At this moment, Jiang Nannan asked weakly, "What if we draw one-on-one or two, two, three?"
"Uh, well..." Ma Xiaotao suddenly didn't know what to say.
With the current strength of the reserve team, combined with Xia Linyuan's turret tactics, it may still be able to fight against the Zheng Tian Academy in a team battle, but if it is divided... let's forget it.
Again, the opponent is not stupid. Even if he can't beat him, he won't stick to Xia Linyuan's side.
In a one-on-one personal battle, no matter how strong Xia Linyuan is personally, he can't withstand the consumption of three Soul King, right? As long as Xia Linyuan comes off the field and there is one Soul King on the other side, they have no chance of winning.
Judging from the comprehensive strength of both sides, without a team fight, they would have no hope of winning.
The atmosphere was a little heavy for a moment, but no one broke the heavy atmosphere. They were all thinking about whether to fight or retreat in the next game.
"Perhaps... I have never been able to fight."
Xia Linyuan suddenly said such a sentence, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Linyuan, what do you think?" Tang Wulin asked.
Xia Linyuan said indifferently, "First of all, it is a one-on-one battle. I will probably replace the three Soul Kings for three, so you just need to make sure how to win the other party's remaining four Soul Ancestors."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
It's too scary to be able to replace three Soul King level experts on the opponent's side with one's own strength.
Jiang Nannan said without hesitation, "I can take advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness and use teleportation and Waist Bow to eliminate the opponent, or at least replace him with the next one."
Tang Wulin looked around, hesitated for a while, and then said, "I am also sure to change to the next one."
"Then, leave the remaining two to me." Gu Yuena said calmly, knowing what Xia Linyuan meant.
After hearing what Gu Yuena said, everyone couldn't help but look at her in surprise.
To say that among the seven of them, the one with the least presence is none other than Gu Yuena.
No matter in the original core disciple selection competition or in the subsequent friendly competition with Inner Court disciples, her performance was not very outstanding, and no one had a deep impression of her.
But now she suddenly stood up and said that she was sure to defeat the two Soul Ancestor level experts with her Soul Elder cultivation level. How could they not be surprised?
Regarding everyone's doubts, Gu Yuena didn't bother to explain, whether he believed it or not.
"I won't talk about the team battle. Let me talk about the second, second and third combination matches."
Xia Linyuan said indifferently, "After this morning's game, even a pig should be able to see that there is a big problem with our team, otherwise it would not be possible for the seven of us to play all the time."
"And after seeing our overall strength, the opponent will try their best to avoid fighting with me. Therefore, the main pressure comes on the other two groups besides me and my group."
"In the second, second and third combinations, there is one rule that is beneficial to us, and that is that the players on the field are random."
"Random means infinite possibilities. We are betting, they are betting, and we are all betting to see who can win in the end."
Xia Linyuan crossed his legs leisurely, with a playful curve at the corner of his mouth, and played with his white, slender fingers boredly, "Since we are all betting, why not bet a big one?"
Hearing this, everyone immediately became more energetic and listened carefully to what Xia Linyuan said next.
"They have three Soul King, which is their scoring point, and Shrek Academy has me, which is their losing point. Therefore, the pressure is put on the decisive game that determines the outcome of the entire game."
"After knowing our general strength, for the Zheng Tian Academy, the most conservative way to win is to split the three Soul King into three games."
"But with the Shrek Academy's reputation for cultivating monster students, the other party cannot guarantee whether there are still people like me among us."
"And this morning, the two Ten-Year Soul Ring of Huo Yuhao, and the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul of Wulin, together with her and Wang Dong Second Soul Ring are millennium-level. They have successfully built momentum and planted the seeds of doubt in their hearts."
"So, I bet on them, but I don't dare to bet."
"The first game is usually a test of each other's background, but it also determines the overall direction of the subsequent games. In their view, the strongest among us are me and Jiang Nannan, both of whom are at the Soul Ancestor level. And it is impossible for me to play in the first game, so the first one to play will definitely be the second strongest Jiang Nannan."
"They don't dare to bet, but they want to test the true strength of the rest of us. To be on the safe side, they will definitely not send out Soul King-level experts in the first game, but two Soul Ancestors. So we will definitely win the first game."
"In the first test, if they win, they will directly give up the three-on-three game and put all their efforts on the second game. On the contrary, if we win, we must give up the second game and set the deciding game in the third game."
"Similarly, they will definitely think that we will focus on the first two games, because even if we can fight across borders, others will not be able to defeat Soul King with the strength of Soul Elder."
"In their view, in order to win as conservatively as possible and hide the true strength of other teammates, I will definitely play after winning the first game."
"In order to tie the score, and on the premise that I will play, they will definitely send two Soul King level experts in the second game, and they will score this point no matter what."
"Even if they thought that I might give up the second game and put the decisive game in the third game, they would have to bite their teeth to swallow this dumb loss."
Ma Xiaotao asked, "Then how do you plan to arrange the players?"
"In the first two-on-two game, Gu Yuena and Ning Tian will play. In the second two-on-two game, it depends on who actually plays Zheng Tian Academy in the first game, but it is basically confirmed that senior Jiang Nannan and Wulin will play. In the last three-on-three game, I, Huo Yuhao, and Wang Dong will play."
"Aren't you afraid that the other party will guess our intentions and also focus on the third game?"
"So what." Xia Linyuan smiled slightly, his smile was extremely wanton, "As long as the other party doesn't arrange all three Soul Kings in the third three-on-three match, we will definitely win this match."
While they were intensively planning their strategy for the match against the Zheng Tian Academy, the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy conference room was also analyzing the strength of the reserve team.
"What do you think of the Shrek Academy game this morning, especially the fort tactics used by Xia Lin?" an old man asked.
Recalling that look at Xia Linyuan that day, Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but feel trembling. He took a deep breath and said, "I thought that my only opponent was myself, but now, I have to admit that I am not as good as Xia Linyuan."
Even Xiao Hongchen, who has always been arrogant and arrogant, had to admit that he was not as good as Xia Linyuan. Everyone present at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy's heart sank slightly.
"The advantages of the fort tactics are very obvious, and the shortcomings are equally obvious. We at the Sun Moon Empire have been working hard to overcome the lack of flexibility of the fort tactics for so many years, but we still have no clue. Unexpectedly, it was conquered by our enemies."
"It's a pity, it's a pity." The old man couldn't help but shook his head and said with regret, "Such a talent was not born in my Sun Moon Empire, but was born in the Star Luo Empire. He is simply a treasure in the ocean."
One of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy's main players couldn't help but ask, "Could this technology be Shrek Academy's latest research?"
"No." Xiao Hongchen shook his head, "In terms of research on Soul Tool, we Sun Moon Empire are hundreds of years ahead of the Douluo Continent, who originally belonged to the Three Kingdoms, and the same is true for the Shrek Academy. Since they are still in the initial stage of toddling around and imitating cats and tigers, it is absolutely impossible for them to conquer this technology."
"I don't know since when, every continent-wide senior Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament, Shrek Academy will be equipped with a Soul Engineer."
"And in the last continent-wide senior Soul Master Academy Among Soul Fighting Tournament, the Soul Engineer equipped by the Shrek Academy is still useless, and no one is even willing to cooperate with the Soul Engineer. This is enough to show that Shrek Academy is still an old-fashioned way of thinking, and they don't even bother to use Soul Tool, let alone study it vigorously. Under such circumstances, how could they overcome the shortcomings of the fort tactics in just five years?"
