After this victory, there will be a relatively long rest period, which is to say, a time for preparation. The intensity of this battle was far lower than Huo Yuhao expected; they surrendered directly, leaving the preparations Huo Yuhao had made with nowhere to be used.
It is impossible that they only prepared these two axes and had nothing left after two attacks. That would be too extreme. The reason they didn't use more is that no one has been able to withstand their routine, but Huo Yuhao has a premonition that he definitely has the ability to resolve the tactics of Dai Huabin and his team, which is the rumored martial soul fusion skill.
There are two tactical directions now: one is to take them out before they fuse, and the other is to drag it out. Their strength is too weak, and they are fundamentally unable to control such power, which means their duration will definitely not be long. But can they hold on? Even if one hasn't seen the power of a martial soul fusion skill, one has heard of it.
At that moment, it will bring a qualitative change in power, and it is quite possible to span two soul ring levels. A combination of two-ring soul masters can unleash the power of a four-ring soul sect. At this time, even Bei Bei would have to avoid its edge. Practice has proven that the two of them have no way to resist Bei Bei's attack, so naturally, they have no way to stop the Nether White Tiger during the fusion.
As for whether there is a chance to interrupt it, that is a question. Mental attacks can theoretically interrupt it, but Huo Yuhao has never tested it on the competition field. Therefore, they have confidence; it is best to prepare in advance. Making more plans is certainly good, as it prevents one from being flustered when dealing with variables.
Although some of these plans will certainly be useless, or even all of them, your opponent will not act according to your wishes, and may even move in the direction you least want. And this is Huo Yuhao's biggest problem. Right now, his skills are too few—yes, too few. His mental skills only cover two types: attack and protection.
Even if you are a genius, you cannot escape his essence. You can only coordinate with Xiao Xiao's attacks for now, and Xiao Xiao is also a two-ring master without sufficient offensive skills. This has resulted in a current lack of tactics; they are somewhat dangerous when encountering teams with offensive capabilities. The only way to deal with this problem is to return to the essence: soul power level.
That goes without saying; the current situation is just like this, unless others are added to make the team flexible.
Huo Yuhao let out a breath, thinking to himself that he would take it one step at a time. If they have to admit defeat to find an opportunity to win, what is there to be afraid of? Facing difficulties is the best attitude to handle problems. As for sometimes being chased around the field by others, that is another matter; that is tactics.
If you can't beat them, you can't beat them; you cannot use your weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths. It is like that. Thus, Huo Yuhao learned self-consolation, which is also a part of the essence of being shameless.
The competition is still ongoing, and the loser's bracket has not yet determined its winner. This is a great time to observe the enemy, as everyone above has a chance to enter the finals. Even if Huo Yuhao is certain that Dai Huabin and his team will definitely fight their way back, that is not a certainty. Shrek is full of hidden talents, and someone might just make them flip over.
However, Huo Yuhao's worries disappeared. With their coordination and synergy, even with some twists and turns, they won their ticket to the finals. But this was also because everyone hadn't used their full strength; there was no need for some people to risk their lives for a grade championship. They don't lack this, and those like Dai Huabin who risk their lives are definitely in the minority, more commonly seen among the commoner groups.
They are relatively short on money and opportunities, and such things only happen a few times in a person's life, so they must grasp them well and exert their full strength.
This news was told to them by Zhou Yi, because they didn't go to watch the match, as watching it would be useless. If it were Dai Huabin and his team in the finals, they would definitely use different tactics. Observing them now would only lead to being misled and restricted to the framework they give you. Responding to all changes with stillness is the best way to handle it.
Recently, Huo Yuhao has been considering his own soul ring problem. Originally, he trusted these people in his mind very much, but their behavior was a bit too erratic, making him question their arrangements. So, for his own peace of mind, he started self-studying, considering the soul beasts for his own soul rings. However, there are too few mental-type soul beasts.
The only one on record is in the soul beast gathering place of the Sun Moon Empire. But there is no time; if he goes to the Far North and then to the Sun Moon Empire, he won't make it. But Huo Yuhao did it anyway; it is a normal behavior for people to find something to do when they lack a sense of security.
What's more, he can't contact Wang Yi and Tian Meng right now. They said they had something to do and ran off. Who knew two mental entities could have so much enthusiasm and plans, and not even tell Huo Yuhao, acting all mysterious? At first, Tian Meng didn't seem to intend to join, but Wang Yi seemed to have persuaded him. Huo Yuhao estimates that this plan is not far from being fully revealed to him.
The highly anticipated finals have arrived. This is the matter of most concern at this stage of the grade, and other grades are also holding similar competitions. Most of the Shrek Seven Devils are in them, though some cannot perform due to special abilities and will only have an ultimate effect when in a large team. At that time, there will be seven devils who are not champions.
Although there has already been one win and one loss, everyone can see that one side did not use their full strength at all, so this match still has many suspenseful elements. It won't be without any waves, ending in a crushing defeat; that would be boring. Large-scale fan groups haven't formed yet.
So most are just here for the fun of it, and after this match, there should be fans. The further it goes, the more there will be. Like Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, they already have their own fans, although they might not necessarily want this in their hearts.
Amidst the cheers, both sides stepped onto the competition stage. After a dull wait, the match began.
Both sides revealed their martial souls and soul rings, and for a moment, everyone was shocked. A purple soul ring appeared—a three-ring soul master! It appeared in the first grade. Even Bei Bei and the others didn't break through to the third ring at this stage, because forcing growth is not good for future development. These geniuses don't need to take the risk to improve themselves.
Losing one's future for the sake of face is too much. Those who didn't know thought a genius had emerged, but those who knew the inside story shook their heads; this person will find it difficult to have any actions that shock the continent in the future.
Huo Yuhao was also shocked. Regardless of the future, he must face a soul master now, and a strong attack-type soul master at that. Coupled with the martial soul fusion skill, their current win rate against Bei Bei is very low. Once he reaches the fourth ring, he will have a chance.
Now he can only strike first. Even if he is a three-ring master, as long as he takes a full set of attacks, he will have to go down; even Xu Sanshi wouldn't be able to handle it. But the opponent didn't give Huo Yuhao this chance and went straight to fusion.
The Nether White Tiger appears.
