The score currently stood at a three-to-three tie, and the two captains were fighting the ultimate showdown in the seventh round!
But regardless of who won or lost, both teams were destined to struggle to participate in the next round of the tournament. With barely any fighting strength left, what could they possibly bring to their later matches?
So what were they supposed to do next?
Phoenix City Second High School, Zuo Xiaoduo's team, had drawn a bye and preserved its strength intact. It could be said with absolute certainty that no matter which of the ten teams it faced, Phoenix City Second High School was guaranteed to win-every single defeated team had been battered into wreckage, with at most ten or twenty percent of its full strength remaining!
In other words, Zuo Xiaoduo's team would only have to go through the motions!
"What do we do?"
The High Martial teachers were all suffering quite a headache over the situation.
If they rested for a day before fighting again, that would clearly be unfair to Phoenix City Second High School. They had drawn their bye fair and square, not by cheating!
After all, luck had always been a part of strength!
Did they really have to use time to wear away someone else's advantage?
Then what would have been the point of drawing a bye?
"Once the last two teams finish fighting... give them four hours to rest! The second match starts at three this afternoon!"
"All right."
"Call over Phoenix City's two supervising teachers and their team members. Talk things through with them and hope they can understand."
"All right."
After all, even an extra four hours of rest was still unfair to the team with the bye.
With sufficient resources, four hours would be enough for the competitors
