Nine People, Only Seven Spots

The first day of the pre -Soul Master Tournament training camp.

Imperial Fighting Team Training Ground.

Nine name tags were neatly hung on the tactical wall.

Yu Tianheng.

Dugu Yan.

Ye Lingling.

Yu Feng.

Osler.

Shi Mo.

Shi Mo.

Dong Jian.

Li Man.

All nine people stood in front of the wall.

No one is training.

No one released their Martial Soul.

Qin Ming was only below the nine nameplates.

Mark out seven positions.

"The Soul Master Tournament officially begins team battles."

Only seven players can be on the field at any one time.

Yu Feng glanced around.

"We already knew that."

"Knowing is one thing."

Qin Ming said:

"Truly sitting in the audience."

"That's another matter."

He picked up the first name tag.

Yu Tianheng.

Place it in the seven-person area.

The second piece.

Dugu Yan.

The third piece.

Ye Lingling.

Shi Mo.

Shi Mo.

Yu Feng.

Osler.

All seven name tags fell to the ground.

There are two pieces remaining outside the wall.

Dong Jian.

Li Man.

The training ground suddenly fell silent.

Yu Feng was the first to turn his head.

"Neither of them are going?"

Li Man did not respond.

Dong Jian was also just looking at the tactics wall.

Qin Ming said:

"Is there a problem?"

"This is a big problem."

The Yu Feng seemed to be directed towards the wall.

"Dong Jian is currently the strongest in direct confrontation."

"Li Man has the strongest control."

"The competition has finally arrived."

How could the two of them sit together?

Why is it impossible?

Qin Ming countered with a question.

Yu Feng opened his mouth.

For a moment, I couldn't find a direct reason.

Because it's strong.

Therefore, we should go for it.

It seems like a matter of course.

However, the rules of the Soul Master Tournament.

There is no rule that the seven strongest players will necessarily form the strongest lineup.

Qin Ming looked at everyone.

"Starting today."

"Cancel permanent main force."

"Cancel the fixed substitute system."

All nine players have rejoined the lineup.

There are five assessment items in total.

He wrote five lines on the tactics board.

Single-player ability.

Teamwork.

Formation adaptation.

Regarding value.

On-the-spot decision-making.

"Soul Power Level is only one part of it."

"If a match requires two defenders."

"Bring both Shi Mo and Shi Mo."

"If a high-speed pursuit is required."

"Yu Feng and Osler may both appear on the field at the same time."

"If the opponent completely controls the ground."

"Dong Jian might also be sitting in the bench."

Yu Feng then looked at Li Man.

"And what about her?"

"Same."

Qin Ming said:

"If the opponent can destroy the plant's core over a large area."

"Or the playing field is not suitable for setting up the formation."

"Li Man might not participate either."

No one spoke.

This time.

Dong Jian did not refute this.

A few days ago, Simulation an ice surface environment with the Skywater Academy.

The Yin-Yang Mountain Domain has proven to be effective not in all terrains.

The fourth ring is very strong.

However, this does not mean that every battlefield must revolve around it.

The Divine Dragon Secret Realm unfolded spontaneously deep within consciousness.

Nine points of light, representing the members of the Imperial Fighting Team, appeared.

Different combinations of seven people were constantly arranged.

Dong Jian did not actively deduce the results.

The secret realm still lists dozens of combinations based on the data it already possesses.

However, no single highest rating was achieved.

"Insufficient combat data available."

"Under different opponent conditions."

The optimal lineup has changed.

No optimal seven-person structure was found.

Dong Jian closed the notification.

at this point.

The Divine Dragon Secret Realm aligns with Qin Ming's assessment.

Nine people.

There is no single answer that can defeat all opponents.

Qin Ming turned around.

"First round of assessment."

"It's not Soul Fighting."

"It's a formation recovery."

The seven name tags that have already entered the tactical area will not change.

In other words...

First round appearance:

Yu Tianheng.

Dugu Yan.

Ye Lingling.

Yu Feng.

Osler.

Shi Mo.

Shi Mo.

Dong Jian and Li Man were both off the court.

Yu Feng frowned.

"No Control System?"

"Isn't it Dugu Yan?"

Qin Ming asked.

Yu Feng immediately glanced at Dugu Yan.

"I did not mean that."

Dugu Yan sneered.

It's best not to.

Qin Ming did not let them continue.

The training ground was divided into five areas in advance.

central.

Forward area.

Left and right flanks.

Backcourt.

A white flag was planted in each area.

The task for the seven people was simple.

"A quarter of an hour."

"Protect the five flags."

I will keep disrupting your positions.

"At least three sides must be preserved in the end."

Shi Mo asked:

"The teacher attacked personally?"

"Just break the formation."

Qin Ming said:

"Don't knock anyone down."

"You don't need to defeat me."

"The sole objective."

"After the formation was disrupted."

"Reconnect."

Yu Tianheng moved his shoulders.

"Clear."

Seven people entered the venue.

The most familiar Imperial Fighting Team basic formation quickly appeared.

Shi Mo and Shi Mo are placed at the front.

Yu Tianheng down behind the two turtles.

Dugu Yan in the middle of the game.

Behind Ye Lingling.

Rising into the Yu Feng.

Osler was hidden on the flank.

There was no bamboo array Li Man's.

The formation, on the contrary, appears more direct.

"Start."

Qin Ming stomped his foot.

No powerful Soul Skill were used.

He instantly entered the left side at the speed of Soul King.

The palm strike landed on the edge of the Shi Mo tortoise shell.

Not strong.

But this caused the Shi Mo to move two steps to the side.

Originally, it formed a double-turtle defense line with Shi Mo.

A gap appeared.

Yu Tianheng immediately filled in the missing part.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon blocked the center with its right arm.

"Shi Mo back in place!"

This was the captain's most direct assessment.

The Shi Mo turned inward again.

Shi Mo combination.

The first round resumed quickly.

Qin Ming did not stop.

The second cut is made from the other side.

This time, the target is not the two turtles.

It was Dugu Yan.

He didn't actually attack.

He used only his Soul Power to force her to move to the right.

Dugu Yan wanted to maintain distance from the poisonous area.

Instinctively, I retreated.

Ye Lingling happened to be right behind her.

The two people's routes overlapped.

"Lingling, move to the left!"

Yu Tianheng gave another order.

Ye Lingling changed direction.

But she had only taken two steps.

Yu Feng descended from the sky, carried by the wind.

"Osler's right side is missing!"

Everyone looked to the right at the same time.

Osler was trying to intercept the fake breakthrough route left by Qin Ming.

It has deviated from its original position.

The white flag on the right is fully exposed.

Yu Tianheng must make a choice.

Protect Ye Lingling.

Let's replace the flag on the right side.

"Shi Mo, turn right!"

Shi Mo abandoned the central government.

The Black Tortoise moved swiftly.

They successfully blocked the white flag.

Keep the flag.

However, the central government lost one of its tortoise shells as a result.

Qin Ming passed through from the front.

He gently patted the white flag in the center.

The flag fell.

The first line of defense was lost.

"Continue."

There was no pause.

They did not reposition themselves.

The Imperial Fighting Team must recover from the current chaos.

Yu Tianheng rushed towards the center.

The Shi Mo followed.

Shi Mo returned from the right.

Dugu Yan prepared to redeploy the poison.

Ye Lingling moved to a safe location.

Everyone knows what they are supposed to do.

But a problem arose.

Everyone is reclaiming their place.

But no one confirmed it.

Have the others taken over?

When the Shi Mo returns to the center.

Yu Tianheng continued forward.

The two were too far apart.

The poisonous fog of Dugu Yan had just been spread.

Osler, however, crossed the edge of the toxic zone.

We had to change our route at the last minute.

Yu Feng wanted to create an opening in the air for Osler.

But they discovered that Shi Mo had already occupied that direction.

In an instant.

All seven people are moving.

No one stopped.

The entire formation resembled seven puzzle pieces, each returning to its original position.

They appear to be close.

The actual joints were full of gaps.

Dong Jian stood outside the court.

The Yin-Yang Mountain Domain has not been activated.

He only looks at everyone's center of gravity.

Yu Tianheng is moving forward.

The direction of the force is most clearly defined.

The Shi Brothers, however, still wanted to restore the defensive line.

The two intentions are inconsistent.

Dugu Yan is preparing to take control of the central government.

Yu Feng and Osler, however, wanted to first recover the lost flank.

Each person's judgment, taken individually, is not wrong.

Put them together.

But there was no next step.

Qin Ming made his third move.

We simply passed through the center quickly.

No one was attacked.

The location he passed by.

It was precisely the point where the power of the seven people was most weak.

The second white flag fell.

They landed on the Yu Feng.

"Etc!"

Qin Ming, however, did not wait.

The fourth round continues.

This time, the Shi Brothers were no longer in a hurry to return to their original positions.

Yu Tianheng said directly:

"Follow me forward!"

The two formed a temporary triangle.

The situation has finally stabilized.

Dugu Yan contracted the poison field.

Ye Lingling approached the three of them.

The four of them reunited.

Yu Feng and Osler were assigned to guard the left and right flanks respectively.

It looks even better than before.

Until Qin Ming deliberately feinted from the left.

Yu Feng chased after him.

Osler believes the real target is on the right.

They also left at the same time.

The seven people were then divided into three groups.

Four people ahead.

Yu Feng on the left.

Osler on the right.

Who is responsible for getting the flank back in place?

Yu Tianheng can give the order.

However, it is also necessary to maintain a positive outlook at the same time.

Dugu Yan can seal off an area.

However, they had no idea where the two agile attackers planned to return from next.

The Shi Brothers are better at protecting their immediate surroundings.

Ye Lingling, however, cannot take on the tactical shift.

"Yu Feng, come back!"

Yu Tianheng shouted.

Yu Feng heard it.

Turn around immediately.

Qin Ming, however, had already changed direction.

Once Yu Feng returns...

The left side is completely empty.

Don't go back!

Dugu Yan said at the same time.

The two orders almost overlapped.

Yu Feng paused for a moment in mid-air.

It was in that very moment.

Qin Ming passed by from the left.

The third white flag fell.

The fifteen minutes were not yet over.

Three of the five flags have been lost.

The assessment was unsuccessful.

Qin Ming finally stopped.

No one was injured at the training ground.

The consumption of Soul Power was not even considered huge.

Everyone's expression was grim.

Because their loss was so strange.

Qin Ming did not launch a direct attack.

No Soul Skill was used to suppress it.

They didn't even really defeat anyone.

He just keeps creating:

dislocation.

gap.

Temporary change.

The Imperial Fighting Team then lost its connection.

Yu Tianheng was the first to speak.

"It's my problem."

"I issued two conflict commands."

"Not entirely."

Dugu Yan said:

"The second time was because my judgment differed from yours."

Yu Feng descended from the sky, carried by the wind.

"Then whose advice should I listen to?"

No one answered immediately.

Yu Tianheng is the team leader.

Under normal circumstances.

Of course I'll listen to him.

But Dugu Yan is Control System.

When the toxic environment changes.

She knew better than Yu Tianheng which route was safe.

If you always only listen to the team leader.

On-the-spot judgment can actually slow things down.

Osler said:

"We are not without leadership."

"Everyone knows what they should do."

"Then everything fell apart."

This sentence silenced everyone.

Li Man stood outside the court.

I watched for about fifteen minutes.

Finally, he said:

"What you're lacking isn't orders."

Yu Feng asked:

What is that?

"Who will take over next?"

Li Man pointed to the center position from before.

"Yu Tianheng led the Shi Brothers forward."

"This section is fine."

"Dugu Yan collects the poison."

Ye Lingling approached.

"No problem."

"What's truly broken is..."

"After Yu Feng left the left wing."

He didn't give his power to anyone.

"Osler is ready to cover the right flank."

But nobody told him.

The gap on the left is already more dangerous than the one on the right.

Everyone completed their assigned task.

However, the transfer of power was not completed.

Qin Ming looked at Dong Jian.

What do you think?

Dong Jian remained silent for a moment.

Yu Tianheng has decided where to charge.

"If Li Man were present."

"It can decide where we can go."

He looked at the five areas on the ground that had been disrupted.

"But just now..."

"No one is in charge of watching over it."

"After the previous person finishes their action."

Where should the next source of strength come from?

Qin Ming asked:

"If you were there."

"Can you do it?"

Dong Jian did not directly say yes.

"Not necessarily now."

"But I can see."

The center of gravity after each of Yu Tianheng's charges.

The empty space left by the impact on the Shi Brothers.

The direction from which the Yu Feng carries us.

Before Osler accelerates, in which direction will his body first lean?

These.

These are all things that can be judged by Force Observation.

The Yin-Yang Mountain Domain can replenish ground landing points.

Dong Jian had always used them to identify the enemy.

Now I've suddenly discovered it.

You can also judge your teammates this way.

It's not about deciding on Soul Skill for your teammates.

Instead, see clearly:

Whose power is fading?

Whose power is beginning?

Qin Ming walked to the tactical wall.

Dong Jian's name tag wasn't placed directly in the seven-person area.

Instead, it was placed alone in the center of the seven positions.

"So, the second phase."

"Dong Jian is no longer only assessing direct combat ability."

Dong Jian looked up.

Qin Ming said:

I want to see if you can even stand here.

He pointed to the very center of the formation.

Not at the very front.

"It's not the end."

"It is a place where all forces pass through."

Yu Tianheng looked at Dong Jian's name tag.

They did not express any dissatisfaction.

He walked up to the tactical wall.

I moved my name tag forward one space.

"If I were in charge of breaking through."

He looked at Dong Jian.

"You're responsible for making sure the next person can continue?"

Dong Jian thought for a moment.

"You can try."

"You're telling me to take your orders?"

"No."

Dong Jian said:

"You're still the captain."

I'm just telling you.

"Which force is about to break?"

Yu Tianheng nodded.

"Then let's try it."

There was no core conflict between the two.

Not at least not now.

The team leader is responsible for deciding the direction.

This does not mean that one person must bear all the changes.

Qin Ming looked at Li Man.

"And you?"

Li Man placed her name tag behind and to the Dong Jian.

"I'm still responsible for making way."

In a simple sentence.

For the first time, the three nameplates formed a clear structure.

Yu Tianheng.

Sharpness.

Dong Jian.

axis.

Li Man.

net.

This name has not yet actually appeared.

However, it already has an initial outline.

Yu Feng glanced at the tactical wall.

"Shall we try it tomorrow?"

"No."

Qin Ming said.

Formation assessment will be suspended tomorrow.

Everyone was taken aback.

Qin Ming removed Yu Tianheng's name tag.

There's something that's been dragging on for far too long.

Yu Tianheng has reached level 40.

The remaining medicinal properties of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

It has remained inside the body ever since.

But even now.

He still only has three Soul Ring.

For Dugu Yan's treatment.

Distribution of the Immortal Herb.

Dong Jian and Li Man made breakthroughs.

The fourth ring of ten thousand years.

Too many changes occurred throughout the entire Imperial Fighting Team.

The captain's own Fourth Soul Ring.

Instead, it has never been truly made up for.

Qin Ming said:

"We'll enter Sunset Forest the day after tomorrow."

"To acquire the Fourth Soul Ring for Yu Tianheng."

Yu Feng's eyes lit up.

"It's finally the captain's turn."

Yu Tianheng stretched his right arm, which had been strengthened by the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

A flash of blue-purple lightning streaked across his fingertips.

He looked at Dong Jian.

"Wait for me to come back."

"Try this middle position again."

Dong Jian nodded.

"Good."

The Divine Dragon Secret Realm unfolds anew in my consciousness.

On the tactical wall.

Nine points of light are arranged in a row.

past.

Dong Jian is always in the front position.

Because he is best at withstanding direct impact.

Now.

For the first time, his spot of light was placed in the center of the entire formation.

No new skills were introduced.

No new cultivation methods have emerged.

There's only one simple message.

"His role has changed."

Insufficient available combat records.

Recommendation: Observe the process of teammates passing the weight.

Dong Jian stared at it for a long time.

Ultimately, no further simulations were conducted.

He closed the secret realm.

The real answer.

Not in the gray-white Simulation space.

And the next time all seven people move at the same time.

Nine people.

There are only seven positions.

But an individual's value within a team.

It never depends solely on...

Was he standing at the very front?
