Chapitre 325: Heart Separation Control’s Three Aperture Governing Heart (3)
As the first match of the first round of the qualifiers, Shrek Academy left a deep impression in the hearts of the audience. Even though the fight was very short, the burst power of the seven Shrek Academy members on stage, and their merciless attack, none failed to make the audiences' hearts flutter.
The strength they revealed made these spectators no longer dare underestimate this strangely dressed team. Showing two fortieth level Spirit Masters alone already made them the hot topic of the qualifying competition.
Today Flender didn't run forward on his own. Instead he was dressed in the same kind of uniform as the students, striding forward with his head high, a proud expression on his face.
Even though there weren't any jeers from the onlookers, the Shrek Academy team members still lowered their heads. Sure enough, they had used strength to tell everyone they weren't fishbellies. But now the words on their backs had changed.
As a result of Shrek Academy's perfect display in the first match, and further adding Flender's silver tongue, they successfully found sponsors. That was a business selling top quality flower nectar. Reportedly, half the flower nectar in the entire Heaven Dou Empire was produced by them.
Flower nectar was juice extracted from fresh flowers, and passing a certain mixing and compounding, it was put into the bath water, giving people the corresponding fragrance after bathing. It was a favorite of women, whether nobles or commoners, none had immunity to flower nectar. Of course, they purchased different grades.
By now the letters on the Shrek Academy team members' backs had become: Bottomless charm, wonderfully fragrant flower nectar, bathe healthier.
When seeing the new uniforms, the Shrek Seven Devils were all struck dumb, besides Ma Hongjun who was comparatively familiar with Flender, and had comforted everyone that at least his teacher hadn't found a chamberpot manufacturer. Otherwise, they wouldn't have needed go out.
The price for those 'wonderfully fragrant flower nectar' words was also rather attractive. One thousand gold spirit coins for one match, until the whole competition ended, through the qualifiers. When the promotion competition came the award would increase to two thousand gold spirit coins. If they could reach the final three, there was another fifty thousand gold spirit coins. Calculating it, if the Shrek Academy could take the championship, then they could also receive more than a hundred thousand gold spirit coins. Obtaining such income simply by having words like that on their backs made Flender quite satisfied. In order to make the Shrek Seven Devils wear the clothes, today he led by example.
If it was someone other than Flender, perhaps the Shrek Seven Devils wouldn't have agreed to wear it no matter what. But, they could never forget Flender's expression when he had to close the previous Shrek Academy because of financial problems. Therefore, despite the pain in their hearts, they still wore these more than extraordinary uniforms.
As they entered the Great Spirit Arena under the gazes of the spectators, this time they were greeted by two functionaries, bringing them to the competing teams' rest area.
Starting from yesterday, each day would have fourteen matches. Seeing the Shrek Academy's arrival, there were a lot of gazes from the other teams. The one who earned the most attention was no doubt Tang San with the ten thousand year spirit ring. The skill he had revealed indeed proved his peak skill. By now the words on the backs of the Shrek Academy uniforms had changed, but these Academies about to become their opponents didn't pay attention to that. What they cared about was how to defeat Shrek Academy.
"Dean, who are our opponents today?"
Dai Mubai asked Flender.
Flender looked distracted a moment, saying:
"How should I know? Is it me participating in the competition or you!"
He had spent these days finding advertisers, not just the present flower nectar shop, but he'd also discussed prices with several more, how could he have the time to pay attention to the competition.
Dai Mubai was speechless a moment,
"Sir, you can't only care about money. You should still have some concern for us."
Flender grinned, saying:
"Stinking brat, do you have a point?"
Seeing the monstrous expression in Flender's eyes, Dai Mubai shivered, and hastily shook his head:
"No, none."
Flender smiled:
"Even if I'm the dean, I still delegate the work. Don't worry, Erlong has been observing your opponents. She'll give you a detailed rundown of your opponents later. I must remind you, if you can't obtain the championship, I won't let you graduate.
As he spoke, Grandmaster and Liu Erlong came walking over together. They hadn't followed Flender's example, and both wore their own clothes.
Grandmaster and Liu Erlong's expressions seemed somewhat strange, and the Shrek Seven Devils could read a serious mood from their faces. Could it be that they would actually meet trouble in the qualifiers?
Seeing everyone's attentive gazes, Grandmaster spoke in a low voice:
"Your opponents for the second round of the qualifiers are very powerful. You have three options right now. The first is to give up on this match, preserving your strength. After all, in the qualifiers, the five teams with the most points can enter the finals. Second, is to go up with the formation from the first fight, but you won't have even one percent chance of victory. Third, is bringing out your full force, but even if you can win, your full strength will certainly have been exposed."
The Shrek Seven Devils all looked at each other. They couldn't understand just what kind of opponent could make Grandmaster put on such a serious face. Could this opponent even compare to the Emperor Team?
To the side Liu Erlong said:
"You've all heard of the Elephant Armored School. Ranked the sixth of the seven great schools. Your opponents today come from the Elephant Armored Academy run by them. The seven members on the other side are all directly related disciples of the Elephant Armored School. Three of them have reached the fortieth rank, the other four also have close to fortieth ranked strength. You might say it's the elite of the Elephant Armored School's young generation."
Elephant Armored School? Hearing these three words, the Shrek Seven Devils couldn't help having serious expressions. They were very clear on what these words represented. Just like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was named the most powerful support school, the Elephant Armored School had their own title: the most powerful defensive school.
The Elephant Armored School's hereditary spirit was the Diamond Mammoth, a super spirit with extremely high defense, its attributes mainly embodying strength and defense. Of equal level spirits, practically no Spirit Master could breach their defense. If it wasn't for their lack of a Title Douluo, perhaps their ranking among the seven great schools wouldn't have been merely sixth.
Despite this, the Elephant Armored School master, an eighty seventh ranked Spirit Douluo, could rely on his tyrannical defense to stiffly block the attacks of Title Douluo that weren't offensively focused. It clearly showed the power of their spirit.
Hearing Grandmaster's words, everyone sunk into contemplation.
Grandmaster continued:
"If it was in a spacious battle, perhaps your first formation would still have a chance, the Elephant Armored School's worst area is speed, relying on movement to exhaust the enemy's spirit power is a good choice. But with the size of the competition stage, you practically won't stand a chance. Even though the opponents don't have a Support Spirit Master, because they all have identical spirits, their overlaying might is astonishing. From a theoretical standpoint, in order to gain the final victory, I advise you to give up this match. After all, you're safe as long as you're in the top five in the qualifiers. There's nothing improper about hiding your strength in the early stage."
Flender shrieked,
"If you avoid battle, I'll fucking..."
Liu Erlong unhappily glared at him,
"Boss Fu, I can see the coins in your eyes. You have to look at it long term. Just in case the little monsters are seriously hurt in this fight, later matches will be even harder to handle. There are a lot of talents among the advanced Spirit Master academies. Don't forget that their opponents are up to twenty five years old. If they were twenty five as well, then of course there wouldn't be any question, but their strength development is restricted by their age."
Flender looked at Dai Mubai and Tang San with a bitter face,
"Decide on your own."
Dai Mubai and Tang San looked at each other, but neither made a sound. To the side Ma Hongjun couldn't help saying:
"If we all appear on stage, what does it matter if others learn of our strength?"
Oscar said:
"Of course it's no good if we let others see our strength beforehand. That way the opponents can come up with tactics against us. Perhaps these qualifiers don't matter, but don't forget that we'll face even more powerful opponents in the promotion competition and the finals. Losing the element of surprise would be disadvantageous to us."
Dai Mubai asked Tang San:
"Little San, what do you think? You're the soul of the team, the main director. It's your decision."
Faint radiance flashed through Tang San's eyes, tightly clenching both fists,
"Fight."
Even though his reply was just one simple word, this word simultaneously roused the spirits of all the Shrek Academy people, an intense fighting spirit pervaded the air around Tang San.
Tang San's gaze turned to Grandmaster who was watching him intently,
"Teacher, I understand the three options you raised. But I think there's still a way to compromise. We admittedly want to obtain the final victory in the competition, but at the same time we also want to practice our live combat capability and adaptability. If we shrink back when faced with a powerful opponent, there would be a large influence on morale. Therefore, I think it would be better to take a middle route. Adjusting the members going up, without exposing our entire hidden strength, but also bringing enough strength to defeat the opponents."
