Douluo: The True Eye

After Xuan Zi left, with the help of the flying soul device, the Shrek Academy students finally arrived at Xingluo City, the venue for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, in the evening.

Following the flow of people, they walked past the city wall, which was a hundred meters high and a hundred meters thick. It looked quite domineering and majestic, but for true high-level soul masters, it was just for show, with no real protective value, purely to show the country's strength and historical heritage. After passing through the city wall, the group entered Xingluo City.

Due to the approaching Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, the flow of people in Xingluo City has reached over ten million during this period.

For Xingluo City, which is just a city, even if it is the capital of a country, such a flow of people is still a bit crowded.

Moreover, due to the sudden increase in the flow of people, the original regulatory power of Xingluo City has reached its limit. Even if troops are transferred from other regions, it is only a struggle to maintain stability on the surface.

And in the dark side of the city, people from other countries and forces naturally lurk and breed. These outsiders with different ideas gather here during the largest event on the continent.

The ace academies belonging to the original Douluo Continent will not directly start a confrontation with Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy in the early stages of the competition.

Under the leadership of Wang Yan, Huo Yuhao and his party first came to the vicinity of Xingluo Square. This huge square can accommodate all the participants in this competition and is enough to support a large number of spectators.

Due to the importance attached to this competition, one-third of the city's garrison force has been transferred here, patrolling here day and night in these few days to prevent anyone from deliberately sabotaging the competition.

There are also many Title Douluo powerhouses hidden in the vicinity. It can be said that this is the safest place in Xingluo City now, without exception. Even the imperial city where the Xingluo Emperor himself lives is not as important as this place.

However, since the competition has not yet started, for the sake of fairness, the Shrek people and the participants from other academies can only watch the competition venue from afar outside the square and cannot enter it for on-the-spot investigation.

As for Ma Xiaotao and the other members of the main team, although they had participated in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition five years ago, because of the rotation of each session, the previous competition was not held in Xingluo City.

Therefore, they are also quite unfamiliar with this competition venue. That's why they came here first under the leadership of Wang Yan to scout and survey the area, and also to observe the other opponents participating in the competition.

Because in addition to the Shrek group, there are also many teams from other academies and countries outside the square, all coming with the same purpose as the Shrek people.

Among the other academies and teams, the uneven strength of the students also made Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, who originally felt a little pressured in the Shrek Academy reserve team, breathe a sigh of relief.

Xu Sanshi said with a smile at this time: "Hey, I thought it would be very difficult. I see that the soul power intensity of the main players of most teams is about the same as mine, and some are even not as strong as me."

"Maybe this time, without the help of the seniors, Bei Bei and I can sweep the previous rounds with three punches and two kicks."

Bei Bei said with a look of disgust: "Go, go, go, don't involve me. We haven't even started fighting yet, why are you already celebrating in advance? Be careful of capsizing at that time, and you will lose all your face."

"Hehe, I'm not afraid. Even if we really capsize, don't I still have you with me? Let's lose face together." Xu Sanshi put his arm around Bei Bei's shoulder and said cheaply: "After all, we are a team."

Because Dai Yueheng died unexpectedly, and Ma Xiaotao's character is not suitable for leading the team at this time, Wang Yan gave the position of captain of the main team to Gongyang Mo, the strongest auxiliary soul master left in the main team.

Gongyang Mo's somewhat feminine voice sounded, and he smiled slightly: "Okay, two junior brothers, stop arguing."

After stopping Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, who were still arguing with each other, this series of jokes can be regarded as reducing some of the haze that originally enveloped the Shrek Academy people's hearts due to the failure of the mission.

"Okay, there is nothing special about the venue for this competition. There are no more unpopular simulation venues. In that case, let's go back to the hotel first. Everyone should take a good rest after returning."

"After dinner, we will have a pre-war meeting." Wang Yan said to the slightly relaxed crowd.

After this on-the-spot investigation, the big stone hanging in Wang Yan's heart at this time also fell slightly.

Although he has not seen the main participating teams of the four major empires this time, at least he did not see any dark horses existing among these more common teams.

The strength of the members in most academies is only three rings, and some of the more outstanding ones have four rings, but there are very few five rings, let alone six-ring Soul Emperors.

Although the results of this observation are not absolute, it also made Wang Yan, who was originally tense because he undertook the task of leading the team in this competition, feel a little relaxed. After all, the current Shrek main team still has a luxurious lineup of one Soul Emperor and four Soul Kings.

With the addition of Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan, who are Soul Sects, the substitute players are actually enough.

Not long after, the group returned to the hotel where they were staying for the competition.

The hotel specially used to receive the participants of the advanced soul master academy teams from various countries in this competition is a hotel belonging to the Xingluo Empire's royal family, named Xinghuang, with a total of seven floors, and each floor is quite luxurious.

At the same time, the facilities in it are also readily available, and the standards of various meals and accommodation are quite high. As the defending champion and the number one soul master academy on the mainland, the rooms of the Shrek people are located in the most luxurious rooms on the top floor of the Xingluo Empire.

In addition to Shrek Academy, only the top academies of the four major empires can enjoy such treatment.

After enjoying the luxurious dinner here, and traveling all the way using flying soul tools, coupled with the previous consumption, everyone's condition was not very good. Therefore, after dinner, everyone spent some time adjusting their state through meditation.

Afterward, Wang Yan led the group to the conference room allocated to Shrek Academy by the Star Luo Empire to discuss the upcoming tactics and preparations for the competition.

Standing up, Wang Yan looked at everyone present and smiled slightly: "I have great confidence in this competition. I believe that with the abilities of everyone present, we can continue the glory of our Shrek Academy."

"Although we have indeed suffered some losses, it does not mean that our enemies have become stronger. Based on today's observation, very few of the participating players can reach the Soul King level, let alone Soul Emperor powerhouses."

"At least before the淘汰赛 (táotàisài - knockout stage), I believe that our academy will not encounter those strongest teams. In that case, in order to hide the strength of the main team members, and also to buy time for the injured members of the main team to recover."

Wang Yan then looked at Bei Bei, paused, and then said: "Bei Bei, as the captain of the reserve team, I hope that you and your reserve team will play in the early stages of this knockout stage and win as many victories as possible."

"As for the reserve team members' appearances, personnel allocation, and tactical arrangements, I will use it as a test for this competition, and you will be fully responsible for it."

Hearing this, Bei Bei was first surprised, and then immediately nodded and replied: "Okay, Teacher Wang, but if the opponent has a Soul King level powerhouse or above . . ."

Wang Yan waved his hand: "I have confidence in your strength. You are all students from Shrek Academy. You must know that the best soul ring configuration is not something every academy can equip for its students."

"Is it easy to hunt millennial soul beasts? Most advanced soul master academies, their teachers may not even have the cultivation of a Soul King. In that case, their soul ring configuration will naturally not be very strong, and naturally cannot compare with you."

"Moreover, letting you play in the competition does not mean that you must defeat all opponents. If there is a situation where the strength exceeds the standard, I will definitely be responsible for allocating main team members to solve it."

"So, the task for your competition this year is to accumulate as much experience as possible and hone yourselves, in preparation for the next All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition."

Hearing this, Bei Bei also relaxed a little, nodded, and replied with a smile: "Yes, I guarantee to complete the task."

At this time, Gongyang Mo frowned and asked softly: "Then Teacher Wang, does the academy have any other news?"

"If it's tomorrow, the registration process will be over. If we only have five members in the main team, didn't the academy ask Elder Xuan to bring other reinforcements?"

The smile on Wang Yan's face froze, but he still shook his head and continued: "The academy has already contacted me. According to the academy's intention, when the main team needs to participate in team battles, Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi will be responsible for supplementing the personnel shortage."

"With their strength and soul ring configuration, although they have not cooperated with you many times, their combat experience can definitely support the team battle, and is fully sufficient to improve and complete the structure of a team."

Hearing this, Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei were both stunned. Xu Sanshi even pointed to himself: "Ah? Me?"

Wang Yan nodded, and also saw the concerns of the two, and still comforted them and said: "Rest assured, with your strength, you are already at the level of the main players of other teams. You only need to control the timing during the battle and assist the other members of the main team."

"I believe that for you, who are already fifth-grade students, it should not be difficult to do this."

Gongyang Mo also nodded, as the acting captain, he recognized the strength of the two.

Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei then breathed a sigh of relief, calming their emotions.

Then Wang Yan continued: "Then that's all I have to say. Bei Bei, the next time will be handed over to you to arrange. The main team members can go back to rest first. Recovering from your injuries as soon as possible is the best help for the next game."

Hearing this, the main team members, except for Ma Xiaotao, stood up and left here. However, Ma Xiaotao did not follow Wang Yan's arrangement and continued to sit in her seat, looking at the others without saying a word.

After all, according to her current personality and status, it is normal to ignore Wang Yan's instructions, whose strength and status are below her.

Seeing this situation, Wang Yan didn't say much. After all, he can't command Ma Xiaotao now, and Ma Xiaotao is the only remaining trump card in the Shrek Academy team, so he has to be careful and can only let her do as she pleases.

Bei Bei cleared his throat, and after looking at Wang Yan, who had already sat down and seemed unwilling to express any opinions, stood up and arranged for the reserve team.

"Since our reserve team is taking the lead in this competition, then our reserve team must also show the style of our Shrek Academy."

"Moreover, because our combat goal is only to ensure that the main team members reduce the number of shots as much as possible, so as to avoid other teams from obtaining more information, therefore our reserve team can fight with all our strength, without any strategic concealment."

"When the time comes, everyone can go all out and show others that the ability of our Shrek Academy's reserve team is far superior to their main teams!"

"The first game is the knockout stage. As the champion of the previous competition, we will be the first to play and it must be a team match. Although it is nominally a knockout stage, this competition is more of a performance."

"In order to mobilize the atmosphere of the entire competition with the reputation of our Shrek Academy, therefore, in addition to combat power, more important is the viewing experience, so the Star Dou Empire cannot arrange opponents that are too strong for us."

"And this is our chance."

"Sanshi, no matter who the opponent is in this competition, leave the strongest captain to you. You must use your Mysterious Tortoise Displacement to switch him over to our side as soon as possible."

"You are responsible for holding back the other people in the opponent's team. I remember that your Mysterious Tortoise Displacement cannot be used repeatedly in a short period of time. After it can be used, switch me over there as soon as possible."

"And then . . ."

While Shrek Academy was discussing tactics, other participating academies were also doing mobilization work, but these are all stories for later.
