94 Chain Reaction
Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San and couldn't help but sigh: "Xiao San, just now on the ring, Yang Xiong had already announced his surrender, and the opponent was ready to take back his spirit skills, and some people were even ready to attack. Why didn't you give up? Was it because of Xiao Wu or was it because you didn't want to admit defeat?"
Tang San was silent for a while before speaking: "Teacher, they hurt Xiao Wu, I won't let them go."
Yu Xiaogang's expression became serious: "Xiao San, this is a ring match, this is a fighting spirit competition, it is normal for both sides to have some injuries. As far as your state on the ring is concerned, you really can't block Huo Wu's last spirit skill. This is the full force of three spirit masters. Even if you are in your prime, you may not be able to block it."
"You are not the only one on the ring. There are also two relatively fragile auxiliary spirit masters. Even Dai Mubai persuaded you in the end, but why did you insist on doing it?"
Tang San said: "Teacher, I understand all the principles you said, but I just can't bear to see Xiao Wu get hurt. Every time I see Xiao Wu get hurt, I want to kill her."
"By the way, what was the final result in the arena?"
Yu Xiaogang said, "You were all seriously injured this time. Although you, Mu Bai, Xiao Wu, and Tai Long have recovered, you will have to miss at least two days of competition. Among the five of you, only Yang Xiong managed to hold on and was not injured."
Tang San was a little surprised: "How is this possible? I remember that the five of us were on the arena at that time. Although Yang Xiong was close to the edge of the arena, Huo Wu's spirit skill covered the entire arena."
Yu Xiaogang sighed: "I'm not sure about that. Yang Xiong's defense is even stronger than we imagined. I'm afraid his defense is stronger than Hu Yanli of the Elephant Armor Sect."
...
The two communicated for a long time, and Yu Xiaogang just left the room.
Flanders quickly found Yu Xiaogang: "Xiaogang, how was your communication with Xiaosan? Did Xiaosan say anything?"
Yu Xiaogang shook his head: "Flanders, you should know Xiaosan's character. He is strong-willed, and he has a deep relationship with Xiaowu. We should support him more, otherwise our team will lose its cohesion."
Flanders' face showed a trace of solemnity: "Xiaogang, what are you talking about? There are seven people on the ring. The other players don't have the strong physical fitness of Tang San. Obviously, Yang Xiong had received my instructions and agreed to admit defeat, but Tang San insisted on withstanding the opponent's spirit skills, and now four people have been injured."
"If Yang Xiong hadn't decisively pushed Oscar and Ning Rongrong off the stage, six people would have been injured this time, especially Oscar and Ning Rongrong who were just assistants. I'm afraid their injuries would have been even more serious. Moreover, Yang Xiong actually looked for you before asking me for instructions, but you didn't pay attention to his situation."
Yu Xiaogang was silent for a while before speaking: "Flanders, I'm really sorry about this. At that time, my mind was all on Xiao San, and I didn't pay attention to the situation of other people. I didn't expect Huo Wu's soul skill to be so powerful. At that time, I just believed in Xiao San's decision."
Flanders shook his head: "Xiaogang, I know Xiao San is your apprentice, and you have invested a lot of effort in Xiao San, but you are now the leader of the entire team and should consider the entire team." "
Now it's just a ring match, just an ordinary game. It is normal for both sides to be injured. We can't let the whole team fall into a passive position just because Xiao Wu is injured, or even ignore the danger of all the team members."
...
Seeing Rand and Yu Xiaogang arguing about some things on the stage, Liu Erlong on the side suddenly spoke at this time.
"Boss F, you are making a big deal out of nothing. I think Tang San and Xiao Wu are very loyal and righteous, and they are brave and responsible. Especially every time Xiao Wu is injured, Tang San always protects her without hesitation. This is what manliness is."
Flanders couldn't help shaking his head: "When Tang San loses his composure and judgment every time in this situation, it is quite fatal for the core of a team and it is easy to make wrong decisions."
Liu Erlong said: "Isn't it just a soul master competition? The little monsters are still young and may not be mature enough mentally. Anyway, we just regard this Soul Master Competition as a training exercise. The next Soul Master Competition is when the little monsters will really rise."
Flanders turned to look at Yu Xiaogang: "Xiaogang, do you feel the same way? Do you really not take this Soul Master Competition so seriously?"
Yu Xiaogang looked extremely serious at this moment: "Since we are on the stage, we must pursue victory and defeat. We must pursue victory in every game. I support Xiaosan on this point."
Flanders looked at the expressions of Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong and couldn't help shaking his head. He didn't know how to view this Soul Master Competition.
Compared to the struggles of Flanders and others, Yang Xiong was much more relaxed. He simply held Ning Rongrong's hand and strolled around the academy. After such a long time, the two of them had become a recognized golden boy and jade girl in the academy. Others were no longer surprised and no one even came to disturb the young couple.
But before Yang Xiong could get too happy, an extremely serious figure appeared in front of Yang Xiong. It was Jian Douluo.
When Yang Xiong saw Jian Douluo, his scalp suddenly tingled. When he first came to Tiandou Royal Academy, Jian Gu Douluo beat Yang Xiong badly, but he has been a little better recently. The two of them did not provide any combat guidance to Yang Xiong.
Ning Rongrong was very happy: "Grandpa Jian, why are you here? Didn't you meet dad and Grandpa Bone today?"
Jian Douluo showed a hint of doting: "I heard that you were in danger in the ring. I was worried and came to see you."
Ning Rongrong smiled and said: "I'm not in any danger. Little Bear let me leave the ring immediately." Jian Douluo, who had always been indifferent to Yang Xiong, rarely gave Yang Xiong a good look: "Yang Xiong, your performance was good this time. At least you did not damage the dignity of our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. But you have to remember, Rongrong's safety should still be the priority in the arena. As for winning or losing or winning the championship, it's just a child's fight and it's not that important."
Yang Xiong then bit the bullet and said: "Thank you Elder Jian Douluo for your guidance. I will keep it in mind."
When the next day came, the draw was made again for the competition. At this moment, Yu Xiaogang, Flanders and others all looked unhappy.
The opponent's name is Flame Glory Academy. It is only second-rate among all the teams, with average performance, and there is only one Soul Master in the team.
However, compared to the opposing Flame Glory Academy, the Shrek team was in a miserable situation. Four of the seven main players were injured, and Tang San and the other four would have to miss at least two games.
Yang Xiong quickly said: "Master, Dean Flanders, I suggest that we just admit defeat in this game. I'm afraid we have no chance of winning with this lineup."
Yu Xiaogang looked serious: "Are you scared? You should know that you are also the elites of Shrek. Don't you want to show yourselves?"
Everyone looked at each other when they heard what Yu Xiaogang said. Everyone wanted to go on the court and show themselves, but they couldn't overestimate their own abilities.
Now there are only seven people left in Shrek: Yang Xiong, Ning Rongrong, Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing, Qin Shuang, Jiangzhu, and Ma Hongjun, four of whom were originally substitutes.
With the current lineup, the highest is Yang Xiong at level 38, while Ning Rongrong and Oscar are at level 36, Zhu Zhuqing and Qin Shuang are at level 34, and Ma Hongjun is even only at level 33. However, Jiangzhu is at level 35.
You should know that a normal high-level soul master academy team generally has a soul master, the others are generally above level 37, and the substitutes are all above level 35.
This lineup in particular is very unbalanced, with three supports, while other teams generally only have one support with no offensive ability. Having two support soul masters is already relatively extreme.
That is to say, on the ring, four combat soul masters have to fight against six combat soul masters on the opposite side. If the opponent targets their auxiliary, it would be difficult to take care of them.
Especially in the last game, due to various wrong decisions made by captain Dai Mubai and vice-captain Tang San, they were basically in a passive position throughout the whole game, and it happened that both of them were injured this time.
Yu Xiaogang looked at everyone carefully, and finally his eyes fell on Yang Xiong: "Yang Xiong, this time you are here as a strong attack player. With your attack power, you should be able to break through the opponent's formation. Then we may be able to have unexpected results."
Yang Xiong said helplessly: "Master, are you mistaken? The team needs to be run-in. I have been cooperating with others as a defensive spirit master all the past year. If I am suddenly asked to play as a strong attack spirit master, I am afraid that the cooperation with others will not be tacit enough, and it will be easy for others to find loopholes." "
Besides, we have three assistants. As long as the opponent arranges two or even three people to contain me, our assistants will become sitting ducks."
"Besides, if Tang San is not on the court, the entire team will have no control spirit master, which is equivalent to the entire team having no brain. It will be too disadvantageous in battle."
The other team members agreed when they heard Yang Xiong's words, but Yu Xiaogang looked a little ugly.
In order to train Tang San, Yu Xiaogang basically regarded Tang San as the tactical core over the years. Most of the tactics were developed based on Tang San. Tang San was the only control-type soul master in the entire team. Even the three major education committees had suggested adding a control-type substitute, but it was rejected by Yu Xiaogang.
As a result, the team is now seriously deformed and there is no need for them to play at all. We can't expect Yang Xiong to fight seven alone. We know that each team has a dedicated defense soul master and relevant tacit cooperation.
Over the past year, Oscar and Ning Rongrong had privately felt a little unfair for Yang Xiong. Normally, Yang Xiong's attack power was stronger than Tang San and Dai Mubai, but he was arranged to be a defensive spirit master. You have to know that defensive spirit masters on the ring don't have any outstanding performances, at least not as dazzling as offensive spirit masters.
However, Yang Xiong seemed unusually casual. After all, he was only contributing a little, and the most important thing was to protect his girlfriend and brothers.
At least Yang Xiong has never thought of doing anything to turn the tide. The better he performs at this time, the easier it will be for him to be targeted by the Spirit Hall in the future. It would be better for him to practice with peace of mind and wait for the opportunity.
Yu Xiaogang suddenly coughed dryly at this moment: "Little monsters, I recently got a piece of news that the final of this competition may be held in Wuhun City. The reward for the champion is beyond everyone's imagination. It is three top-level soul bones."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Soul bones are known as the treasures of the Blood River. They are extremely rare in the soul master world. Only one soul bone has appeared in the entire soul master competition so far.
It is said that since Huyan Li showed his head soul bone, Huyan Zhen has been staying with him every day, as if he was afraid that his grandson would be in danger, and gradually the soul bone became more attractive to soul masters.
You must know that Hu Yuanzhen is a top Soul Douluo at level 88, and the leader of the Elephant Armor Sect, one of the lower four sects. His strength and status are very high. Even so, he is still worried about Hu Yanli's safety.
