Chapter 181: Heavy Fist Strike
After the match, Feng Xiaotian and the others returned to the rest area and high-fived Wu Qi to celebrate.
Qiangu Changkong was in high spirits and laughed loudly: "I thought they were quite tough, but it turns out they were just outwardly strong and inwardly weak."
Feng Xiaotian, however, did not underestimate the opponent: "The power of the Mammoth Spiral Cannon is not small. If it were me alone at Shenfeng Academy Academy Academy, I fear it would be quite troublesome."
Wu Qi knew that Huyan Li had not revealed all his trump cards in this match; at the very least, the opponent still had a helmet-type skull bone that had not been exposed.
Of course, even if it were exposed, it would be of no use against the agile Feng Xiaotian.
Flipping through the schedule, Wu Qi said: "Tomorrow our opponent is Tianshui Academy."
Sun Buyu added: "The Blazing Academy and Tianshui Team have already conceded to us in advance, so everyone can rest for a day tomorrow."
This was nothing strange; the three families had a very solid relationship, and Huo Lie and the others knew well the strength of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect team, so they naturally would not let their own teams be stubborn, so as to avoid exposing too many trump cards.
Of course, this was limited to the preliminary tournament stage; once they reached the finals stage, they would not concede so easily.
The highlight of the next day's matches was the Shrek Team versus the Xiangjia Team.
From the start of the tournament until now, the Shrek Team had maintained a winning streak, and no matter how poor their reputation was, no one doubted their strength.
Some of the fans they had accumulated even hailed the Shrek Team as the biggest dark horse of this tournament.
Although the Xiangjia Team had losses, the opponents they lost to were the championship favorites, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect team, and the other dark horse, the Tianshui Team, so it was understandable.
Regarding their strength, many people still acknowledged it.
It is worth mentioning that for today's match, the Elephant Armored Sect Master Huyan Zhen arrived in person.
At the previous Seven Great Sects re-election assembly, the Elephant Armored Sect only ranked sixth among the Seven Great Sects.
But now, the Elephant Armored Sect had a trend of becoming the head of the Lower Four Sects, and no one dared to underestimate them.
Therefore, when Huyan Zhen appeared beside Salas, he still received considerable attention.
The Feng, Shui, and Huo families had already "joined" the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, so Ning Fengzhi was not surprised by Huyan Zhen's actions.
Gu Rong used voice transmission to ask curiously: "Fengzhi, why did this old brat Huyan Zhen come?"
Now, it was very different from the original timeline; Shrek Academy was no longer the object of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family's attention; on the contrary, they were "enemies" of the Imperial Family.
Would Huyan Zhen be so kind as to vent his anger for the Heaven Dou Imperial Family?
Ning Fengzhi also did not understand the other's intentions, but clearly, this matter was no loss to them.
As one of the participating parties, the Shrek Team had made precise deployments before the match.
Yu Xiaogang reminded: "Xiao San, the Xiangjia Team's Mammoth Spiral Cannon is specifically designed to counter aerial targets."
"Facing a Soul King-level Feng Xiaotian, it might not have achieved its full effect, but if it deals with you, I fear it will be very easy. Therefore, do not take to the air easily unless necessary, so as not to fall into their trap."
Tang San nodded solemnly.
But do not forget, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect team had also provided a solution yesterday.
Tang San was confident that his martial soul was not inferior to Zhou Yun's Thorn Demon Vine; using the same large net to cover the Xiangjia Team, the Mammoth Spiral Cannon could still be neutralized.
"For this match, Tailong will replace Fatty. Facing a Defense System Spirit Master, Tailong is better to utilize than Fatty."
Not letting Ma Hongjun play in a key match did indeed have the suspicion of sidelining him.
But Tang San's explanation was reasonable, and Flender could not say much.
On the Elephant Armored Sect's side, they felt baffled.
"Why does the Sect Master want us to defeat Shrek Academy at all costs? There's no need, right?" Huyan Ba asked, puzzled.
Huyan Li was also unaware.
Even though they had already lost two matches, their advancement situation was still excellent.
Even if they lost to the Thunder Team and the Shrek Team again, as long as they won against the Feng-Huo team, there would be no problem with advancing.
One must know that having lost elites like Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wushuang, even if Shenfeng Academy Academy Academy and Chihuo Academy Academy Academy joined forces, their strength would still be greatly reduced.
Since that was the case, there was no need for them to expose their trump cards and fight the Shrek Team to the death.
Of course, Huyan Li and the others did not know that this matter was not decided by Huyan Zhen, but by Xue Qinghe.
Yu Xiaogang openly targeted the Imperial Family and was also Bibi Dong's lover; how could Xue Qinghe let him off easily?
Letting the Xiangjia Team fight them with all their might was his idea.
When the sun was high, the Shrek Team and the Xiangjia Team stepped onto the ring.
The members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect team all came to the scene to watch.
"Shall we place a bet on who will win?" Qiangu Changkong suggested: "I bet ten Gold Soul Coins that the Xiangjia Team will win."
Looking at their strength on paper, the two teams were evenly matched, and it was really hard to judge the winner.
Sun Buyu laughed: "A small bet is for fun; I'll open the betting. Do you want to place a bet?"
Feng Xiaotian deliberated for a moment and also decided to bet on the Xiangjia Team.
After all, in terms of foundation, the Xiangjia Team far surpassed the Shrek Team.
Moreover, Huyan Li was Huyan Zhen's grandson, so he must still have trump cards.
In this tournament, there were six strong teams, and inevitably one would not be able to advance.
This match might be related to which of the two teams could get the final advancement spot.
The Huo Wushuang siblings trusted Feng Xiaotian's judgment and each placed a bet of ten Gold Soul Coins.
Sun Buyu weighed the money bag in his hand: "If no one bets on the Shrek Team, if the Xiangjia Team loses, I will take all these forty Gold Soul Coins."
Wu Qi smiled and took out ten Gold Soul Coins, betting on the Shrek Team.
Everyone's judgment was not wrong, but that was on the premise that Tang San was not a transmigrator.
Having lived two lives, Tang San inevitably possessed extremely high insight, and the Tang Men Techniques were of great significance on such a competition field.
Moreover, the Shrek Team is now considered to have brought out all its elites, and its strength is even a bit stronger than in the original timeline.
Chen Ping and Ning Rongrong chose to trust Wu Qi; Qiangu Changkong wanted to change his mind, but there was no point in betting on both sides, so he simply trusted his own judgment.
The substitute members placed their bets casually, not caring much about it, and they were not short of these ten Gold Soul Coins anyway.
The match began, and unlike yesterday, the Xiangjia Team actually chose a fast-attack strategy.
Huyan Li struck with a heavy fist, initiating his Third Soul Skill first, leaping into the air and smashing toward Dai Mubai.
With his own weight added to the momentum of the descent, it was difficult for Dai Mubai alone to parry.
Under Tang San's coordination, Tailong went to assist, while Yu Tianheng held the front line to prevent others from the Xiangjia Team from launching a sneak attack.
After the first round of exchanges, neither side had gained an advantage, but the Xiangjia Team's fast-attack strategy had collapsed on its own.
Below the arena, Yu Xiaogang sneered at this: "Trying to imitate our Shrek's tactics is truly a pipe dream."
With the tactic ineffective, the Xiangjia Team was bound to fall into a passive position.
However, they were all tall and sturdy, and by relying on their own physiques, they managed to force out a margin for error.
On the high platform, Huyan Zhen furrowed his brows.
He did not participate in the team's management work, but using such a tactic was simply extremely stupid.
