Chapter 222: One-vs-Five!
Since Meng Shu had already made up his mind, he naturally had to take action.
After guiding Meng Yiran out of the haze of her failure, Meng Shu couldn't wait to push her out to find Yu Tianheng.
As for whether the other party could accept it, that would have to be tested by time.
The Seven Treasures Team's next opponent in the tournament was a team from the northern Hagendasi Wangguo.
Among the opponents, the team members were all tall and sturdy, looking visually impactful.
Although this team's overall soul power level was not high, their performance in the Preliminary Tournament was quite eye-catching.
As of today, only the Seven Treasures Team, the Shrek Team, and the Hagendasi Battle Team remained undefeated.
Even the Thunder Academy team, which many had favored beforehand, had lost consecutively to the Seven Treasures Team and the Hagendasi Battle Team.
Feng Xiaotian spoke up: "Captain, everyone has already gone first before; do you want to go first in tomorrow's match?"
After the match against the Hagendasi Battle Team, the next one would be their match against the Shrek Team.
In order not to expose their strength beforehand, Wu Qi ultimately decided to be the team's safety net, meaning he would be the last to enter the arena.
When the match began the next day.
Many teams in the audience were discussing it.
There were now three undefeated teams in the Preliminary Tournament; after today's match between the Seven Treasures Team and the Hagendasi Battle Team, only two teams would remain with a perfect record.
Afterwards, what kind of brilliant match would be played during the collision between these two undefeated teams?
"This match has nothing to watch; the Seven Treasures Team has two Soul Kings, is there still any suspense in the match?"
Under normal circumstances, there was indeed no suspense.
But in the Seven Treasures Team's previous matches, only one Soul King had ever taken the stage.
Since they had never been pushed to the final match, they did not know if Wu Qi would take the stage.
If the Seven Treasures Team had a lapse in judgment during this match and did not arrange for a Soul King powerhouse to take the stage, the Hagendasi Battle Team would not be without a chance.
When the match began, the first person from the Seven Treasures Team to take the stage completely shattered the suspense before the match.
"Xiaotian, you go first; eliminate as many as you can. Later, Changkong, Wushuang... try your best to show your strength, don't deliberately throw the match."
Northerners were indeed large in build, but that did not mean their combat power was necessarily strong.
In battle, a larger body size meant stronger defense and attack power, but the turning radius also increased; facing a thin and agile opponent, one could often achieve miraculous results.
Seeing Feng Xiaotian take the stage first meant that this match had lost its suspense.
With the strength of Soul King Feng Xiaotian, taking out two to three opponents was not a problem. The rest of the Seven Treasures Team were all Soul Ancestors, and even a one-for-one trade wouldn't result in a loss, so the only suspense in this match was by what margin the match would end.
"Do you want to bet on how many people Xiaotian can eliminate?" Qiangu Changkong raised his eyebrows, seemingly still holding a grudge about what happened before.
Wu Qi smiled and said: "Then I'll bet on more than four, not including four."
Having had the experience of the match against the Exotic Beast Academy Battle Team, Feng Xiaotian would inevitably be calculating with his use of soul power and physical strength, and would not blindly use physical strength without using soul power.
Coupled with his advantage in staying airborne, the ground advantage of this group of tall men was greatly weakened.
Sun Buyu once again opened the betting as the bookmaker.
The Preliminary Tournament was not like the Preliminary Tournament; in a one-on-one match, anything could happen.
After all, without teammates, an individual's fault tolerance was very low.
It was also possible that when the second opponent took the stage, Feng Xiaotian could be eliminated due to a major mistake.
Therefore, this time no one chose to follow Wu Qi's bet.
"Then I'll bet on eliminating three," Qiangu Changkong laughed.
Most of the others bet on three to four; only Wu Qi bet on more than four.
Clearly, everyone did not favor Feng Xiaotian to eliminate more than four people.
Feng Xiaotian was the first to take the stage, and facing such a strong team, the members of the Shrek Team stared at everything on the arena without blinking.
To lose to the Seven Treasures Team by a very small margin, or to defeat them, Feng Xiaotian was a chasm that had to be crossed.
In Tang San's plan, Dai Mubai needed to deal with Feng Xiaotian at full state; his task was not to win, but to consume the opponent's state as much as possible.
Immediately following, Yu Tianheng would take the stage, and even if it meant a one-for-one trade, he had to eliminate Feng Xiaotian.
Of course, the best way was for Dai Mubai to consume most of Feng Xiaotian's state, so that when Yu Tianheng took the stage, he could defeat Feng Xiaotian while also eliminating one more person from the Seven Treasures Team.
As for Tang San, he would be left until the end to face Wu Qi directly.
"Boss Dai, Tianheng, you must carefully observe Feng Xiaotian's small movements and remember his points of error; when tomorrow's match comes, this will be your opportunity to break through him."
If Dai Mubai could eliminate Feng Xiaotian, Tang San was confident that with the strength of the Shrek Seven Devils, they could basically lock in the victory.
Of course, their match against the Thunder Academy team today was crucial for Yu Tianheng, and they could not take it lightly either.
Whether he could defeat Yu Tianxin and defeat the Thunder Academy team was directly related to the competition for the position of Young Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family!
Yu Tianheng did not dare to be careless!
In the match against the Hagendasi Battle Team, Feng Xiaotian ultimately completed a "one-vs-five," which could be considered tying the best record of the Preliminary Tournament.
Being able to defeat so many opponents in one go was mainly because the opponents were overly stubborn and refused to accept defeat against him.
However, the Hagendasi Battle Team was not a weak team; their individual strength was very strong. Feng Xiaotian's state was excessively consumed by their chain tactics; otherwise, he really would have had a chance to break the tournament record and complete the feat of a "one-vs-six."
In the end, with the Seven Treasures Team letting up a little, the score was fixed at three to seven.
The betting pool had already opened, and the final result was quite close to Wu Qi's bet.
What he said about eliminating more than four people did not include four; Feng Xiaotian eliminated five, which was not much different from his predicted result.
He was the only one who bet that much, so he took all the winnings himself.
Qiangu Changkong muttered: "Xiaotian, couldn't you have let up a little?"
Having no grudges with the Hagendasi Battle Team, Feng Xiaotian's attacks were indeed heavy. Later, under Sun Buyu's arrangement, Qiangu Changkong and Huo Wushuang each let up, which kept the score from being overly outrageous.
Feng Xiaotian spread his hands, his face full of innocence: "I didn't know you all had placed bets; I'll definitely hold back next time."
Wu Qi weighed the money pouch in his hand and laughed: "Alright, after the tournament ends, everyone will go eat a big meal with this money."
"By then, it will just be eaten into your stomachs anyway, so it's not a loss."
"For the upcoming match between Shrek Team and Thunder Team, everyone watch carefully."
"Tomorrow is the match against Shrek Team; I will take the stage first, and Xiaotian will be next. We must ensure the match ends one-to-seven!"
A one-versus-seven sweep requires the right time, place, and people; Wu Qi dared not make such a guarantee lightly.
Of course, if it were only a one-versus-five sweep, he would still have confidence.
