Chapter 370

The Avengers had seven Rank 49 and even Rank 50 members, but they were all Soul Ancestors.

On the other hand, the Shrek Academy had two Soul Kings among the seven, so they had a slight advantage.

However, the seven of them were more worried that they would be like the Canghui Academy and be able to control the seven-man combination skill.

Although it was difficult, the Shrek's Seven Monsters knew how to do it.

If the Avengers knew how to do it, then their advantage as Soul Kings would be weakened a little because the overall strength of both sides was about the same.

Although they had two powerful Soul Kings, their weaknesses were obvious as well. The three Soul Ancestors were only Rank 45 and 46.

Under such circumstances, if both sides were to use the seven-man combination skill, the difference in power should be about the same.

"I believe everyone has seen the strength of the Avengers. Each of them has the strength to take on seven people. Even the Divine Wind Academy and Thunder Academy were defeated by the Hulk and Thunder God Thor respectively."

Tang San said cautiously, "Because of the competition system, if we meet them in the first round, it will be the decisive moment."

"We can't be that unlucky, right? With such a low probability, if we really meet them, our luck will be too bad." Ma Hongjun curled his lips.

In Lin Feng's opinion, the competition system of the finals was completely problematic because as long as the strong teams were unlucky, they would be finished directly!

The finals used a one-round elimination system. There were a total of 33 teams, and the competition was divided into five rounds.

In the first round, the seeded teams of the Heaven Dou Empire, Star Luo Empire, and Martial Spirit Palace would have a bye. The other 30 teams would draw lots, and the losers would be directly eliminated!

The drawing of lots was completely random. If the Oakland Academy drew the Shrek Academy, then one of the academies would have to scram.

There wasn't even a Best of 3 or Best of 5. It was just a single round to determine the winner. There was no such thing as a loser's bracket or a revival round.

In Lin Feng's opinion, the competition system of the first round was especially bad.

In the second round, three seeded teams would participate. Including the teams that advanced in the first round, there were a total of 18 teams.

However, in the second round, the first place teams of the two empires would have a bye, and the remaining 16 teams would compete.

Just like the first round, the loser would be eliminated.

In fact, Lin Feng was very puzzled by this competition system. What if the first place of the ranking competition was eliminated in the first round?

It wasn't that the two of them were eliminated at the same time. Instead, it was the type where one of them was eliminated while the other advanced.

In that case, wouldn't 17 out of the 18 teams be participating in the competition?

Under such circumstances, it would be unfair to the other teams if the extra team got a bye. You didn't get first place in the ranking competition, so what right do you have to get a bye?

Who else would he be fighting if he didn't get a bye?

Of course, no one would be willing to fight twice in a row. Furthermore, it wouldn't do to fight against the first ranked player who had a bye.

That was why the competition format was so mysterious.

Perhaps it was because there had never been a situation where the first place player was eliminated in a ranking competition before. That was why such a loophole in the competition system was adopted.

In the third round, the second place teams of the two empires would be given a bye. The remaining eight teams would face off against each other, and the loser would be eliminated.

The fourth round did not have a bye. The six teams would fight each other in pairs to determine the top three.

In the fifth round, which was also the last round, the three teams would engage in individual battles to determine the temporary top three.

The bottom two would engage in a team battle, and the winner would challenge the first place in the individual battles. The two sides would engage in a final team battle to determine the overall champion!

During these five rounds, there would be a day of rest between each round. Before the fifth round, there would be three days of rest, making a total of eleven days.

Generally speaking, these were the rules of the competition. In any case, Lin Feng felt that there were quite a lot of loopholes.

"Although the chances of encountering each other in the first round are very low, there's still a chance of encountering each other. In any case, we just have to do our best!" Tang San encouraged everyone.

In this competition, the only team that they cared about was the Avengers.

Although the seeded team of the Martial Soul Hall was very strong, everyone knew that the possibility of them knowing a seven-man combination skill was too low.

For something like a combination skill, the more people there were, the easier it was to release it. This was because once there were more people, the strength of a single soul master would be weaker, and it would be very difficult to affect the entire team.

Generally, in a soul master legion, a team of twenty people was formed because twenty people were generally able to release a combination skill.

Of course, the more people there were, the lower the power of the combination skill. When it reached a limit, it would not increase.

This lower did not mean that the overall power would be weaker, but that the efficiency of the power would be lower.

Generally speaking, when twenty people used a combination skill, they would be able to release a combined attack of ten people.

And if there were fifty people, they might only be able to release the strength of twenty people.

If there were a hundred people, they might not even be able to release the strength of thirty people.

A thousand people could release the strength of a hundred people, and that was only possible if their martial souls were relatively close.

As for the ten-thousand-man combination skill, it was mostly just talk. Generally, when a thousand people combined to release a combination skill, it was just for show. There was no way to use it in a real battle.

Common combination skills were usually those with twenty or fifty people.

Once there were more people, it would be very difficult to concentrate their power. Even if they were too far away, soul power would not be able to reach them. Therefore, the more people, the better.

As for combination skills with fewer people, such as ten or five people, although they could release a strong power, it required a high degree of affinity between martial souls.

The characteristics of the martial souls of the seven people from the Canghui Academy were very similar, so they could release a seven-person combination skill.

For Shrek's Seven Monsters, the main reason was that their control of soul power was stronger, so they could release a powerful combination skill.

Tang San did not believe that the Martial Spirit Hall team could also control their soul power, or that the seven people's martial souls were close.

Therefore, the only thing they cared about at this time was the Avengers.

"That's right!

Go all out, even if it's the Avengers, we have to defeat them! "Xiao Wu clenched her fists.

"If we meet them in the first round and defeat them, we will directly lock in the championship!" Dai Mubai said cheerfully.

The Martial Spirit Hall's seed team only had three soul kings, and according to Flanders's information, those people should only be rank 51 or 52.

It was not that he was arrogant, but Dai Mubai felt that he could beat the two of them alone.

The Martial Spirit Hall's reward for the championship this time was three soul bones. It seemed that they were specially rewarded for the three soul kings of the seed team.

After analyzing it, these three soul kings should not have soul bones, so they were rewarded with these.

The three soul kings without soul bones were only rank 52. So what if they had a top-notch martial soul?

Dai Mubai also had a top-notch martial soul.

Not only that, but he and Xiao San's soul power rank was higher than theirs, and they also had soul bones. Most importantly, they had high control of soul power.

Their Shrek's Seven Monsters were simply beating the Martial Spirit Hall's seed team.

"Don't think so much, cultivate well and strive to break through one level." Lin Feng said with a smile.

Hearing this, everyone did not talk nonsense and quickly entered into cultivation.

On the Oakland Academy's side, only Fang Huai, the leader, and a few students and teachers were in the carriage. As for the seven members of the Avengers, they were not in the carriage at all.

Before setting off, Lin Feng disguised himself as Doctor Strange and personally looked for Fang Huai, saying that he would bring his seven disciples to Martial Spirit City first and would not follow the carriage.

What could Fang Huai say? He could only agree. He did not dare to refute.

Just like that, a group of more than a thousand people rushed towards Martial Spirit City.

In the blink of an eye, fifteen days had passed, and they had covered more than half of the journey to Martial Spirit City.

Because they were escorted by five hundred Royal Knights, they were treated like royalty. Everywhere they went, the city lords of the cities personally came out to welcome them and treated them with great respect.

What made Lin Feng feel that fate was wonderful was that when they arrived at Cree City, Lin Feng saw Lin Hai in the crowd, who had wanted to whip him.

Now, he was already 23 years old. His innate soul power was extremely low, and after seven years of cultivation, he was not even a Soul Grandmaster. He was only a Rank 19 Soul Master.

Originally, he had almost forgotten about this guy, but now that they met, it was fate between the two of them.

Thus … when the large group left Cree City, Lin Feng went to the City Lord's Mansion and specially observed Lin Hai.

After seeing that this guy was still arrogant, Lin Feng directly crippled Lin Hai's cultivation.

Although he had taken a lot of gold coins from this guy, it was not very satisfying.

Later on, Lin Feng actually wanted to take revenge, but he could not find the person, so he left it at that.

Now that fate had brought them together, Lin Feng thought that if Lin Hai changed, he would let this guy go.

But he did not expect that after seven years, this guy did not repent at all and was still arrogant.

Then there was no other way, Lin Feng directly crippled him.

Lin Feng did not kill this guy. Killing this kind of guy would dirty his hands and cripple him. Looking at his confused and desperate face, it was quite satisfying.

This kind of evil person should be taught a lesson like this!

Today was the sixteenth day of their journey.

The group had already left Soto City and was not far from Martial Spirit City. If they walked along the main road for another five days, they would almost reach it.

After fifteen days, Tang San and the rest were diligently cultivating, and a few of them broke through one after another.

Now, only Dai Mubai and Oscar were still cultivating in the carriage. The others had broken through by one rank and left the carriage, leaving the two of them in the carriage.

Soul power cultivation also required a balance between tension and relaxation. If they kept cultivating, their nerves would be tense, and sometimes it would affect their subsequent breakthroughs.

So at this time, after everyone broke through, they temporarily relaxed for a few days and did not continue cultivating, waiting for the finals to begin.

Because it was a large group moving forward, the overall speed of the group was very slow compared to an individual.

Tang San and the rest strolled around the various colleges, making friends and whatnot. Lin Feng did not have the heart to do that, and generally wandered around the group.

As for what he was doing?

Of course, he was playing games!

And he was playing LOL!

He directly used the Thousand Trickery Ruler to create a Summoner's Canyon the size of a basketball court. Then, Lin Feng controlled ten doppelgangers, and each of them turned into a hero in the canyon, fighting against each other.

Wild monsters, small soldiers, shops, all of these elements were available, and Lin Feng could control them all.

Other people played LOL on the computer and used a mouse and keyboard to control a hero.

Lin Feng was playing ten heroes by himself, including wild monsters and small soldiers. They were all controlled and generated by him.

Lin Feng actually had this conjecture a long time ago, but his multitasking ability was not good enough, and he could not reach this level of micro-manipulation.

When he was able to multitask, he began to try this kind of Summoner's Canyon game.

However, he could not do it with ten people!

There was too much data on Summoner's Canyon, wild monsters, small soldiers, defense towers, and so on. It would take a lot of effort to simulate these.

Back then, Lin Feng could only simulate a man-machine battle.

Didn't he multitask? Five people controlled the heroes, one person controlled five man-machines, one person paid attention to the gold coins, one person paid attention to the wild monsters, small soldiers, and defense towers, and one person paid attention to the equipment and damage system.

The last person was in charge of the overall situation. In this way, he could multitask and barely create a man-machine battle.

Of course, the data was only a general situation, and he could not simulate too detailed, so he could only be happy for himself.

Now, Lin Feng was able to do twelve things at once. He was able to fight some outstanding team battles with the 'AI'.

In addition to LOL, Lin Feng could also play some other games, such as CSGO, DNF, and so on.

He found that training his multitasking ability was not only fun, but also very useful. It was more effective than manipulating a seven-man team battle.

As for the Shrek Academy, Dugu Bo was secretly protecting them, so he didn't have to follow them all the time. Even if Moon Pass and Ghost Demon attacked, he would have time to go over and gain experience.

He didn't even have to make a move. Anyway, Ning Fengzhi and Dusty Heart were secretly following them. He could wait for the people from the Martial Soul Palace to withdraw.

Then he would quietly surround them and fight with them. That way, he wouldn't let anyone go. After one fight, his experience should be able to increase by a lot.

Just as Lin Feng was thinking about this, the big team walked into a valley.

In the outer area of the valley, a group of soul masters lurked around, waiting for them to approach.

As a group of assassins and evil soul masters, they didn't like to move in groups, so they were scattered around.

Some were ready to take advantage of the chaos to kill the target, some were ready to wait for the right time to assassinate, and some had even sneaked into the big team. At this moment, they were looking for Tang San's position.

Anyway, at this time, the people from the Martial Soul Palace were ready to take action.

In the original work, because it was the people from the Martial Soul Palace who came to attack.

In order to not completely fall out with them, they directly retreated after being blocked and didn't attack again.

But this time, this group of assassins wouldn't retreat immediately. Their idea was very simple: kill Tang San and get the bounty.

As for the time, they wouldn't limit themselves to this day.

Even if they failed today, they would wait for the next opportunity. Even when they reached the Martial Soul City, they would still take action.

They didn't care about the Martial Soul Palace. They were a group of people without faith and only worked for money!

The bounty given by the Martial Soul Palace was one million gold coins, and as long as they made a move, they would get ten thousand gold coins.

One had to know that the target was only a Soul Ancestor. One million gold coins was simply too terrifying.

Generally, the bounty for Assassin Soul Douluo was only this much. How could they not be excited? This was simply a fat job among fat jobs.

It was almost evening now, and they wouldn't be in a hurry when the sky darkened. The group was ready to start looking for a place to set up camp.

At this time, the group of assassins was scouting and scouting for information.

Some pretended to be pedestrians and brushed past the group, trying to figure out Tang San's position. Some with special Martial Souls that could make them invisible wanted to find Tang San in the crowd.

There were also assassins who worked together. They were ready to set up a plan to achieve a sure-kill effect.

The Shrek Academy's carriage was very conspicuous. There was a sign on it, so it was basically easy to find.

When these people were scouting, the group wouldn't notice anything.

After all, these pedestrians were too ordinary. They often met along the way, so no one would suspect anything.

It was also difficult to detect those who were invisible in the crowd. After all, they were all experts at the level of Soul Sages and Soul Douluo. If they deliberately hid, as long as the other party was careful, they wouldn't be discovered.

The main reason was that there were too many people in the group. Moreover, there was no danger along the way. With the Royal Guards clearing the way, no one thought that someone would target them.

Although Titled Douluo had sharp senses and careful observation, he wasn't always vigilant. It wasn't easy for him to discover others.

Sometimes, when Lin Feng took a nap in the Shrek Academy, Xiao Wu would sneak over to scare him without him noticing.

After all, she didn't have any killing intent. She was tiptoeing around, so he wouldn't notice.

Soon, the sky gradually darkened. The group chose an open space and began to set up camp.

At this time, Lin Feng also returned. He felt a little tired, so he chose to return to the carriage and sleep to recover his energy.

The others began to cook outside and prepare for dinner. Some academies even had friendly exchanges with each other.

After all, these 15 academies represented the face of the Heaven Dou Empire. Now, they were a little more united.

There was only one academy that didn't fit in with the rest.

That was the Oakland Academy. At this time, everyone knew that it was useless to befriend Fang Huai with the Avengers. Therefore, no one specially went to curry favor with them.

There was only one team leader and a few teachers standing there. They felt a little desolate and didn't fit in with the liveliness of the other places.

At this very ordinary time, a black shadow took advantage of the night and quickly approached the Shrek Academy.

Not far away, a soldier dressed as a Royal Knight was carrying food and seemed to be passing by the Shrek Academy.

There was also a large black bird in the sky. Taking advantage of the night, it flew straight towards Tang San.

There were three people … Oh, no, there were more. In any case, many people chose to make a move at this time!

Although many of them were lone wolves, they still had brains. They knew that it would be difficult to complete the mission if they went up one by one. There was only hope if they attacked together.

After all, there was more than one Soul Sage accompanying the Shrek Academy. If they approached, they would definitely attract attention with their killing intent.

There was only hope if they broke through the defense of these people!

Of course, there were also more powerful killers who didn't care at all. They were confident that they could kill Tang San before others could react!

The guy wearing the Royal Knight's uniform was an extremely strong Soul Douluo.

When he was only ten meters away from the Shrek Academy, these people didn't notice him.

However, the two people on the other side had already begun to make a move!

This Soul Douluo couldn't wait any longer. Otherwise, if others killed the target, his bounty would be gone.

With that thought, he didn't hesitate. A strange iron awl suddenly appeared in his hand, and the soul ring on it shone!

At the same time, on the other side, the other two killers also attacked at the same time.

"How dare you!" Liu Erlong roared angrily. Her Martial Soul directly attached to her body and emitted an extremely powerful aura!

Flanders had already advanced to Soul Douluo and was an agility-type soul master. At this moment, his reaction was one step faster and he rushed toward the killer.

Zhao Wuji was the same. The three of them reacted and blocked the first round of attacks.

However, there were more than three people who attacked!

In the next second, a figure actually emerged from the ground with a dagger in his hand, and his target was Tang San!

This was a Soul Sage, and he was extremely fast.

"Be careful!" Zhu Zhuqing shouted.

At this moment, everyone understood that the target these people wanted to kill was Tang San.

Not only was there this person with a dagger, but the big bird in the sky also grabbed at Tang San with its sharp claws. It was a pincer attack!

At this moment, the three teachers fought back, and less than a second had passed by the time everyone regained their senses.

No one could react in time to save Tang San. Lin Feng was awakened by the soul power fluctuations outside, but it wasn't like he couldn't react immediately.

In the distance, Dusty Heart and Dugu Bo also felt the fluctuations, but the two of them were too far away as they were secretly following and protecting him.

Not to mention coming over to support him instantly, they probably wouldn't be able to come over within ten seconds.

At this moment, there was a powerful agility-type Soul Sage below, and a special Soul Sage who had transformed into a big bird in the sky.

Two Soul Sages were attacking Tang San from both sides. The only person who could save Tang San was himself!

Originally, the assassins thought they would see panic or shock on Tang San's face.

However, there was none of that. He only had a calm expression.

He opened his hand, and a round soul stone appeared in his hand. In the next moment, he crushed it!

With a surge of soul power, Tang San disappeared from where he was and appeared beside Xiao Wu.

Other than Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai and the others were dumbfounded.

The assassins were also dumbfounded.

The soul masters who discovered the situation here were also dumbfounded.

What just happened?

His martial soul and soul rings didn't appear. They didn't even feel any soul power fluctuations from Tang San's body, but he easily teleported a distance away.

This attack was an opportunity that they had been waiting for for a long time, and Tang San happened to be a distance away from them.

However, the assassination was a complete failure!

They didn't even understand why Tang San could teleport. The report didn't mention this at all. Didn't he have a Bluesilver Grass martial soul?

However, they didn't have time to be puzzled.

The opportunity was fleeting, and Tang San had already returned to the crowd!

.....
