Chapter 105 True Glory is More Important Than Victory
The way of drawing lots is also quite special. It is not about reaching in to draw, but putting three small balls of different colors in a transparent ball. The transparent ball is then rotated, and the one that falls out determines the mode of the game.
Wang Nan and the captain of Yunluo College placed their hands on the transparent sphere. Through the transparent sphere, Wang Nan saw that there was no tension on the other party's face. After seeing Wang Nan's eyes, the captain gave him a silly smile and seemed to have no intention of fighting.
At the referee's command, Wang Nan and Captain Yunluo worked together and the transparent ball flew high. Soon, the yellow ball representing the individual battle fell out first.
"Oh - it seems that the draw results have come out. The competition format between the Shrek team and the Star Luo Empire Yunluo team is an individual elimination tournament!"
The host's passionate voice spread throughout the Xingluo Plaza through the loudspeaker soul guide, and even people outside who didn't buy tickets could hear his voice.
"Individual elimination match rules: Both teams send out seven players to fight one-on-one. The winner stays on the stage, and the loser leaves. The team that eliminates the other team's seven players first will be the final winner. Now, please invite the first players from both teams to come on stage!"
While the host was introducing the rules, Wang Nan had already arrived at the stage. The rest area of Shrek Academy was at the northernmost part, and the area was obviously larger than that of other academies. There were a full twenty sofas, and the table next to it was filled with food, fruits, and drinks.
"The strength of Yunluo Soul Instructor Academy is not strong. After the first round of eliminations, several main players were injured and unable to play. There are only three Soul Masters with the highest cultivation. The first game can let the pre-selected players play. How about it, who of you wants to be the first to play?"
Wang Yan looked around and finally the captain of the reserve team, Bei Bei, stepped forward and said, "I'll go first. If I lose, there are regular players to back me up."
"Okay." Wang Yan nodded, and turned back to the other students, "You probably rarely fight with pure soul masters. This is a good opportunity to see how pure soul masters fight."
As the game began, the players from Yunluo Academy raised their arms, and each of them pulled out three metal pipes as thick as a thumb. Metal pipes also appeared on their shoulders and legs, and a soul guide that looked like a metal heart guard appeared on their chests.
As a strong attacking spirit master, Beibei's attacks can only be most effective after he gets close to the opponent, so he rushed out the moment the game started.
The opponent's first three soul rings have lit up, and it seems that they all amplify his soul skills. After that, more than a dozen rays of light of different colors attacked Beibei.
Beibei's first soul ring lit up, and blue-purple lightning condensed on his right hand. He kept moving his body to try his best to dodge the opponent's attack. If he couldn't avoid it, he would use the lightning in his hand to shoot it down.
Wang Nan was sitting in the rest area, looking at the arena, when he suddenly felt a subtle spiritual fluctuation spreading past him.
Looking back, I saw Huo Yuhao with his head down, not knowing what he was doing.
"Yuhao!" Wang Nan interrupted him.
Huo Yuhao looked up in response, the milky white light in his eyes slowly fading away.
The other disciples around also looked over.
Wang Nan paused for a moment, but did not scold him. Instead, he stood up, smiled gently, and walked to Huo Yuhao. "I said before that I wanted to chat with you, but I never had the chance. Do you want to sit with me for a while?"
The other disciples just took a look and stopped paying attention. Yunluo Academy was not a strong opponent, so it was understandable that Wang Nan didn't care about the fight on the ring. After all, they themselves were not paying attention.
“How is it? Are you used to the life in the academy?” Wang Nan came to sit next to Huo Yuhao. “Senior Brother Wang,” Huo Yuhao called out, and then nodded. “Yes, everyone in the academy is very nice to me.”
Wang Nan's eyes lit up with a pale golden light. He looked towards the ring and said, "If Bei Bei on the ring now has your help, he will definitely be able to easily dodge the opponent's attack, right?"
“Senior Brother Wang?” Huo Yuhao raised his head in confusion, not knowing what was going on for a moment.
"If this was an actual battle, I would definitely not interrupt what you just did. After all, when I was in the outer courtyard, our homeroom teacher told me that fighting means using any means necessary."
Huo Yuhao then realized that his little action just now did not escape Wang Nan's notice.
“Senior Brother Wang…” Huo Yuhao lowered his head. “I just want Senior Brother to win, and I want our academy to win this game.”
"Your idea is not wrong. If you are on the competition stage now, you can make any preparations and adopt any tactics. But if you are in the audience, you can't do something wrong."
"The academy has been telling you to defend the glory of Shrek, but the real glory is not just victory."
Wang Nan didn't say much, but patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder and asked him to look up at the arena.
On the ring, Beibei had already used his own abilities to come in front of the soul instructor from Yunluo Academy. The student did not put up any resistance, and immediately admitted defeat when he saw Beibei approaching him.
For them, they had already assumed defeat after they drew lots and encountered Shrek Academy, so they did not put up too much resistance, but admitted defeat in time to avoid further casualties.
It was not until applause and cheers rang out all around him that Huo Yuhao realized that the noise around him seemed to have become much quieter.
He raised his head to look at Wang Nan, and saw his eyes flickering with a light golden light, and then a thunderous voice reached his ears.
Wang Nan turned his head and glanced at Huo Yuhao. "Spiritual power can be used for more than just spirit skills. It has many other uses."
Huo Yuhao understood that Wang Nan had used his mental power to block the propagation of part of the sound, so that his communication with him could not be heard by others.
Thinking back to the fact that Wang Nan did not criticize him directly after interrupting him at the beginning, but sat next to him on the pretext of wanting to chat with him, Huo Yuhao's mind was churning, and an inexplicable emotion rose in his heart.
"Okay, Beibei can come down now." Wang Yan's voice sounded in the front row, "Next, Xu Sanshi, you go up. Yunluo Academy is not very strong, so you can all go up and get a feel for it. When the opponents get stronger, the preliminaries won't have a chance to play."
Seeing that Shrek Academy also changed its players, Yunluo Academy did not have any dissatisfaction. Since they were already prepared to lose, fighting with the disciples of the number one academy on the continent would be a good learning opportunity.
In this way, a round-robin match of the Fighting Spirit Competition was forcibly turned into a friendly exchange match. Each side replaced a player after each game. In the end, Dai Yuheng came on the court and ended the round-robin match with a one-on-three match.
