Chapter 241 Crushing Defeat and Hope
Chapter 241 Crushing Defeat and Hope (Part 8)
On the competition stage, Wu Feng collapsed into a pool of blood. Blood was slowly seeping from his back, shoulders, and the numerous wounds all over his body.
Rachel, however, remained calm and stood in the center of the playing area.
After a brief silence, Rachel slowly spoke, "I think it's time to announce the results of the match."
He feigned weakness before launching a swift and decisive attack, even though he knew this tactic was risky and could even result in serious injury to himself. Rachel's ruthlessness extended not only to his enemies but also to himself.
Bathed in everyone's gaze, Rachel looked at Wang Qiu'er opposite her and said, "Wang Qiu'er, as the captain, if you don't step in, Shrek Academy will lose."
"That guy!" This scene enraged Dai Huabin, his eyes blazing with fury. "Damn it..."
"Captain, we have no one left who can defeat Rachel. If Zhu Lu gets injured again, then the Netherworld White Tiger will..." Ning Tian looked at Wang Qiu'er with concern.
Wang Qiu'er nodded and said, "I understand."
The fifth person to appear in Shrek Academy is Wang Qiu'er!
Despite both being six-ring Soul Emperors, Wang Qiu'er and Rachel were worlds apart. It was a completely one-sided crushing defeat. If Rachel hadn't surrendered quickly, she would probably be spending the rest of her life in a wheelchair.
Looking at Wang Qiu'er on the stage, Huo Yuhao had a complicated expression. He had to admit that in the battle between Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, Wang Qiu'er, who was fully empowered by Ning Tian, was stronger than him. Even if he used the awakened soul skill of the Body Sect, he could not suppress Wang Qiu'er.
With Wang Qiu'er on the field, this battle was basically coming to an end. In all the previous individual elimination matches, once Wang Qiu'er entered the arena, her subsequent opponents all tried to weaken her strength through a series of matches, but without exception, they were all swept aside by Wang Qiu'er and pushed all the way through.
Rachel lost...
His soul-guided protective shield was shattered by the Golden Dragon Gun, resulting in a complete and utter defeat.
Just as Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen were about to stand up, Luo Yu waved his hand and slowly said, "Leave it to me. If I also lose, then in the team battles to come, we will be reduced to the same level as Shrek Academy. This battle is about the outcome."
A battle that will determine the outcome...
As everyone looked at Luo Yu, a sense of powerlessness arose in their hearts.
Perhaps they once thought that Luo Yu would sweep everything aside, but at this moment, they hesitated.
The difficulty was too great, and Wang Qiu'er's strength was exceptionally strong. From the start of the competition until now, Wang Qiu'er has entered the finals with a perfect record.
Under her leadership, Shrek became an absolute dark horse!
Two dark horses have met; the outcome depends on these two individuals who can currently influence the course of the battle.
If Luo Yu wins, Shrek will suffer a complete defeat in the following team match because they will be unable to withstand Luo Yu's attacks.
If Luo Yu loses, then no one will be able to stop Wang Qiu'er's attack. If they use the Martial Soul Fusion Technique of Red Dust on Wang Qiu'er, then they will have a hard time resisting the Netherworld White Tiger that is fully empowered!
This is the harsh reality!
Whether we win or lose, let's wait and see in this battle!
As she watched the young man slowly walk onto the competition stage, a look of seriousness suddenly flashed in Wang Qiu'er's eyes.
"Both sides, state your names!" the referee said slowly, looking at the two.
"Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, Luo Yu." Luo Yu calmly looked at Wang Qiu'er, having witnessed all her changes.
"Shrek Academy, Wang Qiu'er." Wang Qiu'er was still wearing a veil, which she had not been able to remove even during the previous battle.
Looking at Wang Qiu'er across from her, Luo Yu slowly said, "You made a wrong decision."
Wang Qiu'er's icy voice rang out, "You also made a wrong decision."
"Is that so? It doesn't necessarily mean my decision is wrong, because I believe in my teammates." Luo Yu looked at the hopeful crowd behind her and answered slowly.
…………
This scene put a lot of pressure on Su Yu, who was watching from below the stage. Before the fight even started, his clone and Wang Qiu'er had already begun a moment of mutual mental attacks.
Whether this battle would end well or not, Su Yu, as the original body, was not very clear, because if he remembered correctly, Luo Yu had inherited at least half of his physical attributes and was also strong enough. Luo Yu's greatest advantage lay in his soul tool.
Judging solely from strength, Huo Yuhao, even after losing Xue Di, is still no match for Luo Yu.
"Who do you think will win?" Wang Dong'er asked, looking at the two people on the competition stage.
Su Yu looked at the two of them, smiled without saying a word, and did not answer Wang Dong'er's question.
"Perhaps, Wang Qiu'er will win." Bei Bei looked at Wang Qiu'er, and a faint golden light surged in his eyes.
He Caitou looked at Luo Yu and said with a wry smile, "This year's Sun Moon Empire is too strong. The newly formed team members are not at all like the previous preliminaries. They don't even have much legendary experience in the academy. It's more like they were secretly trained."
Huo Yuhao also looked bitter and said, "Rather than saying he was secretly trained, I'm more inclined to believe he was trained by Rachel. Rachel has always appeared as the vice-captain, and even Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen obey Rachel's orders. As for Luo Yu, he rarely shows his face. Logically speaking, as the captain, he should be responsible for commanding the team, but he seems to be clearing obstacles for Rachel."
Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Bei Bei countered, "You mean, Luo Yu isn't actually the official captain, but Rachel is? Luo Yu's role is just to help Rachel clear obstacles, or perhaps, as a last resort to provide powerful combat strength for the Sun Moon Team?"
"It's possible that Luo Yu is the captain, because he rarely shows up. Yu Hao's analysis is correct on this point." Xu Sanshi also expressed his support for Huo Yu Hao's point of view.
"However, my intuition tells me that things are far more complicated than I thought."
Huo Yuhao, as a spirit-type Soul Master and the host of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, possesses an almost abnormal level of accuracy in his intuition.
"If it were really that simple, then the question arises: why do these people show such respect to Luo Yu? If Luo Yu were simply powerful, it would be impossible for them to have such perfect teamwork even when he's on the field. However, Luo Yu's appearance is too abnormal. He and the team led by Rachel are also abnormal; their fighting style goes against the traditions of the Sun Moon Empire. It's as if they've already moved ahead of us. They've begun to fuse their Martial Soul with their Soul Guidance. But this kind of fighting style doesn't seem like something the Sun Moon Empire would actively change."
The problem wasn't with Luo Yu, but with how this group of team members had been trained.
If the Sun Moon Empire has truly surpassed the three great empires and Shrek Academy in the integration of martial souls and soul guides, then the three great empires will indeed be swept away by the Sun Moon Empire's new soul guide legion in a few decades.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao hopes that this batch of regular players is a product of chance rather than a planned one!
"Yuhao, do you mean that they are more like the combat style of Martial Soul and Soul Guidance Fusion that our academy is researching?" Beibei asked Huo Yuhao.
In terms of soul guidance, the Sun Moon Empire was hundreds, even thousands of years ahead of the three great empires. The existence of Experiment No. 1 alone proved that the Sun Moon Empire was nearly a thousand years ahead of the three great empires in cutting-edge soul guidance technology!
However, Huo Yuhao and the others were unaware of this information.
"While I agree with Yuhao's idea, have you considered this: if we compare me to Luoyu, wouldn't Luoyu's existence become more reasonable?"
Su Yu knew that if they continued to think in such a distorted way, the next thing they would do was to ask the academy to let him return to teach.
In terms of the fusion of soul guides and martial souls, only Su Yu at Shrek Academy has reached the pinnacle, and he has also mastered many techniques that the academy has not yet mastered.
The three great empires and Shrek Academy all knew the value of Su Yu; he was a huge treasure that could change the development of a nation.
Beibei was stunned, and after a long while, she slowly said, "You're right..."
"If that's the case, then it makes sense. But I'm more curious about how they managed to get this batch of starting players to surpass the research topics that Shrek Academy is currently studying." He Caitou slapped his forehead and asked the core question.
Su Yu declined to answer the question, saying, "I don't know."
"If this person is also Luo Yu, then the three great empires of the future will basically suffer a devastating blow from the Sun Moon Empire in a few decades, because he possesses a strategy that can enhance the Sun Moon Empire's national strength. Moreover, judging from the current speed, in ten or twenty years, Luo Yu will be the next Title Douluo of the Sun Moon Empire, and he is very likely to break through to become a Super Douluo!" Killing intent surged in Huo Yuhao's eyes.
"If that's the case, then Luo Yu absolutely cannot be kept. If he is kept, he will become the biggest hidden danger of the three great empires!" Xu Sanshi knew Huo Yuhao's plan. He knew very well that if that were the case, Luo Yu's role would only become greater.
"If possible, I'd like Shrek Academy to join forces with the Body Sect to kill Luo Yu after the tournament ends!"
Huo Yuhao's words startled Su Yu. Oh no, he'd gotten himself caught up in the drama.
"That's not a good idea. If we really do that, the Sun and Moon Empire will have an excuse to start a war, and then the three great empires will suffer even greater losses."
Su Yu looked at Huo Yuhao, wanting to say something to stop him.
Whether it was Huo Yuhao, Bei Bei, or Xu Sanshi, all three of the team's strategists revealed murderous intent.
Bei Bei looked at Su Yu and coldly said, "Even if it might cause war between the three great empires and the Sun Moon Empire, I still want to make my suggestion to the academy. If the Sun Moon Empire produces a Super Douluo like this in a few decades, none of us will be his match. Once he becomes a Super Douluo, he will also become a level ten Soul Master. At that time, combined with the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Tools, if he is placed on the battlefield of the three great empires, it will be an unprecedented disaster!"
Seeing Bei Bei's serious expression, Su Yu knew that his clone had been targeted, and it was definitely not just Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei.
The three great empires knew what the appearance of someone like Luo Yu meant, so once today's competition ended, the entire Ming capital would become a huge battlefield!
And the core of the battlefield is falling feathers!
Su Yu never expected that Luo Yu's appearance would bring about such a chain reaction. At first, he only thought about using Luo Yu's identity to infiltrate the upper echelons of the Sun Moon Empire.
However, he overlooked one point: the emergence of a soul-guiding genius with exceptional talent, surpassing everyone of his time, would foreshadow an earlier war between the three great empires and the Sun Moon Empire!
Or perhaps, this foreshadows that the scales of war will tip in favor of the Sun and Moon Empire!
The reason the Sun Moon Empire has hesitated to launch a war is because the three major empires have a significant advantage in terms of Title Douluo. Furthermore, the Sun Moon Empire lacks even a single Super Douluo and relies on the cooperation of the Holy Spirit Sect to barely maintain its position in terms of Title Douluo.
In other words, this is a dynamic equilibrium.
Once this balance is broken, everything will change, and the change will be the start of war!
"You mean you won't lose because the Sea God Pavilion has the same plan?" Su Yu asked, looking at Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei.
Beibei nodded. "I reported this to the academy after the competition started. So, if anything changes after the competition, the three great empires will also target Luo Yu."
"What about the Body Sect? Could it be that they've also reached an agreement with the three great empires?"
Su Yu continued to ask Huo Yuhao, wanting to know the Body Sect's actions. If the Body Sect's decision was also like this, then it was highly likely that the three great empires' target was not the Holy Spirit Sect, but Luo Yu!
"My teacher said that once the competition ends, they will immediately take action against Mingdu. They will create chaos in Mingdu as quickly as possible. Then they will try to infiltrate the palace again and assassinate the Crown Prince of the Sun Moon Empire. Not only that, Luo Yu and the current team members are also their targets!"
That's ruthless! The Body Sect only ever does big things!
Hundreds of years ago, he sneaked into the Star Dou Great Forest and killed a 100,000-year-old soul beast, which resulted in a beast tide. Last time, he attacked Mingde Hall, and this time he even thought of assassinating Xu Tianran!
"Wait, is the one leading the team this time Poison Undying?" Su Yu thought for a moment and asked.
Huo Yuhao nodded and continued, "This time, the sect leader is leading the team again, because he is the only peak Douluo. If it were someone else, the chances of success would not be so high. Once we succeed this time, the Sun Moon Empire will not be able to launch another war for at least several hundred years."
Within a few hundred years?
Just how big a game of chess was played in Mingdu this time!
