Chapter 182 The Game of Politics Thirteen, fifteen, twenty-five, thirty. Zhou Qing got to know these four teams in the past two days. Each team had two or more great soul masters, especially Team 30, which was led by a level 33 soul master. As for the remaining six team members, three had soul powers around level 28 or 29, and the remaining three only had one ring, but their soul powers were between level 18 and 20, very close to great soul masters. Moreover, this team of seven has extremely good coordination among themselves. I think they have been working together for three to five years or more, so they are not easy to deal with. "By the way, Brother Qing, Brother San, Sister Xiaowu, and Teacher Romantina, should we go to Teacher Mohen to discuss tactics?" Wang Sheng knew how powerful Zhou Qing and the others were. Even without using any martial spirits or spirit skills, they were able to defeat two teams. Moreover, their Team No. 18 was lucky enough to be given a bye, so they could rest and wait for the opportunity to strike. However, Wang Sheng also saw the strength of Team 30. In his opinion, in the end, Teacher Mo Hen would still be needed as the main force to defeat that Soul Master. "No need to trouble Teacher Mo Hen. We can just improvise when the time comes." Zhou Qing has three reasons for saying this. First, although Mo Hen is a great soul master, he has little combat experience and does not usually participate in soul fighting competitions. A small city like Notting City does not have a soul fighting arena... Based on the above reasons, taking students to the Notting Soul Hunting Forest to hunt soul beasts is the limit of what Teacher Mo Hen can do.
If he really had to fight Soul Master head-on, Zhou Qing felt that he would not last more than ten rounds. Secondly, the main force of Team 18 has always been him, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Romantina. As long as the four of them don't fail, everything will be fine. Thirdly, as I said before, the team is formed temporarily. No matter how cleverly the tactics are discussed, if there is no tacit cooperation between the two teams, everything will be in vain. It is better to follow the previous method and assign corresponding tasks according to everyone's strengths. It is the best choice for everyone to complete their assigned combat tasks. But in order to take care of Wang Sheng's self-esteem, Zhou Qing did not say these three points, but just said: "We don't have to win, the important thing is to participate. If we can learn the essence of fighting, or some spiritual insights, it would be even better." "Just like you, Brother Wang, haven't you already gained the most?" "You can't give up on becoming a soul master! Those lovely part-time students behind you are all looking forward to your role model!" Wang Sheng turned around and looked at the part-time students who were eating and imagining their future careers as soul masters, and his heart was touched. At the same time, Wang Sheng was very grateful to Zhou Qing. It was he who made him firm in his thoughts: "Brother Qing~" However, Zhou Qing held down Wang Sheng's face as he was about to hug him, and said with some disdain: "Don't get too close, I'm a little sensitive, especially after the close contact with Tang San before." "what?" Wang Sheng was stunned and didn't react. "What do you mean by close contact?" Tang San was full of black lines, "Others will misunderstand? Besides, I don't really want to hold hands with a man." Wang Sheng's eyes gradually became strange... ··· Early the next morning. Qingzhu Zhu came back with Zhu Ma and reunited with Zhou Qing and others. Outside Nottingham Square, the teams that won the third round yesterday, 13, 15, 25, and 30, competed in the fourth round. Among them, the 30th and 25th teams were promoted. The next round to be held in the afternoon was the final fifth round - the 30th, 25th, and the lucky 18th, who were given a bye, would compete against each other to determine the champion, runner-up, and third place. The champion of the friendly tournament will receive a storage soul guide, which Tang San has already named "The Moon Shining in the Twelve Floors". In addition, there is an opportunity to challenge members of the Star Luo Royal Team. If you are recognized, you will have the possibility of joining the Star Luo Royal Academy. "Since only the champion has this opportunity, why do we have to divide it into champion, runner-up and third place?" Xiao Wu suddenly thought of this question.
"Um...if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have reacted." Romantina was also confused, wondering why the top three had to be chosen. Tang San had a pretty good understanding of human nature, so he said, "People are always more competitive. If we can get the top three, even if we don't get the attention of the Star Luo Royal Team, this friendly match is hosted by the leader of the Star Luo Royal Team. If we tell others about it, it might get the attention of some nobles in small cities." "I think it's just the final rules of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition that were moved here." Zhou Qing said. The rules for the finals of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition are to adopt a knockout mechanism, but this "friendly match" between Notting City and Falling Star City is bound to be simplified. The final of the elite competition consists of six rounds. The fifth round is an individual competition to determine the first place, and the remaining two teams will determine the second place. Then in the sixth round, a team competition will be held, and the second and first place determined in the fifth round will compete for the final championship. Everything about this friendly match was kept simple, even the venue was made from local materials, using the square in the Nottingham Center. The final was naturally between three teams, playing two against each other to determine the winner. "This format is not very friendly to soul masters with slow soul power recovery." Tang San was sure that in order to end this friendly match as soon as possible, Zhong Dingxiu would definitely not give the soul masters who finished the battle too much rest time. Perhaps the next battle would have to begin less than thirty minutes after the previous battle. "It can be considered a test of the soul master's endurance and spirit." Zhou Qing sighed. Who made Zhong Dingxiu a Soul Saint? The initiative of this friendly match has always been in his hands, so naturally he has the final say in everything! "Isn't this good for us?" Xiao Wu thought that this rule was good. After all, in their Team 18, Zhou Qing, Tang San, Romantina, and herself, all had good recovery abilities, especially Zhou Qing, who had the best physical strength and could definitely carry out long-term combat. "That's true." That being said, Zhou Qing just couldn't be happy. Whether it is this untimely "friendly match" or other elite competitions for advanced soul master academies across the continent, aren't they essentially "political games" among the top leaders of the major forces who have already divided up the pie? Especially the latter, the top leaders of various forces are competing to produce the so-called "elite soul masters" in order to get a larger share of the pie from the top leaders of other forces. After all, most civilian soul masters are unable to participate in this kind of game. After participating in this kind of game, talented civilian soul masters, if they do not have extraordinary trump cards and confidence, can only choose one from Tiandou, Xingluo, and Wuhun Hall. Even if they do not clearly specify which force to join, they must show their attitude towards that force. That is, you don’t have to choose to join directly, but your attitude must be ambiguous. Just like the upper three sects and the lower four sects, they are also independent sects on the surface and will not obey the orders of any empire or the Spirit Hall, but they all express closeness to Tiandou, Xingluo, or one of the Spirit Hall, and even directly support a certain force. For example, before the Haotian Sect was closed, it supported the Xingluo Empire; the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family still supports the Tiandou Empire. Only the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has not publicly announced which major force it supports. However, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is personally close to the Tiandou Empire and is the teacher of the current crown prince. Ning Fengzhi is also an honorary elder of the Spirit Hall, so his attitude is very ambiguous... Happy National Day! (End of this chapter)
