The ultimate transmission fear beast stands on the Douluo Continent.

Chapter 432 People Gathered Together
July 2644, 7 in the Douluo Calendar.

On this day, there were no competitions whose influence spread across the continent, no fierce clashes between Titled Douluo, and no tragic annihilation of entire families of major forces.

In the eyes of the vast majority of ordinary people whose lives are barely tolerable, today is undoubtedly just like yesterday, the day before yesterday, and the day before yesterday. It is an ordinary day that will not leave any trace in their memory.

The only exception may be Tiandou City.

When the bell echoing over the city rang nine times, there was still a full hour before the finals began. The eagerly awaited audience had already lined up at the entrance, eager to enjoy the feast prepared by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

It is indeed a feast. No matter what one’s social status is, everyone can find their own fun in the competition.

Ordinary people who came to join in the fun took advantage of the cheap tickets and got their first real glimpse into the world of soul masters.

An ordinary soul master who lacks talent and is destined to be mediocre all his life opens a corner of the curtain on the world of geniuses.

Young talents who have the opportunity to be promoted to Soul Saint or above will be able to see how big the gap is between themselves and the most outstanding young generation in the world today.

Needless to say, the major powers and the nobles in the city, even if they cannot get people into their own bowls, they can still identify which geniuses are worth investing in early and try to find opportunities to establish some relationships with them.

It doesn't matter if you can't establish a relationship with him, just remember his appearance. At worst, it can prevent the uneducated dude in your family from accidentally provoking a Dragon King/King of Soldiers/Ashura/God of War (the following is omitted) to come back and play the Nine Clans Candy Clan Game.

In addition to the easy-to-understand fun, every audience member can also experience the unprecedented hazy feeling brought about by a large number of rules flooding into the brain at once.

This unique hazy feeling is very magical, it is a wonderful pleasure that all beings are equal.

In the first round of the competition, due to the fact that the artificial soul bones and the fourth soul ring of ten thousand years were too dazzling, let alone the new competition system, even Xiao Wu, who was highly praised by Zhao Wuji, could only grab a small amount of screen time under the double-sided attack led by Gu You.

But in the second round without any external interference, even though Tiandou Royal Academy once again won against the powerful Lei Ting Academy, and Tianshui Academy used its best martial arts fusion skills against Chihuo Academy, they could not cover up the brilliance of the new competition system itself.

Everyone unexpectedly discovered that the new competition system, which was originally thought to be designed to allow more talented soul masters to have the opportunity to appear, actually made the competition itself more intense from another perspective.

Lu Qibin, the only control-type soul master in Shrek Academy.

He was sitting in the commentary booth during the match between Tianshui College and Chihuo College. After witnessing the siblings Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu breaking the rules to force two points and enter the team battle, he keenly realized the diversity of the new competition system.

Through the amplifying soul guide, his trembling voice echoed in the arena: "Wrong, wrong, we were wrong, everyone was wrong."

"After the completion of the "Soul Master Type" series, Master Gu You's second world-changing research achievement is not "Artificial Soul Bone". "Master Fighting Soul 1.0 Rules" is Master Gu You's second world-changing gem!"

"No wonder Master Gu You only dabbled in spirit master tactics. When the entire continent was immersed in the trend of studying tactics, he had already set his sights on a position higher than everyone else."

"Fighting Soul Strategy. No, I should call it Soul Master Strategy!"

Facts have proven that a control-type soul master with excellent tactics is not necessarily a control-type soul master with excellent strategy. The amazing genius of a well-known theoretical master directly reduced the value of control-type soul masters to zero.

This probably has nothing to do with race. Perhaps it is due to the defects in the fighting spirit rules, which has led to the fact that the soul master profession has not been able to enter the next era even after its development.

Ten thousand years ago, the Shrek Seven Devils played 7v7, and ten thousand years later, the new Shrek Seven Devils are still playing 7v7. No one knows what these soul masters are thinking.

Fortunately, a well-known theoretical master is a native of Douluo, so the ingenious plan of burning food and grass from behind can still be used. Otherwise, with his IQ, in his previous life, let alone becoming a military strategist, he would be afraid of causing trouble if he was sent to fill in the gaps.

Even though Wuhun Xingluoqi requires Lu Qibin to get used to analyzing the situation from a higher perspective, there is no way to change the fine tradition of "all tactics turned into strong offense" imposed on him by Douluo Continent.

Fortunately, although Lu Qibin did not know how to formulate strategies, he could understand them. The overall view he developed from playing chess made him the first person to see the mystery behind the new competition system.

When dealing with strong players, it can limit the performance of the strong players in the team to a certain extent, and effectively avoid the situation where a real core player is used to death and everyone else cannot play.

At the same time, it emphasizes the importance of the irreplaceable strong, perfectly interpreting the saying "good steel is used on the blade".

The past two rounds of competition have produced three different strategic schools of thought.

The first one is to put all the experts in the team in front of the team battle and quickly win the victory.

The second method is to use the "special competition quota" of two games to grab two points in the early stage and reserve other masters for the final team battle.

The third method is to put a few main players on the field at the beginning and adjust the order of appearance, which can not only strive for a quick victory, but also rely on team battles to reverse the situation after losing, which is a balanced style of play.

Combined with several variables such as the order of appearance and specific performance, the new competition system makes the two sides feel like they are playing chess. The outcome of each move is unknown, and guessing right or wrong can instantly change the outcome of the game.

Lu Qibin was completely dumbfounded. The fighting spirit competition that had been passed down for thousands of years had undergone drastic changes and had actually turned into a brain game similar to chess.

Is this really reasonable?

Not only Lu Qibin, but also some of the more sharp-minded soul masters in the audience also sensed the new trend brought by the competition system.

Tactics are methods of guiding and conducting battles, and they solve the problem of "how to do it". Strategy is the planning and tactics that guide the overall situation of the war, and it solves the problem of "what to do". The tactics of Blazing Academy seem to be of a large scale, but in fact they are a macro-strategy against Tianshui Academy.

Even Blazing Academy itself did not realize that the strategic advantage would be so obvious.

Unless Tianshui could predict the future and arrange two masters of the same level in the two-on-two match in advance, he would definitely give up the last two points to the brother-sister combination of Blazing Academy.

Assuming that Tianshui College had not revealed its soul fusion skills, relying on its soul power advantage, Chihuo College might not be able to get a glimpse of the new things prepared by Gu You in the finals.

As for victory, oh, my friend, friendship comes first, friendship comes first.

After Lu Qibin, a number of serious newspapers, led by Tiandou Weekly, keenly realized the value of the "Soul Master Strategy" and, under the intentional or unintentional instructions of the upper echelons, went all out to ferment it.

In just one day, in the evening on the streets of Tiandou City, nearly 70% of the conversation topics were about strategy.

After all, discussing tactics requires discussing details, but discussing strategy does not require too much detail. The general direction is like giving directions to a stranger, and everyone can do it by pointing casually.

In the long line outside the door, there was a short-haired girl wearing the Tianshui College uniform. She was bored and reached out to pat her companion on the shoulder: "What do you think, what strategy will we use in today's game?"

The girl's companion turned around with a surprised expression: "There are ten Soul Masters on the opposite side. We can only use the backhand strategy."

"Haha, I think so."

With two awkward laughs, the girl with short hair looked particularly helpless.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the most valuable thing for Tianshui College right now was the two twos in their hand. Facing the big cards in the hand of Tiandou Royal College, if they wanted to win, they had to maximize the value of the two twos in their hand.

That is to use the martial soul fusion skill in team battles.

And this leads to a question.

The last-hand strategy requires getting two points before the team battle begins. With only four Soul Masters, how can they pull the battle into the final team battle?

The opponent has a big hand that is sure to win. If Tianshui College is not careful, they may not even have a chance to play a card. Thoughts gradually drifted away, and the short-haired woman asked in confusion: "Tell me, can we really win the game like Senior Cai Siyu said in the newspaper?"

"of course can!"

Her companions clenched their fists and encouraged her: "I believe in her ability, she will definitely be able to do it."

"Don't even think about it, you can't win."

A sudden and sharp female voice ruthlessly interrupted their conversation.

A young woman wearing a baseball cap stood outside the team, holding a glass of freshly squeezed juice. She said calmly, "Four Soul Masters, plus a Soul Venerable who must use the martial soul fusion technique to maximize its value. Tiandou Royal Academy will definitely pay attention to the only two special competition spots, do their best to avoid martial soul fusion techniques, and strike hard in three-on-three and two-on-two situations."

"Gu You easily defeated Yu Tianxin in the last round, and killed Hu Yanli in the round before that. Even though Shui Bing'er is the strongest control-type spirit master of the younger generation in the empire, it would be difficult for her to gain any advantage in a head-on confrontation."

"In addition, Yu Tianheng, who is slightly stronger than Yu Tianxin among the Gemini."

The words were not finished, but they were enough to completely crush the already thin confidence of the two men.

Seeing this, the anger that she had been holding in for two days disappeared. The woman in the baseball cap snorted softly, gently lifted a few dark red hairs under the brim of her hat, and turned away without hesitation.

They were about to enter the venue, so she had to quickly reunite with her companions.

At the same time, on the other side of the queue, a man in a blue hoodie was waiting alone.

He lowered his head, raising his hands from time to time to adjust his hood, keeping his face hidden in the shadows at all times.

It's not that I'm allergic to the sun, I'm just too embarrassed to see people.

And in the shade of a tree farther away, a sweaty bearded man took out a slightly damp ticket from his pocket.

"Brother Dali, the ticket you asked for."

"Ah."

Hu Yanli took the ticket and put it in his pocket without even looking at it, looking down at the little brother he just met yesterday.

"What, what's wrong?"

Huyanli's eyes were a little creepy. Oscar looked down at his shoes, wondering if he had stepped on dog poop on the way here.

"The dark circles under my eyes are a bit heavy."

"Indeed, you are too thin."

After carefully examining Oscar, Hu Yanli finally confirmed his judgment. He took out a large piece of bread from his soul guide and stuffed it into Oscar's hand with the momentum of "Just try if you dare to refuse one".

“Eat it all.”

".Thank you, Dali brother."

Oscar was confused. He pinched the bread which was as thick as a brick and didn't understand what Hu Yanli meant.

Are there any connections between dark circles under eyes, being too thin, and having chubby cheeks?

I can only say that Oscar is essentially an indoor student, and his thinking is completely different from that of a sports student. If it were Gu You, Hu Yanli would probably be able to understand his thoughts as soon as he took out the bread.

Dark circles under eyes = kidney deficiency, kidney deficiency = weak body, weak body = not full, not full = need to eat more.

The equation is established, understand the applause.

Oscar, who didn't realize Hu Yanli's good intentions at all, blinked his eyes and silently lowered his head to eat.

When he woke up, he found that he was almost late. He was so anxious that he didn't even have breakfast. He washed his face and jogged all the way to the fighting arena.

If I don’t eat something to fill my stomach, I’m afraid I’ll be remembered in school history as “the first food-type soul master in history who fainted from hunger.”

Not as good as the "Big Sausage Uncle" in Soto City.

There is no way around it. The Tiandou Royal Academy Newspaper is still in its early stages of publication and there is a serious shortage of manpower in all aspects.

Gu You's pen name was not suitable for use, so Oscar had to endure the hardship and work overtime late into the night to get the article ready for printing and publication.

Why not eat sausages, you ask?
Are you kidding? What if the three-ring food spirit accidentally reveals the shameful identity of a "cook"?

Seeing Oscar lowering his head to eat, Huyanli also took out a large bag of bread and threw it into his mouth one by one.

A week ago, he would never have believed that he would become friends with a skinny guy who weighed less than 300 kilograms.

After Oscar finished eating the bread, Huyanli considerately handed him a bottle of water. Then he turned his head to look at the majestic Tiandou Great Fighting Arena, his eyes flashing with anticipation.

"Let's go, the game is about to start."

Pre-match press conference.

Since there were no other competitions to divert attention and with reporters coming in from surrounding cities, today's press conference had the largest number of participants.

It seems to have doubled compared to the battle against Xiangjia Academy.

As soon as Gu You sat down, the excited reporters raised their hands at the same time, hoping to be the first to ask a question.

Unfortunately, Gu You ignored their fiery gazes, adhered to the principle of "ladies first", and raised his hand to signal Shui Bing'er.

Shui Bing'er was not polite either. She raised her eyes slightly and pointed casually.

"Hello, I'm Wang Ye from Tiandou Weekly."

Amidst many jealous gazes, Wang Ye, who was sitting next to Cai Hangshun, stood up slightly excitedly.

"Mr. Shui Bing'er, including the former captain of Tianshui, Ms. 'Shuangqing' Cai Siyu, quite a few people outside believe that you and your teammates are very likely to win the finals. What do you think about this?"

As if she had prepared a speech in advance, Shui Bing'er answered without hesitation: "You know, we are facing the strongest Royal Fighting Team in history today. I am very grateful to Senior Cai Siyu for his support, but I cannot express any opinion until the result of the game is settled."

"But we must admit that today's match will be very, very, very difficult. Our opponents include ten Soul Masters and the strongest attacking class of the new generation. Everyone must be fully alert and be prepared for failure in advance."
