Chapter 241 Failure and Hope (VIII)
On the competition stage, Wu Feng fell in a pool of blood, with blood slowly oozing from his back, shoulders, and various large and small wounds on his body.

And Rachel, still with a calm expression, stood in the center of the competition stage.

After a brief silence, Rachel slowly said, "I think it's time to announce the results of the competition."

Show weakness to the enemy and then launch a thundering attack. Even though he knew that this tactic was risky and that he himself would even risk being seriously injured, Rachel still did it. Rachel's ruthlessness was not only towards the enemy, but also towards herself.

Under everyone's gaze, Rachel looked at Wang Qiuer opposite her and said, "Wang Qiuer, as the captain, if you don't take action, Shrek will lose."

"This guy!" Dai Huabin was furious at this scene, "Damn it..."

"Captain, no one of us can defeat Rachel anymore. If Zhu Lu gets injured again, the Nether White Tiger will..." Ning Tian looked at Wang Qiuer worriedly.

Wang Qiuer nodded and said, "I understand."

The fifth person to appear in Shrek is Wang Qiuer!

As both are six-ringed Soul Emperors, there is a huge gap between Wang Qiuer and Rachel. This is a completely one-sided crushing situation. If Rachel had not admitted defeat quickly, she would probably have to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair.

Looking at Wang Qiuer on the stage, Huo Yuhao had a complicated expression. He had to admit that in the battle between Tang Sect and Shrek, Wang Qiuer, who was fully empowered by Ning Tian, ​​was stronger than himself. Even if he used the awakened soul skills of the Body Sect, he could not suppress Wang Qiuer.

With Wang Qiuer's appearance on the court, this battle basically came to an end. In all the previous individual elimination rounds, once Wang Qiuer came on the court, subsequent opponents tried to weaken Wang Qiuer's strength through a round-robin battle, but without exception, they were swept away by Wang Qiuer and pushed all the way.

Rachel lost...

The soul guide protection shield was shattered by the golden dragon spear and he was defeated completely.

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 lose, then in the subsequent team battles, we will be reduced to the same situation as Shrek. This battle is about the outcome."

A battle that determines the outcome...

Everyone looked at Luo Yu, and at this moment, a feeling of powerlessness arose in their hearts.

Perhaps they once thought that Luo Yu would sweep away everything, but at this moment, they hesitated.

The difficulty is too great, and Wang Qiuer is exceptionally strong. From the start of the competition to now, Wang Qiuer has entered the finals with a perfect record.

Under her leadership, Shrek became an absolute dark horse!

When two dark horses meet, the winner will depend on the two people who can influence the outcome of the battle.

If Luoyu wins, then Shrek will be completely defeated in the following team competition because no one can withstand Luoyu's attack.

If Luo Yu is defeated, there will be no one to resist Wang Qiuer's attack. If they use the martial soul fusion technique of Hongchen's attachment to life on Wang Qiuer, it will be difficult for them to resist the Netherworld White Tiger that is blessed with its full strength!
This is the cruel reality!

Victory or defeat depends on this battle!
Looking at the young man who slowly walked onto the competition stage, a trace of solemnity suddenly flashed across Wang Qiuer's eyes.

"Both parties please tell us your names!" The referee looked at the two of them and spoke slowly.

"Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, Luo Yu." Luo Yu looked at Wang Qiuer calmly. He saw all of her changes.

"Shrek Academy, Wang Qiuer." Wang Qiuer was still wearing a veil. Even the last battle failed to take off her veil.

Looking at Wang Qiuer opposite him, Luo Yu slowly said, "You made a wrong decision."

Wang Qiuer's cold voice sounded, "You also made a wrong decision."

"Really? That doesn't necessarily mean my decision is wrong, because I believe in my teammates." Luo Yu looked at the hopeful people behind him and answered slowly.

…………

Su Yu in the audience felt very pressured after watching this scene. Before the fight even started, his clone and Wang Qiuer had already started to attack each other mentally.

As the original body, Su Yu was not very clear about the outcome of this battle, because if he remembered correctly, Luo Yu had inherited at least half of his physical fitness, and his strength was also strong enough. Luo Yu's greatest advantage was his soul guide.

Judging from strength alone, after losing the Snow Empress, Huo Yuhao’s strength is still not comparable to 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 anything, and did not answer Wang Donger's question.

"Maybe Wang Qiuer will win." Beibei looked at Wang Qiuer, with a faint golden light surging 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 new players are completely different from the last qualifying players. They don't even have many legendary experiences in the academy. It seems that they were trained in secret."

Huo Yuhao also had a bitter look on his face, and said, “Rather than saying it was secret training, I am more inclined to believe that it was Rachel who brought them up. Rachel has always appeared as the vice-captain, and even Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen obey Rachel’s arrangements. As for Luo Yu, he rarely shows up. Logically, as the captain, he should be responsible for the command of the team, but he seems to be clearing obstacles for Rachel.”

Listening to Huo Yuhao's words, Bei Bei asked back: "You mean, Luo Yu is not the captain in name only, but Rachel is? Luo Yu's role is just to help Rachel clear obstacles, or in other words, to serve as the final trump card to provide powerful combat power for the Sun Moon Team?"

"We can't rule out this possibility, because Luo Yu, as the team leader, rarely shows up. Huo Yuhao's analysis is correct." Xu Sanshi also expressed his support for Huo Yuhao's point of view.

“But my intuition tells me that things are far from as simple as I thought.” As a spiritual soul master and the host of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Huo Yuhao has an almost abnormal accuracy in his intuition.

"If it's really that simple, then the question is, why do these people have enough respect for Luo Yu? If Luo Yu is just strong, it's impossible for them to have such tacit cooperation even if Luo Yu is on the field. However, the appearance of Luo Yu is too abnormal. He and the team led by Rachel are also abnormal. Their fighting style is contrary to the tradition of the Sun-Moon Empire. They are more like walking ahead of us. They have begun to merge martial spirits and soul guides. However, this fighting style does not seem to be something that the Sun-Moon Empire can actively change."

Where exactly did the problem arise? What Huo Yuhao was worried about was not Luo Yu, but how this group of team members were trained.

If the Sun-Moon Empire is really ahead of the three major empires and Shrek in terms of the integration of martial spirits and soul guides, then the three major empires will really be swept away by the Sun-Moon Empire's new soul guide army in a few decades.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao hopes that this group of selected players are the product of accidental occurrence rather than a planned product!
“Yuhao, do you mean that they are more like the fighting style that our academy is researching, which is the fusion of martial spirits and soul guides?” Bei Bei looked at Huo Yuhao and asked.

In terms of soul guidance, the Sun-Moon Empire was ahead of the three major empires by hundreds or even thousands of years. The No. 1 experimental subject alone proved that the Sun-Moon Empire was ahead of the three major empires in cutting-edge soul guidance technology by nearly a thousand years!

However, Huo Yuhao and the others did not know this news.

"Although I agree with Yuhao's idea, have you ever thought about this question? If we compare Luoyu to me, does Luoyu's existence become more reasonable?"

Su Yu knew that if they continued to think in this way, the next step would be for them to ask the college to let him go back to teach.

Because in terms of the integration of soul guidance and martial soul, Su Yu is the only one in Shrek who has achieved the pinnacle, and he has also mastered many techniques that the academy has not yet mastered.

The three great empires and Shrek all know the value contained in Su Yu, which is a huge treasure that can change the development of the country.

Beibei was stunned for a long time before she slowly said, "You are right..."

"If that's the case, then it's a reasonable explanation. However, I want to know more about how they managed to have this group of regular players surpass the topics we at Shrek are currently researching." He Caitou slapped his head and asked the core question.

Su Yu said he didn't want to answer this question, "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 the strategy to enhance the national strength of the Sun-Moon Empire. Moreover, at the current speed, in a dozen or twenty years, Luo Yu will be the next Titled Douluo of the Sun-Moon Empire, and will most likely become a Super Douluo!” Murderous intent emerged in Huo Yuhao’s eyes.

“If that’s the case, then Luo Yu must not be allowed to stay. If he is left here, he will become the biggest hidden danger to the three empires!” Xu Sanshi knew what Huo Yuhao was planning. He knew very well that if that was really the case, Luo Yu’s role would only be even greater.

"If possible, after the competition, I want Shrek to join forces with the Body Sect to kill Luo Yu!"

Huo Yuhao’s words frightened Su Yu. Oh no, he had to eat the melon on his head.

"This is not a good idea. If we really do this, the Sun-Moon Empire will have an excuse to start a war. At that time, the three empires will suffer even greater losses."

Su Yu looked at Huo Yuhao and wanted to stop him.

Whether it was Huo Yuhao, Bei Bei or Xu Sanshi, the think tanks of these three teams all revealed murderous intent.

Bei Bei looked at Su Yu and said coldly: "Even if it may cause the three empires to go to war with the Sun-Moon Empire, I will still make my suggestion to the academy. If such a Super Douluo appears in the Sun-Moon Empire in a few decades, no one will be able to match him. Once he becomes a Super Douluo, he will also become a level 10 soul guide. At that time, combined with the soul guides of the Sun-Moon Empire, once he is placed on the battlefield of the three empires, it will be an unprecedented disaster!"

Looking at Bei Bei's serious expression, Su Yu knew that his clones had been targeted, and it was definitely not just Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei.

The three empires know what the appearance of Luo Yu means, so as long as today's competition is over, the entire Mingdu will become a huge battlefield!

And the core of the battlefield is Luo Yu!
Su Yu never thought that Luo Yu's appearance would bring about such a chain reaction. At the beginning, he only wanted to use Luo Yu's identity to infiltrate the upper echelons of the Sun and Moon Empire.

But he overlooked one point, that is, the emergence of a soul guide genius with outstanding talent that surpassed all his contemporaries would herald the early outbreak of the war between the three empires and the Sun-Moon Empire!

Or perhaps, it indicates that the balance of war will tilt towards the Sun-Moon Empire!

The reason why the Sun-Moon Empire dared not to start a war was because the three empires had too much advantage in terms of Title Douluo. Moreover, the Sun-Moon Empire did not have a single Super Douluo, and it had to rely on the cooperation of the Holy Spirit Church to barely support itself in terms of Title Douluo.

In other words, this is a dynamic balance.

Once this balance is broken, everything will change, and change means the beginning of war!
"You won't lose, so you mean that Poseidon Pavilion also has such a plan, right?" Su Yu asked Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei.

Bei Bei nodded. "After this competition started, I reported this to the academy. So, if something unexpected happens after the competition, the three empires will also target Luo Yu."

"What about the Body Sect? Didn't they also reach an agreement with the three empires?"

Su Yu continued to ask Huo Yuhao, he wanted to know the actions of the Body Sect. If the Body Sect’s decision was the same, then it was likely that the target of the three empires was not the Holy Spirit Sect, but Luo Yu!

"My teacher said that once the game is over, they will immediately attack Mingdu. They will create chaos in Mingdu as quickly as possible. Then they will try to sneak into the palace again and assassinate the crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire. Not only that, Luo Yu and the players selected this time are their targets!"

It’s too cruel. The Benti Sect always does big things!

Several hundred years ago, he sneaked into the Xingdou Great Forest and killed a hundred thousand year soul beast, which resulted in the outbreak of a beast tide. Last time he attacked Mingde Hall, and this time he even wanted to assassinate Xu Tianran!
"Wait, the one leading the team this time won't be Du Bu Si, right?" Su Yu thought for a moment and asked.

Huo Yuhao nodded and continued, “The leader of the team this time is still the Sect Master, because he is the only one who is at the top level. If it were someone else, the chances of success would not be that high. If they succeed this time, the Sun-Moon Empire will not be able to start a war again for at least a few hundred years.”

Within a few hundred years?

What a big chess game this time in Mingdu!
