Chapter 281 Information Gap

“Oh?” Minghui became interested. “What are you betting on?”

“Let’s bet on who wins and who loses. Both sides will skip the individual competition and go directly into the team battle to decide the winner. And the bet.” Meng Hongchen said, “As long as you win, my brother and I can swear that we will never be your enemy in this life.”

“no sooner said than done!”

“Humph, if you’re afraid of losing a personal battle, just say so!” Wu Feng snorted coldly, “Captain, this bet has no practical significance for us at all.”

Meng Hongchen ignored Wu Feng and just looked at Minghui quietly.

“One more thing.” Minghui said calmly, “If the Sun-Moon Empire comes into conflict with our three original empires in the future, you two brothers and sisters must not go to the battlefield in person.”

“Personally, even if you become Titled Douluo in the future, I am not afraid! But for ordinary people, you may become the ones who bring disaster, and I don’t want to see this happen.”

Meng Hongchen turned around and looked at his brother Xiao Hongchen.

“Okay, it’s a deal!” Xiao Hongchen said decisively.

If Xu Tianran insists on them joining the war in the future, they can only serve as logistics. As soul mentors, they can still play a role even if they cannot go to the battlefield in person.

Besides, he was not a warlike person and did not want to go to the front line to fight if possible.

Minghui’s request could just be a reason for him and his sister to refuse to participate in the war directly in the future. Everything was done to help the Empire win the championship of this Soul Master Competition, and I think Xu Tianran could accept it.

“It’s a deal!” Minghui smiled and nodded slightly.

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen said no more and led the team away.

At this time, Zhang Lexuan led the team and approached.

“Xiaohui, you are betting that they will become Titled Douluo in the future.” Xu Sanshi said.

Without the title, the threat to the three former empires would be small. But if they succeeded and were promoted to the ninth-level soul mentor, it would be completely different.

Not to mention anything else, one person controlling a level nine fixed-type soul guide cannon is enough to affect a major battle.

He felt that Minghui was betting on the potential threat posed by the two.

“They do have the potential,” Minghui said.

I don’t even care who’s clone personally trained him. This is the future pillar of the Soul Hall that I trained!
“The lots have been drawn, let’s go.” Looking at the Xiao Hongchen siblings walking away, Minghui continued, “Tomorrow is the semi-finals, we have to make adjustments today.”

“You also have to be alert. The strength of the Heavenly Soul Royal Soul Master Academy is very strong. If you make a mistake, I think the chances of you being defeated are very high!”

“Humph, just take care of yourself.” Wang Dong’er said arrogantly, “From the previous competition, the seed team of the Sun Moon Empire should be equipped with soul guides that can resist mental attacks. The effect of your original martial soul has been greatly reduced.”

Minghui smiled and said, “In short, everyone should not be careless. Whoever fails will be embarrassed anyway!”

“Then I wish us all the best in meeting in the finals!” Xu Sanshi said with high spirits.

I’m afraid we won’t be able to meet each other. Minghui nodded slightly.

The two teams returned to the hotel together. On the way, Minghui sent a message to Zhang Lexuan and Xuanzi, “If my team wins tomorrow, the Sun Moon Empire will completely lose the qualification to compete for the championship. I guess they will most likely choose to take action that night.”

“Master Xuan, please contact him in advance tonight.”

“Okay.” Old Xuan agreed with Minghui’s point of view and responded via telepathy.

As long as the Soul Hall wins, no matter who wins the next match between Shrek Academy and Sky Soul Royal Academy, it will be a fierce battle. The teams that have not left will definitely not miss it. Therefore, they will definitely choose to stay in the hotel and take advantage of it all.

As for the team that had already left Mingdu, Mu Lao and Du Bushi had already confirmed that they had indeed been captured.

The ones who did it were from the Holy Spirit Church, and the place where they were being held had been discovered, so they were just waiting for them to come and rescue them. But right now, it was not a good idea to alert the enemy.

The two teams returned to the hotel and went back to their rooms to adjust their status.

Xuanzi went out quietly to make contact.

That night, several forces met again.

“The military strength of Mingdu has been thoroughly investigated.” Xu Jiujiu said, “The defense of the west gate, which is farthest from the competition venue, is the weakest.”

“The situation I discovered here is the same,” Princess Vina followed.

“It could be a strategy of surrounding three and leaving one behind.” Minghui pointed out without hesitation, “The contestants who came to participate this time are all elites from various forces, and the accompanying mentors are even more powerful, especially ours, who also brought titled combat forces. If they forcefully surround and kill us, and we fight back desperately as a team, it will inevitably cause a large number of casualties in Mingdu.”

“I think this is definitely not what they want to see.”

Xuan Zi understood immediately and frowned as he said, “If we intentionally leave a weak gap, we can let each team keep their luck and fight on their own to protect themselves, thus they cannot work together and lose their organizational ability.”

“In this case, the combat effectiveness will certainly be greatly reduced.”

Zhang Lexuan nodded slightly, “The Sun-Moon Empire should have guessed that we would investigate Mingdu’s defenses, even if they didn’t know that we already knew their plan.”

“After all, we are in the enemy’s capital. It is only natural to put ourselves in their shoes and take precautions.”

“Should we take advantage of the situation or break out in another direction?” said Xue Feng, the prince of the Tianling Empire.

Xu Jiujiu and Princess Vina looked at each other and there was silence for a while.

“Let’s take advantage of the situation.” Xuan Zi made the decision.

“Like I said before, some people won’t wake up until they suffer a big loss.”

“If they like to run around, let them run around. As long as we work together to break through, our chances of success are very high. As for the others, they can help us share some of the pressure. Anyway, we have already investigated the place where they are being held, and we will organize a rescue when it is safe. I think the Sun and Moon Empire will never expect that they would run back to save people right after they escaped.”

“That’s right.” Xue Feng nodded slightly, “Then let’s do as you say, Senior.”

The matter was settled and everyone went back to their rooms.

At the same time, on the other side, at Shrek Academy, Jing Hongchen finally found an opportunity to conceal his body and escape from Shrek Academy, and then flew towards the Sun Moon Empire with all his strength.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Su Lao discovered that Jing Hongchen had run away, but it was too late, so he had to send people to help immediately.

At this time, the semi-finals of the Soul Master Competition began. The venue was no longer in the suburbs of Mingdu, but in the central square of Mingdu. Civilians were no longer allowed to watch the game, on the grounds of avoiding congestion. As for the eliminated teams, the official thoughtfully arranged a viewing area. In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, they were separated from the local soul masters, facing each other from east to west.

In the middle is the competition stage, to the north are the VIP seats, and to the south is the entrance.

“.Next, please welcome Shrek Academy and their opponent, the Royal Academy of Tianhun Empire!” As the host announced loudly, the referees took their positions and Minghui watched the two teams go on stage.

The individual elimination rounds soon began. Just like the original novel, Shrek Academy was unstoppable at the beginning, until Long Aotian appeared on the stage. The situation immediately changed and they were directly suppressed. Even Huo Yuhao’s presence was useless. After all, there was no Ice Empress and Snow Empress to sacrifice, nor did they learn any Tang Sect secret skills, let alone inherit Moon’s Dominate the World. In the end, Long Aotian defeated four of them before they were eliminated.

There is no other way, pure waste.

Among them, Xu Sanshi took on most of the firepower, while Huo Yuhao’s mental attacks consumed a lot of Long Aotian’s energy.

“As expected of the successor of the Body Sect!” Xu Tianran and Zhongli Wu saw this and both frowned slightly.

The unique silver halo behind him showed that Long Aotian was from the Body Sect. To be able to reach the Soul Saint level at this age and to have such combat power, in their opinion, he was definitely the contemporary leader of the Body Sect. They had caught a big fish!
The Benti Sect really sent someone!
“Since he’s here, I must not let him go back!” Xu Tianran felt awe-inspiring in his heart.

The battle continued, and with Long Aotian’s exit, Shrek Academy finally recovered. Although the final result was three wins and four losses and the main players were injured, at least they made it to the team battle. In order to maintain his condition, Xuan Zi asked Ming Hui to help treat his injuries.

Long Aotian didn’t say anything about this, and Princess Vina didn’t stop him.

Because no one knows Long Aotian’s temper better than her. Like Minghui, Long Aotian doesn’t care much about winning or losing the game. He is more eager to hone himself with a hearty battle. However, there are still some regrets. It’s a pity that her main martial spirit development direction is more auxiliary. Otherwise, she would have eliminated Shrek Academy in the individual elimination match and directly qualified for the finals.

However, since the Sun-Moon Empire wasn’t planning on letting the game finish and there wouldn’t be a final, it didn’t matter.

On the other hand, Minghui also knew his senior brother’s temper, so he chose to take action.

Help all the players of both teams to heal their injuries, so that both teams can fight with all their strength, and also allow Long Aotian to have a good fight.

The battle began quickly.

With the help of Xu Sanshi’s defense and the harassment of other team members, Huo Yuhao and Wang Donger successfully completed the spirit fusion technique.

The rainbow of light.

“She looks exactly like Wang Qiuer!” The audience were all shocked.

At the same time, I was amazed at the fusion of the two men’s martial spirits, and the form turned out to be a stunning beauty!

“Could it be a woman dressed as a man?” Xu Tianran guessed in his heart, and suddenly remembered Wang Dong mentioned by Xiao Hongchen and his sister. Although he was dressed as a man in Shrek Academy, he was actually a woman. Now it seems that Wang Dong and Wang Dong’er are the same person.

And could this human form be Wang Dong’s true self?
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but glance at Wang Qiuer, wondering if these two people were sisters?
“It seems that I have one more target!” Xu Tianran curled his lips slightly, with a hint of greed in his eyes.

“A solo dance in the frost, a dress of light!” On the field, with a light shout from Huo Yuhao and Wang Donger, the female figure in the air took shape completely.

On the opposite side, Long Aotian was not afraid at all. Instead, excitement flashed in his eyes and he chose to go straight for it.

Then he was enveloped by the beam of light released by the Goddess of Light.

Minghui watched with his ability of clairvoyance, and saw that the powerful light energy was rapidly dissolving Long Aotian’s soul power.

In the end, Long Aotian was left with no successors and unfortunately lost.

Such a result also cast a layer of gloom on the faces of everyone in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. The leader also frowned and commented in a deep voice:
“The combined strength of the martial soul fusion skills formed by these two is no less than that of a peak soul douluo.”

“If we meet in the next finals, we must not let them successfully form a team.”

Xiao Hongchen and his sister both nodded.

On the competition stage, with the defeat of the absolute main force Long Aotian, the situation immediately became one-sided.

Tianhun Royal Academy ultimately lost.

The light faded, revealing the figures of Huo Yuhao and Wang Donger. Both of them looked pale, and it was obvious that they had consumed a lot of energy.

“We won!” Xie Huanyue, who was sitting on the sidelines, shouted excitedly.

“Shrek Academy wins!” The referee also announced the result of the game at this time.

“I didn’t expect you could actually combine a second martial soul fusion skill. This is beyond my expectation.” Princess Vina smiled bitterly, “Yuhao, this is your second martial soul, right? Two martial souls can form a martial soul fusion skill, which is really rare in the world!”

“We just realized it as well.” Huo Yuhao said modestly.

“Ah, maybe this is fate.” Princess Vina sighed, then smiled with relief, “Congratulations, you have successfully advanced to the finals!”

“Thank you!” Huo Yuhao said politely.

Princess Vina nodded slightly, helped the unconscious Long Aotian up, and turned to leave.

After the morning competition ended, the audience left with a lingering feeling. The Shrek players followed Xuanzi to find Minghui with lingering fear. As soon as they met, Xu Sanshi complained, “Fortunately, Princess Vina’s spiritual attribute spirit is not good at attacking, otherwise we would really be in trouble!”

“That Long Aotian is really powerful. If the team can have a hard control, they will definitely be invincible!”

Bei Bei nodded slightly, “We were able to win this time, and it was a lot of luck.”

“Princess Vina obviously knew that Yuhao and Wang Dong’er had used the martial soul fusion skill Golden Road in the last Soul Master Competition, so she subconsciously thought that the two could only form this martial soul fusion skill. The attack of the Golden Road is linear, and with Princess Vina’s original martial soul ability, it is not difficult to predict the attack trajectory in advance. Therefore, she did not make too many responses.”

“We win because of information gap, not hard power.”

“That’s true!” Xu Sanshi admitted generously.

“No matter what, winning is winning. Let’s all go back to the hotel and have a good rest.” Xuan Zi continued.

“Yes, Master Xuan.” Huo Yuhao nodded. He had consumed quite a lot of energy this time, and all his soul power was drained by Dong’er, who was in charge of the soul fusion technique.

Minghui didn’t say much and followed them back to the hotel. He then stayed in the room and adjusted himself.

In the afternoon, the game started on time.

Following the referee’s shout, Minghui immediately activated his sixth soul skill, Elemental Affinity, and used his affinity for water to gather the water elements in the air. At the same time, he opened his domain to condense the water vapor into ice. In just a blink of an eye, the entire team was covered in thick cold fog. The next moment, he activated the simulated soul skill to create an illusion, making the fog larger and thicker.

“No one can be seen!” All the contestants from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy frowned.

“Then attack the entire arena in front!” Xiao Hongchen said in a deep voice.

“Okay!” Upon hearing this, the team members all used their full strength to activate the soul guides equipped on their battle armors, spitting out tongues of fire one after another.

Xiao Hongchen and his sister quickly held hands in the back, and a dazzling light shone from the two of them. At the same time, in the depths of the fog ahead.

There is golden light rhythmically.
