But after Bai Yu said that they only looked like it, and that it wasn't actually true, Yu Xiaogang thought about it carefully again.
(TL: basically mc is talking about their development focus, they called it extreme style or wtv but their focus is totally wrong, not to mention that an Extreme/ultimate attribute does exist in douluo and its completely different)
Finally, to everyone's surprise, it turned out that what Bai Yu said seemed to make sense. The current Four Elements Academy only had the same martial soul attribute; in other aspects, they seemed to complement each other in various ways.
"It can't be said to be fake, but it can be said that the ultimate version is not pure. Their students have the same martial soul attributes, but their development paths are not the same."
"Just look at the Elephant Armored Academy. They are pure extreme style, all defensive, with a simple system and no variation."
(TL: again the extreme style theyre referring to is not in attributes but in their combat styles, as in someone goes pure defense while another is a pure attack type, like a glass cannon)
"But the Four Elements Academies are different. Their teams have no shortage of control, strong attack, agility attack, and support."
"But their teamwork is only balanced; when it comes to individual development, they are still extreme. That's why I say their extreme approach isn't pure."
Bai Yu took over the topic and gave them a brief explanation of the Four Elements Academy.
The Shrek team finally understood: the teamwork was all about fancy tricks, but the individual performance was still up to the limit.
Then they remembered what Bai Yu had said about the Elephant Armored Academy! This academy is really stubborn. While other teams are changing their team structures, they are sticking to their defensive stance and remaining unchanged.
Over the next five days, Shrek Academy fought five battles without a single defeat, and they didn't even encounter the Elephant Armored Academy in their second battle.
Salas knew that Bai Yu was here, and although he didn't understand what Bai Yu was doing, he didn't want to cause trouble for himself by sending someone to annoy Shrek.
On the sixth day, Shrek Academy faced their first tough battle, and their draw sheet clearly showed Blazing Academy as their opponent.
"The Blazing Fire Team has two Soul Masters: Captain Huo Wushuang, who is level 42, and Vice Captain Huo Wu, who is level 43. The rest of the team members are all below the Soul Master level."
"The strongest record of Blazing Fire Academy is that it defeated Elephant Armored Academy with an absolute advantage, while Elephant Armored Academy has three Soul Masters."
"What do you think? Should we fight this match? If not, we can forfeit to conserve our strength for the upcoming Thunder Academy match."
"You have experience fighting Yu Tianheng many times, so your chances of winning against Thunder Academy are very high."
On the preparation bench, Yu Xiaogang, unusually, did not get into a tantrum. Instead, he looked serious and earnestly discussed tactics with the Shrek team.
As soon as Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, the Shrek Academy students started discussing it animatedly.
"Let's not fight anymore? If we forfeit this match, we can hide Zhu Zhuqing's strength. We'll definitely win against Thunder Academy tomorrow."
"Fight! Oscar, why are you such a coward? So what if there are only two Soul Ancestors? We still have three Soul Elders! I refuse to believe we can't win!"
"I also think we can fight. Fatty is right. In terms of the number of Soul Ancestors, we have the advantage. Moreover, we are not Elephant Armored Academy. They have weaknesses that allow them to be taken down in one wave."
Oscar and Ma Hongjun each said a sentence, and after Dai Mubai summarized, everyone else nodded in agreement, thinking they could fight.
Seeing that everyone had decided to fight, Yu Xiaogang nodded and then said:
"Since you've decided to fight, let me introduce their spirit system to you, and then we'll decide on the players for today."
"Captain Huo Wushuang, whose martial soul is the One-Horned Fire Dragon, is a standard power-attack type. They also have another power-attack type soul master, level 38, whose martial soul is the Fire Leopard."
"Both of them are agility-based attackers, both level 39 Flamingos, and they are twins. Their teamwork is excellent, and apart from facing the Divine Wind Academy, they can be said to dominate the skies."
"There are also two support-type characters with the Martial Soul Mars. They have a little bit of attack power, but not much. Their overall role is to amplify the other team members."
"Finally, there's their vice-captain, Huo Wu. You must pay attention to her. The Blazing Fire Team's tactics are all centered around her."
"And her martial soul is the Fire Shadow, a special body martial soul, a control type, and she is also the person with the highest soul power in the Blazing Fire Team."
(TL: She is the Hokage!!)
After Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, everyone's expressions turned somewhat troubled. As expected of someone who could take down Elephant Armored Academy in one fell swoop, they were indeed a bit difficult to deal with.
Based on their lineup, it seems that no matter who they field, they cannot gain an absolute advantage, not to mention that the opposing team also has two air units.
Thinking of this, everyone turned their attention to Ma Hongjun, hoping that the fat man could step up and replace those two air units.
Ma Hongjun's eyelids twitched violently. He could tell what the others were thinking just by looking at them. But was this some kind of joke?
One against two, and the opponent's level is even higher than his, isn't that ridiculous! He then shook his head vigorously, indicating that he couldn't do it.
"No, no, if it's just one, I can try, but I definitely can't beat two. By the way, Brother Bai, do you have any good ideas?"
Ma Hongjun shifted the topic to Bai Yu, hoping he could maintain his usual freakishness and expose the weaknesses of the Blazing Fire team.
Bai Yu, who was cracking nuts and watching the commotion, paused. He hadn't expected that Ma Hongjun, that bastard, would actually bring the problem to him.
In fact, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong had already noticed that this guy was watching the show from the sidelines and kept rolling their eyes at him, but it was no use.
But then the three of them had a sudden inspiration and decided to take advantage of Ma Hongjun's question to teach this bastard a lesson.
"That's right, Bai Yu, you've been hanging around with us for so many days. Now that we're in trouble, it's time for you to give us your opinions."
"Exactly, every time you come, you just sit there and start eating. Are those nuts really that delicious?"
Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu each complained, while Zhu Zhuqing remained silent, though she looked at him with hopeful eyes.
Bai Yu looked helpless, threw down the nuts in his hand, and clapped his hands twice.
"The Blazing Fire Team is indeed very well-rounded. Don't even think about its weaknesses. The other three elemental academies are the same. You can only rely on your raw strength."
Seeing that Ning Rongrong and the others were rolling their eyes even more, Bai Yu changed his tone.
"However, if you really want to do something unconventional, there are two ways you can try. The first is for everyone to charge into battle."
"All support characters will not participate. When the battle begins, each of you will focus on one enemy, and then let Zhuqing deal with Huo Wu."
"As long as we eliminate Huo Wu, their strategy will be completely destroyed. You can say that you can win easily, but this method is a bit risky. Huo Wu herself also has some survival abilities."
"The second thing is to bring out all the support units. You guys play a semi-defensive style. At the start, let Oscar create sausages, and everyone will fly into the air."
"If you have the chance, you can try to take them out by surprise. If you succeed, it will be much easier for you to fight them."
After Bai Yu finished speaking, everyone frowned. It was hard to say which method was better, but it was indeed the best tactic that could be thought of besides a direct confrontation of strength.
