Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Chapter 456 – Fight It Out

Tang Yuge said, “If you guys can’t even beat the second years, then you’re not the people I know. With you around, this won’t be a problem. A One-Word Battle Armor will definitely increase the overall strength of a soul master, but it’s only a One-Word Battle Armor after all. Although there is an overall enhancement, if the soul power and talent of both parties aren’t too different, the advantage of being two against one isn’t great.”

Lan Xuanyu said, “What about one against three? Are you confident that you can defeat us?”

Tang Yuge smiled bitterly. “If it wasn’t a 1v3, I’m afraid I wouldn’t even have the chance to fight. Only if you guys choose to let us only have one person for the third years can I get the qualifications to fight. I’ve already been cut off from the others.”

Lan Xuanyu furrowed his brows. “Even now is it still like this?”

Tang Yuge replied indifferently, “Sima Xian’s management ability is stronger than I imagined.”

“I understand. Alright, we originally planned to choose three against one anyway, if we could reach that stage. After all, this is our biggest advantage. We will also give it our all and try to defeat you. Oh right, we can’t use mechas in this competition, right?”

Tang Yuge laughed. “Are you worried?”

Lan Xuanyu replied, “Of course I’m worried. If it’s a Duo Mecha Master, then the disparity between us would be too great.”

Tang Yuge said, “No. In order to avoid danger, soul devices are not allowed in internal matches of the academy. This match is a real-life confrontation, not a simulated world. All of you must be prepared for this and try not to get injured in the other matches.”

Lan Xuanyu was taken aback. He suddenly realized that he had overlooked such an important question. “It’s actually a real fight? What if I can’t hold back?”

Tang Yuge said, “There will be teachers in charge of supervising, you don’t have to worry about this. But the teachers’ supervision is only limited to a situation where there is a fatal threat. Relatively speaking, it is still quite lax. Actual combat and simulation battles are always different. No matter how real a simulation battle is, it is still a simulation. It is a completely different feeling in your heart. You will know it when you reach your third-year. All the tests and competitions in the academy are basically done in the real world because the missions that we have to complete in the future are also in the real world. We only have one life. In the real world, death is death, and it is impossible to revive like in a simulation pod.”

Lan Xuanyu took a deep breath. “I understand. I look forward to fighting senior sister again.”

“En, I’m looking forward to it too.”

After ending the call, Lan Xuanyu suddenly felt a headache coming on. He had personally witnessed Tang Yuge break through to rank 60 and gain a powerful soul skill, the Five Elements Escape technique. Just thinking about it made him feel that the Five Elements Escape technique had endless uses. With her Five Elements Divine Light and Battle Armor, it was definitely not an easy task to defeat her, even if it was three against one.

Who would be better to deal with her?

There was another thing that gave Lan Xuanyu a headache. His classmates had given him their complete trust and no matter how many spots he got to attend the ceremony, how should he choose? Who should he let go? Who should he not let go? This was also a big problem.

In his heart, he obviously wanted his closest teammates to go. He wanted his team to go together, but in terms of individual ability, not everyone in his team was the most outstanding in class. If they were able to get enough slots in the end and it was only members of his team that got it, what would the other students think?

Hence, it would be troublesome for Lan Xuanyu if everyone chose not to sign up for the competition. It was better for everyone to fight and the winner would get a spot.

After a quick lunch, Lan Xuanyu arrived at the Interstellar Center early in the morning. Seeing Tang Zhenhua, he explained the confusion in his heart.

“Isn’t it simple?” Tang Zhenhua said unhurriedly. “Go and apply to the academy! If the first years are able to climb all the way up and defeat the sixth years in the end, then the academy will think of a way to specially allow your entire class to attend the ceremony. Otherwise, if you lose, your entire class will not go. Isn’t that enough? This is called cutting off all means of retreat and putting yourself in a dead end to fight for survival. Not only will it increase the cohesiveness of your class, but it will also strengthen your position in the class. During this process, you guys have no way out and will definitely put in more effort during the battle. It is also good training. Even if you lose, you can just not go. Isn’t it just a ceremony? You guys will go to the Soul Beast Planet sooner or later anyway.”

“Whenthere is such a problem, first of all, don’t take it too seriously. Because if you take it too seriously, you will bind yourself. You will not be able to judge how to maximize the benefits from other aspects. You should think about this instead. Is it more important to attend the ceremony, or to unite all of the first years and make everyone trust you more?”

“Everyone works together, and you will be the commander. Even if you lose in the end, at least you guys have fought it out. The cohesion in your class will definitely be stronger. There are over 30 first-year students, and as long as you can successfully graduate from the Outer Court, they will become your most reliable network. As the class leader, it is most important for a class to have strong cohesion.”

Tang Zhenhua’s words enlightened Lan Xuanyu. ‘That’s right! Is the ceremony really that important? What’s important is the cohesion of the entire class!’

“But will the academy agree?” Lan Xuanyu asked doubtfully.

Tang Zhenhua said, “You still don’t know Shrek well enough. What Shrek wants to see the most is to turn the impossible into a possibility. This is the greatest joy in grooming monsters. Do you think it’s easy to succeed at five challenges in a row? Then you’re underestimating Shrek Academy. The opponents that you’re about to face are so strong that they might even make you despair. Don’t worry and bring it up. The academy will definitely agree because they don’t think that you will succeed. As for the quota, with Shrek’s status in the Federation and the relationship between Shrek Academy and the two Soul Beast planets, having a few more slots is nothing.”

“Thank you, Teacher. I understand.” Lan Xuanyu clenched his fists subconsciously. If they could really challenge the sixth years and defeat them, it was definitely more important than attending the ceremony!

His teacher’s suggestion was simply too good. His problem was that he didn’t jump out of the spectator circle to think about the problem. He was prioritizing being able to attend the ceremony, which was why he was stuck in his thoughts. With his teacher’s suggestion, all the first-year students would be tied together in an instant. They would either go together or not go at all. The problem would be solved if they didn’t have to worry about being outnumbered. So what if they didn’t go? So what if they didn’t go!

With that thought, Lan Xuanyu felt his entire train of thought become lively.

“Teacher, can I apply for a leave? I would like to gather my classmates and make a plan,” Lan Xuanyu said to Tang Zhenhua.

“Go on. Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, just fight. Youth is for all of you to fight because youth is not afraid of failure.” Tang Zhenhua chuckled. He loved seeing his disciple full of motivation and enthusiasm.

After exiting the Interstellar Center, Lan Xuanyu immediately called all his classmates and informed Xiao Qi that there would be a class meeting in an hour.

This was obviously a difficult job. After all, every student had their own learning arrangements. But Lan Xuanyu told them that the class meeting was about going to the Elven Planet and that they had a chance to attend.

In fact, the other students were also thinking about the problem that he was thinking about, especially those stronger ones like Bing Tianliang and Ding Zhuohan.
