The meeting hall suddenly became quiet.
Then, there was an uproar.
What on earth was going on? They were enjoying the show, but why did they suddenly admit defeat? And it was Blue Tyrant Academy, which had just eliminated the Royal Fighting Team II, that admitted defeat.
There was a lot of noise in the venue, but the referee was still performing his duties.
He quickly stepped forward, checked Tyrone's condition, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, no fatal injuries were caused. The body looked a little miserable and two-thirds of the bones were broken, but it could still be saved.
However, even if he is cured, he may not have the chance to play in the upcoming qualifiers and round-robin matches.
But what does this have to do with him? As long as the person is not dead, it’s good enough.
Moreover, it was only the first game of the qualifying round, and a battle of this scale took place. They would probably have to raise the cultivation threshold for referees. It was not bad that he could be a spectator.
He ignored the noise in the arena and announced loudly: "Lanba Academy admits defeat. The first match of the first round of the preliminaries, Tiandou Royal Academy wins."
Then, he signaled the healing spirit master waiting below to quickly go on stage, carry Tai Long down, and began to urge both parties to leave.
On both sides of the arena, students from both academies left the arena from different directions, but their performances were completely different.
Over at Blue Bull Academy, although they had clearly lost, several of them had smiles on their faces.
Even Huang Yuan, who looked pale due to excessive blood loss, was supported by his teammates and they were talking and laughing.
As for the Royal Fighting Team 2, although they had clearly won, Tang San and his companions looked unhappy.
After all, they were careless. Looking at Tyrone being carried and receiving treatment in front of them, they felt as uncomfortable as if they had eaten a fly.
In just the first game, they were fooled by the opponent. Blue Bully Academy didn't come here for the game at all. They came here to take revenge on Tyrone.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have given up the game immediately after seriously injuring Tyrone.
The most important thing is that this move by Blue Bull Academy has set a very bad precedent.
They didn’t know whether there were any problems in other colleges, but they had to know that they also had conflicts with Canghui College, not to mention the most difficult Tianshui College.
If these two colleges do the same thing next time, they don’t need to do much, just follow today’s actions and do it again. They won’t even have to play in the round-robin tournament and will directly lose their competitiveness.
In the stands, Emperor Xue Ye and the three education committee members also looked very unhappy.
Of course, they did not do this because they had thought about what would happen next, but simply because they had lost face.
The second team, in their eyes, was never competitive to begin with, but this kind of match was still a bit ugly.
They would rather see the second team lose in the opening game due to overwhelming strength than see them win but be shown off by others.
The most important thing is that the opponent is not strong.
Look at the situation in the conference hall, this is the negative impact caused.
Even though they were on the high platform, they could vaguely hear voices like "black curtain" and "***, return the money".
"Everyone, this behavior of Blue Tyrant Academy cannot be encouraged, but it is also not appropriate to criticize it publicly. Since I am the co-organizer of the Spirit Hall, I will come out to calm the anger. As for the follow-up matters, you will handle them."
After taking a look at the situation in the stands, Han Li stood up on his own initiative.
After all, he is the person in charge of the Spirit Hall in the Tiandou competition area, so he still needs to do something.
Moreover, he personally selected the opponents of the Royal Fighting Team, so he naturally took this situation into consideration.
However, even he did not expect that Blue Tyrant Academy would act like this. They did not even pretend to do so. It was obvious that they were targeting one person and would admit defeat immediately after the fight. However, this was also in line with Liu Erlong's style.
As he was thinking, Han Li had already walked to the loudspeaker in front.
He gave the staff a look, and the scene in the air switched from the ring to Han Li.
Under the gaze of the audience, Han Li stretched out his right hand and pressed it in the air. After everyone quieted down, he spoke.
"I know everyone is very dissatisfied and confused as to why the battle just now came to an abrupt end and why Blue Bully Academy admitted defeat. But I need to tell you that this is reasonable."
In the camera, Han Li's expression became serious.
"Although the Soul Master Competition is open to the public and spectators are allowed, don't forget that it is also a battle for the students. Or rather, it is not just a battle, but a series of battles."
"During this process, the participating students not only need to demonstrate their personal strength, but also evaluate themselves and their opponents, which is also a very important step. Of course, it also includes planning the competition schedule."
"But from my perspective, I see their overall plan. Although I feel a little sorry for the students of Blue Tyrant Academy, I must reveal a little bit of their tactics here in order to explain it clearly to everyone."
Han Li paused for a moment, expressed his apology, and then continued, "First, they accurately assessed the strength of both sides. Knowing that they were no match for the other side, they chose a more special tactic. That is what you have seen. They sent three team members to fight the opponent in the front."
"Then, they used the shields of their own defensive spirit masters to block the enemy's sight. Of course, one thing that must be mentioned here is that they also made good use of the martial spirit characteristics of their own control spirit masters."
"The martial soul hollow vine is not common among control-type soul masters. It is characterized by its strange and unpredictable appearance. The strength of the martial soul itself is not very high. But what everyone doesn't know is that the reason why the hollow vine is known for its strangeness is because it can conceal soul power fluctuations to a certain extent."
"And if I'm not mistaken, the two students at the back of Blue Tyrant Academy have soul skills that require charging. The longer the charging time, the greater the power. If we base it on the ring battle, it can be said that they are not suitable for the competition."
"But it is precisely because of their tactics that the situation we see has emerged."
"After they sent their main players to hold back the opponent's attack, they used shields to block their vision and used the martial spirit characteristics of the hollow vine to conceal the fluctuations of the spirit power of their teammates in the back. They successfully completed the charging of their spirit skills, and that's why you all saw that they eliminated one of the opponents with just one strike."
"But unfortunately, their front-line players are still weaker than the opponent. After the tactic worked, they could no longer delay until the next charged attack was completed."
"So even though they had just defeated one person and had one more person on the other side, they still chose to admit defeat. This is because the other side still had four people who hadn't made a move yet, and their overall strength was still superior to theirs. Now, do you understand?"
"So that's how it is."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
In the meeting room below, many people suddenly realized. After listening to Han Li's words, it seemed to make sense and it was not some shady deal. Instead, they just couldn't understand it.
Han Li nodded with satisfaction. His words were meant for ordinary people and low-level soul masters.
As for the nobles and participating students, you can tell by looking at the expressions of most of them.
If they really believe it, then it’s fine.
After all, the tactics Han Li mentioned were indeed true, but he had some differences with the other party in understanding the starting point of why Blue Bully Academy chose such tactics.
But he is not the other party's student. From an outsider's perspective, he has already glorified the other party's behavior. Even if it were other people, they would not be able to say anything wrong and would have to praise the Son of God for his kindness.
You can tell by looking at the expressions of the students from Blue Tyrant Academy who have already reunited with Liu Erlong below.
If they were not the parties involved, after hearing Han Li's words, they would be confused about whether they had thought so before going on stage.
Han Li looked at the discussion trend that had been reversed in the meeting room, cleared his throat, and continued:
"Of course, after talking about Lanba Academy, we cannot ignore the winner of this game, Tiandou Royal Academy Team 2."
"From the match, we can see that they are indeed very strong. They are worthy of being the team that Sect Master Ning values. There are only three of them. If you count the increase at the beginning, there are at most four of them. With just one round of attack, they defeated the opponent."
"That is, as I said, Blue Domination Academy was extremely well prepared, and the successful implementation of tactics prevented them from being defeated directly. But everyone can also see that even so, the Royal Fighting Team 2 only paid the price of one person being injured and successfully won the first game."
"As far as I know, the list of players submitted by the Royal Fighting Team II includes seven substitutes. Moreover, the team leader, student Tang San, is a control-type spirit master who can suppress the opponent's main agility-type spirit master without using spirit skills. His strength is unfathomable."
"Today's battle is just a minor stumble for the Royal Fighting Team 2 on their way to success. They are still the winners."
"As spectators, we should not be stingy with our applause. This is what the winners deserve. I hope they can bring us more exciting games in the future."
As Han Li's voice fell, applause and cheers rang out again throughout the venue. Although there were still a few people who were dissatisfied, they had no choice but to give up.
In the rest area, Tang San's expression did not improve because of Han Li's words, but became even gloomier.
What tactical qualities, schedule planning, bullshit.
Lan Ba Academy was here for revenge, and he didn't believe that Han Li couldn't see it.
Although he made such remarks publicly in the stands to cover up their defeat to a certain extent, wasn't it obvious that he was protecting Blue Tyrant Academy? As expected, none of the people in the Spirit Hall were good.
In the stands, the expressions of Emperor Xue Ye and the three education committee members finally eased a little, and they all had no objection to Han Li's handling of the matter.
Properly elevating Blue Overlord Academy and lightly ignoring the mistakes of Royal Fighting Team 2 is the best solution at the moment.
"Afterwards, send someone to remind all the colleges. Grudges are grudges, but if anyone dares to cause trouble in the competition again, they will be severely punished."
Xue Ye glanced at Yu Yuanzhen with some dissatisfaction, then turned and spoke to the three education committee members.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The three education committee members could only nod in agreement. They naturally had to bear the blame. Even though it was Xue Qinghe who nodded to let Tai Long join the second team, could they say anything? Of course not.
Only Ning Fengzhi looked at Han Li deeply, somewhat confused as to what he was trying to do. His behavior was really too confusing.
