After scolding Tang San, the Grandmaster finally turned his gaze toward Dai Mubai, who had become somewhat nervous because of the completely merciless reprimand he had just witnessed.
"Mubai, your performance this time was still quite good. You did not act carelessly or rush in recklessly. You fully brought out your own advantages and also displayed an impressive level of emergency response ability.
"What is even more worthy of praise is that you have fully developed multiple application methods of your soul skills, compensating for your own shortcomings.
"If Tang San gave us a completely wrong example of how to fight, then you have shown everyone a positive example. You must continue to maintain this in the future.
"All right, next group. Since we have auxiliary-type Rongrong and Xiao Ao here, the two of you will fight two-on-two directly.
"Rongrong and Xiao Wu are one group. Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Ao are the other group. I'll give you five minutes to discuss tactics. Five minutes later, the match begins directly."
With Tang San's harsh criticism still fresh in their minds, Oscar and the other three already understood that the teachers were treating this spar with utmost seriousness.
So the moment the Grandmaster called them out, the four did not dare delay in the slightest. They immediately split into two groups, widened the distance between each other, and began discussing.
The north half of the training field's center line was Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing's area.
What left Oscar a little speechless was that Zhu Zhuqing had absolutely no intention of offering her own suggestions. She simply stared straight at him, clearly waiting for him to arrange the tactics.
Because time was tight, Oscar could not afford to hesitate over whether this was her natural personality or whether Zhu Zhuqing had learned some "Shrek Academy tradition" and thus formed this "bad habit."
Since Zhu Zhuqing said nothing, Oscar stopped pushing the responsibility away and directly entered analysis mode:
"Let's first analyze ourselves. You already understand my soul skill effects very clearly. As long as my third soul skill is used cleverly enough, it will severely restrain Xiao Wu's Soft Skill.
"Without the enhancement of her Soft Skill, a large portion of Xiao Wu's close-combat strength will be cut down.
"So when the fight starts later, my third soul skill must absolutely not be saved. That means my best choice is to produce two sets of soul skill hamburgers in the shortest time possible.
"This will allow both of us to receive boosts immediately. But it will also make me enter a temporary period of soul power emptiness because of high consumption in a short time. The length of this empty period is currently unknown.
"During this empty period, if Xiao Wu attacks me even once, I will have no ability to resist. So this means you must help me stall Xiao Wu for a while. Zhuqing, can you do that?"
"I can. Your second soul skill increases soul power by 15%. With that, the difference between my soul power and Xiao Wu's won't be very big. As long as I don't make a mistake, blocking her for more than ten minutes won't be a problem."
Zhu Zhuqing's voice was still extremely cold, sounding almost emotionless, but Oscar could hear the firmness in her tone. This steadiness made Oscar feel very reassured.
"Good, then I'll choose this approach. As long as we endure through that period, with the effects of my first two soul skills, we will basically be in an undefeatable position. The longer the fight drags on, the bigger our chance of winning.
"Of course, if we can end the fight quickly, then we should still end it quickly.
"This brings us to one of our advantages. I am not a purely food-type soul master. Even without soul tools, I can act as a defense-type soul master thanks to the power of my externally-attached soul bone.
"In other words, we can be considered to have two combat strengths, while the other side only has Xiao Wu as combat strength. As long as we grasp the timing and open two battle lines at once, we can fully bring out this advantage.
"Since you are an agility-attack type soul master, your speed is definitely faster than Xiao Wu's. So the second battle line will be opened by you.
"According to my current idea, at the very beginning of the fight,
we focus all our attacks on Xiao Wu to confuse her.After widening the distance between Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, you then withdraw from the battle, use your speed advantage to catch Xiao Wu off guard, and eliminate Ning Rongrong.
"Rongrong's auxiliary abilities from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda don't need me to explain. Without her support, Xiao Wu alone facing the two of us—her defeat is only a matter of time.
"The only problem is that we currently don't know what Xiao Wu's third soul skill is. This is a real disadvantage.
"Since we can't prepare targeted defenses, we must remain cautious at all times. When you go to eliminate Ning Rongrong, you must be extra careful. Keep your dual-layer mental-force shield tightly around your body and protect yourself well.
"We must be prepared for Xiao Wu's third soul skill being able to support Ning Rongrong instantly."
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing nod to indicate she already knew what to do, Oscar began circulating his soul power to prepare for releasing his soul skills.
Once his soul power was ready, Oscar's soul skill release speed matched his speaking speed. When the Grandmaster finished saying "start," he had to produce six hamburgers instantly to complete the buffs for their side.
There wasn't much prep time. The Grandmaster soon had the two groups stand five meters apart and announced the start of the spar.
The moment the Grandmaster's word "begin" left his mouth, Oscar began chanting his soul incantation. As soon as the word "start" fell, two miniature hamburgers of his first soul skill had already appeared.
To gain time to make hamburgers and to widen the distance between Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing retreated rapidly right from the start.
Three seconds later, Oscar handed Zhu Zhuqing the three miniature hamburgers meant for her. She ate them one by one, and just as she finished, she met the charging Xiao Wu, who was coming over with the boosts of Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda soul skill.
There was nothing more to say—she activated her mental-force shield to prevent Xiao Wu from getting close enough to use Soft Skill, then used her speed advantage to entangle and duel with Xiao Wu.
It looked exactly like she was desperately protecting her own auxiliary teammate. Oscar could not see even a trace of intention in her movements suggesting she planned to attack Ning Rongrong.
With Zhu Zhuqing holding Xiao Wu back, Oscar had breathing room. He retreated another six meters, widening his safe distance from Xiao Wu while eating his own hamburgers.
Retreating also allowed Oscar to rest slightly and let the first soul skill begin to take effect, slowly restoring the soul power he had consumed and allowing him to prepare to activate Flaming Armor Shield at any time.
In just those ten-odd seconds, Oscar had gone all out to release six soul skills, two of which were thousand-year third soul skills.
Even though food-type soul skills consume little soul power and Oscar's level was already 37, he still felt somewhat unable to continue for the moment. He could only slow down a little and let the soul-power-restoration soul skill take effect before taking the next action.
Fortunately Zhu Zhuqing was there to stall Xiao Wu's movements, so Oscar didn't have to worry about being eliminated suddenly.
Thirty seconds later, feeling his soul power fill up once again, Oscar decisively began the next step. The dark-red armor of the Flaming Armor Shield wrapped around his entire right arm.
Feeling the obvious improvement in his control and perception of fire-attribute soul power, as well as his physical strength and defensive attributes, Oscar rushed quickly toward the place where Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were fighting.
Zhu Zhuqing was still at a disadvantage in soul power level. While she could entangle for a short time, the longer it lasted, the worse it would become. Oscar needed to provide timely combat support.
Zhu Zhuqing, who had been watching Oscar's movements all along, immediately increased her attack pressure upon realizing he was approaching, drawing Xiao Wu's attention so Xiao Wu had no spare focus to notice Oscar rapidly arriving.
Internally praising Zhu Zhuqing's cooperation, Oscar did not rush into the melee. Instead, an idea flashed through his mind—he suddenly made a move as if rushing toward Ning Rongrong behind them.
During the forward charge, Oscar multitasked—on one hand allowing the jade-like rhino horn of his Flaming Armor Shield to accumulate dark-red fire-attribute energy, and on the other hand constantly monitoring Xiao Wu's movements.
