Chapter 1885: Deciding the Three Teams

Chapter 1885: Deciding the Three Teams

Everyone was quite surprised to hear this. After all, if this arrangement were to be followed, then the four Limit Douluos of Shrek Academy would all be excluded from Tang Wulin’s team.

However, the biggest surprise was still yet to come.

Yali turned to Qiangu Dieting, and said, “Qiangu Dieting, I know what you’re thinking. If you have any backbone at all, then you’ll do everything in your power in this battle; only then will you be able to earn the Qiangu Family some redemption. I can promise you that prior to the conclusion of this battle, the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy won’t seek vengeance against you, nor plot against you in any way. Your Spirit Pagoda is quite limited in firepower, so how about we form another team together?”

Never did Qiangu Dieting think that Yali would make an offer like this, and he was temporarily rooted to the spot.

Yali continued, “Yuanen Zhentian, Yuanen Tiandang, Tong Yu, Wu Zhangkong, A’Ruheng, Lan Muzi, and I will join you to form a group of nine with yourself and your son.”

Qiangu Dongfeng was ecstatic to hear this. Among the seven people that Yali had mentioned, five of them possessed Limit Douluo level power, and Wu Zhangkong and Lan Muzi were also very close to that standard.

On paper, this was a lineup that was far more formidable than even Shrek’s Seven Monsters! Essentially, this would be a group of nine Limit Douluos, which would make them the most powerful of the three teams and dramatically raise their chances of securing victory.

However, a hesitant look then immediately appeared on his face as he cast a skeptical gaze toward Yali. Among this team of nine, seven were going to be from the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy; what if they chose to betray him and his father? The two of them would’ve even have any chance of getting away!

Yali could naturally detect the doubt in his gaze, and a hint of derision and disgust appeared on her face. “Do you think I would plot against you at a time like this? How about you don’t compare everyone to yourself?”

Qiangu Dongfeng was quite embarrassed to hear this. Yali had just declared in front of everyone that they wouldn’t be exacting revenge on the Qiangu Family prior to the conclusion of this battle, so it was clear that she intended to keep the promise.

Qiangu Dieting replied, “We have no objections. Thank you.” After that, he and Qiangu Dongfeng went away to meditate and try to recover to peak condition.

All of the people from the military gathered here were among the top brass, and they were forced to see Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect through new eyes.

Among the 27 people required for the three nine-on-nine matches, the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy had contributed over half of that! This was an extremely significant contribution, and it was also a perfect reflection of how selfless the two super organizations were.

In contrast, not a single person had stepped forward to volunteer from the Spirit Pagoda, thereby displaying a drastic difference in their spirit and the values they upheld.

Gu Yuena’s stunning display had restored some dignity for the Spirit Pagoda, but the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy had stomped that into the dirt again.

Even after suffering that major disaster, the firepower that the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy were capable of unleashing was still far superior to that of the Spirit Pagoda.

The Spirit Pagoda was indeed the wealthiest organization on the entire continent, but they still simply couldn’t compare with the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, and the main difference was in their spirit.

The spirit was the core of an organization, and it was more important than anything else.

Meanwhile, the Battle God Hall had also finalized its lineup, and it was comprised of Guan Yue, Dong Zi’an, First Battle God Ao Rui, Second Battle God Long Tianwu, Third Battle God Luo Yuhang, Fifth Battle God Mo Zihong, Seventh Battle God Shi Mengshan, Eighth Battle God Nang Gongyi, and 13th Battle God Su Mengjun.

If individual power had been the only parameter being considered, Su Mengjun wouldn’t have received a spot on this team, but she shared a soul fusion skill with Long Tianwu, so the impact she could make was going to be bigger than any of the other remaining Battle Gods.

Thus, the lineups for the three teams were decided. Even though Zang Xin and Cao Dezhi weren’t going to participate in the matches, the lineups still instilled everyone with a sense of confidence.

As for the powerful beings who weren’t going to be participating in the matches, they still had to organize the defensive line in case of any unexpected circumstances.

Yu Guanzhi made his way over to Tang Wulin, Gu Yuena, and Guan Yue before extending a military salute toward them. “We’ll be counting on you for the survival of the federation and the human race. I’ll be keeping a close eye on the situation from the control center, and if any mishaps occur, retreat right away; I’ll immediately back you up with artillery fire.”

Tang Wulin replied, “Rest assured, Commander, we’ll be sure to do our best.”

Looking at the current situation, Tang Wulin was very confident; the only cause for concern was that he still didn’t know exactly what Demon Sovereign had up her sleeve.

However, that was no longer important; what was important was to be adaptable and react to whatever arose.

In the distance, the abyssal passageway had already fallen silent, and it seemed that the destroyed abyssal levels hadn’t actually managed to truly shake the abyssal plane. The interior of the passageway was still completely dark, and it was impossible to tell how many powerful abyssal creatures it harbored. However, the vast majority of the abyssal creatures were situated near the abyssal passageway and weren’t showing any signs of advancing, and the situation was a huge improvement compared with back when the defensive lines had been breached.

The three naval fleets had also already stabilized, and Chen Zeyu was forced to swallow his grief as he continued to fulfill his duty as commander, aiming all of their weapons toward the battlefield while monitoring the situation through radar and satellite surveillance.

In the sky, the soul aircrafts displayed no intention of returning; they were still huddled around the 12 infrasonic aircrafts and surveying the entire battlefield under the protection of the Blood God Legion.

Meanwhile, the areas of the second defensive line that had been breached were quickly being repaired. All of the personnel responsible for logistical matters were transporting all types of equipment and soul weapons to the front lines as quickly as they could, and virtually all of the mechas that the legions had at their disposal were situated on the second defensive line.

As a result, the situation was completely stabilized, and it seemed that everything was progressing in a positive direction.

Yu Guanzhi had agreed to this bet as he had taken the overall situation into consideration. During these three matches, it was inevitable that both sides would suffer losses. It was very difficult to predict which side would come out on top, but sacrifices were virtually unavoidable.

Even if the battle were to continue after these matches, there would be enough time for him to set up everything.

The infrasonic and heavy ion laser weapons had already displayed their worth on this battlefield, and they were going to be the primary weapons protecting the second defensive line.

As the commander-in-chief, Yu Guanzhi naturally had to consider many things, and after making the decision, he had to implement them as quickly as possible during this one-hour window.

One hour passed by in a flash, and as a streak of purplish-golden light rose up into the sky from the center of the abyssal passageway, all of the human troops immediately became quite nervous.

They were coming!

Behind Demon Sovereign were Ghost Emperor and Infernal Emperor, following which came Dark Bell and Dark Blood Demon.
