But there are many ways to achieve victory in battle.

The Sandbone Group couldn't sustain their injuries-for-injuries strategy, and Blood Eagle's Blood Blade managed to bypass the shield, inflicting enough wounds on ALulu's wrist to make her grip weaken.

Aicher seized this moment, pressing forward with dual blades, and knocked aside the giant shield.

The broad Bloodthirsty Blade slashed towards ALulu's shield-bearing left arm, and while dodging the Horned Race young girl's giant hammer counterattack using a Sword Dance Step, the narrow Bloodletting Blade thrust straight at her heart.

"Lulu!"

Zoe urgently waved her hand, and the form of the Earth Serpent emerged in the golden light, crashing fiercely into Blood Eagle's side.

Assaulted by this suddenly appearing summoned creature, Blood Eagle failed to dodge in time and was grazed, forcing him to retreat several steps.

The golden giant serpent coiled around ALulu, forming a solid defense under her astonished gaze.

"Violation, violation! Star Flower Travel Corps is ruled to lose!" Reed shouted.

"Bringing in the Energy Source is your own skill, after all, some people's Energy Sources are part of their body. This Summoned Beast is entirely determined by personal will.

"I know you're concerned about your teammate's mentality, but you've lost this round.

"Star Flower Travel Corps enters the loser's bracket. Wait for the loser's bracket final tomorrow, and see if you can return to the final for a rematch?

"But how does this Sky Cavalry have such an exaggerated Summoned Beast? If it were a fight to the death, The Sandbone Group might still... uh, I better not say.

"In any case, congratulations to The Sandbone Group for advancing to this year's Flowing Silver Combat Skill's final!"

The celebrating members of The Sandbone Group gestured threateningly at the host, prompting him to change his words.

Zoe stood in place, slightly stunned.

They lost?

There seemed to be some strength left, but to save a teammate, there was no choice. So, in that instant...

This is team combat, I could have continued fighting.

Is it ALulu's fault? No, I can't blame her, it's our team's weakness that was exploited.

Dorothy came over and patted her: "Let's go, don't just stand there. We were defeated by their strategy."

On the other side of the field, members of The Sandbone Group were carried on stretchers, awaited by the duel arena healers and those marked with The Sandbone Group's emblem.

Li Ang flew directly from the stands into the arena, applying Healing Water Wave to the blood-soaked ALulu.

Entering like this, the host clicked his tongue, not daring to intervene.

...

In the hotel room, the young girls were dejected.

"When will he come?" Zoe asked with a sob in her voice.

At this moment, there was no tense atmosphere among the four present, including Andasu, who also shook their heads together.

Li Ang pushed the door open, and the four collectively looked up, then averted their eyes in dismay, not daring to look at him.

Andasu had also lost to Blood Eagle and came over after the match.

"Cheer up." He smiled at the children, "It's not like you're completely eliminated."

"But, we had a chance... and now, we have to eliminate one of us before facing the Wolf Ears." Zoe pouted, tears brimming.

"I'm sorry, brother, it's all my fault," ALulu lowered her head deeply.

"I failed your expectations." White Wolf's voice was low,

Dorothy wasn't as disappointed as the others, but she also lacked much spirit.

As Zoe spoke, she started to sob, eventually breaking into tears, followed by ALulu's weeping.

Even the seemingly composed White Wolf was affected, her eyes welling up, and her white beast ears drooped, making Li Ang want to pat them.

"It's not possible for both teams to win, even if you meet in the finals, one side must prevail; as long as one party wins the championship, it's fine.

"Among various team tactics, there's a style called fast-strike. It exploits the weak points of the defending team, breaking through before they can mount effective defense and counterattack, and Blood Eagle just had this concept in mind.

"But the advantage of a double elimination tournament is the chance for the losers to adjust and reorganize their strength.

"After today's special training, you won't lose tomorrow."

Li Ang's words somewhat brightened the young girls' expressions, their eyes shimmered, looking up at him eagerly.

He had told them to return first and then went out for a while, preparing for their adjustments.
