On the fifth day of the competition…
Shrek's luck had basically come to an end.
In today's match, they had to face a formidable team led by three Spirit Kings. Apart from Ten Fragrance, they didn't even have a single Spirit King. There wasn't even a forty fifth ranked Spirit Ancestor.
Wang Yan looked at Bebe, Ten Fragrance, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, Xiao Xiao, Wu Feng, Ning Tian, Huo Yuhao, and Wang Dong, who were sitting in a row. His gaze swept from the first person to the last person.
"Children. The crucial battle was about to begin. In order to let Xiao Tao and the others recuperate in peace, I didn't tell them about the difficulties you're going to face in this game. Let me emphasize one last time. Even if you lose the competition, you won't feel ashamed because your average age is only fourteen years old. I believe that in any other academy, there would definitely be no students more outstanding than you in your age group. What we have to do now is to pray that luck is still on our side. The next game is still a team battle. But at the same time, I have a request for you, and you must fulfill it. That was safety. I know that all of you are holding back and want to win this match. But victory is far less important than your own safety.”
"I brought all of you here, and I hope to bring all of you back in one piece. Each and every one of you is the academy's most precious asset. A person could only live once, and limbs could not be regenerated. Therefore, no matter how hard you fight in the competition, I hope that you will not risk your life or even death. We don't need to do that. You have already done your best. No matter what, you don't have to feel pressured by everything in the outside world. The competition stage is just a stage for you to showcase yourself. You're just going on a relaxing trip.”
Wang Yan said every word earnestly. At this moment, he was not only worried, but also touched. Because among all the academies participating in this year's Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Spirit Fighting Tournament, he was completely certain that there would absolutely not be any other academy that would have a teacher leading the team telling the team members not to be afraid of losing, even taking the initiative to lower the students 'fighting spirit before the battle. And he was doing that now.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Yan stood up and said in a deep voice,""Let's go, children. It's time for us to relax.”
Huo Yuhao sighed helplessly and followed Wang Yan out…
After leaving the Imperial Star Hotel, Wang Dong and the others could feel the firmness of the earth with every step they took on the way to Star Luo Square. It was just like their firm conviction at this moment. Huo Yuhao couldn't help but smile when he saw this. At the same time, he was determined to win!
Shrek Academy would be the first to appear in today's match, and their opponents today could be said to have easily obtained victory in the first two round-robin matches, including the match against Thousand Spirits Advanced Spirit Master Academy's representative team. This team had even entered the top eight in the previous competition.
From the current performance of the two teams, everyone thought that this would be a strong showdown. Of course, there were differences even if they were all strong. In everyone's eyes, Shrek Academy was not on the same level as the other academies. It was an independent existence. However, everyone hoped that Shrek Academy's opponent would be stronger. Only then would there be a more exciting match.
After entering the resting area, Wang Dong and the others 'fighting spirit had already been raised to their peak state. Now, all they needed to do was wait for the match to begin.
The Imperial Sun Moon Academy's team members had arrived at the arena once again. There was no doubt that they were here to observe Shrek Academy's overall strength.
Ma Ru Long couldn't help but frown when he saw that Shrek Academy's side still had the nine people who had appeared the day before. Other than them, there were no other members present. He was very confident in his half broken sword. However, they were really that strong. When he thought of the girl called Ten Fragrance, who actually possessed the strength of an eight-ringed Soul Douluo, could it be that these people were also…He hurriedly removed the terrifying conjecture in his mind. How could this be? No matter how monstrous it was, it couldn't be like this!
A light flashed in his eyes, and Ma Ru Long began to lose confidence.
Time passed, and the sun had already risen high in the east.
The Star Luo Empire's Emperor arrived at the top of the city wall with his ministers escorting him. He did not sit down but walked straight to the resting area to watch the battle.
When he saw that Shrek Academy's side was still the Shrek Seven Monsters of the reserve team, he was slightly stunned, and muttered to himself in surprise,"Could it be that my judgment was wrong? Impossible! What was Shrek Academy trying to do? Why did they participate in this competition with such a lineup? Today's match would test whether these young children were real gold. He hoped that they were true gold that was not afraid of fire.”
As he spoke, he seemed to recall something and muttered,"Night Blade God Shixiang, fourteen years old, possesses the formidable strength of an eight-ringed Soul Douluo, but what about the others? Huo Yuhao, twelve years old. Wang Dong, twelve years old. Xiaoxiao, twelve years old. The others were also not over fifteen years old. With such a lineup, could they win?”
As an emperor, it was very easy for him to investigate some things. He was very interested in this reserve team, Shrek. He also wanted to see how far these young children could go.
Only half of the stage. The amplified soul device spread his voice far and wide.
"The first match of the third round of the round-robin matches will be against Shrek Academy's representative team and Zhengtian Academy's representative team. Both sides please enter the waiting area. The captain will go up to the stage to draw the competition method.”
That's right, Shrek Academy was facing the Zhengtian Advanced Spirit Master Academy representative team today. Just like Shrek Academy, Zhengtian Academy was from the Heavenly Soul Empire. Unlike Shrek Academy, which did not belong to any empire, Zhengtian Academy was a veteran academy in the Heavenly Soul Empire. He had produced many talents. Among the four great empires on the continent, the Heavenly Soul Empire was the one that adhered the most to the soul master tradition of rejecting soul masters. Therefore, this Zhengtian Academy was actually more thorough in its enforcement of pure soul masters than Shrek Academy. They didn't have a soul master division, they only cultivated soul masters. Regardless of whether they would be eliminated in the future, Zhengtian Academy was one of the strongest academies on the entire continent.
The captain of Zhengtian Academy was a young man around the age of twenty. He was so handsome that he could even be compared to Wang Dong. Of course, Wang Dong was still young and had yet to mature.
Wang Yan had described the captain of Zhengtian Academy in detail, and his evaluation of him was extremely high. Since the start of the competition, the captain of Zhengtian Academy had never appeared. It wasn't easy for Wang Yan to get some information on him.
Heartless, nineteen years old. Zhengtian Academy's top student. Team captain. Spirit: Golden Leaf, fifty eighth ranked power attack system Spirit Master. He was extremely powerful. In the previous tournament, he had already represented Zhengtian Academy as a member of the main team. And this year, he had become a pillar of the academy.
If he was just twenty this year, then, it was very likely that he would break through the sixtieth rank and become the first Spirit Emperor in the history of the Zhengtian Advanced Spirit Master Academy to participate in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament.
If that was really the case, Zhengtian Academy would officially enter the ranks of the top academies.
Heartless's figure was about the same as Bebe's, but unlike Bebe's elegance, he appeared much colder. However, when he looked at Bebe, his eyes would flash with a cold light.
Relatively speaking, Bebe's aura was slightly weaker than his, not just because of his level of cultivation, but also because of his age. The nineteen-year-old Heartless was already an adult, while Bebe, who was only close to fifteen years old, was still a youth.
Their gazes met. Bebe had a smile on his face, but his gaze was extremely firm and focused. Heartless's gaze was like a sharp knife, as though he was looking for an opening to stab into his body.
"Let's draw lots," said Cai Ban in a deep voice. Please bear witness."
In the waiting area below the stage, Wang Yan was already nervously clutching the armrests of his chair. Team battle, team battle. It could be said that all of his tactical arrangements revolved around the group battle. Only a team battle would give them a chance. On the contrary, Shrek Academy had practically no chance at all!
Everyone held their breaths as they waited for the results of the draw. It was also at this moment that the results were out.
Seeing the results of the draw, even Bebe, whose heart was burning with the desire to do battle, had his face change drastically. Luck was not on Shrek Academy's side this time. The result of the draw was the last thing they wanted to see.
"Shrek Academy versus Zhengtian Academy. They drew the second, second, and third combat techniques for the competition. In other words, there would be two two-on-two matches, and the last match would be a three-on-three match. Best of three. If one side won the first two matches, the third match of 3v3 would be canceled. The captains of both teams could get off the stage and get ready.”
When he saw that he had drawn the second, second, and third combat techniques, Wang Yan's mind went blank.
Two, two, three, how do we fight? Facing the Zhengtian Academy representative team with three Spirit Kings, they practically had no chance in any match! It was over, it was really over. Wang Yan, who had been hoping to get away with it, was now dejected. He leaned back in his chair, as if all the strength in his body had been sucked out.
Bebe's footsteps as he walked back had clearly become rather stiff, and the faces of the other seven Shrek members were all dark and unsightly. The preparations before the match were useless. The reason why Wang Yan didn't plan for the other two methods was because they had almost no chance of winning.
Huo Yuhao looked at their dispirited faces and couldn't help but laugh." Hey, you guys didn't forget about me, did you?"”
Everyone was shocked. They suddenly remembered Huo Yuhao's 'easy' victory against Shrek's main team. They were overjoyed. Wang Yan said,
"You mean…"
"It's not the right time to reveal our strength, so for the next two matches, me and Ten Fragrance will be participating! You should at least wait until Ma Xiaotao and the others have completely recovered before you can attack. Although I'm sorry, this is the only way!”Huo Yuhao felt a little embarrassed as he said this. He felt like he had let them down!
"Don't worry, I understand this logic. However, you two fellows have been making us 'do soy sauce'. We have to give you an explanation. You must win these two rounds!”Bebe patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder and said firmly.
"Don't worry, we'll definitely win!" Huo Yuhao smiled.
.........
Ten Fragrance was the only one fighting in the first match. Although she said that she was the only one fighting, her strength as an eight-ringed Soul Douluo meant that the people from Zhengtian Academy could only forfeit!
On the other hand, Shrek Academy only sent out one student for the second round. Everyone was shocked when they saw this. Could it be that this fellow was like that girl? Or rather, the other seven were the same!! Everyone thought to themselves.
Both sides came to the center of the competition stage and faced each other. As they already knew each other's identity, Huo Yuhao did not speak again. The first to speak was the captain of Zhengtian Academy, Heartless.
"Shrek is Shrek after all. Although I don't know why Shrek Academy sent you to participate in the competition, you've won respect with your strength. Even if you lose, you won't disgrace Shrek Academy. I'm Heartless, the captain of Zhengtian Academy. This is Shangguan Can!"
Huo Yuhao answered casually," I'm Huo Yuhao from Shrek!”Both of them were furious at Huo Yuhao's arrogant attitude, but they didn't say anything. It all depended on their strength!
Cai Ban looked at Huo Yuhao, took a deep breath and shouted,""Let the competition begin."
Following the loud shout of the start of the match, both sides released their martial souls at the same time.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao only had a white ten-year soul ring and a purple thousand-year soul ring.
What kind of spirit ring configuration was this? The difference was too great! Even the audience couldn't help but shout in their hearts.
Just as everyone was in shock, Huo Yuhao snapped his fingers, and something magical happened…
A ripple suddenly spread out from behind Huo Yuhao. The space behind him seemed to have transformed into a lake at this moment. It gently fluctuated, and then the surface of the lake suddenly turned crimson!
At the same time, weapons with terrifying auras emerged from the surface of the lake one after another, creating ripples and hanging behind Huo Yuhao!
There were nearly a hundred of them!
The audience was stunned. Heartless and Shangguan Can were stunned. Emperor Star Luo, who was sitting on the high platform, was similarly stunned.
Huo Yuhao snapped his fingers, and suddenly, countless weapons hanging in the air pointed at the two of them! They could not help but feel their scalps go numb!
" I'll give you a chance now. I'll count to three. If you still don't admit defeat, then I'm sorry, you can only do skewers." Huo Yuhao's lazy voice made everyone tremble.
"One!" Huo Yuhao didn't give them any time to react.
"Wait a minute!" Heartless still wanted to say something, but Huo Yuhao did not seem to want to listen at all. He continued to speak.
"Two!" When Heartless saw this, he gritted his teeth and shouted.
"We acknowledge…"
"Three!" Before Heartless could finish his sentence, Huo Yuhao had finished counting his variables. At the same time, Huo Yuhao's hand, which was still in a snapping position, swung down. Instantly, the weapon hanging in midair trembled slightly and suddenly shot out, heading straight for Heartless and his partner! However, he missed!
Nearly ten weapons that contained powerful pressure shot out and brushed past them...
Boom! The two of them heard a loud noise and turned around, only to find that the ground behind them was full of potholes. There were several large pits with a diameter of several meters. In the middle of the pits was an ice-cold weapon that emitted a bloodthirsty aura. Seeing this, they could not help but feel a chill!
Gulp... Heartless and Shangguan Can swallowed their saliva at the same time. If they had been hit, they would probably have been dead!
"Referee! They just admitted defeat! Can we announce the results now?" Huo Yuhao put away his weapon and said to the judge who was still in a daze.
The referee stared blankly at him, forgetting to announce Shrek Academy's victory.
Huo Yuhao sighed helplessly. Ignoring everyone's gaze, he slowly walked down the stage and left with everyone. They went back to the hotel…
Leaving behind everyone who was stunned.
