It wasn't long before the voice of the elder rang out from the platform, "Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Device Academy versus Qingheng Team! Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Device Academy wins!"
Xiao Hongchen, with a face full of disdain, looked down upon the captain of the Qingheng Team squatting opposite him, sneering, "With such strength, you dream of victory? Ridiculous!"
By his side, Meng Hongchen echoed, "Exactly! I really don't know how you made it into the top sixteen."
Such insulting words spilled out and directly darkened the face of the captain of the Qingheng Team. Clenching his teeth, he hissed, "Damn it! You're pushing us too far! Did you just win by luck, right?"
The other members of the Qingheng Team also retorted unwillingly, "If it weren't for these people on the side interfering with us, who would you Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Device Academy think you are?"
"That's right, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Device Academy just likes to use such low-handed tactics. If Tang Sect hadn't deliberately forfeited, it wouldn't be your turn to enter the top sixteen!"
Meanwhile, the captain of Tian Ling Sect, kneeling to one side, was taken aback, suddenly realizing someone was passing the blame onto his team, and shouted, "Hey! That Qingheng Team member, don't go too far, what do you mean we interfered?"
The man kneeling beside him whispered a reminder, "Captain, shush, don't talk. As long as nobody pays attention to us, just let them say what they want!"
Xiao Hongchen glanced at the Qingheng Team, then at the members of Tian Ling Sect…
With an icy tone, he cursed, "Both teams are useless trash! Let's go."
Having said that, the members of Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Device Academy all turned and left…
At this time, the pressure on Tian Ling Sect lifted, and they immediately scurried away from the scene of the Continental Young Soul Master Elite Competition…
The elder sighed and continued to announce, "The next match, Tang Sect Battle Team versus Fiery Battle Team! The battling method: individual elimination match!"
Below the stage, Huo Yuhao heard this and smiled lightly, "Looks like we're in luck this time! Another individual elimination match!"
Ma Xiaotao, supporting her chin in thought, said, "This time we're facing a team with fire-attribute Martial Souls, completely different from the previous Botany Academy."
Bei Bei slowly stood up, eyes gleaming with the will to fight, "Then let's go! Our Tang Sect's goal is the finals!"
The rest nodded, saying, "Yeah!"
Subsequently, the group headed towards the platform for their match…
…
On the other side, the pupils of the members from Shrek Academy were intently fixed on the Tang Sect team members on the platform!
Dai Yaoheng pondered before saying, "Tang Sect, because of the deliberate forfeiture, will probably need to win four or five rounds today to have a chance to advance to the quarter-finals."
Ningtian also chimed in, "Yeah! With their strength, advancing to the quarter-finals shouldn't be too hard!"
Wu Feng clenched her fists, excitedly saying, "Just thinking about facing them in the finals gets me so thrilled!"
Defeating Tang Sect would allow them to retain the championship title once more, living up to the name of Shrek Seven Monsters!
Dai Yaoheng's eyes shifted to Qian Yu and he said, "The championship will definitely be ours, as long as Elder Qian Yu doesn't deliberately throw in the towel for the foreigners, we will absolutely not lose!"
Ling Luoshang simply expelled two words from her mouth, "Indeed!"
Qian Yu's mouth twitched slightly, feeling the weight of expectations resting entirely upon him…
…
On the platform, the members of the Fiery Battle Team discussed with unsightly expressions…
"How come we're facing Tang Sect in the first round? This is basically telling us to leave the Continental Young Soul Master Elite Competition!"
"With their comprehensive strength, we have no chance of victory at all!"
"I want to forfeit, Captain. There's no chance of winning! And it's an individual elimination match too, my head hurts!"
The captain of the Fiery Battle Team, who looked very hearty, seeing his team members so dispirited, encouraged, "Don't lose heart, everyone. Even if we lose, we cannot cower! Our goal is to temper ourselves, not just for rankings!"
With these morale-stabilizing words, the determination in the eyes of the Fiery Battle Team members increased.
Then, his gaze turned to Huo Yuhao on the other side, and he said, "We, the Fiery Battle Team, are honored to face Tang Sect. I hope that you will show your true strength during the battle!"
Huo Yuhao smiled faintly, "We will."
The elder raised his arm and said, "Please have one member from each side come forward for the duel!"
Yuhao turned his head toward Wang Dong'er and whispered, "Wang Dong, you go first in this round!"
Wang Dong'er's eyes flickered with a hint of surprise, but she did not refuse and calmly walked to the front of the team...
Tang Ya whispered, "Go Dong'er, take them down in one fell swoop!"
Xu Sanshi also shouted, "Wang Dong, show them your true strength!"
Meanwhile, captain of the Fiery Battle Team turned to a teammate and said, "Mo Heng, you're up first this round!"
The one called Mo Heng grunted an acknowledgement, stepped forward from the team, and looked at Wang Dong'er with a solemn gaze...
The elder's cloudy eyes swept over the two competitors and spoke again, "Please release your Martial Souls and Soul Rings!"
As the words fell, Wang Dong'er's pinkish-purple eyes brightened, and behind her, magnificent wings unfolded quietly, fluttering like a butterfly...
Below her feet, six soul rings rose...
Purple, purple, black, black, black, red!
Such was a terrifying configuration that surpassed the best Soul Ring Configuration!
Upon seeing the hundred-thousand-year soul ring beneath Wang Dong'er's feet, Mo Heng couldn't help but take a deep breath to steady his mind...
He then also released his Martial Soul, which was a flame-covered firebird...
Six soul rings rose beneath his feet...
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black!
The elder waved his arm, "Begin the duel!"
Mo Heng's first soul ring lit up, "First Soul Skill, Flame Slash!"
The firebird's claws behind him glowed with a crimson light and then swung towards Wang Dong'er...
A claw-shaped attack, about five meters in size and emanating a scorching glow, burst forth, striking towards Wang Dong'er...
Wang Dong'er quickly flapped her wings, taking to the sky with ease and effortlessly dodging the move...
Ascending into the air, her second soul ring lit up, "Second Soul Skill, Butterfly Goddess' Light!"
From the golden patterns on her wings, dense light spheres began to emerge, blanketing the area below...
Seeing the light spheres descending slowly, Mo Heng muttered to himself, "An area bombardment attack, huh? Don't think you're the only one who can fly!"
The second soul ring beneath his feet lit up...
Second Soul Skill, Wings of Flame!
Flames started to appear behind him, and a pair of wings made of fire gradually took shape...
Then, he flapped the wings vigorously and soared swiftly towards Wang Dong'er above him...
And without a doubt, the countless light spheres missed their target, falling to the ground and causing a series of golden explosions...
Wang Dong saw through Mo Heng's intentions, which was to engage her in close quarters combat!
A captivating smile curled on her lips, "Close-quarters combat, you say? I don't fear that at all!"
The first soul ring beneath her feet lit up,
Wing Scythe!
On the edges of her wings, sharp golden light edges formed, greatly enhancing their destructive power!
Without hesitation, she collided with the oncoming Mo Heng...
