After trying everything, the temperature in the space cage had reached an unbearable level. Dai Yue'er, the weakest among them, had almost exhausted her soul power from resisting the heat.
Sensing Dai Yue'er's plight, neither Long Yue nor Dai Yueyan could let anything happen to their little princess of the Star Luo Empire in the ring.
As the captain, Long Yue sighed softly. He was reluctant to do so, but he had no choice against this spatial cage. The same went for the other students.
So, out of desperation, Long Yue said: "We concede."
The girl floating outside the cage in the flame space heard Long Yue's declaration of defeat and did not humiliate them. She gently waved the key-shaped staff in her hand, and the cage that trapped the Monster Academy vanished.
If it weren't for the hot air filling the atmosphere and the weary Monster Academy members, everything would have seemed like nothing had happened.
As Anping and Gu Yuena landed on the ground and returned to their original places, both the eight kings of Monster Academy and the audience watching the match fell silent.
It was a bizarre outcome. Long Yue and his teammates had not even touched the edges of Anping and Gu Yuena's clothes, yet they had lost the entire match.
The girl formed by the fusion skills of Anping and Gu Yuena's martial souls looked more like a student from the Monster Academy. But appearances were deceiving. Gu Yuena controlled the spirit fusion skill to dodge in the air, not just to evade attacks.
Every time she flickered in the air, Gu Yuena left a trace of magic power in the spot where she had been. Eventually, these magic powers connected as nodes to form the final flame space cage.
It was not that Gu Yuena lacked an easier way to win. The reason why she achieved the final victory in such a complicated way was mainly because she had learned some new things in Anping's library during this period and wanted to try them out.
After all, Gu Yuena had only been exposed to the wizard's training system for a short time, and it was not easy to adapt to a new system so quickly, which resulted in the current effect.
If it had been Anping, it would not have been so troublesome. Such a spell could have been cast almost instantly. Anping felt that they could not afford to lose to anyone. Since Gu Yuena wanted to try something new, he let her do it.
Seeing Anping and Gu Yuena achieve the final victory, the people of Shrek Academy were the most astonished. They knew that Tang Wulin, Wu Zhangkong, and Xie Xie had spent a lot of time with Anping and Gu Yuena.
And just a year ago, they had competed with Anping and Gu Yuena at Sun Moon Academy. At that time, the impression that Anping and Gu Yuena gave them was already strong enough. They did not expect that they would improve so much in such a short time. Their strength had increased tremendously.
Cai Yue'er also gained a new insight into the power of Anping and Gu Yuena. Ordinary people might only see the girl on the field hiding here and there. But she could tell that the girl was not wasting her time. The flame space cage formed at the end must have had some relation to the path of the girl's escape.
Even if it did not matter, the person who controlled the girl's dodge had some amazing skills in space. This was the first time she had seen someone at this age use space to such a degree.
However, it was a pity for Cai Yue'er that the arena for this duel was of the highest standard. The barrier covering the arena was extremely isolating. Even her mental power was not enough to penetrate the barrier, which caused her to miss out on a lot.
Tang Wulin, who had always wanted to pursue Gu Yuena, felt doubts in his heart. With his current cultivation speed, could he ever catch up with her? He also wondered whether the power of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline in him was really that formidable.
Seeing Tang Wulin in a daze, Xie Xie nudged him lightly with his arm and asked: "Wulin, what's wrong? You're not feeling down, are you? Let me tell you, we just need to practice hard on our own. It's better not to compare ourselves with those two freaks."
Wu Zhangkong was worried that their self-confidence would be shattered by Anping and Gu Yuena's effortless victory over the Monster Academy, so he also said: "You have to remember one thing: you practice for yourself, not to compete with others."
Hearing Xie Xie and Wu Zhangkong's words of comfort, Tang Wulin realized that the people around him were the most important to him. He nodded firmly and said, "You're right, I'm overthinking. I'll pay more attention!"
Observing Tang Wulin snap out of it and noting the similar reactions from other students, Cai Yue'er nodded slightly. Perhaps they genuinely had a chance to become the new Shrek Seven Monsters and bear the future of Shrek Academy. Maybe.
As the referee, En Ci saw Long Yue concede. He was stunned for a moment before announcing: "I declare that in this special exchange match, Anping and Gu Yuena from Douluo Continent Sun and Moon Academy have won the final victory."
Concerned about irreversible damage to the students of his Academy, En Ci stayed within the barrier of the arena. This allowed him to see the various actions of the girl under Gu Yuena's control more clearly.
But the more he saw, the more curious he was about the principle. He thought hard, but he couldn't figure it out. He could only attribute the part he didn't understand to the magic of Anping and Gu Yuena's martial soul fusion skill.
This also led to the fact that as the referee of this exchange match, he did not announce the result right away after Long Yue gave up.
Compared to Cai Yue'er and En Ci who could see something, the audience was the most perplexed. The girl formed by the fusion skill of Anping and Gu Yuena's martial souls was indeed very stunning, but no one could comprehend the girl's subsequent behavior.
Especially the flame space cage that appeared at the end, without any warning, gave people a baffling feeling. Not only the audience, but even the host who was the commentator didn't know how to explain.
Next was Dai Tianling. Besides being impressed by the strength of Anping and Gu Yuena, he also felt a bit of distress. Rare materials that could be equivalent to a hundred thousand year old soul bone were not a small sum.
Although he had known for a long time that Anping and Gu Yuena were prepared, what he didn't expect was that Anping and Gu Yuena could be so strong.
However, Dai Tianling didn't have any other thoughts. The other party had a guard that even En Ci felt was dangerous. If the other party did anything in their Star Luo Empire because of this, it would probably be a huge disaster for their Star Luo Empire.
