196 Shrek Vs Monster (3)

Since he couldn't defeat Long Yue head-on, Tang Wulin thought of bypassing him and taking down some of his teammates from Monster Academy first. He reasoned that, although Long Yue was powerful, he wouldn't be able to beat the six of them without any backup.

But Long Yue was not blind to Tang Wulin's intentions. He clearly didn't want to give him any opportunity.

He swung his spear and charged at Tang Wulin, who felt helpless. Long Yue was faster and stronger than him, and that was without using any soul skills.

Long Yue glanced at Tang Wulin, who was dodging his attacks with his own strength, and decided to use his soul skills to end the fight quickly.

After all, he still had to face the mysterious Anping and Gu Yuena later. He was more excited about that battle than the one with Shrek Academy.

So he didn't want to waste any more time on Tang Wulin and his friends. He aimed his spear at Tang Wulin and said, "I'm going to use my soul skills next, so I suggest you surrender now. Otherwise, if you get hurt later, don't blame me for not warning you."

During the chase, Tang Wulin had suffered a broken right hand and several wounds on his body. He knew that Long Yue wouldn't kill him on the ring, so he always avoided his strikes in a thrilling manner.

But sometimes, when it was too hard to evade, Tang Wulin would hide behind the spear tip, and every time he did that, Long Yue would withdraw some of his power.

That made Tang Wulin realize that Long Yue didn't dare to kill them on the ring. But he had no time to think about why Long Yue did that, as the battle was still going on.

Even though Long Yue reduced his force every time Tang Wulin touched the tip of his spear, injuries were unavoidable. Now Tang Wulin's green Shrek Academy uniform was stained with blood. It was red, and the upper part of his uniform was almost torn to shreds.

When he heard Long Yue say that he was going to use his soul skills, Tang Wulin frowned slightly and thought to himself, yes, he hasn't used any soul skills until now. If he did, he might have been lying on the ring already.

But Tang Wulin didn't want to give up. Ever since he joined Shrek Academy, he had received all kinds of care. Shrek Academy felt like home to him. For the glory of Shrek Academy, he didn't want to admit defeat.

But other than letting Tang San use his last bit of divine power to beat him, Tang Wulin couldn't think of any way to deal with him.

He was not the only one who was injured. On the other side of the battlefield, since Long Yue had fused with his martial soul to summon his battle armor, they knew that he wanted to finish the fight quickly, so they all put on their own battle armor as well.

On Monster Academy's side, except for Dai Yun'er, they were all one-word armor masters. As for Shrek Academy, because Tang Wulin had been unable to forge due to the damage to his bloodline power, their battle armor progress was much slower.

Moreover, after Le Zhengyu left, they also lost one person who could provide them with rare metals. As a result, from the time when Tang Wulin's bloodline power was fully restored until now, each of them had only gained two or three pieces of battle armor. That was how it looked.

Facing four one-word battle armor masters, plus the amplifying effect of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the Shrek Academy students were at a disadvantage. Except for Xu Lizhi, who was eliminated early due to his lack of combat skills, almost everyone was injured.

Tang Wulin was still holding on, even though he was covered in blood. He and his friends didn't want to give up so easily. But they felt a surge of despair when they faced the Monster Academy students, who had higher levels and more complete armors than them.

Cai Yue'er cared deeply about this match. It was not only about the reputation of Shrek Academy in the Star Luo Empire, but also about the safety of Tang Wulin and the others.

She was moved by the Shrek students' perseverance, even though they had no chance of winning. But she made up her mind and said: "This match... our Shrek Academy surrenders!"

Tang Wulin and the others knew Cai Yue'er's voice very well, after spending so much time together. And they knew that if they defied her, they would face her wrath later.

So when they heard Cai Yue'er's words, they stopped fighting. The Monster Academy students also stopped, as they had no reason to attack them anymore.

The referee landed on the ring and asked Tang Wulin: "You are the captain of Team Shrek, right? Are you sure you want to surrender?"

Tang Wulin was reluctant, but he also knew that they were no match for their opponents. Now that Cai Yue'er had spoken, he wouldn't argue or resist. He nodded and said: "We surrender!"

He did this not because he didn't trust Cai Yue'er, but because he respected the rules of the competition. After getting Tang Wulin's confirmation, the referee announced: "Monster Academy team wins this match."

The Monster Academy students didn't linger on the ring. They quickly left, as they had another match to prepare for. The fight against Shrek Academy seemed easy, but it had drained a lot of their soul power.

They didn't know much about their next opponents, Anping and Gu Yuena, who hadn't participated in the previous matches. But they could sense En Ci's seriousness when he mentioned them.

Even their dean had trouble dealing with them. They couldn't afford to underestimate them, even though there were only two of them. They had to face them with their best attitude. That was why Long Yue, even though he had used his martial soul and battle armor, had refrained from using his soul skills.

The same couldn't be said for the other students, except for Long Yue. They had used various soul skills to defeat the Shrek Academy students quickly. Now they had to go back to the lounge and recover. They had to face Anping and Gu Yuena with their full strength.

The Shrek Academy students didn't want to stay on the ring any longer either. But Tang Wulin's clenched left fist showed his unwillingness.

He was not the only one who felt that way. The other Shrek Academy students were also unhappy, but they had to accept the reality.
