The trouble of leveling up too quickly … I won't go bald, right?

Fang Xuan's first thought was of his luxuriant hair. He was very worried, afraid that he would follow in the footsteps of a certain baldy.

So what if he could destroy the earth with one punch?

Wouldn't he still be bald?!

This was related to his image, so he had to be careful. After letting his imagination run wild, Fang Xuan had to face a cruel reality. Because his rank was too high, it seemed that he couldn't participate in the match between the Shrek Team and the Emperor Team.

This was because the Great Soul Arena had a clear rule.

If a team of Soul Experts had a member who broke through rank 40, the standard of the entire team would be raised and they had to face a Soul Ancestor team.

Therefore, even though Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and the others were still Soul Elders, Fang Xuan had accumulated a large amount of Soul force due to the continuous battles. His force level soared and directly reached rank 45.

The Great Soul Arena was different from the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament. As long as one's age didn't exceed the age limit, as long as one's talent was high enough, one's qualifications wouldn't be restricted no matter how high one's rank was. Therefore, the higher one's rank was, the better.

However, the Great Soul Arena was particular about rank equality. After all, it was a spectator match. If the difference in rank between the two teams was too high, there would be no suspense in the battle and the audience would be bored watching.

What should I do?!

Fang Xuan was depressed. He had been sharpening his broadsword for a month, waiting to cut down the main character of the storyline, Tang San. He wanted to see if the system would give him any extra rewards.

He didn't expect that he wouldn't be allowed to participate now …

After a moment of silence, a thought flashed through his mind.

Fang Xuan's eyes sparkled. He said mysteriously,

"Teacher Qin Ming, how about I hide my rank and secretly participate in the match?!"

"Uh …"

Qin Ming, Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling were stunned. They all looked at Fang Xuan with disdain.

"Terrible" Dugu Yan said.

"How embarrassing," Ye Lingling said.

"I don't think that's a good idea …" Yu Tianheng's expression was a little funny.

Eh?

What's wrong with you guys?

I'm trying to help you, but you still dare to look down on me.

Noticing everyone's strange gazes, Fang Xuan silently cursed. He thought that if he didn't make a move, Heaven Dou and the rest of the trash would be crushed by Shrek.

"No, we can't do something so opportunistic. It'll damage the reputation of the Emperor Team. Besides, Fang Xuan, your current rank is too high. You've already surpassed the rank of a Soul Expert. If you go up, our team's advantage will be too great. Even if we defeat the Shrek Team, we won't be able to temper our team members."

Qin Ming shook his head and rejected Fang Xuan's suggestion.

"But Teacher Qin Ming, this Shrek Team's strength isn't ordinary. I've heard that if I don't go up, just Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and the rest won't necessarily be a match for them" Fang Xuan explained.

"Hey! Fang Xuan, why are you boosting their morale and undermining our own? Aren't they just a bunch of guys who came from some random corner? Some of them aren't even ranked 30. What a joke."Dugu Yan coldly snorted.

There was a document on the Shrek Team on the table. It recorded the basic information of Shrek's team members.

[Shrek Seven Monsters]

[Captain: Evil Eyed White Tiger Dai Mubai. Martial Soul: Hell White Tiger. Rank 38 Assault System Battle Soul Master. Soul Rings Two Yellow and One Purple]

[Vice-captain: Thousand Arms Asura Tang San. Martial Soul: Bluesilver Grass. Rank 32 Control System Battle Soul Master. Soul Rings Two Yellow and One Purple]

[Team Member: Soft Bone Demon Rabbit Xiao Wu. Martial Soul: Rabbit. Rank 31 Assault System Battle Soul Master. Soul Rings Two Yellow and One Purple]

[Team Member: Sausage Man Oscar. Martial Soul: Sausage. Rank 31 Support System Battle Soul Master. Soul Rings Two Yellow and One Purple]

[Team Member: Evil Phoenix Ma Hongjun. Martial Soul: Fire Phoenix. Rank 28 Assault System Battle Soul Master. Soul Rings: Two Yellow]

[Team Member: Netherworld Civet Zhu Zhuqing. Martial Soul: Netherworld Civet. Rank 28 Agility System Battle Soul Master. Soul Rings: Two Yellow]

[Team Member: Seven Treasures Glazed Ning Rongrong. Martial Soul: Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda. Rank 27 Support System Battle Soul Master. Soul Rings: Two Yellow]

Based on the analysis of the data, Shrek Seven's level and strength were far inferior to the Emperor Team.

Some of them hadn't even reached Rank 30, so it was no wonder that Dugu Yan looked down on them.

Most importantly, there was a special note at the bottom of the Shrek Team's data: Shrek Seven had won 27 matches in a row within a month without a single defeat.

Even the Mad Team, whose average level was 35, had been defeated by them. Their true strength wasn't as simple as their level suggested.

In addition, the vice-captain of the Shrek Team, Thousand Arms Asura Tang San needed special attention. This person's control ability was extremely strong and could often turn the tide.

"Haha, a mere Bluesilver Grass Battle Soul Master, and only Rank 32 at that. What a joke. Even if you overestimate yourself, there should be a limit" Dugu Yan couldn't help but laugh.

"Hmph!"

Qin Ming snorted coldly. An icy aura rippled out, causing many of the students to be aghast. Not long ago, he had broken through the threshold of Rank 60 and become a six-ringed Soul Emperor. His strength was extremely powerful.

Even the arrogant and unruly Dugu Yan didn't dare to be impudent in front of Teacher Qin.

"Yan, you're a member of the Emperor Team. How can you underestimate your opponent like this? If you go on stage with such an attitude, I'm sure you'll suffer" Qin Ming warned seriously.

"Just as Fang Xuan said, this Shrek Team can't be underestimated. For some reason, I know some things about Shrek, so I'm sure that Shrek Seven Monsters will be the strongest opponent our Emperor Team has ever faced since we formed"

Hearing Qin Ming's solemn words, everyone became solemn and restrained their contempt from before.

As the coach of the Emperor Team, Qin Ming's words carried a lot of weight. They didn't dare to be careless and underestimate their opponent. They all decided to go all out and treat this match seriously.

"So … let me hide my rank and secretly go on stage"

Fang Xuan quietly suggested.

The moment Fang Xuan's words came out, it instantly broke the serious atmosphere. Everyone's expressions gradually became comical again.

"Alright, let's not talk about hiding your rank anymore" Qin Ming's face darkened. He glared at Fang Xuan and continued, "But you're right. From now on, we do need your strength as the leader of the Emperor Team. Otherwise, with just Tianheng, Yanzi, and the others, we don't have a hundred percent chance of defeating the Shrek Team"

"You want me to participate in the match, but you don't want me to hide my rank. What should we do?" Fang Xuan was speechless.

At this moment, a strange smile appeared on Ye Lingling's cute face. She looked at Fang Xuan with evil intentions. "I heard that removing your Soul Bone can lower your rank by ten. Why don't you give it a try, Leader"

"Bang"

Fang Xuan smacked her on the head. The silver-haired loli was in so much pain that tears flowed down her cheeks.
