"Shrek Academy!! Shrek Academy!!"
"Shrek Academy!! Shrek Academy!!"
"So strong, that coordination was simply perfect, especially that Ice Prison cast by the female member at the end! It completely sealed off the enemy!"
"If you ask me, it was the captain of the Shrek Seven Monsters who was really impressive. A Light Shield that even seventh-grade soul cannonballs couldn't blast through was actually punched through by him!"
"They've totally seen through the Glorious Moon Team's strategy. This captain of the Shrek Seven Monsters is truly fearsome!"
Afterward, the Shrek Seven Monsters left the arena amidst the enormous cheer...
Sitting down on the chair, Xiao Xiao flashed an annoyed look at Wu Feng next to her and said discontentedly, "Wu Feng, everyone has had their turn, yet we're the only ones left watching the show!"
Wu Feng first was stunned, then nodded angrily, "Exactly, exactly, individual elimination rounds are better! We don't even get a chance to act in team battles!"
Even this brawler found herself watching from the sidelines!
Dai Yaoheng spread his hands and said, "Xiao Xiao, to be honest, it's only you who's been watching. After all, Wu Feng did showcase her skills in the last individual match."
Wu Feng's eyes lit up, her mood improving greatly as she exclaimed with joy, "Now that I think about it, that's true! Xiao Xiao, you haven't had a turn at all, while I've at least fought in three matches!"
Ningtian blinked her beautiful eyes playfully, "That's right, that's right. I also had my turn this time! Hehe, Xiao Xiao, you're really pitiful!"
Ling Luochang coldly spat out two words, "Pitiful."
Xiao Xiao, her chest trembling with anger, pointed at Ningtian and the others, "You... you guys!"
Feeling helpless, Xiao Xiao could only turn her hopeful gaze to Elder Qian Yu, pretending to be pitiful, "Elder Qian Yu, it should be my turn next time, right?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Yu smiled faintly a few times, "Alright, if the next match is an individual knockout, you'll be the first to go up."
He thought duels were troublesome, yet his own team members had the complete opposite mentality, each eager to get on stage and showcase themselves...
Thinking it over, Xiao Xiao indeed seemed pitiful, not having participated in a single battle since the start of the tournament!
Xiao Xiao said with delight, "Elder Qian Yu, it's a promise then! No backing out!"
Having said that, she turned her head and flaunted to Wu Feng and the others...
As they were talking, the elder's voice rang out once more, "The next match, Tang Sect versus Skylake Team!"
…
At the very front of the spectator seats, Xu Tianran, with a worried face, turned to the woman in palace attire beside him and asked, "Master... Juzi, are you really confident about handling the people from the Holy Spirit Cult? They are not easy to manipulate."
"Besides, didn't that person say that if you wished, you could even use a tenth-grade Spirit Guidance Device to obliterate the Xingluo Empire!"
This time, Juzi, in order not to let these sects and academies interfere with her plan to level the Xingluo Empire, even went so far as to cooperate with the Holy Spirit Cult!
He himself thought it completely unnecessary, hence his suggestion.
Juzi was taken aback, her eyes flashing with an endless chill as she glanced at Xu Tianran, "It is only meaningful if I personally bring down the Xingluo Empire…"
What of the Holy Spirit Cult, they too could only become pawns in her game!
This cooperation, though suggested to weaken the other academies and sects, was also to weaken the Holy Spirit Cult!
Otherwise, once this organization grew, it would seriously affect her plans!
Xu Tianran nodded slightly, respectfully saying, "Is that so? I understand! But you had best also prepare for other contingencies."
Sitting two rows behind them, Mirror Dust squinted his eyes, seemingly lost in thought...
He always felt that there was something odd about Juzi and Xu Tianran's relationship but couldn't put his finger on it!
Unable to figure it out, his murky eyes turned toward the Tang Sect members on the battle stage and he thought to himself, "But this Tang Sect... definitely deserves attention!"
Their displayed strength had even surpassed that of the Shrek Academy team!
Not to mention the two women who hadn't even released their Martial Souls yet!
```
He had been using the soul tool from the very beginning to the end, but the way he handled it was clumsy, not at all like a Soul Master...
It looks like I need to remind Mirror Dust and the others to be cautious...
...
At this moment, Beibei's eyes on the battle platform blazed with fighting spirit, and his fifth soul ring lit up...
He roared, "Fifth soul skill, Dragon Emperor Breaks Evil Split!"
Immediately after, he fused all his strength and unleashed four palm strikes glowing with lightning from his dragon claws, attacking the female student from the Skylake Team...
A female member of the Skylake Team kicked Xu Sanshi away and, facing the terrifying attack, her expression darkened for a moment...
She shouted coldly, "Dream on! Fifth soul skill, Profound Water Shield!"
Her fifth soul ring lit up...
Around her, a water shield roughly four to five meters in diameter, rippling with waves, quietly formed...
Beibei's palm strikes bombarded the water shield and were instantly assimilated, as if their speed had been restricted, losing all their power!
Huo Yuhao, observing this scene, narrowed his eyes and thought, "This water shield is so strange! But Big Brother Beibei's Dragon Emperor Breaks Evil Split consists of four palms!"
Sure enough, after the first palm strike of Dragon Emperor Breaks Evil Split was absorbed by the water shield, another strike followed soon after...
As the water shield took in the fourth palm strike, the water began to tremble...
The female student's face changed, and she said with an ugly expression, "This is bad! It has reached the water shield's maximum capacity! How terrifying is this man's strike?"
The next moment, there was a loud "bang" as the water shield, unable to withstand the attack, exploded...
The released shockwave hit her squarely, sending her flying several meters before she smashed into the ground and fell into unconsciousness...
On the other side, Xu Sanshi's eyes fixed on a female student, and a mischievous smile flickered across his lips...
His fourth soul ring lit up...
The female student, seeing Xu Sanshi's sleazy smile, shuddered with disgust and said, "That smile is so disgusting"
Just as she was about to unleash her soul skill, she suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented...
She rubbed her head and quickly came back to her senses, shocked to find that her position had changed...
At the same time, she saw a flash of golden light in front of her— it was Jiang Nannan who had used her teleporting soul skill!
Jiang Nannan's leg swept up, sending her flying, and then her first soul ring lit up...
First soul skill, Lumbar Arch!
She then leaped up and struck the airborne female student several times...
The latter's body fell helplessly from the sky to the ground, clearly having lost the ability to fight!
At that moment, Huo Yuhao called out to Tang Ya and Wang Dong, who were continuously harassing their opponents with the Bluesilver Emperor, "Sister Tang Ya, Wang Dong!"
Hearing Huo Yuhao's voice, the two nodded in understanding...
Then, Tang Ya clasped her hands together, and countless resilient Bluesilver Emperors bound all the students from the Skylake Team at an incredibly fast rate, the paralyzing toxin injected into their bodies rendering them incapable of resistance for a short period!
In midair, Wang Dong's third soul ring lit up!
Third soul skill, Butterfly God Chop!!
A hundred and eight dazzling terrifying area attacks descended from the sky and struck the members of the Skylake Team, creating waves of mist...
As the mist slowly cleared, a voice rang out on the field...
"Tang Sect against Aqua Sky Academy, Tang Sect wins!"
