The battle continued to go on as many Academies faced each others. The countless variety of spirit ring skill also managed to broaden the Shrek Seven Devils and substitutes horizon.

But suddenly an unexpected arrival caught Tang Ming's attention as he turned his face in the direction, well not unexpected after seeing who it is. Zhu Zhuqing who was resting her head at his shoulder also looked toward her but didn't show any emotion on her face.

There standing in all her glory was Huo Wu. Dressed in a fiery red sensational short dress as usual showing quiet a bit of her skin and perfectly catching people curiosity to know what underneath it. She was walking toward their group and looked somewhat annoyed.

When Tang Ming turned toward her, others also looked at her direction trying to see what caught Tang Ming's attention. Tang San seeing it was Huo Wu also had a solemn expression on his face, afterall the last match against them was really a close call and if not for his Blue Silver Grass being fire resistant, he would've definitely become injured.

Ma Hongjun and Oscar shared a perverted look with each other as they parted way for her, making a direct path toward Tang Ming.

Huo Wu expression looked as if she was looking at her crush, as she looked at Tang Ming with determination before saying,

"Can we talk privately for a moment?"

Tang Ming looked at her in the eyes before nodding his head. Huo Wu seeing this walked away expecting Tang Ming to follow her.

Tang Ming looked at Zhu Zhuqing's big eyes, which was staring right back at him. With a smile he caressed her face, tucking some of her hair behind her ears as he said in an affectionate tone.

"I'll be right back, Zhuqing. Then you can again continue to rest on my shoulders, okay?"

"Hn." Zhu Zhuqing nodded her head cutely while sitting straight up.

Tang Ming also stood up as he followed behind Huo Wu. They both continued to walk for some distance as she led him toward an empty gallery in the back of the arena.

She finally stopped there and turned around, walking slowly toward him and looking at him firmly. Tang Ming also leaned slightly at the wall waiting for her explanation.

"Tang Ming, when it's our academies turn to battle each other, I hope you will face me. Let's fight fairly and see who is stronger between us."

Tang Ming gazed at her walking toward him but still shook his head in denial.

"Sorry, but i can't promise you this."

Huo Wu looked angry hearing Tang Ming's answer. She arrived in front of him as she rested one of her hands beside Tang Ming's face, trying to look intimidating.

"You don't dare to fight with me!"

"The sequence of the battles are not determined by me, it is decided by the teachers.."

"You!!"

Before Tang Ming can finish what he wanted to say, Huo Wu put her second hand beside his face locking him in, as their face came too close to each other. Tang Ming seeing this rose one of his eyebrows in question.

Without giving her a moment to react he held her waist and turned around, effectively putting her back against the wall. The situation reversed too fast for Huo Wu to react just what happened.

Now in control, Tang Ming still held her waist by one of his hands while putting his other hand on the wall beside her face as he leaned in closer, stopping just an inch away from her face, looking directly in her eyes.

"Be careful of what you do, Miss Huo Wu. As I too rather have a short temper. You wouldn't want something untoward to happen to you now, would you?"

Tang Ming said with extreme calm. He had seen all of it, this girl is the same how Ning Rongrong before used to be. Arrogant, prideful and full of self-conceit, thinking the whole world revolves around her. She is the type who is used to get praise and reverence from others.

And he specially hated these types of people the most, but ironically he also encountered them quite frequently.

'It's as if the world wants me to correct them or either crush them..'

Huo Wu looked at Tang Ming who at this moment looked quite intimidating even though his face was literally expressionless but she didn't back down and continued to stare back at him defiantly, challenging him to do something.

"Even though I can not guarantee that we will face each other in the tournament, I'll gladly battle you after it ends and that's if, you would still have the will left to battle me."

Tang Ming released her waist and backed up as he returned back to his eye closed smiling signature face before continuing..

"And to be honest with you, I quite like crushing arrogant people like you the most, I'll gladly crush your spirit too if you so desire it."

Without letting her say anything in response, he turned around and left, leaving Huo Wu who stomped her feet and gnashed her teeth in anger.

As he returned back to his place, everybody looked at him as he nodded his head toward them before retiring to his seat with Zhuqing.

He immediately embraced Zhu Zhuqing's waist as he comfortably sat with her while the latter just looked at him before simply resting her head at his shoulder, also closing her eyes.

'Hm, yep. My Zhuqing's the best.'

There was no other battle left for Shrek Academy today but they continued to watch the other academies, only getting back to their resting camp later in the evening.

They all sat together around a bonfire they made as they chatted about the other academies while also eating their dinner.

"Who do you think will pose us a greater challenge in this one on one battle, Mubai?"

Tang Ming asked.

"If it's one vs one, i hardly think any academy will give us a problem. But if I have to say, it would probably be Skywater or Thunderclap academy."

Mubai said after thinking for a moment.

"Why so?" Ma Hongjun asked curiously.

"It's because most of the Skywater Academy student have greater advantage against us one vs one as most of them have good control and defensive ability while Thunderclap academy boasts the strongest attack capability. We've to be careful when fighting against them."

Mubai explained as he remembered a certain figure with a Blue Tyrant Lightning Dragon as his martial spirit.

"I agree with what Mubai said. We shouldn't underestimate any of our opponents, as they most certainly hid their strengths as we did in the preliminary."

Tang San nodded his head in agreement to what Mubai said.

"But as long as we've captain, there's no one who will pose a threat to us, right captain." Fatty said in an assured manner.

"I'm still out for the next match, so whoever's your opponent going to be, i want a complete victory from all of you. Afterall, my dream is to have golden winning streak in this tournament and leave Shrek's name in the annals of history as a legend."

Tang Ming said to the others as everyone's also imagined themselves being called a legend in the history of Douluo Dalu as the only academy to ever win all the matches without losing a single one. What glory would it be!

"Yep, it's decided. We would give it our all no matter what."

Ma Hongjun and Oscar shouted, as everyone else also agreed.

At this moment Flender, Grandmaster and Qin Ming also arrived.

"It is decided, tomorrow your opponents will be Blazing Academy." Grandmaster said.

"Why is it Blazing Academy, again?" Oscar asked curiously as he stood up, so as everyone.

"The qualifying rounds are one vs one, so it isn't so bad to fight them early and defeat them." Qin Ming said with confidence. It was better to deal with difficult and tricky opponent first.

"So what do you think will be tomorrow's formation?" Flender looked at Grandmaster and Tang San.

"Master, let me fight Blazing Academy first. If I lose you can punish me as much as you wish."

Ma Hongjun suddenly said as he stood up and best his chest in confidence.

"Master, only Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu are strong in the Blazing Academy's team. As for the formation just me and Tang San would be able to deal with them." Dai Mubai looked at Grandmaster.

"Hm, it's decided then. Tang San will go first and you'll wrap it up." Qin Ming decided after thinking for a moment.

"Why? Isn't it better to start with a Power attack system spirit master like me?"

Dai Mubai asked in surprise.

"Yes, that is the common tactics. That's why we would reverse it."

"Blazing Academy would also send their power attack system spirit master first, so letting Tang San who is a control attack system spirit master fight will be advantageous for us."

Qin Ming explained.

"I see." Dai Mubai nodded.

"Also as fatty strongly requested, why don't we let him fight the second. As we know fatty has been taining strongly, why don't we check out his results."

Tang San added. Ma Hongjun eyes also started shining in excitement as he jumped in excitement.

"Woohoo! Yeah!"

Grandmaster nodded his head as said, "Your analysis is correct. Tomorrow our formation for the match up will be, Tang San first, then Ma Hongjun, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing and lastly Mubai."

All of them nodded their head in acknowledgement.

"Also I have to remind you all to not use your full strength in the qualifying rounds as many teams will also do so. That's it, then rest up."

After saying that the Grandmaster, Flender and Qin Ming left. Ma Hongjun looked like if he wanted to ask something but didn't get the chance.

"What's the problem fatty? Speak?" Tang Ming said.

"Um, why did Grandmaster mention only five people when there's seven people quota?" He asked with a puzzled expression.

"What? Isn't it enough for a mere Blazing Academy."

"Any single of you should be able to defeat all of them on their own after training so intensely with grandmaster and me. Dai Mubai"

Tang Ming snorted as Ma Hongjun nodded his head in understanding.

After they all went to their camp to rest.

.....

The next day, early in the morning everyone once again gathered at the arena. Soon the battles also started as after a few matches it was finally the turn of Shrek Academy.

Huo Wushuang slowly walked out in the arena as he stood there with his hands crossed as Tang San also proceeded to enter the arena.

Both of them stood against each other a few meters apart.

"Let the battle begin!"

Just as the official announcer shouted, both of them immediately dashed toward each other as they started trading blows after blows. Tang San easily dodged all of his attacks with his superior martial arts and Purple Demon Eyes.

But what surprised him was that whenever Huo Wushuang attacked the power and force behind his punches were way stronger than before.

Tang Ming watched this all happen from the spectators area. The match continued to go on as in the original as Huo Wushuang was able to condense his fire attributes spirit energy to form explosion, effectively countering Tang San's Blue Silver Grass fire resistant.

Tang San also seemed to notice this after he watched all of his spirit rings skill being completely ineffective against Huo Wushuang.

Seeing that his attacks were being ineffective against Huo Wushuang, Tang San immediately used his speed advantage while launching various attacks with his Blue Silver Grass.

Even though Huo Wushuang managed to restrict Tang San, the sheer amount of Blue Silver Grass attacking him while also getting attacked by Tang San simultaneously proved difficult for him to fend off.

And getting a chance, Tang San immediately used his Blue Silver Grass to tie around Huo Wushuang's ankle before flinging him upward in the air.

But Huo Wushuang immediately used his fire like some thrusters, stabilising himself midair before re-launching himself toward Tang San with both of his fist coated in a fiery light in a punching motion.

Tang San seeing this smirked slightly before using his Controlling Crane Catching Dragon martial arts to catch both of his fists before redirecting them, nullifying Huo Wushuang's attack.

Tang San continued to use his superior martial skills to render Huo Wushuang's explosion useless while continuing to gain advantage over him.

Huo Wushuang also looked a little exhausted as using his spirit energy to compress and form an explosion also depleted his spirit energy quite fast.

Tang San seeing this continue to press him with his attacks and gaining a chance he immediately launched Blue Silver Grass toward Huo Wushuang who this time wasn't able to form an explosion and simply blocked but was dragged backward, the force behind Blue Silver Grass vines being too much for him to handle.

He continued to skid backward before finally managing to form an explosion destroying the Blue Silver Grass dragging him and looking back at Tang San.

But what surprised him was that no attacked followed and Tang San stood there with a smile on his face.

"You've lost."

Tang San said as Huo Wushuang finally looked at the place where he finally stopped. His expression immediately turned sad seeing this as he continued to look at it. He was out of bounds and as per the rules of the tournament he lost the battle.

His face looked downcast as not expecting this outcome. He had thought of many scenarios, even losing but not in this way. It feels humiliating losing a battle because of being out of bounds.

"First round, Shrek Academy wins!"

The announcer also finally came to his senses as he quickly declared the results.
