Cheng Xiao walked out of the lounge with a calm expression. Qin Ming was standing not far away, looking at him.
"Teacher Qin, what is the matter that you want me to come out for?" Cheng Xiao asked with a smile as he walked quickly forward.
"Cheng Xiao, you should have read the information about the opponent of the Royal Fighting Team today, right?" Qin Ming looked at Cheng Xiao and said with a wry smile, "I think you have guessed it. I am a student who graduated from Shrek Academy. Not long ago, Dean Flanders came to see me. He hoped that you would not play in the next Douhun, so as to avoid Shrek Academy's regretful defeat."
"Regretful defeat?" Cheng Xiao was stunned.
"Our Royal Fighting Team won a lot of money from the Great Fighting Soul Arena. The people from the Great Fighting Soul Arena had no choice but to find Shrek Academy and wanted to use them to beat us in a match, so as to recover some of the losses and let us leave early."
"However, if the people from Shrek Academy win this time, they will also be able to receive a large and generous reward, which can help alleviate the risk of the academy's funding chain being broken and leading to bankruptcy."
"Then with your current strength, I'm afraid you don't need all the members of the Royal Fighting Team to go on the field. You can win this fighting spirit competition just by relying on your shadow soldiers."
"As the leader of the Royal Fighting Team, I am your teacher and also a student of Shrek Academy. I will not force you to play or not, but I told you the facts just to hear what you have to say. After all, the final choice is still in your hands."
After finishing his words in one breath, Qin Ming also breathed a sigh of relief. As the leader of the Royal Fighting Team and a graduate of Shrek Academy, it was undoubtedly difficult for him to make such a choice. But after saying these words, he knew that he had done his best regardless of whether Cheng Xiao played or not.
It is impossible for him to take measures that are forced upon team members even though they disagree with them. That is not the behavior of a qualified teacher.
Hearing this, Cheng Xiao was startled, and his originally calm face showed some ripples. He looked at Qin Ming, who was relieved, and smiled.
"Teacher Qin, it doesn't really matter whether I go on the field or not. The outcome of the spirit battle is not important to me. But if I don't go on the field, with the vengeful nature of those Shrek people, they will probably take the opportunity to retaliate against Ye Lingling." Cheng Xiao thought for a moment and said.
"Is that so? You are right." Rubbing his chin with his palm, Qin Ming thought and said, "I also learned about what happened that time. If you say so, Lingling may really be retaliated by them."
"How about this, Cheng Xiao, it's your turn to play in this fighting spirit competition. I registered you when I signed up earlier, but I never gave you a chance to play."
Looking at Qin Ming's indecisive expression, Cheng Xiao also understood the difficulty in his heart. On one side is the academy that trains him, and on the other side are his students. He can't do this thing perfectly.
"Teacher Qin, how about this? I will play in today's fighting spirit, but I won't take any action. Similarly, Shrek will have one less person to take action. This way, it will be fairer for both sides." Cheng Xiao said.
"I understand what you mean." Qin Ming nodded.
Cheng Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Teacher, if someone from Shrek Academy wants to attack Lingling, you can't blame me."
"You are quite clever." Qin Ming smiled and shook his head, saying, "That's a good idea. Let's do it your way. I'll go and tell Dean Flanders later. Whether they can win this game depends on themselves."
Although this method has some loopholes, it is not a problem. Flanders wanted the Royal Fighting Team to let them off, and Qin Ming made arrangements. However, if his students were harmed because of Flanders' request, Qin Ming would never agree to it.
After all, Ye Lingling is just an auxiliary soul master and has no combat ability. If the Shrek people defeat the other five members of the Royal Fighting Team and then attack Ye Lingling, then the consequences will be their own fault.
...
The main fighting arena in the center of the Soto Fighting Arena.
This place is not very big. The area of the entire central main fighting arena is only slightly larger than the other branch fighting arenas.
There is no open-air stage around the central fighting arena. It is composed entirely of closed boxes. Behind the crystal glass that only allows one-way viewing of the scene, there are VIP spectators hidden behind their backs.
None of these people would easily reveal their identity here, nor would they cheer and shout like ordinary audiences. What they want is their own pride and feeling of superiority.
There are many high-class VIP rooms and ordinary VIP rooms here, and all the rooms that can be used to watch the fighting spirits have been booked without exception.
Suddenly, the deep and bright golden light in the center of the main fighting arena increased in brightness again, and all the light was focused on the fighting arena.
A circle with a diameter of two meters suddenly protruded from the ground in the center of the fighting arena. As it slowly rose, a beautiful girl with fair skin could be seen standing on the rising circle.
She looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a dignified and beautiful white long dress, with big wavy brown hair, holding a conical loudspeaker in her hand and a professional smile on her face.
"It is my great honor to host this group fighting spirit competition for all the distinguished guests. I am the host Doudou. I hope all the distinguished guests can enjoy watching it tonight."
"Now, let me introduce the situation of both sides to all the distinguished guests." The host Doudou came out with a loudspeaker in his hand and waved to the glass crystals around him.
"Royal Fighting Team, Captain: Yu Tianheng..." "Shrek Seven Devils Team, Captain: Dai Mubai..."
The host Doudou skillfully introduced the lineups of both sides. Her purpose in doing so was simple, which was to bring a sense of anticipation to everyone present.
"Alright, the battle of spirits is about to begin, please invite the players from both teams to the stage!"
As the words fell, a white light burst out from the host Doudou's body, and then a pair of white wings spread out behind her, and three yellow spirit rings appeared on her body at the same time.
After the three yellow soul rings lit up, she flapped the wings behind her gently and flew directly into the air.
The host Dou Dou is a soul master at the soul master level. Her martial soul is a white dove, and the ability granted by her third soul skill is flying.
After Doudou flew into the air, the two doors on both sides of the fighting arena opened silently. The Royal Fighting Team and the Shrek Team entered at the same time and walked towards the center.
On the left is the Royal Fighting Team, with Yu Tianheng walking in the front, followed by Dugu Yan, and behind them are the Shi brothers with the Black Tortoise Martial Spirit, and the Wind Chime Bird Yufeng.
The ghost leopard Osro did not play because he was substituted. Walking at the end were Cheng Xiao and Ye Lingling with a black veil on her face.
On the right is the Shrek Seven Devils Team. They are wearing all black outfits and green masks. Although they are of different heights, they are all dressed in the same outfit.
As soon as the players from both teams came out, an invisible smoke of gunpowder filled the fighting arena.
"Both of them are on the stage." Looking at the last two figures who came on the stage, Dai Mu slightly clasped his white tiger palms, his evil eyes emitting a fierce light.
"Boss Dai, are we going to take revenge on them later?" Ma Hongjun subconsciously touched the third leg, but didn't touch it. He turned to Tang San and said, "Third brother, you also know how miserable your brother is. Today we have to take revenge on his teammates!"
Hearing this, Tang San patted Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun on the shoulders and said in a deep voice: "Target, Fatty, don't forget what the teacher said, we are six to five in this fighting spirit, Cheng Xiao and that woman will not take action."
"Let's get rid of his teammates first, and then we can attack him together. I don't believe he can defeat the seven of us alone!"
"I understand, Third Brother!" Ma Hongjun nodded, a fierce light in his eyes. He still remembered how painful it was when his third leg was broken.
Later, he will make Cheng Xiao experience this kind of pain. As for Ye Lingling beside him, don't blame him, you brought this upon yourselves!
Just behind the three of them, Ning Rongrong, who heard their conversation, was also speechless. It was obvious that they were the ones looking for trouble and molesting girls on the street, so they deserved to be beaten. But in their mouths, it seemed that resistance was the other party's fault.
The two sides stared at each other from a distance, and suddenly the sounds of dragon roars and tiger roars were heard in the fighting arena. Before the fighting began, both sides had already begun to figure out how to defeat each other.
"Xiao Wu, are you really not going to join the battle later?" Ning Rongrong turned her head to look at Xiao Wu who had not released her martial spirit, and asked.
"No, no, I'll just stay by your and Oscar's side." Xiao Wu waved her hands quickly. She was no longer the lawless Xiao Wu. Ever since she knew someone secretly wanted to get her spirit rings and spirit bones, she had already learned to judge the time.
I took action when I should, and I saw nothing when I shouldn't.
"Please release your martial spirits!"
Doudou, floating in the air, flapped her snow-white wings and spoke to the players on both sides in her soft and pleasant voice.
Hearing this, Dai Mubai glanced coldly at Cheng Xiao and Ye Lingling behind the Royal Fighting Team, and then set his eyes on Yu Tianheng, the leader. He raised his hands in front of his chest and shouted, "Brothers, open your martial spirits!"
Three spirit rings rose from under Dai Mubai's feet, and the Shrek people standing behind him also released their martial spirits and spirit rings.
In an instant, the fighting spirit arena suddenly became extremely gorgeous, and various martial spirits were released, demonstrating the power of the spirit masters.
When everyone released their martial spirits, the host Doudou, who was flying in the air, immediately announced: "Fighting spirits, begin!"
Four extremely simple words came out of her alluring cherry mouth, and as the words fell, the atmosphere on the fighting arena became tense and solemn.
In the box of the viewing platform, Qin Ming from the Royal Fighting Team and Master and Flanders from Shrek Academy also became nervous.
