The tournament.

Seeing as the tournament would be way too easy for everyone I devised some seals to put upon their strength. It's a simple three-layered seal, and for each layer of the seal I set loose they will gain 10 ranks of their strength back.

3 layers of seal equal rank 10 of strength, 2 layers of seal equal rank 20 strength, 1 layer of seal equal rank 30 of strength, and no seal as expected releases their normal strength. At least that way we won't be having the canon [Clear Sky Hammer] fiasco that revealed Tang San as a member of the clan. While also giving the kids some challenge on their matches, I, of course, control the seals completely being the one who can control it I decide what kind of strength they should have in their fights. It would be a fun guessing game if I didn't have [Future Vision], but I guess I am still having fun even with it.

So the kids went to fight even with the imposing limitations on them, Sadly for their adversaries even with said limitation they still absolutely destroyed them, principally considering the Trinity of the most powerful Tang San, Zu Ling, and Min Ren.

Slowly as more matches were Fought they started to be Called the Three dragons of Shrek, Tang San isn't a dragon per si, but he more than compensates for it with skill. The others also gained nicknames principally when Mubai and Zuqing used their martial soul fusion technique the [The Thermal Beast Emperor of Duality] its presence was enough to gather them a good legion of fans calling then the Thermal Duo.

Fatty, Oscar, and Ronrong are called the airborne trinity too, as most of their fight they kept flying around either using Oscar's third Sausage that gives them wings or just simply being carried by Fatty. They had to employ quite the tactics to win some of the fights and some comebacks were really beautiful.

Xiao Wu was some kind of wild card, to be honest, she could fit in all formation due to her incredible flexibility so she kind of participated in most battles showing experience worth of being called an old hag of 100k years old.

But those that truly shone were inevitably the Dragon Trinity of Shrek liking it or not Tang San, Zu Ling, and Min Ren can be considered geniuses among geniuses among geniuses. They were already impressive when you compare them with the other geniuses already showing their outstanding capabilities but after their Second awakening? They simply skyrocketed in terms of power and potential, if before they could already compete with the current generation and stand easily on top, right now they are reaching the older generations and I am completely sure they will soon surpass them. Heck, they are talented even if you looked from a Douluo God perspective.

And seeing as that I limited than on these fights, they had to fight tooth and nail to come out on top of some battles showing both their creativity, ingenuity and sheer will on winning even under disadvantageous situations. The armored school, the Illusion school, the mental school.

The mental school was of course the funniest, like on canon their teacher tried to attack and kill Tang San and failed miserably. This time that dude of course tried the same thing, but sadly for him this Tang San is way stronger and ruthless, so Tang San easily overpowered that guy's will, poisoned him, and sucked him into a dried corpse with his spider lances. It was impressive seeing the sheer difference between him and his canon counterpart strength, and I have no doubts that with a higher quality martial soul like the [Blue Silver Emperor] he awakened right now his cultivation speed should be ways stronger.

Then there was the blaze academy that tried everything and still came out in defeat, it was kinda funny principally when the Shrek revealed they were hiding some of their strength and I loosened the seal enabling them to show quite and spectacle to everyone while they dismantled the poor blazing academy.

The fight against the Ice phoenix fusion technique was quite good, principally even when they used the fusion technique they still felt the suppression effects of a superior martial soul due to Fatty superior [Scorching Sacred Fire Phoenix King] martial soul. It was a surprise for the phoenix girls who had never felt something like it, and Fatty ended up becoming the Star of that fight. I am sure this version of fatty won't have the same sad fate as his canon version, principally seeing his dedication to becoming stronger right now, and I really hope so as no one deserves to pass eternity alone as his canon self did.

The fun thing is that the [Evil Eyes White tiger sage] didn't appear this time, as I expected Mubai went on a completely different patch than what was expected so he didn't get the attention of the Sage, so even if he is miles ahead of his canon counterpart the people of his kingdom practically thought of him and Zhuqing as a bunch of outsiders due to their recent mutated awakenings, so I guess this time we wouldn't have the drama of Mubai losing the [Evil Eyes White Tiger Sage] inheritance. They could maybe feel quite threatened by his talents, but they will always have the excuse of purity and whatnot, and seeing as Mubai kingdom is practically in the middle ages cultivation style purity is kind of a big deal.

In canon, Mubai had [Evil Eyes White Tiger Sage] inheritance so his claim to the throne was quite a big deal, but right now they tought him a way lesser threat. Idiotic I know, as he is way stronger right now. But I guess it is their problem, not mine.

Seeing that this time there was way less drama around the tournament was overall a lot enjoyable for the kids, it was a time they could literally fight to their heart's content on close fights that made their blood boil. It was fun, and there was little to no drama for them.

The teachers couldn't be more proud, the more the kids won and Shrek academy fame rose the prouder they became, it was a feeling of genuine happiness and accomplishment towards the kids achievements.
