On the side of the Skylake Team, aside from the captain who struggled to stand up, the other members were lying on the ground, unconscious...
Looking earnestly at Huo Yuhao and the others, she said, "You guys are very strong!"
Huo Yuhao looked into her eyes and said with a faint smile, "You are not weak either, it was just a matter of being countered at the right time."
The captain of the Skylake Team shook her head with a bitter smile, "There's no need to comfort me. I accept my defeat wholeheartedly. It's just a pity that I didn't get to see all of you exerting your full strength. Maybe we're not qualified enough."
Then, her gaze shifted to Tang Ya and Ma Xiaotao, these two women probably weren't Soul Guides, but were hiding their true strength...
The strength of Tang Sect is simply too terrifying. The equivalent of five people fighting against their seven, and yet to win so effortlessly...
"However... can you tell me your Martial Soul?"
Huo Yuhao replied indifferently, "Spirit Eyes!"
As he said these words, a light blue glow radiated from his eyes...
This female student suddenly realized and exclaimed, "So that's it! A self martial soul, huh? I hope you can achieve a good ranking."
Huo Yuhao sincerely said, "The same to you!"
Down below, a wave of voices rose...
"This Tang Sect's strength is too powerful! Could it be another dark horse poised to win the championship?"
"Not only are their members strong, but they also have Soul Masters. They are definitely favorites to win the championship! I hope we don't encounter this team! Otherwise, it would be disastrous."
"Indeed, let's just hope we don't come up against Tang Sect!"
Afterward, the people of Tang Sect walked toward the stage below...
As they passed by Qian Yu and the others, members from both teams exchanged glances and then continued on their separate ways...
Wu Feng said with vigor, "I'm feeling the pressure now! Sister Xiao Tao and Sister Tang Ya haven't even made a move, and they've been winning so easily up until now."
Ningtian blinked her beautiful eyes, "What's there to fear? We have Elder Qian Yu. It shouldn't be difficult to aim for victory!"
Xiao Xiao looked at Qian Yu with a smile, "But we can't always rely on Elder Qian Yu, can we? Besides... Dong'er is still with Tang Sect. If Elder Qian Yu can't bear it..."
Qian Yu glanced at her with his pale gold eyes...
Xiao Xiao immediately covered her mouth, pretending to be aggrieved, "I'll say no more, Elder Qian Yu, please don't look at me with those eyes, okay?"
Dai Yaoheng interrupted, "But after today's competition, we should be deciding the top thirty-two teams!"
In other words, although the scores might seem straightforward, a single loss could make it very difficult to advance!
Ling Luoshang nodded, her voice cold, "Yes! The battles will only get tougher. We need to observe the fighting styles of these teams."
...
"The next match is between the Light Martial Team and the Phantom Sky Team! Match type: team battle."
"Phantom Sky Team wins!"
...
"The next match is between the Snow Wind Team and Divine Dusk Sect! Match type: individual knockout."
"Snow Wind Team wins!"
...
After watching over a dozen lengthy duels, Qian Yu and the others were almost asleep...
An old man's voice rang out, "Next up, Shrek Academy versus Ferocious Dragon Team! Match type: individual knockout."
At these words, Qian Yu's pale gold eyes quietly opened, "Hmm?"
He infused his voice with Soul Power, making it resonate in the ears of all the Shrek team members, "Wake up everyone, it's our turn to take the stage!"
Seconds later, Dai Yaoheng and the others who had fallen into a deep slumber yawned themselves awake...
Stretching lazily as she stood up, Wu Feng commented, "It's our turn? I thought we wouldn't be up today."
Dai Yaoheng sighed, "I actually fell asleep. Indeed, these battles with low soul power ranks aren't very interesting at all! They make you want to sleep just by watching."
Xiao Xiao said excitedly, "Hurry up, hurry up. I want to go first this time! Nobody stop me."
Ningtian said speechlessly, "Xiao Xiao, do you have to be so eager?"
Xiao Xiao vehemently replied, "Of course I have to! You all have had a turn! If I don't go now, won't I become invisible?"
Qian Yu smiled and took the lead to turn around and walk towards the stage, whispering, "Let's go. After this fight, we'll head back to the hotel to sleep."
The other students glanced at each other and followed suit...
When Shrek Seven Monsters reached the stage, each of them sized up the seven robust and mighty men from the opposite side!
Qian Yu thought to himself, "Their bodies are all muscle bombs. Their Martial Souls must be from the direct-attack class, right?"
So this sect has no support-class Soul Masters?
No wonder they're named Ferocious Dragon, true to their name they're fierce...
Ningtian looked at Xiao Xiao next to him and said, "They seem tough to handle on the other side! Xiao Xiao, are you sure you can manage?"
Xiao Xiao said with utmost confidence, "Of course I can. Against these brute-force types, I won't lose!"
Dai Yaoheng reminded, "You'd better be careful, though. Look at their strong builds, and then at your slender frame; if you get too close, you won't have the upper hand!"
He Caitou said with concern, "Xiao Xiao, if you can't win, just surrender! I'll avenge you."
Xiao Xiao rolled her eyes...
Am I being jinxed here?
The people from Ferocious Dragon Sect were naturally observing Qian Yu and his team as well!
This is the number one academy of the Continent, and the members sent by Shrek Academy are undoubtedly strong!
The captain of the Ferocious Dragon Team narrowed his eyes and thought quietly, "This is an individual knockout match. Even Shrek Academy might not be guaranteed a win against them!"
The Elder glanced at both sides and said aloud, "Please send out one member from each team."
Qian Yu glanced at the eager Xiao Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, go ahead, but be careful."
Xiao Xiao's eyes shone brightly, "Thank you, Elder Qian Yu! You really keep your word!"
Seeing that the opponent had sent out a female contestant, the captain of Ferocious Dragon Sect turned to a well-built female teammate and said, "Jasmine, it's your turn! Remember, don't underestimate the enemy; none of those from Shrek Academy are easy to deal with!"
The woman called Jasmine's eyes flashed with a fighting spirit...
"Mhm!" After responding, she stepped forward...
The Elder once again said, "Please release your Martial Soul and Soul Rings."
Xiao Xiao casually extended her hand, and a towering Three Cycles Soul Cauldron that was two to three meters tall materialized beside her...
Her six Soul Rings slowly rose from the ground...
Two yellow, two purple, two black!
On the other side, Jasmine's eyes focused, and a spectral form bathed in silver light quietly appeared behind her, clearly her Martial Soul, the Silver Moon Wolf!
Though a direct-attack class, it possessed a dreadful speed not inferior to the agile-attack class!
A smile spread across Xiao Xiao's lips, "Silver Moon Wolf? That means it's good at speed, right? Now I'm sure to win..."
Jasmine seemed to notice the smile in Xiao Xiao's eyes, and a foreboding feeling quietly rose within her...
She thought to herself, "This member of Shrek Academy looks like she's from the support class, but she remains so calm even when facing someone from the agile-attack class! Damn, does being from Shrek Academy make her that confident?"
But if she underestimates her, she's going to pay dearly!
The Elder took a deep breath and announced loudly, "The battle begins!"
