Thus, the demonstration match lasted for two hours before victory and defeat were finally decided...
The East Sea Academy teacher serving as the referee announced, "We thank the Shrek Seven Monsters for presenting us with this spectacular battle. I declare this match to be over!"
It wasn't until they heard these words that the spectators below finally snapped out of their enchantment with the fight...
They left East Sea Academy one after another...
Only then did Tang Wulin and the others step down from the stage...
Xie Xie was drenched in sweat and said, "Phew... I'm exhausted. My Soul Power is completely depleted, and somehow, I feel exhibition matches are even more tiring than real fights!"
Ye Xinglan wiped the sweat from her forehead and shared a knowing smile, "That's natural. The most important aspect of an exhibition match is to ensure the audience enjoys it; winning or losing isn't important!"
Yue Zhengyu couldn't help but sigh, "That's true, but this should be both the first and last exhibition match for our generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters!"
Xu Xiaoyan pursed her lips, a touch of sadness in her expression, "After all, we're not the lifelong Shrek Seven Monsters. Let's end it with a perfect full stop on this match!"
At that moment, the Dean of East Sea Academy approached with a beaming smile, "The performance match was perfect, thank you for your hard work."
Xie Xie arched an eyebrow, "Dean, we did put in a lot of effort this time. Aren't you going to show some appreciation?"
The latter was taken aback, uncertain how to respond...
Indeed, he hadn't thought about this, considering that whatever East Sea Academy could offer wouldn't mean much to the Shrek Seven Monsters!
Tang Wulin quickly interjected, "Dean, don't listen to him rambling. Consider this performance match as our way of giving back for using the academy's resources."
Gu Yue also laughed lightly, "Indeed, simply prepare some food for us!"
Although she wasn't a member of the Shrek Seven Monsters, today's exhibition match had left her quite satisfied!
The Dean nodded in response, "Of course, East Sea Academy has already prepared food. You are all welcome to dine at any time!"
...
Elsewhere!
The numerous Federation Members were all on high alert, watching the man before them closely...
Feeling the latter's aura, they were all struck with surprise, "Based on the initial information, this guy was just a Soul Emperor, but now he's reached Titled Douluo. How mysterious is that power!"
"Exactly, if he had a bit more time, I'm afraid he might break through to become Titled Douluo!"
"No wonder this guy is risking being hunted by the federation to steal those two powers!"
The leading Federation Member took a deep breath with a grave expression, "The federation has canceled your warrant. We now officially invite you to be trained as a secret weapon!"
"And your past crimes can be forgiven!"
The man in front sneered, "Trained as a secret weapon? Haha... the federation sure knows what to say. I suppose your real goal is to trick me into coming back, so you can extract those two forces again, right?"
"Unfortunately for you, those two forces have completely fused with me. If I die, they vanish as well."
With those words, the leader of the Federation Members' pupils narrowed silently...
Indeed, their orders were to bring the former back by any means necessary!
They would first attempt to separate the Life Force and Destruction Force from him, and only if that failed would they train him as a "secret weapon!"
After a pause, the leader continued, "I guarantee that the federation will not threaten your life!"
The man interrupted without hesitation, "Enough. As a former member, I know full well what the federation is like. Going back is absolutely impossible!"
The leading Federation Member sighed, "If that's the case, then we'll have to ask the two officers to step in."
Just as he finished speaking, two figures exuding terrifying auras suddenly appeared before them...
Feeling this aura, alarm bells went off in the man's mind...
"They actually sent two Hyper Douluos to come after me! The federation really holds me in high regard!"
Even with the support of Life Force and Destruction Force, he couldn't resist Hyper Douluos across several realms!
One of the Hyper Douluos said coldly, "We don't want to make a move against you. If you know what's good for you, come back with us to the federation voluntarily!"
The other Hyper Douluo added, "If we are forced to take action, we can't guarantee your safety!"
If it weren't for those two forces, they wouldn't care if this ant before them lived or died!
The man bit his teeth and braced himself, "Then we'll see if you have the strength to back up those words!"
...
After a fierce battle, the man was left in a near-death state, unable to defeat the two Hyper Douluos...
But it was only because of the Life Force that he was still hanging on by a thread!
The faces of the two Hyper Douluos were exceptionally grim...
"Damn it, a mere Soul Douluo has actually inflicted a light injury on me!"
"If it wasn't for those two forces, I'd have slaughtered this guy and torn him into eight pieces!"
The leading federation member quickly spoke to soothe them, "Calm down, sirs, this guy is still of great use to the federation. He can't die here!"
The two snorted coldly and threw the dying man over like trash...
The former exhaled in relief and said respectfully, "Thank you, sirs. We'll take this guy back to the federation now!"
Luckily, those officials were rational enough; otherwise, if they insisted on taking action, he and his people wouldn't have been able to stop them!
...
The Holy Spirit Cult!
The Demon Emperor's voice fluctuated as he spoke, "Nanali has already led some evil Soul Masters back to Soul Land successfully, but... according to the information received, she seems to have encountered the Shrek Seven Monsters!"
Halosa exclaimed in surprise, "Oh? With her strength, she should be able to easily kill those guys!"
Leng Yulai said disdainfully, "If she can't even take out those kids who haven't grown up yet, she doesn't deserve to be one of the four Great Gods of the Holy Spirit Cult!"
The Ghost Emperor remained silent, and his expression was hidden behind his mask...
The Demon Emperor shook his head and said gravely, "No... this time the Shrek Seven Monsters had the protection of Elder Xu from Sea God's Pavilion, which almost led to her demise!"
Hearing this, Halosa seemed to think of something terrifying...
He exclaimed, "Elder Xu? Could it be that same person who broke into the Holy Spirit Cult alone?"
Leng Yulai too remembered the fear of being dominated by just a look from that man...
He said with a face full of fear, "In front of that man, even an Ultimate Douluo seems like an ant."
The Demon Emperor nodded slightly, "Correct, hence, the Holy Spirit Cult's subsequent actions should avoid provoking that man as much as possible..."
She was actually very curious about how Nanali had managed to escape from that man's hands!
She herself wasn't even fifty percent certain!
