Following East Ocean Academy's publicity, the news that Shrek would be holding a performance match the next afternoon had spread far and wide...
And since the match was open to the public, many academies from across Skysea City sent their core disciples to observe...
The teachers from these academies all expressed their envy, saying, "I never expected your academy could actually invite the Shrek Seven Monsters. Such a prestigious status indeed."
"Yes, as soon as I heard about this event, the academy immediately appointed me to lead the core disciples to watch the battle!"
"To have the fortune to witness the clash of the Shrek Seven Monsters, we owe it all to your academy!"
Hearing their words, the Dean of East Ocean Academy's cheeks revealed a knowing smile, his heart more excited than he could say!
But on the surface, he still spoke with a smile, "No need for courtesy, everyone. It is our honor to host the performance match of the Shrek Seven Monsters at East Ocean Academy, and we warmly welcome representatives from all academies to come and observe the battle."
"The performance match is about to start, please follow me to the competition arena!"
Soon, these academy representatives followed him into the arena...
Visibly, the whole arena was already packed to capacity, with every seat occupied by teachers and students...
As a result, they could only choose to stand and watch the match...
Despite this, they dared not utter a single word of complaint, their gazes instead turned toward Tang Wulin and his companions on the stage!
They praised, "So those are the legendary Shrek Seven Monsters? Truly young and promising!"
"Hmm, even with my Soul Sage strength, I cannot see through them!"
"This match will definitely exceed all expectations. I hope our students can learn a great deal of practical knowledge!"
Xie Xie, eager and rubbing his hands together on stage, looked at the densely packed crowd outside and remarked, "Tsk, so many people from other academies have come to watch our performance match!!"
Tang Wulin chuckled, "What's wrong, Xie Xie, feeling pressured?"
Xie Xie immediately denied, "Impossible, with a performance match, my soul skills are absolutely the coolest!"
Yue Zhengyu laughed lightly, "Gu Yue, while we have some time before the match begins, why don't you take charge of assigning the teams for the clash?"
After pondering for a moment, Gu Yue announced, "Myself, Yuanen Yehui, Xu Lizhi, and Xie Xie will be one team."
"Tang Wulin, Yue Zhengyu, Xu Xiaoyan, and Ye Xinglan will be the other team! Any objections?"
This division was designed to balance the odds of winning for both teams.
Everyone exchanged glances and agreed to the grouping...
Then, a teacher from East Ocean Academy stepped onto the stage, declaring, "For this occasion, I will serve as the referee for our match today. I hope both sides can bring a splendid visual feast for everyone."
"Now, please, both sides release your Martial Soul Spirit Rings!!"
As the words fell, Tang Wulin and the others promptly released their Martial Souls...
When the eight Spirit Rings under each person's feet burst forth, they immediately elicited gasps of astonishment...
"Good heavens, all eight of these individuals are at the Soul Douluo level, is this really the strength of the Shrek Seven Monsters?"
"This is terrifying, with such talent, it's very likely they could reach the rank of Titled Douluo before they're thirty!"
"Lucky I came this time, or else I would have missed a clash of titans."
"I originally thought their soul power rank wouldn't surpass that of a Soul Emperor, but to think they are actually two whole realms higher, I've really been a frog in a well!"
"Let the match begin!"
As these four words were spoken, Tang Wulin and the others immediately initiated their attack, entangling with each other in combat!
...
On the other side, Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts had already led their legion members to the outside of the Spirit Pagoda headquarters…
Looking at this vast force, the staff member responsible for the reception said respectfully, "You must be the officers of this legion, our Pagoda Master is already waiting in the main hall, please follow me."
Upon hearing this, Di Tian and the others followed her into the Spirit Pagoda...
Looking at the peculiar high-tech products inside, all the ferocious beasts couldn't help but marvel, "So this is the Spirit Pagoda, it's so much more imposing compared to our legion!!"
"That's right, and there are so many cutting-edge products, we are way behind them!"
"The decision of our master to join the Spirit Pagoda was indeed the correct one!"
Bi Ji turned to look at Di Tian beside her, speaking in a complex tone, "Di Tian, it seems that joining the Spirit Pagoda does bring significant benefits to us!"
Di Tian nodded slightly, calmly "Mmm!" once...
The question was just what kind of attitude that Pagoda Master had towards them!
In the midst of their conversation, they had arrived at their destination!
The staff member stopped, knocked on the door, and said, "Pagoda Master, the guests have arrived!"
Soon after, a clear, cold female voice came from inside, "Let them in."
The former then extended her hand and said once more, "Esteemed guests, please!"
Seeing this, Di Tian and the others pushed the door and entered...
The first thing they saw was Leng Yaozhu sitting on the sofa...
Then, the latter suddenly erupted with an intimidating aura, rushing towards everyone...
Di Tian's eyes narrowed slightly, as an aura as strong as that of an Ultimate Douluo burst forth, perfectly blocking it...
The other ferocious beasts didn't show any particular expression either, clearly, such pressure was nothing to them...
Seeing that her speculation was confirmed, Leng Yaozhu retracted her pressure, and said indifferently, "Please forgive my rudeness, I just wanted to test everyone's strength."
Di Tian watched her, "No offense taken."
Leng Yaozhu continued, "Please have a seat."
Di Tian and the others didn't stand on ceremony and took a seat opposite her...
She then spoke again, "First of all, as the master of the Spirit Pagoda, I welcome you and your legion members to join our Spirit Pagoda!"
"Next, I have a question to ask, why does your legion wish to join the Spirit Pagoda?"
Di Tian didn't speak, it was Bi Ji who calmly replied, "Lord of the Cold Tower, we considered joining the Spirit Pagoda from three aspects!"
"Firstly, the Spirit Pagoda can make up for our legion's deficiencies in soul tools; secondly, as the sole seller of Spirit Souls, the Spirit Pagoda has ample financial support! And the third point is our trust in you!"
Leng Yaozhu pursed her lips; it was clear to her that this was a premeditated response...
She calmly replied, "Indeed, the first two points are what the Spirit Pagoda can offer your legion; but in return, what help can your legion offer to the Spirit Pagoda?"
The golden pupils of Di Tian flickered once, "If the Spirit Pagoda faces any difficulties, we will offer help within our capacity!"
Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu immediately showed a smile, "Good, your word is sufficient for me. In addition, to express my apologies for earlier, the Spirit Pagoda will not strip you of your direct command over your legion!"
