Tianhai Grand Competition Opening Ceremony: Against Shrek Academy

At Tianhai Stadium, the grand opening ceremony began. The host was giving a speech, while in the most luxurious box, the dean of the Tianhai Academy was talking to Long Hengxu.

"Elder Long, it's such a pleasure to have you come all this way to participate in our Tianhai Grand Competition. We're truly sorry for not welcoming you properly."

"Not at all, Dean Li, you're too kind."

This Dean Li is the dean of the Tianhai Academy and a Soul Douluo- level powerhouse, while Long Hengxu himself is only a Soul King. He never expected that one day, a Soul Douluo powerhouse would try to establish a connection with him in this way.

"These must be the geniuses of your academy, right? They truly are outstanding talents. The Skysea Alliance will cover all expenses for the Eastsea Academy's trip to the Tianhai Grand Competition!"

Dean Li patted his chest and said that all expenses would be covered. Hearing this, Tang Wulin's eyes lit up. Great! He could get a free meal.

"Dean Li is truly generous. Our Eastsea Academy will also do our utmost to defeat Shrek Academy."

"Sure, sure."

Under Dean Li's warm welcome, everyone was seated in the best VIP box seats. At the same time, Chen Jianshu and others also arrived at the Tianhai Academy.

"Young geniuses from the Eastsea Academy, this is our Tianhai Academy's school uniform. Please change into it."

The vice dean of the Tianhai Academy brought over several school uniforms from their college, and everyone went into the special changing room to change.

The opening ceremony was about to begin, and after everyone changed into their school uniforms, they discussed matters related to the opening ceremony match against the Shrek Academy.

"A Shu, who should we send out to fight Shrek?"

Xu Xiaoyan turned her gaze to him and asked curiously, while Wu Bingyu suggested:

"How about we just use our strongest forces? Me, A Shu, Na'er Wang Dong, Xu Xiaoyan, Gu Yue, and Gu Xuanyu —seven Soul Ancestor in total—and wipe them out!"

"Your suggestion is indeed good, but... I have a plan! To kill someone by destroying their spirit!"

Wu Bingyu's plan was the safest, directly deploying the strongest combat power to avoid any mishaps. However, Chen Jianshu wanted to strike at the heart of the matter, directly saying:

"Alright, with me here, we're basically guaranteed to win. Let's go for a psychological blow, making sure their strongest person is defeated by our lowest-ranking Wulin."

He rubbed his hands together and revealed his plan. Everyone instinctively looked at Tang Wulin, who was eating taiyaki. He was also bewildered, pointing to himself in surprise and saying uncertainly:

"I?"

Tang Wulin: Me, a second-ranked player, beating Shrek Academy's prodigy? Really?

Soon, the opening ceremony of the Skysea Alliance Grand Competition officially began. The host started his speech, but it was all motivational drivel and empty talk, so we skipped it.

The entire group from the Eastsea Academy was waiting in the preparation area. The seven people in the preparation area were Chen Jianshu, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie Zhang Yangzi, Wei Xiaofeng, Wang Jinxi, and Wang Dong.

"Now, please give a warm welcome to the opening ceremony showdown between the prodigies from the Shrek Academy and the outstanding students from our Tianhai Academy!"

As the host delivered a passionate speech, the seven members of Shrek walked out of the passage. There were five boys and two girls, all around fourteen years old, except for one chubby boy who looked about the same age as Chen Jianshu and the others.

The fourteen-year-old Shrek female student was assigned to the chubby boy by Shrek. The chubby boy followed behind her like a little follower. Shrek did this in order to use the Love Gu to completely bind the chubby boy, who had the Innate Full Soul Power of a food-type Soul Master, to the Shrek Academy.

As they stepped onto the stage, Chen Jianshu and the others also emerged from the passage. Everyone was stunned by their appearance.

Because Chen Jianshu and the others looked so young, the Youth Group, including one tomboy and another cross-dresser, were all around ten years old.

This combination made the Shrek Academy leaders frown. What did the Skysea Alliance mean by this? Sending a bunch of kids to fight us? Did they think we'd go easy on them?

For Shrek's glory, they cannot lose, even if their opponents are children younger than them! Those damned evil students, how dare they disguise themselves as children! You have already Path to Death!

Looking at the team from the Tianhai Academy, no one was very optimistic about them, after all, the age gap was too big. There was a lot of discussion, but soon the referee announced the start of the match.

"The match begins!"

As the referee finished speaking, everyone released their Martial Souls. Shrek Academy's team consisted of five Soul Ancestor, one Soul Elder, and one Soul Grandmaster.

"Brothers, activate your Martial Souls!"

With Chen Jianshu's command, everyone released their Martial Souls, and numerous purple Soul Rings appeared. The team consisted of four Soul Elders, one Soul Grandmaster, and two Soul Ancestor.

The combined might of Chen Jianshu and the four black Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings on Wang Dong instantly overwhelmed the pressure from the Shrek Academy.

"Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Spirit? How is that possible!"

"How old is he? How could he possibly have reached the Spirit Sea Realm's Spiritual Power!"

Everyone was shocked, because to withstand Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Spirit, one must have at least the Spiritual Power of the Spirit Sea Realm.

"So what if it's Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Spirit! It's definitely a drug-addicted fraud!"

Shrek Academy's captain Yu Mo, roared, and his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul emitted a loud dragon's Dragon Roar. Four purple Soul Rings shone around his body, and he instantly charged forward.

"Wulin, you deal with him, I'll provide support!"

Chen Jianshu struck Tang Wulin on the back with a palm, injecting Tang Wulin's Character Card into Tang Wulin's body. In an instant, Tang Wulin felt all his attributes increase by fifty percent.

"I feel full of energy! A man's ready to fight!"

Tang Wulin directly transformed his right hand into Golden Dragon Claw and attacked. Yu Mo, on the other side, felt a chill run down his spine and sensed his Martial Soul trembling, as if he had encountered an absolute superior.

The two sides clashed quickly, the Golden Dragon Claw and the Thunder Dragon Claws collided, Yu Mo was instantly knocked back. This dramatic scene left the spectators completely dumbfounded.

"No way? The Fourth Ring Road was pushed back by the Second Ring Road? That can't be real!"

Yu Mo, enraged by being repelled by a second-ring Blue Silver Grass Soul Master, immediately commanded:

"Attack them all! Kill them!"

With a roar, the Shrek Seven Devils swarmed forward. Seeing this, Chen Jianshu patted Xie Xie, who also felt a 50% increase in all his attributes and charged at an opponent.

Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi unleashed the Dark Eagle Bone Dragon Martial Soul Fusion Skill. The appearance of this Martial Soul Fusion Skill instantly threw Shrek Academy into a panic, but it wasn't over yet.

Wei Xiaofeng transformed instantly, his school uniform turning into a battle skirt. Then, Clow Cards appeared in his hand, and he struck them with his snake-headed staff, transforming them into a ferocious Azure Sky Holy Dragon that viciously charged forward.

But it wasn't over yet; the surrounding water element became increasingly concentrated.

The moist sea breeze swept over them, and the Shrek members felt a powerful aura, turning their heads to look.

Then, a punk-style boy with blue and pink hair, wearing the blue school uniform of the Skysea Alliance, suddenly surrounded by dense water elements, stood behind him holding a golden trident.

Even more deadly was the fact that behind the opponent floated a seemingly radiant and majestic figure, wielding the same enormous phantom trident and possessing eight wings.

When they saw the other person's face, their pupils dilated in shock. They recognized him; it was the likeness of Sea God Tang San, one of the original Shrek Seven Devils statues that stood in their Shrek Academy!

In an instant, the seven Shrek Seven Chen Jianshu chuckled and said:

"Your ancestors have arrived! Why don't you surrender immediately!"

His voice startled the stunned crowd, who stared intently at the Sea God Martial Soul on Wang Dong's body, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"How is that possible!"

"This is the Sea God Martial Soul?! How could the Sea God Martial Soul be here?!"

The people opposite were shocked, and so were the people on their side. Looking at Wang Dong, who displayed the Sea God Martial Soul, they felt their heads buzzing.

Especially Tang Wulin, as he looked at Wang Dong Tang Wulin displayed the Sea God Martial Soul, he felt as if he had met his own father.

For some reason, he looked at Wang Dong with a newfound respect. He didn't know why, but whenever he encountered someone related to the Sea God Tang San, he would inexplicably feel respect for them.

Even if the other party asked him to call them "father," he seemed capable of doing so without hesitation.

"Spray!"

Although Wang Dong didn't understand why Chen Jianshu wanted to give him the Sea God Martial Soul, he still swung the Sea God Trident in his hand, and the golden trident slashed upwards.

A three-meter-high wave suddenly surged up, and the Shrek Seven Shrek's expressions changed drastically. They all used their Martial Souls and Soul Power to defend themselves, but they were all swallowed up by the wave, and the three of them were instantly swept off the stage.

There are four remaining: Tang Wulin will fight the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Master, the Dark Shadow Bone Dragon will fight one, Wei Xiaofeng will transform into Magical Girl to deal with one, and the enhanced Xie Xie fight one.

The situation was overwhelmingly one-sided, and in just five minutes, Shrek Academy was defeated, especially their captain, Yu Mo of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Ancestor, who was completely overwhelmed by Tang Wulin.

"Tianhai Academy wins the opening ceremony performance match!!"

With the outcome decided, the referee excitedly announced the result, and instantly, a fierce roar of shouts and cheers erupted from the Tianhai Stadium, all chanting the name of the Tianhai Academy.

On the Tianhai Academy's viewing platform, Dean Li excitedly banged on the table. He hadn't expected them to defeat Shrek Academy so easily; they truly lived up to the reputation of being prodigies nurtured by the Spirit Pagoda.

The atmosphere in the Shrek Academy's stands was incredibly tense, with their team leader, Shen Yi, keeping his eyes fixed on Wang Dong, who was displaying the Sea God Martial Soul.

"There's no mistake... that's Tang San's ancestor's Martial Soul!"

She could see very clearly that this Sea God Martial Soul was not the Sea God Martial Soul from Sea God Island.

The Sea God Martial Soul on Sea God Island originated from the Sea God Poseidon, while this Sea God Martial Soul originated from the Sea God Tang San.

"This matter must be reported to the teacher!"

Shen Yi murmured to herself, then quickly picked up the phone and made a call, unaware that her phone had already silently connected to the Demon Spirit Network.

Meanwhile, at the Shrek Academy, the Sea God Pavilion Meeting resumed, with all the elders gathered together. When Long Yeyue saw that Heaven Ice Wukong's seat was empty and there was a notice board indicating that he was away on a business trip, she immediately became displeased.

"That brat is really going too far! He even dares to skip the Sea God Pavilion Meeting!"

"Alright, Elder Long, let's get down to business."

Seeing the other party launching another attack for no reason, Yun Ming felt a headache coming on and immediately got down to business.

"Xiao Yi sent me a video, everyone take a look."

He uploaded a video, and everyone's expressions changed upon seeing it. He then asked a question.

What are everyone's thoughts on this?

Upon seeing this, Long Yeyue slammed her hand on the table and stood up, saying excitedly:

"This is Shrek's authentic Sea God Martial Soul! This must be an instruction from our Sea God Ancestor; we should quickly bring it back to the Shrek Academy for training."

Long Yeyue's eyes were filled with fervor. Such a young Soul Ancestor with four Black Soul Rings, plus their Shrek's orthodox Sea God Martial Soul, it was obvious that this young man was his Shrek disciple.

"Isn't this... a bit too hasty?"

Guan Yue hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping herself. She'd only glanced at it through the video; how could she be so certain the other person possessed their Shrek Sea God Martial Soul? Maybe it was photoshopped?

"Guan Yue, are you blind? You can't even recognize your ancestor's face? Or are you a spy for the Spirit Pagoda, trying to buy time so that the Spirit Pagoda can kidnap the true lineage of the Shrek Academy?"

Guan Yue's objection was immediately met with a questioning from Long Yeyue, who quickly waved his hand to indicate that he was one of their own.

"Elder Long, I'm not an undercover agent!"

"Sister Yue, I'll go and bring my true Shrek back to the Shrek Academy right now!"

On the other side, Cai Yue'er suddenly stood up and volunteered to go and bring people back. Only then did Long Yeyue look at her with appreciation.

"Good, you truly are the trusted confidant I've trained. You know how to share my burdens. Go now, and be right back."

"Okay, Sister Yue!"

After receiving the order, Cai Yue'er strode out of the Sea God Pavilion Meeting hall, completely ignoring the other elders still in the meeting. The elders exchanged bewildered glances, but just then, Long Yeyue slammed her hand on the table and said:

"Now, I propose to strip Wu Kong of his right to inherit the Sea God Pavilion and instead award it to this true heir of Shrek Sea God Pavilion."

Her words shocked everyone once again. To so hastily strip Elder Wu Kong of his right to inherit the Sea God Pavilion Master? And to specifically name a child he'd never even met as the successor?

"Stop! Elder Long, this is far too hasty. How can the matter of inheriting the Sea God Pavilion be decided so easily with just a few words?"

Yun Ming directly refuted Long Yeyue's decision, which immediately widened her eyes, and she pressed on aggressively:

"Yun Ming, are you questioning the guidance given by our ancestors?"

"Elder Long, I did not question the ancestor's intentions. This matter is far too important. How could the succession to the Sea God Pavilion be decided so hastily with just a few words?"

"Yun Ming, you refuse to relinquish power, is that it? Now that someone possessing the Sea God Ancestor's Martial Soul has descended, you refuse to relinquish power—are you a spy for the Spirit Pagoda?!"

Long Yeyue's eyes narrowed instantly, and she directly identified the other party as an undercover agent. Yun Ming was speechless, and impatience flashed in his eyes.

"Enough! My loyalty to Shrek is as clear as day! I am the true Sea God Pavilion Master!"

"Yun Ming! You'll regret this!"

Bang!

Seeing Yun Ming use his power to oppress her again, Long Yeyue's eyes flashed with anger, and then she slammed the door and left.

September 1st, two chapters will be combined into one large chapter.
