Although Star Luo Royal Advanced Spirit Master Academy had six people, they were all standing apart. Even the Blue Silver Thorn Array could only attack the Hell White Tiger, the Giant Winged Vulture Spirit Master, and the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit Master.

However, there was no better option at the moment.

The Blue Silver Thorn Array activated silently. The Hell White Tiger leaped away and swiftly evaded the attack, while the Giant Winged Vulture Spirit Master quickly took to the air.

Only the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit Master was engaged in close combat with Xiao Wu. The instant the Blue Silver Thorn Array activated, Xiao Wu used Teleportation to evade it, but the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit Master had no time to dodge. She was launched into the air by the Blue Silver Thorn Array and fell into a brief stupor.

Little Fatty had been prepared for this moment. His Second and Third Spirit Rings lit up at the same time as he unleashed Phoenix Nirvana and Phoenix Wings Skyward. He soared into the air and kicked the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit Master off the tournament platform.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Hell White Tiger and the Giant Winged Vulture Spirit Master were dodging, Xiao Wu's Third Spirit Ring lit up. She teleported to the Ice Staff Spirit Master's side, and her First and Second Spirit Rings lit up simultaneously. With Charm followed by Waist Bow, she hurled the Ice Staff Spirit Master out of the arena.

Then, just as before, Xiao Wu teleported behind the Soul Suppressing Cauldron Spirit Master again and directly used Waist Bow to throw him off the tournament platform as well.

With that burst of force, the Shrek Seven Devils finally broke free from their disadvantage and turned the battle into a three-on-three.

The Hell White Tiger separated. Da Bao knew full well that defeating the other three in a short time would be extremely difficult. Moreover, the Hell White Tiger consumed too much Soul Power. As one side weakened while the other remained strong, they would inevitably fall into danger.

With that in mind, Da Bao no longer hesitated. His First, Third, and Fifth Spirit Rings lit up at once as he used the three enhancement abilities—White Tiger Body Protection Barrier, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, and White Tiger Demon God Transformation—simultaneously, charging toward Tang San.

Just as Little Fatty was about to go support him, the Giant Winged Vulture Spirit Master appeared before him once again, blocking his path.

At the same time, Zhu Zhuyun went after Xiao Wu. Relying on the difference in their Soul Power Levels, Zhu Zhuyun continuously launched attacks, trying to find an opening.

However, with Xiao Wu's close-combat skills, Zhu Zhuyun could not defeat her anytime soon.

At that moment, Da Bao had already drawn near Tang San.

However, Da Bao did not continue closing the distance. His Second Spirit Ring lit up, and he unleashed White Tiger Fierce Light Wave at Tang San.

Tang San used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to evade the White Tiger Fierce Light Wave. At the same time, he unleashed his Third Spirit Ability, Spider Web Restraint, intending to trap Da Bao.

Just then, Da Bao raised his left arm. Five dark golden claws, sharp as blades, extended from his left palm. With a swipe through the air, he slashed the web into pieces.

At that moment, whether they were Spirit Masters fighting on the platform or watching below it, everyone's expressions froze.

A spirit bone! Without a doubt, Da Bao's move was a Soul Bone Skill.

What was more, knowledgeable people such as He Qiang, Chen Long, Grandmaster, and Dugu Bo even recognized it as a spirit bone produced by a Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear.

The Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear was one of the most formidable spirit beasts! Even a thousand-year Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear could rival an ordinary Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast, perhaps even surpassing one.

And the spirit bone Da Bao possessed was indeed from a Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear. More precisely, it was a five-thousand-year Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear Left Arm Bone.

Da Bao sneered. His Fourth Spirit Ring lit up as he unleashed White Tiger Meteor Shower, sealing off Tang San's movements while pouncing forward to attack him.

He did not have much Soul Power left. Only by swiftly defeating Tang San could he be confident of facing the remaining two.

Tang San's expression did not change. Suddenly, the Blue Silver Grass on Little Fatty and Xiao Wu rapidly withdrew and closed in around Da Bao.

That was right. This was the trap Tang San had set for Da Bao.

If Da Bao had not undone the Hell White Tiger's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, then even this would not have been enough to deal with him. And since the Giant Winged Vulture Spirit Master was a Defense System Spirit Master, he would not be defeated anytime soon either.

However, if it was only Da Bao alone, things would be much easier.

The Blue Silver Thorn Array activated without a sound. Little Fatty sealed off the sky, while Xiao Wu and Tang San surrounded him. With nowhere to evade, Da Bao was sent soaring into the air by the Blue Silver Thorn Array.

Then came Little Fatty's Fourth Spirit Ability, Phoenix Roaring Heaven Strike.

The distortion of the air left Da Bao stunned for even longer. Then, a stream of magma rose from the ground and surrounded him.

Little Fatty then kicked hard, sending Da Bao out of the arena.

Using the same method, Tang San and Little Fatty kicked the Giant Winged Vulture Spirit Master and Zhu Zhuyun, who had rushed over, out of the arena at the same time.

Shrek Academy won this battle.

"We still lost. I'm a little unwilling to accept it, but at least we gave it everything we had." Da Bao dragged his heavily injured body toward Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai fell silent. Had he really won? Although he had given it his all, he had only depleted a portion of Da Bao's Soul Power.

"Don't make that face. A win is a win." Da Bao waved his hand. "If you want to become emperor someday, then I'll help you wholeheartedly. If you don't, then I'll keep handling this mess. I won't say more. Do your best—and be careful of those people from Spirit Hall. They may be even more terrifying than we expected."

After saying that, Da Bao dragged his severely injured body away, leaving Dai Mubai standing there in silence.

"This isn't like you, Boss Dai." Little Fatty walked over and said, "Pull yourself together. Our competition isn't over yet."

Dai Mubai's gaze sharpened, and he nodded.

Their opponents were not merely Star Luo Royal Advanced Spirit Master Academy.
