The Seven Leaf Star Advanced Spirit Master Academy belongs to the Ye Clan. Unlike Shrek Academy, which is just a rebranded version, the captain of this team is actually the head of the clan, which alone has attracted a lot of attention.
In people's stereotypes, the leader of a sect is of noble status, and those with great power are able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the emperor. Ning Fengzhi, the former leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and now the Imperial Preceptor, is such a person.
Ye Tianxing, dressed in azure blue, followed by Ning Rongrong, Bai Chenxiang, and other contestants, walked steadily with confident smiles on their faces, welcoming the cheers and applause from the crowds on both sides of the road, and slowly walked up the steps covered with a red carpet.
Bai Chenxiang was a little timid in the group. It was the first time she had received so much attention, and she was not used to it.
Fortunately, Ning Rongrong was used to big occasions. After some encouragement, Bai Chenxiang took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, raised her right hand above her head, her face slightly flushed, and waved to the audience.
Unlike the Shrek Academy team, which was met with ridicule and mockery along the way, the Seven Leaf Star Academy team led by Ye Tianxing was the only ones who were behaving normally.
Enemies meeting are bound to be filled with hatred.
The moment Ye Tianxing's team met Shrek Academy's gaze, the faces of Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Yu Xiaogang, Xiao Wu, Tang San, and most of the others suddenly darkened.
Ye Tianxing joked, "This outfit has a unique design, covered in advertisements. It seems my suggestion was quite good! Dean Flender must have made a lot of money!"
"Of course! With my strong argument, I managed to secure a lot of sponsorship for the Little Monster!" Flender said smugly, completely ignoring the gloomy looks he was getting from the crowd behind him. If it weren't for Ye Ping'an's sudden inspiration, he wouldn't have come up with this method.
With her hands behind her back and a cold expression, Yu Xiaogang said, " Ye Ping'an, it's time to settle the score between us."
Ye Tianxing wanted to laugh. You've fallen into my trap, causing Tang San's Twin Martial Souls to be ruined. You should pay more attention to Tang Hao. You still have time to argue with me.
"What? Grandmaster, are you preparing to participate in the competition and have a head-on spar with me?" Ye Tianxing's words were as sharp as ever.
" Ye Ping'an, don't be too smug. You and my Shrek Academy team will meet someday. I hope you can still say such things then."
After realizing that she couldn't take advantage of Ye Ping'an verbally, Yu Xiaogang led everyone to the lounge first.
As the saying goes, fortunes change, and the Shrek Academy Team will eventually meet Ye Ping'an. Yu Xiaogang thought about Tang San breaking through to the Soul King level under her guidance.
When Ye Ping'an first Shrek Academy two years ago, he was only a level 29 Soul Grandmaster. He didn't believe that Ye Ping'an could have made much progress in the past two years.
"Sect Master, they are far too arrogant," Niu Batian said, frowning.
"That Yu Xiaogang certainly has the right to be arrogant, but the price he pays is unbearable for him." Ye Tianxing smiled. Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer absorbing the Spirit Ring ahead of time can't be hidden for long. He believes Tang Hao will find out soon.
His son inexplicably broke through to the Soul King, and he, as the father, had no idea. It's simply a joke!
"Let's go."
Ye Tianxing led the crowd along the red carpet into the competition venue.
The Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena has been expanded to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people watching the Soul Fighting competition. At the opening ceremony on the first day, Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi, the Imperial Advisor, delivered speeches respectively, followed by the much-anticipated draw.
There were more than a dozen teams participating in the qualifiers, and the competition adopted a points system, but in the end only five teams were able to advance to the next stage of the knockout rounds.
In the lounges of the participating academies, everyone was anxiously awaiting the announcement of the draw results.
"Very good!"
Yu Xiaogang was overjoyed because he had finally seen who Shrek Academy's opponent was.
"Our first match is against the Seven Leaf Star Academy led by Ye Ping'an. Is there something fishy going on here?" Flender suspected that someone had tampered with the game, since it was common knowledge that Shrek Academy and Ye Ping'an were at odds.
" Flender, are you scared?" Yu Xiaogang asked, glancing at Flender indifferently.
"It's not like I'm participating in the competition, so what am I afraid of? I'm just worried about us Little Monster. You know, back in Suotuo City, Ye Ping'an was already far ahead, and now, two years later, he has become the head of a sect, and his strength is unfathomable!" Flender's worries were not without reason.
Yu Xiaogang scoffed at this. " Flender, you better keep your eyes peeled during the match and see how my apprentice beats Ye Ping'an to a pulp!"
After saying this, Yu Xiaogang walked towards Dai Mubai, Tang San, and the others, and said to them, "Everyone, this match is crucial for Shrek. We have an irreconcilable feud with the Seven Leaf Star Academy. Have you all forgotten how Ye Ping'an tricked us when we first arrived in Heaven Dou City?"
These words stirred the emotions of Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and others, reminding them of the way they ate while lying on the ground, and the unusually grating mockery from Ye Ping'an that they couldn't hear in the dark.
Tang San hated Ye Ping'an to the extreme. Ye Ping'an dared to make his teacher kneel in public, causing his teacher to lose face. Now the time was right, it was time to settle the score with Ye Ping'an.
Yu Xiaogang's words successfully stirred up everyone's emotions. Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Yu Xiaogang immediately assigned the following personnel: Tang San, Tai Long, Dai Mubai, Jingling, Jiangzhu, Xiao Wu, and Oscar.
The above seven players form the lineup for the first day of the Shrek Academy opening ceremony competition.
On the other side, in the Seven Leaf Star Academy lounge.
"Let's go up and activate our Martial Soul later, then come back down," Ye Tianxing said casually.
Everyone:?
" Ye Ping'an, you're not planning to surrender, are you?" Ning Rongrong thought she had misheard. What did he mean by "just activate your Martial Soul and come down"? That was no different from surrendering voluntarily.
The others remained silent. They were Ye Ping'an's teammates, and Ye Ping'an was their sect leader and dean. Ning Rongrong, however, was different; she was from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and already knew Ye Ping'an.
"Who said I was going to surrender? I just intend to finish this fight in a second, after all..."
Ye Tianxing wanted to end the battle as soon as possible so he could go back and take care of his child. So he led his team to participate in the competition. Qian Renxue dressed up as Xue Qinghe again to participate in the opening ceremony. Before leaving, she entrusted her son to Snake Lance Douluo.
Heaven Dou City Mansion.
Snake Lance Douluo was changing Qian Mingfeng's diaper with a troubled expression. He finally understood what it meant when the young master left and the Stingray Douluo pushed him away, but he followed after him.
"That fat Pufferfish! He abandoned me and ran off with the young master. I'll make him pay when he gets back!"
Snake Lance Douluo said with a forced smile, "My little ancestor, don't move, it'll be ready soon! It'll be ready soon!"
The first preliminary round of the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament is about to begin, with the Seven Leaf Star Academy facing off against the Shrek Academy.
"Brother, who do you think will win between Shrek and Seven Leaf Star Academy?" asked a woman with short, fiery hair and a hot figure.
" Seven Leaf Star, after all, they even sent their sect leader. Don't forget that the Soul Ascension Pill we took was created by this person."
" Shrek, Seven Leaf Star ... Ye Ping'an." A masked man murmured as he looked at the two sides taking to the stage below.
"Wow! Sect Leader Ye Ping'an is so handsome! I really want to have his babies!" Some bold female audience members confessed their feelings on the spot.
Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, sat in the VIP section and smiled helplessly, "I didn't realize Sect Master Ye was so popular!"
Xue Ye was quite surprised. He looked at Ning Fengzhi sitting to the side and said, " Imperial Advisor Ning, you are acquainted with Ye Ping'an. How could the head of a sect condescend to participate in such a competition? Does the Ye Clan have no one left?"
Ning Fengzhi smiled and shook his head upon hearing this, saying, "Your Majesty, you misunderstand. It's not that the Ye Clan has no one to rely on. Sect Master Ye is the same age as my daughter. The All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament is a grand event. Which young person of this age doesn't want to become famous throughout the continent? I think Sect Master Ye might be participating in the competition for these reasons as well."
Ning Fengzhi only got half of it right. Ye Tianxing wanted to become famous. Currently, the Ye Clan's reputation has spread throughout the entire Douluo Continent. The invention of the Soul Ascension Pill has made Ye Tianxing, the first person to try it, very rich.
One of Ye Tianxing's divine tests is to unify the Douluo Continent, and this competition is the perfect place to make a name for himself.
The central arena covers an area of 100 meters, which is more than enough to accommodate the team Soul Fighting of both sides.
As Ye Tianxing's vision gradually came into view, Dai Mubai, Tang San, Xiao Wu and others appeared. As he expected, the three of them had murderous intent in their eyes and fierce expressions.
Clearly, Yu Xiaogang's words before going on stage had ignited all of Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others' dissatisfaction with Ye Ping'an.
The benefits of doing this are obvious: combat power will increase rapidly, especially when facing Ye Ping'an.
" Ye Ping'an, it's time to settle our score." Dai Mubai sneered, rubbing his hands together, eagerly awaiting the start of the match. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.
"..."
Ye Tianxing remained silent. As the leader of a sect, he had to maintain his composure and not let a few trashy words ruin his image.
When Dai Mubai saw that Ye Ping'an was unmoved, he immediately became furious, which clearly showed that Ye Ping'an did not take him seriously.
With both sides ready, the host immediately announced, "The first match of the preliminary round, Seven Leaf Star Academy versus Shrek Academy, the match begins!"
"Brothers, activate your Martial Soul!" Dai Mubai shouted, and four Spirit Ring lit up beneath his feet.
As the captain and soul of the Shrek Academy, Dai Mubai at that time was no longer the little tiger of love in Suotuo City; he had gained a more domineering aura between his brows.
Tang San's face was solemn. Under everyone's watchful eyes, his five Spirit Ring unfolded one by one. Just as everyone was marveling that Shrek Academy had a Soul King.
Ye Tianxing's team members also revealed their Spirit Ring, but Ye Tianxing's Spirit Ring only appeared for a brief moment, a flash of red light almost blinding the tens of thousands of spectators in the audience.
He raised his left leg, and a crescent-shaped energy scythe swept across the entire arena!
" Evil Whale Crescent Slash!"
