As both sides prepared for the match, Dai Weisi's expression remained mocking. It was just one more person, so what did it matter? His eyes met Dai Mubai's, sparking a fierce exchange in the air.

"Fu Hua, don't make a move later. Try to keep your strength low. Mubai and Zhuqing, the others..."

Tang San's words rang in her ears, succinctly explaining the relationship between Dai Mubai and Dai Weisi. Fu Hua nodded, took a step, and came to Tang San's side, standing shoulder to shoulder with him.

Dai Weisi's gaze suddenly turned domineering, and his entire body seemed to stretch out, his broad shoulders and equally sinister face appearing exceptionally handsome at this moment.

"Brothers, unleash your Martial Soul! Let's give them a surprise!"

Seven Soul Master from the Star Luo Empire simultaneously released their Martial Soul. Apart from Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun, who were both level 40 Soul Ancestor, there were five other Soul Ancestor, all of whom had the best Soul Ring combinations.

Among the members of the Star Luo Royal Team, there were as many as six level 40 Soul Ancestor.

This shocked the other participating colleges, but the shock was not over yet.

On the Shrek Academy's side, everyone was Soul Master of level 40 or above. Except for Tang San and Fu Hua, they all had the best Soul Ring configuration. Tang San's black fourth Soul Ring startled Dai Weisi and the others, but what terrified them even more was the woman standing next to Tang San.

Two yellow, three purple, and one black Soul Ring swirled around Fu Hua, proving she was a level 50 Soul King. (Edited)

The audience erupted in cheers.

"A level 50 Soul King? How could that be?"

"Shrek Academy actually has a Soul Emperor hidden within its walls. By the way, how old is that person?"

Huo Wu felt a sour taste in her mouth, Huo Wushuang trembled, and Shen Feng was terrified.

How... can we fight like this?

Level 50! Each level is like an insurmountable chasm. Even with Huo Wu and the Huo Wu joining, Godwind Academy only has four or five Soul Ancestor. But Shrek! Not only are all of them level 40, but one of them is level 50.

Shrek was equally shocked, and Liu Erlong in the audience was astonished.

"Is that Fu Hua you were talking about? She's just too..." monstrous!

Seeing the equally shocked Flender and Master, Liu Erlong knew that they were also unaware that Fu Hua's strength had grown so much that it was almost on par with their academy's teachers.

The Shrek Seven Devils were equally shocked. They thought their progress was fast enough, but they never expected Fu Hua's leveling speed to be even more frightening. What puzzled them was why her third Soul Ring, which was originally white, had turned purple.

However, now was clearly not the time to ask questions, and Shrek and his group were on high alert.

No matter how shocked the audience was, the match on stage had to continue, and even the Star Luo Royal Team had to adjust their mindset as soon as possible to face their opponents.

The level 50 Soul Emperor was like a boulder weighing on their hearts, but the arrow was already on the bowstring and they had no choice but to release it.

"The match begins!"

With the referee's whistle, the highly anticipated competition finally began.

Tang San looked at Fu Hua questioningly. Fu Hua smiled slightly, drew the Xuanyuan Sword in her hand, pointed the tip of the sword at the ground, but did not make any movement. Her expression was slightly warm.

"Please give it your all!"

Tang San nodded and shouted, "Rongrong, give me your Soul Power!"

The pagoda, which had evolved into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, emitted nine-colored divine light. As Tang San shouted, a beam of colorful light also fell on Tang San.

Ning Rongrong's third Soul Skill, Soul Power Amplification

Following that is Oscar's pink sausage, which enhances the effect of being unaffected by anything by 10%, and also has the effect of berserk mode without side effects.

Dai Weisi's White Tiger Body Protection had already appeared, and he and Zhu Zhuyun charged forward together, heading straight for Fu Hua.

After all, Fu Hua has the highest Soul Power among the Shrek, so no matter what, the strongest one should be eliminated first.

Furthermore, Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun also possess a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Hell White Tiger, which is a fusion skill composed of level 40 Soul Ancestor. It is extremely powerful and can easily handle challenges beyond their level.

Although Fu Hua's exact Soul Power Level is unknown, it is unlikely to be very high. Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun are confident that as long as they attack together, they can eliminate Fu Hua directly.

Unfortunately, just because they think this way doesn't mean Shrek will let them succeed.

Dai Mubai, along with Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, faced off against Dai Weisi. Dai Weisi was even more domineering than Dai Mubai, a natural consequence of being in a position of power for a long time.

They actually managed to suppress Dai Mubai and Xiao Wu, while behind them, Zhu Zhuyun's shadow flickered and broke through Dai Mubai's defenses, until Fu Hua and Tang San arrived.

The pink light on Tang San's body shone brightly along with the light of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. His fourth Soul Skill, Dark Surge, shimmered with black light, showing faint signs of activation.

His fourth Soul Skill is called Blue Silver Cage, which is formed by countless Blue Silver Grass suddenly bursting out from the ground to form a cage. It is also a group control skill, making it the most troublesome thing in team battles.

However, there was no sign of a cage at the scene, and it was unknown whether Tang San had already activated it.

The tip of the Xuanyuan Sword, which was pointing towards the ground, twitched slightly, and a faint energy fluctuation spread out, but it was so faint that no one present noticed it.

An invisible force spread out, completely covering the entire arena, subtly influencing everyone on the stage, though they are currently unaware of it.

Zhu Zhuyun's forward momentum came to a halt as Zhu Zhuqing appeared in front of her. Both of them were Agility Attack System Soul Master, and their contest was all about speed. In an instant, shadowy figures flashed, and countless sharp claws collided in the air, emitting a piercing buzzing sound.

Although there was a significant difference in their Soul Power, with the assistance of Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, they managed to even the score, and the contest of speed instantly began.

If the contest between Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun was a battle of speed, then the contest between Dai Mubai and Dai Weisi on the other side was a battle of strength. The difference in Soul Power was evened out by the number of people, and Dai Weisi still felt a slight hindrance in the two-on-one situation.

Xiao Wu's Charm had no effect on him, but her other Soul Skill, Invincible Golden Body, greatly surprised him.

The Invincible Golden Body is activated, granting immunity to attacks for three seconds while simultaneously enhancing one's strength. Three seconds may not seem like much, but the battlefield is ever-changing, and unexpected events can occur at any moment.

Immediately following the Invincible Golden Body was Teleport. Xiao Wu's body instantly appeared next to Dai Weisi. Dai Weisi reacted quickly, activating both the White Tiger Vajra Transformation and the White Tiger Body Protection at the same time. However, upon encountering the golden light emanating from Xiao Wu, they lost their original function.

Dai Weisi instantly lost the initiative, and Xiao Wu's scorpion braid Entanglement around his neck.

First Soul Skill, Waist Bow Activation

With his body tensed and amplified by the power, he instantly flung Dai Weisi away, sending him flying toward his own companion.

At the same time, Dai Mubai unleashed the White Tiger Fierce Light Wave, which he had been accumulating for a long time. The intense white light instantly engulfed Dai Weisi and the Soul Master behind him.

The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda emitted a dazzling light once more, and the amplification of its power fell upon Zhu Zhuqing. The contest of speed ended with the insertion of this light, and Zhu Zhuyun's body was sent flying.

Tang San then shouted again, "Shrek Seven Monsters, Rampage!"

Everyone except Fu Hua had an extra sausage in their hand, which was Oscar's fourth Soul Skill, Excited Pink Sausage.

Tang San stepped forward with his left foot and slammed his right fist into the ground, finally releasing the power that had been accumulating in his hand, causing a dark color to surge from the earth.

Fourth Soul Skill, Blue Silver Cage Mutation Skill, Blue Silver Spike Array

Boom! Sizzle!

The Blue Silver Grass emerged from the ground in the form of spikes, instantly sending several members of the Star Luo Team flying into the air. Dai Weisi, who had just been thrown away by Xiao Wu, had not yet fully settled down when he was thrown away again.

It was incredibly frustrating.

But it's not over yet.

Ma Hongjun activated his second and third Soul Skill, Phoenix in Fire, Phoenix Wing Sky Soar.

The scorching temperature distorted space.

Blue Silver Spike Array, Scattered

Phoenix Howling Heaven Strike, gathering strength.

Countless white meteors fell from the sky.

White Tiger Meteor Shower, activated.

Phoenix Howling Heaven Strike, second stage activated

Fu Hua remained silent, the Xuanyuan Sword swaying lightly, not with great force, but enough to stun and knock Zhu Zhuyun, whom they had overlooked, into the attack range of the White Tiger Meteor Shower and Phoenix Howling Heaven Strike.

In an instant, the dual impact from the air and the ground engulfed the members of the Star Luo Team. The energy waves that had once filled the arena began to gather, and a chilling aura arose spontaneously.

Dai Weisi, who was at the center of the attack, felt a sudden jolt and then completely lost consciousness.

After the aftershocks of the White Tiger Meteor Shower and Phoenix Howling Heaven Strike subsided, only eight unconscious figures remained in the arena. The chilling aura seemed to have vanished without a trace once again.

Shrek Academy defeats Star Luo Royal Academy in a Shrek victory.

When the referee announced the result, there was a moment of silence in the arena. The Star Luo Royal Team, one of the three seeded teams, was eliminated before even making it into the top six. No one expected it, but it had indeed happened.

Shrek, an academy teeming with monsters, a team composed of monsters, resonated deeply in the hearts of all the academies.

After the match ended, Fu Hua silently sheathed her Xuanyuan Sword, closed her eyes, and opened them again, her eyes filled with satisfaction.

Unbeknownst to them, they had become so strong.

Tang San turned around and brought the Shrek Seven Devils to Fu Hua's side. His eyes shone brightly, as if to tell her that they could become her partners, partners she could entrust her back to.

Faced with this scene, Fu Hua smiled gently.

"You have become stronger."

"Yes, we've become stronger," Tang San said, echoing the sentiments of all seven members of the Shrek Seven Monsters.

At this moment, the Shrek Eight Monsters truly gathered together.

In the audience, Godwind Academy

"This... is too powerful," Huo Wushuang.

"Yes! It's not just Tang San who's strong, but the entire Shrek Team that's strong," Feng Xiaotian said self-deprecatingly.

Huo Wu was standing to the side, remained silent throughout. After Feng Xiaotian finished speaking, a considerable amount of time passed before she finally spoke.

"Did you... see that person make a move?"

That level 50 Soul King woman

Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wushuang were both stunned. Recalling carefully, it seemed that she had been there from the very beginning...

"Just standing next to Tang San," Huo Wu said heavily.

Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wushuang could no longer laugh, not even a self-deprecating laugh, because their faces were slowly stiffening.

Too strong, too strong. They are not even in the same league. I thought that the alliance between the Blazing Fire Academy and Godwind Academy could defeat Shrek, but I didn't expect that when I actually saw Shrek's full lineup, I felt so powerless.

The other academies watching from the stands were mostly the same, but the Soul Master from the Skywater Academy wore expressions of Sisi surprise.

At the last moment, the attacks of White Tiger Meteor Shower and Phoenix Howling Heaven Strike seemed to be mixed with a trace of other energy fluctuations, and that energy fluctuation was the one they were most familiar with.

It is the power of ice

"Big sister!"

The members of the Skywater Team were shocked and looked at their team captain Shui Bing'er.

"The Shrek Team clearly doesn't have any water or ice attribute Soul Master, so why did their final attack carry such powerful icy energy?"

Shui Bing'er remained silent, but her gaze was fixed on Fu Hua. She was the only variable in the Shrek Team.

P. S.: I was 10/10 behind on updates. Now all the missed updates are paid. I'll resume one update a day starting tomorrow. Yay! I can finally be lazy!

PS1: There will be leftover embers in the next supply crate! I need to start saving crystals, hmm! Keep grinding!
