Just Do It
Here, everything is filled with a metallic texture, and the most eye-catching feature is the ceiling in the center of the hall.
There, a huge metal sphere floated and rotated silently, clearly containing surging soul-guiding energy.
Moreover, there is Core Array inside, which emits a faint light, making the light in the entire hall bright yet soft.
Finally, they arrived at a place that resembled a conference room, encountering hostile stares along the way.
"We're here, have a seat. You've come to challenge us, right?" the middle-aged man said, as if to confirm again.
"Yes, a friendly spar," Tang Wu Lin replied.
"Alright, then wait. We'll give you some space to choose your opponents shortly. Also, our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy won't take advantage of your age, so state your age." The middle-aged man said bluntly.
"Oh, we're fourteen years old on average." Wu Yang Jin replied.
"Very well, then the ones we'll send later will be roughly the same age as you. Hmph... But there are two things I need to inform you of in advance. First, the entire academy will be watching this match together! And second, this match will be broadcast live throughout Mingdu City, and even on all the big screens." The middle-aged man said confidently.
"Hmm? It's just a private sparring match, there's no need for such a grand spectacle, is there?" Tang Wu Lin asked tentatively.
"Yeah, and even if it's going to be a live stream, does it really need to be broadcast throughout the whole city?" Wu Yang Jin asked as well.
"Do we need it? Of course we do! If you win, it will be an encouragement to all the students in our academy, which will also benefit us! But if you lose, we can give Shrek Academy a good slap in the face, so we definitely need it! Also, out of the eleven of you, only eight can participate." The middle-aged man said loudly, then turned and walked out.
"This person..."
"Gu Yue, calm down. Everyone, get yourselves together and prepare for the match later. Also, don't just go for it if you have eleven people. This time, we'll go with eight people. This is their territory, so let them have their rules. We'll just finish our fight and leave. And let's just do it." Wu Yang Jin said.
However, there were originally only eight people, because when they arrived here before, they challenged the others first.
Hu Meier, Yang Nianxia, and Xu Lizhi all took the challenge ahead of schedule.
Of course, Xu Lizhi was there to accompany him in the challenge.
"Hmph, that old man is really annoying," Xu Xiaoyan said.
Next, the perspective shifts to Wu Zhangkong and Shen Yi.
"Well, I think this is a bit serious!" Shen Yi said.
"It's alright, I believe in them. Eleven people, they need some pressure to keep up," Wu Zhangkong said.
"Whether it's a team battle or an individual battle, I believe we can win," Wu Zhangkong continued.
Then, Shen Yi didn't say anything more, and the perspective returned to Wu Yang Jin and the others.
"The competition is ready and will be held in our academy's Great Soul Arena. Do you need to make any more preparations?" the middle-aged man finally asked upon returning.
"No need, I couldn't wait any longer and I'm all ready," Wu Yang Jin said.
Then, they came to a hall that was about 500 square meters in size.
It is surrounded by stones, and the top is covered with magnificent murals.
Naturally, that was when Long Shuang Han and Huo Yuhao came here and took turns challenging each other.
"This is the waiting area of Great Soul Arena. You will be notified to enter the arena for your match shortly," the middle-aged man said, pointing to a stone bench on the side, indicating that they could wait here.
Then, the group began to wait again.
"Hmph, this person definitely used dirty tricks," Ye Xinglan said.
"I guess they arranged for someone to watch, to put some pressure on us," Wu Yang Jin said.
"Shrek Academy has come to provoke us, can we tolerate this? Students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, let's unite and cheer for our athletes! We will make the Shrek people slink back home with their tails between their legs! We will proclaim to the entire continent that we are the strongest academy on the entire continent!" At this moment, something suddenly happened.
Amidst these inflammatory words, a torrent of cheers erupted.
Shouts of encouragement and curses rose and fell in waves.
"Oh? Is this a show of force against us?" Gu Yue said, her eyes narrowing slightly.
"It's nothing, they just wanted to put some pressure on us, so everyone relax," Tang Wu Lin said.
"Wow, class monitor, there are so many people! If I can show off my evolved Martial Soul in front of so many people, does that mean I have a chance to enter the Inner Court?" Xu Xiaoyan said.
"Of course, who is Xu Xiaoyan? She was my little sister on the train, after all. My little sister is naturally the best," Wu Yang Jin said.
"I can't wait any longer, my Stargod Sword is itching for a fight!" Ye Xinglan said.
"Me too, my dagger was already coated with deadly poison," Xie Xie said.
"The match is about to begin. Please prepare to enter the arena," a cold voice announced.
Then, the group looked at each other and left the candidate area to truly enter the Great Soul Arena.
Only by combining these elements can one truly appreciate its immense scale. Because even Shrek doesn't have a building of this size.
This is a place built entirely in imitation of the ancient Colosseum.
The huge square has a diameter of over 1,500 meters, and the stands are large enough to accommodate more than 150,000 people at the same time.
Then, Tang Wu Lin was the first to release his Soul Ring, which was noticed by the higher-ups.
"Let me tell you who I am! I am Wu Changming, the top student of the Shrek Academy, the strongest academy on the continent. If you dare challenge me, come and fight!"
"Now, let's announce the competition rules," a Three-Word Battle Armor Master hovering in the air said in a deep voice.
"Huh? What?" Wu Yang Jin said.
"Now... announce the competition rules!" he said, his voice laced with a hint of Soul Power.
"What did you say? I can't hear you! It's too noisy here," Tang Wu Lin said.
"Rising..."
"Huh?" x2
"Damn it! I said, raise the protective shield!" With a grim expression, the Battle Armor Master gave the order in a deep voice.
"Huh? You guys didn't tamper with the barrier, did you? I can't hear anything, that's your doing too, right? And what if I'm worried about your ruthless methods to win?" Wu Yang Jin said.
"Kid, do you deserve a beating?" the Battle Armor Master said.
"Huh?" Wu Yang Jin said, taking out a cotton ball.
"Cough! You... you... I really want to mess with you," the Battle Armor Master said in a low voice.
"No, I'm very powerful. If you mess with me, the academy will come after you."
As he spoke, Wu Yang Jin revealed his Soul Ring, which were five strangely colored Soul Ring.
"Holy crap, what is this? What kind of Soul Ring is this? And you're actually Five Rings? Are you sure you're fourteen years old?" the Battle Armor Master asked.
"Yeah, come and check if you don't believe me," Wu Yang Jin said.
