It was another day of Soul Fighting matches. The Shrek members arrived at the Great Soul Arena. Even after all these days, Zhao Zilong had not participated in team Soul Fighting, yet the team matches had almost always ended with the Shrek Battle Team victorious.

Zhao Zilong's absence gave Zhu Zhuqing the opportunity to participate in team Soul Fighting. With Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they had a reassuring trump card in team matches. Even when they faced a powerful opponent, the Hell White Tiger's Martial Soul Fusion could defeat them.

The seven-member team had also more or less settled into a stable lineup. Ma Hongjun had begun participating in team Soul Fighting less often; he was only allowed to join when they were sure their opponents did not have high Soul Power.

However, today the Shrek Battle Team encountered the Berserk Team once again.

Although the Berserk Team had won against the Shrek Battle Team led by Tang San last time, they had still suffered greatly and needed a month to recover from their injuries.

Now that they had encountered the Shrek Battle Team again, both sides were seething.

The Shrek side knew this too. When Master Yu Xiaogang learned their opponent was the Berserk Team, he grew very solemn. He also very much wanted to win this match.

Dai Mubai looked at him and asked, "Um, Master, are you sure we don't need to let Zhao Zilong compete? With him, our chances of winning would be much higher. And didn't you say he was our trump card? Wouldn't this be the perfect time to send him out?"

Meng Yiran added, "That's right, Master. The other side already knows Tang San's Hidden Weapon techniques, so they'll definitely be prepared. His Hidden Weapons will probably have a hard time catching them off guard again. And after their last match against the Berserk Team, they'll definitely take us seriously."

Tang San's face turned ashen when he heard this. After all, he had been the one in command last time, and they had still lost. He was eager to wash away the humiliation of that defeat. Yet, deep down, Tang San truly did not want Zhao Zilong to participate. If Zhao Zilong joined and they won, it would feel as though he, Tang San, had won only by riding on Zhao Zilong's coattails, something his pride could hardly accept.

"No. This time is different from the last. We don't need to rely on Xiao San's Hidden Weapons to launch a sneak attack. Even in a head-on battle, you have a greater than fifty percent chance of winning."

Yu Xiaogang rejected the suggestion at once. He knew that if Zhao Zilong came, the Shrek members would all listen to him. Yu Xiaogang was deliberately keeping Zhao Zilong in reserve because he wanted Tang San to establish his authority within the Shrek Battle Team and earn the other members' trust in his tactical command. That way, even when Zhao Zilong returned, Tang San would still be the team's central figure.

Yu Xiaogang continued, "This time, we have Mubai, a level 38 Soul Elder, who can take on Crazy Rhino head-on. And the Martial Soul Fusion Skill between Mubai and Zhuqing, the Hell White Tiger, has enough power to rival a high-level Soul Ancestor. So, as long as our tactics are sound, we'll definitely be able to defeat the Berserk Team."

Hearing this, Dai Mubai nodded in agreement. After all, the Hell White Tiger he and Zhu Zhuqing could summon was one of their signature moves, and it was extraordinarily powerful. Dai Mubai believed that once Zhu Zhuqing reached the Soul Elder level, their Martial Soul Fusion Skill might even be able to contend with a Soul King.

Seeing that Dai Mubai and the others agreed, Yu Xiaogang continued, "However, even with Mubai competing, the Berserk Team still has more Soul Power than we do. We'll need to arrange our tactics carefully. Xiao San, you'll be in charge of the strategy."

"Yes, teacher." Tang San nodded.

A trace of displeasure flashed in Meng Yiran's eyes. After all, Yu Xiaogang's favoritism toward Tang San was far too obvious. The other members of the Shrek Battle Team had noticed it too, but none of them could say much. Tang San's tactics were indeed sound; compared with Zhao Zilong's straightforward, forceful approach, Tang San's strategies required them to coordinate much more closely.

Soon, the team match began: Shrek Battle Team VS Berserk Team.

"We meet again, Shrek Battle Team." The Berserk Team's captain, Crazy Rhino, looked at them with anger in his eyes, then turned to Tang San and said, "Brat, this time we won't let your Poison Needles injure us again."

Dai Mubai stepped forward and looked at Crazy Rhino coldly. "Don't worry. This time, we'll defeat you head-on and wash away the disgrace of our Shrek Battle Team."

The host raised his voice. "All right, today's team Soul Fighting match is Shrek Battle Team VS Berserk Team. This is the second face-off between these two teams. Last time, the Berserk Team narrowly won against the Shrek Battle Team. What will the result be this time? All right, both teams, activate your Martial Souls. The match is about to begin."

Soon, both sides activated their Martial Souls.

Crazy Rhino looked at the Shrek members. After nearly losing to this team last time, the Berserk Team had studied them. Every one of them had a top-tier Spirit Ring Configuration, so they no longer dared to underestimate them. He said coldly, "I've read your team's information. You should have another Soul Elder, right? Why didn't you let him compete?"

Dai Mubai replied scornfully, "He's the trump card of our Shrek Battle Team. There's no need to send him out to deal with a mere Berserk Team like yours."

Crazy Rhino grew furious at Dai Mubai's words. "Arrogant! Since that's the case, I'll let you taste defeat again!"

The battle between the two teams began.

Having fought each other once before, both sides were much more cautious this time.

However, with Dai Mubai joining them, the Shrek Battle Team's strength had clearly risen by several levels. In the end, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's Hell White Tiger defeated the Berserk Team's Berserk state, securing victory.

The Shrek Battle Team had avenged their previous defeat by beating the Berserk Team, and their reputation soared to a new peak.

Meanwhile, Zhao Zilong continued to take part in one-on-one and two-on-two Soul Fighting matches every day.

However, today he encountered an unexpected opponent here. Looking at the names displayed on the Soul Fighting screen, he saw: Blue Silver Emperor VS Yu Tianheng.

The matchup surprised Zhao Zilong. He had not expected to encounter Yu Tianheng here, especially in a one-on-one duel. Since Yu Tianheng had already appeared here, the Imperial Fighting Team must have arrived too!

Meanwhile, in the Imperial Fighting Team Rest Room, the Imperial Fighting Team had been in Suotuo City for several days and maintained a perfect winning record.

At that moment, Qin Ming, the Imperial Fighting Team's leader, placed Zhao Zilong's profile in front of Yu Tianheng and said, "Tian Heng, take a look. This is your opponent in the next match. He's been at the Great Soul Arena in Suotuo City for over a month and has already completed a 51-match winning streak in one-on-one duels and a 51-match winning streak in two-on-two duels. Since the Great Soul Arena was established, no Soul Master has earned a Silver Spirit Badge in less time. The Great Soul Arena in Suotuo City has offered a bounty of ten thousand Gold Soul Coins, hoping we can defeat him."
