When they returned to the rest room, the others from Shrek had arrived too. Dai Mubai punched Zhao Zilong in the chest and slung his left arm over Zhao Zilong's shoulder. "Amazing! You even beat a disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and their Soul Power was several levels higher than yours."
"This time, I can only say I got lucky. I nearly lost." Zhao Zilong smiled and raised his arms. Only then did everyone notice the burn marks on both his hands. He smiled wryly. "I have to say, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul really lives up to its reputation as the strongest Beast Martial Soul in the world. Yu Tianheng's strength is practically monstrous. Even though his Soul Power is only level 39, he's far stronger than many Soul Elders I've faced who were also level 39."
"Here, have a sausage," Oscar said, making a Recovery Sausage.
Zhao Zilong didn't refuse. He took the sausage from Oscar and ate it. Just then, Meng Yiran came over and gently held his hands, looking concerned. "I'll go find a Healing Type Soul Master in the Soul Fighting Arena for you."
"Thanks."
Ning Rongrong came running over, intrigued. She blinked her big eyes at Zhao Zilong. "Zi Long, what Soul Skill did you use earlier? I saw you keep striking Yu Tianheng with your palms, and the lightning around him grew weaker and weaker. You left him no chance to fight back. Was that your Self-Created Soul Skill?"
Zhao Zilong thought for a moment before replying, "It's pretty much a Self-Created Soul Skill, I guess. But that move is called Acupoint Strike."
"Acupoint Strike?" Everyone heard the term and turned to look at Zhao Zilong, curious about the unfamiliar words.
"That's right."
Seeing that Zhao Zilong wasn't going to explain further, the others didn't ask any more questions. Only Tang San, standing at the back, looked shocked when he heard the words "Acupoint Strike." He remained silent.
According to his teacher's theories, people in this world had no idea that Meridians existed, so naturally they couldn't understand Acupoint Strike. But as a disciple of the Tang Sect, Tang San knew all about it.
Before long, Meng Yiran found a Healing Type Soul Master from the Soul Fighting Arena and asked him to come over and treat Zhao Zilong.
Master Yu Xiaogang came over then and said, "All right, come and take a look at your opponents for tonight's team battle. This will probably be the toughest challenge you've faced since entering the Great Soul Arena."
"Zi Long, this time I want you to take part as well."
Meanwhile, Yu Tianheng had been taken back to the rest room. Although Ye Lingling had healed his physical injuries, the blow to his body and spirit was difficult to recover from. His prized Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul had actually lost to a mere Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. It had hit Yu Tianheng hard.
Seeing Yu Tianheng looking so downcast, Dugu Yan consoled him. "Tian Heng, don't dwell on it. I heard that Blue Silver Emperor takes part in both the solo and doubles matches every day. If we run into him in the next doubles match, I'll go with you and beat him."
Yu Tianheng slammed his fist on the table. In a foul mood, he spoke coldly to Dugu Yan. "Yanzi, you don't need to comfort me. If I'd lost a doubles or team battle, I could've found an excuse. But this was a one-on-one solo match. I lost to him because I was inferior. I've got nothing to say."
"If you've lost a one-on-one match, then find a way to win in a team battle." Just then, Qin Ming, the Imperial Fighting Team's teacher, walked in.
"Teacher..." The seven members of the Imperial Fighting Team greeted him respectfully. Although Qin Ming wasn't much older than them, he was also a genius-the second-youngest Soul Emperor on the Douluo Continent.
Qin Ming handed a list to Dugu Yan. "This is the roster for the Shrek Battle Team, your opponents in tonight's team battle."
Then he looked at Yu Tianheng, who sat on the sofa with a dark expression, and calmly said, "Tian Heng, that Blue Silver Emperor who beat you earlier is the ace of this Shrek Battle Team."
"The Shrek Battle Team." When Yu Tianheng heard this, a fierce fighting spirit blazed in his eyes, and he immediately took the roster.
"The Shrek Battle Team-every member has a Silver Spirit Badge, with fifty wins and one loss." Yu Tianheng couldn't help growing serious as he read the roster.
Qingmie said seriously, "Actually, this roster arrived this morning. The Suotuo Grand Spirit Arena wants our Imperial Fighting Team to beat them. Just like the Blue Silver Emperor Tianheng faced earlier, their long string of victories has kept the Suotuo Grand Spirit Arena in the red. I'd planned to tell you after Tianheng won his one-on-one match against Blue Silver Emperor, but I underestimated the other side's strength."
Yu Tianheng looked at the roster and read under his breath, "Shrek Battle Team, nine members in total.
"Captain, Evil Golden Eyed White Tiger; Martial Soul: White Tiger; level 38 Assault Type Soul Elder.
"Vice Captain, Thousand Hand Asura; Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass; level 31 Control Type Soul Elder.
"Member, Soft Bone Enchanting Rabbit; Martial Soul: Soft Bone Rabbit; level 33 Agility Attack Type Soul Elder.
"Member, Blue Silver Emperor; Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass; level 34 Control Type Soul Elder.
"Member, Black Mamba Demon Snake; Martial Soul: Serpent Cane; level 32 Agile Attack Type Soul Elder.
"Member, Sausage Specialist; Martial Soul: Sausage; level 32 Food System Soul Master.
"Member, Evil Fire Phoenix; Martial Soul: Fire Phoenix; level 28 Assault Type Great Soul Master.
"Member, Hell Spirit Cat; Martial Soul: Hell Spirit Cat; level 28 Agility Attack Type Soul Grandmaster.
"Member, Seven Treasures Glazed Tile; Martial Soul: Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda; level 28 Support Type Great Soul Master."
The Shi Mo Brothers looked puzzled. "What's going on here? Why are Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters so powerful now? Aside from that Blue Silver Emperor, this Thousand Hand Asura is also a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master, and he's already level 31."
Qin Ming said gravely, "I don't know why either, but since the other side made him vice captain, he must have something special about him. I also watched how their Shrek Battle Team fought yesterday. Their vice captain, Thousand Hand Asura, controlled the whole field. You especially need to watch out for him."
"Of course, apart from Thousand Hand Asura, you can't underestimate Blue Silver Emperor or their captain, Evil Golden Eyed White Tiger, either. He became captain and has the highest Soul Power among them, so he's certainly no ordinary opponent."
Hearing Qin Ming's words, the Imperial Fighting Team members all nodded. A smile touched Yu Tianheng's lips, and he said with determination, "Good! I was just wishing for a chance to get revenge, and now they've come right to us. Teacher, when do we face the Shrek Battle Team?"
"Tonight."
Once they got their answer, the members of the Imperial Fighting Team all started rubbing their hands together, especially Yu Tianheng. After facing Zhao Zilong in a one-on-one match, he couldn't wait to go and beat the Shrek Battle Team.
"Great, absolutely great. I didn't expect we'd meet again so soon." Yu Tianheng was excited. He thought of his recent defeat; the chance to wash away his humiliation so soon made him happy. But because he'd lost to Zhao Zilong, he didn't underestimate the Shrek Battle Team in the slightest.
Dugu Yan came over to encourage him too. "Don't worry, Tian Heng. We'll definitely beat them."
But Yu Tianheng wasn't so optimistic. If he hadn't lost to Zhao Zilong, he wouldn't have taken the Shrek Battle Team seriously. He said gravely, "No. Although our Soul Power is higher than theirs, they wouldn't have such an impressive record without sound tactics and considerable strength. So we must give this match everything we've got."
