The Shrek Six Monsters' Troubles
Inside a Hotel in Suotuo City.
This is the temporary accommodation for Shrek Academy students.
To facilitate the Shrek Six Monsters's participation in the Soul Fighting, Flender rented this room at Yu Xiaogang's insistence.
Five consecutive wins may not seem like much, but for the Shrek Six Monsters at this stage, it undoubtedly greatly boosted their confidence.
Unfortunately, the team was always missing the last piece of the puzzle, preventing them from fully embarking on their team training journey.
The most ridiculous thing is that in the second match of the Shrek Team, because they could not find a seventh member, Yu Xiaogang had no choice but to participate with the strength of Peak Soul Grandmaster in order to make the match proceed normally.
The Great Soul Arena does not stipulate that Competitor must be of the same age group, so Yu Xiaogang's appearance is not against the rules.
However, the audience didn't see it that way. What kind of behavior was it for an old man to hang out with a group of teenagers?
Unsurprisingly, Yu Xiaogang was severely criticized in that match, to the point that he never participated in Team Spirit Battle again.
Having learned from past mistakes, when looking for substitute Competitor in the Great Soul Arena, they can only choose those of similar age. Those seasoned veterans who frequent the Great Soul Arena are basically unlikely to join the Shrek Team.
It's important to understand that the Shrek Team's teamwork was already largely established. It was inevitable that outsiders joining the team would become disconnected from it, which would make them a weak point for the opponents in the following matches.
Going on stage means you're destined to get beaten up; only a fool would willingly come.
Each time they invited a seventh person, they would cooperate once and then ignore them completely.
Flender was deeply troubled by this.
With the start of the school year long overdue, the only way to attract suitable geniuses is to poach students from other colleges.
But how easy is it to poach the Competitor from other academies?
Dai Mubai couldn't help but sigh, "It's such a pity. If Wu Qi and Qiangu Changkong had come to the Shrek Academy back then, we wouldn't be in such a passive position."
Both Flender and Yu Xiaogang chose to remain silent on the matter.
Both of them tried to win the other over, but unfortunately, they were rejected.
Ma Hongjun dismissed it, "Heh, those two are out of touch with reality. Missing out on the Shrek Academy is their loss."
Little did he know that if Wu Qi and Qiangu Changkong were to arrive, Yu Xiaogang would definitely bench him.
A Battle Spirit Master Soul Power Level was even lower than Oscar's, who was always lazy and complaining during cultivation, had long been disliked by Yu Xiaogang.
Tang San felt deeply regretful about this, "It's a pity. If they were here, under Teacher's guidance, the Shrek Team would definitely have gone much further."
As he spoke, he looked at Yu Xiaogang, "By the way, teacher, have you found the candidates for tonight's Soul Fighting?"
Yu Xiaogang shook his head.
Shrek Academy is short of money and cannot afford to hire others to fight.
Finding a sucker isn't easy; it's all about luck.
Dai Mubai scratched his head, glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, and couldn't help but say, "I do know some friends in the city, why don't we invite them over?"
Zhu Zhuqing's expression changed drastically.
What friends could Dai Mubai possibly have? Just his ex-girlfriends, that's all.
Dai Mubai felt deeply wronged and shrugged, "I was only thinking of everyone and had to make this sacrifice. Otherwise, where would we find more people?"
Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up.
The other party's suggestion might be a strategy that kills two birds with one stone.
Dai Mubai's ex-girlfriend is definitely out of place in the team, and she will inevitably be targeted by the opponents during the game.
Once he's beaten black and blue, Dai Mubai will naturally lose his lust.
His performance was just what Zhu Zhuqing thought, and it was enough to change her attitude towards him.
Yu Xiaogang believed in Dai Mubai's charm; those women would surely follow him wholeheartedly. In this way, the Shrek Team would have a long-term sucker.
With no one interfering, Yu Xiaogang's plan proceeded smoothly.
As expected, the Shrek Team achieved a six-game winning streak that night.
As they were about to leave the Great Soul Arena, they stumbled upon the defeated Berserker Team.
Just like in the Original Space-Time, Shrek Academy's first opponent in the Team Spirit Battle was still the Berserker Team.
Although they won, it was by no means an easy victory, and the Berserker Team was not in such a sorry state after the match.
Mad Rhino, the Team Captain of the Berserker Team, looked at the young faces of the Shrek Team and, recalling the terrifying strength of the Imperial Fighting Team, sighed, "You guys shouldn't compete these next few days. The Imperial Fighting Team is coming on strong; if you run into them, sigh."
Shrek Academy fought for a quarter of an hour before defeating them, while the Imperial Fighting Team defeated them in just a few minutes.
In short, the Shrek Team is no match for the Imperial Fighting Team.
There aren't many Soul Fighting in the Soto Great Spirit Arena. With fewer people, in order to ensure that Team Spirit Battle can proceed normally, Battle Team high-scoring Iron Soul Badge might be matched with Battle Team with Bronze Spirit Badge.
Mad Rhino's reminder only fueled the Shrek Team's competitive spirit.
Tang San clenched his fist. "He's a formidable opponent, teacher?"
Yu Xiaogang's expression shifted between light and dark.
Defeating strong opponents will naturally enhance the cohesion of the Shrek Team.
But how could the Imperial Fighting Team be defeated so easily?
Not everyone can use the word "emperor", so he roughly guessed the origin of the other party.
The Heaven Dou Empire's direct Battle Team must have members whose strength is terrifying.
Just as Yu Xiaogang was pondering, the manager of the Great Soul Arena took the initiative to come to his door.
The Berserker Team wisely turned and left.
"So you are the Shrek Academy Team? On behalf of the Great Soul Arena, I would like to invite you to a match against the Imperial Fighting Team."
His account is largely consistent with the Original Space-Time.
It's simply because Imperial Fighting Team has made too much money, and they want to win it back.
But is that really the case?
In the Original Space-Time, the Shrek Team was at the height of its fame, so it was understandable that the manager approached them.
But right now, the Shrek Team has only just begun to show their strength; how could the Great Soul Arena dare to let them fight so easily?
Furthermore, would the nobles of the Heaven Dou Empire easily allow them to rig the competition?
Ultimately, it was Qin Ming who orchestrated everything from the shadows.
With a large number of nobles from the Heaven Dou Empire standing behind him, he used this to his advantage, allowing the Great Soul Arena to arrange this competition, which was actually a prelude to Flender's contact.
He knew that mediocre people couldn't get into the Shrek Academy Team; the younger students must be very strong.
Imperial Fighting Team is a ready-made whetstone.
Without hesitation, Flender replied, "Sorry, we're not interested."
Tang San, however, didn't want to miss the opportunity to fight a strong opponent. "Teacher, Dean, please grant my request."
"Only by constantly facing stronger opponents can we truly grow. This is a great opportunity that we absolutely cannot miss."
"But Little San, have you considered how much of a blow it would be to you if you lost the competition?"
An undefeated mindset is easy to cultivate; just keep winning. But if you suffer a crushing defeat, everyone's mentality will inevitably suffer a backlash.
Yu Xiaogang was unwilling to take any risks and considered refusing.
Manager Ao then offered an irresistible reward: "Simply participating in this match will earn the Shrek Team a bonus of 10,000 Gold Soul Coin. If they defeat the Imperial Fighting Team, the bonus will increase tenfold. How about it?"
