To prepare for the team battle, everyone began discussing their lineup.
Dai Mubai spoke first. "Xiao San, you're a Control System Soul Master. Once we start, you'll take command. We'll all follow your orders."
Tang San did not decline. As the soul of the team, this was his duty.
"Alright. Mubai, Xiao Wu, Zhuqing, the three of you will lead the attack. Mubai will take the center, while Xiao Wu and Zhuqing support from both sides. I'll stay in the middle, controlling our opponents as much as possible and assisting your attacks.
Fatty, stay in the rear. Use your Phoenix Fire Line for long-range attacks, and protect Xiao Ao and Rongrong..."
Leaning against the wall with his arms crossed and his eyes closed, Bai Ge suddenly spoke. "Xiao Ao has no offensive power. Step down and let me take your place."
Bai Ge's tone was resolute. "I promised Sword Douluo that not a single hair on Rongrong's head would be harmed.
I don't want to bully you, but objectively speaking, with Rongrong's support, there isn't much point in you being there."
Oscar glared at Bai Ge, filled with grief and indignation, yet helpless.
Among Shrek's eight members, Fatty held the lowest status.
He was only level twenty-eight now, yet he was already thirteen.
His mind was full of those sorts of things, and he was also the least diligent in cultivation.
It was not that Fatty truly did not work hard, but compared to Tang San and Bai Ge, he was far behind.
Especially Bai Ge. Not only was he exceptionally talented, he was also a cultivation madman.
In fact, if not for laying a solid foundation, Bai Ge might already have become a Soul King.
From the age of six to twelve, over six years of daily sign-ins, with neither particularly good nor particularly bad luck, he had obtained a total of two Great Revitalizing Pills.
He gave one to Qian Renxue, while he had kept the other until now without taking it.
That was because this Great Revitalizing Pill did not come from an ordinary martial arts world, but from a treasure of a high-martial fantasy world.
Refined from one hundred and eight kinds of precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures, it could raise a person's pure foundation by sixty years without any side effects.
To put it another way, if an ordinary person consumed it, they could become an Innate Grandmaster!
Bai Ge had calculated that even though his Soul Power was ten times purer and more abundant than that of Soul Masters at the same level, taking it at the Soul Ancestor stage would still waste around thirty percent of its medicinal potency.
That was why Bai Ge had kept it all this time without consuming it.
In fact, it was precisely because Bai Ge's Soul Power was ten times purer and more abundant than that of Soul Masters at the same level that Flander, the level seventy-eight Cat Eagle Soul Saint, had lost to Bai Ge's sword when Bai Ge was only level forty!
If it had been an ordinary level-forty Soul Ancestor trying to restrain a Soul Saint's ability to fly across ranks, they would have been drained into a dried corpse in an instant.
For example, if an ordinary Soul Master's Soul Power was a vat of water, then Bai Ge's vat was not only ten times larger, but it was filled not with water, but with mercury ten times denser than water.
Combined, the difference was ten times ten—a full hundredfold gap!
That was also one of the reasons Bai Ge could absorb Spirit Rings beyond his limits!
The amount of Soul Power he could contain was nearly a hundred times that of ordinary Soul Masters!
After absorbing a fourth Spirit Ring that was over fifty-seven thousand years old, his Soul Power had only risen by a little over two levels, reaching the peak of level forty-two.
Yet ordinary Soul Masters could only endure a fourth Spirit Ring of around five thousand years. Only upon reaching the Soul Douluo stage with their eighth ring could they absorb a Spirit Ring of around fifty thousand years.
The gap between the two was obvious and needed no explanation.
But there was nothing to be done about it. Every Golden Battle Skill was immensely powerful, an absolute divine skill on Douluo Continent, but their consumption was equally astonishing!
That was why Grandmaster had never really allowed Bai Ge to help the other seven.
Having a max-level account lead a group through a beginner dungeon was meaningless.
But Ning Rongrong was the boss, after all.
One of the common rules of Douluo Continent was to protect the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda support at all costs in team battles.
That was universally acknowledged.
Then, aside from Fatty, Oscar had the lowest standing.
His Soul Chants were simply too lewd, earning the dislike of the three girls.
After that came Tang San and Dai Mubai, both utterly controlled by their own wives.
As for Bai Ge, don't ask. He was handsome, so he could do whatever he wanted.
Like Pisces, every generation of Virgo had been beautiful.
They carried both combat power and looks.
Zhao Wuji had surrendered before Galactic Starburst, while Flander had been instantly defeated after being forbidden from taking to the air.
Grandmaster? Bai Ge was a theory-shredding machine.
What the hell could anyone do?
So everyone could only look helplessly at Oscar before turning away.
As for why Bai Ge could participate in a Soul Grandmaster-level team battle?
When testing his Soul Power, he only needed to put a little less into the crystal ball.
As for his Spirit Rings, he could move the fourth one onto Tears of Blood.
Tears of Blood did not need Spirit Rings attached to it anyway. He could move them around and equip them however he liked.
One yellow and two purple rings—Bai Ge, a level thirty-nine peak Battle Soul Grandmaster, reporting in!
You got a problem with that, hmm?
Besides, one hundred Gold Spirit Coins a month—wasn't that tempting?
And so, poor Oscar was ignored just like that.
Dai Mubai said, "Alright, let's go."
The arena for team battles was clearly much larger than those for one-on-one and two-on-two matches, and the competitors' waiting room was especially lively.
At least thirty Soul Masters were already waiting there.
But for once, Bai Ge and the others were not the ones picking on anyone. Someone had come looking for trouble instead.
A hulking man over two meters tall suddenly walked toward them.
He looked to be in his thirties. His upper body was bare, revealing exaggerated dark muscles. There was no need to ask—he was a power-type Soul Master as well.
"Hey, little girl. You've got a nice figure. Why hide your face? Let big brother take a look."
The person he was speaking to was Zhu Zhuqing, the most voluptuous of Shrek's three girls.
Although Zhu Zhuqing was the youngest, her figure secretly made Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu immensely jealous.
She was also very tall, and with her face hidden behind a mask, no one could tell that she was only twelve years old.
"Get lost." Zhu Zhuqing's reply suited her usual personality perfectly: a single cold word.
"Don't know what's good for you, do you? Little girl, do you know who I am?
How dare you speak to me like that?"
As he spoke, he raised his large hand.
"She told you to get lost. Didn't you hear her?"
Dai Mubai abruptly stood up and moved in front of Zhu Zhuqing. Though he was several sizes smaller than the other man, the aura he erupted with instantly made his opponent hesitate.
"Courting death." The big man's fierce eyes widened as his right hand suddenly swung down toward Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai snorted coldly, meeting the man's palm with an upward strike from his right fist.
With a dull bang, the big man staggered back seven or eight steps and smashed a tea table.
Dai Mubai froze in surprise. When he turned around, he saw Bai Ge whistle and quietly withdraw his right hand from Dai Mubai's back.
The two exchanged a smile. No words were needed—this was what brothers were.
"Stop."
Just as both sides were at each other's throats and about to fight, an androgynous voice suddenly rang out.
The newcomer was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties. Without anyone seeing him make a move, he had already appeared between Dai Mubai and the muscular man.
An expert!
