Qin Ming, Shrek Needs Your Help! (Thanks for the Rewards, Extra Chapter)

Suotuo City's Great Soul Arena.

This was Suotuo City's largest Soul Master competition platform. It mainly consisted of three competitive formats: 7v7 Soul Master team battles, 2v2 duels between two Soul Masters, and 1v1 Soul Master single combat. The victorious teams would receive generous rewards.

The Great Soul Arena in Suotuo City was even livelier than usual this month, with the entire place buzzing with noise.

That was only because three powerful teams had appeared in succession this month, making the Soul Fighting Competitions exceptionally exciting.

At the beginning of the month, a Soul Master team called the Berserk Team, whose members were all above level thirty-five, had swept through the rookie teams and achieved seven consecutive victories.

Just as the Berserk Team was aiming for ten consecutive victories and a direct promotion to a Bronze Soul Team, the Shrek Team suddenly appeared and defeated them. For the next half a month, the entire Great Soul Arena in Suotuo City had become a stage for this Shrek Academy team to dominate the rankings.

Team Battle—Shrek Team, 2v2 Three-Five Combination, 2v2 Avenger Tiger Phoenix, 1v1 Thousand Hand Asura, and 1v1 Evil Eye White Tiger had become the biggest attractions in Suotuo City.

With an extremely powerful display, they had turned the Great Soul Arena in Suotuo City into their hunting ground, honing their combat skills there. At an almost monstrous pace, they had transformed from an Iron Soul Team into a Silver Soul Team in less than a month.

Just as everyone began to regard the Shrek Team as the most promising and strongest team among those of the same rank in Suotuo City, the Imperial Dou Team, whose members were also Soul Elders, began to show its strength. No one could rival it in the Soul Fighting Competitions among Soul Elders.

At the invitation of Manager Ao of the Great Soul Arena in Suotuo City, the Imperial Dou Team and the Shrek Team faced off today.

The battle had been extremely fierce. Both sides had fought continuously for more than half an hour, but the final result was still that the Shrek Team narrowly won.

"Spectacular! It was truly spectacular. I never thought teams of Soul Elders could put on such a show."

"The Imperial Dou Team members are really strong. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul is incredible. Even sitting in the audience, I was shocked by his lightning. I nearly wet myself!"

"You lecherous woman. I say you weren't shocked into wetting yourself by the lightning—you were wet from being charmed by that Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan member, weren't you?"

"Boo! Weren't you? You were shouting even louder than I was just now!"

"I wasn't charmed by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. I prefer that Thousand Hand Asura. Didn't you see the purple spider spears that burst from his back at the end?

"Just like his name, he was a hellish Asura. He was incredibly charming! He alone took down several members of the Imperial Dou Team. I really want to see what he looks like beneath his mask. He must be handsome!"

"I'm really looking forward to the Shrek Team's battle in the Gold Soul Arena. It's sure to be exciting!"

"I heard the Shrek Team has another special match tomorrow. I can't wait!"

"Look, there's a notice here too. The Shrek Team is facing the Peach Blossom Spring Team."

"I wonder what kind of team this Peach Blossom Spring Team is."

Just after the Silver Soul Team match, the people in the Great Soul Arena in Suotuo City were discussing the performances of the Imperial Dou Team and the Shrek Team with great enthusiasm. Many girls were even acting like lovestruck fools.

Suotuo City VIP Room.

"What? A Teacher from Heaven Dou Royal Academy was actually a former student of our Shrek?"

When they heard that Qin Ming had once been a student of Shrek and that the Imperial Dou Team's Captain, Yu Tianheng, was Master's nephew, the several Shrek students were all stunned.

Qin Ming smiled faintly. "Hello, Junior Brothers and Sisters."

"How has the academy been lately?"

"Alas, don't ask. The academy was already on the verge of closing down, and these students are our final class. We originally wanted to train them and build some fame, hoping to revive the academy. Who would have thought that a Peach Blossom Spring Academy would appear right next door at a time like this and poach several of our Little Monsters?"

Flender sighed, looking somewhat dejected.

Although the Shrek Team had almost never been defeated in the Great Soul Arena in Suotuo City this month, he was still worried.

"Peach Blossom Spring Academy? I've never heard of it before. How dare this academy open right next to Shrek? With Teacher Zhao's temper, shouldn't he have turned the academy upside down on the first day?"

Qin Ming looked toward Immovable Ming King Zhao Wuji. This Teacher of his was ferocious enough. Forget someone opening an academy next to Shrek—even if someone dared say something resembling poaching Shrek's students, he would beat that person into a state of partial paralysis.

Feeling Qin Ming's gaze, Zhao Wuji touched his head awkwardly and said sheepishly,

"That was my old temper. I was young and hot-tempered back then. I'm not that impulsive anymore. Everyone should reason things out."

"You reason with people you can't beat, and use force against people you can beat, right?" Xiao Wu muttered from the corner, curling her lips.

At this point, Flender let out another heavy sigh.

"Alas... Who can say otherwise? To be honest, if they were ordinary Soul Masters, forget Old Zhao—even I wouldn't let anyone poach students from our Shrek."

"Then why does this Peach Blossom Spring Academy still dare to poach students from our Shrek?"

"We had no choice. The Teacher at this Peach Blossom Spring Academy really does have some ability, and his own strength is no weaker than mine or Old Zhao's. It would be difficult to fall out with him."

"Before today's match, I passed through the gates of Suotuo City. I seemed to see a publicity slogan saying that Shrek had another match tomorrow, against a team called Peach Blossom Spring. They even made a special bulletin board for it. That must be the team from this Peach Blossom Spring Academy, right?"

Qin Ming truly deserved to have become a Teacher at Heaven Dou Royal Academy at such a young age. After hearing Flender and the others, he immediately understood.

"That's right. It's the Peach Blossom Spring Academy."

Master finally turned around and said calmly,

"This is all because of the two of you being incompetent."

"Since the academy is destined to close down, we might as well take a gamble."

"So I made a wager with Su Ran, the Teacher at Peach Blossom Spring Academy. Tomorrow, the Shrek Team will have a Survival Battle against their Peach Blossom Spring Academy. If they win, Shrek will probably cease to exist. But if we win, the academy will be revived. We'll also obtain three or four Little Monsters to complete our team, along with a large amount of Gold Soul Coins."

"Not only will Peach Blossom Spring Academy have to compensate us with ten thousand Gold Soul Coins, but for the special match that I asked Manager Ao to organize this time, we'll also receive twenty percent of the ticket revenue if we win. That will be a considerable income."

After saying this, Master stood with his hands behind his back, chin raised and chest out, ready to receive everyone's admiration.

To his satisfaction, Tang San pondered this.

"So that's why Teacher had us Show Off this month, winning the Individual Competition and 2v2 Soul Master Duels as spectacularly as possible—to build up more popularity for our team before earning a fortune in this Team Battle against Peach Blossom Spring Academy?"

"Xiao Gang, you really are something. You're actually so good at making money!"

When he heard that they could Make a Fortune, Flender's eyes lit up.

However, his mood quickly sank again. "But we still have to win first. Xiao Gang, do you really have Certain Victory?"

"Dean Flender, your Shrek Team even defeated my Imperial Dou Team. Why would you be afraid of this team from Peach Blossom Spring Academy?"

Qin Ming found it hard to believe. The Imperial Dou Team he led was no weak team. Its members were all Talented People, yet it had still been Narrowly Defeated by Shrek.

"Qin Ming, you don't understand. The students at this Peach Blossom Spring Academy have been taught extremely well. You'll know tomorrow," Flender said.

"Hmph."

Yu Xiaogang let out a Cold Snort.

"An individual's strength is one thing, but what does it matter if some of their students have been taught well? If an auxiliary Soul Master doesn't properly perform their auxiliary role and instead studies defense, they might perform well in Single Combat. But in a Team Battle, that's Put the Cart Before the Horse and Lose the Big Picture."

"Team Battles require coordination and understanding. That is the weakness of their Peach Blossom Spring Academy."

"What's more, our advantage has grown even greater now."

"It's grown even greater? What do you mean?" The Shrek students were puzzled, and even Tang San looked confused.

"Originally, because we only had five Little Monsters, we had to spend a fortune hiring two older Soul Elders to join us and train together. But they ultimately didn't meet the standards of monsters, nor were they students recognized by the academy. They held our team back. We only had about a fifty percent chance of winning."

"But now, our Winning Chance has risen to seventy percent, or even eighty percent!"

Yu Xiaogang looked toward Qin Ming.

"This is a Godsend Opportunity."

"Qin Ming, you're also a student of Shrek, aren't you?"

"Qin Ming, now is the time for you to repay Shrek's Grace of Education. We need you to help the Shrek Team."

Qin Ming froze. "Huh? Me?"
