Eight consecutive victories.

Black and White Twin Fiends, Seven Kill Team.

The group instantly felt the pressure, especially Shui Yue'er and Xiao Luo, the youngest among them.

According to the Soul Fighting Arena's rules, when registering for a team battle, the team's level was determined by the Soul Master with the highest Spirit Level.

Thus, Soul Elders like Shui Yue'er and Xiao Luo had to face Soul Sect level opponents alongside Feng Xiaotian and the others.

Feng Xiaotian was not about to be intimidated by them.

"Manager Ao, who are the Black and White Twin Fiends? Is the Seven Kill Team really that strong?"

Manager Ao swept a calm glance over Feng Xiaotian and the others before explaining,

"Black Fiend is the captain of the Seven Kill Team, with Soul Power at level 47. White Fiend is the vice-captain, with Soul Power at level 48.

"Moreover, every member of the Seven Kill Team is above level 45.

"They have already achieved eight consecutive victories at the Soul Sect level.

"If they can complete ten consecutive victories, they will advance directly to Bronze Spirit Badges.

"But Captain Feng, the strongest member of your Light Wind Team, is only level 45. Several others are merely level 41, and two have not even reached level 40.

"With strength like yours, aren't you just throwing eggs at a rock?

"Therefore, voluntarily admitting defeat is the correct choice."

After hearing Manager Ao's explanation, everyone grew even more nervous.

Shui Yue'er said softly,

"I really am dragging the team down."

"Me too."

Xiao Luo also blamed himself somewhat.

Feng Xiaotian patted Xiao Luo and Shui Yue'er on the shoulders, comforting them.

"I'll say it again: if victory were determined solely by Spirit Level, then contestants with lower Spirit Levels would not need to step onto the stage at all. Do you remember how Bing'er and I defeated the Dragon Chen Combination?"

The Dragon Chen Combination's two members had both been close to Soul King level, yet they had still lost to the lower-level Tian Bing Combination.

Feng Xiaotian's reassurance allowed everyone to relax a little.

Manager Ao smiled faintly, unconcerned.

"I know about your two-on-two match as well. I have to admit that your Self-Created Soul Skill is indeed powerful. However, the Dragon Chen Combination did not display the strength they should have possessed. Or rather, they were careless."

"Actually, we didn't display the strength we should have either."

Manager Ao froze at those words. Though somewhat worried, he was also rather surprised.

"Captain Feng, you truly are a stubborn young man with backbone.

"The Black and White Twin Fiends are not easy to provoke. They take pleasure in severely injuring their opponents. I came to persuade you to withdraw only out of sympathy for the weak, hoping to avoid unnecessary casualties.

"Not only you, but their next opponents as well, I will try to persuade them to withdraw.

"Because I want them to advance to Bronze Spirit Badges sooner. The teams at that stage will be stronger, and perhaps someone will be able to defeat them."

The words "sympathy for the weak" deeply provoked the nerves of all seven members of the Light Wind Team.

Huo Wu asked angrily,

"Isn't this supposed to be an arena? Why would there be deaths and injuries?"

Manager Ao sighed and explained,

"Soul Masters all have different Martial Souls and Soul Skills. During soul fights, accidents are unavoidable when trying to unleash their maximum power. However, such situations are still rare. Our Soul Fighting Arena will protect the side that voluntarily admits defeat."

Feng Xiaotian stepped forward again and made his stance clear.

"Manager Ao, thank you for your good intentions, but our Light Wind Team will not admit defeat. It's not as if your Soul Fighting Arena has never had an underdog defeat a stronger opponent!"

Manager Ao's eyes widened in shock upon hearing that.

"How do you know? Do you know Tang San and the Shrek Seven Devils?"

Feng Xiaotian smiled and shook his head.

"I don't know them. I heard that Tang San was the darling of your Suo Tuo Great Spirit Arena during that time."

Manager Ao chuckled.

"You're right. Tang San truly was a genius among geniuses. During that month, he maintained an undefeated record in every one-on-one, two-on-two, and team battle he participated in.

"Under Tang San's leadership, the Shrek Seven Devils achieved twenty-eight consecutive victories within a month. Not only did he obtain a Gold Spirit Badge himself, but he also helped his other six teammates obtain Silver Spirit Badges.

"At the same time, he set the record for the fastest a newcomer had ever obtained a Gold Spirit Badge. It was truly unprecedented and will likely never be surpassed.

"The records Tang San left behind will probably be difficult to break in the future."

When Tang San was mentioned, delight appeared on Manager Ao's face.

This had happened not long ago, less than a year before.

Hearing Manager Ao recount those records, Huo Wushuang and the others were all greatly shocked.

They had all heard Feng Xiaotian mention Tang San and Shrek Academy, and they knew that they would become formidable opponents in this Soul Master Tournament, perhaps even making it to the Grand Finals.

But no one had expected them to be so formidable, having left behind such glorious records at the Suo Tuo City Great Soul Arena.

Feng Xiaotian said calmly,

"Records are meant to be broken. Our Light Wind Team is no worse than them. Perhaps we'll leave behind an entirely new record here."

Seeing Feng Xiaotian's confidence, everyone was invigorated.

"That's right! Don't underestimate our Light Wind Team. We haven't even used our most powerful Soul Skills yet!"

"Exactly! The Shrek Seven Devils can defeat stronger opponents despite being weaker, so why can't we?!"

Manager Ao smiled faintly, a trace of disdain showing in his eyes.

"Today is the second. If, starting today, you participate in one team battle every night and win them all, your consecutive victory streak will reach twenty-nine matches. Only then can you break their record of twenty-eight consecutive victories. That is harder than climbing to heaven. Can you do it?"

"How would we know without trying?"

Feng Xiaotian's refusal to yield surprised Manager Ao somewhat.

"Captain Feng, your courage is admirable. Since you insist on taking the stage to challenge the Seven Kill Team, I have nothing more to say.

"However, I must remind you that the Berserk Team Tang San and the others faced last time consisted of Soul Elder level opponents.

"But the Seven Kill Team you are facing this time is at the Soul Sect level.

"The Seven Kill Team cannot be compared to the Berserk Team. The Black and White Twin Fiends are terrifyingly powerful, cold-blooded, and ruthless, often causing casualties among their opponents.

"If you insist on challenging them, then I can only wish you good luck!"
