Shrek Team

Late at night in Suotuo City, the streets were deserted, with only Tang San and his group out and about.

They had come to Suotuo City in the middle of the night to stand up for Ma Hongjun.

Xiao Wu acted as bait and lured out the Soul Master who had badly beaten Ma Hongjun during the day. Tang San and the others did not even need to make a move. Xiao Wu alone successfully ambushed him before he could react.

She defeated the four-ringed Soul Ancestor by herself, made him write a confession, hung him from a streetlamp, and then left.

The next day, many people saw the Soul Master's miserable state and cheered in delight.

Tang San and the others knew nothing about it. They had now begun the second stage of training.

Their first stage of training, under the Grandmaster's supervision, had burned through money at an astonishing rate. The medicinal baths alone after each day's training had cost a fortune.

Flender was stingy, but he valued the Grandmaster as a friend, so he supported his special training plan.

However, after supporting it for three months, Flender was nearly unable to keep going.

At that moment, the Grandmaster felt that the first stage of special training had reached its end, and the second stage officially began.

The so-called second stage of special training was held at the Great Soul Arena.

The Grandmaster had many requirements. Everyone had to earn a Silver Soul Fighting Badge, as well as a Silver Soul Fighting Badge for team matches.

Before training began, the Grandmaster divided them into groups.

There was no mandatory grouping; everything was voluntary.

In the end.

Xiao Wu and Tang San formed a group, Oscar and Dai Mubai formed a group, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong formed a group, while Ma Hongjun was alone.

After forming their groups, they went to the Great Soul Arena in Suotuo City to register.

The first to be scheduled for a match was Tang San and Xiao Wu's Three-No Combination.

Their opponents in the two-on-two match were the Cat-Mouse Combination.

Unlike the two blacksmith brothers they had encountered during their first visit to the Suotuo Great Soul Arena, the Cat-Mouse Combination was not weak.

Yet under the combined assault of Tang San and Xiao Wu, who were practically cheating, they ultimately fell in defeat.

Holy Spirit Village.

After the intense and thrilling Soul Master battle tournament appeared, men, women, old, and young alike all raised their heads to watch the Sky Screen. Their eyes barely blinked, afraid they would miss a spectacular moment.

Lin Xianyu found it rather boring. Matches in the Soul Arena were ultimately too restrained; they lacked the appeal of real, life-or-death combat.

Fine, she found it insufficiently exciting and had no interest in watching further, so she simply returned to her room to sleep.

In any case, the system would still give her the benefits she was due.

Lin Xianyu quietly returned to her room without drawing anyone's attention.

There were others like her who were uninterested in the Sky Screen, only taking a glance or not watching at all.

Lin Xianyu was unremarkable among such people.

Tang San and Xiao Wu's Three-Five Combination got off to a strong start, ending the Cat-Mouse Combination's hopes of continuing their winning streak.

Dai Mubai and Oscar's combination also easily defeated their opponents.

Oscar merely made sausages and handed them to Dai Mubai, after which Dai Mubai fought one against two and won decisively.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's Seven Treasure Spirit Cat Combination also won.

Only Ma Hongjun stood alone, not participating in the two-on-two match because no one had teamed up with him.

He looked somewhat pitiful.

After the two-on-two combination matches ended, it was finally time for the grand finale, the team match.

Today, Shrek Team faced Berserk Team.

Berserk Team was powerful and had never lost a team match at the Suotuo Great Soul Arena.

Shrek Team was the newcomer, determined to knock Berserk Team off their pedestal.

After a grueling battle, Shrek Team won.

They had defeated Berserk Team.

Everyone found it unbelievable, as though they were dreaming.

But that was the truth.

Across the continent, discussions about Shrek Team gradually increased after they defeated Berserk Team.

Through this battle, Shrek Team proved its strength.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Fengzhi was surprised by Shrek Team's victory.

As the young sect master, he could naturally see that the seven members of Shrek Team all had extraordinary backgrounds.

Ning Rongrong, his future adopted daughter, was the young mistress of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing came from the Star Luo Empire's imperial family and a ducal household.

Ma Hongjun was a genius with a top-tier Martial Soul. As long as the dangers of his evil fire were resolved, his future would be bright.

Oscar was an even rarer food-type Soul Master with Innate Full Soul Power.

As long as he did not die prematurely, he would surely become a Title Douluo in the future.

There was even less need to mention Tang San and Xiao Wu.

The viewers with a godlike perspective had long since guessed their identities.

One was the child of the Clear Sky Douluo and a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Transformation Blue Silver Emperor, as well as a reincarnated soul from another world.

Xiao Wu, meanwhile, was a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Transformation.

Every member of Shrek Team had an extraordinary background. It looked as though they stood against Spirit Hall.

But they seemed even more like they stood against the Heaven Dou Empire.

After all, there were members of the Star Luo Empire's imperial family among them, yet no members of the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial family. There was not even anyone from the Heaven Dou Empire.

"This Shrek Team's lineup is quite interesting. I wonder whether it was an unintentional coincidence or whether someone deliberately stirred things up to give Shrek Team its current lineup?" Ning Fengzhi could not figure it out either.

From the perspective of conspiracy theories, whoever benefited was the culprit.

But a conspiracy theory alone would not work.

Spirit Hall.

After seeing Shrek Team's composition, Qian Xunji was so envious that he was practically drooling.

Spirit Hall's Golden Generation this year truly was not very impressive.

It was no wonder Qian Xunji had taken an interest in Shrek Team.

Still, interest was one thing. None of them seemed fond of Spirit Hall, as though every one of them intended to oppose it.

"The situation decades from now seems unfavorable to Spirit Hall." Qian Xunji was no fool. Of course he could see there was a problem with Shrek Team's composition.

Even without Xiao Wu, that Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Transformation, and excluding Ma Hongjun and Oscar, the two commoners without backgrounds, among the rest, one was the young sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, two were from the Star Luo Empire, and the last was from the Clear Sky Sect.

They were only missing someone from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to gather the Upper Three Sects.

The Grandmaster was also from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, though unfortunately he had exiled himself from the family. He had even claimed he would accomplish great deeds and bring shame upon the family, yet he had achieved nothing.

But the Grandmaster could still represent the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

The Upper Three Sects had gathered, along with people from the Star Luo Empire. No one would believe they were not doing so to oppose Spirit Hall.

Clear Sky Sect.

Tang Hao and Tang Xiao began discussing the matter.

"Hao, your adopted son is quite impressive." Tang Xiao said with a smile.

"Big Brother, thank you for the compliment." Tang Hao rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "He isn't my son. I'm still a child right now."

"Hao, that complaint is a little excessive." Tang Xiao said. "He is your future son, and for him to achieve such great accomplishments in the future is truly remarkable!"

"As expected of a disciple of our Clear Sky Sect."

"Hao, if you were to follow the process shown on the Sky Screen..."

Before Tang Xiao could finish, Tang Hao directly interrupted him.

He could not accept Tang Xiao's arrangement.

On the one hand, he disliked being arranged like that. On the other, he felt that no matter what he did, it would be impossible to replicate such achievements.

"Big Brother, stop joking. I refuse to become that old man from the Sky Screen!" Tang Hao said irritably. "Besides, even if I wanted to, no one would cooperate with me."

He did not even need to think about it to know that Ah Yin would run away.

Everyone wanted to survive, let alone a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Transformation.

Transforming into human form was originally meant to find a way to live.

Unable to survive the heavenly tribulation and unwilling to be struck to death by tribulation lightning, they chose the path of transformation.

They were weaker at first, but they did not need to hunt Soul Rings. As long as their cultivation speed kept up, they could quickly become strong.

Blue Silver Forest.

Ah Yin stayed surrounded by countless Blue Silver Grass, cultivating at an astonishing rate that was no slower than when she had mingled in human society.

Occasionally, she raised her head to see what the Sky Screen was showing and answered a few questions as well.

Some answers were correct, while others were wrong.

However, she answered correctly more often, so she received quite a few benefits.

Ah Yin now felt that she would not need more than twenty years to cultivate to Soul Saint. One or two years would be enough.

Her cultivation speed had increased immensely.

Star Dou Great Forest.

Xiao Wu's family of three was watching the Sky Screen.

When Xiao Wu acted as bait, drew out the Soul Master who had done evil, and gave him a harsh lesson.

"Dad, wasn't I amazing?" After teaching the bad Soul Master who had bullied Ma Hongjun a lesson, Xiao Wu immediately acted cute toward Xiao Wu.

She had genuinely defeated a four-ringed Soul Ancestor.

She had defeated a four-ringed Soul Ancestor while she herself was only a level 31 Soul Elder.

This...

Was not faked.

Nor was it sensational nonsense.

It was a real accomplishment.

"Amazing! My Xiao Wu is the most amazing!" Xiao Wu praised her.

He was not some daughter-doting fool.

But after seeing his daughter's shining performance, of course he had to give her positive praise.

If even he was stingy with his praise, it would hurt his daughter's confidence.

"Enough, stop praising her!" Ah Rou could not bear to watch any longer. She shot Xiao Wu a disdainful look before saying to Xiao Wu, "She's still young and can't withstand your praise. The more fiercely you praise her now, the harder she will fall in the future."

"Ah Rou, you're exaggerating. I only praised our daughter a little. How did it get elevated to that level?" Xiao Wu said gloomily.

"I'm telling the truth. I'm not exaggerating," Ah Rou said angrily.

Seeing her parents about to argue, Xiao Wu only felt that they were too noisy.

But she could not bring herself to stop them from arguing, so she could only lower her head and pretend to be an ostrich.

After defeating Berserk Team, Shrek Team became famous at the Suotuo Great Soul Arena.

Shrek Team also won all the battles that followed.

After every battle, the Grandmaster helped Shrek Team review it and summarize their gains and losses.

The Grandmaster's analysis was quite insightful, giving the members of Shrek Team much to reflect on.

They gained something from every battle, and after digesting those lessons, their combat experience improved greatly.

Aside from team battles, neither two-on-two battles nor one-on-one battles posed any difficulty for Shrek Team's members.

As time passed, more than a month went by. Shrek Team's fame continued to grow, and they became the star team of the Suotuo Great Soul Arena.

Then, on this day, the people from the Suotuo Great Soul Arena approached Shrek Team and asked them to help deal with an outside team.

The Grandmaster agreed.

The team Shrek Team would fight next was Heaven Dou Team from Heaven Dou Royal Academy!

The Sky Screen suddenly went black at this point.

Today's viewing session had come to an end.

No one left immediately. Instead, they remained outside and waited.

Generally, after the viewing ended, either a preview quiz for the next episode or an Arena would appear, but today there was nothing.

The Sky Screen remained black for several seconds, then vanished before everyone's eyes, replaced by the dark night sky.

"Hey, that's not right. Today's viewing ended, so why wasn't there a preview quiz for the next episode or an Arena? It just ended like that?"

"Today was supposed to be the day the Sky Screen appeared, but the Sky Screen already appeared, so... that must be why the preview quiz and Arena didn't show up."

"Looks like today was special. Not only did the broadcast begin out of nowhere, there wasn't even a Prize Quiz. There were at least several Prize Quizzes before."

"Forget it. We watched quite a bit today. Let's treat it as entertainment and go home to wash up and sleep."

Everyone discussed it animatedly, saying all sorts of things.

Many people in Holy Spirit Village, where Lin Xianyu was, were also discussing it.

They were so loud that Lin Xianyu, who was hiding in her room trying to sleep, could not fall asleep.

She did not dare sleep either, so she could only study the benefits she had gotten from the system.

Gaining one level of Soul Power for every broadcast was one thing, but there was also a special reward—her second Soul Ring.

Lin Xianyu sat at home while a Soul Ring fell from the sky.

She had originally been wondering what kind of second Soul Ring she would get.

If the Sky Screen System proved unreliable, she could gather some people and go to the Soul Hunting Forest to obtain a second Soul Ring.

She did not care about the age of the second Soul Ring.

After all, she had cheats.

If she was dissatisfied, she could use them to change it.

"Level 22! I haven't even cultivated seriously, and I'm already level 22. What if I actually cultivated properly?"

Lin Xianyu was quite satisfied with her current Soul Power level.

At six years old, she already possessed level 22 Soul Power.

The current Lin Xianyu was already comparable to Qian Renxue, who had an innate level of 20.

Qian Renxue was the heir to the Angel God, one who appeared only once every several thousand years.

She possessed innate Soul Power at level 20. As long as she cultivated diligently, she would undoubtedly become the youngest Title Douluo in the history of Douluo Continent.

Unfortunately, Qian Renxue insisted on pulling some stunt and going undercover in the Heaven Dou Empire.

These were merely one possible future, set several decades from now.

Now that everyone knew the future, it was equivalent to the future having changed.

Perhaps even Qian Renxue, the Angel God's heir, might never be born.

Uh... not necessarily. If Qian Renxue, the Angel God's heir, had to be born, then perhaps she would simply have different parents.

"Next year, I'll be seven. Can I break through to level 50, Soul King, before then?" Lin Xianyu thought of how there were still more than three months until next year.

She was currently level 22, still 28 levels away from becoming a level 50 Soul King.

A little over three months, with a playback every three days, would come to around thirty times.

If each time raised her Soul Power by one level, then thirty-odd times meant thirty-odd levels...

That was enough.

Before next year, she could become a level 50 Soul King.

That was far too terrifying!
