Imperial Fighting Team [Bonus Chapter for 5,000 Collections] [Please Collect]

The next day, aside from Tang San, whose biological clock was remarkably strong, no one managed to get up before lunch. It was easy to imagine just how poor their Soul Arena results would be that day.

However, although everyone performed terribly in their 1v1 and 2v2 matches, exposing flaws everywhere in battle, most of them still won. In particular, they won the final team battle as well, which finally made Master's expression look much better.

The Soul Arena battles continued. Everyone fought two or three matches a day and gained something from each day, while what Zhang Yang gained was not merely Soul Arena points, but solid gold coins.

At first, only Ning Rongrong followed his bets. Later, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Xiao Wu, and the others joined in. Even Dai Mubai, who had never lacked money, went along with the crowd and placed a few bets, earning a little spending money.

Well, since no one had managed to stop Zhang Yang's winning streak, many people had begun following the trend and betting on him, driving Zhang Yang's odds down to an absurd degree. Even someone making large bets like Ning Rongrong could barely earn any money.

Later, a representative from the Great Soul Arena sought out Master. The two spoke at length in a private room, and after they came out, Zhang Yang received many promises as well, such as a high-value gold coin savings card,

as well as several other conditions.

Thus, in that day's 1v1 match, Zhang Yang encountered a White Tiger Beast Martial Soul Soul Master wearing the same kind of mask. Zhang Yang's winning streak then came to an end.

The individual bettors who had wagered on Zhang Yang's victory were also thoroughly fleeced by the Great Soul Arena and Zhang Yang working together.

Although Zhang Yang and the Shrek Team gained some notoriety afterward, Master had agreed to it after all. Besides, not only Zhang Yang but the academy itself had gained some benefits, so everyone accepted the bad reputation.

After battling continuously in the Soul Arena for half a month, Master gave everyone a day off to properly adjust their condition.

Afterward came nearly another half month of continuous Soul Arena battles.

That day, Master went to register the Shrek members for their Soul Arena matches as the Shrek Team's manager, only to be invited once more by Supervisor Ao, with whom he had cooperated pleasantly before, into a quiet private room.

No one knew what had happened with Master. They only knew that their opponents in today's 1v1 and 2v2 Soul Arena matches all surrendered on their own, allowing them to earn points effortlessly, after which the Great Soul Arena staff invited them to a secluded room.

Everyone found seats and sat down. Before they could ask Master what had happened, he spread a stack of documents flat across the table.

"This information is about your opponent in today's team battle." Master gestured for everyone to look. "This is a fully equipped team. It will be a tough battle for you."

Tang San's pupils contracted when he saw the documents on the table. "An entire team of Soul Elders with optimal Soul Ring configurations?"

Optimal Soul Ring configurations were what allowed the Shrek Team to defeat stronger opponents while weak, yet before this Imperial Fighting Team, they were truly at a disadvantage.

Zhang Yang's focus differed somewhat from Tang San's. "Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon? They're actually from that strongest Beast Martial Soul family?"

Master nodded. "That's right. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon is one of the supreme Beast Martial Souls, and its attack power is exceptionally formidable. Therefore, this captain is an opponent you must pay special attention to."

"Not only that, but this vice-captain with the Jade Phosphor Snake Martial Soul is also someone you must focus on. As a rare Martial Soul, it is extremely uncommon for the Jade Phosphor Snake to develop along the Control System path. I only know of one such person."

Flender's eyes instantly widened round. "Xiao Gang, the person you're talking about... couldn't be him, could it?"

Master nodded. "That's right. The only one who developed the Jade Phosphor Snake Martial Soul along the Control System path and became famous throughout the world is this Jade Phosphor Douluo."

Zhang Yang's expression changed drastically. "The Jade Phosphor Douluo, known as the poison tyrant of the world?"

"That's right. A Jade Phosphor Snake Martial Soul, a Control System Soul Master, and the surname Dugu... I dare say that the Imperial Fighting Team's vice-captain must be inseparably connected to the Jade Phosphor Douluo."

Everyone's expressions grew increasingly grave. Ning Rongrong was the exception, however. Her attention was on the information about the Imperial Fighting Team's Support-Type Soul Master.

Ning Rongrong looked at Master. "Master, I have something to say."

Master nodded. "During pre-battle analysis, everyone may speak freely."

Ning Rongrong extended a slender jade finger and pointed at the Support-Type Soul Master's entry in the documents. "I think our primary target must be this Support-Type Soul Master."

"Oh? Why?" Master was also quite surprised by Ning Rongrong's startling statement.

Ning Rongrong said seriously, "Master, you do not understand the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul. My father once called this Martial Soul a miracle among Martial Souls."

What status did Ning Rongrong's father hold? He was the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the strongest support Soul Master in the world, and an authority among Support-Type Soul Masters. For such an expert to praise it so highly, the Nine Heart Begonia must have something extraordinary about it.

Before Master could ask, Ning Rongrong revealed the answer herself. "The most peculiar thing about the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul is that no matter how many Soul Rings it possesses, it only has one Soul Skill: area-wide healing for everyone, with the degree of healing controlled by the Soul Master's will."

Everyone in the room was stunned. "There is actually such a terrifying Martial Soul?"

"Yes. My father once said that with a Nine Heart Begonia Soul Master present, even dying would not be easy. So if we do not remove her from the field at the very start, then until her Soul Power is exhausted, all our efforts will be wasted."

Master's expression stiffened even further.

The atmosphere in the room dropped to freezing point.

After pondering for a long time, Master nodded and made arrangements for the students. "In this battle, I still will not allow any of you to use Hidden Weapons. However, Xiao San, I permit you to use the Eight Spider Lances in battle."

Tang San's eyes lit up. "The Eight Spider Lances are the bane of poison. With them, the Jade Phosphor Snake Soul Master's effectiveness will be reduced to only half."

"Second..." Master looked at Zhang Yang. "Zhang Yang, in this battle, I permit you to use your Second Soul Skill."

Zhang Yang nodded in understanding. "Although I cannot use Elementalization to evade attacks, with the speed, I will do my best to remove the Nine Heart Begonia Soul Master from the field immediately."

"Lastly..." Master looked at Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing. "The opportunity in today's battle rests mainly with the two of you."

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing understood what Master meant. However, they still could not completely understand each other without words, and were just one step short of being able to use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

"Alright, that's it." Master clapped his hands. "Now, begin preparing."

Thus, the Shrek Team gathered around the Imperial Fighting Team's documents and began seriously studying tactics.

Meanwhile, in the VIP waiting hall, eight outstanding young talents were also gathered around a set of documents, discussing them enthusiastically.

This was information from the City Lord's Mansion regarding the Shrek Team. The two lines of notes beneath it were the focus of everyone's discussion.

Since the beginning of this month, the Shrek Seven Devils had maintained a perfect record in team battles. Their true strength was far from as simple as their levels suggested.

Among them, the Thousand Hands Asura, a Control System Battle Soul Master, and the Yellow Flash, an Assault Type Battle Soul Master, required particular attention.

The Thousand Hands Asura possessed extremely powerful control and was often able to turn the tide.

The Yellow Flash had not used a single Soul Skill in his most recent twenty-six battles, concealing his strength deeply.

Dugu Yan could not help laughing when she saw this information. "Teacher Qin, who gave you this information? It's hilarious. A Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul actually needs special attention? Hah, I doubt he could even withstand my First Soul Skill."

"Exactly, Teacher Qin. Especially this Yellow Flash. He only has thirty-second-level Soul Power, yet he is supposedly hiding his strength? Hahaha, what sort of opponents did they face before? This is killing me. A small place is still a small place. They do not even have any decent Soul Elder teams."

Teacher Qin snorted coldly. At the same time, every Imperial Fighting Team member felt their hearts abruptly contract. The intense shock made expressions of alarm appear on their faces.

"Yan Yan, I can overlook Yu Feng being a little careless. But as the vice-captain, you actually look down on your opponents so much? If you take the field with that mindset, I can almost guarantee that you will immediately suffer a huge setback."

Teacher Qin's words left even the arrogant Dugu Yan afraid to speak.

Teacher Qin's real name was Qin Ming. He was thirty-four years old and possessed sixty-first-level Soul Power. According to Spirit Hall's records, he was the second-youngest Soul Emperor in history. His talent was so great that it was simply despair-inducing.

Even people as proud as them had no choice but to sincerely admire someone like him.

Yu Tianheng, the captain born into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, patted Dugu Yan on the shoulder. "Teacher Qin, the Shrek Team has such a vast Soul Power gap compared to us. Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the one thing most worth watching, can only barely narrow that gap."

"Second, this captain Dai Mubai's White Tiger Martial Soul is not weaker than ours in terms of Soul Power. After receiving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's enhancement, he should be someone worth watching."

"That Evil Fire Phoenix is also worth noting. I have never heard of a Martial Soul called the Evil Phoenix, so it is presumably a mutated Martial Soul."

"As for the Yellow Flash mentioned in the information, since he has been hiding his strength all along, we must focus on him as well. But I do not know why this Blue Silver Grass Soul Master deserves attention. It is only Blue Silver Grass. No matter how strong his Soul Rings are, how strong can he really be?"

Qin Ming nodded slightly. "Your analysis is fairly calm. The information we have on the Shrek Team is limited to what lies before us. We can only see their true strength after crossing hands with them. Remember my words: never underestimate any opponent."

"Also, in this battle, I only permit you to injure your opponents. You are not allowed to cripple them or kill them. Yan Yan, pay particular attention to this. After the match, you must detoxify your opponents without the slightest delay."

Dugu Yan asked strangely, "Why? Teacher, do you not often tell us that on the battlefield, there are no fathers or sons, and that we must give everything we have? If we do not hurt our opponents, we might be the ones injured instead, so we absolutely cannot hold back."

Qin Ming shook his head. "You will understand the reason in the future."
