"Finally, we've reached the most anticipated moment of the day. The veteran powerhouse Skywater Academy will face the strongest dark horse, Shrek Academy. Skywater Academy has now won twenty-six matches in a row; they need only one more victory to achieve a perfect record.

"So, will Skywater Academy defeat every opponent and secure a perfect record, or will the dark horse bring down the veteran powerhouse? Let us wait and see."

As soon as the host finished speaking, waves of cheers erupted from the crowd. Clearly, the audience had been eagerly anticipating this battle for a long time.

In the VIP seats, Xue Ye looked at the two teams below on the Spirit Fighting Arena and suddenly asked Salas, Ning Fengzhi, and Bone Douluo beside him, "Sect Master Ning, Bone Douluo, Bishop Salas, which team do you favor more, Skywater Academy or Shrek Academy?"

"I favor Shrek more."

Ning Fengzhi was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then smiled and spoke.

"Oh?"

A flicker of surprise flashed through Xue Ye's eyes. He looked at Ning Fengzhi. "Why do you think so, Sect Master Ning? Is it because your youngest daughter is at Shrek?"

"That is certainly one reason, but not the only one!"

Ning Fengzhi explained with a smile, "Although Shrek did not display strength as overwhelming as Shui Wuchen's in their previous battles, they did once defeat Elephant Armor Academy in a single minute. More importantly, they have battle plans devised by Tang San's teacher, Master. Perhaps they have already found a way to counter Shui Wuchen."

Xue Ye was somewhat surprised after hearing Ning Fengzhi's reasoning.

In his impression, Ning Fengzhi rarely held anyone in such high regard. It seemed that this man called Master truly had some skill.

Xue Ye turned his gaze to Bone Douluo beside Ning Fengzhi. "And what about you, Your Excellency Bone Douluo?"

Bone Douluo said, "I favor Shrek as well."

However, unlike Ning Fengzhi, he said so purely because of his affection for Ning Rongrong. After all, he had no particular admiration for this so-called Master.

At that moment, Salas suddenly spoke from the side, brief and to the point. "Skywater."

Meanwhile, on the Spirit Fighting Arena.

Shui Wuchen said, "In this match, I will only help you hold back one person. That is also the headmaster's intention."

Shui Bing'er was delighted inwardly upon hearing Shui Wuchen's words. After all, if Shui Wuchen fought at full strength, the battle would probably end the instant it began.

Xuewu, Shui Yuer, and the other girls exchanged glances and nodded as well. "Brother Bing'er, we understand."

Within the Shrek team, the heavily built Ma Hongjun stared at the beauties of Skywater Academy opposite them, his eyes shining as he could not help teasing them. "Beautiful ladies over there, interested in a brief romance?"

The moment those words left his mouth, Shui Bing'er, Xuewu, and the other beauties immediately turned cold looks on Ma Hongjun.

"Shut up, you fat bastard."

Shui Yuer even snapped at him. She was someone who cared greatly about appearances, so she naturally could not stand someone like Ma Hongjun.

Even Shui Wuchen frowned, developing a trace of dislike for Shrek. If the other side had directly professed their love, he would not have felt much about it. After all, the female students of Skywater Academy were indeed exceptionally beautiful, and liking beautiful women was only natural.

But this fat man's first words had been about a brief romance. What he wanted was obvious without saying.

Seemingly sensing the chill radiating from the other side, Ma Hongjun felt cold all over and took a step back.

"Has this fat bastard's evil fire gone to his head?"

Dai Mubai was also rather helpless at the sight. Even he would not dare say something like that at a time like this.

It was not that he thought there was anything particularly wrong with Ma Hongjun's words. He had teased plenty of women himself. But what was the situation now?

If he angered the other side and they focused their attacks on him, there would not even be a place for him to cry.

He had truly done something even Dai Mubai could not so easily accomplish.

Tang San, meanwhile, was observing Shui Wuchen among the Skywater team, his expression grave.

He had instantly defeated Lightning Academy. Even if Tang San did not restrict his hidden weapons, he could not accomplish that. Yet Shui Wuchen had done it.

In Tang San's view, Shui Wuchen had undoubtedly become a towering mountain on Shrek's road to the championship. If Shrek wanted to win the title, they had to cross that mountain.

Then, at the Referee's reminder, both sides began releasing their Martial Souls.

"Whoosh—"

In an instant, Articuno was summoned by Shui Wuchen and began circling above his head.

Shui Bing'er, meanwhile, was shrouded in a layer of blue light. Within a ring of dazzling blue radiance, the phantom of an Ice Phoenix slowly appeared.

A moment later, everyone on the Spirit Fighting Platform had released their Martial Souls.

"Match start!"

Seeing that both sides had finished releasing their Martial Souls, the Referee immediately took a step back and announced the start.

"Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Hell—"

The moment the match began, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill without the slightest hesitation.

The Oppressive Feeling Shui Wuchen brought was simply too powerful. If they did not use it now, they might not get another chance later.

"Don't even think about it! First Soul Skill, Ice Seal!"

Seeing this, Shui Bing'er immediately activated her first Soul Skill. With a wave of her slender hand, a chill instantly spread beneath Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's feet.

At the same time, Gu Qingbo, whose body was covered in fish scales, and Shen Liuyu, whose body had taken on a ceramic texture, instantly turned into two blue shadows and charged out. Their target was the fusing Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.

In their view, Shrek's greatest threat was undoubtedly Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Hell White Tiger.

As long as they could deal with those two, the outcome of the following battle would effectively be decided.

Just then, the pitch-black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring around Tang San lit up.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Blue Silver Prison!"

In an instant, sixteen pitch-black Blue Silver Grass vines surged forth. Yet his target was not anyone from Skywater Academy, but Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.

Seeing this, Shui Bing'er instantly cast an Ice Seal, freezing Tang San in place!

"Not good!"

Although Tang San noticed it, Shui Bing'er's Ice Seal came too quickly. His body was still sealed in ice.

Yet in the very next moment, a violent surge of energy spread out, causing Shui Bing'er's expression to change.

"How could this be? I clearly froze those two!"

Shui Bing'er had absolute confidence in the accuracy of her Ice Seal. Even Shui Wuchen could only evade her Ice Seal through his overwhelming speed.

Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai had only just broken through to Soul Ancestors. How could they possibly avoid her Ice Seal?

Shui Bing'er abruptly looked toward Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, only to discover that the two were still standing where they had been. It was merely that the sixteen black Blue Silver Grass vines Tang San had unleashed had turned into sixteen pillars of ice.

"ROAR!!!"

With an ear-splitting tiger's roar, the Blue Silver Prison instantly shattered into countless shards of ice. A massive white tiger with a translucent body, white fur streaked with black, and purple double pupils stepped onto the arena atop ice.
