Tianhai Competition Exhibition Match

Just then, the broadcast voice swept across the entire venue.

"Dear audience, dear guests, hello everyone!"

The powerful voice echoed through the stadium, instantly drowning out all the noise.

"Today is the day the Tianhai Competition begins. We have specially invited a team from Shrek Academy to engage in an exchange and sparring session with our previous champions."

"Given Shrek Academy's formidable strength, this exchange and sparring session will adopt a cross-age category format."

"The Tianhai Alliance Youth Group Seven Champions will challenge the Shrek Academy Youth Seven Group."

"Now, please welcome both sides to the stage!"

As the words fell, thunderous applause and cheers erupted from the entire venue.

Representing the Tianhai Alliance were the seven students from Tianhai Academy, the champions of the previous Youth Group.

This year, they were all over twenty years old and could only compete in the Adult Group.

The seven emerged from the player tunnel, each clad in silver team uniforms, looking heroic and spirited.

Five men and two women, their movements were perfectly synchronized. Each of them was full of vigor, their eyes carrying a hint of excitement.

In their eyes, as participants in the Adult Group, facing participants in the Youth Group was a sure win.

So what if they were from Shrek Academy?

The age gap was right there, five or six years. Whether it was Soul Power or combat experience, they held an absolute advantage.

Upon thinking of the rewards after victory, many were already starting to rejoice in their hearts.

At this moment, the students from Shrek Academy also came up from the other side of the stage.

Seven individuals, appearing to be around fourteen or fifteen years old on average, wore green sportswear with the Shrek Academy logo printed on them.

Their steps were steady, their expressions calm, without a trace of nervousness.

The two sides on stage exchanged greetings.

The seven from the Tianhai Alliance were clearly taller than their opponents, the age gap evident.

On Shrek Academy's side, the Leader was a boy around fifteen years old.

His appearance wasn't particularly striking, but he possessed an indescribable aura.

Standing there, despite his young age, he was like a mountain.

Just a few steps forward, and he immediately became the focal point of everyone's attention.

The two sides briefly introduced themselves.

Then, the Referee walked to the edge of the Arena and raised his right hand high.

"Now, let the match begin!"

The moment the words fell...

In a flash of lightning, a strong Blue Light erupted on the Arena.

The Blue Light was dazzling, like a blue sun exploding on the stage.

Immediately after, streaks of massive Lightning surged out from the Blue Light, instantly engulfing the entire Arena.

"RUMBLE!!"

The thunderous roar was deafening.

Everyone involuntarily squinted their eyes.

About a minute later, the Lightning dissipated.

The light on the Arena gradually faded.

The entire venue fell silent.

The Seven People representing the Tianhai Alliance had all fallen onto the Arena, lying in disarray, motionless.

And the Seven People representing Shrek Academy, still maintained their initial formation, not even a single step had been moved.

The entire venue fell silent.

For a moment, the Stadium, which could accommodate a full eighty thousand people, was eerily quiet.

You could hear a pin drop.

The Youth who was the Leader of Shrek Academy bowed slightly in greeting, then led his team and turned to leave the stage.

Their steps were still steady, their expressions still calm, as if they had just done something insignificant.

It wasn't until their backs disappeared into the player tunnel that a clamor erupted in the Stadium.

"This... this is too fast!"

"One minute? No, was it even a minute?"

"I didn't even see what happened clearly!"

"This is Shrek Academy?!"

Couldn't even last a minute in an inter-age battle?

This was practically a massacre.

The members of the Tianhai Alliance hadn't even been able to display their full abilities, nor had they fully released their Martial Souls before being defeated.

Shrek Academy's offense was simply too fast, like a storm.

That instantaneous burst of power was like a dragon suddenly awakening on the Arena, devouring their opponents in an extremely short period.

In the stands, Zhou Tian'er frowned.

"Although Shrek's students defeated the previous Tianhai Competition Junior Group Champion in one blow."

"For some reason, I just feel like it was... just like that."

She tilted her head in thought, then turned to look at Wang Zhi, her tone laced with teasing.

"It's all your fault for being too strong, Xiao Zhi, you've raised my standards too high."

Hearing this, Wang Zhi was helpless.

"Tian'er Jie, how can you blame me for this?"

"It's your fault!" Zhou Tian'er said righteously.

Zhou Hanyou reached out and tapped Zhou Tian'er's head.

"Quiet."

"This is the stands."

Zhou Tian'er covered the spot where she was tapped, her voice stretching out in a wronged tone.

"Oh~"

Just then, Zhang Zhenpeng pushed through the crowd.

He held several slips of paper in his hand, a smile on his face.

"The draw results are out."

He distributed the slips to the four of them.

"These are your numbers and match times."

"The times for both the individual and team matches are marked on them, don't get them wrong."

Wang Zhi took a slip and glanced at it.

Individual Match, he ranked...

Forget it, I can't remember.

Anyway, I'll just follow the arrangements when the time comes.

In the following days, the competition proceeded in full swing.

The stadium was packed with people every day, with cheers, shouts, and encouragements rising one after another.

Wang Zhi shuttled between the Individual Match and the Three-Person Team Match.

But the opponents' Strength was truly mediocre.

After all, it was the Selection stage, many participants were One-Ring Soul Masters, and Two Rings were rare.

For Wang Zhi, opponents of this level didn't require him to be serious at all.

He would only summon one Ghost Shadow Ninja each time.

And then...

One-hit kill.

No matter what the opponent's Martial Soul or Soul Skill was, they couldn't last a single round against the Ghost Shadow Ninja.

The audience went from initial gasps to numbness, and finally to anticipation.

They just wanted to see if this Youth could fight his way through.

Wang Zhi did not disappoint them.

He advanced all the way, killing opponents instantly.

It was so easy it felt less like a competition and more like a stroll.

And the Three-Person Team Match was even simpler.

Wang Zhi didn't even need to make a move; the Two Sisters, Zhou Hanyou and Zhou Tian'er, easily defeated their opponents.

Three matches, three victories.

Not a single one lasted longer than three minutes.

Of course, this was just on the surface.

Wang Zhi knew very well that if he made a move, the match would end even faster.

Because his current Strength was far beyond this.

His Spiritual Power had already reached the Spirit Sea Realm.

This was a qualitative Leap.

With Spiritual Power at the Spirit Sea Realm, he could summon a full Thirty Ghost Shadow Soldiers.

And now, each Ghost Shadow Soldier's cultivation had reached the Three Rings Soul Elder level.

But his true Strength...

He had tested it.

With Thirty Ghost Shadow Soldiers attacking simultaneously, even a Five Ring Soul King could be dealt with within half a minute.

Even a Six Rings Soul Emperor could be defeated in battle.
