Tang San: I'm Afraid of Fire

Chapter 46: Tang San: I'm Afraid of Fire

Although the Shrek teachers and students had a setback at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, they coincidentally entered Blue Overlord Academy in Heaven Dou City and met Liu Erlong.

To support her former lover Yu Xiaogang and friend Flender, Liu Erlong renamed Blue Overlord Academy to Shrek Academy.

This way, Tang San and the others could represent Shrek Academy in next year's Soul Master Competition.

Qin Ming also became a teacher at Shrek Academy.

Yu Xiaogang gathered Tang San and the others and explained the rules of the Soul Master Competition.

"Everyone, we don't have much time left. We must fight for the honor of Shrek Academy."

Dai Mubai said:

"Absolutely. Not just for Shrek Academy, but for ourselves too."

The others chimed in:

"We must prove with our strength that refusing us was a mistake by Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

"Right! What's so great about Heaven Dou Royal Academy?! We'll slap their faces when we achieve good results in the Soul Master Competition!"

Everyone was still resentful about being rejected by Heaven Dou Royal Academy; it was a great humiliation to them.

They were indignant and eager to prove themselves.

Achieving good results in the Soul Master Competition, or even winning the championship, was the best opportunity to prove themselves.

Yu Xiaogang said:

"It's good that you have confidence, and I believe you can do it. But I need to make you recognize the strength of your opponents.

Among the three seed teams that directly advanced to the Finals, the Spirit Hall Academy Team is undoubtedly the strongest.

Spirit Hall Academy not only has the best student source but also various top-tier learning resources and conditions.

In the previous three Soul Master Competitions, the Spirit Hall Academy Team won twice.

As far as I know, the members of this year's Spirit Hall Academy Team are stronger than any previous year. They have all reached the Battle Soul Ancestor level and are known as the Martial Soul Hall Golden Generation.

Among them, three are outstanding and are known as the Martial Soul Hall Three Heroes. By next year's Soul Master Competition, all three of them might reach the Battle Soul King achievement."

Hearing this, the Shrek Seven Devils exchanged glances.

They had only one goal in the Soul Master Competition: the final championship.

The Spirit Hall Academy Team was undoubtedly a mountain blocking their path.

To cross this great mountain, it would surely be difficult.

But they believed a miracle would happen.

Tang San asked:

"Teacher, which team won the championship in the other session?"

Yu Xiaogang replied:

"The other championship team was the Star Luo Royal Academy team. Star Luo Royal Academy is different from Heaven Dou Royal Academy; their students are not connections, but truly capable individuals."

Upon mentioning Star Luo Royal Academy, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a look, seeing the determination in each other's eyes.

Yu Xiaogang continued:

"Among the three seed teams, Heaven Dou Royal Academy's strength was the weakest. You've already met the members of this year's team, and their overall strength is not weak, especially that Long Chen, who can be considered an extremely terrifying existence. With him, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team has the qualification to challenge the other two seed teams."

Mentioning Long Chen made the Shrek group's scalps tingle.

Especially Tang San.

On the central Soul Fighting Platform in the Suotuo Great Soul Arena, if Long Chen hadn't intervened, the Shrek Seven Devils would have defeated the Royal Fighting Team.

But the victory they were about to achieve was destroyed by Long Chen alone.

Moreover, under Long Chen's control, Tang San was completely powerless and ended up injuring himself.

Tang San had never experienced such humiliation.

He vowed to turn his grief into strength and avenge his past humiliations.

"Long Chen is indeed a powerful opponent, but precisely because of that, we cannot back down. Every failure is a stepping stone to success. We, the Shrek Seven Devils, have never feared a challenge!"

Yu Xiaogang nodded gratifiedly.

"Well said. True powerhouses rise from adversity, viewing challenges as opportunities for growth. Although those three seed teams are strong, you also have your advantages—unity, perseverance, and the desire for victory."

Tang San then asked:

"Teacher, besides those three seed teams, are there any other strong teams?"

"Of course."

Yu Xiaogang paused, then continued:

"The Heaven Dou Empire has five great element academies, all of them established institutions that follow the Extreme Style, with considerable strength.

They are: Thunderclap Academy for the Thunder Element, Godwind Academy for the Wind Element, Skywater Academy for the Water Element, Blazing Fire Academy for the Fire Element, and Elephant Armor Academy for the Earth Element."

According to the rules of the Soul Master Competition, the Heaven Dou Division only has five quotas for advancing to the Finals. To stand out in the Heaven Dou Division, we must rank in the top five. This means we have to eliminate one of the five academies mentioned above."

Tang San frowned, his gaze firm.

"Among those five elemental academies, Blazing Fire Academy is the one that poses the greatest threat to us. The Fire Element has a natural counter to my Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, which will affect my performance. However, we are a whole. Through tacit cooperation, we can still defeat them."

Dai Mubai patted Tang San's shoulder and chuckled.

"That's right. As long as we, the Shrek Seven Devils, work together, there's no hurdle we can't overcome."

Ma Hongjun scratched his head and said with a simple laugh.

"Hehe, Third Bro, are you overthinking it? Aren't I also a Fire Element user, and a powerful one with evil fire, yet I still lost to you. We need to let those people know that our Shrek Academy is not to be trifled with!"

"Yes, Shrek will win!"

Yu Xiaogang looked at everyone, his heart filled with confidence.

"Very good. With such fighting spirit and determination, I believe you can definitely do it. Next, I will formulate personalized training plans based on each person's characteristics. To improve your strength more rapidly, I will also take you to the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena for training."

"Soul Arena?"

"Yes. I heard from Qin Ming that the soul masters who participate in soul duels at the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena are stronger than those you encountered at the Suotuo Great Soul Arena. If we can't match them in spirit power, then we will surpass them in combat experience."

Tang San straightened his body.

"Teacher, please rest assured. We, the Shrek Seven Devils, will never disappoint you, nor will we bring shame to the name of Shrek Academy. In next year's Soul Master Competition, we are determined to avenge past humiliations and make those who once looked down on us pay the price!"

"Good, I believe you."

For the next period of time, the Shrek Seven Devils entered a mode of intense special training.

Everyone made considerable progress.

However, Tang San felt it was still not enough.

Because based on their current spirit power progression, by the time of the Soul Master Competition, only Dai Mubai might break through Level Forty.

With such a lineup, it would be difficult to reach the end.

Therefore, they had to find a way to help their teammates improve their spirit power.
