Shrek Had Lost!
Xie Xie's first target was Xu Lizhi, the chubby Food-type Soul Master.
He moved with Gui Mei speed, appearing precisely less than a meter behind Xu Lizhi!
A flash of cold light appeared in his hand Light Dragon Dagger silently sliced through the air, aiming for Xu Lizhi's unsuspecting nape!
He was determined to win this attack!
The opponent is Support Type Soul Master; being ambushed at such close range by Agility Attack System Soul Master is utterly hopeless!
However, the anticipated scenario of the referee intervening and declaring Xu Lizhi eliminated did not occur.
Just as the Light Dragon Dagger was about to touch Xu Lizhi's skin... Xie Xie only felt a blur before his eyes!
The round figure that was originally standing still twisted at an extremely strange angle and with extreme agility, narrowly missing the edge of the dagger, and instantly moved several feet away, appearing in another position unharmed!
"What?!"
Xie Xie's smug smile froze instantly, then vanished abruptly, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Five words flashed through his mind like lightning.
Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track?!
He is now a disciple of the Tang Sect, so he naturally has some understanding of the Tang Sect Secret Arts.
Xu Lizhi's incredibly skillful dodging technique just now was clearly the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.
This seemingly simple-minded chubby boy is actually a member of the Tang Sect?
Xie Xie a chill run down his spine and abandoned his contempt.
His gaze swept across the room and he discovered that not only Xu Lizhi, but also Ning Xin, the Support Type Soul Master on the other side, had somehow managed to grasp a gleaming Soul Guidance Thin Sword in her left hand!
Clearly, the Support Type Soul Master trained by the Shrek Academy are not the kind of "easy targets" who can only hide behind their teammates and wait to be killed once they are approached.
Defeating these two will likely not be as easy as he imagines.
Just as Xie Xie was adjusting his mindset and preparing to look for new opportunities...
"Stars in the sky, twinkling brightly, forever radiant, ever peaceful!"
A clear and melodious chanting voice rang out from behind Class Zero's formation.
Standing beside Huo Yuhao, Xu Xiaoyan held the fully evolved Star Wheel Ice Staff aloft with both hands, the six-pointed star pattern on the staff tip shimmering with mysterious starlight under the night sky.
As the first Yellow Soul Ring beneath her feet shone, the six-pointed star at the top of the Star Wheel Ice Staff suddenly detached, instantly traversing half the distance of the arena, and silently appeared beneath Qian Hongdu's feet!
The six-pointed star pattern shone brightly, followed by a series of Star Wheel Ice Chain formed from pure Starlight Power and Ice Element, which rapidly rose from the edge of the star array, Entanglement and bound Qian Hongdu tightly in an instant!
Qian Hongdu's expression changed drastically. He struggled desperately, only to find that the ice chains were not only exceptionally tough, but also had a strong slowing and freezing effect, making his Soul Power circulation sluggish and making it difficult for him to break free for a time!
Xu Xiaoyan's First Soul Skill Absolute Establishment effect. Even Titled Douluo- level powerhouse would be bound for at least a second, let alone Qian Hongdu, a three-ring Soul Elder.
Gu Yue remained calm, as if he had already anticipated this outcome.
She didn't even glance at Qian Hongdu, who was bound like a dumpling. With a light wave of her hand, a deep red fireball radiating terrifying heat roared towards the immobile Qian Hongdu, trailing a scorching wave of air!
The timing was impeccable!
Just as Qian Hongdu was completely bound by the Star Wheel Chain and lost all ability to dodge, this fatal attack arrived!
The referee reacted extremely quickly. Just as the fireball was about to hit Qian Hongdu, a gentle barrier of Soul Power opened with a wave of his hand, intercepting the powerful fireball.
At the same time, the referee's voice resounded throughout the arena. "Qian Hongdu of the Shrek Academy... eliminated!"
That's not all!
Almost at the same moment the referee announced Qian Hongdu's elimination, Huo Yuhao, who had been standing at the back of Class Zero's formation, suddenly had a sharp glint in his eyes!
The first deep black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring beneath his feet shimmered slightly.
Three invisible and intangible Soul Lash pierced the Spirit Sea of Ning Xin, Xu Lizhi, and Ye Xinglan, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Tang Wulin, with unparalleled precision!
The three of them stiffened simultaneously, their faces contorted with unbearable pain. It was as if their Brain had been struck by a heavy hammer, their consciousness momentarily blank and confused, and their Soul Power circulation and physical movements both halted!
Now!
Tang Wulin and Xie Xie seized the opportunity and launched their attacks simultaneously!
The referee reappeared as if by Teleportation, his hands moving with incredible speed and precision to block Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Claw and Xie Xie's double dagger attacks, rescuing the three Shrek from this sudden and deadly attack.
The referee then took a deep breath and announced, word by word, "Shrek Academy, Ye Xinglan, Xu Lizhi, Ning Xin... are eliminated!"
With the names of these three announced, all five members of the Shrek Academy's team on the arena were eliminated.
This officially marks the end of the Exhibition Match held at the Closing Ceremony of the Heaven Sea Alliance Tournament.
The ultimate victor is... Class Zero of the Eastsea Academy!
The entire Heaven Sea Stadium seemed to be gripped by an invisible giant hand, instantly falling into a deathly silence.
Tens of thousands of eyes were fixed on the arena, their gazes fixed on the few young men from the Eastsea Academy.
Lost?
Shrek Academy... actually lost?
How is that possible?!
That's Shrek Academy!
Their elite youth team recently swept aside the previous Skysea Alliance Youth Group champions in the Opening Exhibition Match!
How could they have lost to Class Zero of the Eastsea Academy on the same stage just over ten days later?!
The immense cognitive shock left everyone speechless.
After a moment of breathtaking silence, the entire venue erupted in cheers.
"Boom!!!"
The entire stadium was instantly engulfed by a deafening roar of discussion!
Disbelief was written on everyone's face. The outcome of this duel was destined to become the focus of heated discussion throughout the Soul Master World for some time to come.
On the ring.
Ye Xinglan knelt helplessly on the cold ground, her face ashen, her lips devoid of color, trembling slightly.
Those eyes, which usually shone with pride and sharpness, were now empty and lifeless, as if they had lost all focus, leaving only a blank and deathly silence.
Scalding tears, like beads from a broken string, streamed uncontrollably down her cheeks, leaving two clear tear tracks on her pale face, but she was completely unaware of it.
Her lips moved, uttering a faint, almost inaudible murmur.
"We lost... we lost... Shrek... we lost... I... I lost..."
Every word seemed to have been uttered with all her might, carrying indescribable pain and despair.
The myth of Shrek's invincibility, the glory and pride that Shrek had inherited for 20,000 years... were utterly shattered before her very eyes!
And she... Ye Xinglan, is the "culprit" behind all of this!
It's fair to say that the more she valued Shrek's glory before, the more devastated, helpless, and pained she felt at this moment!
Because she felt that she had... destroyed the most sacred faith in her heart with her own hands!
"Um?!"
On the arena, Shrek Captain Yu Tianlong, who had been unconscious, suddenly trembled and opened his eyes.
He struggled to prop himself up, the dizziness not completely gone, his vision still somewhat blurry.
But the next second, memories flooded back like a tidal wave, and he recalled what he had just experienced.
He sat bolt upright, his eyes scanning his surroundings. He could immediately discern the situation.
Lost?
Shrek Academy... actually lost?!
This was an outcome he had never anticipated!
A surge of burning shame and indignation rushed to the top of his head, and Yu Tianlong almost roared, "Let's fight again! I haven't even used my full strength yet! I still have my Battle Armor to use!"
The hoarse roar echoed on the ring and was clearly transmitted throughout the entire Heaven Sea Stadium through the loudspeaker system.
Countless spectators stared in disbelief at Yu Tianlong's "performance," as it was the first time they had ever seen Shrek Academy students act so "unruly"!
The referee glanced sideways, but his gaze passed over Yu Tianlong and landed on the boy who was about to walk down the steps.
Huo Yuhao paused, but did not turn around.
He gave a very faint smile, then continued walking down the path and left the arena.
Behind him, the other four Class Zero members also turned around indifferently and followed Huo Yuhao's figure away.
Only Yu Tianlong's voice continued to explode in the empty center of the arena, each sound crashing into the air before shattering into an unanswerable echo.
