Ending the Fight in One Minute

On the arena, the seven members of the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy were almost unable to stand.

Team leader Chen Fei stood at the very front, his legs trembling uncontrollably.

He swallowed hard, looking at the seven boys and girls in Shrek school uniforms opposite him, cursing the teacher who drew the lots a hundred times in his mind.

Shrek Academy!

The No.1 academy on the mainland!

With all these accolades weighing on him, Chen Fei is almost too weak to even unleash his Martial Soul, let alone compete.

"Team leader..."

The team members standing behind Chen Fei approached, their voices trembling.

"It seems like the opposing team is all Reserve Team. They look so young."

Chen Fei turned around and cursed in a low voice:

"You don't know anything! Shrek's Reserve Team are monsters among monsters! Didn't you see that blond kid leading them? He's so handsome, he's definitely a tough guy!"

The team members shrank back after being scolded and dared not say a word.

The Tianling Team was shrouded in gloom; not a single person dared to even breathe loudly.

Shrek, on the other hand, seemed as relaxed as if he were strolling through a shopping mall.

Wang Dong'er moved closer to Dai Huabin and nudged his arm with her elbow.

"Hey, look over there." Wang Dong'er lowered her voice, her tone full of disdain.

"Why are those guys shaking like sieves? The fight hasn't even started yet, and they're already this scared?"

Dai Huabin crossed his arms and glanced at the Tianling Team.

"Nonsense." Dai Huabin said casually, "The name Shrek is a golden brand in the Douluo Continent. It's normal for ordinary academies to be intimidated before even fighting us."

Xiao Xiao raised her little hand excitedly, "So, does that mean we won't have to put in much effort to win later?"

"You wish." Cui Yajie reached out and pinched Xiao Xiao's cheek. "The other side has at least four Soul Ancestor. If we don't take them down, the referee won't declare us the winner."

Ning Tian stood at the back of the line and stretched his wrists.

"Huabin, as we agreed before, I'll give you all attribute boosts at the start?" Ning Tian asked.

Dai Huabin nodded.

"Right. As soon as the referee yells 'start,' Ning Tian will immediately activate his amplification. Dong'er, Yajie, and Xiao Xiao, the three of you just throw out a few skills to suppress him."

Dai Huabin turned to look at Zhu Lu, who had been standing quietly beside him.

"Lulu, stay close to me."

Zhu Lu nodded obediently, her hands already ready for battle.

In the center of the ring, the referee raised his right hand.

"Boys, announce your names!"

Chen Fei took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the fear in his heart, and shouted out.

"Chen Fei, Captain of the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy!"

The team members behind him also sparsely gave their names.

When it was Shrek's turn, Dai Huabin took a step forward.

"Shrek Academy, Captain Dai Huabin."

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the entire Star Luo Plaza.

Subsequently, Zhu Lu, Wang Dong'er, and others announced their names in turn.

The sight of a group of handsome men and beautiful women caused another stir among the audience in the stands.

Seeing that both sides were ready, the referee swung his arm down sharply.

"The match begins!"

As soon as the words were spoken, all seven members of the Tianling Team shouted at the same time and released their Martial Soul.

Two yellow and two purple Soul Ring Configuration appeared on Chen Fei and the other three Soul Ancestor.

The other three Soul Elders were two yellow and one purple.

The configuration is decent, which is considered good for an average college.

Chen Fei's arms grew thick black hair and turned into a pair of bear paws; this was his Martial Soul Great Strength Bear.

"Brothers! Let's fight them! Even if we lose, we must show the spirit of the Tianling Academy!"

Chen Fei roared to bolster his courage, and led the three Soul Ancestor to charge forward.

Just then...

Shrek's formation has shifted.

Xue Qingyao stood at the edge of the Shrek Academy team. Today she was wearing a plain white dress, and her long, white hair cascaded down like a waterfall.

The four Soul Ancestor from the opposing Tianling Team had just finished shouting their slogan and were preparing to charge forward.

Xue Qingyao suddenly turned around, took a step without saying a word, and walked directly towards the edge of the arena.

The sound effects of the audience's shouts were stuck in their throats.

An eerie silence fell over Star Luo Plaza.

Chen Fei, the captain of the Tianling Team, abruptly stopped in his tracks, nearly straining his back. He stared wide-eyed at the girl in the white dress as she walked down the steps, his mind a complete mess.

What kind of tactic is this?

Should we send someone away first?

Or is this some kind of terrible trap set by Shrek?

The referee was dumbfounded.

In all his years as a referee, this was the first time he had encountered a situation where a contestant walked off the stage on their own as soon as the start signal was given.

"This..." The referee looked at Xue Qingyao, then at Dai Huabin.

Dai Huabin shrugged. "She didn't want to play, she forfeited. Referee, you should announce it now."

The referee swallowed hard, picked up the Amplifying Soul Tool, and stammered:

"Shrek Academy's Xue Qingyao has voluntarily stepped down from the stage and is eliminated!"

The moment those words were spoken, the stands erupted in chaos.

"What is Shrek up to? A seven-on-seven match, and they're already cutting off their own arm at the start?"

"That's incredibly arrogant! Does this mean six people can defeat Tianling Academy?"

"I think it's because that girl is too weak, and we're afraid she'll hold the team back on stage."

In the rest area of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy, Xiao Hongchen slapped his thigh and sneered:

"Arrogant! With one less person, let's see how they handle this!"

Meng Hongchen rested her chin on her hands, her eyes sparkling as she stared intently at Dai Huabin on the arena.

"Brother, are you stupid?"

Meng Hongchen curled her lip. "That's called confidence. Look at Dai Huabin, does he look even a little flustered? It's obvious he doesn't take his opponent seriously."

"Confidence? That's called arrogance!" Xiao Hongchen snorted.

The Star Luo Imperial Family VIP Lounge.

Xu Jiujiu watched Xue Qingyao walk off the stage, his brows furrowing slightly.

She had investigated the Shrek Academy team's records, and the girl named Xue Qingyao had a very mysterious background with no prior history.

He's already stepping down right at the start?

"What exactly is Huabin up to?" Xu Jiujiu rested her chin on her hand, her curiosity growing stronger.

On the arena.

Dai Huabin completely ignored the noise from the outside world.

He took a half step back, put his hands in his pockets, and spoke as casually as if he were ordering food:

"Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, Yajie, Ning Tian, this round is in your hands. Lulu and I will support you."

Wang Dong'er raised her chin. "You just stand back and watch. I'll take care of them in one minute."

"One minute? Dong'er, you're too conservative." Cui Yajie giggled, her long pink hair dancing in the wind.

Xiao Xiao rubbed her little hands together. "Everyone, hurry up! Let's go back for lunch after we're done!"

"Martial Soul Possession!"

Dai Huabin gave the order.

The remaining six members of Shrek simultaneously unleashed powerful fluctuations of Soul Power.

Ning Tian stood at the back of the group, her right palm facing upwards. A seven-story pagoda, radiant with light, instantly appeared. Three Soul Ring— yellow, yellow, and purple—rose from beneath her feet.

"The Seven Treasures Have Names, the first being: Strength!"

The second rule: Speed!

"Thirdly: The Soul!"
