The following day, Star Luo Plaza.

An hour before the start of the semi-final, the Shrek team made their final preparations in the locker room.

Dai Huabin stood in front of everyone and scanned the team members present.

"In today's semifinal, Zhu Lu and I will replace Yao Haoxuan and Chen Zifeng, the rest of the lineup remains unchanged."

Ma Xiaotao leaned back in her chair, one long leg crossed over the other. Her face, half-covered by a red veil, revealed no expression. She simply asked casually:

"So you're finally going to do it yourself?"

"The previous few matches were indeed unnecessary," Dai Huabin said, shrugging.

"Come on."

Dai Yueheng rolled his eyes from the side.

"You only used one Domain of Eternal Freeze in your previous four matches, you had it easier than me. At least I played two matches."

Xixi, squatting in the corner wiping her wristband, replied without looking up:

"Huabin's appearance means he's going to put on a show, and I'm mentally prepared to be just a background character."

Ling Luochen sat quietly to the side, not participating in the teasing, but simply nodding slightly to indicate that she understood the arrangements.

Gongyang Mo raised his hand with a smile, "I have no objection, as long as the support is adequate."

Dai Huabin clapped his hands:

"Alright, enough talk. Everyone at the Star Luo Imperial Academy is Five-Ring Soul King. Xu Jiujiu's Star's Guard is Absolute Defense Soul Skill, so don't let your guard down."

"It's not like we're going to lose."

Ma Xiaotao stood up, smoothed her long, fiery red hair, and said, "Let's go, the sooner we finish, the sooner we can come back for dinner."

In the center of Star Luo Plaza, the giant stone arena has been cleared away.

The stands were packed; it was the day of the semi-finals, and the entire Star Luo City was practically deserted.

"The first match of the semifinals: Shrek Academy versus Star Luo Imperial Academy!"

The referee's voice was Amplifying Soul Tool and carried throughout the stadium, eliciting deafening cheers from the audience.

When Dai Huabin led his team onto the arena, the seven members of the Star Luo Imperial Academy on the opposite side were already in position.

She stood in the center of the line for Xu Jiujiu, her long golden hair fluttering slightly in the morning breeze. Her gold and white Heaven Dou Imperial Academy uniform made her look incredibly noble.

Her gaze swept over the crowd and landed directly on Dai Huabin.

Dai Huabin nodded to her, which was his way of greeting her.

Beside Xu Jiujiu stood a tall, burly young man with his arms crossed, radiating a dark and oppressive aura.

Huang Heyun, vice-captain of the Star Luo Imperial Academy, Dark Demon Tiger Martial Soul.

Looking further to the flanks, Yi Chen and Wang Shiying stood on the left and right respectively, their red and green robes swaying gently in the wind.

Dugu Shangshan and Chen Xiaojie stood on either side, while the Holy Wing hovered in mid-air, their giant wings spread wide, indicating they were ready for battle.

The standard team fight positioning is as follows: Xu Jiujiu is in the center to support and control the field, Huang Heyun is at the forefront as the main combat core, Feng Huo Shuang Guan is responsible for restraint on the left and right, Dugu Shangshan and Chen Xiaojie are on the flanks to flank, and Holy Wing is responsible for high-altitude support.

An extremely orderly formation.

The referee walked to the center of the ring and looked to the left and right.

"Both sides prepare..."

"Start!"

Xu Jiujiu reacted extremely quickly.

The moment the referee finished speaking, her Third Soul Ring lit up, and a purple aura surged.

"Star Radiance Technique!"

Golden starlight spread out from her, enveloping all six members of her team.

A pale golden light membrane appeared on each person's body, and their strength, speed, Soul Power, and defense all increased by forty percent simultaneously.

Immediately afterward, Xu Jiujiu's fourth Soul Ring lit up. It was also purple, but even more intense than the third ring.

"Star's Guard!"

A massive starlight defensive barrier rose up in front of her, the golden-white light shield enveloping the entire Star Luo Team. The surface of the shield was covered with fine starlight patterns, providing both elemental isolation and physical energy defense, making it an almost flawless defensive system.

Xu Jiujiu revealed his hand right from the start.

In the VIP section, a silver-haired youth wearing the uniform of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy leaned forward slightly.

Xiao Hongchen stared at the starlight barrier on the arena and muttered something to himself:

"Star's Guard? Is this the strongest defense of the Star Crown Martial Soul?"

Meng Hongchen sat beside him, her large, icy blue eyes fixed on Dai Huabin in the center of the arena.

"This shows she doesn't want to lose too badly."

Xiao Hongchen snorted but didn't say anything.

On Shrek's side, Gongyang Mo has already completed his amplification.

His Rainbow Dragon Martial Soul manifested a seven-colored phantom behind him, with his four Soul Ring flashing in sequence.

"Crimson Power!"

"The Orange Soul!"

"Yellow Speed!"

"Blue Defense!"

The four-fold amplification was applied to all members of Shrek, with their strength, Soul Power recovery, speed, and defense all maxed out simultaneously.

Ma Xiaotao felt the surge of power coursing through her body and moved her wrists:

"With Gongyang Mo's support and my fire, we're more than capable of winning any battle."

Dai Yueheng stood beside her, three of his six Soul Ring already lit up, and his White Tiger Vajra Transformation was ready to be unleashed.

"Xiaotao, don't burn them all. Leave two for me."

"It depends on my mood."

Ling Luochen didn't waste any words. The moment her Martial Soul was activated, her black hair turned ice blue, and a chilling aura suddenly spread around her.

Fourth Soul Skill: Ice Mist Ghost Chill.

A large expanse of icy blue mist spread out from beneath her feet, covering two-thirds of the arena.

The thick ice fog swallowed up the Star Luo Team's vision. Wherever the ice fog touched, the temperature plummeted, and fine ice shards began to condense in the air.

The movement speed of the Star Luo Team was significantly slowed down.

Immediately afterwards, Ling Luochen's fifth Soul Ring lit up.

The Ice Radiance Ring.

A dark blue ice ring descended from the sky, landing directly above the Star Luo Team, releasing a continuous suppressive wave as it rotated.

"Damn it!" Huang Heyun gritted his teeth, feeling his Soul Power flow become much more sluggish.

Yi Chen reacted immediately, expanding the fire ring of her third Soul Skill, "Flame Draw," in an attempt to burn away the ice mist.

Wang Shiying coordinated by releasing the "Wind Whirl Technique," using wind blades to stir up the airflow in an attempt to disperse the icy mist.

But Ling Luochen's icy mist was no ordinary ice-type Soul Skill.

With the four-fold amplification of Gongyang Mo, the concentration and coverage of the ice mist far exceeded Star Luo Empire's expectations. The wind and fire linkage only tore open a gap in the ice mist in front of them, and more cold mist immediately surged up from the side.

"Xixi, go." Dai Huabin gave the order.

Without saying a word, Xixi activated her First Soul Skill, "Lightning Flash," transforming herself into a golden lightning bolt as she sped through the icy mist.

His speed, amplified by Gongyang Mo's "Yellow Speed," had become so fast that it was difficult for the naked eye to perceive.

"Thunder Leopard Clone!"

Three illusory images of electric leopards simultaneously pounced on the two flanks of the Star Luo Team from different directions.

Dugu Shangshan and Chen Xiaojie were forced to distract themselves, as the lightning paralysis from the Volt Attack frequently made their movements stiff.

Although Chen Xiaojie's Lightning Falcon also belongs to the Agility-based attack type, due to the difference in overall enhancement, his "Lightning Spark" could not keep up with Xixi's movement trajectory at all.

"Quickly!" Xu Jiujiu voice echoed from within the Starlight Barrier, "Huang Heyun, block it head-on!"

Huang Heyun's Third Soul Ring lit up, and his entire body swelled up, covered in black demonic tiger stripes, Demon Tiger Shakes Heaven.

He spread his arms and unleashed his fourth Soul Skill, "Darkness Devour," a jet-black vortex emanating from his palms, attempting to devour the icy mist and the Ice Radiance Ring in front of him.

The dark vortex did indeed suppress some of the ice mist.

But this is only a part of it.

Because Dai Huabin made a move.
