Shrek Myth Shattered, Spirit Pagoda Becomes the Top Power?
The stadium was deathly silent.
The breath of the 100,000 people in the stands seemed to freeze.
In the Shrek rest area, Cai Yue'er stood still, her face ashen.
Her gaze was fixed on Yu Yuanheng, who was lying at the bottom of the pit, and her clenched fists trembled slightly.
She should have intervened.
She should have stopped Yu Yuanheng the moment he lost control.
It's all over, it's all over!
This is a huge loss of face for Shrek!!!
Leng Yaozhu's eyes reflected the black figure holding a long spear in the center of the arena.
A slight smile played at the corners of her lips.
"This kid really made the right bet!"
"It looks like it'll have to rain more."
Bai Yuan stood at the edge of the pit, looking down at Yu Yuanheng lying at the bottom.
"Why are you risking your life when I'm giving you so much money!"
The phantom of the Spear of Divine Retribution slowly dissipated in his hand.
Dark golden specks of light drifted from the tip of the spear.
When Bai Yuan stepped off the stage, the area around the arena was in complete chaos.
"Medical staff! Where are the medical staff? This person needs treatment!"
Shrek's coach yelled at the sidelines, his voice cracking.
Medical staff rushed out of the tunnel carrying a stretcher from the stadium.
The indicator lights on the soul-guided medical device flashed rapidly in the sunlight.
Yu Yuanheng lay at the bottom of the pit, fragments of his Dragon Transformation scales scattered around him.
The flesh on his arms was torn and rolled up, and blood seeped down through the cracks in the rubble. His face was as white as paper.
Several medical staff carefully lifted him onto the stretcher.
Chen Feng needed two people to support him to stand, and he limped towards the rest area.
Chu Yan's arms were burned by the electric arc and he couldn't lift them. He followed at the back of the group, head down and silent.
Ye Xinglan stood in front, her back ramrod straight, but her fingers were trembling slightly.
Yao Yue is still lying unconscious against the protective wall below the stands.
Ning Xian was rescued from her ice sculpture state, soaked to the bone, her lips frozen purple.
The clamor from the 100,000 people in the stands gradually subsided.
Someone took out Soul Guidance Communicator to film this scene.
Some people whispered among themselves, while others watched silently as the boys were carried onto stretchers.
Cai Yue'er stood at the edge of the rest area, her gaze sweeping over the injured trainees one by one.
Medical staff ran past her, but she stood motionless, her lips pressed into a thin line.
We lost!
A complete and utter defeat!
I don't know what to do!
This situation has not occurred since I became the dean of the Outer Court!
She didn't even know how to explain it to the academy or to the elders of the Sea God Pavilion.
In the distance, Leng Yaozhu stood up from a chair in the rest area and glanced at Shrek Academy.
Then she picked up her teacup, raised it slightly towards Cai Yue'er, and a tiny smile appeared on her lips.
She turned and walked towards the passageway.
Cai Yue'er's pupils contracted slightly.
Winning wasn't enough; they also had to stage a protest and adopt a condescending attitude to tell her...
"I won, you lost, it's that simple."
That woman— Leng Yaozhu.
Cai Yue'er took a deep breath, suppressing the surging anger in her heart.
His teeth were clenched so tightly they were grinding, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
"This woman... you just wait."
Bai Yuan walked to the rest area, with Gu Yuena beside him and A Ruheng at the very back.
The three sat down, and a staff member handed them water and towels.
Bai Yuan took the water, drank a sip, and glanced at the chaotic scene at Shrek.
A Ruheng also looked over and scratched his head.
Are they alright?
Bai Yuan withdrew his gaze and placed the water bottle on the chair.
"You held back; you won't die."
A Ruheng was stunned when he heard this.
"How can this junior brother talk about it so casually!"
"How terrifying! The teacher was right after all; befriending him only brought me benefits!"
So he praised Bai Yuan.
"Junior brother is truly a genius!"
"No, the number one genius!"
Mu Ye also stood up from his chair, patted A Ruheng on the shoulder, and grinned from ear to ear.
The Body Sect, along with the Spirit Pagoda, really showed off its power this time.
All of Shrek's wounded have been moved into the medical corridor.
People started leaving the stands, and some were discussing the battle that had just taken place.
Some people are still replaying the slow-motion scenes on the Soul Guidance Screen.
The moment Bai Yuan thrust his spear, the dark golden light of the spear was frozen on the screen.
Some people zoomed in, slowed down, and watched it repeatedly, but they still couldn't make out the outline of the spear.
The people at the Spirit Pagoda were tidying up their belongings in an orderly fashion.
The exhibition match of the Heavenly Sea Grand Competition has come to an end.
But the news just started pouring out!
The Shrek myth is shattered!
Spirit Pagoda dominate the number one power?
Although the exhibition match of the Heavenly Sea Grand Competition has ended, the real storm has just begun.
The message traveled even faster than with soul-guided communication.
Although the exhibition match of the Heavenly Sea Grand Competition has ended, the real storm has just begun.
The message traveled even faster than with soul-guided communication.
The match ended less than half an hour ago.
The same news was everywhere on Soul Guidance Screen, Soul Guidance Communicator, and public information platforms across the entire continent.
"The Shrek Myth Shattered! Three members of the Spirit Pagoda Overwhelm the Seven Shrek Students!"
The headlines from major media outlets were increasingly sensational.
The local newspaper in Skysea City, the Heavenly Sea Daily, used a bolder, larger font.
"Three Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring shocked the entire audience! The Spirit Pagoda youth slew the Shrek Academy genius with a single sword strike!"
The Heaven Dou Morning Post from Heaven Dou City was even more direct.
"The genius of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was defeated with a single sword strike, and Shrek's millennia-long glory suffered a crushing blow!"
The official information platform of Spirit Pagoda released a carefully worded report, but the title was anything but modest.
"The Spirit Pagoda's young geniuses Bai Yuan, Gu Yue, A Ruheng, together with their combined strength, completely defeated the seven elite members of Shrek."
The article details Bai Yuan's three Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings, Gu Yue's Mixed Element Control, and A Ruheng's Berserk Vajra.
The story concludes with the statement, "A new generation of Spirit Pagoda has risen, and the number one power on the continent may change hands."
There isn't a single word in the entire piece that belittles Shrek, but every single word speaks volumes.
You guys are no good.
The scene was even more lively among the common people.
The forums on Soul Guidance Network exploded with activity, and posts of all kinds poured out like snowflakes.
Three ten- Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring? Just who is this young man?!
<Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon gets brutally beaten by humans? Is Yu Yuanheng's Dragon Transformation just made of paper?>
Shrek's eternal glory was shattered by three people.
<The Spirit Pagoda has won this round to the point of exhaustion; where does Cai Yue'er put her face now?>
<Reason Discussion: Can Shrek retain its title as the top academy on the continent?>
Someone compiled clips of Bai Yuan drawing his sword, Gu Yue's Elemental Bombardment, A Ruheng going berserk, which went viral on various news platforms.
Someone dug up Shrek Academy's recruitment brochures from previous years and captioned them, "Number one forever? Heh."
Some people are even arguing whether Shrek is really finished.
Is the Spirit Pagoda going to replace Shrek as the number one power on the continent?
The die-hard fans supporting Shrek Academy fought back, saying it was just an exhibition match, not a formal competition, that Shrek's main players weren't there, and that Yu Yuanheng was just careless for a moment.
But these explanations seemed pale and powerless in the face of the absolute strength of those three people.
They can come up with a hundred reasons, but they can't change the fact that Shrek lost a seven-on-three battle.
In the lobby of the East Sea Branch of the Spirit Pagoda, the staff members were scrolling through the news while chuckling to themselves.
Someone forwarded a popular post from the forum to an internal communication group, adding a string of "hahaha".
The supervisor on duty coughed, and everyone immediately stopped smiling.
But he couldn't suppress the smug smile on his face.
Leng Yaozhu in her office chair, her slender fingers gently gliding across the Soul Guidance Screen.
The screen displayed headlines from major media outlets, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.
In just three days, without the Leng Family's intervention or the Spirit Pagoda's high-level public relations efforts, the media had already utterly humiliated Shrek Academy.
She put down the Soul Guidance Screen, picked up her teacup, and took a sip.
Somewhere in Skysea City, Cai Yue'er slammed her hand heavily on the table.
A crack appeared in the Soul Guidance Screen beneath her palm.
Forum posts, news headlines, and user comments flashed through her mind.
Every line of text was like a knife, stabbing into her heart.
Shrek's eternal glory, the rise of the Spirit Pagoda, and the number one power on the continent.
These previously unthinkable public opinion trends are slowly becoming a reality.
She gritted her teeth and swept the Soul Guidance Screen to the ground.
"You just wait!!!"
"Bai Yuan!!!"
"You'll pay!!"
