No Shame Left

They'd come right to their doorstep?

What in the world had gotten into Shrek Academy!

The gatekeeper didn't dare delay and immediately reported the news to the higher-ups.

When he learned that people from Shrek Academy had come to issue a challenge, Tianlian Douluo, the dean of Heaven Dou Advanced Soul Master Academy, dropped the work at hand and hurried to the entrance.

"You're the ones from Shrek Academy who came to issue a challenge?"

Tianlian Douluo looked at Yun Qianzhao and his group, whose average age was barely thirteen, and froze.

Yun Qianzhao presented his identification and introduced himself to Tianlian Douluo. "I'm Yun Qianzhao, homeroom teacher of Class One, Year One at Shrek Academy."

Homeroom teacher?

Wasn't he supposed to be the class monitor?

Tianlian Douluo was stunned. With his experience, he could naturally tell that the identification was genuine! But that was precisely what made it hard to understand!

Since when did Shrek Academy have such a young homeroom teacher?

What a joke!

Tianlian Douluo thought Jiaojiao and Bajiao beside him looked more like the homeroom teachers! At the very least, he could sense a faint aura of power from the two of them.

The Seed of Life carried by Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue concealed the pair's auras. Even Tianlian Douluo couldn't see through their identities as Soul Beasts.

After a long silence, Tianlian Douluo looked at the two with an expression that nearly cracked. "You two really are... heroes who emerged in youth! But as for the challenge..."

Yun Qianzhao said, "Your academy can put together a team below Soul King rank to fight us!"

"No, no, I mean..."

Tianlian Douluo pressed his lips together slightly and asked, "Are you truly representing Shrek Academy?"

"As genuine as they come." Yun Qianzhao nodded.

"Good! Then follow me inside. I'll make the arrangements." Tianlian Douluo nodded and led Yun Qianzhao and his group into Heaven Dou Advanced Soul Master Academy.

Compared to Shrek Academy's campus, which was practically a vast city, the grounds of Heaven Dou Advanced Soul Master Academy were much more modest. After passing through the covered walkways, they could already see large groups of students gathered to watch them arrive.

Everything about Shrek Academy was a hot topic. Seeing students from Shrek Academy actually come to issue a challenge left everyone excited.

They'd all considered applying to Shrek Academy. Some had even tried and been rejected. Now, seeing Yun Qianzhao and his group, they were all eager to test themselves.

With Tianlian Douluo's arrangements, Heaven Dou Advanced Soul Master Academy quickly assembled a full Soul King team equal in number to Yun Qianzhao's group.

In the Great Soul Arena, Tianlian Douluo stood between the two sides.

"These six are the six strongest Soul King students at Heaven Dou Advanced Soul Master Academy!" Tianlian Douluo introduced the two sides to each other.

During introductions, when Yun Qianzhao's side announced their cultivation ranks, the entire arena erupted!

Even The Twins and Na'er, who had the highest cultivation, hadn't reached the fifth ring! And Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Xu Xiaoyan had only three rings!

"Teacher Yun, this isn't something to joke about!" Tianlian Douluo's expression darkened. His brow furrowed as he glanced at the noisy stands, then he asked Yun Qianzhao in a low voice, "Are you deliberately making fun of us?"

Yun Qianzhao shook his head and replied calmly, "Of course not! We're confident."

"But you don't have a single Soul King!" Tianlian Douluo's brow knitted tightly. He was about to announce that the match was canceled.

Tang Wulin stepped forward to stop him and said solemnly, "Your Excellency, we're the Shrek Seven Devils! So please believe in us."

"You..."

Tianlian Douluo's pupils contracted.

Damn it, they really had come to kick down the door!

Three Soul Ancestors and three Soul Elders against six Soul Kings. No matter who won, people would have something to say! Heaven Dou Advanced Soul Master Academy would be made into a complete laughingstock, win or lose! But with the name Shrek Seven Devils out there, they had no choice but to accept the match!

They were already at a disadvantage. If they backed out just because they'd heard the name Shrek Seven Devils, it would deal a crushing blow to the academy's reputation!

But Tianlian Douluo still had one question. Frowning, he asked, "The Shrek Seven Devils—why are there only six of you?"

"Six people in a seven-person team is perfectly normal." Yun Qianzhao answered with a smile.

Tianlian Douluo looked at The Twins and Tang Wulin, who were smiling, and thought it over. In the end, he agreed to let the match continue, but added, "Keep everything controlled. This is just a friendly spar. Friendship comes first!"

"Don't worry. We'll go easy on you." Yun Qianzhao nodded.

Tianlian Douluo left the arena weighed down with worry and returned to the dais, his expression as though he'd swallowed a dead fly.

"Dean, don't worry." Beside him, the director of academic affairs, who had once attended Shrek Academy, tried to reassure him.

"Isn't this just nonsense? Is Shrek Academy deliberately trying to humiliate us?"

Tianlian Douluo frowned and vented to the director of academic affairs. "We may not have the resources Shrek does, but we've been around for ten thousand years! As dean, I should at least have some dignity, shouldn't I?"

After all, he was a level ninety-five Super Douluo!

Shrek Academy had done this without even giving them a heads-up. It was outrageous!

"That's always been the academy's way! Things like this have happened before, but those times they were handled in secret, and students weren't allowed to compete under the academy's name! This time... it really did come as a surprise."

The director of academic affairs understood what Tianlian Douluo meant and answered awkwardly.

"Once this match is over, I'm going to Shrek Academy myself to protest!" Tianlian Douluo made up his mind.

On the Great Soul Arena, the Heaven Dou Team didn't look down on Yun Qianzhao and his group just because their cultivation ranks were lower. On the contrary, they regarded the six before them more seriously than ever.

Anyone who dared challenge a full Soul King team at that cultivation rank was either a genius or an idiot!

There might be madmen representing Shrek Academy, but there were absolutely no idiots.

"Cen Jin, Tong Nian, and I will charge in together. Our targets are their three Soul Ancestors. We'll take out their strongest fighters first!" The Heaven Dou Team captain immediately laid out their plan. The two fighters flanking him nodded, their expressions grave.

"Yes!"

As soon as the match began, the Heaven Dou Team launched the first attack. Their captain was a Power Attack System Soul King. As he charged, arcs of lightning appeared around him, and silver-gray fur sprouted across his body.

The Polar Lightning Silver Wolf!

It was a Power Attack System Beast Martial Soul renowned for its speed.

Cen Jin and Tong Nian, also Power Attack System Soul Kings, followed close behind and charged straight at Yun Qianzhao and the other two.

The support-type Soul Master raised a hand, and a seven-tiered pagoda in seven colors rose into the air. Light of every hue fell upon the three charging fighters, making them even faster.

"That's—the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda!"

When Tang Wulin and the others saw the support-type Soul King release his Martial Soul, they stared in astonishment.

This was the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, renowned as the greatest support-type tool Martial Soul in the world!
