Star Luo Team

"Teacher, we haven't even started fighting yet. How can you already think we'll lose?"

After hearing the teacher's words, Xie Xie wasn't pleased. He put his hands on his hips and pointed at the Twins. "Our martial uncle is really strong!"

The teacher looked at Xie Xie and just smiled, saying nothing more.

Soon, they arrived at the Soul Fighting Zone.

Over at the Soul Fighting Zone, the Soul King Team from Star Luo Advanced Soul Master Academy was already assembled. There were six of them in total.

Two Power Attack System Soul Masters, and one each from the Auxiliary, Control, Agility Attack, and Defense Systems.

The two sides took their places on the field. When the Star Luo Team learned that their opponents were six people whose highest cultivation was only at the Four-Ring Soul Ancestor level, they were all greatly surprised! Their team captain immediately raised an objection.

"Teacher! This can't be right, can it? How could they possibly be our opponents? Shouldn't you bring in a Four-Ring team?"

The dean of Star Luo Advanced Soul Master Academy was a beautiful woman with the Star Crown title. She shook her head and said, "That's right. They're the ones you'll be fighting! Let me introduce them. These students are the Shrek Seven Devils from Shrek Academy!"

"The Shrek Seven Devils?"

When that title was announced before the teachers and students of Star Luo Advanced Soul Master Academy, everyone looked shocked.

"Substitutes. We're only substitutes..." Xie Xie said sheepishly, waving his hands when he heard that.

Star Crown Douluo shook her head with a smile. "Being selected as a substitute is proof of your talent in itself! Not just anyone can become one of the Shrek Seven Devils. Even I never earned that title back in my day."

"Your Excellency, were you a student at Shrek Academy too?" The others were a little surprised when Star Crown Douluo said this.

Star Crown Douluo nodded. "Of course! But after graduating from the inner court, I left the academy and returned to Star Luo City. Still, I won't go easy on you just because I'm your senior."

"Of course!" Everyone nodded.

The Star Luo Team members looked unhappy. They considered themselves mighty Soul Kings, and if they were going to compete, they naturally expected to fight a team of Soul Kings. Yet the academy had made them fight a bunch of Soul Ancestors and Soul Elders!

So what if they came from Shrek Academy? The gap in cultivation was right there!

"Martial uncle, deputy captain! Look at their faces..."

Seeing the Star Luo Team's expressions, Xie Xie could hardly wait to fight. "Let's show them that even if we're behind in cultivation, they still can't look down on us."

Yun Qianzhao turned his gaze to Xie Xie and smiled. "All right. You go first."

With that, Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue stepped back, making room for Xie Xie. Xie Xie froze on the spot and stared at them in bewilderment. He was an Agility Attack System Soul Master. Were they really expecting him to charge in first?

Seeing Xie Xie's dazed expression, Tang Wulin gently patted his shoulder. "All right! Don't worry. We'll go together."

Then he turned to Yun Qianyue and smiled. "Martial aunt Qian Yue, just watch us this time! We definitely won't let you down."

Yun Qianyue looked at Tang Wulin, brimming with confidence, and smiled. "All right. I'll be watching."

Yun Qianyue's radiant smile left Tang Wulin and Xie Xie momentarily dazed, but they quickly composed themselves and turned to face the Star Luo Team.

The six members of the Star Luo Team released their Martial Souls. Their Soul Rings all had the optimal configuration, and their Martial Souls were all high quality. Two of them even possessed the Evil Eye White Tiger and Hell Spirit Cat, the inherited Martial Souls of the Star Luo Imperial Family.

When the Star Luo Empire underwent its great migration back then, not every member of the imperial family left Douluo Continent. Quite a few had stayed behind in Star Luo City and put down roots.

Tang Wulin activated his Martial Soul. The moment his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul appeared before everyone, the spectators were astonished!

"Blue Silver Grass? How could someone have such a trash Martial Soul?"

Even Star Crown Douluo was taken aback, but she quickly realized something. "No... That's not right! To be chosen as a Substitute Shrek Seven Devils, and even as deputy captain, there's no way he could have what we consider a trash Martial Soul!"

"But his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul..." someone beside her said with a frown.

Star Crown Douluo reminded them, "Have you forgotten? The Sea God Tang San had Blue Silver Grass as his Martial Soul too! And the Tang Sect master of that generation, who turned the tide for the Tang Sect ten thousand years ago, Blue Silver Douluo Tang Ya, also had Blue Silver Grass!"

She watched Tang Wulin on the field, her gaze deep and thoughtful. "Could he be from the Tang Sect too?"

Na'er gripped the Silver Dragon Spear, and a powerful dragon's might spread out, filling everyone in the Soul Fighting Zone with an indescribable sense of oppression!

The expressions of everyone with beast-type Martial Souls grew grave. Even those with higher cultivation than Na'er felt an urge to bow their heads!

What powerful dragon's might!

Was this a top-tier dragon-type Martial Soul? But why was it a weapon-type Martial Soul?

Everyone was baffled.

Yet the oppressive force from the Silver Dragon Spear alone made the six members of the Star Luo Team instinctively hunch lower.

"No wonder they dared to challenge Soul Kings at their cultivation level! They've got some tricks up their sleeves! Everyone, be careful. Their Martial Souls may all be powerful! We can't underestimate that Blue Silver Grass either!" the Star Luo Team captain immediately warned his teammates behind him.

The fight was about to begin. Tang Wulin and Xie Xie were the first to attack the Star Luo Team.

Xu Xiaoyan's Starry Sky Control had already taken effect on the opponents. Feeling the powerful astral energy in Xu Xiaoyan's Martial Soul, Star Crown Douluo's eyes lit up. "A fine Martial Soul! This kind of starry sky power is every bit as strong as my own Martial Soul!"

Led by their captain, the Star Luo Team charged toward them as well.

Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue stood behind Xu Xiaoyan, watching the battle.

Although Tang Wulin and Xie Xie had the advantage in Martial Soul quality, their cultivation still limited their performance. Even with Xu Xiaoyan and Na'er's help, they struggled against the Star Luo Team and were even pushed onto the back foot.

The spectators in the Soul Fighting Zone shouted the Star Luo Team's name, cheering them on.

Xu Xiaoyan looked stern. She poured all her strength into controlling the battlefield, not daring to relax for a moment. When the opposing Agility Attack System Soul Master spotted Xu Xiaoyan at the rear, he immediately circled around the fight and charged toward her.

The youngest among them were the Twins and Xu Xiaoyan. The Agility Attack System Soul Master naturally assumed the three of them had the weakest cultivation, especially since the Twins had yet to make a move.

Seeing the Agility Attack System Soul Master charge over, Tang Wulin and the others couldn't break away.

"Xiaoyan, watch out!"

When the Agility Attack System Soul Master reached the three of them, already grinning with satisfaction, he realized that neither the Twins nor Xu Xiaoyan had changed their expressions. Not a trace of panic showed on their faces.

Wait! Something was wrong!
