The qualifying match has begun; Heaven Dou Royal Academy will face off against the Shrek Academy.
All eyes were on the field. The two teams had a long-standing feud, dating back to the qualifiers. Both wanted to win, making the game more tense than in previous matches.
Shen Yifeng was the first to step onto the stage, standing in the center with a calm expression, as if he were just there to go through the motions.
Dai Mubai leaped onto the stage, his White Tiger Martial Soul instantly activating. White Soul Power surged around him, his muscles bulging. He stared intently at Shen Yifeng, his tone filled with barely suppressed anger, "The score from before should be settled today. Don't think that just because you beat the other academies, you can easily beat Shrek."
He was burning with determination. Ever since they encountered this team, Shrek had never had a smooth run. Even Qin Ming and Zhao Wuji had fallen to them. Even though he knew the odds of winning were slim, he had to give it his all and not let Shrek Academy down.
At the referee's whistle, Dai Mubai launched the first attack.
His first Soul Skill, White Tiger Barrier, and his third Soul Skill White Tiger Vajra Transformation, lit up in succession. He let out a low roar, and his whole body transformed into a white light, rushing straight forward. His tiger claws, carrying a strong wind, grabbed at Shen Yifeng's face.
Shen Yifeng didn't move his feet. His second ability, Rock Skin, returned to his right arm, and he raised his hand to take the claw head-on.
After the sharp crack, Dai Mubai felt as if his claws were gripping steel, the vibrations making his knuckles numb.
His heart sank. Before he could change his move, Shen Yifeng's fingertips flashed with lightning, and he activated the Yellow Thunder Body, instantly Teleportation to his side.
The Flame Fist, enveloped in crimson flames, slammed into Dai Mubai's shoulder, its power amplified to the extreme.
Dai Mubai grunted and flew sideways, crashing heavily onto the stone slab beside the platform, raising a cloud of dust. He tried to stand up, but his shoulder ached terribly, and his Soul Power surged violently. He tried twice but couldn't get up.
The outcome was decided in no more than three moves.
The audience was completely silent; no one had expected Shrek's Power Attack System force to be defeated so quickly.
Shen Yifeng withdrew his Soul Power, glanced down at him, and said, "Is that all you've got?"
Dai Mubai gritted his teeth, his chest heaving violently, but finally slumped down, uttering three words in a hoarse voice. "I surrender."
Despite their resentment, the gap in strength was undeniable, and continuing to resist would only lead to further humiliation.
Shen Yifeng looked down at Dai Mubai, who was struggling to sit up, and said calmly, "I'll personally take you down."
As soon as he finished speaking, he kicked Dai Mubai, who was already exhausted of his Soul Power, was unable to stand steadily and fell off the stage. Ma Hongjun rushed forward to catch him, and the two of them took three or four steps back before regaining their balance.
Dai Mubai clutched his chest, coughed twice, and turned to his teammates behind him, saying in a deep voice, "You all need to be careful, he wasn't even using his full strength."
His heart was heavy with bitterness. He had thought he could hold out for dozens of rounds with all his might, but he couldn't even withstand three moves from his opponent. The gap between them was too glaring.
Soon, Ma Hongjun leaped onto the stage.
Possessed by the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, blazing flames soared into the sky as he strained to turn the tide.
But Shen Yifeng merely raised his hand, and crimson dragon flames surged forth from his fingertips, instantly overwhelming his phoenix fire.
In just three moves, Ma Hongjun was struck on the shoulder by a Flame Fist, sending him flying sideways off the stage and landing next to Dai Mubai, unable to get up for a long time.
Zhu Zhuqing then took the stage, using the speed of the Hell Spirit Cat to circle around the edge of the stage, looking for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack.
But Shen Yifeng's Thunder Body suddenly lit up with golden lightning, and he was even faster than her. He shot out lightning needles from his fingertips, and Zhu Zhuqing's body instantly stiffened. The next second, she was swept off the stage.
Oscar and Ning Rongrong took to the field one after the other. One was a food-type and the other a support-type. Neither of them had the ability to fight head-on. They were defeated one after the other before they could even use their full Soul Skill.
In just a short while, five of the seven Shrek members had been killed.
The audience was completely silent. Yu Xiaogang's face was ashen, his fingertips digging into his palms. Tang San stood in the waiting area, his hands hanging by his sides slowly tightening, the coldness in his eyes almost overflowing.
Shen Yifeng stood in the center of the stage, glanced at the two remaining people below, and said calmly, " Tang San, Xiao Wu, you two come up together. It'll save time if you come one by one."
Tang San and Xiao Wu exchanged a glance, both seeing seriousness in each other's eyes.
The opponent openly challenged two opponents to a duel, clearly showing contempt. However, they also knew that they were no match for either of them in a one-on-one fight.
Since the other party had brought it up, they decided to join forces and give it a try. The two leaped onto the stage, standing on either side of Shen Yifeng, sandwiching him between them.
At the referee's signal, Xiao Wu moved first, her figure flashing as she rushed to Shen Yifeng's side. She unleashed her soft techniques, Waist Bow to gather power, and her long legs swept towards her opponent's lower body with a gust of wind. She was extremely fast and her moves were tricky. She wanted to entangle her opponent and create an opportunity for Tang San, but Shen Yifeng simply sidestepped and casually grabbed her ankle.
Xiao Wu panicked and before she could break free, she felt a tremendous force and was slammed hard onto the table.
The stone slab shook so hard that her back went numb, and she couldn't get up for a long time.
" Xiao Wu!" Tang San's face darkened instantly. His Soul Bone unfolded, and his arms Bind in deadly poison. Using the momentum of his charge, he aimed straight for Shen Yifeng's back. His attack was swift and ruthless, clearly intending to take advantage of his opponent's unpreparedness.
Shen Yifeng didn't even turn his head. Rock Skin back suddenly hardened, and the Soul Bone only managed to create a few sparks on it, unable to break through the defense at all.
He swung his palm back, unleashing a surge of golden Soul Power that slammed heavily into Tang San's chest.
Tang San groaned, flew backward, and crashed against the edge of the stage, coughing up blood.
Tang San pushed himself up from the ground, his hand unconsciously reaching for his waist, where the Clear Sky Hammer was hidden.
Once it's revealed, it might not be without the ability to fight.
But Yu Xiaogang's repeated words of advice before the match echoed in his ears. His fingers tightened, then slowly withdrew. Revealing his hand too early would only put him at a disadvantage in the final.
He gritted his teeth, suppressing his surging Soul Power, his eyes filled with resentment and gloom.
Yu Xiaogang, sitting in the audience, felt a slight relief, but then frowned again. Judging from this momentum, even if Tang San held on until the end, he simply couldn't win.
Tang San gritted his teeth and straightened up, his Soul Power surging and making his chest feel tight. Before he could stand up, he heard a rapid whooshing sound in his ears. He looked up and saw Xiao Wu's figure hurtling straight towards him.
Shen Yifeng grabbed Xiao Wu with one hand and casually tossed her out like a little rabbit. The movement looked nonchalant, but the force was surprisingly strong.
Xiao Wu cried out in surprise, unable to use her soft skills at all, and flew backwards with the momentum, crashing right into Tang San.
Tang San was already injured, and the force of the impact caused him to lose his balance. The two of them were entangled together and fell straight off the stage.
"Watch out!" Flender shouted, his figure suddenly leaping out and spreading his Cat Owl wings to steadily support the two of them.
The impact was so strong that he staggered back three steps before regaining his balance, his boots leaving two deep marks on the ground.
Flender's heart sank; the force with which Shen Yifeng casually tossed him was even more terrifying than that of an ordinary Power Attack System Soul King.
