"It seemed Shrek had really run into trouble..."
Below the stage, Elder Ma slowly spoke.
"In that case, let me see what this reserve team can do. If they get eliminated in the first match, that would be quite the joke."
As all the members of both teams stepped onto the stage, Soul Guide pillars around the arena lit up one after another, and an enormous barrier enveloped the entire platform.
At the referee's command, the highly anticipated first match officially began.
And right from the start, Shrek's performance instantly caused another uproar across the plaza.
Red, red, red, red, red, red.
Six blood-red hundred-thousand-year soul rings suddenly lit up around the young boy standing at the very front of the team!
At the same time, a terrifying aura like that of a primordial beast erupted from his body!
Before the members of Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy could react,
one of the boy's six blood-red soul rings suddenly shone brilliantly.
At the same time, a pair of enormous blue-gold wings unfurled from behind him in a blaze of dazzling light.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black.
Six soul rings in the optimal configuration appeared around the other young boy behind him.
The next moment, the blood-red soul rings and blue-gold wings all vanished, and a giant golden vertical eye appeared in the arena.
Brilliant blue, purple, and gold light erupted from the vertical eye. In almost an instant, it crossed half the arena and struck the seven Tianling Academy team members opposite them.
When the tricolored blaze gradually faded, two of the opposing three-ring Soul Masters had already collapsed unconscious.
The remaining five had all been dyed gold, their auras no different from ordinary people's. They had clearly lost their ability to fight as well.
"The match is over."
