Battle Against the Shrek Seven Devils

There were twelve High-Class VIP Rooms and three hundred and twenty Standard VIP Rooms in the Central Main Soul Arena. These rooms were almost never vacant. The High-Class VIP Rooms all had their own owners, while the Standard VIP Rooms did not have a single idle day either.

The Central Main Soul Arena was exceptionally lively today.

Because it was Skywater Academy's hundredth team Soul Battle match.

Once they won this hundredth team battle, Skywater Academy would go down in history and become the most dazzling academy on the entire continent.

This was unprecedented.

Since the Suotuo City Great Soul Arena had been established, the highest winning streak had only been fifty-eight matches.

Although Skywater Academy's Skywater Team had already broken that record, this hundredth match was the hottest event of all.

Everyone wanted to witness the birth of this record.

Especially the nobles and wealthy tycoons, who had all placed their bets on Skywater Academy's Skywater Team.

Some had even made direct wagers against one another.

Some believed Skywater Academy could not break the record, while others believed the academy was so strong that even a thousand consecutive victories would not be a problem.

Of course, even more people believed that at this most crucial moment, the Great Soul Arena would not allow them to break the record.

After all, if the Skywater Team broke the record, the Great Soul Arena would have to pay out a huge sum in gold coins.

Suddenly, the already brilliant golden lights in the Central Main Soul Arena grew even brighter.

All the light no longer shone in every direction, instead converging upon the Soul Battle Stage at the center of the Central Main Soul Arena.

At the very center of the Soul Battle Stage, a circular platform two meters in diameter suddenly rose from the ground and slowly ascended.

Once it reached a certain height, everyone could see a curvaceous young woman leaning against the golden pillar.

She appeared to be only eighteen or nineteen. She wore a graceful white gown, her long brown hair falling in large waves. She held a Soul Tool resembling a megaphone, and wore a professional smile on her face.

"It is an honor to see all of you distinguished guests again."

The young woman gave a deep bow toward the High-Class VIP Rooms before continuing, "It is my honor to once again host the Central Main Soul Arena's team Soul Battle tournament for all of you distinguished guests.

Today's competition will also bear witness to a historic moment.

I am sure everyone knows that Skywater Academy's Skywater Team has already achieved ninety-nine consecutive victories in the Soul Battle tournament. Today's match will be their hundredth.

Tonight, we have arranged a rookie team for Skywater Academy. This rookie team consists entirely of Soul Elders. Now, please welcome both teams onto the stage."

As both teams entered, the host announced the information on their captains.

"Skywater Team, Captain: Shui Binger, Level 39 Ice Phoenix."

"Shrek Seven Devils Team, Captain: Evil Eye White Tiger, Level 39 White Tiger."

When everyone heard that both captains were Level 39, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. Since their levels were the same, tonight's match would surely come down to actual strength.

But they had even greater faith in the Skywater Team. This was a team that had won ninety-nine matches in a row.

After the host stepped down, a door on each side of the Soul Battle Stage opened at the same time. The members of both teams entered simultaneously and walked toward the center of the stage.

The team entering from the right was the Skywater Team, with Captain Shui Binger at the front.

Today, she was radiant.

Her Soul Power Level had also risen by one, reaching Level 40.

However, since she had not updated her registration information and had yet to obtain a soul ring, everyone still assumed she was Level 39.

When Chen Ping'an, who had been tagging along with the team and coasting through matches, heard that they were facing the Shrek Seven Devils, he instantly perked up.

Heh heh heh~

He could beat Tang San up again.

The Shrek Seven Devils Team entered from the left, with Captain Dai Mubai leading the way.

Besides the original five remaining members,

Yu Xiaogang had spent a great deal of money to poach two Level 35 Soul Elders from other academies.

This greatly increased the overall strength of the Shrek Seven Devils.

One of them was Jing Ling, a Level 35 Agility Attack System Soul Venerable.

The other was Jiang Zhu, a Level 35 Healing System Soul Venerable.

"Skywater! Skywater!"

"Binger, I love you!"

"Yue'er, I love you!"

"Zhu Zhu, I love you!"

"..."

As Skywater Academy entered, the entire venue erupted in thunderous cheers, accompanied by applause that rang throughout the arena.

The cheers and applause lasted for a full two and a half minutes before gradually dying down.

Skywater Academy was simply too damn impressive. Their fame had long spread throughout Suotuo City, and even the two great empires had begun paying more or less attention to them.

Even Spirit Hall had no choice but to take them seriously.

Such a powerful team was enough to threaten their own teams.

Inside High-Class VIP Room Number One, Yu Xiaogang leisurely sipped tea.

Looking at the Shrek Seven Devils he had personally trained, he was extremely satisfied.

As long as they defeated the Skywater Team tonight, the name Yu Xiaogang would once again resound throughout the continent.

"Master, can your team truly defeat the Skywater Team, which has practically never lost a match?"

The nobleman in VIP Room Number One was somewhat worried. This time, he had bet a full one million Gold Soul Coins on the Shrek Seven Devils.

Mainly because he was Yu Xiaogang's biggest fan.

He had great faith in Yu Xiaogang, but he was also deeply worried.

"Trust me, there won't be a problem. This is a team I personally trained. They are all powerful Soul Elders. Even against Soul Ancestors, they have a chance of winning."

Yu Xiaogang was brimming with confidence because he had also wagered his entire fortune—thirty thousand Gold Soul Coins—on the Shrek Seven Devils.

As long as the Shrek Seven Devils won this match, he would receive a tenfold return.

That was three hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins!

The nobleman nodded. "I absolutely believe in you, Master!"

Although the nobleman said so, he still could not resist secretly having someone place a bet on the Skywater Team.

Though the Skywater Team's odds were 1:1.2, it was still better than nothing.

Meanwhile, Flender and Zhao Wuji, seated in the back, wore grim expressions.

Because they had seen Chen Ping'an take the stage as well, which meant that no matter how strong the Shrek Seven Devils were, they would not be able to win this match.

Then their thirty thousand Gold Soul Coins would go down the drain as well.

It hurt. It hurt so much!

"Old Zhao..."

After Flender whispered a few words into Zhao Wuji's ear, Zhao Wuji left the VIP Room.

"Soul Masters participating in the team Soul Battle, take note. You now have one minute to summon your martial souls. You may only attack once I announce the start. The match will continue until one side surrenders, all members fall, or a team leaves the Soul Battle Stage."

The moment the host finished speaking, everyone revealed their martial souls. Only Chen Ping'an did not activate his.

"I'll take the one in the middle. The rest are up to you."

Chen Ping'an was already rubbing his fists impatiently.
