Everyone, Stand Back. We're About to Show Off.

[Tsk! Just as I expected, these reserve team members of Shrek are incapable of truly being of one mind.]

Even in the original story, it was thanks to my mediation that the Shrek Reserve Team team members developed a friendly relationship and eventually all joined the Tang Sect.

[But now that I'm gone, Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao have left Shrek, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, and Ning Tian have taken our place. Ning Tian and Zhu Lu are alright, but Dai Huabin, who hasn't been thoroughly defeated by me, is even more arrogant and conceited than in the original story. Not to mention, his kidneys have been ripped out by the Death God Envoy, and his mind is gradually becoming twisted. How could he possibly listen to Bei Bei's words?]

However, the fact that such a major conflict erupted right from the start suggests I overestimated their abilities. Are they planning to put on a show of infighting before the Soul Master Competition even begins?

Ning Tian, standing on the competition stage, strongly agreed with the contents of Huo Yuhao's diary. However, she had already made up her mind to withdraw from the Shrek Academy after this Soul Master Competition, so she naturally wouldn't get involved in this kind of thing.

Whether Bei Bei and Dai Huabin are fighting amongst themselves or something else, let them be. I'll just stay in the back and use the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to support them. Anyway, with the Invincible Barrier, I can't possibly get hurt.

If we really encounter danger, we can just give up immediately.

After all, the Star Luo Empire appointed Titled Douluo as referees precisely to prevent any accidents from happening.

After sensing the strange looks from those around them, Bei Bei and Dai Huabin exchanged a glance and snorted coldly at the same time. Neither of them continued their infighting, determined to vent their anger on their opponents who were about to engage in battle.

Normally, Bei Bei would never act so impulsively, but after suffering so many setbacks, Bei Bei's emotions have become very unstable. With Dai Huabin provoking him like this, he naturally wants to vent his frustration.

Huang Jinxu, who held the title of Sky Fiend Douluo, also gave Bei Bei and Dai Huabin a strange look before straightening up and speaking in a deep voice.

"The match begins!"

Upon hearing this, Bei Bei and Dai Huabin exchanged a glance, and almost simultaneously, they both unleashed their Martial Soul.

Two yellow and two purple Soul Ring rose from beneath their feet, circling around their bodies. Without the slightest hesitation, the two stomped their feet hard and, using this power, charged towards the contestants from the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy opposite them.

Seeing this, Ning Tian did not stand idly by. He immediately released his Martial Soul Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and the auxiliary buffs of the three Soul Ring (two yellow and one purple) instantly fell on Bei Bei and Dai Huabin.

The speed from the First Soul Ring and the power from the Third Soul Ring greatly enhanced both Bei Bei's and Dai Huabin's speed and strength.

The Second Soul Ring was released on her own body, making it impossible for anyone to interrupt her spellcasting.

With the assistance of Ning Tian's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, before the two Soul Master at the front could even react, Bei Bei and Dai Huabin had already appeared in front of them.

In an instant, the Third Soul Ring on Bei Bei and Dai Huabin shone brightly, and they respectively used Thunder Fury and White Tiger Vajra Transformation, which greatly enhanced their power once again.

"Bang!"

With two muffled thuds sounding simultaneously, the two unfortunate members of the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy were blasted away by the terrifying force, tumbling and flying out of the arena before crashing heavily to the ground.

"Whoa whoa whoa!!!"

After a brief silence, the surrounding audience erupted in what could only be described as frenzied shouts and cheers.

Especially those fanatical followers of the Shrek Academy, when they heard Shrek's regular members being mocked for not being able to defeat a Soul King Evil Soul Master, they couldn't find any reason to refute the other party.

Seeing Bei Bei and Dai Huabin instantly defeat their opponents is, of course, very gratifying.

The other members of the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy on the field also reacted. Seeing that their two companions who had been knocked to the ground were seriously injured, they immediately attacked in anger and engaged in a fierce battle with Bei Bei and Dai Huabin.

After seeing this, Xu Sanshi hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Jiang Nannan and whispered.

"Nannan, you stay here to protect He Caitou and Ning Tian. I'll go help Bei Bei take care of the opponent. Once He Caitou's Soul Tool is assembled, we'll have secured the victory in this match."

As He Caitou began assembling the Soul Cannon and gradually transformed into a humanoid fortress, Xu Sanshi could vaguely sense just how much destructive power this guy could unleash.

The highest-ranking members of the opposing Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy are only Soul Ancestor. Once He Caitou completes his assembly, the outcome of this match will be a foregone conclusion.

If possible, Xu Sanshi certainly wouldn't want his goddess Jiang Nannan to take any risks.

However, Jiang Nannan seemed not to hear Xu Sanshi's good intentions, and without even glancing at him, she directly joined Zhu Lu in the battle.

They engaged in battle against Bei Bei, Dai Huabin, and the participants from the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy.

Xu Sanshi's face flushed slightly as he held back his anger. His anger only lasted for a moment before he realized that Jiang Nannan didn't want him to face the other party's attack and that she was thinking of him!

Thinking of this, Xu Sanshi immediately calmed down.

Xu Sanshi stared intently at Jiang Nannan, ready to use his Fourth Soul Ring, Jiang Nannan Profound Netherworld Shift, to switch places with her and protect her should she encounter any danger.

Watching the match from below, Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but sneer.

"That's it? Yuhao, I really can't understand it anymore. What gives these guys the audacity to talk tough to us like that!"

Although communicating with Huo Yuhao would require going through several girls, Xiao Hongchen preferred the trouble to complaining to Ma Rulong, who was nearby.

In response to Xiao Hongchen's mockery, Huo Yuhao smiled and replied.

"It's probably because they think our strength is about the same as theirs, or even inferior to theirs."

Xiao Hongchen pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up as if he had just thought of something.

"I'm saying, how about when it's our turn later, we only send out the two of us? Compared to how hard Shrek struggled to win, if we just send out two kids our age and easily take down our opponents, they'll lose face, right?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao blinked and shrugged nonchalantly.

"I have no objection; it's up to the others."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena and Snow Empress spoke almost simultaneously, "I have no objection."

These unanimous words caused Gu Yuena and Snow Empress to exchange a glance. Looking at Gu Yuena's aloof appearance, Snow Empress's eyes became somewhat strange.

'So, is Gu Yuena preparing for a complete change, no longer being as cold as before?'

After Gu Yuena and Snow Empress agreed, the others followed suit, and even Ma Rulong, the team leader, nodded in agreement after a moment's hesitation.

However, Ma Rulong still looked at Xiao Hongchen with a serious expression and said in a deep voice.

"Xiao Hongchen, we absolutely cannot let our guard down during the competition! Let's not end up not only failing to humiliate Shrek Academy, but also making ourselves a laughingstock!"

Ma Rulong wasn't worried about Huo Yuhao, but he just couldn't stand Xiao Hongchen, that eccentric guy.

Xiao Hongchen smiled and said that he and Yuhao could rest assured that they were not as useless as those guys from Shrek!

While they were exchanging ideas, He Caitou had finished assembling his Soul Tool, did not hesitate to fire. Seeing that the people from the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy had completely lost the initiative, Sky Fiend Douluo intervened and blocked the cannonball, declaring Shrek the winner of the match.

Amid cheers from the audience, the Shrek team slowly descended the stage like heroes.

The participants in the second round were from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy.

Upon hearing the host's announcement, Xiao Hongchen eagerly pulled Huo Yuhao onto the stage.

Sky Fiend Douluo frowned as he looked at the two of them and asked in a deep voice.

"This match is an elimination team battle. Is Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy sure they're only sending the two of you?"

Faced with Sky Fiend Douluo's question, Xiao Hongchen grinned, raised his thumb and swept it across himself and Huo Yuhao, and said loudly.

"We are not like some useless people who have no strength but still talk big and make threats!"

"The two of us will take on seven of them!"
