Slacking Off Against a Soul King

The next day's matches began, and Shrek Academy was once again the first academy to take the field.

In the resting area, the Shrek team waited to learn what format their match against Righteous Heaven Academy would take.

Wang Yan in particular had made countless arrangements based on a team battle the day before. After all, a team battle was the only format in which they had any chance of fighting back.

"No!"

Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and several others spoke almost at the same
