The cheers from the stands were far from enthusiastic. More than anything, the audience was bewildered and confused.
The fight on the arena was simply too bizarre.
"Dead fatty! Left side!" Dai Mubai roared, activating White Tiger Vajra Transformation as he tried to charge through the smoke ahead.
However, what rolled out of the smoke to greet him was not a soul skill, but a fist-sized black iron ball.
"Watch out, grenade!"
A teasing voice rang out from within the smoke.
Buzz—!
There was no explosion. Instead, an intensely blinding white light erupted in an instant.

"Ah! My eyes!"
Dai Mubai screamed, clutching his eyes as he staggered back in agony. As a traditional battle Soul Elder from ten thousand years ago, how could he possibly have seen such an unscrupulous "chemical weapon"?
At the instant he lost his vision—
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several red beams shot out of the smoke, striking Dai Mubai's knees, shoulders, and other non-vital areas with precision.
The damage was not severe, only burns, but the unceasing stabbing pain and the humiliation of being toyed with drove Dai Mubai nearly mad.
On the other side, Ma Hongjun had it even worse.
Just as he was about to breathe fire, a "cryogenic liquid nitrogen bottle" thrown by Ju Zi smashed at his feet. Before his evil fire could emerge, it was frozen into icy fragments.
"Is this Shrek's strongest fighting force?"
The smoke dispersed.
Xiao Hongchen held an exaggeratedly designed "Soul Tool ray gun"—an iron tube with a crystal core attached—and boredly blew at its muzzle.
"They can't even get close. What... disappointing primitives."
