First Battle Against Shrek
Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and Liu Erlong, who were sitting in the rest area, all frowned slightly when they saw Tailong being supported by Tang San and Dai Mubai.
"Little San, what's going on?" Liu Erlong, who had the most fiery temper, asked directly.
"Teacher Erlong, the people from the Blazing Gloom Academy mocked us as toads. Tailong couldn't stand it and went to argue with them, but he got beaten up like this by the captain of the Blazing Gloom Academy." Tang San said softly, looking at the unconscious Tailong.
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun nodded in agreement.
"Blazing Gloom Academy? Isn't that an obscure academy Heaven Dou City? Even if it has a few talented students, you shouldn't have been too late to rescue Tailong." Flender raised an eyebrow and asked with some surprise.
"It was too late. The Blazing Gloom Academy is very strong. Their captain Jun Xuehan, didn't even activate his Martial Soul, yet he instantly killed Tailong." Tang San shook his head slightly and said.
"Jun Xuehan! No wonder." Flender looked in the direction of the Blazing Gloom Academy and asked softly, "How strong is Jun Xuehan now? Are there any other strong people in the Blazing Gloom Academy besides him?"
After carefully placing Tailong down, Tang San and Dai Mubai both turned their gazes toward the direction of the Blazing Gloom Academy.
"I don't know Jun Xuehan's strength, but besides him, there are two other Soul Ancestor above level 40 in the Blazing Gloom Academy, and Zhu Qing is also in the Blazing Gloom Academy." Tang San said softly, but his voice was relaxed.
"Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul Quality isn't very high, and her talent isn't great either. She's probably only a Soul Elder in her thirties right now. If she hadn't left back then, with the Immortal Grass that Little San brought back, Zhu Zhuqing would at least be Soul Ancestor in her forties, just like me and Fatty." Dai Mubai looked in the direction of the Blazing Gloom Academy, sneered, and said with a sarcastic tone.
"Everyone has their own ambitions, and we can't force them. What you need to do now is focus on the competition. Tailong, as a substitute, should rest well." Yu Xiaogang said calmly, his hands behind his back.
Upon hearing this, the group nodded slightly and waited quietly for the competition to begin.
Finally, after all the participating colleges had entered the rest area, the students from each college sat down and waited for the competition to begin.
In the rest area of the Blazing Gloom Academy, Jun Xuehan sat leisurely with a cup of tea, looking around at her surroundings.
The Soul Arena they were in was the largest in the Heaven Dou Empire, capable of accommodating 80,000 spectators simultaneously. The entire arena was decorated in silver tones, giving it a luxurious and grand feel.
On the VIP platform in front of Jun Xuehan, several familiar faces were seated. Seated in the main seat was Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire. To his left and right sat Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, and the Platinum Bishop Salas of the Spirit Hall Holy Temple.
As Xue Ye announced the opening of the competition, Ning Fengzhi a speech, and then Platinum Bishop Salas walked to the Master of Ceremonies of ceremonies to draw lots to determine the order of participation for each academy.
"First round of the Preliminary Tournament: Blazing Gloom Academy vs. Shrek Academy."
"First round of the Preliminary Tournament: Blue Sunshine Academy vs. Purple Star Academy."
"First round of the Preliminary Tournament: Oakland Academy vs. Flame Radiance Academy."
Upon hearing the information about the academy's matchup, Tang Lingling's face lit up with excitement. Looking at the calm Jun Xuehan, she said excitedly, "Captain, let me play in the first match!"
Jun Xuehan slowly put down her teacup, glanced at Tang Lingling, gently shook her head, and refused, "I will go myself."
Upon hearing this, Tang Lingling's face fell instantly. She squatted down, pulling at her hair with her hands, looking distressed.
Zong Ming gently comforted her, "It's the first match of this competition, Ling Ling, why are you in such a hurry? We'll definitely be able to play later. You agree, right, Captain?"
As he spoke, Zong Ming looked at Jun Xuehan as if he were asking her Jun Xuehan.
"Yes, you'll get to play later," Jun Xuehan nodded slightly, speaking casually.
"Okay, okay." Tang Lingling stood up from the ground, picked up a glass of juice with a bit of boredom, and took a big gulp.
Zong Ming watched as juice dripped from Tang Lingling's lips and her fair neck was revealed when she looked up, and murmured softly, "This juice... is so white."
Zhu Zhuqing asked softly from the side, "Zong Ming, what is Zhenbai?"
Upon hearing this, he cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, I meant the background of the Soul Arena is really white."
Jun Xuehan glanced in the direction of Shrek, then closed her eyes and began to meditate.
Jun Xuehan knew without even thinking what had happened Soul Arena that the big oaf had been used as a pawn.
As for who was used as a pawn, there's no need to even think about it. Those who had grudges against Jun Xuehan were Tang San and others.
Soon, the time for the match arrived. As the Master of Ceremonies announced the entry of the two teams, Jun Xuehan opened her eyes and walked straight to the Soul Dueling Stage below.
In the rest area of the Shrek Academy, Tang San watched Jun Xuehan walk straight onto the stage, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.
"Little San, I'll take this round." Dai Mubai looked at Jun Xuehan, his eyes instantly burning with rage, and his hands clenched tightly.
Tang San reached out to stop Dai Mubai, saying, "Don't rush, let's wait a bit. Among the people in the Blazing Gloom Academy, the only one who can be considered troublesome is Jun Xuehan. Let's have the weaker people wear down his physical strength and Soul Power first, and then you guys can go in. I'll be the last line of defense."
"This match is one-on-one, with seven people on each side. As long as we wear down Jun Xuehan, the remaining people from the Blazing Gloom Academy will be easy to deal with."
Dai Mubai said thoughtfully, "Little San, do you mean we should use Attrition Warfare?"
Tang San nodded slightly and said, "That's right, we'll fight him in Attrition Warfare! Huang Yuan, you go first. Remember to focus on stalling and try to deplete his stamina and Soul Power as much as possible."
Upon hearing this, a burly young man stood up from the rest area, nodded slightly to Tang San, and said, "So, the main strategy is to stall? Then I can only try my best to stall, but how long I can stall is uncertain. After all, my strength is not as good as Tailong's."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Yuan walked straight out of the rest area and headed towards the Soul Dueling Stage.
His Martial Soul is: Lone Wolf, and his Soul Power is level 34 Soul Elder. He is an Assault System Battle Soul Master.
