As the major teams departed, Shrek and the Spirit Hall Battle Team passed each other.
Luo San made a throat-slitting gesture at the Shrek Team, then left with his own team.
The Shrek Team was equally hostile toward the team that had once defeated them.
After the meeting,
Flender and Yu Xiaogang gathered the eight members of the Shrek Seven Monsters.
With a grave expression, Flender said, "Little monsters, I never expected us to encounter the strongest team in the very first round of the finals."
"This result has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that if we defeat the Spirit Hall Battle Team, the road to the championship will be smooth sailing. The disadvantage is that if we lose, our performance in this tournament ends here. Do you have confidence in defeating the Spirit Hall Battle Team?"
"We can win. We will win," Tang San said firmly.
"That's right, we can win," Xiao Wu said. "We still have a secret weapon."
Tang San froze. He looked at Xiao Wu in confusion and asked, "What secret weapon? How come I don't know about it?"
Xiao Wu said, "Brother A-San, it has to stay secret. You'll find out once we get on the arena."
Yu Xiaogang cleared his throat and said, "Let's confirm tomorrow's lineup. Tang San, Dai Mubai, Feng Xiaotian, Yu Tianheng, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Da Ming."
Bu Le said unhappily, "Master, I'm a level 49 Soul Ancestor, the highest-level member of our team. What do you mean by excluding me?"
Yu Xiaogang said stiffly, "Your Soul Power Level is indeed the highest, but think carefully—what use is that? Of Shrek's seven members, the White Tiger, Scabby Giant Lizard, Gale Two-Headed Demon Wolf, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and Azure Sky Bull Python are all top-tier Beast Martial Souls.
