Shrek's Five Straight Wins

After Shrek defeated Elephant Armor Academy, their subsequent opponents began to modify their lineups overnight.

In the third round of the draw, Shrek encountered an academy from the western part of Heaven Dou. The opposing team leader argued in the lounge for half an hour, but in the end, he still sent all seven of his main players onto the field.

Yuan Yu will start as usual.

As the six God-given Spirit Ring rose, the Scepter in the hand of the opposing support-type Soul Master trembled. After the match began, the seven of them retreated quickly, preparing to use ranged Soul Skill to wear down the opponent and avoid direct confrontation as much as possible.

Tang San only used the Blue Silver Cage twice.

The first time, they forced out the opponent's flying Soul Skill; the second time, they sealed off the landing point. Yuan Yu used Wind Pattern to divide the seven people to both sides of the arena, and Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing led their teams to defeat them respectively. The entire match lasted less than two minutes, and Shrek won three consecutive victories.

After this match, the various academies changed their assessment of Shrek once again.

The first round's 23-second time limit makes it easy to only see the level, while the Elephant Armor Battle makes it easy to focus on Yuan Yu's Martial Soul changes. In the third round, without Spirit Bone and top-level Beast Martial Soul, Shrek still fought very steadily. Tang San controlled the situation twice before the opponent changed their formation. Dai Mubai was responsible for the front, while Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing flanked from behind. The substitutes' appearances did not disrupt the formation.

Several academy team leaders began to specifically record Tang San's hand gestures.

Tang San quickly discovered this. When he entered the arena in the fourth round, he deliberately gave two false commands in a row. As expected, the opponent's control-type Soul Master turned around in advance, and Yuan Yu released a wind wall from the other side, directly blocking them back to their original positions.

"Little sister, someone has already learned your gesture," Yuan Yu said after leaving.

"Change them all tonight."

They will write it down again tomorrow.

Tang San took out Tactical Manual: "Then let's change it every day. In a major competition, making the opponent spend more time guessing is also an advantage."

Qin Ming, who was listening nearby, took the Tactical Manual and checked it over. The signals designed by Tang San were not complicated; the difficulty lay in the fact that the team members had to remember the meaning of the changes every day. The training of the past three months had all come in handy at this moment.

In the fourth round, the opponent changed their roster before going on stage, leaving all their key players for the later points matches.

They intend to forfeit this match.

As soon as the Referee announced the release of the Martial Soul, the opposing captain raised his hand. "We concede."

Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Flame had just emerged when he heard this, and he almost burned his own hair.

"That's it?"

The opposing captain glanced at Yuan Yu, then at the black Spirit Ring that hadn't yet risen beneath Tang San's feet. "Save some Soul Power for the next round. The Preliminary Tournament are based on points; there's no need to have seven of your men lying around here."

He spoke very directly, and no one felt ashamed.

Shrek achieved a four-game winning streak with only five breaths remaining in the match.

Flender sat in the spectator area, calculated his appearance fee for the day, and said with a complicated expression, "Winning too quickly, the audience won't remember the academy."

Liu Erlong said, "You can go down and perform."

"I'm the Dean; this will have a bad influence."

"Then shut up and watch the game."

The opponents in the fifth round had three elemental Soul Master: one fire, one wind, and one water. Learning from the experience of the previous teams, they unleashed all their Soul Skill on Yuan Yu at the start, hoping to disrupt his multi-elemental Martial Soul with conflicting attributes.

Flames blocked the way from the front, water flowed along the ground and wrapped around their feet, and wind blades were hidden behind the water curtain.

Yuan Yu almost laughed.

"You dare to use water or fire on me?"

He didn't let Tang San make a move; six of the Nine-Slot Round Wheel on the back of the Sun Wheel Blade had already lit up.

The flames released by the opponent were first drawn by the Flame Pattern, circling around the blade. The water flow then fell into the Water Pattern, and the wind blades hidden behind were also changed direction by the Wind Pattern. The three Soul Skill circled around Yuan Yu for half a circle, and the collision between them had been sorted out by Myriad Phenomena Origin Embryo.

He swung the knife in a backhand motion.

The flames returned along the ground on the left, the water flowed to the right, and the wind blade passed between them. The three elemental Soul Master each regained their power, but were still forced back several steps by the shock of the Soul Power.

"You can give it back?" The Fire-Attribute Soul Master on the other side looked on in astonishment.

"What I borrowed from you, of course I have to return."

Lightning Flash beneath Yuan Yu's feet, and he had already passed between the three men. His scabbard struck their shoulders and wrists in succession, rendering the three elemental Soul Master incapacitated almost simultaneously.

The remaining four were separated by Tang San's Blue Silver Grass, Dai Mubai launched a frontal assault, and Xiao Wu and Jing Ling cut in from the side. Shrek ended the match within three minutes.

Inside the spectator area, Huo Wu watched Yuan Yu return the three Soul Skills, and her fighting spirit intensified.

"He can borrow elements from his opponent."

Huo Wushuang shook his head. "He only lent a small portion. Those three people were far below his level, and their Soul Skill lost control as soon as they entered the blade's range. If it were your Huo, you might not have been able to return them like that."

That's why we have to fight.

On the Godwind Academy side, Feng Xiaotian had already drawn the landing points of Yuan Yu's five Wind Pattern. Each time, the wind direction changed with the positions of his teammates, rarely pursuing damage on his own.

Shui Bing'er also closed the notebook. She had originally wanted to find a flaw when water and fire appeared simultaneously, but after watching it five times, the internal circulation of the Sun Wheel Blade became smoother and smoother.

The Elemental Academy was studying Yuan Yu, and Yuan Yu was watching them too. He memorized Huo Wu's Ring Fusion Burst, Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu's positioning, and Feng Xiaotian's movements as he practiced alone on the sidelines after each match.

There are still many matches left in the Preliminary Tournament. The two sides will meet sooner or later.

Five-game winning streak.

The battle left behind far more free-floating elements than in the previous rounds. After Yuan Yu returned to the spectator area, the Myriad Phenomena Origin Embryo was still slowly rotating within his body. The three forces of fire, water, and wind, filtered through the inner runes, gradually merged with his own Soul Power.

That evening, after finishing their training, the barrier to 67th Level was pushed open by this force.

67th Level.

When Yuan Yu opened his eyes, the Sun Wheel Blade was hanging in the center of the room, and the six bright lines on the Nine-Slot Round Wheel were clearer than after the battle with the Elephant Armor.

Soul Power fluctuations also began to emanate from the neighboring courtyard.

Xiao Wu was the first to reach level 40. When she ran out of the house, she was barefoot, and Tang San followed behind her, holding the shoe she had dropped.

"Slower."

"I've reached level 40!"

No sooner had Xiao Wu finished speaking than a burst of Phoenix Fire erupted from the other dormitory. Ma Hongjun, his hair singed, rushed out of his room, shouting, "I'm level 40 too!"

Oscar covered his nose. "Put the fire back down first, the Dean's door is on fire again."

Ning Rongrong's breakthrough was the quietest. When she walked out of the cultivation room, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was slowly rotating in her palm, and the light of the fourth layer of the pagoda had stabilized.

"I've arrived too."

Overnight, all three of them crossed the fortieth level threshold.

Flender summoned the teachers overnight, preparing to help them complete their fourth Spirit Ring during the rest day of the Preliminary Tournament. Tang San hadn't even had time to arrange the later matches when he encountered Canghui Academy in the contestant passage the next day.

The seven members of the Canghui blocked the middle of the passage, with the team leader standing at the very back. He looked to be around fifty years old, but his eyes were so bright that it was unsettling.

As Yuan Yu passed by him, the Rosy Cloud Pattern within the Sun Wheel Blade twitched slightly.

A wisp of Spiritual Power was sweeping through the gaps in the crowd.
