Despite a few setbacks, Shrek Academy made it through the Preliminary Tournament.
Only five teams could advance: Godwind Academy, Seven Treasure Academy, Spirit Hall Academy Second Team, Thunder Academy, and Shrek Academy.
Blazing Fire Academy had rotten luck. They faced all five qualifying teams. Feng Xiaotian had planned to surrender to the Blazing Fire Team—there was no fun in beating up his girlfriend, and he might have to kneel on a washboard when he got home.
But before he could surrender, Huo Wu did it first. She had no intention of exploiting her boyfriend's feelings to win.
Besides, Godwind Academy had already fought Blazing Fire Academy once, and Feng Xiaotian had crushed them single-handedly.
Rather than fight her boyfriend and hurt their performance in later matches, she chose to surrender.
When Shrek Academy's turn came, Tang San no longer had fire-immune Blue Silver Grass. But with Xiao Wu's Invincible Golden Body, Shrek took Huo Wu's Blazing Sun head-on.
Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng then unleashed White Tiger Meteor Shower and Blue Lightning Meteor Shower together, finally defeating Blazing Fire Academy.
Tang San also escaped Shi Nian's ambush this time. Impressive as Tang San had been, Shrek Academy had the Tyrant Douluo, Toji Fushiguro, behind it, and Yu Tianheng was one of the heirs to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Shi Nian simply lacked the nerve to attack Shrek.
But not attacking them didn't mean he would stay out of trouble.
While Shi Nian was ambushing a genius from another academy, Toji "happened to pass by." Shi Nian was so frightened he dropped to his knees and begged for mercy. Kind soul that Toji was, he said, "Give me your Head Soul Bone, and I'll let you go."
Shi Nian: "...?"
