The Phoenix Burns the Vines

On the sixth day of the Promotion Tournament, Shrek faced Plant Academy.

Before the match, Grandmaster brought out their opponents' information and made a point of warning them twice.

"Plant Academy has many Control System Soul Masters. They excel at wearing opponents down. In a relay match, one Control System fighter at full strength can exhaust several opponents."

Tai Long thumped his chest. "Leave it to me."

Fifteen minutes later, vines had wrapped him up like a rice dumpling.

Plant Academy's first fighter was only level thirty-eight, but the reach of his Red Flame Thorn Martial Soul was astonishing. Tai Long had the advantage in strength, yet every time he tore through the vines, another layer sprang from the ground. By the time he reached his opponent, he had spent most of his Soul Power, and two more vines locked around his knees.

He held out for dozens of breaths before he was finally thrown from the arena.

Jing Ling went up second.

His Skeleton Martial Soul was agile enough to skirt the sea of vines ahead, but the Plant Academy fighter had already scattered seeds across the arena. The vines grew toward fluctuations in Soul Power. Jing Ling had barely slipped behind his opponent when scarlet thorns burst from his shadow.

The second fighter fell.

Huang Yuan entered third.

His Lone Wolf Martial Soul combined speed and strength, and he managed to close in twice, but his opponent drove him back both times with his Third Soul Skill. The Plant Academy fighter had won three bouts in a row, and his face had gone pale. Yet vines kept piling up across the arena until there was almost nowhere to stand.

The Shrek rest area fell quiet.

Ma Hongjun rubbed his nose.

"Didn't Grandmaster say something about this?"

"Twice," Oscar
