Arc 2Ling Yun Takes Command
Ling Yun won leadership of the Blue Tyrant Academy team by exposing weaknesses in Tang San’s tactics and proving the team could coordinate under his direction. After a swift tournament victory over Heaven Dou Royal Academy’s second team, Shrek faced Elephant Armor Academy, where Huyan Li’s Soul Bone and an old man’s coaching shifted the match.
- Tang San revealed his Clear Sky Hammer, and Ling Yun challenged Yu Xiaogang’s different treatment of Tang San and his own unknown Martial Soul before accepting a team battle against all seven Shrek Seven Devils.
- Ling Yun defeated the Shrek Seven Devils by exploiting their formation and Tang San’s focus on Xiao Wu, then became captain and left Tang San out of his starting lineup.
- Ling Yun trained the team to coordinate without waiting for constant orders, while Tang San assembled a separate team to challenge him and used a paralyzing needle against Xiao Wu in their first match.
- Ling Yun intervened to knock away the needle, causing his team to forfeit the first match, then defeated Tang San’s team in their second match and secured control of the tournament lineup.
- Ling Yun selected himself and five Shrek students, along with Tai Long, Huang Yuan, and Jing Ling, for the opening tournament match against Heaven Dou Royal Academy’s second team.
- Ling Yun led Blue Tyrant Academy to victory in under thirty seconds by revealing his ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring and quickly eliminating the opposing team, prompting Salas to order an investigation into his background.
- Ling Yun agreed to let Tang San fight against Elephant Armor Academy, then helped Shrek break its tight formation by provoking Huyan Li into charging.
- Huyan Li used a Soul Bone to regain his balance and blast his attackers away, while Ling Yun noticed an old man coaching him from the VIP seats and challenged Elephant Armor Sect over the outside help.
