The Second Team Wins with Outside Help, Ultimate Metal Makes Brother Xiao Change His Tune, and the Old Dorm Supervisor

"Boohoo... I was such a fool, truly. I thought everyone on the Sun Moon Team was a homegrown genius. I never imagined you could bring in outside help."

Deming Class, practical combat zone, Soul Fighting Arena.

Mi Jia, Lin Xi, Chen Fei, Chen An, Xiao Xiafeng, and an otherwise unremarkable Level 5 Soul Engineer-the six starting members of the Sun Moon Team-lay sprawled on the ground in various positions. Some had been frozen into ice sculptures, some blasted away, some flung aside through sheer hand-to-hand combat, and some poisoned...

The starting captain, Ma Rulong, a Soul Emperor who had become a Level 7 Soul Engineer at a young age, was surrounded by five powerful opponents above and below. Seeing no hope of breaking through, he began tearfully lamenting the injustice of the world.

He looked around at Ye Guyi in the sky, Yu Tianjun in front, and the Hongchen siblings on either side, before finally looking at Ling Luochеn behind him, his face full of doubt about life itself.

"I won't even ask about the other two juniors. But you, Miss Ling-you're a prospective member of the Shrek Seven Devils who should be fighting for the Shrek Academy Team and battling us until heaven and earth turn upside down. Why are you here?"

"Couldn't you even wait until the tournament in Star Luo City? You had to beat us up here in Mingdu?"

"I heard the academy's funding shot up last year. Was it used to bring you here?"

Ling Luochеn's eyes were frosty blue as she said evenly, "There's no need to elaborate on personal reasons. In short, Shrek showed us no benevolence, so they can't blame us for showing no loyalty."

Yu Tianjun shrugged. "Captain Ma, you've already used more than half your soul power. Why not surrender?"
