Shrek's reputation, the dark horse Dragon God Team
Xu Jiawei had already led his civil and military officials to their seats, looking forward to the first elimination round.
Then the loud voice rang out again. "The first round will be a knockout tournament. There are a total of 133 participating teams, with one team receiving a bye."
"Next, please welcome the team from the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy of the Dou Ling Empire!"
"Their opponents are the Shrek Academy Team, the number one academy on the continent, with countless honors and having won almost every major championship in the past Thousand-Year!"
As the host finished speaking, the entire venue erupted in cheers.
"Shrek, Shrek, Shrek..."
As the top academy on the continent, Shrek Academy has an extremely prestigious reputation, and even ordinary people are well aware of its name.
In terms of reputation, Shrek Academy surpasses all other powers.
"With such a resounding reputation, the Dragon God Hall's fame will surely grow even stronger by stepping on them to rise to power." Gu Yunxiao watched this scene with great interest.
The greater Shrek Academy's reputation, the more beneficial it will be for him.
The Dragon God Hall now only needs one chance to make a name for itself.
The Soul Fighting Tournament is the perfect opportunity!
"Please bring your teams to the stage!" The referee from the Star Luo Empire was in position in the center of the Competition Platform, signaling for both Team to come forward.
The team representing Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy was tense and filled with anxiety.
They also felt incredibly unlucky, having to face the championship favorites Shrek Academy Team, in their very first match.
This Soul Fighting Tournament can end early.
"Hey, where are the Shrek Academy's regular team members? Why are only reserve team members coming up?" a student noticed the problem.
The other members of the Tianling Team immediately turned their attention to it, all looking surprised.
Not only them, but even the spectators were bewildered, unable to figure out what Shrek Academy was planning to do.
This is an elimination round; one wrong move and you'll be eliminated from the competition!
Is Shrek Academy preparing to train raw recruits?
The referee was also puzzled, but he didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he said, "First round, elimination round, team battle!"
Both sides can use most Soul Tool. Once one side voluntarily concedes defeat, the other side can no longer continue the attack.
"In addition, Soul Engineer cannot use high-destructive equipment such as fixed-position Soul Tool."
"Did you all understand?"
"Understood!" x2
Bei Bei and the captain of the Tianling Team responded in unison.
The referee nodded and continued, "Both sides step back and wait for my command to begin the match. No one may make a move before I announce it; otherwise, they will be declared the loser!"
The two sides widened the distance between themselves and subtly changed their formations as they retreated.
At the same time, the Soul Tool Shield on the Competition Platform were also deployed to ensure that the Soul Skill used by both sides would not accidentally injure civilians during the match.
"The match begins!"
The referee gave the whistle and then disappeared.
In an instant, both sides Martial Soul Possession and revealed their Soul Ring almost simultaneously.
In the Shrek Team, Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi are Four-Ring Soul Ancestor, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Lan Susu, and Lan Luoluo are three-ring Soul Elder, He Caitou is Level 4 Soul Engineer.
Although this team's cultivation level is not as high as that of Ma Xiaotao and the other seven members of the main team, they are already very powerful compared to other Soul Master Academy.
In the main team of the Tianling Team, only five people are at the fourth ring cultivation level, while the other two are only at the third ring.
At first glance, the two sides seem to be evenly matched.
"Boom..."
Led by Bei Bei, the Shrek Academy Team took the initiative.
Bei Bei and Dai Huabin led the attack, Xu Sanshi was responsible for protecting Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, Zhu Lu looked for opportunities on the flanks, He Caitou provided support from a distance.
Their mediocre teamwork, coupled with their affiliation with the Shrek Academy, greatly diminished the confidence of the Tianling Team.
For a time, the Tianling Team was forced into a series of defeats by the Shrek Team.
"Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, huh? It seems Mu En did help stabilize his bloodline before he died."
Watching this scene from Competition Platform, Gu Yunxiao remained calm, showing little surprise.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was decent, but in his opinion, it was just so-so. After all, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon had an average bloodline, and without undergoing a beneficial mutation, it didn't really have anything remarkable about it.
"Is this Bei Bei's secret?" Tang Ya looked at Bei Bei's changes with some surprise, but quickly returned to normal.
"I didn't expect Shrek Academy's reserve team to consist of just these few. It seems there really is no one else left," Jiang Nannan said softly.
"Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Lan Susu, and Lan Luoluo were probably chosen because of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
Gu Yunxiao said.
Although the Hell White Tiger and the Heavenly Net differ in strength, they are ultimately Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and their power is not comparable to that of ordinary Soul Skill.
Shrek Academy's selection of these four individuals is quite reasonable.
"They're close to winning."
Gu Yunxiao, observing the battle on the Competition Platform, already knew the outcome.
The captain of the Tianling Team was no match for Bei Bei. Even though he was several levels higher, it was useless. He was beaten so badly by Bei Bei that he could hardly speak.
As for the others, they had no way to resist.
The Shrek Team easily defeated the Tianling Team without even using their Hell White Tiger and Heavenly Net Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
Wang Yan below breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on his face.
Getting past the first hurdle is a good start.
"Shrek Team wins the first knockout match!"
The referee came off the field to announce the result of the match.
As his voice faded, cheers erupted once again, applauding the seven members of Bei Bei group.
It was unexpected that Shrek Team could defeat Tianling Team's main team so easily.
"The second match of the elimination rounds features the Dragon God Academy from the Heavenly Soul Empire against the Cloud Sea Team from the Star Luo Empire!"
As the audience cheered, the referee's voice fell again.
Many ordinary people were simply surprised, but the Soul Master and the various Team were on high alert, their eyes glued to the Competition Platform.
All the Team were familiar with the ' Dragon God Team,' knowing that this Team was backed by the Dragon God Hall and was a dark horse in this Soul Fighting Tournament.
They are very concerned about the performance of the Dragon God Team.
"Nannan, it's your turn."
Gu Yunxiao remained seated, showing no intention of getting up.
"Mm." Jiang Nannan nodded with a smile, then looked at Xiao Xiao and the other six, and said, "Let's go, don't let Yunxiao down."
"Good!"
The six women responded, all showing some excitement.
Led by Jiang Nannan, this Team, composed entirely of women, all of whom were quite beautiful, stepped onto the Competition Platform.
Everyone was both surprised and curious to see this.
These seven women look to be about the same age as the seven reserve members of the Shrek Team from earlier. Can they really pull this off?
"Gu Yunxiao isn't playing?"
Seeing Gu Yunxiao sitting in the rest area, those who knew him frowned.
Compared to Jiang Nannan and her group of seven, they were more concerned about Gu Yunxiao's strength.
The Dragon God Team appears to have only eight members, but in reality, it consists of only one person: Gu Yunxiao.
