Seeing Shui Ruoling agree, Master and Flender exchanged smiles.
Tang San and the other Shrek Seven Devils standing nearby all looked supremely confident.
Tang San in particular could hardly contain himself.
"Today, I can finally wipe away my past humiliation!"
Tang San muttered to himself. He had trained day and night over the past two years precisely for this day.
At the same time, Dai Mubai clenched his fists tightly.
Thinking of how Shui Bing'er had brutally beaten him in Border City, fury surged through his heart.
Soon after, Shui Ruoling led the Shrek Academy group to the plaza.
"Dean!"
The Skywater Academy students all gathered around upon seeing her, while Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, Shui Yue'er, and the other seven members of the Skywater Team also approached.
"Bing'er, the Shrek Team has come today and wishes to spar with our Skywater Team."
Shui Ruoling glanced at Shui Bing'er as she spoke.
"Oh?"
Shui Bing'er and the others were all startled, turning their eyes toward Tang San's group in unison.
The moment she saw Dai Mubai and Tang San, Shui Yue'er involuntarily muttered:
"It's them!"
Although more than two years had passed, Shui Yue'er recognized Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Xiao Wu at once.
What had happened at the Rose Hotel in Border City was still vivid in her mind.
When Shui Bing'er saw them, her gaze settled on Dai Mubai as she said coolly:
"A defeated opponent dares challenge our Skywater Team?"
The moment those words fell, the fury in Dai Mubai's heart was instantly ignited. He glared back at Shui Bing'er with hatred and said:
"Back then, I was careless and fell for your trick. That was the only reason you defeated me."
"Today, I'll show you just how formidable I am!"
Hearing this, Shui Bing'er gave a cold laugh.
"Is that so? Then let's see how much you've improved over the past two years."
As she spoke, Shui Bing'er swept her gaze over Shui Yue'er and the others.
Receiving her look, Shui Yue'er and the others immediately formed up for battle.
The Skywater Academy students gathered around them also retreated one after another, clearing space.
"Little San, it's up to you. Don't disgrace our Shrek Academy!"
Master looked at Tang San.
"Don't worry, Teacher. We will win!"
The Shrek Seven Devils then assumed their own battle formation.
As a level-forty assault-type Battle Soul Master, Dai Mubai stood at the very front of the formation.
A sharp gleam flickered in his Evil Eye Four Pupils, and his entire bearing changed at once.
A crushing pressure, like that of a tiger descending the mountain, suddenly burst forth.
At the same time, Tang San and the others released their Martial Souls as well.
Seeing this, Shui Bing'er and the others did not hesitate either, releasing all their Martial Souls!
Boom!
In an instant, the plaza was shrouded in waves of powerful aura.
Every member of the Skywater Team was enveloped in a hazy blue glow.
"Attack!"
Seeing this, Tang San shouted directly.
Dai Mubai and the others attacked in unison.
Shui Bing'er and her team did not delay either. The assault-types attacked, the control-types restrained, and the support-types enhanced!
Bang! Bang!
In less than a moment, the Soul Power attacks of the two teams collided. Their respective control techniques tangled and struggled against one another.
The two sides traded blows, each attacking and defending in turn.
For a time, the battle entered a deadlock.
Seeing this, Shui Bing'er hurriedly glanced at Shui Yue'er.
"Yue'er, Ice Snow Fluttering!"
Upon hearing this, Shui Yue'er immediately understood.
The two sisters promptly unleashed their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
Looking again, a dark cloud had somehow formed out of thin air above the plaza.
Then, snowflakes began to fall from that cloud.
The flakes danced through the air, every single one as sharp as a blade.
They spiraled downward, becoming an icy snow vortex that swept toward the seven from Shrek Academy.
At this sight, Tang San and the others all blanched.
"Not good! It's a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"
Tang San cried out in alarm.
"If you can't hold on, then surrender. We'll stop!"
At the same time, Shui Bing'er's voice rang out.
Hearing this, Tang San's expression darkened. He hurriedly unleashed the Blue Silver Prison, enveloping everyone within it.
The blade-like snowflakes battered it relentlessly, trying to slice the Blue Silver Prison apart!
Gradually, Tang San's expression turned ugly, and he appeared increasingly unable to hold on.
At one point, he suddenly looked toward Shui Bing'er and said in a deep voice, "Stop, now!"
Hearing those words, Shui Bing'er thought Tang San and the others were surrendering. She smiled smugly and withdrew the Martial Soul Fusion Skill together with Shui Yue'er.
But what she had not expected was this.
The moment they stopped, Tang San suddenly raised his hand, and several crossbow bolts shot out from his sleeve.
The sudden attack caught Shui Bing'er and the others off guard, forcing them to dodge in every direction.
In their frantic evasion, their original battle formation was immediately broken apart.
Tang San seized the opportunity and shouted, "Attack!"
Dai Mubai and the others immediately struck.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As wave after wave of Soul Power swept forth, Shui Bing'er and the other Skywater Team members were sent flying after being defeated.
Seeing this, Tang San smiled smugly.
He swept his gaze over Shui Bing'er and the others lying on the ground, then mocked:
"The geniuses of the Skywater Team don't seem like much, do they?"
Hearing this, Shui Bing'er gritted her teeth in fury and glared at Tang San resentfully.
"You're despicable!"
"You surrendered, so we stopped."
Tang San gave a cool laugh, looking utterly unconcerned.
"Shui Bing'er, when did I ever surrender?"
"Just now, I only told you to stop. I never admitted defeat!"
"Don't you know that all is fair in war?"
"Besides, I told you to stop, and you stopped. Are you really that obedient?"
After Tang San's words, Shui Bing'er was so angry that she could not speak.
At that moment, Xiao Wu stepped forward to defend Tang San.
"Third Brother is right."
"No matter what, winning is all that matters!"
Dai Mubai smiled and looked down at Shui Bing'er arrogantly.
"Shui Bing'er, now you know how formidable we are, right?"
"From now on, you'll be the one defeated by me. That's what they call the wheel of fortune turning!"
Seeing Tang San and the others acting so smugly, Shui Bing'er was nearly angered to the point of vomiting blood.
At the same time, the Skywater Academy students watching from the side were all indignant.
"They're utterly shameless!"
"Are all the Shrek Team members this sinister?"
"Senior Sister Bing'er deliberately let them off, yet they actually turned around and bit her!"
"..."
After hearing the surrounding discussions, Shui Ruoling's expression darkened.
She had not expected Tang San to be so cunning and deceitful.
He had exploited Shui Bing'er's mindset and launched a surprise attack. It was indeed despicable, yet she could not really say much about it.
Seeing this, Master smiled smugly.
"Dean Ruoling, thank you for letting us win!"
"Shrek Academy has won today's match."
"Now that the outcome has been decided, we shall take our leave first!"
As he spoke, Master glanced at Tang San and the others, preparing to lead them away.
But at that moment, a shout suddenly rang out: "Hold it!"
