In the following days, the Imperial Fighting Team remained undefeated in the Soto Great Soul Arena. Neither the local Bronze Soul Fighter teams nor the hastily assembled Silver Soul Fighter powerhouses posed a real threat to them.
Yu Tianheng even found it somewhat boring. "The opponents here seem to be a notch weaker overall than those from Heaven Dou City."
On this day, Qin Ming received the new match schedule. He looked at his team members and announced their next opponent, "Our next team battle opponent is the Shrek Seven Devils Team."
" The Shrek Seven Devils Team?" The members of the Imperial Fighting Team were all taken aback.
Yu Tianheng asked in confusion, "Is it the team you've been paying special attention to, teacher? But the data shows they have Soul Grandmaster in their team..."
Yu Feng scratched his head. "We're all Soul Elder, going to fight a team with a Soul Grandmaster, isn't that... too unfair?"
Osler also looked hesitant.
At this moment, Lin Kong suddenly spoke up, asking a seemingly abrupt question, "You looked at the opposing team's roster, didn't you recognize anyone?"
Without hesitation, Yu Tianheng replied, " Ning Rongrong, the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Who doesn't know her? Who here hasn't seen her before?"
The others nodded in agreement, looking at Lin Kong with puzzled expressions—what kind of question was this?
Lin Kong shook his head. "It's not Rongrong."
At this moment, Dugu Yan sensed something was wrong and squinted at Lin Kong.
Lin Kong continued, uttering two more names, " Dai Mubai, and Zhu Zhuqing."
" Zhu Zhuqing?" Dugu Yan repeated subconsciously, now completely certain.
Not only him, but the rest of the Imperial Fighting Team also immediately noticed Lin Kong's overly familiar, even intimate, way of addressing the two girls.
Qin Ming's expression also became subtle as he looked at Lin Kong: " Rongrong? Zhu Zhuqing? Lin Kong, your way of addressing her..."
Dugu Yan narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze filled with scrutiny and a hint of danger, awaiting Lin Kong's explanation. If he couldn't provide a reasonable explanation...
Facing the focused gazes of the crowd, Lin Kong remained calm and slowly revealed the truth that caused everyone's expressions to change drastically. "Because I originally came from the Shrek Academy. Later, I was expelled."
"What?!" Qin Ming reacted the most violently, taking a step forward, his face filled with disbelief. "How is this possible?!"
Based on his understanding of Dean Flender, who, though stingy and eccentric, was extremely fond of talent and treasured exceptional students, Lin Kong's talent and temperament would make him a core member of any academy. How could Shrek possibly... expel him?
" Lin Kong..." Dugu Yan's gaze changed. The jealousy and scrutiny she felt because of the way she was addressed were instantly replaced by a surge of heartache.
She recalled Lin Kong's occasional silences, his complete avoidance of mentioning the past, and realized that such grievances lay hidden behind them.
"That's why I haven't mentioned the past." Lin Kong's voice was calm, as if he were talking about something unrelated to himself, but beneath that calm, one could more easily sense the deliberately suppressed turmoil. "It wasn't honorable; I was kicked out."
"Fine, Shrek Academy, indeed!" Dugu Yan gritted her teeth, her tone filled with anger and coldness.
Ye Lingling's clear, cold voice rang out, concise yet resolute. "Beat them to a pulp."
Yu Tianheng's gaze darkened completely, and a ruthless smile curled at the corner of his lips, "Hmph, the Shrek Seven Devils, is that it?"
Yu Feng put his arm around Lin Kong's shoulder and patted him hard. "Don't worry, this time I'll get revenge for you!"
Osler cracked his neck, his knuckles snapping. "I absolutely won't show any mercy."
The silent brothers, Shi Mo and Shi Mo, though they didn't speak, looked at Lin Kong with unwavering support, their eyes sharpening and becoming fierce.
The Imperial Fighting Team, at this moment, are united in their hatred of the enemy.
In the original story, Shrek Seven Devils narrowly defeated Emperor Dou, and Emperor Dou's carelessness and underestimation of their opponents were key factors. Now, after learning of Lin Kong's ordeal, this team is filled with nothing but anger to avenge their comrade and absolute seriousness. What awaits the Shrek Seven Devils is a thunderous attack that is all-out and flawless.
Lin Kong looked at Qin Ming and his teammates. "I'm going to play in this match."
"Of course!" Yu Tianheng replied without hesitation, "I'll go with you and take them down together!"
Yu Feng and Osler exclaimed in unison, "Yes!"
Lin Kong turned his gaze to Dugu Yan, a hint of apology in his eyes. " Yanyan..."
He is Control System, as is Dugu Yan. If he plays, it means that Dugu Yan will need to be temporarily substituted.
Dugu Yan immediately understood his meaning and nodded vigorously without the slightest hesitation. "Yes! You go! Teach them a lesson for me!"
She preferred to give the opportunity to Lin Kong rather than take the stage herself.
"Little Fatty, oh, the one whose Martial Soul is the Evil Fire Phoenix." Lin Kong began to analyze, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, "His flames were originally very effective against Yanzi's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison."
Upon hearing this, Yu Feng burst into laughter. "Hahaha! That little fat guy originally planned to use fire to counter Yanzi, but then he ran into you, Lin Kong? Your Blue Silver Grass has fire resistance, so now you're the one countering him!"
Osler laughed too, "Interesting, this is really interesting."
Lin Kong surveyed his teammates, who were brimming with fighting spirit, and finally said, "I'll handle the opening match; let me catch up with them. You guys hold your ground and follow my instructions."
Yu Tianheng patted his chest heavily, full of confidence. "No problem! Today you are our commander! We'll help you get revenge!"
The air inside the private room seemed to heat up a bit more from the rising fighting spirit.
Qin Ming shook his head with a wry smile, silently mourning for the Shrek Seven Devils.
If it weren't for Lin Kong's actions, he might have revealed some information to prevent his juniors from being humiliated too much. But now, oh well, being humiliated once is no big deal.
Listen to Lin Kong's words, " Rongrong " and " Zhu Zhuqing," he certainly won't go too far, but they've been kicked out, so the culprit will be in big trouble.
I wonder who will be unlucky?
While the Imperial Fighting Team was preparing for the battle, the Shrek Devils also learned about their opponents and obtained their information.
Tang San pointed and asked, "What's the deal with the eighth person?"
Below the names of the other people, various pieces of information were listed.
The eighth person, however, had nothing at all—no name, not even a nickname registered in the Soul Fighting Arena, let alone any other information.
How strange!
Yu Xiaogang shook his head. "I don't know."
Dai Mubai boasted shamelessly, "What's there to be afraid of? No matter who it is, just charge in and wipe them out."
Finally, the fourteen people from both sides stood on the Soul Fighting Arena.
Tang San pointed a finger and asked, "Who are you?"
"Who am I? Heh!" The hood was pulled down, revealing Lin Kong's face, and the Shrek students were shocked.
Lin Kong laughed heartily, " Xiao Wu, Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, do you want to fight me?"
