Faced with the judgment made by Heavenly Fiend Douluo, Xu Zhengyang knew that neither he nor the Sun Moon Team could argue anymore. This old guy Xuan Zi was even disregarding his own reputation. If he went crazy, he could even dismantle the so-called Referee Committee.
More importantly, this is the home ground of the Star Luo Empire. The three great empires are very hostile to the Sun Moon Empire and do not want to see the Sun Moon Empire win the championship, which is why this ruling occurred.
Ma Rufeng said, " Xu Zhengyang, you and Meng Hongchen were injured by Xuan Zi, but not seriously. How long you need to recuperate is entirely up to you."
Xu Zhengyang didn't waste any words. "No need for rest anymore, apply to start the second round of one-on-one matches immediately."
Ma Rufeng and the others hesitated at first, but quickly understood Xu Zhengyang's meaning. The ones who really needed time now were the Shrek Shrek members. Among them, Huo Yuhao Wang Dong had clearly exhausted their Soul Power, and Dai Yueheng was seriously injured. They needed more time to recover, and they would even do everything they could to buy time for the three of them.
Ma Rufeng turned to the Heavenly Fiend Douluo on the arena and spoke.
"Referee, to ensure the match proceeds smoothly and to avoid disrupting the game, we don't need rest time. The one-on-one matches can begin now."
Heavenly Fiend Douluo nodded, then looked at all the spectators in the arena, and at the same time at the Shrek members.
"According to the ruling and the Sun Moon Team's request, the one-on-one elimination match will begin immediately. You have one minute to consider your lineup, and the match will start normally after one minute."
The Shrek Academy members were shocked to hear this. They had thought that, based on the previous situation, Xu Zhengyang and Meng Hongchen would need some time to recover after being blasted Xuan Zi by Xuan Zi's strength. However, they did not expect that they did not need to recover at all.
It could even be said that they had absolutely no intention of giving Shrek any time to recover, especially Dai Yueheng, who was the most seriously injured but still quite strong. Without Dai Yueheng, there was no point in even having a one-on-one elimination match.
Dai Yueheng was originally resting and recuperating, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, I still have the strength to fight. Even if I die, I will uphold the honor of Shrek."
Even though Dai Yueheng appeared unusually strong, black blood still flowed from the corner of his mouth, and the wound that had been treated with all his might was showing signs of reopening. Xu Zhengyang and Meng Hongchen had really gone all out in their last few attacks, especially since Meng Hongchen had been fighting Dai Yueheng at close range. Even with his Soul Emperor level cultivation, Dai Yueheng was seriously poisoned.
Huo Yuhao, who was originally focused on recovering his strength, was filled with anger.
" The Sun Moon Team is too despicable. They knew we were short-handed, they knew Dai Yueheng was seriously injured, but they still started the match immediately. They simply didn't want to give us a chance to recover. They just wanted to eliminate us in the one-on-one elimination match. They didn't even want to play a third match."
Upon hearing this, everyone at Shrek was furious. They had been champions for thousands of years, and the champions had never been eliminated. They never imagined that they would be in such a desperate situation, and that they might even be eliminated in two matches. That would truly make them a laughing stock.
Wang Yan looked helpless. "This is the Sun Moon Team's tactic, and also their goal in Sun Moon Team battles. They just want to make sure we have no one to fight, and they want to prevent us from playing a third match."
"At this critical juncture, we're in a desperate situation. No matter what, we need to buy time for Dai Yueheng, Huo Yuhao, and Wang Dong. Only then might we have a fighting chance and a final opportunity."
Upon hearing this, the Shrek Academy members fell silent. Indeed, they had Ma Xiaotao Ma Xiaotao, the strongest Soul Emperor in the entire Soul Master Tournament, who had reached Level 67 and whose individual strength far surpassed Dai Yueheng and Ma Rulong. But even if Ma Xiaotao went all out on the field, how many could she possibly defeat?
Judging from the current situation of the Sun Moon Team, not only are all members Soul King, but all except Xu Zhengyang are Level 5 Soul Engineer. Soul Engineer are born with the power to suppress Soul Master. From any perspective, this battle is bound to be lost. No matter how strong Ma Xiaotao is, she can't possibly defeat five or even six at once.
Moreover, with Ma Xiaotao's defeat, the others are powerless to fight back, and may not even be able to restrain her. Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei, the two with the strongest combat abilities in the entire team, have already been poisoned and are now in critical condition.
Ma Xiaotao gritted her teeth. "Teacher Wang Yan, let me go. I don't believe the Sun Moon Team is really that strong, and I don't believe they can take advantage of our situation."
The Sun Moon Team is also finalizing its lineup, especially the first player to appear.
Actually, Xu Zhengyang's idea was to simply abandon the individual competition and directly use the 2-2-3 formation. Currently, Shrek only has one...
The only one with the fighting power is Ma Xiaotao. In addition, there is the mysterious Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's Martial Soul Fusion Skill. No matter how strong Ma Xiaotao is, she can only participate in one match. Xu Zhengyang is absolutely confident of winning the other two matches, even if he is facing Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.
Furthermore, Xu Zhengyang also had his own selfish motives. He really didn't want Ma Rulong to use his trump card against Ma Xiaotao. Ma Rulong possessed the Level 8 Soul Tool, the Sword of Judgment, which could indeed restrain Ma Xiaotao Ma Xiaotao and cause her Martial Soul to completely sink into the Black Phoenix. However, at that point, Xuan Zi Soul Fighting Arena would definitely intervene, and wouldn't Ma Xiaotao's ending be the same as in the original story?
Xu Zhengyang didn't want Ma Xiaotao to fall into the hands of the Holy Spirit Cult like in the original story. Judging from the original story, the Holy Spirit Cult didn't play any role in controlling Ma Xiaotao. On the contrary, they did their best to cultivate an undercover agent and even gave Ma Xiaotao a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, which was purely aiding the enemy.
Rather than that, it would be better to leave the uncontrollable Ma Xiaotao at the Shrek Academy. Ma Xiaotao is an uncontrollable bomb in Shrek's hands, and sooner or later she will blow Shrek Academy to smithereens.
As the referee announced the start of the match, one player each from the Shrek Team and the Sun Moon Team stepped onto the field.
Surprisingly, the first player to take the stage for the Shrek Team was not Soul Emperor Ma Xiaotao, but He Caitou, one of the only two Soul Ancestor and their only Soul Engineer.
The person who appeared for the Sun and Sun Moon Team was also surprising; it wasn't their captain, Ma Rulong, but Xiao Hongchen.
This order of appearances surprised countless people, making them feel that this was a match with no suspense whatsoever, at least in the eyes of the vast majority.
However, the appearance of the Sun Moon Team members was actually within Xu Zhengyang's expectations. Among the entire Shrek Team, the only one who could truly fight against a Soul Engineer was Soul Engineer He Caitou. Shrek sent He Caitou to appear not for the sake of victory or defeat, but to buy time.
On the contrary, Xu Zhengyang knew that Xiao Hongchen was extremely powerful and was a dual cultivator of Martial Soul and Soul Engineer, making him the strongest Soul Engineer of the same level. Xu Zhengyang wanted Xiao Hongchen to force Ma Xiaotao out so that he could use a war of attrition.
Just as Xu Zhengyang had predicted, as soon as the match began on the stage, both Xiao Hongchen and He Caitou had countless cannons appear on their bodies and started firing at each other. However, He Caitou had Level 4 Soul Tool, while Xiao Hongchen had Level 5 Soul Tool.
Moreover, from the very beginning, He Caitou used speed and agility to constantly dodge, clearly trying to prolong the battle and hold out for as long as possible.
Unfortunately, in terms of physical strength, agility, and Soul Power storage, He Caitou is far inferior to Xiao Hongchen.
Over the years, Xiao Hongchen has been very active in physical training and has also honed his Martial Soul, the Three-Legged Golden Toad. The Three-Legged Golden Toad is a top-tier Beast Martial Soul, not only possessing extremely strong attack power but also having extremely strong metal properties, and it can use Soul Tool very quickly.
In just a few minutes, He Caitou was completely defeated. Even though He Caitou used his Martial Soul Cigar to enhance himself to the fullest extent, he was still no match for Xiao Hongchen when the two sides got close. The Sun Moon Team won the first victory.
After losing their first match, Shrek Team's morale plummeted.
The second Shrek Team to take the stage was Jiang Nannan. Jiang Nannan's Martial Soul is the Soft Bone Rabbit, but she is currently only Soul Ancestor. Jiang Nannan's combat ability is indeed quite good. The Soft Bone Rabbit is very fast, especially with the skills of Teleportation and Invincible Golden Body, which can be called divine skills.
Unfortunately, she underestimated Xiao Hongchen Xiao Hongchen, especially his mastery of Martial Soul.
When Xiao Hongchen launched a full-scale attack, especially when Xiao Hongchen used the Level 5 Soul Cannon, Jiang Nannan suddenly unleashed her Fourth Soul Skill, Invincible Golden Body, and forcefully blocked Xiao Hongchen's full-force attack.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Nannan's entire body suddenly changed position, using Teleportation to appear next to Xiao Hongchen, preparing to use her First Soul Skill, Waist Bow, intending to use the highly flexible Waist Bow to attack Xiao Hongchen. Clearly, she thought Xiao Hongchen's close combat ability was not strong, and perhaps she could gain a victory through a surprise attack.
Unfortunately, the moment Jiang Nannan used Teleportation, Xiao Hongchen's body changed rapidly. At that moment, Xiao Hongchen did not use his Soul Tool, and at a distance of less than half a meter, even his Invincible Shield could not be used.
Instead of using Soul Tool, Xiao Hongchen instantly transformed into a giant Three-Legged Golden Toad. After the Three-Legged Golden Toad possessed him, Xiao Hongchen's limbs turned golden, his muscles rapidly expanded, and even the toughness of his skin greatly improved.
Jiang Nannan's First Soul Skill, the Waist Bow, can indeed produce unexpected results in close combat, and it is indeed extremely powerful. Unfortunately, they underestimated Xiao Hongchen's actual combat ability.
Despite his outstanding performance in all the matches, Xiao Hongchen only used his Soul Tool and never used his Martial Soul or physical body. This was partly because the Sun Moon Team was always able to suppress their opponents from a distance, and partly because Xiao Hongchen never needed to exert his full strength. Even in one-on-one battles, Xiao Hongchen never used his Martial Soul or close combat abilities.
The moment Jiang Nannan and Xiao Hongchen collided, Jiang Nannan's expression changed instantly, as she had thought her plan had succeeded. Xiao Hongchen's body seemed to become extremely tough, yet also like liquid. Her Waist Bow struck Xiao Hongchen, but it had no effect whatsoever.
Xiao Hongchen laughed suddenly, "Beauty, you've been hiding for so long, hoping to defeat me in battle. Unfortunately for you, I also wanted to wait for you to get close and reveal a weakness, which would negate the advantage of your Soft Bone Rabbit's speed."
Jiang Nannan's waist strength increased dramatically, and her entire body, like a longbow, struck Xiao Hongchen hard.
But Xiao Hongchen did not retreat but advanced, his body like a huge piece of cowhide, not only taking on a strange shape, but the impact of his Waist Bow was like hitting a swamp.
Ignoring the impact of the Waist Bow, Xiao Hongchen stretched out his hands and grabbed Jiang Nannan tightly. Then, he grabbed her with his feet and slammed them to the ground, sending dust flying everywhere.
When things calmed down again, Xiao Hongchen was still in a takedown position, but now there were two small Soul Cannon on her shoulders, pointed directly at Jiang Nannan's head. If she dared to make any further moves, she would fire the cannons and severely injure Jiang Nannan.
Xiao Hongchen smiled and said, "Little beauty, don't blame me for bullying you. If it were a man, he would have been seriously injured and lying on the ground by now."
