The stands were packed early on, with cheers rising and falling.
Shrek Academy's garish green team uniforms were still eye-catching, but after ten consecutive wins, no one would underestimate this team anymore.
Both teams entered the ring from the side passages.
On the Shrek Academy's side, Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng were at the very front, Tang San was in the middle, Zhu Zhuqing and Ma Hongjun were on either side, and Oscar and Ning Rongrong were at the very back of the line.
The seven members of the Blazing Fire Academy were led by Huo Wushuang, with Huo Wu standing in the center of the group. Two tall Fire Star Soul Master protected her on either side, while Fire Leopard Soul Master and two Fire Crane Soul Master lined up on either side.
Seven people, forming a triangular formation.
The referee walked to the center of the ring and gestured for both sides to bow.
Dai Mubai faced off against Huo Wushuang, their gazes clashing in mid-air, instantly filling the air with tension.
Yu Tianheng's gaze fell on Huo Wu. He could sense that this girl was the true core of the Blazing Fire Academy. "Both sides release their Martial Soul," the referee announced loudly.
In an instant, the arena was illuminated by the light of the Soul Ring.
On the Shrek Academy side, Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Yu Tianheng each had four Soul Ring rising beneath their feet, two yellow and two purple.
Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Ning Rongrong each have three Soul Ring, two yellow and one purple.
On the Blazing Fire Academy's side, Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu both had four Soul Ring under their feet, while the other five were all Three-Ring Soul Elder.
Shrek Academy has one more Soul Ancestor, which seems to give them an advantage on the surface.
But Tang San's expression was not relaxed.
His gaze was fixed on Huo Wu; the girl gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.
"The match begins!"
The moment the referee finished speaking, both teams moved simultaneously.
Dai Mubai charged forward first, instantly activating the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, causing his aura to surge.
His target was the Fire Leopard Soul Master opposite him.
At the same time, lightning crackled around Yu Tianheng's body as his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul was activated. His right arm, now Dragon Transformation, carried the power of Thunderclap and fiercely met Huo Wushuang.
Huo Wushuang grinned, Lie Yan erupting from his body as he unleashed his Unicorn Fire Dragon Martial Soul Possession, fearlessly charging towards Yu Tianheng.
The collision of the two dragon Martial Soul produced a muffled roar, and the shockwave spread outwards.
Faced with Dai Mubai's charge, the Fire Leopard Soul Master did not choose to confront him head-on.
His Third Soul Ring lit up, and a layer of dark blue flames appeared on his body.
At the same time, the Soul Ring on the two Fire Star Soul Master standing behind them flickered, and the Fire Star that had gathered in the air seemed to be drawn in, quickly entering the body of the Fire Leopard Soul Master.
The Fire Leopard Soul Master's aura suddenly surged. He let out a low roar and struck out with both palms, forcefully blocking Dai Mubai's tiger palm attack.
"Bang!"
Dai Mubai was forced back half a step, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.
With the support of two auxiliary Soul Master, the opponent was surprisingly no weaker than himself when he activated the White Tiger Vajra Transformation.
On the other side, the battle between Yu Tianheng and Huo Wushuang was even more intense, with Thunderclap and flames colliding constantly, producing crackling sounds.
Both were Power Attack System Soul Master, with fierce and aggressive fighting styles, making it difficult to determine a winner for the time being.
Zhu Zhuqing moved with lightning speed, attempting to bypass the frontal battlefield and directly target Huo Wu in the back row.
But her path was blocked by two fiery red figures.
Huo Yun and Huo Yu —two Fire Crane Soul Master unfurled their magnificent fiery wings and glided in an unusual arc, blocking Zhu Zhuqing's path.
The Third Soul Ring under their feet lit up simultaneously, and the Fire Crane Doppelganger were activated, with four flame clones appearing out of thin air to surround Zhu Zhuqing.
Seeing this, Ma Hongjun immediately Spit Up a stream of fire to provide support.
However, the moment his flames touched the Fire Crane Doppelganger, they were assimilated and absorbed by the flames on the clone's body, with minimal effect.
"Fatty, watch out!" Oscar shouted.
Before Ma Hongjun could react, a Fire Crane Doppelganger pounced on him, its sharp Scratch slashing toward his chest.
Ma Hongjun dodged awkwardly, but a patch of his clothes was scorched.
Tang San stood in the center of the group, his expression solemn.
His Blue Silver Grass had already been released, attempting to control the battlefield.
However, as soon as Blue Silver Grass gets close to the Blazing Fire Academy members, it is burned to ashes by the flames rising from their bodies.
Entanglement, Parasite, and Spider Web Restraint —his three major control Soul Skill were completely ineffective against the flames.
At this moment, Blue Silver Grass was even more powerless against the Blazing Fire Academy than it had been against the Elephant Armor Academy.
He already knew that Blue Silver Grass was afraid of fire.
However, their utter vulnerability in actual combat still caused Tang San to feel an overwhelming sense of frustration.
He tried to throw the Blue Silver Grass at the two Fire Star Soul Master, but the flames around the Fire Star Soul Master were even hotter, and the Blue Silver Grass was burned as soon as it got close.
" Tang San, think of something!" Dai Mubai shouted while fighting the Fire Leopard Soul Master.
Tang San gritted his teeth, and his Fourth Soul Ring lit up beneath his feet.
His Fourth Soul Skill comes from a Man Faced Demon Spider with six thousand years of cultivation, and its effect is to enhance his Third Soul Skill, Spider Web Restraint.
The Spider Web Restraint that previously required time to prepare can now be released in multiples at once.
Several deep purple Spider Web flew towards the Fire Leopard Soul Master and the Fire Crane Soul Master, but Spider Web were all deflected by a suddenly rising ring of fire as soon as they reached mid-air.
The Huo Wu.
Her Repelling Fire Ring was activated at just the right moment, not only repelling Tang San's Spider Web, but also pushing away Zhu Zhuqing and Ma Hongjun who were trying to get close.
" Rongrong, increase the power!" Tang San shouted in a low voice.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in Ning Rongrong's hand shimmered with light. " The Seven Treasure radiate glaze, representing three First: Strength, Second: Speed, Third: Soul!"
The three beams of colorful light entered the bodies of Dai Mubai, Yu Tianheng, and Zhu Zhuqing, respectively.
With the boost, Dai Mubai's momentum surged again, and he slapped his tiger paw repeatedly, forcing the Fire Leopard Soul Master to retreat step by step.
Yu Tianheng's Thunderclap became even more violent, making it difficult for Huo Wushuang to breathe.
Zhu Zhuqing's speed increased dramatically as she weaved through the Beat Up of the Fire Crane Doppelganger, her Scratch nearly striking the Huo Yun's main body several times.
The situation seems to be tilting in the Shrek Academy's favor.
But Huo Wu showed no sign of panic.
She remained standing between the two Fire Star Soul Master, calmly surveying the entire scene.
As Control System Soul Master at the Blazing Fire Academy, her task is not to attack, but to control the rhythm.
She saw it clearly: Shrek Academy's current advantage was built upon the full amplification provided by Ning Rongrong Soul Elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
While the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has a strong amplification effect, it also consumes a great deal of Soul Power.
Ning Rongrong is only a Three-Ring Soul Elder; her Soul Power cannot sustain her for long.
On the Blazing Fire Academy side, although the two Fire Star Soul Master were also consuming Soul Power, they only needed to focus on supporting the Fire Leopard Soul Master and Huo Wushuang, so the pressure was much less.
Moreover, Zhu Zhuqing and Ma Hongjun were already showing signs of fatigue under the attacks of the two Fire Crane Soul Master.
Huo Yun and Huo Yu are both at level 39, close to the Soul Ancestor, while Zhu Zhuqing and Ma Hongjun are only at level 33 or 34.
The difference in levels cannot be completely bridged by Ning Rongrong's power-ups.
