" Shrek will win!" This time, the Shrek members stood up simultaneously and shouted in an unusually firm tone.
On the other side, the members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy had also stood up, listening to their instructor's final instructions.
A minute passed quickly.
"Both teams' players enter the arena." The referee meticulously calculated the time.
Seven people immediately stepped forward from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
Leading the way was their captain, Xiao Hongchen, followed closely by Zhao Shuting and Hao Tingkun's Xiao Hongchen.
Meng Hongchen was originally a member of this team, but unfortunately, she was lured away by Cao Yu a few months ago.
Cao Yu looked at Xiao Hongchen across from him and smiled smugly. " Xiao Hongchen, I will take good care of your sister for you."
The opponents were already heading towards the arena, and Shrek Academy was naturally following suit.
"I've already announced the rules of the match, so I won't repeat them again. Both sides step back and prepare to begin. The match ends when one side has no one left to fight."
Both teams slowly retreated, gradually approaching the edge of the playing platform.
Hao Tingkun asked in a low voice, "Xiao, I have a feeling this time it's a bit risky."
"Get lost! Stop spouting such discouraging words," Xiao Hongchen snapped irritably.
"That's right, Hao Tingkun, if you can't speak, then shut up. Nobody thinks you're mute." Zhao Shuting also glared at him fiercely.
Hao Tingkun shrugged helplessly. "Is it my fault?"
After all, they lost so badly in the individual elimination rounds, so they probably don't expect much better in the team competition.
Cao Yu's side simply arranged their formation; they didn't need any specific tactics.
On the other side, the Sun Moon Team's formation was specially designed: a cone formation. As the captain, Xiao Hongchen naturally stood at the front, with the others forming a triangle behind him.
"The match begins!"
On Shrek's side, only Cao Yu remained in his original position; he planned to let Tang Ya and the others practice first.
The members of the Sun Moon Team were overjoyed to see this. It seemed that Cao Yu had become so arrogant and conceited that he no longer bothered to lay a hand on them.
However, this gave them a chance to fight back. As long as they dealt with these six people, even if Cao Yu was strong, he wouldn't be able to do anything to them. After all, even ants can kill an elephant if there are enough of them.
Of course, they weren't foolish enough to attack Cao Yu first.
As Soul Engineer of Level 6 or above, they coordinated perfectly. As the first wave of light spheres flew out, the second wave of numerous ranged Soul Tool also began to unleash their power.
Numerous beams of light, orbs of light, and projectiles instantly rose into the air, surging forth like a tidal wave.
Tang Ya's fifth Soul Ring began to pulsate. Holding the Blue Silver Overlord Spear in her hand, she used her other hand to urge the ground, causing the Blue Silver Grass to grow wildly, eventually forming a sturdy and thick vine.
They shot up four or five meters high in an instant, and just as the Sun Moon Team was flying into the air, their feet were Entanglement by the outstretched Blue Silver Grass vines.
Xiao Hongchen and the others raised their Soul Cannon and blasted them at the vines below.
An explosion rang out, and the sturdy vines instantly split open.
However, Wang Dong'er's third Soul Skill, Butterfly God Slash, had already arrived quietly, and one hundred and eight slashes of light appeared in front of Xiao Hongchen and the others.
A large portion of those shells were intercepted.
The attack was powerful, causing damage over a radius of more than five meters. The members of the Sun Moon Team began to scatter, but one Butterfly God Slash still managed to hit their Soul Tool Shield.
Xiao Xiao and Ning Tian were naturally not to be outdone. Xiao Xiao played the Nine Phoenix Worshipping Flute, and the first, second, and fourth Soul Skill, Slowing, Hoop, and Phoenix Seal, were applied to the opponent. Xiao Hongchen and the others suddenly felt that their speed had slowed down by half a beat.
Immediately afterwards, Ning Tian's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul began to amplify Tang Ya and the others' strength, agility, Soul Power, defense, and attack attributes.
Bei Bei stood in front to block the Sun Moon Team from attacking the two of them.
The Thunder Dragon Claw, crackling with powerful electric arcs, slammed down fiercely towards the incoming Soul Cannon.
Instantly, his second Soul Ring pulsed, and the powerful electric current generated by the Thunderous Might detonated the cannonballs in mid-air.
Suddenly, three large cauldrons appeared in front of him, blocking the powerful explosion.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Xiao had already retrieved the Nine Phoenix Worshipping Flute, Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron Martial Soul behind her had lit up.
Jiang Nannan used her third Soul Skill, Instant Teleportation, to suddenly appear behind Xiao Hongchen and the others.
Immediately afterwards, her Second Soul Ring also began to pulsate in rhythm, and her Gravity Control Soul Skill caused Xiao Hongchen and the others to suddenly lose their weight.
Even the resistance to upward movement has started to increase.
On the Sun Moon Team's side, apart from Xiao Hongchen and Hao Tingkun who transformed into Level 7 Soul Tool Turret, the rest of them were holding up heavy soul-guided shields to block them.
The hundreds of cannons on the back of the Three-Legged Golden Toad were aimed at every person charging towards them.
Numerous level-seven Soul Cannon poured out, blasting Xiao Xiao's Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron away, which crashed into the protective shield outside the arena. Xiao Xiao's face turned pale; the explosion had also affected her Martial Soul.
Jiang Nannan, who was charging ahead, was also hit.
The intense flames instantly engulfed her; the power of the level seven Soul Cannon was so great that even Tang Ya and the others couldn't save her in time.
When the smoke cleared, Jiang Nannan returned to Cao Yu's side unharmed.
After all, her fourth Soul Skill, Invincible Golden Body, can defend for seven seconds.
"You all stand back, it's my turn to perform now!"
Cao Yu also took out several metal discs from his Storage Soul Tool.
The massive foundation pressed down on the ground, producing a clanging, metallic scraping sound.
Soon, a giant Soul Tool Turret radiating golden light was formed.
After all, Cao Yu is an Level 8 Soul Engineer, so using this Level 8 Soul Tool Turret is naturally no problem for him.
My father once said that we must use magic to defeat magic.
Then we'll use the methods that give others an advantage to defeat our opponents, making them admit defeat wholeheartedly!
Soon, the Shrek Representative Team retreated behind Cao Yu, their thick, sturdy cannons aimed at Xiao Hongchen and his group.
Cao Yu grinned, "Now it's time to hunt!"
Golden light enveloped the entire area, but a single cannonball blasted through the shield formation formed by the Sun Moon Team.
Xu Tianran in the stands fell into deep thought, and not only him, but also the audience present seemed somewhat surprised.
When did he become so skilled with high-level Soul Tool from the Shrek Academy?
It just goes to show that times have changed; today's match was definitely worth the trip!
Xuan Zi laughed heartily, "This kid really lived up to my expectations! He's practically killing me by breaking my spirit! Hahaha!"
Wang Yan and Yan Shaozhe were both smiling broadly. " Xuan Zi, with little Cao Yu there, the academy won't have to worry anymore."
In an instant, the scene became extremely chaotic, and the Sun Moon team members who were holding shields had already been blasted off the field.
Only Xiao Hongchen and Hao Tingkun, forming two Level 7 Soul Tool Turret, remained, facing Cao Yu from afar.
Another shell fired, instantly disintegrating Xiao Hongchen and his companion's Soul Tool Turret.
They could only helplessly say, "We admit defeat!"
Cao Yu and his team ultimately won the match and advanced to the quarterfinals.
The Sun Moon Team will need to compete against the remaining teams in this group. If they can secure second place in the group, they will be able to squeeze into the quarterfinals along with Shrek Academy.
