"I never expected that the second Shrek Team would be Yiran!"
In the stands of the Botanical Academy Team, Huo Wu Shui Bing'er, and Meng Yiran gathered to watch the battle between the Shrek Team and the Exotic Beast Academy Team below.
Because of Salas's guarantee of absolute fairness, the selection of players is random, and no one can predict who they will face next.
Unexpectedly, after Dieying, their team was facing off against Meng Yiran's Exotic Beast Academy Team against Shrek Team.
"This is a good thing. The day before yesterday, I asked my teacher to come and sense it. Tang San and the others have indeed refined high-age Soul Bone."
The opponent hasn't fully refined the Soul Bone yet, which is perfect for me to make my move.
Holding the Martial Soul Serpent Cane, Meng Yiran coldly watched the Shrek team member below, who had once again severely injured and knocked one of his teammates to the ground.
That wasn't a main player for the Shrek Team, but a substitute player, and he came from the Clear Sky Sect.
Although the opponent did not possess the cultivation level of Soul King like Tang San and the others, he was older, a full twenty-four years old, and his cultivation level had reached forty-nine, making him infinitely close to Soul King.
He's a formidable and ruthless character!
Only ten minutes have passed since the start of the battle, but the opponent has already achieved a one-versus-six victory, defeating all six of her teammates.
One more win would secure the final victory, but that's all that matters.
"Be careful, don't push yourself!"
Little Nine gave a stern warning.
After these few days of training, although Snake Lance Douluo did not teach Meng Yiran her own inheritance, he began to integrate what Meng Yiran had learned in the past, and his combat power increased by at least three times.
Not to mention the Head Soul Bone he refined!
Compared to the Soul Bone that Tang San and others had refined over 100,000 years old, Meng Yiran's Soul Bone, although infinitely close to 100,000 years old, was still a bit lacking, and the difficulty of refining it was much lower.
So, with the help of Snake Lance Douluo these past few days, he has completely refined that Head Soul Bone. Not only have his physical attributes and mental strength greatly increased, but his combat power has also been greatly enhanced, not to mention the time-based Soul Skill contained within the Soul Bone.
"Kindness!"
Little Nine's words of advice warmed Meng Yiran's heart, and a slight blush appeared on her pretty face. She nodded, picked up her Serpent Cane, and leaped onto the battle platform.
" Pretty boys are just so attractive; even Yi Ran has fallen for them!"
At this moment, Caren spoke up teasingly, glancing meaningfully at Zijing Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er, making the three girls extremely embarrassed, but also touching their hearts.
"Sister Lian, please stop making fun of me!"
Little Nine gave a helpless bitter smile. People had said so many times about his appearance that he couldn't even remember how many times he had been mistaken for a girl.
But can you blame him for this?
That's all his mother's fault!
Who told his mother to be so Pretty, and to pass on that stunning beauty to him? Isn't that just a disservice to her son?
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Caren and the others turned their attention back to the battle platform below.
"Let me give you a heads-up, you'd better admit defeat now, or I can't guarantee I won't cripple you!"
Leaping onto the platform, Meng Yiran sized up Tang Long, a substitute player from the Shrek Team, and, finding that he had exhausted most of his Soul Power, lost interest in fighting him.
Having spent so much time with Little Nine, she had also subtly developed the heart of a strong person.
True strength lies in never taking advantage of others' misfortunes, nor in engaging in battle with the weak; it lies in fighting those who are stronger.
In her eyes, Tang Long, in his current state, was clearly a weakling not worth fighting, and even if she won, she wouldn't feel any sense of accomplishment.
However, Meng Yiran's well-intentioned reminder was seen as Mo Da humiliation by Tang Long, who came from the Clear Sky Sect. He sneered and mocked, "I heard that you, Huo Wu from the Blazing Fire Academy, and Shui Bing'er from the Skywater Academy have been hanging out with that good-for-nothing Little Nine lately. Are you playing the 'sleeping together' game?"
If that good-for-nothing Little Nine can't satisfy you, you can come to me in private. I guarantee I'll make you feel like you're in heaven!
As he spoke, Tang Long scanned Meng Yiran's perfect body with an aggressive gaze, the meaning of which was self-evident.
"Your Honor, I'm ready!"
With a cold expression, Meng Yiran turned her head and nodded to the referee outside the battle platform, indicating that the battle could begin.
"I hereby declare the seventh match between the Shrek Team and the Strange Beast Team officially begins!"
The referee indifferently announced the start of the battle, and then Meng Yiran's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, reappearing behind Tang Long.
At the same time, Tang Long's heavy Martial Soul Clear Sky Clear Sky Hammer fell heavily to the ground, leaving only a bare hand on the handle.
Tang Long's entire right arm was severed at the shoulder, with the upper arm and forearm section turning into a cloud of blood mist and broken bones.
Clearly, in that instant, his arm was completely smashed by Meng Yiran, a truly miserable sight.
That wasn't the end of it. A huge wound appeared on Tang Long's chest, his entire chest was cleaved open, and you could even faintly see his beating heart inside through the wound.
"Murder! This is murder! Referee, I demand that Meng Yiran of the Strange Beast Team be disqualified from the competition."
Seeing Tang Long's miserable state, Flender in the stands could no longer sit still and shouted angrily.
The referee completely ignored what Flender said.
According to the competition rules, he would only accept requests from team captains and their instructors. As for others, even the words of the dean of the academy were invalid and could be completely ignored.
"Tsk tsk... It seems like you Shrek students are the least qualified to say that!"
At this moment, Prince Xue Beng, the captain of the Second Heaven Dou Team, stood up and jokingly teased Flender and the others. He then turned to a girl sitting behind him and said, "Could you please, Sister Lingling, lend a hand to heal that member of the Shrek Team? Just save his life."
The girl didn't say much, but summoned her martial Martial Soul to cast a long-range healing ability on Tang Long on the battle stage.
Tang Long's gruesome chest wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the wound on his severed arm was healing.
" Nine Heart Begonia!"
Ning Fengzhi, standing on the main stand, watched the girl unleash a begonia flower Martial Soul, a chilling glint in his eyes.
As the owner of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the number one support-type Martial Soul in the world, he was naturally aware of the Nine Heart Begonia, a formidable competitor.
In fact, if the Nine Heart Begonia could be passed down through a single lineage, the title of the number one support-type Martial Soul in the world would never have fallen to their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
After all, their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has limitations. Unless they have an extraordinary stroke of luck, they will be stuck at level 79 for life, just like him now.
However, the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul does not have this limitation and can be cultivated all the way up to the Titled Douluo level.
However, what aroused Ning Fengzhi's murderous intent was not this reason, but rather that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, like the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, was very suitable for receiving the Godhood Inheritance of the Nine-Colored Goddess.
Previously, because the Godhood Inheritance was difficult to find and the requirements were too high, their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had never produced Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, so there was no need to pay too much attention to it.
But things are different now. Thanks to the celestial medicine given to her by Tang San, her daughter's Martial Soul Breaking the Limit, achieving the legendary Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and she can now pursue the legendary divine inheritance.
Therefore, anything that could threaten their daughter's achievements must be eliminated as soon as possible, and the biggest threat is naturally the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, which is also suitable to inherit the Nine-Colored Goddess's Godhood.
Ning Fengzhi glanced discreetly at Xue Ye beside him, suppressing his murderous intent.
Since the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul has appeared in the Imperial Fighting Team, it must mean that the Nine-Hearted Begonia Clan has sided with the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. If they want to take action against that girl, they need to think carefully and devise a perfect plan.
However, how could Ning Fengzhi's murderous intent escape the notice of the Xue Ye, who was standing right next to him?
After all, he was also a Titled Douluo- level powerhouse, even Peak Douluo of Level 98, not to mention that he had been deliberately paying attention to Ning Fengzhi's changes.
Sensing Ning Fengzhi's fleeting killing intent, Xue Ye also felt a killing intent rising in his heart, an intent directed at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and even the entire aristocratic families and sects.
Unlike the imperial nobility, aristocratic families and clans are completely independent systems and do not depend on the empire much.
He was already dissatisfied with the investments made by the major families and sects in the Shrek Academy. The reason he had Ye Lingling's First Heaven Dou Team also appear in the qualifying rounds was twofold: firstly, to observe and gather intelligence, since they might face each other in the finals.
Secondly, he wanted to test Ning Fengzhi, the representative of the aristocratic families and sects, but the result of the test left him feeling very disheartened.
Ning Fengzhi knew that the Nine-Hearted Begonia Clan had already pledged allegiance to him, but he still harbored murderous intent and seemed to have already begun plotting it in his mind.
This clearly shows they don't take the Heaven Dou Imperial Family seriously!
Clearly, in the face of Godhood Inheritance, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family held little weight in Ning Fengzhi's heart, and could truly rebel at any time.
Understanding this, Xue Ye became even more determined to support the Crown Prince's plan; these powerful families and sects had to be eliminated.
As for the imperial nobles, it's enough to keep a few obedient ones; the disobedient ones should just be eliminated.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Flender was almost Xue Beng out by Xue Beng's sarcastic remark. In the qualifiers, their Shrek Team's first opponent was the Second Heaven Dou Team of Heaven Dou.
Several years ago, when Shrek Academy applied to the Heaven Dou Empire for increased funding, Prince Xue Beng rejected the application on unreasonable grounds during his visit to the academy, which led to a conflict between the two sides.
In addition, he wanted to gain fame by stepping on the Imperial Fighting Team, so he instructed Tang San and the others to go a little harder and end the battle in half a minute.
The Second Heaven Dou Team was indeed seriously injured when caught off guard, but they managed to recover by claiming that they had prepared a healing-type Soul Master in advance to treat the enemy.
They never expected that fortune would turn around and this kind of thing would happen to Shrek Academy today.
"Hehe..."
Seeing Flender's ugly expression, Xue Beng out a satisfying, cold laugh.
Although going up against the powerful Shrek Academy would be troublesome, the Shrek Team's captain Dai Mubai, is a prince of the opposing Star Luo Empire!
Does he need a reason to Xue Beng with the team of a prince from the Heaven Dou Empire, who is also a prince from the Star Luo Empire?
Just like a few years ago when he, as part of an inspection team, rejected Shrek Academy's request for increased funding on that trivial reason, it was perfectly politically correct!
Not to mention, this was something his own father had secretly instructed him to do beforehand!
"Referee, Meng Yiran from the Strange Beast Team crippled one of our team members' arms, causing severe disability. This is a serious violation of the competition rules, and I request that Meng Yiran be disqualified from the competition."
Looking down at Tang Long, whose wounds had barely healed but who had lost an arm, especially his most important right arm, Dai Mubai, the captain of the Shrek Team, spoke up.
This wasn't because he was afraid of Meng Yiran. He admitted that Meng Yiran's attack was amazing, but that was all.
In their view, Tang Long would never have lost if he hadn't underestimated his opponent and hadn't been careless, especially considering the significant depletion of his Soul Power and stamina from fighting six members of the Strange Beast Team.
If they were to take the field, Meng Yiran would inevitably concede defeat and back down, thus preventing him from avenging Tang Long's defeat.
Therefore, having the referee disqualify Meng Yiran from the competition is the safest course of action.
" Meng Yiran, do you have any explanation for Shrek Team's demands?"
The referee glanced indifferently at Meng Yiran, preparing to give Meng Yiran the opportunity to resolve the matter on her own, according to the competition rules.
If Meng Yiran is unable to resolve Tang Long's disability issue, he will have no choice but to disqualify Meng Yiran from the competition according to the competition rules.
He would never show favoritism in this matter!
"Sigh! I warned you a long time ago, but you just wouldn't listen. Now look what happened!"
This is the first time I've ever seen someone so brazenly stage an accident; it's truly eye-opening!
With a disdainful sneer, Meng Yiran turned her head and nodded towards the Botanical Academy Team's stands.
