Not long after, the staff member who had just left returned.
However, behind him followed a middle-aged man who looked quite dignified.
It was none other than Manager Ao, the host of the battle between Shrek and the Mad Team.
"Hello, you must be the team leader of Shrek Team?"
Manager Ao walked up to the Grandmaster with a kind smile and said:
"I don't know if I could take up a little of your time, but there's something we'd like to discuss with you."
"Are you representing the Soto Great Soul Arena or yourself?" the Grandmaster asked calmly.
"Of course, it represents the Soto Great Soul Arena."
Manager Ao invited the Grandmaster into a quiet room backstage.
The Grandmaster nodded slightly; he had anticipated this situation.
After all, the Shrek Team had a record of 27 consecutive wins.
Unless the other party is an idiot, they probably already investigated the Shrek Team.
The Great Soul Arena was jointly founded by several prestigious families in the Douluo Continent.
So, although he wasn't very willing, the Grandmaster still wanted to hear what the other party planned to do.
Of course, if it violates his principles or would harm the Shrek Eight Monsters, the Grandmaster would absolutely not agree.
"Team leader, then I won't keep you in suspense any longer."
Inside the room, Manager Ao's expression was somewhat grave as he explained to the Grandmaster:
"That's right, on behalf of the Soto Great Soul Arena, I hope the Shrek Team can participate in the main Soul Fighting Arena match tonight!"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, the Grandmaster's face showed a hint of surprise, then he frowned and said:
"I remember that according to the rules of the Soto Great Soul Arena, the Shrek Team is not yet qualified to participate in the main Soul Fighting Arena competition, right?"
Only Soul Master of Silver Soul Fighter or higher are allowed to appear in the main Soul Fighting Arena.
Manager Ao gave a wry smile:
"You don't need to be modest."
"With the strength of the Shrek Academy members, they will easily reach the Silver Soul Badge once this month's points are tallied, so this is nothing."
"Then why must they participate in tonight's main match?" the Grandmaster continued to press.
"Well..."
Manager Ao sighed, then looked troubled and said to the Grandmaster:
"I won't lie to you, three days ago, a team of Soul Master arrived. They were almost entirely composed of Silver Soul Fighter Soul Master, and it seems they were a team hired by several powerful noble families in Suotuo City."
"Over the past three days, those powerful nobles have relied on this team, placing heavy bets on them and causing immense losses to the Great Soul Arena."
"You should know that those who can reach the Silver Soul Badge are generally Soul Ancestor of level 40 or above, but the Soul Master in those teams are still at the Soul Elder level, so we can't break the rules and send a team of Soul Ancestor Masters to the arena."
"If we let them continue winning, I'm afraid..."
Manager Ao looked apologetic and glanced at the Grandmaster.
Upon hearing what Manager Ao said, the Grandmaster understood.
It's likely that even teams at the Soul Elder level in the Soto Great Soul Arena couldn't defeat them, which is why they set their sights on the Shrek Team.
What kind of Soul Fighting team did you send out?
"Since we can't send a team with Soul Ancestor level members, we can only choose from teams with level 30 Bronze Soul Fighter."
"The last team they faced was the Mad Team that played against the Shrek Team before."
" The Mad Team lost too?" The Grandmaster's face immediately showed surprise, and he frowned as he said:
"The average Soul Power Level of the Mad Team has reached level 35. Could it be that this team's Soul Power Level is even higher than that of the Mad Team?"
"That's not it."
Manager Ao shook his head and continued:
"However, every Soul Master in this team has the best possible combination of Soul Ring based on their age."
Upon hearing Manager Ao's words, the Grandmaster's face showed a look of understanding.
The so-called optimal combination of Soul Ring age.
It was the knowledge he had taught Xiao Yan and Tang San: to make each Soul Ring as close to its limit as possible.
Just like Xiao Yan and the others, their Soul Ring are all perfectly matched.
Two yellow and one purple.
The Grandmaster was silent for a moment before speaking, "I remember there are extra rewards for participating in the battles in the center arena, right?"
"Certainly!"
Seeing that the Grandmaster was already interested, Manager Ao's face lit up with joy.
"Each Soul Master who participates in the central arena will receive a reward of 500 Gold Soul Coin."
"If the Shrek Team agrees to participate, we can also pay an additional 10,000 Gold Soul Coin as a reward."
"Of course, if Shrek players participate, they don't need to participate in tonight's one-on-one and two-on-two matches. We will use their opponents' concesions as the match results and accumulate points for them."
"Please give it your all in tonight's team battle."
Hearing Grandmaster Manager Ao's sincere words, the master finally nodded.
The real reason wasn't that he valued the gold coins offered by the Great Soul Arena.
Such a rare opponent.
Each of them has the best Soul Ring combination, making them the best opponents for the Shrek Team!
"Alright, then give me the other party's information, and I'll call him back." The Grandmaster nodded.
"No need to trouble you, I'll have my staff call them back right away."
Manager Ao waved his hand, instructing staff to call the Shrek team back.
Meanwhile, another deputy was arranged to place the pre-prepared materials in front of the Grandmaster.
Inside a private room prepared for them at the Soto Great Soul Arena.
The Grandmaster then recounted his conversation with Manager Ao to everyone.
At the same time, he placed the documents in his hand on the table in front of him and asked everyone with a smile:
What do you guys think?
"What a pity."
Flender said with some regret:
" Xiao Gang, if you had waited for us to arrive before agreeing, you probably would have gotten a bit more for your appearance..."
"Alright, alright!"
The Grandmaster rolled his eyes at Flender and said:
"I've already spoken to them. Besides the 500 Gold Soul Coin each of them receives for appearing,..."
They each received 1,000 Gold Soul Coin, and the remaining 2,000 were used as funds for their third phase.
"That's good."
Flender immediately beamed with joy.
This period was in order to align with the Grandmaster's teaching methods.
Shrek Academy's savings are almost gone.
Over the past month, Xiao Yan and his team have earned a considerable amount of Gold Soul Coin through their victories. After a winning streak, they receive ten more Gold Soul Coin for each additional victory.
You could say that the current Shrek Eight Monsters...
Each of them is now worth far more than the academy.
"Alright, enough with the chit-chat, take a look at your opponents."
The Grandmaster spoke, and everyone picked up the documents on the table and began to read them.
" Imperial Fighting Team?"
Upon seeing the name, Flender, standing beside the Grandmaster, seemed to make a connection, a strange look flashing in his eyes.
