Before the team battle began, the Shrek Team members had already arrived at a luxurious waiting hall prepared for them at the Soto Great Soul Arena.
The entire waiting area is over 100 square meters and is decorated with expensive sofas.
This surprised the Shrek members.
Meanwhile, in an equally luxuriously decorated hall, several young men, all appearing to be around twenty years old, were engaged in a heated discussion.
Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan sat on the sofa.
Two young men nearby were arguing incessantly.
One of the handsome men was Yu Feng, the owner of the Wind Chime Bird Martial Soul, and the other, dressed in black, was Osler, also Agility Attack System Battle Spirit Master.
Meanwhile, the two Shi brothers, who possessed the Black Tortoise Shi Family, sat quietly to the side, regulating their Soul Power.
The other woman, whose entire body was shrouded in a black robe with only a wisp of blue hair peeking out from the hem, was Ye Lingling, the owner of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul.
" Feng Yang, you're actually playing this time!"
Yu Feng's gaze fell on a man sitting on the edge, who was a substitute for their team.
"I don't know why, they actually have to send eight people."
Yu Feng looked at Yu Tianheng on the sofa with disdain and said:
"Boss, among us level 30+, there's probably no one else who's managed to get the Silver Soul Badge, right?"
"They don't think they have a chance of winning just because they have eight people, do they? Hahaha..."
"Alright." Yu Tianheng, sitting on the sofa, rubbed his temples and said:
"Can't you guys be a little quieter like the Shi Brothers?"
"Also, don't be too arrogant. Remember this: never develop a careless habit. There are many powerful figures in the Soul Master World, and no one can be sure that an even stronger one will appear."
Yu Tianheng tried to persuade them earnestly, but it was clear from Yu Feng and Osler's reactions that they didn't take it to heart.
Just then, the door suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man in his thirties walked into the room.
Upon seeing the middle-aged man appear, the people in the room immediately became serious. Whether it was Yu Tianheng sitting on the sofa or the two Shi Family brothers who were meditating with their eyes closed, they all stood up and bowed to the middle-aged man.
" Teacher Qin."
This was Qin Ming, the coach leading the Imperial Fighting Team.
He had an ordinary appearance and wore simple clothes. Apart from his exceptionally bright eyes, he looked just like an ordinary person.
But how could he be ordinary, given the respect he commands from geniuses like Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan?
After all, he is the second youngest Soul Emperor in the history recorded by the Spirit Hall!
He is only thirty-four years old now, but he is already a renowned Soul Emperor.
Such a genius is exactly the goal of everyone in the Imperial Fighting Team!
Qin Ming nodded, raised the documents in his hand, a strange smile on his face, and said:
"This time, you've probably met your match..."
"I just received accurate information about your opponents; please take a close look."
Qin Ming placed the documents in his hand on the table and laid them out. The members of the Imperial Fighting Team all gathered around.
Vice Captain Dugu Yan read aloud:
" The Shrek Eight Monsters Team, origins unknown... Iron... Iron Soul Badge!? What makes them worthy of being our opponents?"
Dugu Yan's tone gradually became sharp, and her voice contained a hint of surprise.
Qin Ming sat calmly to the side and said:
"That's right. A month ago, they did indeed have the Iron Soul Badge, but in this month, they've had twenty-seven battles and twenty-seven wins. If the points hadn't been tallied yet, they would have already advanced to the Silver Soul Badge."
"Think about how long it took you to advance to the Silver Soul Badge?"
Qin Ming's words made the members of the Imperial Fighting Team frown.
Yu Feng's face showed a look of disapproval, and he retorted:
"That's because they didn't encounter any powerful opponents, which is why they won these victories so easily. How can a mere Suotuo City compare to our imperial city?"
Qin Ming glanced at Yu Feng and said calmly:
"Really? What did you think of the Mad Team you faced last time?"
Their Soul Power Level is not bad; they only lost to you because their Soul Ring were of lower quality.
A month ago, the first team the Shrek Eight Monsters fought was the Mad Team.
" Teacher Qin, you don't mean to say that Shrek Team won, do you?"
Osler, dressed in black, asked incredulously.
"Since Teacher Qin says so, then it's quite obvious." Dugu Yan shrugged, her tone tinged with curiosity:
"Only..."
Her hand swept across the Soul Power Level of the Shrek Devils on the data sheet, and she continued speaking:
"How did they manage to beat the Mad Team with such a low Soul Power Level?"
Everyone looked at the information on the table, which detailed the strength and Martial Soul of the Shrek Eight Monsters:
Captain: Evil Eye White Tiger, Martial Soul: White Tiger, Level 38 Power Attack System Battle Soul Master, Soul Ring: Two Yellow and One Purple!
Vice Captain: Bone Spirit Cold Flame, Martial Soul: Bone Spirit Cold Flame, Level 31 Control-Type Battle Spirit Master, Soul Ring: Two Yellow and One Purple!
Vice Captain: Thousand-Hand Asura, Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass, Level 32 Control-Type Battle Spirit Master, Soul Ring: Two Yellow and One Purple!
Team members:
Soft Bone Charm Rabbit, Martial Soul: Jade Rabbit, Level 31 Power Attack System Battle Soul Master, Soul Ring: Two Yellow and One Purple!
Evil Fire Phoenix, Martial Soul: Evil Fire Phoenix, Level 28 Power Attack System Battle Soul Master, Soul Ring: Two Yellow!
Hell Spirit Cat, Martial Soul: Hell Spirit Cat, Level 28 Agility Attack System Battle Spirit Master, Soul Ring: Two Yellow!
Sausage Monopoly, Martial Soul: Sausage, Level 31 Auxiliary System Weapon Soul Master, Soul Ring: Two Yellow and One Purple!
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile, Martial Soul: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Level 27 Auxiliary System Weapon Soul Master, Soul Ring: Two Yellow!
"Haha, with this level of Martial Soul, teacher, is there anything I should be careful about?"
After reading the information on the Shrek Eight Monsters, Dugu Yan couldn't help but chuckle, her expression becoming nonchalant.
"Snort!"
Qin Ming, sitting on the sofa, snorted coldly, and the members of the Imperial Fighting Team immediately tensed up.
" Yanzi, it's one thing for Yu Feng and the others to be careless, but you're the vice-captain of the team, how can you underestimate your opponent like that?"
"If you go on stage with this mentality, I guarantee you'll soon suffer a huge setback!"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan stuck out her tongue, shrank back, and dared not speak again.
Yu Tianheng gently waved his hand behind his back to reassure everyone, then continued to ask Qin Ming:
" Teacher Qin, judging from the information, the one we probably need to pay the most attention to is that disciple from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
In addition, there's the Evil Fire Phoenix. The word "evil" suggests it's some kind of mutation of the Phoenix Martial Soul, but its strength is only level twenty-eight.
"One of their two vice-captains even has Martial Soul that's just Blue Silver Grass. Based on this information, it's really hard to see what makes them so formidable."
Qin Ming nodded as he listened to Yu Tianheng's analysis.
Your analysis is fairly rational.
"But I want to remind you all, never underestimate any opponent on the field! Aside from this information, the specifics will only become clear when you face off tomorrow."
"Since the Soto Great Soul Arena has sent them, they probably have some tricks up their sleeves."
"Remember this: tomorrow you must give it your all, but also, no matter the outcome of this battle, you must not kill anyone, or even cripple your opponent. Do you understand?"
Qin Ming's gaze fell specifically on Dugu Yan:
"Especially you, Yanzi, if the enemy is poisoned by you, you must help them detoxify immediately after the battle, without the slightest delay."
This was the first time anyone had seen Qin Ming make such a serious request, and Dugu Yan couldn't help but ask in surprise:
"Why, teacher? Didn't you teach us that there are no fathers and sons on the battlefield, and that we must go all out?"
Qin Ming gave a wry smile and said to the group:
"Alright, just remember what I said. I'll tell you the answer after the Soul Heaven Dou."
Qin Ming glanced at the time and said to the group:
"Alright, it's almost time!"
"Let's go!"
After saying this, Qin Ming turned and walked outside, sighing inwardly.
