A Formidable Opponent! The Shrek Team! (1)

Inside the rest room of the Skywater Academy Team at the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament.

"Hey Zhu Zhuqing, what do you think? Should we go all out or go easy on him later? Should we teach your womanizing fiancé a lesson?"

After arriving at the Skywater Academy, Zhu Zhuqing lived in the same dormitory as Shui Yue'er. The quiet Zhu Zhuqing was gradually influenced by the lively and cheerful Shui Yue'er, and she became the closest to all the girls. Shui Yue'er also knew a lot about Zhu Zhuqing.

"Yeah, Zhu Zhuqing, when we came out of the Shrek Academy, I didn't know. I only found out later. It turns out that Dai Mubai, who led the way, was such a jerk. He abandoned you and came here to have a good time, surrounded by women. Why didn't you say so sooner? You could have let Brother Tianshuang beat him up."

Faced with this unprecedented warmth, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes welled up with tears. Fortunately, she had always been very good at disguising herself, so she quickly controlled her emotions and spoke in a detached tone as if she were talking about someone else, "It's not necessary. Ever since I came here with Brother Tianshuang, I've had no relationship with him anymore. Let's just have a normal competition."

After another round of gossip and idle chatter, Shui Xinrou could hear the faint chatter coming from inside before she even entered the room. With a helpless smile, she pushed the door open and came in.

When everyone saw that it was Shui Xinrou who pushed open the door, the room, which had been noisy and filled with laughter, immediately fell silent. Shui Yue'er, who was sitting at the table, quickly returned to the sofa and sat up straight.

Looking at the adorable big eyes staring at her, Shui Xinrou was speechless again. She put the documents in her hand on the table and said, "You guys, really, the competition is about to start, and you're all so unserious. Bing'er, aren't you going to do something about it?"

Shui Bing'er, who had just started flipping through the documents, replied without looking up, "Shrek? A team without even a single Soul Ancestor. With Tianshuang absent, and all of us at the Soul Ancestor, how could we possibly lose?"

Although she knew Shui Bing'er was right—after all, she couldn't figure out how seven Soul Elder could win against seven Soul Ancestor —she still warned, "Every team has its own trump card; don't underestimate them. Tang San has several exquisite Self-Created Soul Skill, and their captain Dai Mubai, has Martial Soul that's said to be comparable to the Blue Lightning Tyrant..."

"Oh dear, Auntie, are you really going through menopause? All this nagging... We won't let you down, relax, relax."

Although she was interrupted, Shui Xinrou wasn't angry. She patiently gave her some more instructions, since winning this match would secure the top spot in the group for the Skywater Academy Team.

"Dear viewers, welcome to the preliminary rounds of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament. Both teams facing off today are incredibly strong. First up is the Skywater Academy Team, currently leading their group with a perfect record!"

As the host Doudou's passionate voice faded, the spotlight shone on a group of girls in blue, with the lively and adorable Shui Yue'er and blowing kisses to those around her.

"The Skywater Academy Team boasts both strength and good looks. Not only is they the only team in the Heaven Dou Empire region with seven Soul Ancestor, but their captain Shui Bing'er, also has the highest Soul Power Level among all teams. Can they continue their winning streak today and advance as the top team in their group with a perfect record? Let's wait and see!"

"Next up is the Shrek Team. This team is undoubtedly a dark horse, having won both of their previous matches, including a victory against the powerful Blue Sunshine Academy, who can unleash Seven-in-One Fusion Skill. Today, they face the strongest team yet. Can they pull off another upset and advance?"

Once both teams had arrived on the stage, Doudou pointed to the screens in the air and said, "Let's take a look at the players' information."

"Shrek Academy's captain is Dai Mubai, his Martial Soul White Tiger, he's a level 44 Power Attack System Battle Soul Ancestor, and his Soul Ring Configuration 2 yellow and 2 purple. Wait, level 44?"

The host Doudou, quickly flew to the staff and, after confirming several times, said, "It's unbelievable! Before the competition started, the Shrek Team leader submitted a completely new set of member information. How did they manage to increase their Soul Power Level so much in such a short time? The improvement in the Shrek Team members' strength has made the competition full of suspense. Let's take a look at the information."

"Vice Captain Tang San, Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass, Level 44 Control System Battle Soul Ancestor, Soul Ring Configuration: 2 Yellow, 1 Purple, 1 Black. Ma Hongjun, Martial Soul... My god, the entire Shrek Team is also Soul Ancestor? Even the lowest- Soul Power Level Jing Ling player is Level 41, it's truly astonishing. I wonder how the Skywater Academy Team will respond?"

"How is this possible, sister? How did they all reach the Soul Ancestor in just one week? I remember Jing Ling, whose Soul Power was the lowest, was only level 37. I could understand Dai Mubai and Tang San breaking through from level 39 in the heat of battle, but how could this be?"

Shui Yue'er looked utterly incredulous, her mouth agape wide enough to fit an egg. Shui Bing'er and the other women, after hearing the information about the opposing Shrek Team, all abandoned their previous relaxed expressions and put on serious faces.

Seemingly remembering something, Shui Bing'er pictured Yu Tianshuang in her mind, and then said, "She must have absorbed some kind of immortal Immortal Herb or rare treasure, just like us. But it doesn't matter. Everyone, stay alert and don't be careless."

At the very front of the group Dai Mubai, after activating his Martial Soul, looked smugly at Zhu Zhuqing opposite him, his eyes revealing a hint of resentment.

"You bitch, my fiancée, you actually ran off with another man! If word gets back, where will I put my face? But whatever, after this match today, I'll make you beg me on your knees to come back to me, hmph."

"Xue Wu, with Tianshuang absent, the responsibility of direct confrontation falls to you. But don't feel too much pressure; Lingling and Hairou will be keeping a close eye on you from the rear. Your task is to hold off their captain as much as possible. Zhu Zhuqing, Yue'er, I'll leave those two Agility Attack System Soul Master on the other side to you. Leave the rest to me. Rongrong, after your initial buff, besides protecting yourself, you also need to constantly observe your teammates and keep the buffs going."

"Alright, one minute of preparation time is up. I hereby declare the match open!"

"Nine Treasures Turn Into Glazed Glass: one says: swift..."

After Ning Rongrong's amplification was precisely applied to everyone, Xue Wu saw Dai Mubai, who was already charging forward, and also charged towards him from the front.

"First Soul Skill, White Tiger Light Wave."

As the team leader, Dai Mubai, still emotional, immediately unleashed his ranged attack on Xue Wu, who was charging towards him, hoping to intimidate these short-sighted women.

"Second Soul Skill: Snow Satin Body Entanglement"

Seeing the yellow light wave shooting towards her, Xue Wu smirked, calmly cast a buff on herself, then crossed her arms to block Dai Mubai's attack with ease.

"This woman, isn't she just supposed to hide in the back and dance? How come she's so difficult to deal with?" Dai Mubai thought with some surprise as he saw Xue Wu easily block his attack.

However, he seemed to have overlooked the fact that, besides Shui Bing'er the Winter Snow Sacrificial Dance, Xue Wu Wu's role in the team was to charge into battle alongside Yu Tianshuang.
