Huo Yuhao and Shen Ce placed their hands on the lottery bucket, and the referee placed the red, yellow, and blue balls into it.
The two then worked together to throw the ball high into the air.
" Brother Sky Dream, it's all up to you."
Under the mental control of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, the three balls rolled in the lottery bucket, and the red ball representing the team finally fell out of the hole.
"This is a piece of cake for me," Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said smugly.
"Thank you, Brother Sky Dream."
The referee caught the ball and simultaneously retrieved the lottery bucket that had fallen through the air.
After showing the ball to both sides, and then gesturing to Emperor Xingluo atop the imperial city walls, he loudly announced through the soul-guided megaphone:
" Shrek Academy will face off against the Qianling Academy in a seven-player team battle."
"Both sides, please send your players onto the field."
The Star Luo Emperor's spirits lifted. He pressed down on a diamond on his star ring, and his soul-guided earpiece immediately activated. Xu Jiujiu connection, he whispered:
"How is it?"
Xu Jiujiu, who was in charge of the trading on the other end, replied:
" Shrek has always been undefeated, and many people have mortgaged their houses to buy their properties. Fortunately, we've already made money from betting that Shrek will win the individual battle and the 2v2 3v3 match."
"In this team battle, let's hope Chu Qing won't let us down. Both on and off the field, online and offline, besides the people from the Qianling Academy and Xu Sanshi from Shrek betting on the Qianling Academy to win, there's no one else. We're destined to win today."
For other academies, the only requirement for betting is a win or a loss, but Shrek Academy's matches have the most rules, often requiring players to guess the exact score.
Chu Qing didn't originally want to buy it, but he had been fined by Xu Jiujiu, so this was the only way he could make up for it.
As the players from both sides took to the stage, the cheers from the audience grew even louder.
The seven students from the Qianling Academy were Chu Qing, Yang Tian, Shen Ce, An Lengye, Fei Yuyan, Chen Hanyu, and Tang Wutong.
The seven students from the Shrek Academy were Bei Bei, Jin Suqiu, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, Huo Yuhao, Dai Huabin, and Zhu Lu.
Both referees shouted:
Both sides retreat to either side.
"On your marks, the game begins."
Shrek Academy did not rush to attack, but instead released their Martial Soul while announcing their names.
" Shrek Academy, Bei Bei, Level 42, Power Attack System Battle Soul Ancestor."
" Shrek Academy, Jin Suqiu, Level 52 Power Attack System Battle Soul King."
" Shrek Academy, Xu Sanshi, Level 44 Defense System Battle Soul Ancestor."
" Shrek Academy, Jiang Nannan, Level 41 Agility Attack System Battle Soul Ancestor."
" Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao, Level 28, Soul Grandmaster specializing in control and summoning."
Shrek Academy's self-reported rankings surprised the audience. Weren't the best Soul King?
However, it is understandable, after all, the official teams of most academies are only at this level at most, not to mention that the Golden Dragon Girl Jin Suqiu is extremely powerful, with Soul Ring ratio of two purple and three black that suppresses the entire field.
But when Huo Yuhao uttered the phrase "level 28," it immediately caused all the viewers to gasp in disbelief. Level 28? Shrek? Are they kidding me?
Can just anyone with connections be shoved into this competition?
However, the audience's doubts were quickly silenced by the two gray Soul Ring rising from beneath Huo Yuhao's feet.
Everyone was astonished; how could there be a gray Soul Ring?
At this moment, Huo Yuhao, after being possessed by the Holy Necromancer Martial Soul Possession, instantly transformed into a magnificent black robe, on which golden runes shone.
Beyond the long robe was a large white cloak, the hood of which was pulled up over his head. In his right hand he held a staff that was much longer than his height, resembling a spear.
The staff is made entirely of a mixture of black, white, and gold.
The three colors are intertwined: black represents pure death, gold represents holy light, and white seems to be related to the summoning power of a magician.
The three colors of metal coiled upwards to form this magical staff, and at the top of the staff was a huge crystal, carved into the shape of a skull, and entirely white.
His appearance made it hard not to associate him with an evil soul master, but at the same time, he exuded a holy aura of light, which is why he was taken in as a disciple by Dragon God Douluo Mu En.
Besides his necromancer's armor, his pair of purple-gold eyes beneath his cloak shone with extraordinary brilliance.
He diligently cultivated the Purple Demon Eye, and because the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul was highly compatible, he had already achieved remarkable results.
Normally, it's difficult for Soul Master with Twin Martial Souls to use both Martial Soul simultaneously. However, under the guidance of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Electrolux, he can use the power of two Martial Soul at the same time, and switch between them much faster than a typical Soul Master with Twin Martial Souls.
While he may appear to possess only one Martial Soul, he is actually wielding both the Holy Necromancer and the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul Possession simultaneously.
Many people were surprised. Previously, Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul was unpredictable, and only some experts noticed the changes in his eyes. At that time, Huo Yuhao was only using a Soul Tool in battle.
I initially thought he was Soul Engineer, but now it seems that Huo Yuhao hadn't shown his true abilities all along.
Two gray Soul Ring pulsed rhythmically around him, like a requiem from the netherworld.
His Holy Necromancer Martial Soul is unique, capable of producing its own Soul Ring, each one gray, inheriting the power of the Necromantic Calamity, Electrolux.
Although he was just a minor second-ring archmage, the aura emanating from him sent chills down the spines of the referees nearby.
" Shrek Academy, Dai Huabin, Level 39 Power Attack System Battle Soul Elder."
" Shrek Academy, Zhu Lu, Level 29 Agility Attack System Soul Grandmaster."
With Huo Yuhao setting an example, the audience became much more tolerant of Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu, feeling that Shrek members who could stand in the reserve team here must have something special.
Shrek's official ranking system.
This was something Huo Yuhao and his group had agreed upon. They appeared to be polite and respectful to their opponent, but in reality, they were willing to expose their true strength in order to find out Chu Qing's true Soul Power Level.
At such an important place, the people from the Qianling Academy were happy to leave their names.
" Qianling Academy, Shen Ce, Level 54 Power Attack System Battle Soul King "
" Qianling Academy, An Lengye, Level 48 Control System Battle Soul Ancestor."
" Qianling Academy, Fei Yuyan, Level 46 Control System Battle Soul Ancestor."
" Qianling Academy, Yang Tian, Level 45, Power Attack System Battle Soul Ancestor."
" Qianling Academy, Tang Wutong, Level 45 Power Attack System Battle Soul Ancestor."
" Qianling Academy, Chen Hanyu, Level 38 Agility Attack System Battle Soul Elder."
Chu Qing was the last to sign up.
What he really wanted to know was his exact strength.
There's no need for that, because he's here to show off.
Before he announced his name, seven terrifying Soul Ring slowly rose from beneath his feet.
Two purples, two blacks, one red, one Ice Jade, and one orange.
The oppressive aura was overwhelming, and everyone was shocked. In the comparison, their gazes shifted from Huo Yuhao's gray Soul Ring to Chu Qing.
Then he said firmly:
" Qianling Academy, Chu Qing, Level 70 Vegetable-Chopping System Battle Soul Saint!"
He felt that with his current strength, comparable to Titled Douluo, he could start giving up beef!
