Wang Yan's words calmed the Shrek team down a bit, but seeing the Sun Moon Team members chatting and laughing in the opposite rest area, the pressure in their hearts did not lessen at all.

As night fell, the members of the Shrek Team returned to their rooms to rest.

Ma Xiaotao walked at the back, her steps light, a meaningful smile on her face.

Bei Bei walked behind, watching Ma Xiaotao's back, her unease growing stronger.

"Xiaotao Sister Xiaotao..." he couldn't help but ask, "Is the plan you just mentioned really okay?"

Ma Xiaotao stopped and looked back at him.

Her gaze was calm, so calm that it sent a chill down Bei Bei's spine.

"Bei Bei, are you doubting me?" Her voice was soft, yet carried an undeniable authority.

"No... that's not what I meant..." Bei Bei quickly shook her head.

"Don't worry," Ma Xiaotao smiled slightly, "I did all this for Shrek."

After saying that, she turned and left, leaving Bei Bei standing there alone, her unease growing stronger and stronger.

Night deepened.

The lights of Star Luo City gradually went out, but the winds of change on the Douluo Continent were quietly shifting with each battle.

The night before the final was destined to be a sleepless one.

Rewind to the night before the finals. In the private conference room where the Sun Moon Team was staying, the warm yellow Soul Guidance Lamp illuminated the long table, where Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, Ma Rulong, Ji Juechen, and Bao Liang sat together.

Xiao Hongchen was eating the chilled watermelon that Meng Hongchen had given him, Bao Liang was eating Ju Zi that Meng Hongchen had peeled for him, looking utterly bored.

In Bao Liang's view, this meeting was completely unnecessary—when you have enough raw power to crush your opponent, all the tactics you have are just for show.

No matter how many tricks Shrek members can pull off, he can wipe them out with a single Soul Skill, giving them no chance to use any tricks at all.

No matter how many tactics you prepare beforehand, the outcome is already decided in the blink of an eye if you change your formation on the spot.

Bao Liang's extraordinary intelligence told him that he only needed to use his super strength normally to easily win the match.

Not only him, but Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen also thought so.

As the three who know each other's strengths best, they are all too aware of just how outrageous this team is right now.

Especially Meng Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen knew all too well how abnormally strong his younger sister had become after absorbing several Soul Ring and Soul Bone that were extremely suitable for her.

Bao Liang remained absurd from beginning to end, his combat power was ridiculously exaggerated; although his destructive power increased greatly after evolving into the Ultimate Gold, his forging ability plummeted. Fortunately, everything improved after absorbing the Soul Ring of the Three-Legged Golden Toad, which also had the bloodline of a divine beast.

But my younger sister Meng Hongchen, is the only one whose acting is so ridiculous that it's not even an act.

Meng Hongchen's Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toad Martial Soul originally possessed dual attributes of ice poison and fire poison. The essence of the poison attribute was the product of the constant collision and backlash between the ice and fire poisons within his body.

However, after absorbing pure ice-attribute Soul Beast Soul Ring starting from her Third Soul Ring, her Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toad began to undergo a tremendous transformation—its ice attribute continued to rise, and its quality evolved wildly towards the Ultimate Ice.

Perhaps because Bao Liang used his Hot Core talent to heal Meng Hongchen's Martial Soul backlash day after day, the fire attribute of the Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toad was decreasing, but its quality was becoming more and more solid, like a volcano that was poised to erupt.

The most outrageous thing is Meng Hongchen's Third Soul Skill, which directly transformed from the original Ice Refraction into Ice Mirror Magic - it can create a mirror through ice to reflect the opponent, copy the corresponding clone, and then use the opponent's Soul Skill to hit back.

This Soul Skill was still within the normal range, but don't forget that Meng Hongchen also has a crown-shaped head with External Soul Bone.

The Soul Bone Skill "Glacial Illusory Dream" combined with the new Third Soul Skill allows one to directly use mental power to copy the appearance of others in their mind, project the image onto an ice mirror, and then use Soul Skill that the opponent already knows and that one has mastered to deal with them.

The projection's strength is directly linked to the number of Soul Ring Meng Hongchen possesses: if the projection has more Soul Ring than the projector, the projection's strength is 100%; if the number of Soul Ring is equal, the projection's strength is 90%; if it has one less soul ring, the projection's strength decreases by another 10%, and so on.

Although it is impossible to project Soul Bone, and there is a risk of failure when the mental strength of the two parties is too different, as long as the projection is successful, the projection will obey all of Meng Hongchen's commands 100%. However, the number of projections and the duration of their existence are only limited by Meng Hongchen's mental strength.

With Meng Hongchen's current mental strength, projecting at least twenty targets simultaneously under extreme conditions is not a problem at all.

More importantly, none of the five people— Kong Deming, Jing Hongchen, Ye Yulin, Bao Liang, and Xiao Hongchen— would refuse or resist Meng Hongchen's offer of his seal.

This is also the fundamental reason why Meng Hongchen can become the strictest parent to Bao Liang and Xiao Hongchen — Bao Liang will not refuse any of her requests. As long as Meng Hongchen has the thought of having Bao Liang use his Third Soul Skill, Instant Explosion, he can instantly project at least twenty ice mirrors with Bao Liang's projection onto them to fight for her, without any cost.

This is something that absolutely no one else could do.

However, Bao Liang's situation took an unexpected turn.

As Bao Liang's strength increased, his Third Soul Skill, Instant Explosion, became increasingly unstable. He also acquired more and more Soul Tool specially made by Kong Deming. Now, he not only wore bracelets and rings, but also a collar.

Because if Bao Liang didn't have these specially made Soul Tool, if he lost his will to prevent himself from exploding even for a moment, it would cause a large-scale indiscriminate explosion.

Thinking of his two completely unreasonable fellows, Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Now, only he and his grandfather are normal people in the Hongchen Clan; the other two are truly inhuman.

As for this meeting targeting Shrek? Pshaw, it's completely unnecessary.

If you just throw either Bao Liang or Meng Hongchen onto the stage, they can easily dominate the entire audience.

Unfortunately, Ma Rulong was unaware of their true strength and was too eager to win. Seeing the best opportunity to defeat Shrek Academy right in front of him, he naturally didn't want to miss it. He pulled out a stack of well-organized intelligence data, preparing to analyze it one by one.

It must be said that Ma Rulong did his homework very well.

Aside from Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, two unpredictable and overpowered individuals for whom he couldn't find accurate information, he thoroughly investigated the information on all the other Shrek Academy members, even uncovering secrets such as Ma Xiaotao being the personal disciple of Yan Shaozhe, the current dean of Shrek.

Sure enough, those who want to win don't have smiles on their faces, especially when it comes to winning against Shrek.

"In tomorrow's first team fight, all three of the opposing team's remaining main players will definitely be on the field. Among them, we need to pay special attention to Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng!"

Ma Rulong placed a piece of intelligence on the table and began to analyze it logically and with evidence.

"Ma Xiaotao, with Soul Power Level of 68, is the contestant with the highest Soul Power Level in this competition. Her Martial Soul the Evil Fire Phoenix, and her strength is extremely formidable. As far as I know, she is also the personal disciple of the current dean of the Shrek Academy! Meng Hongchen, your Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toad's ice attribute completely counters her Evil Fire. This Ma Xiaotao is entrusted to you."

Meng Hongchen glanced at Ma Rulong, nodded, and did not refuse.

She'd wanted to beat that "dead roast chicken" for ages!

Grandpa said that it was this Evil Fire roasted chicken that summoned that Immortality Xuan Zi to capture my Little Baozi!

If I don't beat you to a pulp tomorrow, I'm not Meng Hongchen!

"As for the other Soul Emperor in their team, Dai Yueheng, we'll leave him to Ji Juechen and me to deal with," Ma Rulong continued. "His Martial Soul is the Evil Eye White Tiger, and he's the eldest son of Dai Hao, the White Tiger Duke of the Star Luo Empire. His Soul Power Level sixty-four. Even if he has Soul Bone, Ji Juechen and I are more than enough to hold him off."

Ji Juechen did not refuse either. He had long wanted to have a good fight with the geniuses of Shrek, hoping to experience the Douluo I exhilarating feeling of battle as Bao Liang and Jiang Peng.

Next, Ma Rulong began to arrange the assignments of the other opponents: Ling Luochеn, the last official member of Shrek and an ice-controlling Soul Master, was assigned to Bao Liang.

Melee Battle Soul Master Soul Master, but Bao Liang can definitely crush her.

As for the rest of Shrek, Ma Rulong didn't think they were a threat and assigned them all to Xiao Hongchen and his group.

Xiao Hongchen's idea was simple: just go all out and run them over like speed bumps.

Ma Rulong's core tactic is comprehensive suppression, using his strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses, and achieving victory with minimal risk and maximum advantage.

Having done his homework thoroughly, his tactical arrangements were indeed very meticulous, and he also talked about many details of dealing with unexpected situations, emphasizing flexibility and adaptability.

As the main attacker, he assigned himself the heaviest task: not only to cooperate with Ji Juechen to block Dai Yueheng, but also to have an overall view of the entire area, and to provide support as quickly as possible in case of any changes in any direction.

That must have been tough, Lao Ma.
