Girl, You're Really Brave

The air on the Soul Fighting Arena seemed to be solidified by the invisible Soul Power. The two teams faced each other across the distance, and the tense atmosphere was almost tangible. Even the light rain hitting the linked soul guidance pillars could not make a splash.

As arranged by Wang Yan, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong did not go on stage, but instead stayed in the rest area to secretly provide Spiritual Detection Sharing assistance to Ma Xiaotao and the others on stage.

On stage, Bao Liang glanced over the Shrek Team's rest area and his gaze landed precisely on Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, who were sitting side by side.

He saw the faint golden light emanating from Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul Spirit Eyes —a typical characteristic of when mental energy is highly activated, with even the corners of his eyes turning slightly red due to mental energy depletion.

A normal person might not notice this detail, but Shrek, who knew that Huo Yuhao possessed the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul and was aware that Shrek Bao Liang students always liked to tread the line of the rules, quickly deduced that they were probably cheating again.

Just then, a light drizzle began to fall from the gloomy sky. The raindrops, blown slanted by the fluctuations of Soul Power, pattered softly against the Soul Tool Shield.

To prevent rainwater from entering and to avoid the aftershocks of the battle from injuring the spectators in the stands.

After the Sun Moon Team and the Shrek Team were ready on the arena, the 128 linked soul guidance pillars around the arena lit up. The pale blue soul guidance light spread upwards along the pillars, and the huge transparent shield firmly enveloped the entire arena, even blocking out the rain, which only condensed into fine water droplets on the surface of the shield.

The moment the protective shield took shape, Bao Liang could clearly see Huo Yuhao's face turn deathly pale, and Wang Dong beside him was the same. Fine beads of sweat instantly appeared on Wang Dong's forehead, and his lips lost all color.

"Heh, the consumption of Spiritual Detection Sharing when penetrating the Soul Tool Shield is indeed considerable."

Bao Liang had previously tried using the True Eye of the Evil King for Spiritual Detection and knew that this kind of cross-medium mental energy consumption was several times that of usual. He smiled calmly, then turned his head and whispered a few words to Ma Rulong beside him.

Ma Rulong was a little confused.

The plan didn't mention taking a steady and slow approach. Originally, I was thinking of using Fortress Tactic to catch Shrek guard at the beginning, but seeing Bao Liang's confident and even somewhat nonchalant demeanor, I nodded as if possessed.

But it doesn't matter. Taking it slow is actually more advantageous for them. After all, as Soul Engineer, they can replenish their Soul Power to some extent by using Milk Bottle and Soul Tool. Compared to Soul Master, they definitely have the advantage in terms of sustained attrition.

Furthermore, he had already excluded Bao Liang from his plans when he formulated them. He originally thought that Bao Liang would immediately join the team and launch a burst of damage at the start, but now that he heard what he said, he was relieved.

After all, the opponent is Shrek. Plans are plans, but it's always good to play it safe.

The Shrek Team members, however, had the exact opposite idea.

With the Soul Tool Shield blocking the way, Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection Sharing would consume significantly more energy.

Without knowing how long Huo Yuhao could hold out, they had to act quickly and secure victory before the Spiritual Detection wore off!

"Attention both sides, the match has officially begun!"

With a command from referee Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo, the team battle officially began.

On the Sun Moon Team side, apart from Bao Liang, the others quickly pulled out a bunch of Soul Tool to arm themselves, but only Xiao Hongchen, Lin Xi, and Chen Fei used the Fortress Tactic.

Ma Rulong assigned them the task of cooperating with Xiao Hongchen to violently clear the field; the Fortress Tactic was naturally the most convenient way to crush weaker opponents.

Jiang Nannan, who had been assigned to delay them from the start, rushed out as soon as she saw them taking out their Soul Tool.

She didn't have much time to think. The assembly speed of the Fortress Tactic was extremely fast. The two metal pillars that Lin Xi and Chen Fei were holding, which were planted on the ground, immediately startled her.

Furthermore, since she knew nothing about Soul Tool, she immediately assumed that the other party was about to use the Fortress Tactic again.

According to the pre-match plan, she released her Martial Soul without thinking. The fluffy fur of the Soft Bone Rabbit stood up Teleportation, and she teleported to the front of the seven members of the Sun Moon Team.

And, to Immortality, Teleportation right in front of Bao Liang.

"Ah?"

Bao Liang was completely stunned to see Jiang Nannan dare to come up to him all by herself.

Sister, aren't you brave enough to do this?

How dare you, a mere Soul Ancestor, charge at us—four Soul Emperor and three Soul King? Who gave you the courage?

Is it Liang Jingru?

Although Bao Liang was still a little stunned, he did not hesitate at all. He decisively raised his foot and delivered a powerful front kick, hitting Jiang Nannan squarely in the chest and sending her back to Shrek's team.

He deliberately controlled his strength, otherwise he could have kicked Jiang Nannan Jiang Nannan a pulp.

Jiang Nannan was caught off guard because Jiang Nannan Liang attacked her Bao Liang his bare hands instead of using Soul Tool. She was kicked so hard that her sternum collapsed and she started coughing up blood.

"Oh no, I unconsciously used a little too much force again..."

Bao Liang touched his nose, looking a little embarrassed, but without a trace of guilt on his face.

Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection Sharing not only provided the Shrek Devils with an extremely powerful full-map advantage, but also allowed them to clearly see every single injury they sustained.

"Nannan!"

Seeing Jiang Nannan suffer such a severe injury, Xu Sanshi completely lost his mind.

He leaped forward and caught Jiang Nannan, not daring to use too much force, for fear of causing further injury to the person in his arms.

But the problem is... Shrek Academy doesn't have a single healing-type Soul Master!

Whether out of arrogance or ignorance, whether participating in Shrek Inspection Corps missions or the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, Shrek has never brought a single healing-type Soul Master, not even once.

But now...

Seeing Jiang Nannan in his arms vomiting blood continuously, with pieces of internal organs mixed in with the blood, and her breath growing weaker and weaker, Xu Sanshi was instantly filled with rage. His eyes turned bloodshot, and his teeth clenched so tightly they made a grinding sound.

Seeing that Xu Sanshi was about to lose control, Bei Bei hurriedly spoke up to the referee, her voice cracking. "Referee! Our Shrek's Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul student is out! Quickly take her to a healing-type Soul Master to save her life!"

Are you sure she's out now?

Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo had been brought in to act as referee, asked again. The pressure of Titled Douluo swept across the entire arena, and the originally noisy audience instantly fell silent.

There have been cases before where people were wrongly disqualified by the referee for faking their death to deceive others; as Titled Douluo, he cannot afford to make such a mistake.

"Confirmed! Please, referee, hurry and help!"

Upon receiving confirmation, Huang Jinxu gently used his Soul Power to take Jiang Nannan from Xu Sanshi and sent her to the medical team that had been brought over to provide treatment.

Watching Jiang Nannan being carried off the stage, and seeing her receive treatment and her injuries improve, Xu Sanshi immediately felt relieved.

But it was only a brief moment of relief.

Soon, his anger was reignited, and his sense of relief was instantly shattered by overwhelming hatred.

"Sun Moon Team... I'll kill you all!!!"
