Elephant Armor Academy

The referee raised his arm and swung it down sharply, announcing, "The match begins!"

Elephant Armor Academy didn't rush in. The seven of them stepped forward simultaneously, their steps as synchronized as one, like a moving stone wall, pressing towards Shrek step by step.

With each step they took, the ring trembled slightly. They were compressing the space, not in a hurry to attack—waiting until Shrek was forced to the edge of the ring before swarming in.

Oscar quickly pulled out a handful of Mushroom Sausage. Tang San took one, took a bite, and then a pair of semi-transparent wings unfolded on his back, allowing him to take off first. Tai Long and Ma Hongjun also swallowed them and followed closely behind.

The remaining people did not catch the Mushroom Sausage. Tang San were in mid-air, with the Blue Silver Grass hanging from their palms. Several vines precisely wrapped around the waists of Huang Yuan, Jing Ling, Oscar, and Wang Xingyu, steadily carrying them into the sky.

Wang Xingyu's Blue Silver Grass simultaneously extended, wrapping around Tang San's waist and securing them together.

In the blink of an eye, all seven members of the Shrek Seven Devils were lifted off the ground and suspended in mid-air.

Huyan Li looked up at the seven Shrek Seven Devils hovering in mid-air, his brows furrowing slightly before relaxing. "Flying? No problem. Unless you can stay airborne indefinitely, once you land, this arena will be ours, hahahaha."

Oscar picked his nose in mid-air, sobbing, "Waaah, I'm so excited!" Then he pulled out a mysterious little snack and flicked it at Huyan Li, "Third Brother, Xingyu, let's get him!"

Huyan Li saw something bounce towards him, "Ha, trying to attack again!"

Take a bite right away!

"Pah, what is that?"

Oscar looked shocked! "No, you caught my mysterious little snack with your mouth?"

"Ugh!"

The reason why the Grandmaster arranged for Tang San and Wang Xingyu to fight at the same time was very simple— the Diamond Mammoth of the Elephant Armor Academy had super strong defense and was not weak in attack, but for Tang San and Wang Xingyu, these bulky giants were live targets. With the Blue Silver Grass spread out, they couldn't even dodge it.

"Good!"

Tang San's Second Soul Ring lit up, and Blue Silver Grass poured down from his palm. The Offshoot activated—one root became two, two roots became four, and four roots became eight.

The vines surged down from mid-air, covering the formation of the Elephant Armor Academy like a giant net being woven.

They wrapped around their ankles, knees, waists, and arms, each vine possessing the metallic resilience of Iron Thorn Vine, making a fine, creaking sound as they tightened against the Diamond Mammoth's horny skin.

At the same time, Wang Xingyu activated his Second Soul Skill, Flying Fluff. The silvery-white dandelion seeds scattered and attached themselves to each of Tang San's vines, continuously replenishing his energy.

Immediately afterwards, his Third Soul Ring lit up— Symbiosis Transfer. He completely transferred the effect of his First Soul Skill, Life Drain, to Tang San.

Now, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass can not only strangle, but also absorb Soul Power.

The vines tightened even more. The members of the Elephant Armor Academy exerted their strength simultaneously, trying to break all the vines with brute force.

But as soon as one branch breaks, two more grow back, and then another breaks and they grow back again, until the arena is covered with Blue Silver Grass, like a living ocean.

Their Diamond Mammoth defense could block swords, but it couldn't stop this relentless drain—every vine was drawing away their Soul Power.

Huyan Li's breathing became heavy. His Soul Power was visibly draining away. He looked up at the Shrek team members flying leisurely in mid-air, then at the sea of vines in front of him, and a vein throbbed on his forehead.

He gritted his teeth and said, "But even though you're absorbing our Soul Power, you're also expending a lot of energy yourself, aren't you? Let's see who can last longer!"

Wang Xingyu hovered in mid-air, the Blue Silver Grass clinging to Tai Long, Huang Yuan, and Jing Ling. He smiled down at them, "Sorry, I have a power bank."

Oscar chimed in, "You guys are definitely the first to give up—because I Have a Big Sausage!" He flipped his hands, and two Recovery Big Sausage appeared in his palms. He stuffed one into Tang San's and Wang Xingyu's mouths, "Hee hee hee!"

The host's voice echoed throughout the venue once again, "A visual feast! It's practically an ocean of Blue Silver Grass! Shrek Academy has surprised us again—it seems this will be a long battle, let's see which side gives up first!"

Huyan Li gritted his teeth. "Damn it, this can't go on." He turned to his teammates and yelled, "Looks like we have to use the trick we used against the Godwind Academy ahead of schedule—set up the turrets!"

Several members of the Elephant Armor exerted their strength simultaneously, and the shockwave of their Soul Power temporarily cleared a small area of the surrounding Blue Silver Grass. Before the vines could close up again, the group quickly changed formation, their bodies interlocking, and in the blink of an eye, they formed a humanoid turret.

Hu Yanli gripped his teammate's waist tightly Huyan Li both arms, and with a sudden burst of power from his waist and abdomen, he launched a member of the Elephant Armor into the air, where his body spun rapidly like a cannonball.

"Mammoth Spiral Bullet! Hahaha, let's see how you defend against this!"

Ma Hongjun puffed out his chest. "It's my turn to make my appearance!" His Fourth Soul Ring lit up, and he unleashed Phoenix Roaring Sky Strike. At the same time, his Second Soul Skill, Bathing Fire Phoenix Reborn in Fire, enveloped his entire body in a fireball and crashed directly into the target.

The two beams of light collided violently in mid-air. Sparks flew and the shockwave scattered the surrounding Blue Silver Grass. The Elephant Armor team member was sent flying backward and crashed heavily onto the arena. Ma Hongjun was also thrown back by the recoil and fell from mid-air, landing right on the edge of the arena.

Huyan Li's eyes lit up. "If you fall onto the arena, let's see how you run! Unless you can fly, but I've already figured it out, you guys were only flying because of that assist!"

Ma Hongjun stood up from the edge of the ring, dusted himself off, and grinned, "How did you know I could fly, Brother Jun?"

His Third Soul Ring lit up, Phoenix Wings Soaring —a pair of fiery wings unfurled from his back, and he rose into the air once more. He proudly gestured with his Huyan Li towards Huyan Li, "Don't envy me, I'm just a legend."

The surrounding audience erupted in cheers. Suddenly, someone shouted, "Isn't that the handsome guy from the Blue Tyrant Academy who freeloads?!" Immediately afterward, another audience member realized who it was and yelled, "You fatso! Give me back my ice cream! Give me back my feelings!"

Ma Hongjun stumbled in mid-air, his fiery wings nearly extinguished, and he swayed and fell several meters before barely regaining his balance. His lips twitched, and he pretended not to hear, raising his chin even higher.

Huyan Li was completely at a loss. He glanced at his teammates—everyone's breathing was getting heavier and heavier, and the Diamond Mammoth's keratinous skin was covered with fine cracks.

He had already depleted nearly a third of his Soul Power, while his opponent was still in the air. He gritted his teeth, hoping that his opponent's Soul Power would give out first, or that damned flight time would run out first.

With almost a minute remaining, the translucent wings on the Shrek team members' backs noticeably faded, their edges beginning to shimmer. Huyan Li felt a surge of joy—almost there! As long as they landed, he still had his Soul Bone, and a chance to turn the tide.

Then he saw Oscar pull out another handful of Mushroom Sausage and stuff them into his teammates' mouths. The seven of them were once again firmly suspended in the air.

Huyan Li looked at the sea of Blue Silver Grass and the Shrek Seven Devils flying in the air, and fell silent.

He raised his hands, "I give up."
