The crowd watching the battle at the scene shouted for Shrek, which resounded throughout the Xingluo Square. The sound was so powerful that it soared into the sky.
The inner court disciples who had participated in the last Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition as a reserve team were fine, but when everyone in the reserve team faced such a situation and situation, their expressions changed.
Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of thousands of spectators, if Shrek Academy loses, it is impossible to imagine such a situation.
Beibei couldn't help lowering her voice and asked Wang Yan: "Teacher Wang, are you really going to let only Tianhuang play? Let the seven people from our reserve team play together, and only let Tianhuang take action, and the effect will be the same."
Yes, this can also provide an extra guarantee. After all, this is related to the honor of our Shrek Academy."
"Of course I have taken this into consideration." Wang Yan sighed softly.
"But Beibei, have you ever thought about it? This knockout round is a team battle, and there are seven opponents in total. It is inevitable to have range and long-range soul skills. As long as you appear on the stage, it is very likely that you will be affected. When the time comes, you will
It is inevitable that you will need to use soul power and martial arts to avoid it. When the time comes that you have shown your own cultivation level, Tianhuang will not be able to act as a deterrent. It will also make you, Sanshi and Caitou's injuries worse. This will be very important for what happens next.
The cycle is extremely unfavorable.”
"I have carefully analyzed your abilities. According to my arrangement, the three of you plus Tianhuang are the main players participating in the round-robin. The round-robin is different from the knockout round. Each group will have two to three strong teams.
As the champion of the last continental advanced soul master academy soul fighting competition, our Shrek Academy will not run into the previous runner-up, the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and any other academy is likely to compete with it.
We are divided into the same group. The round-robin competition is divided into individual competitions, team battles and two-two-three battles. The specific method to choose for competition is determined by a temporary draw. Tianhuang alone cannot do it. At this time,
We need your strength. So Beibei, you still have three stones, Caitou and the others can’t have any surprises. When the round robin begins, you must ensure that you are in the best condition."
"To put it bluntly, if this first round of knockout requires you, three stones, and vegetables to win, then even if you pass this first round of knockout, you won't be able to go far in the subsequent round-robin matches. Finally,
Believe in Tianhuang. His true strength is stronger than you think."
Although Wang Yan said this, he was also under tremendous pressure in his heart. Whether the undefeated myth of Shrek Academy can continue depends on Yu Tianhuang's battle against Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy.
But what really prompted him to make such an important decision was the fact that he had learned from Mr.
He has been devoted to studying martial arts, and he is very clear about the power of the original martial spirit. The second awakening of the silver-level original martial spirit can make the soul master's strength transcend a level.
In the trials for the core disciples of the Outer Academy, Yu Tianhuang defeated Beibei and Xu Sanshi whose personal strength was comparable to that of the Soul King. Coupled with the second awakening of the silver-level martial soul, he even had the strength to confront the Soul Emperor head-on.
After listening to Wang Yan's words, Beibei said nothing more. But his expression remained solemn. Looking at Xu Zihuang's tall and straight figure, he felt admiration from the bottom of his heart.
He was the only one carrying the honor of Shrek Academy. If it were him, he probably wouldn't be able to be so calm and decisive.
The rest of the reserve team had similar thoughts to Beibei.
Compared to the reserve team, the four Ma Xiaotao players on the main team had serious eyes.
Although they also have worries in their hearts, now that they have made such a choice, they will no longer question it.
Moreover, Yu Tianhuang's performance when facing the corpse explosion of the messenger of death has already demonstrated his strength to a certain extent.
At this time, a white-haired old man with a calm demeanor landed steadily in the center of the field.
The Star Luo Empire's preparations for this continent-wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition can be described as well-intentioned. The competition platform built specifically for this purpose under the Imperial City is one hundred meters long and five meters high. It is made entirely of hard materials.
It was repaired from huge granite.
There are one hundred and eight huge metal pillars erected around the competition stage. Of course, these are not decorations, but pieces of protective soul guides. When these one hundred and eight protective soul guides are combined, it will
A huge soul shield is formed to completely cover the entire competition stage. This prevents the soul skills from spilling out, destroying the Imperial City and Xingluo Square, or accidentally injuring the people present.
Behind every metal pillar stood a soul master of the soul king level. One hundred and eight soul kings jointly presided over the protection of the competition stage. The white-haired old man serving as the referee in the venue was a powerful soul saint level.
The fact that one Soul Saint and one hundred and eight Soul Kings were dispatched at once made people marvel at the generosity of the Star Luo Empire.
It is said that when the game progresses to the semi-finals and finals, there will be powerful people at the Title Douluo level appearing as referees.
The prime minister of the Xingluo Empire, representing Xu Jiawei, stood at the top of the imperial city, and the voice of injecting soul power once again spread throughout the square.
"Let us first invite the contestants from Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy to enter."
Hearing these words from the Prime Minister of the Star Luo Empire, Xu Zihuang stopped subconsciously. He originally thought that both teams were on stage at the same time. But after thinking about it, he could understand.
The Star Luo Empire definitely wants to give Shrek Academy enough pomp and show as the finale.
However, the area left for Shrek Academy was already wide, and Xu Zihuang took a few steps forward without appearing too prominent.
As soon as the sound that spread throughout the square subsided, in the middle of the contestant area, students from the Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy walked out with solemn expressions.
The person walking at the front was a slender young man with a stern face.
He is Shen Ce, the captain of the Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy, with the martial soul Thousand Strike Spear, a level 53 attack-type battle soul king. His temperament is very similar to that of Chen Zifeng, who has released his martial soul.
It exudes that extremely sharp aura.
However, the two people's control over martial arts is obviously not at the same level. When Chen Zifeng is not using martial arts, his sharp aura is restrained, while Shen Ce's temperament seems to be affected by his own martial arts.
Compared with the disciples in the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy, there is still a big gap between Shen Ce. But the gap does not negate his strength.
He is already a rare genius from their Thousand Spirits Advanced Soul Master Academy. Without relying on pills that squeeze potential to speed up cultivation, if he reaches the Soul King level before the age of twenty, he will have the opportunity to reach the realm of Titled Douluo in the future.
of.
Shen Ce has his own pride in his heart, but as proud as he is, he met Shrek Academy in the first round of the knockout round and felt very heavy.
On the Shrek Academy side, feeling the aura on Shen Ce's body, Dai Yueheng looked sideways at Chen Zifeng beside him.
"He seems to be the same type of soul master as you."
Chen Zifeng nodded.
"He should also be a weapon soul master. A weapon soul master's ability in a certain aspect is very outstanding, but his shortcomings are also obvious. But the premise must be that Tianhuang can suppress his most outstanding ability, or not let him use it.
Chance."
While they were talking, the other six participating students from Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy also appeared.
On the competition stage, as the captain, Shen Ce did not stand at the front, but stood in the center of everyone.
Behind him are two pretty girls. The two girls are easy to distinguish. The girl on the left has blue hair and a cold expression on her face. She is the same as Ling Luochen, who is in the main selection team of Shrek Academy.
a type.
She is the vice-captain of Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy, the main controlling soul master, and the Frost Bear Soul Master An Lengye.
There is another red-haired girl named Fei Yuyan, whose martial spirit is Blazing Tiger, and she is also a control-type soul master. An Lengye and her, one ice and one fire, together form the dual control of ice and fire.
The ones at the front were four tall male students. These four people came from the same sect and possessed a medium-to-high-level defensive martial spirit called Lingxi Shield.
This is a powerful team with all members having a cultivation level above level 40. The soul power levels of An Lengye and Fei Yuyan are above level 45.
"Now that the team members from the Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy have arrived, please give your warmest applause to the team members from the Shrek Academy, the first college in the mainland." The prime minister of the Star Luo Empire gave himself a very dignified appearance.
The voice became louder.
In fact, if Shrek Academy hadn't played in the first round, he wouldn't have come to host it in person.
The previous introduction to Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy was just in passing.
The students from the Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy just appeared. Although everyone present was in high spirits, most of the people who came to watch the battle were unfamiliar with them. After all, the Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy came from the Dou Ling Empire, and now
This is the home ground of the Star Luo Empire.
But when it was Shrek Academy's turn, there were endless cheers and applause, forming a sharp contrast. The name of Shrek Continent's No. 1 Academy has long been resounding throughout the continent. The people of the Star Luo Empire have great expectations for the country.
Maybe not all of the senior soul masters in the Academy know about it, but everyone has definitely heard of Daming from Shrek Academy.
The momentum was so huge that when Emperor Xu Jiawei of the Star Luo Empire announced the start of the competition, he didn't give in too much.
But then, the noisy Xingluo Square suddenly became dead silent, and then there were bursts of uproar.
Because among the students representing Shrek Academy, only one person made it to the competition stage.
He was a young man with an outstanding temperament. His smooth black mid-length hair fluttered in the wind, with a few strands of purple hair mixed in. There was no flaw in his delicate and handsome face, and his deep purple eyes had an indescribable nobility.
His air of aloofness seemed to be natural. It was as if he was originally supposed to be standing on the clouds, looking down on everyone.
When Xu Zihuang did this, it was not his own intention at the time. It was the result of everyone's discussion last night. Since he had decided to let him appear alone, he simply showed the arrogance that belongs to Shrek Academy.
"Damn it, Tianhuang's acting skills are so good?" Xu Sanshi's eyes widened with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Why do I feel that he is more like an emperor than the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire just now?"
This time, even Beibei, who always liked to quarrel with Xu Sanshi, fell silent. Xu Sanshi was by no means the only one who felt this way.
Looking at each other from a distance, the participating students from Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy had a greater reaction than Xu Sanshi.
What shocked them was not Xu Zihuang's top-notch looks and temperament, but why there was only one person from Shrek Academy participating in the competition?
Isn’t this a seven-on-seven team battle?
"What on earth does Shrek Academy want to do?! This guy?!" On the other side of the front row of the player area, the arrogance in Xiao Hongchen's eyes disappeared instantly, and he was about to go crazy.
His ability to become a member of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy was not only due to his strong strength and top talent, but also his outstanding mind.
But at this time, he couldn't figure out Shrek Academy's intention at all.
"This is the knockout round! Aren't Shrek Academy afraid of being eliminated in the first game and making a huge joke?!"
The sturdy young man standing at the front of the main selection team of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy also fixed his eyes on Xu Zihuang. He was extremely tall, with short hair, bright eyes, and an amazing sense of power bursting out of his body.
.
He is Ma Rulong, the captain of the main team of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, and the apparently strongest person on their side.
Not only Ma Rulong, but also other students from the main team and reserve team of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, and even the team leader, all frowned slightly and turned their attention to Xu Zihuang.
The only one who stood out from everyone was Meng Hongchen, who was beside Xiao Hongchen. Her ice-blue beautiful eyes were filled with light, and her thick eyelashes were stained with some water mist and trembled slightly.
Growing up, she had never lacked outstanding admirers, but Xu Zihuang was the first of the opposite sex whose appearance and temperament perfectly matched her aesthetics.
Even Xu Jiawei had a look of astonishment on his face, and then waved to the Prime Minister.
The prime minister on the side bowed respectfully to Xu Jiawei, then came to the top of the imperial city knowingly and reminded him loudly.
"Representative of Shrek Academy, please note that this is a team battle, not an individual competition."
Xu Zihuang did not raise his head to look at the prime minister standing at the top of the imperial city. Instead, he looked at Shen Ce who was standing across from him in the center of the participating students of Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy and said indifferently.
"I know this is a team fight. I mean, it's enough for me to participate in this team fight alone."
As soon as Xu Zihuang said this, everyone's emotions, which had calmed down a little, were once again aroused. The people standing in Xingluo Square watching the battle started talking about it.
"One versus seven? No way. Is Shrek really not afraid of losing? This boy looks less than fifteen years old."
"What are you thinking? How could Shrek Academy be eliminated in the first round? There must be an arrangement for doing so."
"It's also possible that they really don't take this Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy seriously."
"It truly deserves to be the number one college in mainland China!"
"..."
If other senior soul master academies had said this, they would definitely be considered too arrogant.
But Shrek Academy, which has carried countless honors, is different. The reputation of Shrek Academy does bring heavy responsibilities and burdens to everyone, but the glory of Shrek Academy is also the most powerful weapon.
Public opinion instantly became one-sided.
Shen Ce and others, who represented the Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy in the competition, looked a little unhappy as they listened to countless spectators belittling their academy's change of direction.
But as the captain, Shen Ce did not feel too angry because of this, but felt a strong fighting spirit in his heart.
Let me test how strong your Shrek Academy really is.
On the Shrek Academy side, Ma Xiaotao burst out laughing.
"This brat really acted like that."
Xu Sanshi nodded with deep understanding and said sourly.
"I really don't know what Tianhuang is not good at. Ever since I met him, I have almost become unconfident."
Beibei caught a glimpse of the focused gazes from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, her lazy smile appeared on her face again, and she rolled her eyes at Xu Sanshi.
"It sounds like you have something that makes you confident. If you can compare to Tianhuang in one thing, Nannan won't look down on you at all."
"You know nothing! That's because--" Xu Sanshi blushed and choked to Beibei. But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a blushing Jiang Nannan.
"you shut up!"
Jiang Nannan was so frightened that Xu Sanshi shivered and quickly shut his mouth.
Seeing how Xu Sanshi looked like a doormat, everyone couldn't help but find it a little funny, and their nervousness eased a lot.
However, when you look at the participating students from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy at Shrek Academy from time to time, it looks like a different scene.
"What an arrogant Shrek." Xiao Hongchen narrowed his eyes and looked at the competition stage again.
"Let me see what your confidence is?"
The prime minister, who received Xu Jiawei's permission, nodded to the referee, who mobilized his soul power and said in a deep voice.
"Both sides push to both sides of the field and listen to my instructions to start the game. Before I announce the start, no one is allowed to release their martial arts in advance, otherwise they will be directly sentenced to lose."
The two sides distanced themselves, and the referee standing in the center of the field slowly raised his right hand. The Xingluo Square filled with spectators instantly fell silent.
They all had the same idea as Xiao Hongchen and wanted to know where Shrek Academy's confidence in being one against seven came from.
Hundreds of thousands of eyes in the audience were all focused on Xu Zihuang.
"The game begins!" the referee shouted.
The participating students from Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy, who still maintained the same formation as before, released their martial spirits almost at the same time.
The four Lingxi Shield Soul Masters standing in front were all glowing with dark yellow light. Due to the release of their martial spirits, the muscles on their already exceptionally majestic bodies bulged crazily. The surface of their skin was covered with a layer of dark yellow.
of brilliance.
The biggest change was in their right arm. The muscles on the forearm seemed to be crawling, growing a shield that was also dark yellow. The shield was covered with thick horny layers.
Four shields with a diameter of one meter were like copper and iron walls, blocking the backs of Shen Ce and the others.
The martial souls of An Lengye and Feiyu Yanshi were beast martial souls, but their bodies did not show the changes caused by the possession of beast soul masters. Instead, an ice-blue head appeared in front of them.
A frost bear and a fiery tiger with black markings.
But the one with the most obvious surge in momentum is Shen Ce, the captain.
He opened his arms and made a gesture of hugging. Immediately afterwards, a dazzling silver light shone and rose from behind him.
A silver-colored spear with two heads and two heads appeared in the silver light and fell steadily into his right hand. Rising from his feet were five soul rings, two yellow and three purple, and then surrounded
Slowly moving on the Thousand Strike Spear.
As a strong man at the Soul King level, Shen Ce's momentum after releasing his martial soul was already astonishing. But on this competition stage, he still had to be suppressed by Xu Zihuang.
purple!
purple!
purple!
black!
I saw four soul rings that far exceeded conventional understanding, appearing next to Xu Zihuang one after another. With each soul ring appearing, the crowd's exclamations were heard one after another.
The violent soul power suddenly swept over.
What shocked everyone present was not Xu Zihuang's soul sect level cultivation, but the weird soul ring ratio.
The continent's advanced soul master academy soul fighting competition has been going on for tens of thousands of years, and I have never heard of anyone whose first soul ring is at the thousand-year level.
Among the one hundred and eight soul kings who presided over the soul guidance shield, there were also a few who reacted half a beat. As a result, the soul guidance shield was delayed in taking shape.
Xu Zihuang's golden golden boy has a halo of strange and obscure lines in the center of the boy's hole.
Shen Ce was the first to react and reminded loudly: "He is just a soul sect, don't mess up your position!"
Although he was also surprised by the ratio of Xu Zihuang's soul rings.
"It is indeed the Shrek Academy that claims to cultivate monsters. But if you want to face our complete team with Soul Sect cultivation, you are looking down on us too much."
Shen Ce was the first to react, but it was An Lengye who was the first to activate his soul skill.
Under her control, the Frost Bear strode forward with its head held high, and the two yellow soul rings around it lit up at the same time.
As a control soul master, how could An Lengye gain the upper hand in front of Xu Zihuang?
A luxurious purple halo bloomed from Xu Zihuang's second soul ring, and Xu Zihuang's eyes focused. The next moment, strange dark red ripples enveloped the entire place.
"The second soul skill, Mirror Destruction."
A calm voice sounded. Including Shen Ce, the seven students participating in the Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy were, without exception, wrapped in a thick layer of dark red crystal.
The sharp-edged dark red crystal reflects a brilliant halo of light, like a mirror.
The original scene of silence was repeated again.
Instant kill?
Everyone present was stunned for a moment, and then the whole place burst into cheers that echoed throughout the sky.
"Shrek!"
"Shrek!"
"..."
Countless spectators' faces turned red and their excitement was palpable.
Xu Zihuang completely explained here the reason why Shrek is called the No. 1 Academy in the Mainland. A soul sect instantly killed six students of the Qianling Senior Soul Master Academy who were also soul sects with one move, and even
There is a soul king.
How could this not make their blood boil?
It lasted for one or two seconds before Shen Ce broke free from the dark red crystal. The first three of the five soul rings on the Thousand Strike Spear flashed one after another. He held the Thousand Strike Spear with an extremely ugly face.
The other person who broke free was An Lengye. An icy blue halo shone on her smooth and white forehead. This strange fluctuation of soul power allowed many knowledgeable soul masters present to see the mystery.
There is no doubt that An Lengye possesses a head soul bone. But even with the power of the head soul bone, she was able to break away a little slower than Shen Ce.
As for the other five participating students from the Qianling Advanced Soul Master Academy, they have yet to break through the dark red crystal.
Xu Zihuang's second soul skill is a powerful natal soul skill that he first escaped from the evil killer whale, and later relied on the original power provided by Tianmeng Ice Silkworm to last for five thousand years.
With his current cultivation level, it would be difficult for a soul master of the same level to break free on his own unless his spirit was particularly powerful or he had special means. An Lengye only managed to break free by relying on the power of his soul bones.
The reason why Xu Zihuang's second soul skill was not too powerful was simply because the opponents he faced before were too powerful.
The Ten Thousand-year-old Man-Faced Demon Spider, Xu Sanshi and Beibei who used the Awakening of the Holy Dragon Bloodline and the Xuanwu Bloodline, as well as the inner court disciples of Shrek Academy.
At this time, facing these relatively ordinary soul masters from the Thousand Spirits Advanced Soul Master Academy, the power of Mirror Destruction was fully demonstrated.
The expression on Xu Zihuang's face did not change at all, as if he had just done an insignificant thing.
He fiddled with the purple hair that rested on the bridge of his nose with his right hand, and his cold and noble eyes fell on Shen Ce.
"I'll give you one last chance to use your strongest attack method. I hope you won't let me down."
The host soul kings moved a little slower, and the soul shield had not yet completely wrapped around the competition stage. The audience fell silent again because Shen Ce and An Lengye broke through Xu Zihuang's soul skills one after another.
Although Xu Zihuang's voice was not loud at this time, it was clearly heard in everyone's ears.
This sentence sounded arrogant, but everyone just took it for granted, and their hearts surged with excitement.
Just witnessing today's game is worth the trip. Shrek is still Shrek, it is a mountain that is difficult for any senior soul master or soul master academy to overcome.
On the Shrek Academy side, all the inner courtyard disciples were also shocked by Xu Zihuang's methods.
Wang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes filled with relief.
It seems that Tianhuang has completely understood my intention. Only in this way can the deterrent effect of this battle be maximized.
Because of the frustration in his heart, Shen Ce was much calmer now. He raised his head and looked at his girlfriend An Lengye beside him, and An Lengye also cast an encouraging look at Shen Ce.
"I regret a little now that I didn't take the Shrek Academy entrance examination."
Shen Ce took a deep breath, and when he looked at Xu Zihuang again, the frustration in his eyes had been replaced by calmness.
"Shrek Academy is indeed something we can't compete with. But now, I want to know how big the gap is between us."
After saying these words, the purple fifth soul ring on his Thousand Strikes Spear suddenly shone, and bright silver flames began to overflow from the Thousand Strikes Spear that was densely covered with inscriptions.
Xu Zihuang's response was also very simple, stretching his right hand forward.
A dark red crystal spear that was identical to the Thousand Strike Spear in Shen Ce's hand began to condense in his hand.
Immediately following, the profound fourth ten thousand year soul ring lit up.
The bright golden flame danced on the tip of the spear, and Xu Zihuang also imitated Shen Ce and made a throwing motion.
Shen Ce shrank, but at this critical moment, he had no choice. He shouted suddenly and threw the Thousand Strike Spear at Xu Zihuang.
At the same moment, the dark red crystal spear flew out from Xu Zihuang's hand.
In an instant, the golden flames and silver flames at the tips of the two spears touched together, and they moved like water waves, with bright gold and bright silver clearly distinguishable.
"boom--"
A violent roar sounded, and the extremely sharp aura emanating from the two spears seemed to tear the space apart.
The impact of the soul power caused the dark red crystals on the bodies of Qianling Senior Soul Master and the other five people to show signs of cracking.
The referee reacted and quickly waved his right hand, using his strong soul power to send the five people off the field.
And at this moment, the brilliant gold submerged the brilliant silver.
The dark red crystal spear condensed by Xu Zihuang knocked away Shen Ce's Thousand Strike Spear, and then swept past Shen Ce's cheek with unabated momentum, and hit the soul guide array hard, causing waves of ripples.
It lasted for several seconds before all the momentum was exhausted. Finally, under Xu Zihuang's control, it turned into debris all over the sky.
The broken crystal shards are like scattered fine snow, like a silent hymn.
