(commentary)
"The third match and the second team bout of Shrek academy were to happen with the only academy that can defeat Shrek academy at least once, the academy already defeated Shrek academy in the last spirit master completion that was held three years ago. the academy from the Star Luo continent, Monster academy, and their team, Eight Heavenly Kings.
let's welcome the teams to our battlefield.
On my left is the 'Eight Heavenly Kings.' (audience cheering)
On my right, the 'Shrek seven devils'. (audience cheering)
"The first round of the knockout round is a team fight." The referee said solemnly, "Both parties can use a large majority of their soul tools during the fight. However, if one party admits defeat during the course of the fight, the other party cannot continue attacking. Soul engineers cannot use stationary soul tools which have a high degree of killing power. Do you understand?"
"Understood." Tang jay calmly took the initiative to respond.
The leader of the Dai muyen,Start luo imperial Academy's team was a slender youth who looked around twenty. Among the seven they were pit against, his expression was rather ordinary. He responded as well, following Tang jay.
Although they were only fighting against Shrek Academy's new team, it was just as Wang Liu had said. Shrek's reputation in itself was a powerful weapon. As they looked at the menacing gazes of Tang jay's seven, the students from the Start luo imperial Soul Academy felt even weaker.
The referee bot said, "Good. Both parties, move back to your corners. Once I give the command, the battle will start."
Both parties started to slowly widen the distance between them. As they retreated,Tang jay turned around and whispered, "Later, everyone stand according to my arrangements. After that, fight by following my Spiritual Detection."
Over on the other side, the Star luo academy's team were taking a very defensive formation. Quickly, both parties arrived at the edges of the arena.
The referee bot flying at the center of the arena slowly raised its right hand. At this moment, the arena filled with several hundreds of thousands of people instantly quieted down. Every single spectator was staring at the spacious stage with their eyes wide.
This was the second round of the tournament, as well as the second knockout round. Moreover, it was a match that had the continent's number one academy participating! Shrek Academy's participants were very young, but they still carried the glory of Shrek with them. Everybody wished to see what they could do.
The hundred and eight metal pillars lit up simultaneously, causing rays of white light to surge into the sky. They carved out arcs as they gathered in midair, twenty meters above the stage.
A hundred and eight rays of light were gathered together, signifying that the Continental Advanced Academy Soul Duelling Tournament was about to begin.
Over on the Star luo Academy's side, the seven people quickly arranged themselves into a traditional battle formation. Three soul masters stood at the very front of the formation, and the fact that they were either assault or defense-type soul masters could be seen with a glance. The two soul masters who stood slightly behind them should be agility-type soul masters. The last of the soul masters stood in a single line, one in front and one in the back, and according to the traditional layout, it was clear that they were respectively control-type and auxiliary-type soul masters.
Tang jay had already planned to use a strategy to make the battle go smoothly.
This was the best seven-man formation that had been devised after countless battles. If they were focused on attacking, the three people in front would be assault-type soul masters; if they were focused on defense and stability, there would be one or two defense-type soul masters.
A traditional formation like this one was called the 3-2-1-1 formation.
However, not many people were currently looking at the Star Luo Academy team. Practically everyone was focused on Shrek. Furthermore, they involuntarily cried out in surprise due to the scene in front of them. The ones who cried out the loudest were actually the hundred-plus Advanced Academies that were participating in the tournament. This was because Shrek Academy had revealed a formation that they were simply unable to comprehend.
Tang jay stood at the very front of the formation, and his still-infantile face was currently filled with an arrogant look. On the other hand, the six people behind him maintained a fan-shaped formation behind him, making it seem as though the stars were cupping themselves around the moon. As a result, he was made the most prominent of the lot.
What was this formation even called?
The Advanced Academies that could participate in this tournament all had a certain amount of reputation within the continent. They had each conducted research into military strategy with regards to soul masters, but not a single academy had ever created a formation like this one.
A formation like this made it seem as though the other six were just there to cheer for Tang jay, as if they were letting him go out and fight by himself. This was an incomprehensible scene! After sending out its preparatory team, Shrek Academy was giving everyone another surprise.
The host of every single tournament was an Continent, and this was also a time where the various countries were able to reveal their strength to the outstanding elites coming from the various academies. Naturally, they would do everything to the best of their abilities. However, even this referee had never seen a formation like this in a team fight before! He even forgot to put down the right hand that he had lifted earlier.
"Referee, we can start now." Tang jay said to the refereebot in an extremely unperturbed manner.
The Referee bot swung down his right hand, then shouted, "Match, start!" No matter what formation they were using, all he needed to do was ensure that the match went smoothly.
Following the referee's shout, both parties simultaneously released their martial souls.
The seven from the Star luo Academy couldn't be considered weak at all; their soul rings were mainly comprised of yellow and purple ones, and flashed with dazzling light. Of the seven, five of them had four soul rings, while the other two had three soul rings. The four soul rings of the youth who led the pack flickered dazzlingly. Clearly, he had already reached the later stages of the Soul Ancestor rank. Reaching a stage like this at the mere age of twenty was relatively decent.
However, simply nobody would pay attention to the state of the Start luo Academy at this moment. All of the spectators were focused on Shrek Academy's side. More accurately, they were all focused on Tang jay, who was taking large strides forward.
Each member of the Shrek seven devils lighted out their Spirit rings and showed their ranks.
The opponents wasn't expecting them to be above level 75+
At this exact moment, an indescribable yet terrifying aura impressively appeared on the tall stage.
In that instant, a blood-colored light lit up the entire tournament stage. Filled with icy, cruel, slaughtering, berserk, and other types of terrifying auras, it suddenly exploded out…
