A cold glint flashed in Xiao Muhong's eyes as he lowered his voice and said, "do you know that mysterious boy's name?"
"I've already investigated that boy. He's called Tang jay, but that's all I know. He doesn't exist in the data we have on Shrek Academy."
Xiao muhong nodded and laughed coldly before speaking. "It's hard to say whether Shrek Academy can enter the finals with their present situation. Leader, I'm afraid we won't be able to beat such a rubbish team if they continue deploying their team only!"
Ma An's face sank. "Xiao muhong, shut your bloody mouth. I'm still the captain of Sun Moon Imperial Academy's representative team. You can insult yourself, but before you truly beat Shrek's strongest representative team, you have no right to insult your opponent."
A powerful aura suddenly surged out from Ma an's body. Xiao muhong staggered back as he felt the oppressive aura. His younger sister immediately stood up, brazenly exuding a severely sharp aura. She was about to counter Ma an with force.
Xiao muhong stretched his arm out and blocked his younger sister. A hint of a smile formed on his face. "Yes, leader. I was in the wrong. But I will prove everything to you with my actions in time. I will take your place, and that of all the seniors from previous generations who wanted to defeat Shrek Academy in trampling them under my feet."
...
Sea God's Pavilion, Shrek Academy.
"I Hope, Xu yunhao is okay at the Sun and Moon continent?". Yi Zichen sounded worried.
"They're fighting for Shrek's glory. We must have faith in them. It was wonderful to see Xu Yunhao's talent. besides, the new Shrek seven will be the ones sitting in the Sea God's Pavilion in the future." Wang Tianyue proudly said.
Yi zichen smiled faintly. "I have full trust, but I am unable to think about the opponent's they are facing. this is the first time I have seen seven ultimate rangers that leveled up faster and became more than a Spirit sage. besides, there is a Douluo in our team, hahaha. they are all really true prodigies ."
"All we can do is wait."
...
Early in the morning.
The team assembled in the conference room after breakfast. They were all full of spirit and energy after resting up yesterday. Their energy, spirit, and Qi were all at their peak. However, their faces didn't bear relaxed expressions, but rather ones that were slightly grave.
Their match today would inevitably be their toughest match in the Continental Advanced Academy Soul Dueling Tournament so far. They had to confront a strong team led by three Soul Kings without a single Soul King on their team. They didn't even have anyone above Rank 45 on their team!
Even though Wang Liu know that the team is stronger than the other teams, he also worried about their usage of power decisive spirits. Like in the last battle.
Wang Liu looked at Tang jay, Ying Yue, Xu Tanyue, Jaio long, Li min, li yan, and Zhang Wei, who were all sitting in a row. His gaze swept from the first individual to the very last person in the row.
"Dearest Children, the crucial battle is about to begin. I believe that it's impossible for any other academy to have students that are superior to you guys at this age. that the next match will be a team battle again. I know your hearts must definitely be bursting with energy to win this match. However, victory is nothing compared to your safety."
"I am so sorry guys, at that situation, I can't command our team well and I messed up all my plans, so..," Tang jay was trying to apologize, suddenly
"you made the right choice as the captain, besides did you see the attacks that you and Ying Yue pulled of, it was so cool. and the attacks that we all battled like a team, it was fun. so, whatever happens, you are our captain and never apologize, we all did great." The team cheered him on.
"The tournament stage is nothing but a stage for you guys to display yourselves, and nothing else. You guys are only going on a relaxing journey." Wang Liu sounded to ease the team up a little.
Wang Liu spoke every word with the utmost sincerity. He was entirely certain that other teachers accompanying their teams to the Continental Advanced Academy Soul Dueling Tournament definitely wouldn't tell their students not to be afraid of losing. Nor would they take the initiative to bring their students' fighting spirit down. Yet, Wang Liu was doing just that now.
However, he could clearly see the raging flames burning in everyone's eyes.
Wang Liu inhaled deeply and stood up before speaking in a low tone. "Let's go, children. It's time we relax."
Tang jay didn't know how the others felt. All he knew was that his blood was burning in his body. There was no fear or worry in him, for he only wished to fight for Shrek Academy, and would do anything he could to uphold their glory. If burning his blood could increase his strength, he would do it without giving it a second thought.
It'd been more than five years since he'd entered Shrek Academy. He'd formed friendships he had never had in his life before and received tender loving care from the whole academy. One could say that he had learned more in this year than he had in his last decade. He'd already fallen deeply in love with this academy and every single one of his comrades by his side.
He would do anything he could for the academy. That was his lifelong hope, just like how he hadn't hesitated in making his decision to become a guardian. He needed to defend Shrek Academy's glory now. In his heart, this in itself was already glory in its own right. How could Wang Liu's words dispel his fighting spirit for this glory and Shrek's glory? His heart was burning, and his blood was boiling. There was no sense of failure in his heart, only the glory accompanying victory.
The others all had the same expression in their eyes as Tang jay. The match today was inevitably going to be the most difficult one, yet it was similarly the one time their cohesion was the strongest. The seven monsters were all of one heart. At this moment, they truly considered themselves to be Shrek's Seven Monsters.
They left the Royal guest house and headed toward the simulator for diving into the Arena. They could feel the firmness of the earth with every step they took, just like the unyielding conviction they had at this very moment.
They have to win, win, win!
The atmosphere in the arena was still as riled up as before. Shrek Academy was going to appear again today. What surprises would they bring to the audience?
In all of the three matches Shrek Academy had appeared in before, one could say that every match had brought different stunning surprises to the audience. Tang Jay was mysterious, Zhang Wei had an impeccable defense, and the seemingly disorderly team actually had gorgeous coordination. Every single battle had left a lasting impression on the audience.
Even though the audience also found it very strange that Shrek Academy had deployed so many students who only had four soul rings, they didn't give it too much thought, since Shrek had always emerged victorious.
