Shrek Academy was once again the first team to take the stage. On the other hand, their upcoming opponents had easily obtained their victories so far during the round-robin tournament, and this even included the Thousand Spirits Academy that the Shrek's team had faced previously. After all, this team was one that had entered the previous quarterfinals.
Everyone in the audience thought this match would be a powerful confrontation between the two teams due to their previous performances. Naturally, there were differences even among the strong. In the eyes of everyone present, Shrek wasn't on the same level as all of the other academies present; it was an existence akin to that of a sovereign. However, they all wished for Shrek's opponents to be a little stronger, so as to allow them to watch a more interesting fight.
Shrek's seven combatants were now at their peak condition as they entered the resting area. Now, all they needed to do was wait for the start of the match.
The members of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy once again arrived in the arena. There was no doubt that they were still trying to observe Shrek's overall strength.
Mu An couldn't help but furrow his brows as he saw the same seven people from Shrek walkout. He was very confident in his own judgement, The winner of the match is already decided.
A light flickered through his eyes, and Ma An was nearly lost confidence in himself. that their team can win against them or not.
As time passed second by second,
The Emperor of the Sun and moon emporer came to the simulation escorted by his ministers. He didn't sit down but instead chose to walk directly towards the resting area to spectate the match.
When he saw that Shrek's Seven Monsters had come, he was slightly stunned. Astonished, he muttered to himself, "What is Tang Yunhao doing? That can't be! why is he this angry? I hope that they're truly talents who fear no trials."
As he spoke, he seemed to recall a few things, and muttered to himself, "Tang jay, seventeen years old. Ying Yue, seventeen years old. Xu tanyue, Fifteen years old. None of the others is older than Eighteen years old either. It's no wonder they're little monsters that come from Shrek!. I hope my daughter and her team win this tournament and I have to ask Tang yunhao about his parent, it looks like my daughter is acting so in love with him, but that idiot already has a girlfriend, Tang yunhao calls her a sister, huh... what am I thinking, let's go"
It was extremely easy for him to look into a few things as the emporer. He had been greatly interested in Shrek's team, and he too wanted to see just how far these youngsters could go, and what they could do.
The referee bot took the stage and used the sound-amplifying his voice outwards.
"This is the first match of the third round of the round-robin tournament. Both sides, take your positions. May the representative teams of Shrek Academy and Justsky Academy enter their waiting areas. Team leaders, come up to the stage to draw your lots for the tournament format."
That was right. Today, Shrek Academy had to face the Justsky Advanced Soul Academy. Just sky Academy was identical to Shrek Academy in the sense that they both came from the Heavenly Soul planet, but unlike Shrek, which didn't belong to any empire, Justsky Academy was a famous academy from the Heavenly Soul Empire that had produced a large number of talents.
The Empire that insisted most on maintaining traditional soul masters and rejecting soul engineers within the continent's four empires was the Heavenly Soul Empire. Because of that, Justsky Academy was actually even more insistent towards pure soul masters than Shrek Academy. They simply didn't even have a division for soul engineers; they only nurtured soul masters. Regardless of whether they would be washed away in the future, Justsky Academy was currently still a notable academy that was considered powerful throughout the continent.
The team leader of Justsky Academy was a youth of around twenty or so, and his handsome looks were comparable to even those of tang jay.
Wang Liu had talked about this very team leader of Justsky Academy, and he had had a very high opinion of him. This person had never made an appearance since the start of the tournament, and as a result, Wang Liu had only been able to obtain a bit of information about him after much hard work.
Ye qing, nineteen. A very talented person from Justsky Academy, and the leader of their representative team. His martial soul was the Golden Leaf, and he was a Rank 66 assault-type soul master who was extremely powerful. He had already represented Justsky Academy as a member of the official team in the last tournament, and now he was the cornerstone of his current team.
If it just so happened that he had turned twenty this year, there would've been a very high chance of him breaking through to Rank 70, becoming Justsky Academy's first-ever Soul sage to participate in the Continental Advanced Academy Soul Duelling Tournament.
If that had been the case, Justsky Academy would've formally joined the ranks of the top-ranked academies.
Ye qing's physique wasn't too different from Zhang Wei's. Unlike Zhang Wei's scholarliness, however, he had a much colder disposition. A cold light flickered through his eyes as he looked at Zhang Wei.
The aura Zhang wei was comparatively much stronger than Ye qing's. It wasn't just a matter of cultivation, but due to their ages. After all, the nineteen-year-old Ye qing had already matured, while the eighteen-year-old Zhang wei was still a youth.
Tang jay had a smile on his face as their gazes met, but his eyes were extremely resolute and focused; Ye qing's gaze was like a sharp blade that wanted to find a hole in his body and pierce through it.
The referee bot said in a low voice, "Lot-drawing, start. May both parties act as a witness to this."
Wang Liu was already nervously clutching his armrests as he sat in the waiting area. He inwardly prayed for a team fight. One could say that all of his plans had been based around a team fight. Furthermore, that was the only way they had a chance of winning! Conversely, they wouldn't have a single chance if they didn't get a team fight!
While everyone waited for the results of the lot-drawing with bated breaths, the outcome of the lot-drawing finally came out at this moment.
Even Tang jay, who was burning with fighting intent, instantly had a change in expression after seeing the outcome of the lot-drawing. This time, luck hadn't sided with Shrek; this result was what they didn't wish to see the most. as it was a pain in the butt to defeat them easily.
The referee said bot in a loud voice, "The match between Shrek Academy and Justsky Academy will be held as a 2-2-3 match. In other words, we will have two 2v2 matches before a 3v3 match. Two out of three victories are sufficient to win the whole match, so if a side wins both of the 2v2 matches, the 3v3 match will be cancelled. May both team leaders step down and make their preparations."
Wang Lu felt his head buzz for a moment before going blank the instant he saw that they had drawn the 2-2-3 lot. He instantly wanted to see them beaten up faces of the justsky academy
Tang jay's footsteps were clearly stiffer as he walked back. The expressions of the other six of Shrek's Seven Monsters became gloomy. There was already no use in battling them easily a couple more times. The reason why Wang Liu hadn't made any preparations for the other two tournament formats was simply, that opponents had no chance of winning in them at all.
"Guys, listen to me." WangLiu gritted his teeth and stood up, a sincere look in his eyes as he looked at the Shrek's Seven Monsters in front of him. "have fun"
At this moment, Tang jay's normal aura suddenly turned into a powerful one; it seemed as if he could control everyone seated in the waiting area. His current gaze was clearly much more concentrated than usual, and any traces of laziness had completely vanished. It was as though a sleeping lion that was filled with unrivalled tyranny had been awakened.
Wang Liu, suddenly felt that Tang jay's eyes were very terrifying as if they could swallow a man whole. He could even see the fighting intent that was burning through his eyes.
" brothers, sisters, let me ask you a single question: are you willing to Have fun?" Tang jay asked in a pumped-up state, his fists clenched tightly.
The six of them practically simultaneously replied, "we will"
"Good!" Tang jay said solemnly, "Now, I'll arrange the order in which we'll go out. I'll leave you guys to plan your own strategies. I believe that we have the strength to fight against our opponents and win in the end. Today, we need to fight, to fight for what we can call our future. The only way we can stand straight and call ourselves Shrek's Seven Monsters is by winning today. We won't lose any face for the title 'Shrek's Seven Monsters'!"
