Today was the start of the second round of qualifying when the Seven Shrek Beasts and the others arrived outside the Heaven Spirit Du Arena arena and they immediately felt the difference in treatment.
This time, they were not mocked and no one said a word
This time, Flinder walked with the group in the same green clothes as them. The difference was that this time they had found a sponsor. It all went back to Flinder and their previous achievement.
Then Great Master introduced Erlong, and their expression did not bode well. The Great Master spoke directly: "Your upcoming opponents are extremely strong. You have three options now. The first is to abandon this match and maintain your strength. After all, the five teams with the most points can win." Entering the finals. Secondly, it is to continue with your weakest members in the first formation, even though the chances of winning are very few. Thirdly, to give everything you have, but you will be exposed."
Everyone looked at each other, wondering what kind of opponent could cause such a headache
Liu Erlong explained after the teacher: "You know the Armored Elephant Clan of the Seven Great Clans, your opponent is from the clan's Armored Elephant School, three of them have reached the fortieth rank while the rest have close to it, they are said to be the elite of the clan."
Hearing her words everyone had some kind of understanding, the Armored Elephant Clan has a well-known title, the strongest defensive clan.
Then the teacher continued, "If it's a large-scale battle, maybe your first formation has a chance. The armored elephant's weakness is speed, plus they don't have an assistant spirit master. However, decide for yourselves."
"If you withdraw from the battle, I will lose..." Flender shouted.
Liu Erlong glared at Flender with an angry tone, "Chief Fu, I can see the greed in your eyes, but think about the long term, what if these kids get seriously injured, how will they deal with the subsequent matches?"
The group began to discuss among themselves, Ma Hongjun interjected, "If we appear on stage, what does it matter if others know about our strength?"
Oscar replied, "Of course we should not reveal our strength. If the rest know about it, it will help them develop tactics against us. And don't forget that we will still fight stronger people."
Zhang Yong pondered for a moment, "Then, what if we change the members in the first formation?"
Dai Mubai turned his head towards Tang San, "What do you think, Xiao San, you are the soul of the team."
Tang San clenched his fists, "Let's fight, let's do what Zhang Yong suggested."
Tang San turned towards the teacher and continued, "Teacher, I understand the three options, but if we back down it will detract from the morale of the team, so I suggest changing Tai Lung with Zhou Ziqin and Jiang Chu with Oscar."
Tai Long was standing aside, listening to Tang San he couldn't help but inquire, "Young Master, why don't I fight, isn't the opponent from the Defense and Strength branch? With my presence I can block them face to face."
Yu Xiaogang's face revealed a smile, "The reason is that he doesn't plan to fight face to face."
Dai Mubai immediately asked, "Xiao San, make a plan."
Tang Sam nodded and gathered the fighters around him and told them his tactics for this match
--------------
The third day of the tournament qualifiers began. The twenty-eight teams were divided into three groups, and a partner team was placed in the first group to start. Each group contained about ten teams.
The rink was different from the first day, there was a rink in the middle surrounded by four rinks attached to it
After the partner team stepped onto the middle ring, they couldn't help but feel shocked by their opponent, they were giants.
The shortest among them was two meters long, and their height exceeded two metres. Zhang Yong couldn't help but think, 'What did they feed them to make them like this?'
The most unusual thing was not their height, but their weight was so great that every step they took shook the ground beneath them. They were all wearing black clothes.
The two teams stood in front of each other, and the two team leaders came forward
"Armored Elephant Academy Team, the leader is Yan Li, Rank Forty-Three, Spirit Ancestor in the Defense System."
"Shrek Academy Team, Commander Dai Mubai, Rank Forty-Fourth, Power System Spirit Ancestor."
After the introduction given by both sides, the referee called out, "Both teams, salute each other."
The fourteen competitors from both sides bowed to each other, and then announced, "The second round of qualifying, the first match, officially begins."
Immediately after the announcement of the start was issued, the fighting spirits were released
The Armored Elephant Team threw away their jackets, exposing their plump bodies
With the release of their souls, their bodies swelled even more than they were and the fat turned into exaggerated muscles. It could also be seen that their noses became longer. They truly looked like an elephant. According to their souls, the Diamond Elephant.
The team raised their feet and hit the ground simultaneously, causing the ground to shake, and everyone began to doubt whether the arena could support them.
Tang San immediately shouted, "Retreat!"
Everyone stepped back next to Tang San, as he activated his spirit, a tuft of silver-blue grass shot out around the leg of one of the fighters, but terrifyingly, it was immediately torn apart. The silver-blue grass was very strong and durable, so this test showed their great physical strength.
The opponents advanced towards them, they did not rush directly, which showed that they were cautious
Everyone stood unperturbed, waiting for Tang San's orders, "Advance three steps."
Everyone immediately took three steps forward and Oscar stood next to Tang San and immediately made a mushroom sausage and then gave it to Tang San. Then, silvery blue grass vines shot out and surrounded all five members at the same time, carrying them. Tang San flew out using the flying sausage with Oscar attached to his back.
Seeing this scene, it made the opponents of the Armored Elephant Academy stunned. If the opponent was on the ground, of course they could use their strength and defeat him, but their ability to fly created an unfair advantage for them.
Tang San used his hands to control the grass that bound the five, and Tang San quickly turned around half a turn and threw the five towards the opponents, pinning the opponents in their places.
What was unexpected was that their reaction was not slow, Commander Huyan Li shouted and the seven gathered together and raised their hands to strike the five attackers.
Upon realizing this, Tang San controlled his grass and dragged his companions away
At that moment, the seven disciples roared simultaneously. With such explosive power, the silvery blue grass began to gradually tear apart. They had already activated their second soul ring.
Commander Huyan Li took four seconds to break free while the rest below level forty spent seven seconds
Tang San shouted, his first, second and fourth rings flashing simultaneously, "Twenty seconds to defeat Huyan Li!"
The silver-blue grass rushed out quickly and bound the opponents simultaneously. Each of them was covered by a thick layer of silver-blue grass, including Huyan Li. A black cage that trapped them rushed out from beneath each individual. Then the five of them simultaneously landed on the same person, Huyan Li.
Huyan Li looked disdainfully at them, "You still want to restrain me? This is nothing but a waste of soul energy."
Despite this, Huyan Li, except for his head, his entire body was covered in silvery blue grass
But with the strength of his body, he was able to get rid of the first layer of restrictions
Tang San was seeking to buy time by restraining him
With their martial spirits surging, the five of them rushed towards Huyan Li, while the roar of a tiger, the screech of a cat, the crack of bones and the hiss of a snake were heard.
The aim of this was to get rid of Huyan Li, the opponent's strongest link. The attacks were launched directly at Huyan Li's head.
But unexpectedly, Huyan Li's fourth soul ring flashed and he released an explosive roar that struck the silver blue grass around him, and what looked like snowflakes appeared on his face. Although he was freed, his legs were unable to move.
Dai Mubai's White Tiger Light wave enhanced with White Tiger Vajra landed, increasing the attack power of his skill, right behind him was Zhou Ziqin with her strongest attack, Executing Hell with a clean, fast attack.
Zhang Yong and Yuan Ling's attack arrived at almost the same time, instantly the entire five ringlets of Zhang Yong's arm were blinded with a single punch. Huyan Li's head was pinned to the ground, Yuan Ling's thousand-year spirit ring shot out and metal fragments came out of her tail with a single swing that rushed towards Huyan Li.
What no one expected, in the midst of this chaos, Huyan Li wore a yellow metal helmet on his head. Splinters scattered on the ground and with one powerful roar, Tang San's silvery blue grass disintegrated.
'Something is not right' Zhang Yong thought deeply
Dai Mubai and Zhang Yong who were closest to Huyan Li could feel the pressure around him changing, his body becoming larger and the four spirit rings flying around him sparkling.
Seeing this helmet, everyone felt something was wrong, the rules of the Continental Advanced Soul Masters Competition stipulated that no tools other than their martial souls were allowed to be used, but was the opponent going to overlook this rule?
This was not a helmet, but rather a skull spirit bone
Huyan Li raised his huge hands to grab the last person to attack, Xiao Wu
Xiao Wu was attacking from above with a hammer kick with one foot, upon seeing him extending his arms she shot out her feet and landed on one of his arms and pushed with a backflip away from him in the air.
Upon Xiao Wu disappearing from Huyan Li's sight, he changed his direction towards the remaining four
His third spiritual ring lit up and he jumped into the air, jumping on no one but Zhou Ziqin. His skill caused pressure on Zhou Ziqin's body, preventing her from moving.
With a quick movement, Tang Sanzhou pulled Ziqin towards Dai Mubai
He sent Zhang Yong and Yuan Ling towards the disciples bound by the Blue Silver Grass
With a wave of his arm, a streak of pink light flew from his hand in front of Xiao Wu and Xiao Wu directly ate it. It was the hot dog that Oscar had obtained from his fourth soul ring, and Xiao Wu headed towards the youngest member of the Armored Elephant Team.
Then a loud roar erupted in the venue, attracting the attention of all the competitors and the audience from the four adjacent arenas
Dai Mubai was shining with a faint white light, while Zhou Ziqin was shining with an intense black light, and their bodies met and disappeared into a ball of light.
This ball of light turned into a huge, translucent white tiger with black stripes and pure white wings. This was the fusion ability of Dai Mubai and Zhou Ziqin.
But this tiger was not like before. It was three meters high and ten meters long. Compared to all the competitors in the ring, they all looked like rats in front of him.
This tiger charged towards Huyan Li, its wings flapped and it flew towards him
A strong pressure descended, making Huyan Li barely breathe. The previous time, Dai Mubai was rank thirty and Zhou Ziqin was still rank twenty, but now, they were both above rank forty, which meant an explosive increase in their strength.
The blue-silver prison of the opponents cleared, Zhang Yong gathered his fists and with a single punch sent the opponent flying out of the ring.
Zhang Yong did not use everything he had for two reasons
First, he can't use his weapons due to competition rules
Secondly, everyone thinks he is an assistant spirit master with a powerful body, so if he uses his rings it will be revealed otherwise
In addition, the longer he hid his strength, the better for him
The huge white tiger stood in front of Huyan Li and began swinging his claw at him. Huyan Li raised his arms to block the tiger's claws as he crouched on the ground.
He knew that the soul fusion ability consumed a lot of soul energy, so all he had to do was block a few attacks and their strength would diminish over time.
Although this was a correct principle and a logical way of thinking, he underestimated the ability of Dai Mubai and Zhou Ziqin
The tiger swung its claw twice and sent Huyan Li flying out of the ring
Stepping out of the way, the tiger used his remaining energy and flew out at lightning speed and attacked the remaining three members, knocking them out of the ring.
When the opponents came out, the tiger disappeared, and in its place appeared the pale bodies of Dai Mubai and Zhou Ziqin
With the fight over, the time for the mushroom sausage that had lifted Tang San and Oscar ran out and the two slowly landed on the ground
Tang San then threw Oscar's sausage to the partner team and they gathered together
They were the only ones left in the ring
The referee announced directly, "Second round, first match, Shrek Academy wins against Armored Elephant Academy."
When victory was announced, the two sides met in the middle, formed a line in front of each other, and bowed to each other
After that fight, a week passed at lightning speed during which six rounds of matches were played and ended with three academies getting six points, and Shrek Academy among them, except for their first fight, and a fight against the Armored Elephant Academy, the rest were easy matches, the other academies won. Six wins are Thunderclap Academy and Wind god Academy
On the eighth day, they will fight Osilu Academy, which has only achieved two victories and whose members have not even reached the fortieth rank.
In the rest area, the entire Shrek group was gathered, that's when the great master entered, "Your opponents have already surrendered."
Everyone looked in amazement at the teacher, before a small smile appeared on his face, "After the presentation you made, the weak academies have immediately withdrawn, and you can take advantage of this opportunity to watch the match between Thunderclap Academy and Armored Elephant Academy. These two teams are capable of threatening you. Know yourself." And know your opponent, then you will win. Now let's go to the stage."
With these words the teacher led the group towards the arena, as they exited the room they met a group of people, they were the same ones from Sparkling Blue Sun Academy.
The two groups looked at each other and looked as if a conflict was about to break out. Dai Mubai pointed towards them and then put his hand at his neck and dragged it along his neck, indicating to cut off their heads.
As for Zhang Yong, when he saw Ye Zhi Qiu with them, all he did was whisper in a clear voice to him, "How are your balls?"
The anger was evident on Ye Zhiqiu's face, which was interesting to watch for Zhang Yong
But the teacher didn't even give them half a look, on the way the teacher started explaining about the academies that might pose a danger to the partner team
Besides the Armored Elephant Academy, there is the Thunderclap Academy, the Ruler of Wind, Sky Water, and the Flame of Fire, which intersect with the elements of water, fire, wind, and thunder, in addition to the Elephant Clan, which represents the Earth. According to the teacher, the tyrannical Blue Lightning Dragon Clan stands behind the Thunderclap Academy, while from Where he stands behind the other academies is unknown
