The imperial hunting grounds were fifty kilometers southwest of Heaven Du City
In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, each team was allocated a different resting place
The first thing Shrek's team saw was a regiment of massive Imperial Knights riding on horses
They all wore that heavy metal armor that made a sound with every step
While they were riding on Heaven Spirit Horses, horses that possessed a bit of Spirit Beast blood, making them stronger than ordinary horses, they did not possess offensive capabilities but what they did have was their amazing speed.
Even the horses were wearing armor. Ordinary horses wouldn't withstand the armor and coupled with the knights' armor they couldn't even stand up, so Heaven's Spirit Horses were the first choice for knights, plus their speed wouldn't decrease.
Shrek's group of Imperial Family Knights has been stopped
"Please provide a certificate of qualifications"
The certificate of qualifications was awarded to the teams by the emperor, and was awarded to Tang San and Dai Mubai on that day.
Flender handed the certificate to the knight and the knight immediately saluted them
"Welcome, Spirit Masters of Shrek Academy, I am the Knight of the Third Battalion of the Heaven Dou Empire Knights, Major General Rochson, follow me."
The commander walked in front of them and led them to the hunting ground under the guard of fifty armed knights of the empire
On the way on a small hill, everyone saw a wide open space, vast and resembling green pastures
In the middle of that land there was the camp, Shrek's squad headed to it and five rooms were allocated to the fourteen members
The rooms were not luxurious but they were clean and tidy
Flender quickly divided the rooms for everyone, Liu Erlong would take a room with Xiao Wu, the remaining girls would have one room, he and the great master would stay in a room, and the remaining rooms would be divided among the male students.
With their luggage placed, Zhang Yong had already begun to meditate for the night
The next day, a partner competitor was announced, a school spirit master from the Balak Kingdom
The competition system was simple, with a total of seven members. A member from each team would advance in each fight, and the winner would remain in the ring while the loser would exit and another person would take his place. This would continue until all seven members were defeated.
The partner match was the third of seven matches for the day
The fifteen teams have already been arranged between the Knights' Circle and the competition ground
One team was supposed to stay out of the game on the first day of rest, but they couldn't because they took advantage of this opportunity to observe other teams' matches.
Even the stands were empty because it was forbidden for non-concerned people to be in the imperial hunting grounds
The Great Master gathered the eleven members of Shrek and his gaze swept over all the members, "I will announce the order in which you will ascend, first Xiao Wu, then Tang San and Dai Mubai next."
The rest were waiting for the teacher to continue, but he had already finished
Much to Mubai's confusion, "Teacher, aren't we going up with seven members?"
A calm smile appeared on the teacher's face, "Don't tell me you're not confident in winning with three members. The opponent isn't even from the four academies. It doesn't take teamwork, just strength."
The teacher's words sparked enthusiasm in Shrek's monsters
The Emperor stood up and using the microphone spirit instrument announced the start of the competition
The first match began and the first to fight was the Al-Shoula team
He Wushang went first and won the first three matches, then lost the next match after using up his soul energy
With successive battles the person could barely continue for long due to fatigue, which would raise the difficulty after each battle
After Hu Wushang it was Hu Wu's turn, where she defeated the remaining four members and secured victory for her team
When Hu Wu walked out of the competition arena, her gaze was directed towards Shrek Academy
She raised her finger and pointed to two people, Zhang Yong and Tang San
Because of what she did, everyone's eyes turned towards them
(+122 hate points earned)
Zhang Yong laughed sarcastically, "It seems that she is challenging us, while knowing that she cannot defeat us."
Tang San sighed deeply, "This is something we will leave for the future, our current match is more important."
The second match was an unexpected encounter with an old acquaintance, with a snake stick in her hand, it was Grandmother Snake's granddaughter, Ming Yiran who they met in the Star Dou Forest.
She stepped onto the ring and defeated three people in a row before stepping out of the ring and raising her finger in challenge to Tang San, but when her eyes fell on Zhang Yong she immediately turned her head.
(+143 shyness points earned)
'In the name of bloody hell, not again!'Zhang Yong cursed in his heart
Oscar was already laughing on the side, "Oh Zhang Yong, I can understand Tang San's condition, but I didn't expect her to be this kind of person. With this reaction, I can tell you've influenced her. If we count Shui Ming from the Sky Water Academy, are planning on picking flowers and Cooking rice?"
Zhang Yong couldn't help but give him a quizzical look, "I don't really care about this matter, there's no chance, keep me out of this."
With Zhang Yong's mentality, he didn't care about this matter. Despite his mind that could be considered an adult, his body was that of a teenager, which meant to him that he was still too young to think about this, this was his logic.
Oscar smiled sarcastically, "Yes, yes, we know you already have someone in your eyes"
With a dark smile, Zhang Yong patted Tang San on the shoulder, "Mind exchanging with Oscar, let's get him up on the ring."
Tang San raised his thumb and smiled as well, "Sure, I'll tell the teacher to switch."
A nervous smile appeared on Oscar and he felt a shiver go down his back, "Zhang Yong brother, you know I'm just an auxiliary system, come on, I'm sorry, I was just kidding."
During the conversation, the second match had ended, so when it was Shrek Academy's turn
The eleven people put their hands together and cheered loudly
Under everyone's support, Xiao Wu calmly walked towards the ring
Shrek's first opponent was from the Balak Academy, precisely because the academy bore the name Balak as it was the Imperial Academy, in the same status as the Sky Du Academy in relation to the Balak Kingdom.
In return, the Academy sent Balak. He was an older young man who appeared to be in his twenties, wearing a black and golden uniform
Seeing Xiao Wu's appearance, he couldn't help but scratch the back of his head, "Little sister, did they send you to make up the number of members, you'd better withdraw. If you get serious, you might get hurt."
Zhang Yong fell on the chair to sit down, "Yes, the boy is done."
At the same time, Ma Hongjun covered his eyes. Seeing his best friend in this state, Oscar asked, "You fat man, why did you close your eyes?"
Ma Hongjun sighed while still covering his eyes, "I can't bear to see this, I'm afraid this brother from Balak Academy has run out of luck, I remember Xiao Wu's skill that day, don't forget it, she wasn't there then."
In the midst of this, the referee announced the start of the match
Despite the initial announcement, Xiao Wu did not rush and backed away from the young man, "You're right, this is not a place I should be."
Even as she said this, her fighting spirit was released and her rabbit ears and fluffy tail appeared
Three spirit rings rang out behind her. Despite this, the young man did not care about her spirit or the rings, as he was conceited and confident in his strength.
She activated her second soul ring and a pink light shone in her eyes, this was her Demonic Confusion ability
As long as the opponent looked at her, he would become dazed without the ability to move like an idiot
Xiao Wu moved quickly, the distance between them was twenty meters but was immediately reduced to ten meters
Upon realizing the danger, the young man regained consciousness, unleashed his fighting spirit, and slapped himself hard to wake up
His three rings rose in front of him
He raised his hands in front of him and fired his first soul ring ability, but the opponent he wanted to target had disappeared
Xiao Wu suddenly appeared behind the young man, her braid wrapped around his neck, her right foot rose on his back while her left remained on the ground to support it.
Her first soul ring was glowing, indicating that she was using her first soul ring
She threw him into the air as her braid came loose from the opponent's neck
Then she jumped into the sky and met her opponent. She grabbed the back of his neck, gathered the strength of her soul into her knee, and hit his waist with force, sending him towards the ground.
Poof!
His back hit the ground, then Xiao Wu landed with her feet on the young man's chest and hit his temple hard, causing him to lose consciousness.
After a short moment of silence, cheers rose, sounds of admiration and panic
Xiao Wu showed a harmless smile as she looked towards Ballack's team, "Next."
A simple word caused Balak's team to flare up in anger, and seven to eight people immediately jumped up and ran towards Xiao Wu.
The referee immediately appeared but only used words to repel the opponents, "What are you doing?"
Shrek's team stepped into the ring, ready to engage in a fight. "Do you want a team fight?"
As the two sides advanced, a clear voice shook everyone present, more than ten thousand people, "Do you want to die?"
Without anyone even realizing a person appeared in the middle of the ring, this was none other than Liu Erlong
Due to some incidents, Xiao Wu became Erlong's adopted daughter, upon seeing her daughter in danger she would be unable to restrain herself, once she was set on fire there might be no one who would be able to calm her down except the great master.
Balak's team suddenly stopped as they looked at her in shock. Liu Erlong released an oppressive pressure on everyone. This was not only from her soul energy but also from her spirit and temperament.
That pressure even made Naoto's heart jump in shock, making him realize that she was just going easy on him in their fight
With the situation turning so volatile, an icy cold voice rang out. If Erlong's voice moved the audience then it made them shiver. It was the voice of the Bishop of the Soul Hall, Salas.
He stood from his seat and watched both sides of the ring with an icy, cold gaze
When Salas intervened, the Ballack Academy coach came out to the competition ring in panic, "Bishop Salas, please calm down. We wanted to remove our teammate from the ring. We do not intend to cause trouble."
Salas looked indifferently at the coach, "Both sides stop. Entering the ring without the permission of the tournament staff will result in immediate expulsion from the tournament."
As Salas spoke, no one dared to contradict him. Both sides retreated, but their hostility was still evident
Only Xiao Wu and her next opponent remained in the ring. He was a spirit ancestor above rank forty, and he released his spirit without waiting for the referee's signal. His spirit was a tool-type in the shape of a sunflower with a red center and yellow petals.
Then the referee announced the start of the match
The boy was not huge, but he had clear muscles on his body
He had four rings, one white, one yellow, and two purple
The white ring behind him lit up, and the plant grew in his hand. The flower stalk became three meters long and the head reached one meter in diameter.
With a wave of his hand, a yellow mist covered Xiao Wu's body and the rest of the arena, but he did not block the vision in the middle of it.
Oscar said at the side, "This ability is similar to Zhang Yong's."
Zhang Yong closed his eyes for a moment, "That's wrong. She's different. Mine is obstructing the vision while his is different."
Tang San nodded, "His ability affects the neural network directly, Xiao Wu is supposed to sense it, but it's useless."
Originally, a person's soul rings are affected by his own soul, so even if two different souls absorb soul rings of the same type of monster, each of them will obtain a different skill related to one of the monster's skills, so there is a possibility that the opponent may have obtained a soul ring from the Warm Mist Tree, but the difference is Clear between them
As the fog spread in the arena, Xiao Wu jumped back several steps, beginning to feel dizzy
A malicious smile appeared on his face, but he did not move forward, but continued to wave the flower, sending out the mist, and its area began to increase more and more.
Two spirit rings were shining behind the opponent, it was clear that one of the rings magnified the size of the flower and the second was of mist.
Xiao Wu was thinking of a way to break through the poisonous fog to get closer to the opponent, but it was dangerous as he still had not used his third and fourth soul ring.
But suddenly a layer of golden red light began to surround Xiao Wu. The strange thing was that the fog could no longer reach Xiao Wu. Rather, every time it touched the light, it melted as if it were snow. Within ten square meters of Xiao Wu, the fog disappeared.
Zhang Yong was startled for a moment, then his expression changed to a smile, "Red Longing Sorrow Grass, right?"
Tang San nodded as everyone watched him, "Yes, it is considered an immortal herb, even better than Innate Silk Beauty, it is considered a king among flowers, even if it has no resistance to poison and Xiao Wu did not eat it, the sunflower is also a flower, when Xiao Wu attacked Wu, Red Longing Sorrow considered that he had been provoked, would he allow an ordinary flower to provoke the Flower King and thus the Flower King exhaled his fragrance around Xiao Wu which is what we see now"
Upon hearing this, Oscar was worried, "But isn't that against the rules of the competition? I mean, it's using an external tool."
Tang San smiled confidently, "Even my teacher didn't notice, do you think the jury would notice? This light is emanating from her body and not something she uses."
Seeing that his ability was useless, and that his soul energy was being consumed by the golden light, the Balak member stopped the attack and activated his third ring.
The head of the plant separated and flew into the air and began to sway. The member brought his hands together and condensed a golden light and gathered it into a ball.
With one shot, he shot a beam from the flower and his arm towards the flower
But both parties were immediately surprised. The light that touched the barrier surrounding Xiao Wu turned into dust. Not only that, but it seemed to be absorbed by the barrier and the barrier surrounding her began to gradually expand.
Suddenly the light covered the ring, even the opponent and the referee were covered, due to which the opponent's spiritual skill exploded, causing him to lose his spiritual power and thus the flower in his hand quietly withered.
Consequently, the opponent fell to the ground unconscious
Gradually, the light surrounding Xiao Wu began to gradually disappear
Everyone was looking in shock, a spirit expert had succeeded in defeating two spirit ancestors who was unexpected
The referee naturally asked about the red glow, but she replied that she didn't know, causing the referee to leave it to the judges
After the fight was over, Xiao Wu fought three more battles before leaving due to exhaustion of soul power
No member of Balak's team included any other spiritual ancestors
Xiao Wu left the ring and it was Tang San's turn. When the Balak Academy thought they could rest easy with Xiao Wu leaving, the second shock came to them. Tang San released his soul and rings, two yellow, one purple, and one black. Seeing these rings, the Balak Academy could not advance and They admitted defeat immediately
