Chapter 174: The Shrek Heavenly Group Debuts

That day, after Grandmaster arranged for Qin Jian and the other six to stay in Soto City, he called them to Tang San's room.

"Now you can form groups freely to decide which kind of soul fighting matches to participate in. The Great Spirit Arena generally starts with one-on-one and two-on-two matches first. Although team battles are separate from the former two, they start quite late and can be considered the battles that attract the most spectators to the Great Spirit Arena."

Grandmaster said: "What you must participate in every day is one team battle. You can choose the other one freely. I don't object if you are willing to participate in three or even four, provided you keep a good handle on your own soul power situation."

Oscar instantly hugged Qin Jian's thigh: "Brother Jian, Brother Jian, let's form a group, let's form a group, how about it?"

Qin Jian rolled his eyes: "I have already formed the Sword Tower Combination, Sword Cat Combination, and Sword Dance Combination with Rongrong, Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu respectively. Five matches a day, do you really want me to participate in a sixth?"

Grandmaster glanced at him without showing any surprised expression; he had truly grown accustomed to the complicated relationships between the men and women among Qin Jian and the others over these three months.

Sometimes he would also think, if he himself had Qin Jian's high emotional intelligence and sufficiently thick skin, plus a shameless spirit, perhaps he wouldn't have separated from Liu Erlong, and wouldn't have broken up with Bibi Dong...

But Oscar was dumbfounded: "You've rounded up all our beautiful girls?"

"Then why don't you do it?"

Qin Jian slanted a look at him: "Do you want to try five matches a night?"

"No, no, no, only you, Brother Jian, can manage five times a night!" Oscar shook his head repeatedly.

"Five times a night..."

Qin Jian's expression was strange, and Ma Hongjun immediately wore a lewd smile.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong blushed for no reason...

"Xiao San, you, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun should each form a combination."

Grandmaster ignored their expressions; he had truly witnessed their precociousness many times already and was no longer surprised.

Tang San nodded and said: "Yes, Teacher."

"Take these, one for each of you, and wear them well when soul fighting."

While speaking, Grandmaster took out seven masks he had prepared long ago from his soul guidance device bracelet.

The appearance of the masks was quite good, with green patterns symbolizing Shrek embedded in the black.

"It seems the masquerade ball is about to begin..."

Qin Jian took a mask and put it on his face. Although the craftsmanship of the mask was average, after it adhered to his face, revealing his eyes, mouth, and nose, it didn't get in the way at all.

"When participating in team battles, you will proceed as the Shrek Seven Devils combination. When participating in individual soul fighting, you can come up with your own titles for two-on-two. For one-on-one, I have thought of a nickname for each of you; use this nickname for the matches."

Oscar asked curiously: "Then what titles should we use?"

Grandmaster said: "Ma Hongjun will use his martial soul, Evil Fire Phoenix; you will still use your Sausage Specialty; as for Xiao San, call him Thousand-Hand Asura; Zhu Zhuqing is Nether Spirit Cat; Xiao Wu is Soft Bone Charm Rabbit; and Ning Rongrong is naturally Seven Treasures."

From these nicknames, Qin Jian felt the soul of a middle-schooler hidden beneath Grandmaster's middle-aged exterior...

"Finally, there is Qin Jian..."

Grandmaster pondered for a moment and said: "Your teacher's nickname is Sword Douluo Chen Xin, why don't you call yourself Sword Dao Qingxin? I think Qingxin suits you very well."

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong looked at each other, then both turned their heads away.

"A heartless flirt, it should be called Sword Dao Heart-Throb instead!" Xiao Wu said with her hands on her hips.

"How about we just call him the Girl Killer," Oscar said with a straight face.

Ma Hongjun immediately nodded: "Oscar, I didn't expect you to have such a talent for naming."

"You flatter me, you flatter me!" Oscar said happily.

"Crack..."

Qin Jian gently cracked his fingers and twisted his neck, emitting a clicking sound from his bones.

He said indifferently: "I think it would be better for Fatty to be called Wuji Baifeng Pill, and as for Oscar..."

Ma Hongjun's face turned black.

Before he could finish, Oscar hurriedly changed his tune: "Ahem, Grandmaster, I think the one you came up with is good. Sword Dao Qingxin, it's like 'heroic spirit and tender feelings,' it both reflects the characteristics of Brother Jian's martial soul and shows his loyal and righteous personality..."

His endless praise made Grandmaster's forehead covered in black lines: "I didn't think that much..."

"Forget it, I don't want people to associate me with Teacher, let's just call it Sword Soul Qingxin," Qin Jian shook his head and said.

"That works too."

Grandmaster nodded, not dwelling on this issue, and added: "Now we still need to establish a captain and vice-captain. My opinion is for the strongest, Qin Jian, to be the captain, and for the Control System's Xiao San to be the vice-captain. What do you all think?"

Tang San and the others nodded, having no objections; over these few months, Qin Jian had long since conquered them with his strength.

But Qin Jian himself shook his head and said: "Grandmaster, I cannot be this captain. Xiao San is more suitable than me as a Control System Soul Master, and he is already the one directing the battles anyway; in reality, he is the captain."

Tang San hurriedly waved his hands to decline: "The captain is the public face of our seven-person combination. I belong more to the type who plans behind the scenes, so you should do it."

"I..."

Qin Jian said with some hesitation: "I am already the captain of one team; I cannot be another."

Tang San was surprised: "How could you already be the captain of a team?"

Qin Jian shook his head and said: "This actually doesn't quite conform to the rules, so it's not convenient to tell you for the time being."

Ning Rongrong quietly rolled her eyes.

"Alright then, let Xiao San serve as captain, and Qin Jian serve as vice-captain."

Grandmaster didn't dwell on this and waved his hand to decide.

Qin Jian looked at the six people around him, and they smiled at each other.

Although the Shrek Seven Devils were missing Dai Mubai, they had him, Qin Jian, so they would surely only be stronger.

He inevitably thought of the Tianshui Team; he wondered how they were doing. When they met at the All-Dalu Advanced Spirit Academy Elite Tournament, what kind of scene would it be...

Night finally descended.

The Soto City Great Spirit Arena repeated the bustle of every night, and the jostling crowds began to gather from all directions.

As the most traditional and popular entertainment project for the public, it welcomed numerous spectators every day.

Just at this moment, a team of ten people caught the eyes of the crowd preparing to enter the Great Spirit Arena.

Because, among these ten people, seven were wearing identical masks.

They wore team uniforms with a consistent black-toned style, looking much more professional than the other groups; in the words of Qin Jian, this was called changing skins to run a dungeon.

The person in the lead wore a mask with slight Yellow patterns, walking at the very front step by step in a very solemn manner, their exaggerated movements directly ruining the entire team's image.

This group of people was naturally the seven students from Shrek Academy, along with the two Deans and Grandmaster.

"Pfft..."

Oscar, who was in the lead, couldn't play the fool for long, because Qin Jian kicked him on the buttocks: "Do you think you're walking the red carpet?"
