Chapter 182: Are You Qin Jian?

"What the hell are you afraid of!"

Just as morale was low and everyone had fallen into silence, Qin Jian suddenly shouted this sentence, which was filled with a sense of shock, focusing everyone's gaze upon himself.

The deathly silence instantly eased, especially for Tang San, who subconsciously glanced at his left hand and twitched the corners of his lips.

"Don't lose heart, just a shot of adrenaline will do..."

Qin Jian lazily stretched and said casually: "Although the opponent's configuration is perfect, ours is not bad at all. We have me for the Assault System—Yu Tianheng is nothing; we have Xiao San for the Control System, who specializes in countering their Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison; we have Zhuqing for the Agility Attack System, and I've never seen an Agility Attack System Soul Master of the same level who can compare to her speed..."

"Pangzi's Mutated Martial Soul, Xiao Wu's Teleportation plus Eight-Stage Throw, and that Nine Heart Begonia martial soul? Our Rongrong has consumed an entire Qiluo Tulip, and her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has ascended to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda; would she be afraid of her?"

He looked around, his expression becoming more serious: "Most importantly, we are younger and have greater potential than them. If it doesn't work this time, we can still beat them down next time..."

He paused and added: "What the hell are you afraid of!"

To summarize his words: drink this bowl of chicken soup, and Shrek will surely win!

The others all smiled slightly, their lost confidence returning at the fastest speed, and everyone's eyes burned with a rare intensity.

"Then let us fight with all our might!"

Tang San reached out his hand, followed by Oscar and Ma Hongjun, with Qin Jian in the back, and above him were the small hands of the three girls.

"Fight!"

The seven spoke in unison, their fighting spirit soaring to the heavens.

Grandmaster, Flender, and Zhao Wuji watched them quietly, their eyes filled with an indelible sense of gratification.

Watching them gather together to earnestly discuss tactics around Tang San, a smile appeared on Grandmaster's face: "I originally thought Xiao San would become the undisputed soul of the team, but I didn't expect I was wrong."

Flender glanced at him, adjusted his glasses, and said: "You didn't expect Qin Jian's influence to be greater?"

Grandmaster nodded and said: "A complete team should need a Captain who charges into battle to boost morale and a Vice-Captain who controls the overall situation. Qin Jian and Tang San are exactly the opposite."

"Qin Jian has the strongest strength and the most weight in his words, and because the sword is a weapon of slaughter, he naturally possesses an indomitable momentum. He is the perfect Captain, suitable for leading the whole team to charge into battle."

Grandmaster said: "And Xiao San is the controller hidden behind the scenes, watching the overall situation and remaining calm; he is the most suitable for that."

"The two have their own characteristics. Combined, they will lead the Shrek Team to be even more powerful—it can be called a perfect match!"

He clenched his hands tightly, his eyes full of excitement.

Suotuo Great Spirit Arena, Central Main Arena.

Inside a high-level VIP room, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Master Ning Fengzhi and Jian Douluo were actually sitting inside.

"Jian Shu, it's been so long, I wonder how Rongrong and Qin Jian are doing?"

Ning Fengzhi's face was gentle and filled with anticipation, his hands still folded over his ornate cane.

"Not bad. I've flown over to check on them several times. These teachers at Shrek have a very good way of teaching. Both Jian'er and Rongrong have received extremely intensive training," Jian Douluo said, looking at the Douhun Tai below.

Ning Fengzhi nodded and said: "Today, their opponents are the Imperial Fighting Team. They are a few years older and come from the first team of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. I don't know if they will lose."

Jian Douluo rarely revealed a hint of a smile: "I actually don't think it's possible for them to lose. Sect Master, have you forgotten the 100 sets of special weapons Jian'er ordered for the sect? I don't believe they don't have any themselves."

Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up: "That's true. Those weapons have great power even when used by Support-type Soul Masters like us, let alone them."

"Speaking of which, Qin Jian's move is truly a great contribution to the sect. If he hadn't already been engaged to Rongrong, I would really have to reward him well, otherwise, the hearts of the sect members would be scattered," he added.

Jian Douluo couldn't help but smile: "The Sect Master has saved himself the trouble."

Ning Fengzhi laughed: "He is my future son-in-law, so it makes no difference whether I reward him or not."

"Dong dong qiang!"

Suddenly, explosive background music resounded throughout the Great Spirit Arena, making all the spectators burn with the music.

And the already very bright golden lights of the Central Main Arena increased in brightness once more, and all the light no longer scattered in all directions but concentrated toward the Douhun Tai, just like a huge spotlight casting a golden beam of light from the sky, perfectly enveloping the entire Douhun Tai.

In the center of the Douhun Tai, a young girl's figure waving snow-white wings suddenly flew up from the ground.

She looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a dignified and beautiful white dress, yet she had a perfect figure and a heart-stirring slender waist, embodying a stunning, contrasting beauty.

The girl held a microphone and flew around the entire arena, a professional, sweet smile on her face: "It is Doudou's honor to be able to host the Team Soul Fighting competition in the Main Arena for all the distinguished guests again. I hope all the distinguished guests can enjoy themselves tonight!"

"Today will be a highlight. Although both sides of the battle are only at the Soul Elder level, they have already obtained the honor of the Silver Spirit Badge. If I had to give them a title, I think the word 'genius' would be very fitting."

The girl Doudou circled the arena again: "Doudou will provide commentary for all the distinguished guests throughout the process. Alright, Doudou won't say any more unnecessary words. Next, let us invite the team members from both sides to take the stage."

Clang.

On both sides of the Douhun Tai, two doors opened, and the team members from both sides entered at the same time, walking toward the center of the Douhun Tai.

On the left, it was indeed the Imperial Fighting Team.

Yu Tianheng walked at the very front of the team, Dugu Yan habitually snuggled beside him, and following closely behind the two were the Shi Family Brothers.

Then came the black panther Oslo and the wind-bell bird Yu Feng, and walking at the very end was that mysterious Nine Heart Begonia Soul Master, Ye Lingling.

Compared to the varied attire of the Imperial Fighting Team, the Shrek Seven Devils appeared much neater, with the same black tight-fitting outfits and the same green masks.

"Soul Masters participating in the Team Soul Fighting, please note: you now have one minute to summon your martial souls. When I announce the start, you may attack until one side admits defeat, all fall, or falls off the Douhun Tai."

Floating in mid-air, Doudou flapped her pair of snow-white pigeon wings while speaking to the team members in her soft and moving voice.

"Boom..."

On the Central Main Arena, almost simultaneously, all fourteen people from both sides released their soul power. Fourteen intense auras of fighting spirit soared into the sky, startling the pigeon-type Soul Master Doudou in the air, who hurriedly increased her altitude.

"Zheng!"

Majestic Sword Qi surged from Qin Jian's body into the sky, and his massive, door-like martial soul landed with a bang in front of him.

With the release of his martial soul, he stood in the center of the Douhun Tai like a sword, and that sharp Sword Qi seemed to be pointing at the brow of everyone on the opposing Imperial Fighting Team.

"Xiu xiu xiu..."

Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was released as if it were endless, occupying the ground on his side, and at the same time, six strands of Blue Silver Grass rose quietly and wrapped around the waists of the other six members of the Shrek Seven Devils.

Since the Shrek Seven Devils had released their martial souls, the other side naturally wouldn't remain idle.

The formation of the Imperial Fighting Team was completely different from that of the Shrek Seven Devils. Standing at the very front was not Yu Tianheng, but the two Basalt Turtle Soul Masters, the Shi Family Brothers.

"Hah!"

The two stood left and right. When Doudou announced the start of the soul fight, they both shouted at the same time, and earthy-yellow light rose from their feet. Not only did turtle shells appear on their backs, but they also appeared in front of them.

"Crack-pop!"

Yet they still could not completely block Qin Jian's sharp Sword Qi, which seemed intent on devouring people, until a dazzling blue light suddenly flared from the center of Yu Tianheng's brow; immediately following, the blue light instantly spread, descending from his brow to his entire body, and streaks of blue-Purple electric currents erupted like little snakes, slithering around his body.

Standing in the center, he finally completely shielded himself from Qin Jian's overwhelming aura.

Behind Yu Tianheng was a patch of emerald green, but Dugu Yan, with her red hair and green eyes, did not exude her usual extremely icy temperament at this moment; instead, she looked at the opposite side in great shock: "This method of martial soul summoning... are you Qin Jian?!"
