Chapter 253: Do You Think You're Shen Teng?

"Take them down! One-shot those guys! Long live Shrek!"

"Twelve-win streak! Twelve-win streak!"

"……"

Various cheers kept coming from the spectator stands into the arena, and at this moment, the professional commentator located in the VIP box also focused their target on these two teams.

"The third round of the twelfth day is about to begin. I believe everyone has already seen that the Shrek Academy team is competing in this round, and their opponent is the Canghui Academy, which has already achieved a good record of eleven battles, eight wins, and three losses."

"Today they are facing Shrek Academy. Based on my personal judgment, the victory of this match is without suspense; the key is how long the Canghui Academy team can withstand the attacks from the Shrek Academy team."

Once this sentence was spoken, the shouting in the spectator stands suddenly became even more enthusiastic.

"Although Shrek Academy's Vice Captain Qin Jian has performed some mysterious operations on the Douhun Tai, his level is as high as 48... oh no, the latest reported data shows that he has already reached level 49 soul power, making him the highest-leveled contestant in the preliminaries."

The commentator was full of enthusiasm, pouring all words of praise onto Qin Jian: "Wherever he is, whether it is the Elephant Armor Academy or the even stronger Blazing Academy, they all pale in comparison."

"Being his teammates is both gratifying and sorrowful. The gratifying part is that the team wins battle after battle, while the sorrowful part is that the entire team's radiance is overshadowed by him alone..."

"And today, Canghui Academy will also likely become a part of the radiance on him, which makes one have to feel pity for Canghui Academy..."

A round of commercial flattery made Qin Jian's face turn a bit red, and it even made the opposing Canghui Academy team so angry they were about to explode.

"Both sides' team members are ready, so I announce, the match... begins!"

At the host's command, the colorful martial souls on the stage lit up.

But the Canghui Academy side was quite peculiar; each of them raised their hands, and fist-sized, diamond-like martial souls appeared in their palms.

"Seven diamonds... are they going to summon the Divine Dragon?"

The others were a bit confused and even started to become cautious; only Qin Jian still had the mind to make a snide remark: "If they were to hold those diamonds and kneel down to propose right now, I feel it wouldn't be out of place at all."

"Brother Jian, are we going up?" Tailong couldn't help but ask.

Qin Jian rolled his eyes and pointed at the opposite side: "Don't you see them looking like they're waiting for a rabbit to hit a tree? Why fall into the opponent's rhythm? If they don't move, we don't move; let's see who has more patience."

"Oh..."

Tailong scratched his head and looked at the opposite side with vigilance once again.

Although Qin Jian was not old, after these few matches, he truly made the four people who joined halfway—Huang Yuan and Jiang Zhu—respect and admire him; now, they had no thoughts of questioning his words at all.

Seeing this scene, the Captain of Canghui Academy couldn't help but roll his eyes, a plan forming in his mind.

"Hey, aren't you Shrek Academy very strong? Why don't you dare to move?" He said with his arms crossed and his nostrils pointed at the sky.

Qin Jian picked his ear: "A boring provocation."

But that Captain continued to perform persistently; he curled his finger and said in a tone full of contempt: "You, come over here!"

"Do you think you're Shen Teng?!" Qin Jian couldn't help but blurt out upon seeing this scene.

Everyone: "……"

Seeing that no matter how they provoked, it was useless against Shrek Academy, the Canghui Academy team Captain finally put away his look of contempt, looked coldly at Qin Jian and said: "You are very steady, but this is useless. In the face of absolute strength, all tactics and techniques are futile."

"Then let me see your so-called absolute strength." Qin Jian said indifferently.

"You will know very soon."

With a strange smile, the Canghui Academy team Captain slowly raised his right hand, holding the diamond in his palm high.

Maintaining the same movement as him, the other six team members also simultaneously held up the diamonds in their hands, and at the same time, their Soul Rings lit up.

"Brother Jian, they are gathering power, should we interrupt them?" Tailong asked again.

Qin Jian shook his head, the indifferent look on his face softening a bit: "The upcoming soul battle might be quite dangerous; don't leave my side easily."

As he said this, he made a strange move, which was to retreat to the center of the team and stand with Ning Rongrong.

An Assault System Soul Master retreating into the protective circle made many spectators feel surprised: "Could it be that Qin Jian doesn't intend to attack in this match?"

"Hum!"

With a hum, seven rays of colorful light shot into the sky almost at the same time, and with the Canghui Academy Captain's martial soul as the center, they instantly condensed into a massive seven-colored pillar of light.

"Boom!"

The pillar of light broke through the air for over thirty meters and instantly expanded, completely enveloping the seven people who formed the formation.

Suddenly, only that dazzling and massive radiance remained on the field, and the seven team members of the Canghui Academy team simultaneously lost their traces.

"Seven-in-One Fusion Skill!"

On the rostrum, Ning Fengzhi's expression slowly became grave.

"Boom boom!"

The pillar of light condensed from the seven-colored radiance instantly expanded, and in the blink of an eye, it filled the entire arena, with various precious lights bursting out from within.

That dazzling light looked like it had no offensive power, but the spectators in the stands had already been completely attracted by it.

"Shrek Academy's Vice Captain, Qin Jian, right? Your arrogance ends here. As the first opponents to taste our Seven Shura Illusion, you will perish in your own pain. Goodbye!"

The seven-colored light magnified again, instantly enveloping the entire arena.

The arena was circular, and that seven-colored pillar of light was also circular; at this very moment, that sky-piercing colorful light almost illuminated the entire competition venue.

The hazy radiance was filled with a strange atmosphere.

The seven members of the Shrek Academy team had already been completely enveloped, or rather, swallowed within it.

The entire audience was silent, and the commentator in the VIP box couldn't even say a single word.

Who could have imagined it? The Shrek Team, which originally appeared to occupy an absolute advantage, had actually fallen into a dangerous situation in an instant.

"Qin Jian! Qin Jian! Qin Jian!"

Some people were shouting Qin Jian's name, but more people were silently shaking their heads.

They couldn't tell the difference between a Seven-in-One Fusion Skill and a Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Skill, only thinking that this was a Martial Soul Fusion Skill used by seven people together.

Therefore, those who understood Martial Soul Fusion Skills not only knew that Shrek was bound to lose this match, but that the tournament didn't even need to continue; Canghui Academy would be the absolute champion.

"Struggle, suffer, and die in despair!"

The Canghui Academy Captain's strange voice was pervasive, falling into the ears of the Shrek Team members.

"Jian... Brother Jian, what do we do now?"

Tailong and Huang Yuan could see nothing, and they could not help but feel somewhat panicked.

"Don't be afraid, leave the rest to me."

Qin Jian took hold of Ning Rongrong's hand beside him and said, "Rongrong, activate the soul bone."

"Okay."

Ning Rongrong nodded.

"Hiss..."

The Illusion Wisdom Skull, which had just been obtained and fully absorbed, lit up. The Soul Bone Skill known as Illusion Space was used, not only shielding them from the influence of the Seven Shura Illusion but also boosting the team members' Spirit Power, allowing them to remain clear-headed.

"Teacher Shi Nian's soul bone!"

A voice of surprise rang out from within the seven-colored mist...
