Chapter 134: Admit Defeat

"You want my wife to join the Spirit Hall, yet you never bother to ask my opinion?" Yang Yun said with a light smile.

Ye Lingling lightly leaned against Yang Yun's chest, burying her head; these actions silently proved to everyone that Yang Yun's words were completely true.

Hu Liena looked at this scene with a rather unpleasant expression.

Bibi Dong also felt embarrassed, glanced at Hu Liena, who was good at making proposals, then stepped forward and said lightly: "The Spirit Hall welcomes any soul master from under heaven who has talent and strength; just now it was merely an urgent love of talent, hoping everyone could understand the Spirit Hall's eager desire for virtuous talent."

"Alright, the second match needs the players to go on the field; hurry up and go on."

Tian Shui Academy drew a bye.

The team formed by Shen Feng Chi Huo Academy faced off against Shrek.

The outcome was naturally obvious; Zhu Zhuqing alone stole the show; under Tang San's full control, Zhu Zhuqing could instantly kill an opponent with a single encounter.

Especially with Ning Rongrong's assistance from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Zhu Zhuqing's Netherworld Spirit Cat martial soul moved like a harvester in the shadows; each attack could take away a student.

"Too terrifying, Shrek Team's Zhu Zhuqing actually defeated the opponent in such a short time; this is simply unbelievable."

Off to the side, the master curled a smile at the corner of his mouth; up until now, Dai Mubai and Zhu Bing's martial soul fusion technique had no room to be unleashed.

Even Tang San remained in peak condition; going forward, regardless of which academy they opposed, they had a great chance to secure victory.

Since all members of Xiang Jia Academy were wiped out, the Spirit Hall Academy drew a direct promotion; the Shrek Team will next face the Tian Shui Team.

Such a result undoubtedly lifts spirits.

But the Shrek Team couldn't feel happy, because even after entering Spirit Hall City, the captain of the Tian Shui Team, Shui Bing'er, still hadn't taken the field.

Even so, the Tian Shui Team had passed five stages and slain six commanders all the way; they have won consecutively to this day without ever suffering a defeat.

Because two more members of the Tian Shui Team broke through a major realm to reach Soul King, four of the team's eight members are now fifty‑first‑rank Battle Soul Kings.

Such a team member level leads all other teams; it can be called a monster among monsters.

Facing such a team, to win one must resort to a strange tactic; ordinary head‑on confrontation is absolutely no match for the Tian Shui Team.

The next day.

All members of Shrek took the field, standing on the battlefield with calm, unwavering expressions.

The opposing side— all members of the Tian Shui Team— and surprisingly, the Tian Shui Team's Shui Bing'er walked out of the room and stepped onto the stage.

If it weren't clear to everyone that Shui Bing'er's strength was mysterious and that she was indeed a team member, and she still held the C‑position on the poster, truly clueless spectators would really think Shui Bing'er was the team's coach.

"Shui Bing'er, you really went onto the field." Dai Mubai said, showing a faint smile as he looked at Shui Bing'er.

The Tian Shui Team remained silent; as Shui Yue'er's soul rings unfolded one after another, everyone except Shui Bing'er activated their soul rings.

Shui Bing'er's ice‑blue eyes reflected everyone from the Shrek Team.

"Let me see, do you have the qualifications to let me unleash my martial soul?"

All of the Shrek Seven Monsters gathered their focus, standing one after another behind Tang San, with Zhu Zhuqing behind Ning Rongrong; they were also the rearmost positions in the team.

"Seven united, Martial Soul True Body."

In Tang San's hand, a hammer brimming with overbearing might instantly took shape, and as soul power continuously flowed in, the hammer kept swelling and growing larger.

The aura kept rising step by step, making the surrounding air turn viscous. Shui Bing'er gave a cold chuckle and slowly said: "No wonder he let me come up; it seems he had already guessed you would have a secret move against the Tian Shui Team; seven people merging soul power lets your second martial soul reach the level needed to unleash the Martial Soul True Body."

"Too bad, this isn't the true Martial Soul True Body."

Shui Bing'er's body had soul rings emerging one after another.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, red.

When the final soul ring appeared, everyone stared wide‑mouthed in shock at Shui Bing'er, and Bibi Dong even rose to her feet to stare at Shui Bing'er's seventh soul ring.

"Ten‑thousand‑year." "How is this possible? Another ten‑thousand‑year soul ring; where did these people hunt those ten‑thousand‑year spirit beasts? How can I find no trace of those monsters?"

Bibi Dong's scepter was about to be crushed.

Now ten‑thousand‑year soul rings are everywhere, as if they were free.

"It seems these ten‑thousand‑year soul rings all come from the Po Tian Sect, or at least have some connection to it; Yang Yun, what secret do you actually have on you?"

Shui Bing'er paid no heed to how surprised those people were; her seventh soul ring lit up directly.

"Seventh Soul Skill — Ice Phoenix True Body."

"Lei!"

With a cry that seemed to pierce everyone's eardrums, an ice‑blue figure shot up from behind Shui Bing'er; the temperature on the spot instantly dropped by more than ten degrees and continued to fall.

"Seventh Soul Skill — Frost Snow Withers."

Tang San only felt the hammer handle instantly pierce his bones with cold; if he hadn't immediately deployed the Xuan Yu Hand to protect his palm, the Haotian Hammer would likely have slipped from his grip.

"What a terrifying martial soul, actually the legendary ice phoenix; having not made a move for so long, have you been in seclusion breaking through?"

"Shrek really is ill‑fated, constantly running into such terrifying opponents; it's as if heaven itself doesn't want Shrek to win."

"No matter what heaven means, I, Tang San, am determined to win the championship; Haotian Hammer — Chaotic Drape Wind."

Endless surging soul power raged through the meridians of his body, vast soul power gathering in both hands and the Haotian Hammer.

As Tang San waved, the soul power‑driven force could faintly resist the surrounding chill from the outside.

But soon Tang San realized something was off.

The flow of soul power diminished.

"Tang San, my soul skill is a wide‑range, no‑blind‑spot control; even if your Haotian Hammer — Chaotic Drape Wind hammer technique can block the frontal onslaught of cold air, your teammates don't have Soul Saint‑level soul power."

"Admit defeat, I haven't yet used my fusion technique with my sister; once used, it would likely cause uncontrollable consequences, and if mishap caused casualties, it wouldn't be worth the loss."

Tang San saw a hint of killing intent in Shui Bing'er's eyes; not striking now to kill himself might also be out of fear of those from the Spirit Hall.

Otherwise.

Once the martial soul fusion technique is unleashed, the Shrek Seven Monsters' Seven United Martial Soul Fusion Technique will be broken in an instant; even just the backlash could make the Shrek Seven Monsters drink a whole pot.

"Xiao Gang, the students' lives are important; admit it." Flanders couldn't bear to watch the scene before him, turning his face to look at the audience stands.

Yu Xiaogang looked at that scene on the field with an extremely grim expression.
