Chapter 67: Pie San, This Advantage Is Mine
Suotuocheng, Grand Soul Duel Arena.
The Shrek Academy that had been lying low for many days returned to the Grand Soul Duel Arena; countless spectators who liked watching soul master battles, and nobles, came over as soon as they caught wind of it.
They even defeated the infamous Berserk Team right at the moment of their return.
Especially Tang San, the captain of Shrek Academy's team, who possesses an unprecedented ten-thousand-year fourth ring, and team member Zhu Zhuqing, who is likewise a terrifying monster with a ten-thousand-year fourth ring; now, any match involving the Shrek team at the Grand Soul Duel Arena sees the stands packed to capacity.
The Grand Soul Duel Arena, in order to find a suitable opponent for Shrek Academy, racked its brains to contact higher-level teams.
But those people, upon hearing they would have to fight the Shrek team, all without exception refused to participate in the match.
After all, with a ten-thousand-year fourth ring, one could still try to compete by rank; even if they couldn't win, they could still gain something, right?
But with two ten-thousand-year fourth-ring soul master monsters, you're not just using me as a dog to walk for experience, are you? Who would be stupid enough to go up there just to be an experience baby?
Just when the Grand Soul Duel Arena was at a loss and feeling helpless, Qin Ming led the Imperial Douluo Team into the arena.
Moreover, they didn't need to pay any price and directly requested to fight the Shrek team.
The manager of the Grand Soul Duel Arena almost knelt down to Qin Ming.
What a good person.
Moreover, he's a good person who doesn't charge a fee; now we won't have to worry for several days.
It's simply fantastic.
Give materials for materials, give services for services; tea and snacks are all provided.
We only ask that the Imperial Douluo Team not retreat midway out of fear and run away.
As a result, upon seeing the Imperial Douluo Team's data, we were also stunned—they also have two ten-thousand-year fourth-ring monsters?
What kind of world is this.
When did the soul master world start the trend of ten-thousand-year fourth rings? The Imperial Douluo Team—couldn't they be students from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, which is directly under the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial family?
Sigh! We lost, we lost; this battle is a huge loss.
If I had known, I should have let them rest a few days first, after I finished doing enough publicity; then I would add seats to every spot in the Grand Soul Duel Arena that could accommodate them.
Never mind.
"Someone, go to the entrance and shout; draw in as many as you can, and stop admitting spectators before the battle starts."
After the manager said that, he immediately put on a grin and exchanged the two sides' data.
He puffed up his energy to hype that the clash between the two sides would definitely be very exciting and rewarding.
In short, as long as they engage in soul battles, the benefits will absolutely outweigh the drawbacks by a hundredfold.
Shrek Academy has no problems.
Imperial Douluo Team.
Qin Ming, seeing that the opposing Shrek team's data was missing one person, looked up at the team captain Yu Tianheng and vice-captain Dugu Yan.
"Our Imperial Douluo Team has its pride; the idea that numerical superiority bullying the few is not honorable in victory; but soul battles are about survival of the fittest—since they dared to enter, they naturally considered this issue."
"Whether to substitute someone out, Tianheng, Yanyan, you two captains decide; I am the team leader, analyzing the situation and weighing pros and cons, but the final decision rests with you."
Yu Tianheng glanced at Dugu Yan and fell into contemplation for a moment.
"Looking at the team composition, our sides' member structures are hardly different; we keep the aerial control, we keep the wind-riding; we keep the speed attack, we keep Oscar Luo; we keep control and strong attack as well." "The opposing side has two support-type soul masters, namely the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda versus the Nineheart Hibiscus; the opposing side only has one support-type left, while we have two defense-types."
Dugu Yan, with her blue eyes, turned to the brothers beside her and asked, "Stone Ink, Stone Grind, what do you think? We, as team leaders, advocate for fair equal numbers, but if you want to fight; fairness can also be disregarded."
Stone Ink and Stone Grind exchanged a glance, then nodded heavily, saying, "Sister Yan, we want to fight; the chance to go up against a ten-thousand-year fourth ring is rare; for fairness' sake, one of us brothers can sit out if not necessary."
Dugu Yan's eyes narrowed slightly as she said flatly, "There's no need for that; since we've decided to go out, we should give it our all and show our strength; otherwise, going up just to glance at a ten-thousand-year fourth ring? The spectators could watch from the stands."
Yu Tianheng put an arm around Stone Grind's brother's shoulder and smiled, saying, "Yanyan is right; since we've decided to take the field, we shouldn't wrong ourselves; for us, teammates matter more than fairness."
Qin Ming merely smiled at this, finding it understandable; there's no need to wrong oneself for others.
These students don't have simple backgrounds; if it weren't for Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng's strength, talent, and demeanor commanding respect, it would be impossible to suppress the members and become captains.
Moreover, Dugu Yan's ten-thousand-year fourth ring is stunningly beautiful.
If you replaced him with someone else, Stone Grind's brother would only wrong others and never wrong himself.
"Prepare well for the match, teacher; I have some other things to attend to, but I won't miss a second of your match." After saying that, Qin Ming turned and left the resting room.
In the spectator stands.
Not long after, once the host had sufficiently energized the atmosphere, the Shrek team and the Imperial Douluo Team finally walked out from their respective sides.
Qin Ming also came to the spectator stands, standing beside Flander.
"Long time no see, Dean Flander; I never imagined we would meet in this way."
Flander's lenses gleamed as he looked at the battle platform: "When I saw that the opposing team's leader was your name, I wondered if it was you—you know, you were the record holder in our academy for being the first to break through to Soul Elder."
"Imperial Douluo Team, they actually have two ten-thousand-year fourth rings; you really have it, Qin Ming—what a relief, hahaha."
Qin Ming smiled embarrassedly and said, "These are all the students' own resources and opportunities; as team leader and teacher, I merely played a guiding role; just to keep them from getting hurt."
The Grandmaster couldn't get a word in edgewise beside him, merely sinking into slight contemplation upon seeing Qin Ming's academy insignia.
His gaze stared blankly at Yu Tianheng on the battle platform above, gradually sinking into memory, and his eyes also gradually dimmed.
At this moment, the host also timely introduced Yu Tianheng's family, which comes from the Upper Three Sects' Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
The Grandmaster's head unconsciously lowered a bit.
Beside him, Qin Ming noticed these small details but didn't interject; he simply watched the match in silence.
When both sides revealed their soul rings, each was slightly startled by the opponent's ring configuration.
On the Imperial Douluo Team's side, they were surprised by the opposing side's ten-thousand-year fourth-ring controllers and speed attackers, Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing, whose strength indeed seemed not weak.
Shrek Academy was surprised that Ye Lingling, a Nineheart Hibiscus support-type soul master, actually possessed a ten-thousand-year fourth ring.
Unlike the data obtained by the Imperial Douluo Team, the information Shrek Academy received basically lacked any concrete details about the ten-thousand-year ring possessors; they only knew the opposing side had two ten-thousand-year fourth-ring soul masters.
They never expected it to be the support-type Ye Lingling.
And also Dugu Yan, who is likewise a control-type.
Tang San's mouth corner twitched slightly; if the opposing control-system soul master's secret soul skill is merely snake poison, then it's easy to handle.
Pie San this paragraph is for laying groundwork; later will abuse three and abuse Yu Xiaogang...
