Chapter 35: Imperial Fighting Team VS Shrek Academy

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The Arena of the Tiandou Royal Academy was already buzzing with noise.

The spectator stands were packed with teachers and students from the academy, and there were even some Soul Masters from other academies who had come to watch the battle.

Among them were people from the royal family of the Heaven Dou Empire.

"Where has he gone during this time?" Qian Renxue sat in the primary seat of the royal family in the spectator area, her gaze fixed straight ahead into the distance.

Over these past six years, the intelligence network of the Spirit Hall had not found a single trace of Zhexian, as if he had vanished into thin air.

Puffer Douluo and Snake Spear Douluo, hiding in the shadows, had already seen through everything.

"The Young Mistress seems to be... regarding this Zhexian..."

"Shh, don't let the Young Mistress hear you."

One hour later.

The exchange match between Shrek Academy and the Imperial Fighting Team officially began!

In the center of the Arena, two high platforms stood facing each other.

The seven members of Shrek Academy stood on one side; Dai Mubai, Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ma Hongjun, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Oscar stood in a row, their expressions solemn, their eyes flashing with the light of confidence.

On the other side, the seven members of the Imperial Fighting Team were full of vigor; Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Yufeng, Aosiluo, Shi Mo, and Shi Mo stood straight, their gazes filled with fighting spirit.

Zhexian stood quietly at the edge of the field, his gaze as calm as water, as if the outcome of this match had nothing to do with him.

But his presence made the members of the Imperial Fighting Team feel much more confident, while the group from Shrek Academy felt a trace of invisible pressure.

The referee walked to the center of the field and announced loudly: "This exchange match is intended for the exchange of soul skills and mutual improvement. Will the members of both sides please prepare; the match is about to begin!"

As the referee's voice fell, the atmosphere in the arena instantly became tense.

The members of both sides looked at each other, their eyes flashing with intense fighting spirit.

"The match begins!"

Following the referee's command, the members of both sides released their martial souls simultaneously.

In an instant, the light of Soul Rings shone on the field, and powerful soul power fluctuations swept across the entire Arena.

On the side of the Imperial Fighting Team, Yu Tianheng's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul erupted instantly, the power of thunder swirling around him, his momentum astonishing.

Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorus Snake martial soul also appeared rapidly, poisonous mist permeating the air, making one shudder.

Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia martial soul emitted a soft light, providing powerful support for her teammates.

On the side of Shrek Academy, Dai Mubai's White Tiger martial soul let out a roar, its might not inferior to Yu Tianheng's in the slightest.

Tang San's Blue Silver Grass martial soul spread rapidly, controlling the rhythm on the field.

Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul shone brilliantly, providing powerful amplification for her teammates.

The battle was on the verge of breaking out.

"First soul skill, Thunder Dragon Claw!"

Yu Tianheng launched the attack first, the power of thunder condensing into a massive thunder dragon claw, lunging straight at the Shrek Academy formation.

"Second soul skill, White Tiger Intense Light Wave!"

Dai Mubai did not show weakness, the White Tiger Intense Light Wave meeting the attack head-on; the two powerful forces of soul power collided in mid-air, erupting with a deafening roar.

At the same time, Dugu Yan's poisonous mist spread rapidly, attempting to block the line of sight of Shrek Academy.

However, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass martial soul grew rapidly, binding the Shrek members with Blue Silver Grass to prevent them from getting separated.

"Mere poisonous mist, watch as I burn it clean for you!"

Ma Hongjun's phoenix flames soared into the sky, the scorching fire evaporating the poisonous mist on the field.

Yufeng dodged rapidly, but was still caught by the aftermath of the flames, appearing somewhat disheveled.

"Yufeng!" Dugu Yan said with a serious face.

"Received! Vice-captain!"

"First soul skill, Wind Bell Slashing Blade!" Yufeng leaped, releasing cyan Wind Blades that smashed toward Ma Hongjun.

The sudden Wind Blades left Ma Hongjun unable to dodge in time; after a few evasive maneuvers in mid-air, he was still struck by the Wind Blades and sent flying.

"Ma Hongjun!"

"Fatty!"

Tang San and the others looked at Ma Hongjun lying motionless on the ground, unable to help feeling some anger in their hearts.

"Oscar, go see how Fatty is doing." Dai Mubai turned his head to show concern for Fatty's injuries while fighting against Yu Tianheng.

"I say, it's better not to be distracted when Soul Masters are battling!"

Just then, Yu Tianheng suddenly shouted.

"Second soul skill, Thunderous Might!"

His body was instantly enveloped by the power of thunder, and he looked like a god of thunder descended; the powerful soul power fluctuations caused the entire Arena to tremble.

Seeing this, Dai Mubai released his first soul skill without hesitation: "First soul skill, White Tiger Protective Barrier!"

Bang!

Boom—

In an instant, the entire Arena erupted with dazzling light.

Everyone on the field was pushed back several steps by this powerful impact, and the rhythm of the battle was instantly disrupted.

However, in this brief chaos, Yu Tianheng's figure suddenly appeared at the rear of Shrek Academy.

His thunder power condensed rapidly, closing in directly on Ning Rongrong.

"Not good!" Tang San's expression changed, and he quickly pulled Ning Rongrong back, but it was too late.

The thunderous power of Yu Tianheng struck Ning Rongrong instantly, knocking her flying.

The light of Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda dimmed, and the amplification effect vanished instantly.

Having lost the support of Ning Rongrong, the combat power of Shrek Academy was instantly greatly reduced.

Dugu Yan's poisonous mist spread rapidly, and she suddenly raided to Oscar's side.

"A food-system Soul Master seems somewhat redundant."

After saying this, Dugu Yan delivered a sweep, kicking Oscar out of the arena.

In an instant, the Shrek seven had directly lost three members.

However, the figure of Zhu Zhuqing flashed by like a ghost, instantly breaking through their defensive line and heading straight for Ye Lingling.

"Lingling, watch out!" Dugu Yan turned her head to warn.

"Don't worry, Vice-Captain, we are here!"

The brothers Shi Mo and Shi Mo suddenly appeared, one of them landing and smashing Zhu Zhuqing out of the arena.

"Zhuqing!" Xiao Wu witnessed with her own eyes Zhu Zhuqing being smashed out of the arena and falling unconscious, and a surge of anger instantly rose in her heart.

"Many thanks, two brothers."

Ye Lingling slightly closed her eyes, and the light of the Nine Heart Begonia instantly intensified, providing powerful recovery abilities for her teammates.

The battle entered a white-hot stage; although Shrek Academy had lost four members—Ning Rongrong, Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing, and Oscar—the remaining three still resisted tenaciously.

Tang San's Blue Silver Grass martial soul spread rapidly, attempting to control the rhythm on the field, while Dai Mubai's White Tiger martial soul clashed head-on with Yu Tianheng's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon; both sides went back and forth, with soul skills emerging one after another.

Xiao Wu's figure shuttled across the battlefield like a ghost, and her Soft Technique soul skill left the members of the Imperial Fighting Team unable to defend against her.

However, the coordination of the Imperial Fighting Team was extremely tacit; the defensive power of the brothers Shi Mo and Shi Mo was extremely strong, and they kept Ye Lingling tightly protected at all times, not giving Xiao Wu any opportunity.

"Xiao Wu, watch out!" Tang San suddenly shouted.

PS: I am really not padding the plot; the battle description is truly a plot necessity!!
