Chapter 79: Soul Battle!
Zhu Zhuqing and Lin Suyun didn't speak, but their tense bodies said it all.
Inside the room, only the two people remained unusually quiet.
Yu Xiaogang stood by the table, his face showing no anger, only a deep, thoughtful expression.
The fact that even Yu Tianheng's arrogant nephew was willing to become a team member shows that this young man named Ye Xuanming could not possibly be just arrogant.
Two against seven, this is more like a declaration.
A declaration of absolute confidence in one's own abilities.
The other quiet person was Tang San.
He stood beside Xiao Wu, gently patting her back to comfort her, his face expressionless.
But inside his heart, a raging storm had already begun.
Ye Xuanming, Blue Silver Grass, level 43.
These words, like needles, repeatedly pierced his understanding.
Despite sharing the Blue Silver Grass martial soul, he possesses the advantages of the Mysterious Heaven Skill and twin martial souls, yet he is currently only level 32.
What gives them the right?
That anger at being slighted was like a venomous snake, coiling in his heart, its cold tongue licking at his reason.
He didn't lash out; he simply buried his humiliation and resentment deep inside.
"We'll take this match."
Yu Xiaogang's voice wasn't loud, but it instantly drowned out all the noise.
"Xiao Gang, have you gone mad?" Flander was the first to shout.
"They're humiliating us! Two against seven, if we lose, where will Shrek's face be?"
"If we flee without a fight, Shrek Academy will lose all face right now." Yu Xiaogang's tone was completely calm.
He looked at Dai Mubai, then glanced at Ma Hongjun and the others.
"Anger solves nothing."
"The arrogance of our opponents is precisely a testament to their strength."
"This is an opportunity for you to see for yourselves just how big the gap is between yourselves and the top geniuses on the mainland."
Yu Xiaogang's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on the burning anger of the crowd.
Although Dai Mubai and the others were still indignant, they did not utter another word in rebuttal.
Flander opened his mouth, but in the end he sighed. He believed in Yu Xiaogang's judgment.
"Alright," he said through gritted teeth to the crowd.
"If we're going to fight, then let's fight like Shrek!"
"Let them see that there are no cowards at Shrek Academy!"
The manager, holding the signed letter of intent, practically scrambled out of the hotel.
He could even imagine the madness that would engulf the entire city of Soto once the gimmick of "The Two Monsters of the Royal Fighters vs. The Shrek Seven Devils" spread.
This is absolutely the most exciting match in the history of the Soto Arena.
That night, the message spread like wildfire, reaching every corner of the Soto Arena.
"Have you heard? The Royal Fighting Team is going to have a team battle with the Shrek Seven Devils!"
"What's so strange about that? Haven't the Royal Fighting Team been stomping on weaker opponents every day these past few days?"
"This time is different! The Royal Fighting Team is only sending two people!"
"What? Two against seven? You're not kidding, are you?"
"Absolutely true! One is their team leader, that monster Soul Sect member Ye Xuanming, and the other is said to be the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"
The entire Soul Arena was in an uproar.
Countless Soul Masters and spectators flocked to the ticket office, and the ticket price that night skyrocketed, yet it was still snapped up in an instant.
Everyone wanted to witness this unprecedented and outrageously arrogant showdown.
As night fell, the main arena at the center of the Soto Grand Arena was already packed.
The clamor of tens of thousands of spectators merged into a massive sound wave that nearly lifted the dome of the entire arena.
Bright lights focused on the center of the fighting arena, and everyone craned their necks, waiting for the protagonist to appear.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the host shouted loudly in his highly rousing voice.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to tonight's night of revelry!"
"What is about to happen is the most incredible showdown in the history of the Soto Arena!"
"On one side is the Silver Soul Team, the Shrek Seven Devils, who have won twenty-two consecutive team battles!"
"On the other side is the Royal Fighting Team from the Heavenly Fighting Royal Academy, who has swept through the Barak Kingdom without ever being defeated!"
"But tonight, they only sent two people!"
"Will the Shrek Seven Devils defend their undefeated glory, or will the Royal Fighting Team use their absolute strength to stage a miracle of two against seven?"
"Let's welcome both teams onto the field with the warmest cheers!"
Amidst thunderous cheers, the passageways on both sides of the Battle Arena lit up simultaneously.
The Shrek Seven Devils were the first to appear in everyone's sight.
Dai Mubai walked at the front, his short golden hair gleaming under the lights, his evil eyes burning with an indomitable fighting spirit.
Tang San followed closely behind, still maintaining a calm demeanor, but beneath that calm lay a volcano about to erupt.
Xiao Wu, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing, and Lin Suyun all wore solemn expressions.
They stood in a row, and the combined aura of the seven of them formed a force that should not be underestimated.
A moment later, two figures slowly emerged from the other side of the passage.
Ye Xuanming walked ahead, his expression calm, as if he were about to face not a fierce battle, but a casual stroll.
Ning Rongrong followed beside him, her little face full of excitement and anticipation. She curiously looked at the enthusiastic audience around her, her little hands tightly holding Ye Xuanming's arm.
The calm demeanor of the two stood in stark contrast to the tense Shrek Seven Devils opposite them.
"Both sides, prepare!"
The referee raised his right hand and swung it down forcefully.
"Activate your Martial Soul!"
The Shrek Seven Devils released their martial souls almost simultaneously.
Dai Mubai roared, his body instantly expanding, white fur covering his entire body, and three soul rings—two yellow and one purple—pulsating beneath his feet.
Blue Silver Grass quietly spread in Tang San's palm, with two yellow and one purple rings appearing.
Xiao Wu, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing, and Lin Suyun also revealed their martial souls and soul rings.
The auras of the seven Soul Masters intertwined, creating a formidable force.
A gasp of amazement rippled through the audience; the team's average strength truly lived up to the title of Silver Soul.
However, the next second, all the astonishment turned into deathly silence.
Ning Rongrong gave a soft hum, and with her fair right palm raised, a dazzling nine-story pagoda appeared out of thin air.
"Nine treasures transform into glazed tiles, the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda!"
Those in the audience who knew what they were talking about had already exclaimed in surprise.
Immediately afterwards, three spirit rings rose from beneath her feet.
Yellow, purple, purple!
"My God! The second ring of the millennium!"
A commotion broke out in the crowd. The second ring in a thousand years—this was something only a genius among geniuses could accomplish.
Flander's pupils suddenly contracted. The young sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School truly lived up to his reputation.
However, this is just the beginning.
