Chapter 158 Tensions Rise, the Competition Begins
The highly anticipated Advanced Soul Master Tournament is fast approaching.
On the field, countless spectators craned their necks, eagerly awaiting the start of the duel.
They were all ordinary Soul Masters, but they all longed for a golden age in the Soul Master world.
Even His Majesty the Emperor of the Heavenly Dou Empire, who had not appeared in public for a long time, showed up before everyone.
Looking at the eager gazes of the audience below and the young faces of the participating Soul Masters.
His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire stood up and walked to the front of everyone.
"The Advanced Soul Master Tournament officially begins today!"
After uttering those brief words, His Majesty the Emperor turned and left, the smile on his face slowly fading.
Even from a great distance, Ma Hongjun could still clearly see the expression on His Majesty the Emperor's face.
He was puzzled as to why His Majesty the Emperor still looked so worried today.
Fortunately, no one paid attention to His Majesty the Emperor's condition; everyone was waiting for the battle to begin.
After Ning Fengzhi finished his opening remarks, the host quickly announced the participating teams for the day.
Ma Hongjun and the others waited quietly for their opponents.
"Round 1 of the Preliminary Round: Shrek Academy vs. Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
Upon hearing their opponent's name, the Shrek members exchanged bewildered glances, surprised by the unexpected coincidence.
"Hmph, what a coincidence! They look down on us, huh? Well then, we'll crush their Royal Academy team on the field."
Oscar chuckled coldly.
Dai Mubai narrowed his pupils, his expression turning icy cold.
"Fatty, you absolutely have to let me play later. I'm going to teach those guys a lesson."
"I want to see what makes the Heaven Dou Royal Academy so arrogant."
Dai Mubai gave the Royal Academy students a cold look.
"Okay, in a bit, it'll be me, Boss Dai, Xiao Wu, Huang Yuan, Jiang Zhu, Jing Ling, and Li Pingchuan going on stage together."
"Jiangzhu, you are the only support-type Soul Master. This battle may be tough for you."
After saying that, Ma Hongjun smiled and looked at Jiangzhu in front of him.
Jiangzhu didn't actually have much contact with the red-haired boy in front of her; the Shrek students were a few years younger than her on average.
In her view, no matter how mature these people were, they were still just younger brothers.
But she sensed a mature man's charm in Ma Hongjun.
She paused for a moment, then nodded, a blush slowly spreading across her cheeks.
After discussing their tactics, the group quickly arrived at the arena.
Tian Dou Royal Academy did not send its main team immediately, but only its second team to participate in the qualifiers.
Ma Hongjun had anticipated this, and he turned to look at his teammates with a light laugh.
"Back when we were at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, we got a good taste of their power."
"Now that we have another chance to clash, let's see how long their dominance can last."
Oscar immediately came over with a grin.
"I bet three minutes."
He held up three fingers in front of everyone, his playful expression showing he didn't take the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy seriously at all.
Dai Mubai scoffed lightly.
"Three minutes? Oscar, you're giving them too much credit. One minute! We only need one minute in this game."
After speaking, he looked at his teammates.
The group instantly understood Dai Mubai's meaning. Even Li Pingchuan and other new members of Shrek Academy showed a fighting spirit on their faces.
They need to take down the Royal Academy in one minute!
"Shrek Academy? Where on earth did this academy come from? Captain, I've never heard of it before."
A sweet, charming female voice drifted over from afar.
Immediately afterwards, a long-legged beauty with fair skin and long blonde hair slowly appeared in front of everyone.
The beautiful woman looked at the Shrek group with disdain, her arms crossed, as if she didn't want to have any further involvement with them.
The teammates behind her all wore disdainful expressions.
After all, they were all nobles of the Heaven Dou Empire, so how could they possibly look down on an unknown country bumpkin like Shrek?
"A noisy woman."
Xiao Wu gave the blonde, long-legged beauty a cold look.
Their momentum was not to be outdone.
Even before the match started, the two teams were already at loggerheads, locked in a fierce battle.
The blonde beauty never expected that Xiao Wu, that little brat, would dare to talk about her like that.
His eyes were filled with anger as he stared at Xiao Wu, a cold smile on his face.
"You country bumpkin who only knows how to talk big, wait until we fight, and I'll show you what I'm made of."
"I'll return those words to you verbatim. I hope you won't be left without even a chance to beg for mercy."
Xiao Wu turned her head away and gave a soft hum.
Her arrogant demeanor made the blonde beauty grit her teeth in hatred.
Just as I was about to say something, the referee arrived on the field.
"The match is about to begin. Please leave the field immediately if you are not a participant."
The two sides, on the verge of conflict, could only suppress their anger, and some of them walked off the field.
On the stands.
Emperor Xueye calmly gazed at the contestants below.
For him, whichever team wins, it represents the strength of their Heavenly Dou Empire.
However, in his heart, he hoped that the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy would win the championship.
After all, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy represents the face of the entire Heaven Dou Empire.
Therefore, his focus was more on the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Prince Xuexing's expression turned extremely unpleasant when he saw the Royal Academy's opponents.
He didn't really care when he drove that group of people away from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Geniuses can be found everywhere.
Even if these people are truly geniuses, so what?
Is there really no genius in the entire empire who can rival them?
What he cares about most is...
Why did Xue Qinghe use this incident to launch an attack on avalanches?
That's why he investigated all seven members of Shrek Academy.
The only thing that made him hesitate was Ning Fengzhi's daughter.
Prince Xuexing suspects that Xue Qinghe chose to attack the avalanche because of Ning Fengzhi's daughter.
This was done in order to gain Ning Fengzhi's favor.
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth in hatred.
If only I hadn't listened to Xue Beng's one-sided story and had just driven those people away.
He never expected that Ning Fengzhi's daughter would be in a remote school like Shrek.
He glanced at Ning Fengzhi sitting in front of him.
Prince Xuexing felt as if he couldn't breathe properly.
Ning Fengzhi seemed to notice Prince Xuexing's gaze and turned around to look.
A glint of light flashed in his eyes when he saw Prince Xuexing's gloomy face.
He had initially thought that Prince Xuexing would forget about the Shrek Academy members, but seeing Prince Xuexing's expression, he realized that he might have been wrong; this person did not seem to have forgotten about the Shrek Academy members.
Moreover, he seemed to have some understanding of the Shrek Seven Devils' strength.
Otherwise, the expression on his face wouldn't be so unpleasant.
