For some reason, in that instant, Ning Tian's presence seemed to expand infinitely, making everyone standing before him feel minuscule. Even Dai Weisi was no exception.
"Such arrogance," Dai Weisi sneered, turning his gaze to Zhu Zhuqing. "Zhuqing, now that Mubai is ruined, if you regret your choice, there's still time. After the competition, return to the family with your sister and admit your mistake. For her sake, I can show mercy."
Zhu Zhuqing's expression turned icy. "I don't believe I've done anything wrong, I don't need your mercy. I control my own fate. As for you, you might be able to beat that castrated Dai Mubai, but whether you can defeat Shrek's team remains to be seen."
"Hahaha" Dai Weisi laughed, already envisioning himself as the future emperor of the Star Luo Empire now that Dai Mubai was out of the picture. "Fine, very well. I hope you don't regret this. Oh, and don't forget, your next opponent is the Spirit Hall Academy. You won't even get the chance to face us. I'll be waiting for the day you come begging on your knees. And as for the ignorant brat beside you, he'll deeply regret the day he made this decision. Let's go."
With that, Dai Weisi led the Star Luo Royal Academy team away.
Zhu Zhuyun gave Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Tian a deep, lingering look before sighing and following the team.
...
Moments later, the match between Shrek Academy and the Star Luo Royal Academy finally began.
Shrek's lineup consisted of Tang San, Dai Mubai, Yu Tianheng, Xiao Wu, Ning Tao, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar; five Spirit Ancestors and two level 35 Spirit Elders. This was Shrek's strongest configuration.
When Dai Mubai's eyes locked onto Dai Weisi at the front, they blazed with intense light.
Dai Weisi, already seething, seized the chance to mock him. "Well, if it isn't Eunuch Dai! I heard you not only lost your fiance but also turned yourself into a eunuch. You... honestly, you've practically handed me the throne on a silver platter. Even if you knew you couldn't compete, did you really have to mutilate yourself? After this competition, just come back with me quietly. Don't worry, as your big brother, I won't harm you."
He made no effort to lower his voice, and with the enhanced hearing of the soul masters in the audience, the revelation that Dai Mubai had lost his fiance and become a eunuch sent shockwaves through the crowd.
The representatives from the Star Luo Empire narrowed their eyes, their gazes toward Dai Mubai turning cold.
It was clear that Dai Mubai was now out of the running.
Publicly exposed as a eunuch in front of the two empires and the Spirit Hall, Dai Mubai's eyes turned bloodshot, his breath ragged. Already twisted by his castration, he despised being called a eunuch. In that moment, he silently vowed that if he couldn't have a good life, neither would Dai Weisi. He wanted Dai Weisi to suffer the same fate.
The referee stepped between the two teams, signaling them to release their martial souls.
The Star Luo Royal Academy boasted six Spirit Ancestors and one Spirit Elder, with Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun at levels 49 and 47, respectively.
In comparison, Shrek had only five Spirit Ancestors and two Spirit Elders. This disparity led Dai Weisi to underestimate Shrek.
"Begin!" the referee commanded, and the match commenced.
"Ning Tao, assist me!" Dai Mubai charged forward, empowered by Ning Tao's boosts to his strength, speed, soul power, and defense by fifty percent. His first and third soul rings lit up simultaneously, granting him speed rivaling that of an agility-attack Spirit Ancestor as he rushed toward Dai Weisi.
Dai Weisi sneered, activating his White Tiger Barrier and White Tiger Vajra Transformation. A powerful aura surged forth as he charged at Dai Mubai.
But the expected outcome; knocking Dai Mubai down in one blow didn't happen.
Though Dai Mubai was pushed back, thanks to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's enhancement and Tang San's Blue Silver Grass wrapped around his waist, he sustained only minor injuries.
"Dai Weisi, don't be careless," Zhu Zhuyun warned, sensing something amiss. Recalling her sister's earlier words, she urged caution.
At the same time, an auxiliary light shot into her from behind, and Zhu Zhuyun's body vanished in an instant, lunging toward Tang San.
Clearly, after Tang San saved Dai Mubai, she identified him as the greatest threat.
Tang San's eyes flashed with purple light, seemingly oblivious to Zhu Zhuyun's approach. He dismissed his Blue Silver Grass, and black light surged in his left hand as he summoned his Clear Sky Hammer martial soul.
As Zhu Zhuyun reached him, his second soul ring ignited, unleashing the Demon Bear Hammer—a stronger, wider-ranging attack. The massive shadow of a Demon Bear locked onto Zhu Zhuyun, leaving her no escape, and the hammer struck down.
Twin martial souls!
The sight stunned the representatives from the Star Luo Empire and the Spirit Hall.
Those from the New Heaven Dou Battle Team covered their foreheads, thinking, 'Here we go again; another fool walking right into the Clear Sky Hammer. This hammer's intelligence-draining effect is terrifying.'
Boom!
Under the immense force of the Clear Sky Hammer, Zhu Zhuyun, an agility-attack soul master, was gravely injured and lost her ability to fight.
By then, Oscar had finished making his speed sausages.
He distributed them to Tang San, Xiao Wu, Yu Tianheng, and Ma Hongjun, granting the four power-attack soul masters the speed of agility-attack Spirit Ancestors. They pounced on the remaining Star Luo team members like ravenous wolves.
With Tang San wielding the world's top tool martial soul and Yu Tianheng possessing the world's top beast martial soul, they were unstoppable, cutting through their opponents like gods slaying demons.
Soon, only Dai Weisi remained.
They didn't intervene, leaving him to Dai Mubai.
In a dramatic twist, Dai Weisi initially had the upper hand, but with Tang San and the others watching intently, he couldn't focus entirely on Dai Mubai. Moreover, Dai Mubai had Ning Tao's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda boosts, Oscar's speed sausages, and an endless supply of recovery sausages.
Gradually, Dai Weisi's advantage faded, and he was worn down by Dai Mubai until he was defeated.
"Dai Weisi, now you'll pay for your words," Dai Mubai spat, still unsatisfied. His fourth soul ring blazed to life.
As he prepared to unleash his fourth soul skill, White Tiger Meteor Shower, to barrage Dai Weisi, the Star Luo Royal Academy's leader shouted from below, "Stop! The Star Luo Royal Academy concedes!"
But Dai Mubai acted as if he hadn't heard, continuing to release the White Tiger Meteor Shower, specifically targeting Dai Weisi's lower body.
"Ahhh!"
Amidst agonizing screams, Dai Weisi was riddled with holes, reduced to a bloody mess, and fainted.
