After reading the information provided by the Great Soul Arena, the Master sighed deeply. The entire document didn't mention the opponents' Soul Skills or their effects. He understood this; it wasn't that the Great Soul Arena didn't want to provide the information, but that they couldn't.
Flender said, "Little Gang, didn't you ask if Cheng Xiao would participate in the team battles when you agreed? By agreeing so hastily, it'll probably be difficult for us, Shrek, to win against them."
"I thought about it at the time, but there was nothing I could do. The academy doesn't have any money, and the price they offered was so high. I had to agree," the Master shook his head. "To be honest, it's my fault for not thinking it through."
"Alright, don't blame yourself too much. Our only difficulty at Shrek right now is Cheng Xiao. If he doesn't participate in the team battles, what are our chances of winning?" Flender considered for a moment, then asked.
Hearing this, the Master thought for a moment and said, "Without Cheng Xiao, I estimate the gap won't be too big, maybe an eight-to-two split. We have eight, and they have two."
"Is that so..." Flender pushed up the crystal frames of his glasses, then stood up and said to the Master, "You arrange the tactics for the children later. Leave Cheng Xiao to me. Perhaps, we at Shrek can really win that ten thousand Gold Soul Coins."
"What do you plan to do?" the Master asked, puzzled.
Flender shook his head, not explaining to the master, and turned to leave Shrek's rest area.
Watching Flender leave, the master was also a little dazed, but if this troublesome problem could be solved, it would be a rare good thing.
After all, Shrek desperately needed money right now.
An hour later, the Shrek team arrived in the rest area.
"Teacher, who are our opponents today?" After everyone was assembled, Tang San walked in front of the master and asked curiously.
The master did not respond to Tang San immediately, but placed the information on the table, then said with a serious expression, "These are the opponents you will be facing today, take a look."
Of course, the master did not include Cheng Xiao's information, in order to prevent everyone's confidence from being damaged.
Important combatants like Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun had all been beaten. It was easy for them to lose confidence and not be able to perform to their original strength, which was something he didn't want to see.
Right now, if Shrek Academy forfeited the match, it would be giving up its income. It would also indirectly ruin the Shrek team's reputation. If that happened, whether or not they could continue competing in the Great Soul Arena would be a question.
Furthermore, without money, Shrek Academy would go bankrupt. Without money, how could he cultivate Tang San into a powerful Soul Master to prove his theories correct?
Therefore, for Shrek and for himself, the Grandmaster chose to hide the fact that Cheng Xiao could participate. Of course, it wasn't exactly hiding, because Cheng Xiao might not even be able to play. It all depended on Flender, who had left.
After listening to the Grandmaster, the Shrek team took a look at the information on the table. After a moment, everyone in the resting room fell silent.
They knew something about the Royal Fight Team's reputation. Whether it was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon or the Jade Phosphorous Serpent, such powerful Martial Souls were a huge challenge for them. If they weren't careful, they could easily fall into a disadvantage and lose the match.
Seeing everyone silent and their morale low, the Grandmaster said in a deep voice, "The Royal Fight Team is indeed strong, but not invincible. In terms of Martial Souls, Dai Mubai's White Tiger Martial Soul isn't weak. Oscar has a very strong continuous recovery ability, and Ma Hongjun's mutated Martial Soul and Xiao Wu's amazing soft skills are powerful weapons."
"Zhu Zhuqing is extremely fast, and Ning Rongrong's powerful amplification abilities are all strong methods for us to compete with them, so you don't need to worry."
"Moreover, you are much younger than them. Even if you lose, it doesn't matter. But, if you've already lost your confidence in the Soul Duel, then don't participate in this Soul Duel."
As the leader of Shrek, Master knew the pride that burned within the hearts of his students. This was the result of his constant efforts over the past period; as long as they saw themselves as geniuses, then they truly would become geniuses.
If Shrek were to back down now, all his efforts would be for naught.
Provoked by Master's words, Dai Mubai couldn't help himself. He turned his head towards Tang San, who was silent, and asked, "Xiao San, what do you think? You are the soul of our Shrek team; this matter should be decided by you."
Hearing this, a faint glint flashed in Tang San's eyes. He slowly clenched his fists, a strong fighting spirit surging from his heart. He whispered, "Teacher is right. We are the Shrek Seven Devils, we are monsters."
"Since the Royal Fight Team is blocking our path, then let us fight!"
"Very good, worthy of being my disciple!" Seeing Master cooperating with him, Master stepped forward and patted Tang San's shoulder, smiling sincerely. "Xiao San, this team soul battle must not be surrendered easily until the very end. Even if you lose, you must fight with the spirit of our Shrek team!"
"Also, I want to remind you, in this team soul battle, you cannot injure your opponents, and the tactics for this soul battle will all be arranged by Tang San. Do you have any objections?"
"No." The Shrek members shook their heads.
"Alright, teacher." Tang San nodded slightly, his heart filled with excitement. Teacher actually trusts me so much, not only handing over command of this tactic to me but also allowing me to organize the tactics freely. He truly deserves to be my teacher!
In an instant, Tang San was deeply moved.
"Shrek, will win!" Tang San was the first to extend his right hand, then looked at Xiao Wu, Oscar, Dai Mubai, and the others from Shrek. Seeing this, those who understood what Tang San wanted to do also extended their right hands one by one. Then, everyone's palms overlapped, and they shouted, "Shrek, will win!"
Just as Shrek was brimming with fighting spirit, the Royal Fight Team's resting room also received information about the Shrek team and the others.
"These members of the Shrek team, aren't they the Soul Masters who harassed Lingling some time ago?" Yu Tianheng frowned, putting down the information in his hand, and said coldly.
"Yes, leader." Yu Feng said, "When we fight tonight, should we give them a taste of their own medicine?"
"Don't rush this matter." Yu Tianheng glanced at Yu Feng and said calmly, "Let's wait for Teacher Qin Ming to return and see how he arranges things."
"That's true," Yu Feng thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "By the way, Captain, I heard Teacher Qin Ming say that after this team soul battle, we'll be returning to Heaven Dou City, right?"
"I don't know, I'm not sure," Yu Tianheng shook his head.
"Yu Feng, why do you have so many questions?" Dugu Yan, who was leaning next to Yu Tianheng, glanced at Yu Feng impatiently and said, "Instead of asking so much now, you should just wait for Teacher Qin to notify us."
"However, our Royal Fight Team has been out for such a long time, and knowing Teacher Qin's personality, we should be going back soon."
As she spoke, Dugu Yan's mind conjured the image of a green-haired old man, and after being away for so long, she missed her grandfather.
Ao Si Luo said at this moment, "In all our team soul battles so far, we haven't encountered any particularly strong opponents. These people are really too weak. They're not even as good as the teams in Heaven Dou City."
"Ao Si Luo, don't be too arrogant. We haven't met the Soul Master teams from the Five Element Academies or the Martial Soul Hall Academy yet. Otherwise, we definitely wouldn't have won so easily," Yu Tianheng's eyes flashed with lightning as he coldly reminded him.
Along the way, although they hadn't met any formidable Soul Master teams, Yu Tianheng knew it wasn't because they were too strong, but because their opponents were too weak.
It would be a huge mistake to let yourself get the illusion of being powerful just because your opponents are weak!
"Oh, I got it, boss." Ao Si Luo scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed, after Yu Tianheng reminded him.
"Cheng Xiao, is Qin Ming-laoshi arranging for you to participate in the team soul battle tonight?" Yu Tianheng turned to look at Cheng Xiao, who was sitting in the corner, and asked curiously.
"I probably won't be participating, right?" Cheng Xiao shook his head slightly and said, "Qin Ming-laoshi didn't notify me to participate."
"I see." Yu Tianheng nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
"Lingling, why have you been sitting with Cheng Xiao lately? You're almost ignoring all of us." Yu Feng said.
"Get lost." Ye Lingling didn't even look at Yu Feng.
"Uh..." Yu Feng scratched his head and was about to say something, but Dugu Yan spoke first: "Yu Feng, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. If you try anything with Lingling again, watch out, I'll poison your third leg and make you Lingling's best friend for the rest of your life."
After saying this, Dugu Yan looked at Ao Si Luo, who was grinning beside her, and said, "You didn't say anything, did you? You're the same, both of you be careful."
"Six…" Oscar immediately covered his mouth.
"Damn, Sister Yan, aren't you playing favorites?" Yu Feng said, a little displeased, "You don't poison him when Lingling and Cheng Xiao sit together, but you poison us. Isn't that a bit too much?"
"Too much?" Dugu Yan chuckled. "If you can withstand my poison like Cheng Xiao, you can sit wherever you want, as long as you can handle it."
Dugu Yan's words silenced Yu Feng, and his gaze towards Cheng Xiao was filled with envy.
After Yu Feng settled down, the lounge finally enjoyed a moment of peace.
Suddenly, the door to the room was pushed open, and Qin Ming walked in.
"Teacher." Seeing the visitor, the Royal Fight Team members stood up and bowed slightly to Qin Ming.
Qin Ming waved his hand, signaling them to sit down. With a strange expression, he asked, "Have you all read the information sent by Director Ao?"
"Teacher, we've all seen it," Yu Tianheng said.
"Then let's arrange the tactics, Tianheng," Qin Ming said, turning to Cheng Xiao. "Cheng Xiao, come with me for a moment; I have a few things to say to you."
