Director Ao's words made all the students except Aosqin feel another chill in their hearts. The more they understood their opponents' information, the less confident they felt about whether they could really defeat an opponent of that level.
"Since the opponent's strength is so powerful, why does the Great斗魂 Arena believe that our Shrek Seven Monsters team can defeat them? After all, in our team, besides six Soul Elder–level members, there are also members at the Great Soul Master level."
"You don't need to be so modest," Director Ao replied with a smile. "Although your soul power levels are ranked near the bottom among all Soul Elder–level teams, your record of complete victories in team battles over the past month is the best proof of your strength.
"As the saying goes, existence is reasonable. No matter what your soul power levels are, in the current Great斗魂 Arena, you are the strongest team at the Soul Elder level. You are the best choice for the Great斗魂 Arena to counter that team."
The conversation between Director Ao and the Shrek students temporarily came to a halt here. Knowing that the students needed some time to think and discuss, Director Ao politely left the room that looked like a VIP lounge.
As soon as Director Ao left, the students immediately began discussing. Strangely, Aosqin did not join the discussion at once.
After carefully observing the furnishings in the room, Aosqin used the sofa backrest and his body to form a small space that could block sightlines from all directions. With a slight movement of his right hand, the mobile phone that was clearly still in a call state was taken out of his trouser pocket.
On the lit soul-guided display screen was a notification of one unread message. After opening it, Aosqin saw the following content:
"Agree to Director Ao. This team will be an opponent that can test the results of your training.
"Of course, you don't need to guarantee to the Great斗魂 Arena that you will definitely win this battle. Not only that, you can also ask the Great斗魂 Arena for some benefits for going into battle. If I remember correctly, the Great斗魂 Arena provides special rewards for teams that participate in battles on the central main斗魂 Arena stage." — Grandmaster
"I understand," Aosqin softly said into the phone, then cut off the communication.
It turned out that during the process of Director Ao leading the students toward this lounge, Aosqin, after thinking of some things, had already secretly dialed the Grandmaster's communication soul tool. The moment the Grandmaster connected, Aosqin reminded him not to make any sound through a certain frequency of tapping. The quick-reacting Grandmaster remained silent throughout and listened to the entire conversation between the students and Director Ao.
That message was the Grandmaster's response to the matter, and Aosqin's "I understand" was to tell the Grandmaster that he had received the information.
Putting away his phone, Aosqin sighed at how easily the will of the world could not be violated, and then walked toward the students who were still discussing.
There was nothing more to say. After waving his hand to attract the students' attention, Aosqin directly conveyed the Grandmaster's "guidance," and, using the excuse that "Tang San is the Grandmaster's direct disciple," which in fact had little real relevance, he forcibly assigned the task of "asking the Great斗魂 Arena for benefits" to Tang San.
After deciding to accept the Great斗魂 Arena's invitation and participate in this斗魂 battle, the students immediately began discussing the lineup of participants. Since the opponent's strength was so formidable, they naturally had to be cautious.
Ten minutes later, Director Ao appeared in the lounge again. With an elegant smile on his face, he asked the students, "Have you reached a conclusion in your discussion?"
Tang San, who had been forcibly chosen as the representative, stepped forward. "If I remember correctly, teams that participate in battles in the central main斗魂 Arena should receive additional rewards, right?"
Hearing Tang San say this sentence—which almost represented the Shrek Seven Monsters team's agreement to participate in the斗魂 battle—Director Ao secretly felt delighted and hurriedly said:
"Of course. For participating in the main斗魂 Arena battle, each soul master will receive a direct reward of five hundred gold soul coins. Considering that your side was invited by our Great斗魂 Arena this time, if you can win this battle, the斗魂 Arena is also willing to pay an additional ten thousand gold soul coins as a reward.
"However, regarding points, we cannot directly calculate your points according to silver斗魂-level badges. We can only calculate them according to the previous method."
Before Tang San could speak, Director Ao, afraid that the Shrek Seven Monsters might refuse the battle, immediately threw out more conditions:
"Although we cannot give you extra points without breaking the rules, within our authority, the Great斗魂 Arena can allow your opponents in today's one-on-one and two-on-two battles to directly concede. This will increase your number of victories and also allow you to fully prepare for tonight's team battle."
With things having reached this point, Tang San, who had not yet tempered his thick skin to Flander's level, did not continue to try to fight for more benefits. He directly stated that the Shrek Seven Monsters team was willing to accept the Great斗魂 Arena's invitation and fight that silver斗魂 team.
"We accept your invitation. Please provide us with detailed information about our opponents."
"Alright. I've already prepared the opponents' information. I'll have the staff deliver it to you shortly. For now, you can rest and change equipment in this lounge. When the time comes, staff will naturally lead you to the central main斗魂 Arena."
After leaving these instructions, Director Ao left the lounge once again. This time, his steps were slightly hurried, clearly intending to report to his superiors that the Shrek Seven Monsters team had agreed to participate in the斗魂 battle.
There were still a full two hours before the team battle began. Presumably, the Great斗魂 Arena would make some corresponding arrangements.
One minute later, the lounge door was knocked. After permission was granted, a staff member entered holding eight folders. After handing a folder to each student, the staff member politely withdrew.
After briefly flipping through the pages in the folder, Dai Mubai raised his head and said to the students, "The information provided by the Great斗魂 Arena is quite detailed. It'll probably take a lot of time to discuss it, so let's change our equipment first."
Ten minutes later, the eight Shrek Academy students sat around the table in the lounge, forming a circle, and began carefully reading the information about tonight's opponents.
At the same time, in a corner on the first floor of the Great斗魂 Arena, the teachers of Shrek Academy had gathered there.
After confirming that no one was paying attention to them, Flander spoke first:
"I didn't expect the Great斗魂 Arena to actually pay a certain price to approach the little monsters just for tonight's team battle victory. This is a great opportunity to fleece them. I wonder if the little monsters can negotiate themselves a good appearance price?"
"Hey, Flander, now is not the time to think about such things, right? We've seen the strength of the Royal Fighting Team. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon and the Jade Phosphor Serpent are both top-tier beast martial souls. On top of that, they have an advantage in soul power levels. This battle will not be easy for the little monsters.
"Do we really not need to send them the斗魂 videos of the Royal Fighting Team that we recorded over the past two days?" Zhao Wuji, unlike Flander's calmness, felt somewhat worried about tonight's battle of the Shrek Seven Monsters.
"There's no need to worry," before Flander could speak, the Grandmaster took over Zhao Wuji's words. "Precisely because the Royal Fighting Team is strong enough, fighting them can better test the children's growth in strength.
"As for collecting information about the opponents, it's better that we don't interfere. The Great斗魂 Arena will provide the little monsters with detailed information about the Royal Fighting Team."
Hearing the Grandmaster say this, Zhao Wuji could only temporarily put aside his worries and continue wandering around the Great斗魂 Arena with the other teachers, filming high-quality battle videos.
