Chapter 43 Begins!_1

Sky Spirit Advanced Soul Master Academy on this side quickly lined up, showing a typical traditional formation.

Three Soul Masters of the defense and direct-attack class stood at the front.

Two agility-attack class Soul Masters on the side.

And at the very back were also two Soul Masters to hold the fort.

According to traditional arrangements, they should be control class Battle Soul Masters and support class weapon Soul Masters, respectively.

In front of them, Shrek also had such an array, but due to the absence of Huo Yuhao, they couldn't set up the fan-shaped formation from the original work.

Furthermore, the youth of competitors like Wang Dong and Dai Huabin attracted even more attention.

"What's Shrek Academy trying to sell with such young contestants on stage?"

"Are you kidding me, how strong can these kids' cultivation levels be?"

"Hold on, don't rush to judgment. I think Shrek must have some hidden trump cards. Hey, what if each of these kids is a Soul King? Then you'll tell me if that's surprising or unexpected?"

Below the stands, the audience's opinions were split.

Some were not optimistic about Shrek.

Some felt that Shrek had an ace up its sleeve.

Either way,

Those who were in favor of Shrek's members made up eighty percent.

There was no helping it.

The reputation preceded them.

If a student from Shrek called a mouse a duck neck, Shrek's followers would nod without hesitation.

"Begin the match!"

Seeing both parties prepared, the referee raised his right hand and gave a loud shout as it fell.

Following the referee's loud shout, both sides' contestants released their Martial Souls almost simultaneously.

The seven from Sky Spirit Advanced Soul Master Academy truly couldn't be considered weak. The dazzling light radiated primarily from yellow and purple halos.

Among the seven, five had four Soul Rings, while only two were at the three-ring level.

The leader of the group, a young man, had four Soul Rings that were particularly brilliant, clearly indicating that his cultivation level had reached the late stages of a Soul Ancestor.

Reaching such a level at the age of twenty was already quite remarkable.

However, the crowd's gaze did not linger on the members of Sky Spirit Academy but fell immediately on Shrek.

Faced with a formidable opponent, they were more concerned with how Shrek would respond.

In fact, Beibei, Dai Huabin, Xiao Xiao, Wang Dong, and the others were also very nervous.

They were like ducks being pushed onto a shelf; there was no option but to fight.

As the referee's voice fell, team captain Beibei shouted, "Activate Martial Soul!"

Saying so, he was the first to summon his Martial Soul and Soul Rings.

Two yellow and one purple.

Soul Elder?

The audience in the stands were dumbfounded.

If everyone saw correctly, then this tall young man should be the captain, right?

If it were elsewhere, a Soul Elder would be considered quite good.

But...

What's currently underway is the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.

The captain sent by the top-ranked academy on the continent is only a Soul Elder?

Isn't this a joke?

Following that, Xu Sanshi and Dai Huabin next to Beibei also summoned their Martial Souls and activated their Soul Rings.

Two more powerful Soul Elders appeared before everyone's eyes.

To the left was Jiang Nannan, and to the right was He Caitou.

Both also revealed the cultivation of Soul Elders.

"Don't worry, guys. I think we should still have confidence in Shrek Academy. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse; Shrek Academy, even if it sends a team of Soul Elders, should not be underestimated."

"Brother has a point. As everyone knows, the quality of students from Shrek Academy is so much higher than other academies. Can Shrek's Soul Elders be regular Soul Elders? Outside, they could compare to Soul Ancestors."

"..."

No matter what, there were still many licking Shrek's boots.

In their hearts, Shrek is invincible, powerful, and beyond insulting or slander.

However,

Soon enough, these people couldn't maintain their proud expressions.

They more or less showed some embarrassment.

The rest of the audience was stirred up.

Many stood up, rubbing their eyes vigorously, then looking back at the stage once more.

"Am I seeing this wrong, or do those two little guys at the back of Shrek actually have just two Soul Rings?"

"If that's what you're saying, then you definitely didn't get it wrong. Because I see them with only two Soul Rings too!"

"Aw this... Is this not a joke? If all seven were Soul Elders, I could barely accept it. But now popping up two Grand Soul Masters is just outlandish. If they win this round, I'll write my name 'Wang' upside down!"

"What trickery is Shrek up to? Sending such a team is simply dismissive of the other academies."

"Hmph, I'd like to see how they'll win. Come on, while the match isn't over, let's get some bets going..."

"This is completely off the charts!"

The audience couldn't stand it any longer and began to voice their complaints.

The viewers weren't fools, and anyone with clear eyes could see the gap between Shrek Academy and Sky Spirit Academy.

The tumultuous voices from the audience also reached the ears of the Shrek members.

Their faces turned green and then white.

"Everyone pay attention, don't listen to rumors. Our goal is to take down this victory!"

After Beibei finished speaking, streaks of electricity crackled around him, and then with a loud cry, he charged!

He took the lead, bravely surging forward.

Xu Sanshi and Dai Huabin exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing a resolute look as they followed Beibei's steps and charged forward.

Next came Jiang Nannan and Wang Dong.

Only He Caitou and Xiao Xiao remained in place.

But the two were not idle watching the excitement; He Caitou's body was adorned with various soul tools, ready to provide a wave of firepower support for Beibei and the others.
