Eight consecutive victories. The Black and White Double Killers. The Seven Kill Squad.

The group immediately felt the pressure, especially Shui Yue'er and Xiao Luo, the youngest among them.

According to the rules of the Battle Soul Arena, when registering for a team battle, the team's level is determined by the highest-ranked Soul Master in the group.

This meant that even Soul Elders like Shui Yue'er and Xiao Luo had to face opponents of Soul Ancestor level, just like Feng Xiaotian and the others.

But Feng Xiaotian wasn't intimidated.

"Director Ao, who are these Black and White Double Killers? Is the Seven Kill Squad really that strong?"

Director Ao glanced at Feng Xiaotian and the others, then explained calmly:

"Hei Sha is the captain of the Seven Kill Squad, with a soul power of level 47. Bai Sha is the vice-captain, with a soul power of level 48.

Additionally, every member of the Seven Kill Squad has a soul power level above 45.

They've already achieved an eight-win streak at the Soul Ancestor level.

If they manage to reach ten consecutive victories, they'll advance directly to the Bronze Fighting Soul rank.

Meanwhile, in your Danfeng Team, Captain Feng, your highest soul power is only level 45. You also have a few members at level 41, and even two who haven't reached level 40.

With such a difference in strength, aren't you just throwing eggs at a rock?

So, conceding is the wise choice."

Hearing Director Ao's explanation, the group grew even more nervous.

Shui Yue'er murmured softly,

"I really am dragging the team down."

"I feel the same," Xiao Luo added, feeling a bit guilty.

Feng Xiaotian placed a reassuring hand on Xiao Luo and Shui Yue'er's shoulders and said:

"I'll say it again—if battles were solely determined by soul levels, then lower-ranked contestants wouldn't even bother stepping onto the stage. Do you remember how Bing'er and I defeated the Long Chen duo?"

Both members of the Long Chen duo were nearly at the Soul King level, yet they still lost to the Tianbing duo, who had lower soul levels.

Feng Xiaotian's reassurance eased the tension among the group.

Director Ao smiled faintly, though he seemed unconvinced.

"I watched that two-on-two match. I have to admit, your self-created soul skill is indeed powerful. However, the Long Chen duo didn't fully unleash their potential, or rather, they were careless."

"Actually, we didn't fully unleash our potential either," Feng Xiaotian replied.

Director Ao was momentarily taken aback by this statement. Though still somewhat concerned, he was also a bit surprised.

"Captain Feng, you are truly a stubborn and determined young man.

The Black and White Double Killers are not to be underestimated. They take pleasure in severely injuring their opponents. My attempt to dissuade you is merely out of sympathy for the weaker side, to avoid unnecessary casualties.

It's not just you; I would also dissuade their next opponents.

I want them to advance to the Bronze Fighting Soul rank sooner, where the teams will be stronger, and perhaps someone will be able to defeat them."

The phrase "out of sympathy for the weaker side" deeply struck a nerve with the Danfeng Team.

Huo Wu, feeling a bit angered, asked,

"Aren't we participating in a competition? Why should there be injuries and deaths?"

Director Ao sighed and explained,

"Soul Masters have different martial souls and soul skills. To maximize their power during battles, accidents are sometimes unavoidable. However, such incidents are rare, and our arena does protect those who actively concede."

Feng Xiaotian stepped forward again to clarify his stance.

"Director Ao, thank you for your concern, but the Danfeng Team will not concede. There have been instances where weaker teams won in your arena!"

Director Ao's eyes widened in surprise.

"How do you know? Do you know Tang San and the Shrek Seven Devils?"

Feng Xiaotian shook his head with a smile.

"I don't know them personally. I've heard that Tang San was a favorite at your Soto Great Soul Arena during that time."

Director Ao chuckled.

"That's correct. Tang San was truly a genius among geniuses. During that month, he maintained a perfect record in one-on-one, two-on-two, and team battles.

Tang San led the Shrek Seven Devils to achieve 28 consecutive victories in a month. Not only did he earn a Golden Fighting Soul badge, but he also helped his six teammates earn Silver Fighting Soul badges.

He also set the record for the fastest acquisition of a Golden Fighting Soul badge by a newcomer, a record that remains unmatched.

It will be hard to break Tang San's records in the future."

Director Ao's face showed admiration as he spoke of Tang San.

This event happened relatively recently, less than a year ago.

Huo Wushuang and the others were shocked by Director Ao's account.

They had heard Feng Xiaotian mention Tang San and Shrek Academy and knew they would be formidable opponents in the upcoming Soul Master Tournament, possibly even reaching the finals.

But they hadn't expected the records left by Tang San and Shrek Academy to be so impressive at the Soto Great Soul Arena.

Feng Xiaotian remained calm.

"Records are meant to be broken. The Danfeng Team is not lacking; perhaps we will set a new record here."

Seeing Feng Xiaotian's confidence, everyone felt encouraged.

"That's right! Don't underestimate the Danfeng Team. We haven't even shown our strongest soul skills yet!"

"Exactly! If the Shrek Seven Devils could win despite being weaker, why can't we do the same?"

Director Ao smiled slightly, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"Today is the 2nd. If you start participating in team battles every night from today and achieve consecutive victories, reaching a total of 29 wins will break their record of 28 consecutive victories. This is extremely difficult; can you really do it?"

"How will we know if we don't try?"

Feng Xiaotian's unyielding attitude surprised Director Ao.

"Captain Feng, your courage is commendable. Since you insist on challenging the Seven Kill Squad, I won't say more.

However, I must remind you that the last team Tang San faced, the Mad Warrior Team, was at the Soul Elder level.

The Seven Kill Squad you're facing is at the Soul Ancestor level.

The Seven Kill Squad is far beyond the Mad Warrior Team. The Black and White Double Killers are fearsome and merciless, often causing severe injuries to their opponents.

If you still wish to challenge them, I can only wish you good luck!"
