Tang San's Blue Silver Grass provides immunity to water and fire elements, but it cannot shield against wind, which is a concern for Yu Xiaogang.

"Wind is intangible and indeed harder to counter than water and fire elements. It is difficult to guard against and can be quite elusive.

Today, I observed their combat techniques closely. They can transform the intangible wind into tangible forms like wind blades, wind shields, wind fists, wind legs, and wind storms, all of which have significant power.

Additionally, everyone on their team possesses the ability to fly."

The group was once again astonished.

Dai Mubai asked, "Master, what do you suggest we do in response?"

Yu Xiaogang thought for a moment before replying, "The Five Elemental Academies emphasize extreme techniques, with students all being of the same attribute.

While their strengths are considerable, their weaknesses also become quite apparent.

By observing a few more matches and familiarizing ourselves with their spirit skills and combat techniques, we will find ways to counter them."

Hearing Yu Xiaogang's explanation, everyone's mood improved significantly.

Xiao Wu encouraged, "Master is right. No matter what elemental academy they are from, the academy that will make it to the end will definitely be Shrek Academy!"

Ma Hongjun clenched his fists and exclaimed, "That's right! Shrek will win!"

The others nodded in agreement, their confidence bolstered.

Yu Xiaogang smiled and said, "It's great that you have confidence. I believe in all of you. However, we need to learn more about our opponents. So, starting tomorrow, you should focus on the matches and watch as many as you can."

"Understood," they replied.

"Good. Make sure to rest well tonight and be in the best condition for tomorrow's matches."

"Got it!"

All the Soul Master Academies have completed the first round of the preliminaries.

The second round of the preliminaries is about to begin.

The first match of the first round left a deep impression with Shrek Academy's ruthless performance.

The most shocking aspect was Tang San's ten-thousand-year spirit ring.

Feng Xiaotian, Shui Bing'er, and Huo Wushuang arrived at the resting area for competing teams. They were in their respective teams but close to each other.

After the draw, the 28 teams were divided into three groups.

Godwind Academy was in the second group, while Tianshui Academy and Blazing Academy were in the third group.

Today, Godwind Academy's opponent was stronger, featuring a Spirit Master at the Spirit Master level.

To ensure their team's victory, Feng Xiaotian would personally take the field.

Whether he would actually make a move depended on the situation during the match.

Shrek Academy was in the first group.

As the time ticked by, Feng Xiaotian and his team took advantage of their waiting period to closely observe Shrek Academy's match.

Feng Xiaotian was aware that Shrek Academy's opponent for the day would be Xiangjia Academy.

Xiangjia Academy is one of the Five Elemental Academies, with significant backing from the Xiangjia Sect, which holds the prestigious position of being ranked sixth among the Seven Great Sects. The Xiangjia Sect is renowned throughout the continent for its unmatched defensive prowess, making it a formidable entity in the realm of defense.

The team representing Xiangjia Academy is notably formidable, consisting of three Spirit Masters and four Spirit Elders. Despite their impressive composition, even such a well-rounded team would eventually fall short against Shrek Academy's capabilities.

While Xiangjia Academy excels in defensive strategies, their considerable size and bulk present a disadvantage in terms of speed. This size discrepancy makes it easier for their opponents to exploit their slower movements and wear them down over the course of the match.

The match officially commenced.

The ten teams in the first group entered the arena, which had been thoughtfully arranged to feature five distinct platforms.

These five platforms allowed for the simultaneous conduct of five separate matches involving the ten teams.

However, among these platforms, one was centrally located and designated as the central platform.

Teams receiving heightened attention were granted the prestigious opportunity to compete on the central platform.

The highly anticipated match between Shrek Academy and Xiangjia Academy was scheduled to take place on this central platform.

In the front row of the VIP section today, in addition to the esteemed Emperor Xueye, Ning Fengzhi, and the Platinum Bishop Salas, two additional notable figures had arrived.

One of these was Bone Douluo Gu Rong, one of the two Title Douluo from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

The other was Huyan Zhen, the sect master of the Xiangjia Sect.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect enjoys a close and favorable relationship with the Tiandou Royal Family, while the Xiangjia Sect has established a strong connection with the Spirit Hall, reflecting their intertwined interests.

What is beyond reach must be eradicated.

The draw that placed Shrek Academy against Xiangjia Academy was orchestrated by the Platinum Bishop Salas, who aimed to undermine Shrek Academy's rising momentum.

As the teams took to the stage, the contrast was striking.

The seven members of Xiangjia Academy were all notably large and heavy-set, exuding an imposing presence.

In stark contrast, the seven members of Shrek Academy appeared small and agile, like children standing in front of their much larger opponents.

Feng Xiaotian observed the unfolding scene with a calm and composed demeanor.

Huo Wushuang leaned in closer to Feng Xiaotian and remarked, "Xiangjia Academy hails from the strongest defensive sect, the Xiangjia Sect. Their defensive capabilities are formidable, and their momentum is not something ordinary teams can easily match."

Shui Bing'er inquired, "Tian Ge, given that Xiangjia Academy appears significantly stronger than the Tiandou Royal Academy's second team, do you think Shrek Academy still has a chance to win?"

All eyes were on Feng Xiaotian, eagerly awaiting his insight.

Feng Xiaotian maintained his gaze ahead with a subtle smile.

"In this match, Shrek Academy will approach it with utmost seriousness, deploying five of their main players. Although the battle may present some difficulties, victory will ultimately belong to them."

"Is it possible that even Xiangjia Academy will not be able to handle them?"

"Indeed, Xiangjia Academy's defense is exceptionally robust. However, in a battle where tactical skills are crucial, their slower speed will be significantly magnified as a disadvantage. In soul battles, offense often outweighs defense. If it were your Tianshui Academy or Chihuo Academy facing them, victory might also be within reach."

As Feng Xiaotian finished speaking, the match within the arena was underway.
