Meng Hongchen blinked her bright eyes and smiled, "I haven't had much contact with him yet, I only know his name, but I do feel that his ice attribute martial soul is of very high quality."
Ma Rulong continued, "As for that mysterious youth, I don't think we need to worry too much. Whether it was their performance today or before, they fought in a way that protected them as much as possible. If I'm not mistaken, that youth created an illusion using his spiritual martial spirit, with the purpose of covering up some problems within it."
"So, this is our chance. I'm convinced that something's wrong with Shrek's starting lineup." Ma Rulong said excitedly at the end.
Old Ma nodded in agreement, saying, "Very good. Just as the analysis suggests, our opportunity has come. Apart from Ye Nanxiao and that mysterious boy with the mental attribute, the rest of those kids are nothing to worry about."
Ma Rulong sighed softly, "I still want to face the truly powerful Shrek Academy. Although our chances are slim, I still want to give it my all."
Xiao Hongchen's eyes revealed pride as he said calmly, "Currently, there is only Ye Nanxiao. You can give it a try. Moreover, Shrek Academy has been complacent and stuck in its ways, while our soul tools have been constantly developing. Even if this year's seniors can't win, I will definitely defeat them next year."
Old Ma tapped the table. "Tomorrow Shrek Academy will face Zheng Tian Academy. If nothing unexpected happens, Ye Nanxiao will play. At that time, our guess will be confirmed."
A cold glint flashed in Xiao Hongchen's eyes as he asked in a deep voice, "Old Ma, do you know the name of that mysterious young man?"
Old Ma nodded and said, "We've already checked. His name is Huo Yuhao, but we only know his name. He doesn't exist in our records of Shrek Academy."
Xiao Hongchen nodded, sneered, and said, "Given Shrek Academy's current situation, it's hard to say whether they can even make it to the finals. If they keep sending their reserve team, Captain! I'm afraid we won't even have a chance to defeat this flawed Shrek."
Ma Rulong's face darkened, and he shouted in a deep voice, "Xiao Hongchen, shut your stinking mouth! At least for now, I am still the captain of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team. You can insult yourself, but you have no right to insult your opponent until you truly defeat the strongest Shrek Academy team."
As they spoke, a powerful aura suddenly surged out from Ma Rulong. Under the pressure of this aura, Xiao Hongchen staggered slightly. His sister, who was beside him, immediately stood up and unleashed a sharp and fierce aura, ready to confront Ma Rulong head-on.
Meng Hongchen stared coldly at Ma Rulong, a chilling aura emanating from her, her eyes gradually turning red.
Xiao Hongchen reached out and stopped Meng Hongchen, a slight smile on his face, showing no displeasure whatsoever. He said, "Yes, I was wrong, but I will prove it with my strength. I will crush Shrek Academy, which you and the seniors want to defeat, under my feet!"
On his way back to his room, Ye Nanxiao ran into Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen. After not seeing them for many days, Ma Xiaotao was still the beautiful woman in red that Ye Nanxiao remembered. Ling Luochen also greeted Ye Nanxiao with a smile.
"Little Xiao, it's been a few days. Have you missed your sister?" Ma Xiaotao said with a smile, reaching out to touch Ye Nanxiao's fox ears, and couldn't help but exclaim, "They feel so good."
Ye Nanxiao broke free from Ma Xiaotao's clutches and said, "Are you fully recovered? If you are, hurry up and get on stage."
"I just went to see Teacher Wang and also to ask about your achievements these past few days." Ma Xiaotao wanted to pinch Ye Nanxiao's fox ears again.
Ye Nanxiao quickly slipped away.
Ma Xiaotao stood there, stunned, watching Ye Nanxiao's retreating figure.
"What are you looking at? They've gone far away," Ling Luochen said.
Ma Xiaotao laughed and said, "It's nothing."
"It's a pity we met too late," Ling Luochen said, expressing Ma Xiaotao's true feelings.
"Perhaps." Ma Xiaotao's answer surprised Ling Luochen.
Shrek Academy, Sea God Pavilion.
"Elder Mu, is it really unnecessary to send anyone else? They will be facing three Soul Kings tomorrow," Cai Meier said respectfully, standing in front of Elder Mu.
"Did Shao Zhe send you to ask this?" Elder Mu said.
"Yes," Cai Meier replied honestly.
Old Mu laughed and said, "I knew it was his idea. He's unwilling to accept it, but one win or loss doesn't mean anything. News from the front has come back that none of the people Xuanzi chose are cowards. Tell Shao Zhe to think long-term. This competition is a test for them. Besides, that child is here. Even if they lose, they won't lose too badly."
Cai Meier didn't expect that Elder Mu had such high hopes for this reserve team.
"They fight for glory, and we must build their confidence. It takes ten years to hone a skill, and we must spend at least ten years making these seven children the future of Shrek Academy. Decades later, they will be the ones sitting in the Sea God Pavilion. No matter what ranking these children ultimately achieve, after they return from the Star Luo Empire, you, Shao Zhe, Lin'er, and Duo Duo will personally celebrate their victory."
Seeing that Elder Mu had made up his mind, Cai Meier had no choice but to leave.
Early in the morning, the eight members of the Shrek reserve team had already gathered in the conference room. After resting yesterday, they were all in high spirits and their energy was at its best.
Apart from Ye Nanxiao, everyone else looked rather solemn. Today's match would undoubtedly be the most difficult one for them since they came to participate in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, as they would be facing a powerful team led by three Soul Kings.
Currently, they only have one Soul King. The remaining four Soul Masters are Jiang Nannan (level 47), Bei Bei (level 47), Xu Sanshi (level 48), and He Caitou (level 45).
Wang Yan looked at them with a serious expression and said, "Kids, this competition is crucial for you. No matter the outcome, I am proud of you, so don't feel pressured. Just treat it as a relaxing trip and fight with your own style!"
However, Wang Yan saw that everyone, including Ye Nanxiao, had a burning fighting spirit in their eyes.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Yan stood up and said in a deep voice, "Let's go, kids, it's time for us to relax."
Infected by the emotions of the crowd, Ye Nanxiao also became serious.
Stepping into the plaza and through the passage, accompanied by loud shouts of "Shrek!", the eight people, led by Ye Nanxiao, stood in Shrek Academy's waiting area, quietly watching the academy arrive from the opposite side.
Ye Nanxiao originally wanted to sit down and relax for a while, but the intense flames burning in Jiang Nannan's eyes ignited Ye Nanxiao's will to survive.
Looking at the Shrek Academy group, whose numbers remained unchanged, Ma Rulong became even more determined in his mind and focused his attention on Ye Nanxiao and Huo Yuhao.
Xiao Hongchen was the same; she looked at Ye Nanxiao with a smile, anticipating his full potential.
Wang Yan's expression was clearly rather unpleasant; it would be impossible for him not to be nervous.
Although Wang Yan trusted Ye Nanxiao, he was used to preparing for the worst when he couldn't be 70% sure about something. It wasn't that he couldn't let Ma Xiaotao participate, but Ma Xiaotao insisted that they should fight this battle themselves.
Wang Yan also understood that this was a test, and without Ye Nanxiao, the probability of losing was more than 50%.
Emperor Xingluo looked at Shrek Academy's team with a strange expression. He remembered that Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao were all only at the fourth level of cultivation. How could such a lineup have won all the way?
"Both team captains, please come up to the stage to draw lots," the referee announced.
This time, Ye Nanxiao did not let Beibei do it for him.
A person of similar build to Beibei walked up and made eye contact with Ye Nanxiao.
Ye Wuqing, nineteen years old, is a top student at Zhengtian Academy and the team captain. His martial soul is the Golden Leaf. He is a level 58 power attack type battle soul master with extremely strong strength. In the previous competition, he had already represented Zhengtian Academy as a regular member.
Unlike Bei Bei's refined demeanor, he appeared much colder, though a cold glint would flash in his eyes when he looked at Ye Nanxiao.
"Interesting." Ye Nanxiao looked at Ye Wuqing with a nonchalant expression.
Ye Nanxiao's actions enraged Ye Wuqing, who coldly said, "Are you ready to accept defeat, you arrogant fool?"
"Sorry, I don't plan to," Ye Nanxiao said with a light laugh.
"You are very good." Ye Wuqing said this and returned to the waiting area of Zhengtian Academy.
The referee announced loudly, "Shrek Academy versus Zheng Tian Academy, the two-two-three battle formation has been drawn. This means that the first two matches will be two-on-two, and the last match will be three-on-three, best of three. If either side wins both of the first two matches, the third three-on-three match will be canceled. Both captains may step down and prepare."
When Wang Yan saw that he had drawn the second, second, and third tactics, his mind went completely blank.
Looking at Ye Nanxiao, all I saw was a calm expression in his eyes.
Ye Nanxiao looked at Shrek's reserve team and calmly said, "Ignite your fighting spirit and defend Shrek's glory."
A calm remark ignited a fire in everyone's hearts.
"Beibei, Sanshi, you two are up for the second round."
Beibei and Xu Sanshi were taken aback, and immediately realized that Ye Nanxiao was going to take the lead.
Ye Nanxiao looked at Jiang Nannan with tenderness in his eyes and reached out his hand. "Nannan, let's go."
"Okay!" Jiang Nannan smiled sweetly, grasped Ye Nanxiao's hand, and stood on the competition stage with Ye Nanxiao.
Ye Nanxiao stood naturally in front of Jiang Nannan, his aura changing instantly, shedding his languidness and revealing only his sharpness.
Watching Ye Nanxiao's retreating figure, Jiang Nannan suddenly remembered a sentence Ye Nanxiao had once said: "If there is any danger, I will definitely die before you."
A thousand tender feelings stirred within him, yet his gaze remained resolute.
The opposing team also consisted of a man and a woman, whose figures were somewhat similar to Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan. The female team member was also very beautiful, but unfortunately, she encountered Jiang Nannan, who was known as the most beautiful girl in the outer academy of Shrek Academy. Under Jiang Nannan's stunning beauty, she appeared somewhat dim and lackluster. Even the male students next to her couldn't help but first look at Jiang Nannan.
Ye Wuqing sat in the chair with his arms crossed, his eyes fixed on Ye Nanxiao.
