"Next, the much - anticipated first match of the first round of the preliminaries is about to unfold. Heaven Dou Royal Academy will face Shrek Academy. All participating academies, please exit the venue in an orderly manner. The academies preparing to compete, please get ready for the match. The battle will officially commence in half an hour."
Time passed quickly. The staff, with an indifferent expression, urged them to go on stage.
The organizers clearly didn't have high hopes for them. Even the staff member leading them seemed rather solitary.
As soon as they reached the exit, the ears of the Shrek Academy members were filled with the emcee's excited announcements.
The members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy entered the arena one by one. Their team uniforms were a pale gold color, like autumn leaves. The words "Heaven Dou" were embroidered on the left chest, and there was a pattern of seven silver stars on the back.
Huang Yuan's eyes were ablaze with anger, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white. He growled through gritted teeth:
"Damn it! They clearly treat us as the green leaves to set off those so - called red flowers!"
Jing Ling stood aside, his voice low and full of sarcasm:
"Green leaves? I think we're not even as good as green leaves. We're simply being treated like cow dung. Don't flowers look even more dazzling when inserted in cow dung?"
"I think, for you guys, one minute should be enough to deal with them." Chen Feng said lightly.
Dai Mubai clapped his hands in the air. "That's right. For us, one minute is enough to end the battle."
Chen Feng stood at the front of the team. With a total of twelve members of Shrek Academy, they formed a line in the center of the arena, facing the members of the second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
"What a bunch of unsightly toads. How dare such trash set foot on the stage of the Soul Master Competition?" The captain of the second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, a petite boy with a feminine voice, a flash of disdain in his eyes.
"Dead sissy, what are you barking about?" Ma Hongjun's eyes blazed with anger when he heard this, and he snorted coldly.
"Fatty, who are you calling a dead sissy!" The male student called a sissy's face turned livid in an instant.
"Whoever is neither male nor female is a dead sissy." Chen Feng then took his time to chime in.
The captain of the second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, that petite figure, a flash of killing intent in his eyes, his voice cold as ice:
"Fine, I've noted every word and action of yours. Although the competition rules prohibit killing, injuries are always inevitable. Since you're courting death, don't blame us for being ruthless."
As his words fell, the atmosphere in the entire arena suddenly tensed up.
Prince Xue Xing, sitting in the second row of the VIP seats, proudly showed off to the surrounding audience:
"Everyone, take a look! The students of our Heaven Dou Royal Academy are all outstanding. This is just our second team, and the aspiration of our main team is nothing less than the championship."
Just then, a calm voice suddenly rang out, shattering Prince Xue Xing's complacency.
"I don't think so!"
Prince Xue Xing's brows furrowed, a flash of displeasure in his eyes. He quickly turned his head, glaring straight at the source of the sound.
The speaker was Meng Shenji, the leader of the three educational committee members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, a Soul Douluo.
"Educational Committee Member Meng Shenji, what do you mean?" Prince Xue Xing's tone was cold. "You're directly in charge of the academy. Are you trying to boost the morale of the enemy and undermine our own?"
Meng Shenji didn't respond immediately. His gaze passed through the crowd and landed on the Shrek Academy team in the distance.
When he saw that Shrek Academy didn't send out their strongest Seven Devils, a sense of sadness welled up in his heart.
He knew that the prestigious Heaven Dou Royal Academy couldn't even make the opponent go all out. This was not only the opponent's contempt but also a sign of the academy's own weakness.
However, the development of the match was beyond everyone's expectations.
In just a moment, the defense line of the second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy was torn apart as easily as paper by the members of Shrek Academy.
Seeing this, the team - leading teacher's face changed drastically. He quickly threw out the white towel symbolizing surrender and rushed onto the arena, trying to stop this battle that was about to turn into a one - sided massacre.
At this moment, in the entire Great Spirit Arena, 80,000 spectators fell silent. Their eyes were fixed on the shit - green team uniforms. The color that they had mocked before now seemed extremely dazzling, like a victorious flag fluttering in the wind.
This match without any suspense finally ended with a complete victory for Shrek Academy.
The referee's voice echoed in the silent air, announcing this one - minute victory:
"For the first match of the first round of the preliminaries, the winner is Shrek Academy."
A roar, like thunder, exploded in the spectator stands. The crowd was immediately swept up in a frenzy.
Doubts, admiration, and shock intertwined, forming an irresistible torrent.
The rout of the second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy was like a sudden storm, throwing everyone's minds into chaos.
That little - known Shrek Academy, with astonishing speed and power, completely reversed the situation within one minute, bringing an unprecedented shock to everyone.
What was even more daunting was that Shrek Academy seemed to be hiding even deeper aces up its sleeve.
Chen Feng, who had made the arrogant gesture of "I'm not targeting anyone. Everyone here is trash," had not shown up yet.
Just how powerful was his strength?
Emperor Xue Ye's face was ashen, his eyes glinting with cold light.
He stood up, his gaze stabbing at the 失神 (dazed) Prince Xue Xing like a knife. With a cold snort, he flicked his sleeves and left, leaving behind an aura of coldness and majesty.
Ning Fengzhi, on the other hand, wore a smile on his face and followed Emperor Xue Ye lightly, walking out of the VIP seats.
As for the Platinum Bishop Salas, he sat quietly in his original position, his eyes shining with profound light, as if he was silently pondering something.
The sunlight slanted onto the bluestone slabs of the academy. The Grandmaster stood in the courtyard. Seeing Chen Feng and Tang San return, he slightly nodded and beckoned them to come closer.
"Chen Feng, Xiaosan, you're back."
Chen Feng was puzzled. He didn't expect the Grandmaster to summon both him and Tang San at the same time.
He walked forward slowly, his eyes filled with inquiry. "Teacher, did you look for me?"
The Grandmaster gently shook his head and turned his gaze to Ning Rongrong aside.
"I'm going to train Rongrong alone. You two come along as well. What I'm going to talk about will also benefit you. Moreover, training her requires your cooperation."
A flash of surprise crossed Chen Feng's eyes. He turned to look at Ning Rongrong.
At this time, the other students of the academy were scattered around the wooden house. Some were closing their eyes to practice, and some were whispering. Only Ning Rongrong stood quietly beside the Grandmaster.
"Follow me." The Grandmaster's tone was firm. He took the lead and walked towards the depths of the forest. Chen Feng and Tang San followed closely behind, and even Liu Erlong didn't follow.
