Chapter 119 The Finals Begin
As soon as Emperor Xingluo finished speaking, a beam of light flashed across the city wall and appeared in the center of the arena. It was none other than the referee of the final, Tian Sha Douluo.
The Heavenly Fiend Douluo made a dashing entrance, his gaze sweeping around the room, when suddenly his body jolted violently.
Suddenly, a disheveled old man carrying a gourd of wine appeared behind the Shrek team.
Why is this guy here too? I didn't see him when I entered.
Looks like I'll have to be careful during the match later. If I accidentally bump into or hurt those Shrek guys, I won't be able to handle the old man's rage.
Especially that guy who only knows how to hide; he doesn't even know if the other party has been attacked. I hope he doesn't get wiped out by the aftershocks without making a sound.
If this old guy comes looking for trouble because of this, he'll be in deep trouble.
"Elder Xuan, you've arrived." In the rest area, Wang Yan was the first to spot Elder Xuan and greeted him with great surprise.
Elder Xuan pulled out a chicken leg, took a bite, and mumbled, "You give orders, just pretend I don't exist. Anyway, with me here, no one will dare to play any tricks."
On the other side, the leader of the Sun and Moon team had a series of changes in expression.
He had read the information about this person who had mistreated the old man countless times.
According to the investigation by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, this Gluttonous Douluo's cultivation level has reached at least level 97, making him the strongest person in Shrek Academy.
Unexpectedly, Shrek Academy attached great importance to this match, with this person personally overseeing the event.
The referee on the platform, Tian Sha Douluo, quickly recovered from his shock, cleared his throat, and said in a deep voice:
"I, Huang Jinxu, will be the referee for the final of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament. Now, I will announce the rules of the final competition."
"The final consists of three matches: a team competition, an individual elimination round, and a 2-2-3 formation, best of three... After the team battle, both sides have one and only one chance to substitute their players..."
"...I hope both sides will exercise restraint during the match. Now, both sides, get ready. In one minute, the players participating in the team fight will enter the arena."
Wang Yan stood up, faced the twelve students of Shrek Academy, and said in a deep voice, "Everything will proceed as planned. Shrek will prevail."
"Shrek will win!" Everyone stood up at the same time and shouted in unison with an unusually firm tone.
Even Huo Yuhao lost some of his laziness due to the tense atmosphere of the finals, and his tone became much more determined.
A minute passed quickly.
"Team members from both sides, enter the arena." Tian Sha Douluo announced, meticulously calculating the timing.
The seven people from the Moon Royal Soul Master Academy immediately came out.
Leading the way was Ma Rulong, the captain of the main team, followed by Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen. The four people following behind were also level-five soul masters from the main team.
Just as Wang Yan predicted, the four individuals are Mika, Xiao Xiafeng, Chen Fei, and Lin Xi.
The same was true for Shrek Academy; while everyone else entered the waiting area, seven people stepped onto the competition stage.
The seven Shrek Academy members who participated in the team battle were Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Gongyang Mo, Ling Luochen, Xixi, Xu Sanshi, and Huo Yuhao, the designated plugin for the team battle.
It's clear that Shrek's lineup has completely abandoned defense, focusing solely on offense.
As for Xu Sanshi, this defensive-type battle spirit master?
You really expect him, a fourth-ringed being, to take on those soul-guided cannons?
Upon seeing the Shrek Academy team members, Xiao Hongchen and Xu Jiawei's pupils contracted.
This Huo Yuhao, at this point, is able to participate in the finals with a second-ring cultivation level, instead of the three fourth-ring Soul Masters, Bei Bei, He Caitou, and Jiang Nannan, who appeared before.
"Seriously? How come the Second Ring Academy is still able to participate in the finals?"
Unnamed audience member #1, who had been suspicious of Huo Yuhao's existence since the beginning of the match, looked surprised.
What is Shrek up to? Why are they still being so reckless at a time like this?
"Seriously, bro? After all these competitions, you still think this guy who's only at the second ring cultivation level and was sent by Shrek Academy to participate in the Soul Master Competition is a simple character?"
Next to No. 1, the unnamed audience member No. 2 was somewhat surprised to find that the person next to him looked familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that they had sat together at the very beginning of the Soul Master Competition.
After so many days, these two spectators from the first match of the Soul Master Competition finally sat together again. Is this fate?
"Then tell me, did this guy play any role in the game? In the first game, although he didn't do anything, at least he was on the court the whole time, so at least his attitude was there. In the later games, he disappeared as soon as the game started, and you couldn't even see him until the game was over. And you still defend him?"
Number 2 wanted to speak up for Shrek Academy, but unfortunately, Huo Yuhao was too weak-willed. How could he defend someone who had remained invisible the entire time?
"Hmph, what do you know? Shrek must have his reasons for doing this, just you wait and see!"
Just as they were talking, the Shrek Academy team and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team appeared on the left and right sides of the Heavenly Fiend Douluo.
"Both sides step back and prepare to begin. The match ends when one side has no one left to fight."
Even as she retreated, Ma Xiaotao kept her eyes fixed intently on the opposing captain, Ma Rulong, as if flames were truly rising in her eyes.
Having played so many matches, she has yet to encounter even one truly evenly matched opponent.
Because of the presence of the evil fire, Ma Xiaotao had to restrain herself when fighting, and devote her energy to suppressing the evil fire. Even so, she could easily suppress other Soul Emperors.
As for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, which has been ranked second for a long time, the Soul Emperor in its team should be able to enjoy himself to the fullest.
Gradually, the two teams approached the edge of the competition stage. On Shrek Academy's side, Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng were still standing in front of the words, with Ling Luochen standing behind them. The assassin Xixi had also quietly appeared behind Dai Yueheng at some point.
Next came Huo Yuhao, Gongyang Mo, and Xu Sanshi.
Meanwhile, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was led by Ma Rulong, with the others forming a triangle with Ma Rulong at the apex and spreading outwards.
As a Soul Master, having teammates blocking the cannon's muzzle in front of you is a major taboo.
Both sides were highly focused. Just as they reached the edge of their respective playing platforms, a loud shout rang out:
"The match begins."
The moment the Heavenly Fiend Douluo finished speaking, both sides moved simultaneously.
As they released their soul tools, the Sun and Moon team quickly adjusted their positions and lined up in a row.
The person standing at the front was changed from Ma Rulong to Lin Xi, who was holding a defensive soul tool.
Shrek Academy launched an immediate attack, with Ma Xiaotao leading the charge and Dai Yueheng close behind.
