As for Ning Rongrong's request, Zhu Zhuqing naturally had no objections. She also felt that her combination with Ning Rongrong was more suitable.
Otherwise, wouldn't she have to team up with Ma Hongjun or Oscar?
She absolutely didn't want to!
Ma Hongjun looked at the three girls in the team who had already found their partners, and his heart was filled with regret. But when he thought that his 'lifeblood' was gone, his mood became even more dejected.
Flender patted Ma Hongjun's back comfortingly and said, "Fatty, you don't need to be too sad. Although that part of you is gone, you've also become stronger!"
Ma Hongjun felt like crying but had no tears.
He naturally knew what Flender meant. His 'second brother' was gone, which meant he no longer had to suffer from the evil fire's harm.
After all, if that part wasn't there, the evil fire couldn't rise even if it wanted to.
Wuwuwu~~
In fact, that night, he even leveled up because of it, and was now Spirit Elder level twenty-eight.
Tang San looked at Xiao Wu and Xiao Tian, who were about to team up, frowned, and said with some reluctance, "Xiao Wu, I think it's better if you team up with me. You know, Xiao Tian is facing Spirit Ancestor-level powerhouses, and you are currently only level thirty-four. If he teams up with Boss Dai, the probability of winning will be greater. Our levels are similar, which is more suitable!"
Tang San's words were flawless, making others truly believe he was genuinely thinking for the entire team. In reality, it was just to satisfy his own selfish desires.
Yu Xiaogang, knowing Tang San's peculiar feelings for Xiao Wu, also looked at Xiao Tian and said, "Xiao Tian, Little San is right. You'll most likely be facing two-on-two battles against high-level Spirit Ancestors. It's best if you team up with Mubai, or have Rongrong assist you."
As Yu Xiaogang spoke, he also wanted to drag Ning Rongrong into it. He knew that Ning Rongrong definitely intended to team up with Xiao Tian!
Who would have thought that Ning Rongrong would say, "Grandmaster, Xiao Tian's strength is so great that even facing two high-level Spirit Ancestors by himself isn't a problem. You wouldn't be trying to set him and Xiao Wu up just because Tang San is your disciple, would you?!
Just now you said free teaming, but now..."
During her time with Xiao Tian, Ning Rongrong had long learned to see through the essence of certain phenomena.
The difference in her and Xiao Tian's levels was so vast that even as a support, she probably wouldn't last two or three minutes before her spirit power was exhausted. And as a theoretical Grandmaster, he should know this best.
Thinking this way, Yu Xiaogang was just trying to drag her into it, and incidentally, to cover up his true intentions.
Now that her grandfather was present, she didn't need to hold back. She had been annoyed with Yu Xiaogang for a long time!
Yu Xiaogang felt a lump in his throat. He looked at Chen Xin, who was frowning nearby, and forced a smile: "How could that be, Rongrong? I'm just thinking for your sakes and offering a suggestion. The final decision is still up to you."
"Hmph! Grandmaster, I'm teaming up with my brother, and no one else can change that. And honestly, Dai Mubai might not even be as strong as me!"
Xiao Wu was also getting a bit angry, and her tone became arrogant.
No, although she hadn't officially competed with Dai Mubai, she had this confidence!
"What? Are we two going to fight first?"
Xiao Wu's words were practically trampling his dignity as a man!
"Heh, in that case, do you dare to sign up for a one-on-one later? We can't just register our names and leave after coming all the way to this Spirit Arena today, can we?"
Xiao Wu suggested.
Flender said from the side, "Hey hey hey, isn't it just forming a team? What are you doing! However... this is also good. Later, you can sign up and experience the atmosphere of the Spirit Arena."
Soon, Xiao Tian's eight people also formed their respective teams.
Xiao Tian and Xiao Wu.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.
Tang San and Ma Hongjun.
Dai Mubai and Oscar.
After confirming, the eight submitted their applications. At the same time, except for Ning Rongrong and Oscar, everyone else also signed up for one-on-one, two-on-two, and team battles!
"Xiaogang, can they sustain their spirit power by participating in so many types of battles at once?"
Flender said with some uncertainty.
Yu Xiaogang shook his head, indicating there was no problem at all. It's just... there was one thing he was very worried about.
It was not difficult to see that the eight Shrek members were divided into two camps: those led by Tang San, including Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar.
And those led by Xiao Tian, including Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing.
The gunpowder smell just now was truly thick.
He only hoped that through today's team battles, the few of them could better cooperate with each other.
Soon after they signed up, the Host's shout came from the arena: "Tonight's first match, Soft Bones Demon Rabbit versus Evil Eyes White Tiger!"
They didn't use their real names, but rather aliases.
Originally, Yu Xiaogang wanted them to buy masks to wear, but Xiao Tian directly refused.
Wearing masks might be useful for others, but generally not for them. Their Spirits were all quite distinctive: Dai Mubai's Evil Eyes White Tiger, Zhu Zhuqing's Hell Civet, Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda—these were not things that could be hidden by wearing a mask.
As for Oscar and Ma Hongjun's Spirits, they had lived in Shrek and Soto City for so many years; anyone with a bit of interest would eventually know they were from Shrek Academy!
The most important point was their team name was directly the Shrek Team, as if they were afraid others wouldn't know they came from Shrek Academy outside the city!
After Xiao Tian's persuasion, naturally no one was willing to wear masks.
Hearing the Host's shout from the arena, Xiao Tian and the others all looked at Xiao Wu and Dai Mubai in unison. What a coincidence?
"Xiao Wu, you, go for it!"
Xiao Tian whispered to Xiao Wu.
Originally, he wanted Xiao Wu to be as merciful as possible, but then he remembered that Xiao Wu and Dai Mubai had a four-level spirit power gap no matter what. If she wasn't careful, there was a risk of being counterattacked by Dai Mubai.
It was better to go all out. If something really happened, they could deal with it then!
Hehe.
Xiao Wu nodded and walked towards the arena with Dai Mubai from opposite sides.
The Host looked at these two young people and said with some surprise, "I didn't expect tonight's first match to be between two young people. Their talent and strength are not weak!"
"Without further ado, let's introduce their basic information to the audience now."
"Soft Bones Demon Rabbit, Spirit as above, spirit power level thirty-four, attack system Spirit Elder."
"Evil Eyes White Tiger, Spirit as above, spirit power level thirty-eight, attack system Spirit Elder."
"Oh, where did this delicate little girl come from? You should hurry and get off the stage. The opponent's Spirit is a tiger, and he's stronger than you. Don't get eaten later!"
A wave of mockery towards Xiao Wu immediately came from the stands.
