Soto City, the Grand Soul Arena!
The central Soul Arena.
Accompanied by cheers from the audience, the match on the stage entered its most intense moment.
"Mad Rhino has fallen." "
Royal Fighting Team wins!"
This team, which had only arrived in Soto City three days ago, had already achieved three consecutive victories in the Grand Soul Arena. The
Royal Fighting Team has finally arrived. If Ma Hongjun were here, he would be extremely excited. The Nine-Heart Begonia Soul Master, whom he had waited for for six years, had finally arrived.
"I never expected Soto City to produce a team like this. The 'Frenzy' soul skill is really tough to deal with. If it weren't for Lingling's healing, we would have almost fallen to them."
"Yes, so we mustn't be inferior to others."
"Right now, there are no Silver Soul Master level teams here, and this Berserker team is already the strongest among the Bronze Soul Master teams. I think we have no rivals here."
"Teacher, are we leaving?"
"I want to challenge this team, but I don't know if you have the confidence."
Qin Ming, the leader of the Royal Fighting Team, smiled and pointed to the Shrek Team, whose name was on the challenge list.
Seeing the team's name, a proud smile appeared on Qin Ming's face as he reminisced.
He himself came from Shrek Academy, and seeing that Shrek's student body was large enough to form a team, he felt very happy and proud.
He brought the Royal Fighting Team to Soto City this time, actually wanting to return to his alma mater.
However, he was very surprised that Shrek had Soul Master level students. Back in the academy, the students weren't very old at all.
"A Soul Master level, Silver Soul Fighting Team. This challenge is too high."
"Only two Soul Masters."
"Only three have higher Soul Power than us, and two of them are Great Soul Masters."
"They only have one Silver Soul Fighting Team, while we all have Silver Soul Fighting Teams."
"No problem, I think we can fight."
...
Qin Ming was also very curious. He had been to Shrek Academy and knew that Shrek only recruited monsters.
But he knew Shrek's conditions. To be able to cultivate a Soul Master level Silver Soul Fighting Team seemed stronger than his own team.
Soon, Qin Ming found Manager Ao and applied to challenge the Shrek team.
The next day.
Shrek team's rest room.
Grandmaster walked in and placed a piece of cloth on the table.
"Come and take a look. This is the team that will challenge you tonight."
Ma Hongjun and the others gathered around.
"A Soul Venerable level Silver Soul Fighting Team."
Dai Mubai glanced at it and said indifferently, somewhat disdainfully. In the past month, they had even defeated a Soul Master level Bronze Soul Fighting Team, so why would they worry about a Soul Venerable level Silver Soul Fighting Team?
Ma Hongjun also saw the information on it.
"Royal Fighting Team:
Leader: Qin Ming.
Captain: Yu Tianheng, Martial Soul: Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, Level 39 Power Attack Type Soul Master. Soul Rings: Two Yellow, One Purple.
Vice Captain: Dugu Yan, Martial Soul: Jade Phosphorous Serpent, Level 38 Control Type Soul Master. Soul Rings: Two Yellow, One Purple.
Member: Shi Mo, Martial Soul: Black Tortoise, Level 38 Defense Type Soul Master. Soul Rings: Two Yellow, One Purple.
Member: Shi Mo, Martial Soul: Black Tortoise, Level 37 Defense Type Soul Master." Soul Rings: Two yellow, one purple.
Team Member: Yu Feng, Martial Soul: Wind Chime Bird, Level 36 Agility-Attack Type Battle Soul Master. Soul Rings: Two yellow, one purple.
Team Member: Oslo, Martial Soul: Ghost Leopard, Level 36 Agility-Attack Type Battle Soul Master. Soul Rings: Two yellow, one purple.
Team Member: Ye Lingling, Martial Soul: Nine-Hearted Begonia, Level 35 Support Type Weapon Soul Master. Soul Rings: Two yellow, one purple. "
When the last name appeared, Ma Hongjun's heart trembled, and he murmured to himself,
'Nine-Hearted Begonia!'
Flander also looked over, and when he saw the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, he looked at the Grandmaster in surprise."
The master didn't avoid his gaze, frankly saying,
"That's right, Yu Tianheng is from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan; he's my nephew.
This Royal Fighting Team should be from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Judging from their strength, they should be the team that will soon participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament.
It's a good opportunity to spar with them beforehand and let you know the strength of the Soul Master Tournament teams."
Flander's lips curled slightly when he saw Qin Ming's name, and he added,
"Winning or losing this match isn't important. Just treat it as a friendly match. Remember not to hurt your opponents, especially Hongjun, don't stab them too hard with your gun."
Ma Hongjun replied with a smile,
"I know, teacher, of course I won't be that harsh on them. "
"You all know about my father's injury; he still needs the help of this Nine-Hearted Begonia Soul Master to heal him."
The master continued, "We can talk about anything else after the match. Let's finish this one first.
They just defeated the Berserker Team, and their overall strength is no weaker than yours, so we must take them seriously.
Hongjun, don't use your fourth Soul Skill in this match; save it for later.
Mubai and Chengxian can use their Soul Fusion Technique; it's time to see the true combat power of your Soul Fusion Technique." Next
, everyone began to examine each other's martial souls. It could be said that none of the seven members of the Royal Fighting Team possessed weak martial souls; they were all top-tier.
The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex and the Xuan Turtle were the strongest beast martial souls in both offense and defense. The Nine-Hearted Begonia was a support martial soul no weaker than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
They entered the battle preparation area.
Finally, they met the Royal Fighting Team.
Flander and Qin Ming exchanged a smile, then nodded to each other without speaking.
Seeing Qin Ming, Flander felt very proud. Qin Ming was the most outstanding disciple to graduate from Shrek Academy before Ma Hongjun and other students. Now, at only thirty-something years old, he had already reached the Soul Emperor level, truly bringing him honor
. They didn't come over; it wasn't the right time to meet Yu Tianheng.
Both sides curiously sized each other up, but since everyone on the Shrek Academy was wearing matching green masks, the Royal Fighting Team couldn't discern anything.
The young man standing in front wore a blue outfit, was tall and handsome, no less so than Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun. His expression was slightly stiff, though; he must be Yu Tianheng.
The woman leaning against Yu Tianheng had a languid air, green eyes, and short, dark purple hair that gave her a striking appearance; she was the vice-captain, Dugu Yan.
Behind them stood two somewhat similar-looking, composed men with straight noses and square jaws, and muscular builds. The two were undoubtedly the Shi brothers.
Behind them was a short man with short blond hair, his eyes darting around; this was Osro, the Ghost Leopard martial soul.
When they were reviewing the information, many joked that Osro might be Oscar's long-lost brother. If it weren't for the vast difference in their martial souls, one might really think they were brothers. His eyes were comparable to Oscar's captivating peach blossom eyes.
The last two were also very close together. The one on the left had long blond hair, dressed in black, and possessed a beauty comparable to a woman. This description is because his attire was androgynous; he had some feminine beauty but appeared as a man.
This person is Yu Feng; it's unclear if she's a woman disguised as a man. The
one on the right is clearly female.
She's also dressed in black, even her face is veiled in black. She's slender, with long, flowing blue hair cascading down her back.
Her eyes are also blue, but they appear somewhat lifeless, calm as still water, revealing no emotion. From her, one can only sense loneliness and desolation.
Ma Hongjun's gaze lingers on her, but she seems indifferent to the people and things around her, as if she has no interest in anything, ignoring Ma Hongjun's burning gaze.
She is Ye Lingling,
the woman Ma Hongjun has waited for for many years.
