—------------------—
The last three months swiftly passed, and the Sun Moon Federation's All-Federal Grand Competition, held every five years, arrived as scheduled.
Top academy teams from seventeen first-tier cities successively poured into Shrek City. This continent's number one city seemed poised to emerge from the gloom of the past two years.
In the Tianhai Alliance motorcade, the East Sea five-person group was prominently seated in one of the vehicles, with Yu Zhen, Dean of East Sea Academy, as the driver.
"It's my first time in the continent's number one city, it's truly extraordinary, so big!" Xie Xie exclaimed in wonder, looking at the bustling scenery outside the window.
"Don't overthink it. We're just here to enjoy the show. I wonder if we'll get to see Teacher Wu." Tang Wulin wasn't interested in these things; he missed Wu Changkong a bit.
"Then we're doomed! Spirit Masters from the Tianhai Alliance have always been weak."
Xu Xiaoyan stuck out her tongue, regretting, "There are no sub-professional competitions in the Grand Competition, otherwise you would definitely achieve a good ranking."
"It's good enough to just watch the competition. If it weren't for you, Xiaoyan, and Senior Brother, the Alliance might not have been so generous as to bring us along."
Tang Wulin didn't mind not being able to compete, treating it as a vacation. Xu Xiaoyan had received a special invitation from Mingdu, and East Sea Academy used her as a role model for publicity. The Tianhai Alliance, having benefited from Feng Zaixing, also had a good impression of these younger brothers and sisters.
Yu Zhen chuckled, "Shrek Academy, also called Shrek Inner City, is now all outer city. You'll have something to see in a bit."
"I have good news for you all. In the past, the All-Federal Grand Competition was always held in the outer city. This time, Shrek is opening its Inner City for the first time, setting the competition area in the famous Spirit Ice Plaza."
"Spirit Ice Plaza? I heard there's a statue of the Spirit Ice Douluo there. Does that mean we can enter Shrek Academy?" Wang Jinxi's face flushed with excitement.
"Yes, that's why I'm bringing you to broaden your horizons. Shrek probably knows its reputation isn't great and wants to salvage some of it."
Yu Zhen smiled in agreement, really hoping that the Geniuses in this car could get into here, after all, it was the first academy for twenty thousand years.
"In comparison, there's no suspense in the Grand Competition itself. That person from Mingdu simply has no opponent."
Yu Zhen said with some emotion. Shrek didn't participate in the competition, and five of the ten Grand Competition championships had fallen into the hands of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. This time, there would be no exception.
Recalling Feng Zaixing, Tang Wulin and the others' thoughts also became active. He must be even stronger now.
With the Inner City gates opening for the first time, vehicles that had been speeding through the Outer City slowed down, crossing the ancient city walls and entering the Shrek City of ten thousand years ago.
After parking the vehicles, Yu Zhen displayed the "East Sea Academy" banner and led his people to register. Xie Xie looked left and right, quickly muttering.
"Strange, all the other academies from Mingdu are here, but why isn't the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy team?"
Tang Wulin said, "Maybe they're just late?"
"But we're already the latest." Xu Xiaoyan said, guessing, "Do they want to make a grand entrance?"
"Buzz—" "Buzz—"
Before Xu Xiaoyan finished speaking, a sound of high-speed objects rubbing against the air came from afar. The five-person group, and even the people from surrounding academies, looked up, their eyes instantly brightening.
"Is that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy team? Three red Divine Rank mechas, what a grand gesture!" Xie Xie, who came from a mecha-owning Family, exclaimed. High above Shrek Outer City, three red mechas led the way, followed by a dozen black mechas, wielding great sabers and axes, with guns and cannons like a forest, like elite soldiers breaking through a border, heading straight for the Inner City.
In Spirit Ice Plaza, Ya Li, the Shrek host, frowned and loudly declared, "Shrek Academy airspace, no mechas are allowed to fly! What do you intend to do?"
"The Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy has been invited to the All-Federal Grand Competition. What does that have to do with you? We only obey the Sun Moon Federation's laws, not your rules!"
A clear voice emanated from above the first red mecha. The front hatch of the mecha slowly opened, and a figure in blue, with an extraordinary Aura, emerged.
Sunlight spilled onto his back, a pair of white wings unfurled behind him, surrounded by golden radiance. Holy Light spirit power transformed into a three-foot-long sword, pointing towards the Void Realm. He was like the son of the sun, his young face radiating an unapproachable brilliance.
Seeing it was Feng Zaixing, Ya Li and Lan Muzi's expressions changed. This person had left too deep an impression on them a year ago.
"Zaixing is right. The Sun Moon Federation's law prohibits trespassing on private airspace, but our academy has come a long way and isn't flying over the Inner City. Could it be that this Outer City is also your private property? Do the Tang Sect and Spirit Pagoda agree?"
The red mecha to Feng Zaixing's left opened its hatch, and Luan Hongchen jumped out, saying with a friendly expression:
"We meet again, Saint Spirit Your Excellency. I wonder how you have been recently?"
"My affairs are none of Dean Hongchen's concern." Ya Li replied coldly, scanning the mechas, and said in a chilling voice:
"Since you are participating in the All-Federal Grand Competition, why don't you come down? Do you intend to fight in the sky?"
As she spoke, Red Dragon Douluo Zhuo Shi, Blazing Dragon Douluo Feng Wuyu, Lan Muzi, Tang Yinmeng, and a group of Shrek students all stepped forward, glaring coldly at the newcomers.
The newcomers were hostile; it was time for them to defend Shrek's honor!
"A sky battle is not impossible, it just depends on what the various academies and your Shrek think."
The third person emerged from the red mecha, with Sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, and a sharp Aura. It was none other than the Second War God of the War God Hall, the ninety-eighth rank Super Douluo, Emperor Sword Douluo Long Tianwu.
As soon as he appeared, the Emperor Sword Spirit soared into the sky, its Sword Qi tearing through the blood Qi fluctuations of the Twin Holy Dragons.
Upon seeing this, the expressions of the three Shrek elders grew even more solemn, realizing that today would be another major event, and a misstep in handling it could lead to trouble.
"Boom, boom, boom."
The hatches of several black mechas opened wide. Na'er, Yu Xin, Gu Yue, Xu Miao, Wang Wen, Yuanen Yehui, Le Zhengyu, and Long Chen led eight others, and a group of Spirit Masters with three rings or more appeared behind Feng Zaixing and the two ninety-eighth rank Super Douluo. Some had playful expressions, while others were stern.
Divine Sword Douluo Su Mengjun flew out from a black mecha, standing alongside Long Tianwu. The Divine Sword Spirit soared into the sky, their Auras connected, comparable to the peak.
The Void Realm twisted, and Han Tianyi appeared, a smile on his face.
Ya Li's brows were tightly furrowed, suppressing her anger, she said, "What exactly do you want to do?!"
"Angel Family's Feng Zaixing, today I grant you a sword."
With a slight smile, Feng Zaixing raised the Kingly Sacred Sword, controlling the sword with Qi, and hurled it fiercely, straight towards the Shrek Inner City gate.
The three elders, Lan Muzi, and Tang Yinmeng immediately released their spirit power to attack. Luan Hongchen, Long Tianwu, Su Mengjun, and Han Tianyi simultaneously made their moves. Twin swords pierced through the Twin Holy Dragons, soul cannon fire engulfed the power of wishes, and an overwhelming mental force forced all five to retreat.
With a "boom," the Angelic Holy Sword landed firmly in front of the ancient and solemn gate of Shrek Inner City, sinking a foot into the ground, yet remaining unmoving.
The Emperor Sword Qi descended, guarding the Kingly Sacred Sword. Even with the formidable Auras of the five masters, they couldn't budge it an inch for a while.
"How dare you!"
Just then, an aged roar came from Shrek Inner City. Two Dragon shadows, one gold and one black, burst out fiercely, their Aura so magnificent that it changed the color of the sky and earth, far surpassing the Twin Holy Dragons.
The Dragon shadows did not blast towards the Holy Sword, but instead rushed straight into the high sky, towards the radiant, god-like Feng Zaixing.
Light Sacred Dragon and Dark Sacred Dragon, Light and Dark Douluo, Long Yeyue!
"Old thing, after all these years, you're still so shameless!"
A chilling sneer came from the Void Realm, followed by the appearance of a giant white Dragon in front of everyone.
Above the white Dragon, Qiangu Dieting stood proudly, his body radiating a boundless, hell-like surge of Qi. With a sweep of his horizontal staff, a thousand-zhang staff shadow, layered and overlapping, shattered everything, crushing the twin Dragon light shadows head-on.
As the Quasi-Gods began to fight, a power akin to a minor plane explosion shattered a section of the sky. The radiance of Shrek Inner City dimmed significantly, revealing a hunched, stumbling old woman. Like a kite with a broken string, she was sent flying thousands of meters in an instant.
A trace of blood appeared at Long Yeyue's mouth. She was at an absolute disadvantage, the difference in power immediately apparent.
However, Shrek City clearly wouldn't let the situation become so unsightly. From deep within Sea God Island, an earth-shattering, incandescent radiance suddenly burst forth, catching Long Yeyue. The Sky-Sealing power of the Sky-Piercing Spear then immediately pressed down.
"Everyone get down!" Yun Ming appeared, his face as cold as frost. As the Sea God's Pavilion Master, he was determined to defend Shrek's prestige!
Behind him, some twenty figures shot out, all of Shrek's powerhouses had been dispatched.
"The sky is so beautiful, how can it be your Yun Ming's exclusive domain?"
When Yun Ming's peak human Aura pressed down on Qiangu Dieting, an infinitely vast burst of Angelic Holy Light erupted. Le Zhengyang arrived, striding across the Void Realm, holding an ancient Holy Sword in his palm, releasing a radiance even more brilliant than the sun!
He blocked with his sword, and the two Quasi-Gods' Auras dominated the Nine Heavens, actually forcing the incandescent radiance to roll back. From the moment Le Zhengyang appeared, the sky had fallen under his control.
After achieving the peak, Yun Ming lost control of the sky for the first time. His gaze instantly fell on the weapon in Le Zhengyang's hand, and his pupils constricted.
"Divine Artifact, Angel God Sword?"
