Chapter 68 Arrogant? Confident!
Looking at Xiao Hongchen who was sent out by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, everyone in Shrek Academy couldn't help but feel a storm in their hearts, and the only remaining hope disappeared.

You should know that Shrek Academy has already lost a team battle before. If it loses again in this individual elimination match, it will be directly eliminated and will not be able to participate in the next game.

At this time, Dai Yueheng had already died in the main team, Yao Haoxuan was brought back to Shrek Academy due to injuries, and Ma Xiaotao was also taken away by Xuanzi because of her martial spirit.

Now Ling Luochen and Chen Zifeng are both affected by the ice and fire poison of the Red-Eyed Ice Toad and have lost their ability to fight.

The only one left, Gong Yang Mo, who has the highest soul power, is still an auxiliary soul master, and it is definitely impossible for him to be sent out to fight alone.

The agile attack soul master Xixi was completely defeated by Xiao Hongchen in terms of both soul skills and fighting style. The others also had a considerable gap in soul power compared to Xiao Hongchen.

Although Wang Yan often comforts everyone with words and theories like the so-called soul masters of the Sun-Moon Empire rely on drugs to increase their soul power levels, their combat effectiveness is not strong, and their soul power itself is too superficial and not stable enough.

But in fact, everyone knows that this is only the method used by the middle-level and lower-level soul masters of the Sun-Moon Empire.

After thousands of years of development, the current Sun-Moon Empire has been gradually improving the martial spirits of their soul masters, which were originally weaker than those in the original Douluo Continent.

If we really want to compare, perhaps the low-level soul masters originally from the three kingdoms of Douluo Continent are not as good as the soul masters of the Sun Moon Empire. Most of the soul masters originally from the three kingdoms of Douluo Continent will never be able to break through the shackles of the twenty-ninth level of soul power and become soul masters in their entire lives.

In comparison, level three soul masters can be found in great numbers in the Sun-Moon Empire, and even level four and level five soul masters can be produced stably through drugs.

Of course, in a confrontation of the same level, a soul engineer who has taken a large amount of drugs will have unstable soul power, but he cannot resist the other party's soul power being high enough. The difference is as much as ten levels of soul power, a major realm.

They have soul guides to make up for their deficiencies. How can ordinary soul masters counterattack with soul power far weaker than that of their opponents?
Moreover, the three kingdoms originally belonging to Douluo Continent all have elixirs such as Soul-Boosting Pills and Mysterious Water Pills, which can increase soul power and improve the qualifications of soul masters without any side effects.

How could the Sun-Moon Empire, which started out as a soul guide and has done deeper research on elixirs, not have any of that?

It’s just that the three countries that originally belonged to Douluo Continent have been consciously controlling the checkpoints and controlling some relatively high-end medicinal materials to prevent them from flowing into the Sun and Moon Empire.

This curbed the development of the Sun-Moon Empire, but even so, the high-level medicines produced locally in the Sun-Moon Empire were more than enough to support the cultivation of some geniuses.

For example, Xiao Hongchen, who is known as the number one genius of the Sun-Moon Empire in a hundred years, is also a direct descendant of the Hongchen family. His grandfather is a ninth-level soul mentor, a Titled Douluo, and the head of the Mingde Hall.

With such a background and such an identity, Xiao Hongchen's soul power is far superior to those of the ultimate soul masters whose soul power and body must be forced to adapt to extreme attributes.

At least people like Beibei and Xu Sanshi are definitely not much better than Xiao Hongchen when they are at the same level.

Beibei and Xu Sanshi are about the same age as Xiao Hongchen, both fourteen or fifteen years old. However, in this case, their soul power is one major realm lower than Xiao Hongchen's, not to mention that Xiao Hongchen also has another identity as a soul mentor. This is enough to illustrate the gap in talent between them.

"Are we going to have a round-robin battle next?" Gong Yang Mo said with a helpless smile. The feminine demeanor he originally had had dissipated a lot at this moment, and was replaced by a hint of sadness.

Wang Yan also seemed very embarrassed. If he wanted to use a round-robin battle to wear down Xiao Hongchen, then the players sent ahead would undoubtedly be cannon fodder.

Who should be sent now? No matter who is sent, it is not a good choice.

Finally, Wang Yan made a decision, looked at Xu Sanshi and said, "Sanshi, I'm counting on you."

At this time, Wang Yan's words were extremely dry and he could no longer utter any words of encouragement.

But Xu Sanshi also nodded and said, "Leave it to me, Teacher Wang. No matter what, I will definitely let that guy from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy see the elegance of our Shrek Academy students."

Although Xu Sanshi's words were very nice, the reality was cruel. Under the fierce bombardment of Xiao Hongchen's soul guide attack, even if he fought with all his strength.

At the critical moment, he forcibly opened the Xuanwu seal, awakened the power of his bloodline, activated the bloodline of the divine beast, and his strength skyrocketed, but Xu Sanshi could not hold on for long.

After all, due to the failure of the awakening ceremony in childhood, the Xuanwu martial soul has been in a sealed state for many years, and Xu Sanshi is not proficient in its development and control.

But his opponent, Xiao Hongchen is different. He also possesses the blood of the three-legged golden toad. Although the origin of his blood is not as good as that of Xuanwu, the strength of the blood of the divine beast in him and Xu Sanshi is similar.

And unlike Xu Sanshi, the blood of the divine beast in Xiao Hongchen did not have any negative effects, and he could fully control it. In this case, although the sudden display of the Xuanwu aura by Xu Sanshi surprised him a little, that was all.

The seriously injured Xu Sanshi was sent off the stage by Tiansha Douluo to be treated by a special healing soul mentor.

However, Xu Sanshi was seriously injured and his Xuanwu bloodline was forcibly activated. Regardless of whether Shrek Academy could hold on until the finals, he would not be able to participate in the next battle.

At this time, Xiao Hongchen still put on an attitude of condescension, looking down on the people in the audience, especially the contestants from Shrek Academy.

Although Xiao Hongchen had used a lot of soul guides and his attacks were fierce just now, he did not actually consume too much soul power because he had advanced charging soul guides. At most, he just consumed some more physical strength.

Therefore, the effect of Xu Sanshi's battle was not ideal. Seeing this scene, Wang Yan's heart sank.

Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen, Chen Zifeng, and Xu Sanshi, four of the seven players have already been used.

If there are three more people, can Jiang Nannan, Beibei and Xixi really do it?

Can they really defeat Xiao Hongchen?

But time waits for no one, and under the urging of Tiansha Douluo, Jiang Nannan finally went on the court.

She is good at physical skills, and has some very special soul skills, including gravity control, instant movement, and invincible golden body. For a moment, Xiao Hongchen could not do anything to her.

But as time went by, Xiao Hongchen, who was not distracted by anyone else, focused on using his defensive soul guide and blocked several of Jiang Nannan's full-strength attacks, leaving her no chance at all.

Jiang Nannan, whose soul power level was only that of a soul lord, slowed down her attack after using several high-consumption special soul skills in succession. Jiang Nannan's soul power had been exhausted with these attacks. Seeing that things were hopeless, she did not continue to hold on. She consumed the last bit of soul power, used instant movement to avoid another attack from Xiao Hongchen, and walked off the stage.

Seeing this scene, all the spectators watching the game couldn't help but express disappointment.

At the same time, everyone became somewhat frightened and uneasy.

Including Ma Rulong who died in the previous battle, and Meng Hongchen who also died, Xiao Hongchen was only the third person sent by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, and now Shrek Academy only has two spots left to fight.

Could it be that this time, the glory and winning streak that Shrek Academy has maintained for so many years will be interrupted here?

Finally, it was Beibei's turn to play. As the captain of the reserve team, Beibei has been under a lot of pressure since the beginning of the competition.

In addition, as the great-great-grandson of Moon, he also attached great importance to the glory of Shrek Academy.

Although he could not hear the comments of the audience outside on the competition stage due to the isolation of the soul guide shield, he seemed to feel that each gaze was poking his spine.

If I lose here, if the glory of Shrek Academy is interrupted in this Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition in which I participated, how will I face the seniors and juniors in the academy?

How should he face his great-great-grandfather Moon En, and how should he face himself who claims to be a genius?
The elegant smile that always appeared on his face seemed particularly stiff at this moment. Even with all the psychological counseling before the game, it was unable to comfort Beibei who was already on the brink of failure.

What's more, he was responsible for the last spot that would consume Xiao Hongchen's strength.

What if I can't do it? What if it's because of my own problems that Xixi missed the chance to defeat Xiao Hongchen?

Although these problems should not be borne by Beibei, he couldn't help but put himself in the situation where he might be despised by everyone.

As the two sides got closer and closer, the game had not yet begun. Looking at the pale but still trying to remain calm captain of the Shrek Academy reserve team, Bei Bei, in front of him.

Xiao Hongchen sneered disdainfully, thinking: "Oh, is this my future opponent? Maybe I don't need to wait until later, after all, he is no longer qualified to be my opponent now."

Then Xiao Hongchen actually raised his hand and said to the referee beside him: "Your Majesty Tiansha, in this individual elimination match, we, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, admit defeat."

Without waiting for Tiansha Douluo to reply, Xiao Hongchen came forward and smiled at Beibei who was close at hand: "This time, I will make you Shrek Academy lose your heart! Submit! Submit!"

Every word seemed to hit Beibei's heart hard. Somehow, Beibei walked off the stage in a daze. Looking at Xiao Hongchen who also went off the stage to rest, he couldn't help but sigh.

Tiansha Douluo announced on the stage at this time: "This competition is an individual elimination round. Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy admits defeat. Next, the members of both teams will rest for 30 minutes. The 223 overtime will officially begin in 30 minutes."

"Please prepare both teams and report to me the members of the teams that will play in the 223 overtime match."

Wang Yan looked at Bei Bei, who sat down dejectedly without saying a word after returning to the rest area. He patted his shoulder, whispered a few words of comfort, and then said.

"Now that Ling Luochen and Chen Zifeng are in a more stable state, let the healing spirit masters of the competition take over. Gong Yangmo, Ning Tian, ​​you should hurry up and recover your spirit and physical strength. You will also have to start the next 223 round."

Then Wang Yan looked at Bei Bei and said, "Bei Bei, you should adjust yourself and believe in yourself and your teammates. The arrogance of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy will be the cause of their downfall."

"Xixi, let's follow the previous arrangement. You and Beibei will be in the same group. You two should be put in the second doubles match."

"As for the first doubles match, Jiang Nannan, how is your soul power recovering?"

Jiang Nannan shook her head helplessly and said, "If it takes half an hour, even with the help of elixirs, I can only recover about 70% of my soul power."

Hearing this, Wang Yan nodded and said, "Okay, then you and Gong Yangmo will be in charge of the first game. Remember, if your opponent is Xiao Hongchen, you must delay the game as much as possible. If it is Meng Hongchen, be careful of her poison."

Jiang Nannan and Gong Yangmo both nodded. However, having said that, if a real fight came, whether the current arrangements and expectations would be effective would be another matter.

“As for the third three-on-three battle,” Wang Yan’s gaze began to wander between Wang Dong, Ning Tian, ​​Xiao Xiao, and Huo Yuhao, but he was unable to make a decision for a long time.

Because the gap is so huge, isn't it ridiculous to let a few two-ring and three-ring soul masters fight against the opponent's all-five-ring and fifth-level soul masters?
Finally, Wang Yan named them and said, “Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao, and Ning Tian, ​​the three of you will fight in the last match. I believe you can do it.”

"Ah, me?" Wang Dong was a little confused. Only then did he realize that, except for himself and others, Shrek Academy actually had no soldiers capable of fighting.

But isn’t this job a bit too difficult for her, a mere three-ring soul master?

Although she has a good quality soul bone hidden in her body as a trump card, it is just a soul bone. It has no ability to help her cross two realms and defeat the enemy! It doesn't make sense!
Ning Tian also gave a bitter smile at this time, but still agreed, while Huo Yuhao nodded indifferently, because he was 80% sure that this final three-on-three fight would most likely not end in a fight.

After all, in the first two two-on-two matches, the team had already been beaten to a pulp by the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. How could they win any of the matches and make it to the final three-on-three round?

Some people may think that Xiao Hongchen’s previous behavior was blind arrogance. If he can do it, it will not be arrogance, but real strength.

Defeating Shrek Academy in three battles and dealing a severe blow to the reputation of Shrek Academy was of unpredictable value to the Sun-Moon Empire.

Although Xiao Hongchen may not have thought so much, he just simply wanted to avenge his teammates and slap Shrek Academy in the face.

In the end, with the help of several healing soul masters, the ice and fire poison in Ling Luochen and Chen Zifeng were barely suppressed, but they were still unable to fight in a short period of time.

Wang Yan had no choice but to submit this list of participating players, which looked even a bit miserable, at the 29th minute.

As the thirty minutes were up, Tiansha Douluo's emotionless voice sounded again: "First match of the 223 match, two-on-two, please invite the members of both teams to the stage!"
