The first round of the Qualifiers was in full swing.
All the spectators were in their seats.
Quietly waiting for the match to begin.
The host walked onto the arena stage with a microphone.
"First round of the Qualifiers: Heaven Dou Royal Academy versus Shrek Academy!"
...Hearing the news of the first round's matchup released.
Everyone from Shrek had a look of distress on their faces.
"My god! What kind of matchmaking mechanism is this?"
"We're going on stage in the very first round?"
"This Heaven Dou Division is being too inhumane!"
The Goulan Phoenix was like a deflated ball, his two small beady eyes full of resentment.
It was one thing to fight against Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
But why was the match scheduled so early?
This caught them off guard; they didn't have enough time to arrange their formation at all.
Oscar also said worriedly, "It's over, it's over. We aren't going to lose the very first match, are we?"
Hearing such discouraging words.
Xiao Wu couldn't take it anymore.
She raised her leg and gave each of them a kick.
"Little Ao, Fatty!"
"Can you stop saying such discouraging things!"
"It's just Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Although we were defeated by them before."
"We aren't vegetarians either!"
"In this past year or so, our improvement has been huge, okay!"
Xiao Wu's fighting Martial Soul was high.
She looked eager to give it a try.
Oscar said dismissively, "But Xiao Wu, aren't you a vegetarian? And you specifically love eating carrots."

As soon as he finished speaking.
Xiao Wu gave Oscar a death stare.
Oscar was so scared he quickly covered his mouth.
"Alright everyone!"
"I think Xiao Wu is right!"
"It's just Heaven Dou Royal Academy. If we can't even defeat them, how can we make it to the end of the competition!"
Tang San had confidence coming from who knows where.
He stood up and encouraged everyone.
"Little San is right!"
"We can't boost others' morale while undermining our own!"
After more than a year of recovery.
Dai Mubai had gradually returned to a normal state from his previous effeminate mannerisms.
But there were still lingering effects.
A certain part of him was completely unable to rise again.
"Little San, the task of arranging our formation will be left to you," Dai Mubai said with a solemn expression.
Although he was the captain.
Dai Mubai was only good at fighting, not at using his brain.
At this moment, he could only entrust this important task to Tang San, who had the highest IQ among them.
Hearing this.
The other Shrek team members seemed to have found their pillar of support.
They all turned their gazes toward Tang San.
Tang San didn't stand on ceremony.
He accepted the task without hesitation and nodded with a serious expression: "Since everyone trusts me so much, I won't refuse!"
"As the old saying goes."
"The first battle is the decisive battle; one victory settles the world!"
"So we can only win and not lose our first battle!"
"Later, I, Xiao Wu, Boss Dai, Fatty, Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing, and Tai Long will compete."
"At the same time, we will avenge the humiliation Heaven Dou Royal Academy gave us back then!"
"Let them see what a wrong decision it was to reject us back then!"
As Tang San's voice fell.
A murderous aura simultaneously appeared on the faces of the original Shrek six.
Back then at the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena.
They had suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Huang Dou Team.
Later, they wanted to join their academy with full sincerity.
But in the end, they were kicked out.
This humiliation was engraved in their hearts.
They wanted to get their revenge at all times.
Meanwhile.
Just as the Shrek group was rubbing their hands in anticipation, full of confidence and ready to show their skills.
Personnel arrangements were also being made at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Since Qin Ming had resigned.
This time, the leading teacher of Heaven Dou Royal Academy had been replaced by an attack system Battle Spirit Emperor named Jiang Chen.
Seeing that their first-round opponent was the Shrek team, who had been defeated by the Huang Dou Team before.
He was very relaxed.
He left the arrangement of the participating members to Yu Tianheng.
"Shrek Academy? I didn't expect to run into them again. I wonder if their strength has improved in this past year or so? I hope they can last a few more rounds against us this time," Yu Feng said very confidently.
Osler chimed in, "Don't be in a hurry, let's see the captain's arrangement."
All the team members' eyes fell on Yu Tianheng.
Yu Tianheng sat with his legs crossed, looking down at the Shrek group with arrogance and disdain.
After a long time, he slowly spoke.
"Why use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken?"
"Leave these dung beetles from Shrek to the Second Team to handle."
"Our First Team will conserve our strength for the later matches."
Hearing this.
Yu Feng was a bit disappointed; he had originally wanted to crush some noobs.
Unfortunately, the captain didn't give him the chance.
The time left for the two teams to arrange their battle plans was not long.
Before long.
Specialized staff urged the participating Soul Masters of both teams to take the stage.
Just like in the original story.
Shrek was not favored by anyone, so they were met with various boos as soon as they stepped onto the stage.
Tang San and the others were somewhat annoyed by this.
They made up their minds to perform well in the upcoming match.
To slap these guys in the face.
Compared to the Shrek members.
The Royal Combat Team Two was completely different.
As the Second Team sent by the hosts.
Their entrance could be described as extremely flashy.
From the top of the completely enclosed Great Spirit Arena, giant searchlights fell vertically.
Accompanied by flowers and cheers.
The Royal Combat Team Two made a brilliant entrance.
Watching the opponent's entrance cause a stir among the audience.
Tang San and the other seven felt disdain in their hearts.
Dai Mubai complained, "It's not a beauty pageant, what the hell are these guys showing off for!"
"Exactly, we must teach them a good lesson later!" Ma Hongjun agreed.
Tang San reminded, "The match is about to start. Remember! We must fight according to the first plan!"
"Okay!" x6
Then the players from both sides exchanged some pre-battle greetings.
Among them, Xiao Wu cursed the most fiercely.
Starting with the word 'mother' and ending with the 'entire family'.
She filled the Royal Combat Team Two's anger bar to the max!
Seeing that the emotional tension on both sides was high enough.
The referee stepped onto the arena.
Announced the start of the match!
Both sides' players immediately activated their Martial Souls.
Then an intense battle broke out.
Just like in the original story.
The final winner of this match was Shrek Academy.
However, the difference was.
In the original story, they defeated the Royal Combat Team Two in one minute with a crushing manner.
And the whole team suffered no injuries.
But now.
Although they won the match, Shrek also paid a significant price.
Everyone was bruised and battered.
The one who was most seriously injured was Tai Long.
Because he was a defense system Soul Master and charged at the very front.
So he took the most hits.
The others all had minor injuries.
Below the stage, Yu Tianheng's expression didn't change at all after hearing that the Second Team had lost.
He said indifferently, "It seems Shrek's skills have indeed improved over this past year or so, but at this level, the gap between them and us is still very large!"
