Time passed, and only one year and two months remained until the Continent-wide Senior Soul Master Tournament.
Suotuo City, Great Spirit Arena!
On the spacious Douhun Platform, all sorts of Spirits bloomed, and brilliant spirit rings shone.
In the surrounding stands, the cheers were earth-shattering; the audience's enthusiasm far exceeded other days.
In one area of the stands.
The Shrek Group sat together, their gazes fixed on the distant Douhun Platform.
"Is this a Spirit Ancestor-level team battle? It looks truly intense!"
"Compared to them, we feel like we're just playing house."
"And the people from that Huang Dou Battle Team look so young; they seem only a few years older than us, yet their Spirit Power Levels are so high."
"Exactly, especially that female Spirit Master with the Jade Phosphor Snake Martial Soul; her Spirit Power Level is probably not far from level 50."
"Such talent is truly terrifying; I'm afraid even Little San can't compare."
The Shrek Group chattered amongst themselves, discussing animatedly.
On the Douhun Platform, the Huang Dou Battle Team was crushing their opponents with the momentum of a whirlwind scattering clouds.
Although their opponents were all above level 40, with an average Spirit Power Level no lower than 45, making them a high-tier team in the Suotuo CityGreat Spirit Arena.
But before the Huang Dou Battle Team, they were still not enough.
After several months of tempering, everyone in the Huang Dou Battle Team had improved their strength to varying degrees, increasing by at least one Rank.
Ning Rongrong had even had a Breakthrough from rank 28 to rank 30 during this time.
After receiving Ning Rongrong's message, Sword Douluo flew thousands of miles on his sword to take her to the Star Dou Great Forest to absorb her third spirit ring.
Now, Ning Rongrong's Spirit Power Level had also reached rank 31.
Besides her, the members of the Huang Dou Battle Team with the lowest spirit power, Yu Feng and Oscar, had both reached rank 38.
With such a lineup, even a Spirit Ancestor team above level 40 was no match for them.
Traveling all the way from Heaven Dou City, they had gone through dozens of Spirit Ancestor-level team matches without a single defeat.
"Huang Dou Battle Team, victorious!"
As the host finished the announcement, the entire venue erupted once more in thunderous cheers and shouts.
Qin Ming stood smiling outside the passage connecting to the Douhun Platform; as the Huang Dou Battle Team members walked out, he stepped forward with a smile.
"Won again; everyone performed very well!"
Dugu Yan chuckled softly, "Teacher Qin Ming overpraises us; we still have a lot of room for improvement."
"Hahaha, Student Dugu, don't be so modest. Let's go; I've already booked a hotel for you to celebrate your victory."
Upon hearing this, everyone cheered.
Throughout this journey of experience, Qin Ming had mostly served as a guardian and hadn't actually taught them much.
However, Qin Ming always managed to arrange their food, drink, and lodging perfectly.
Coupled with his good talent—having become a Spirit Emperor in his early thirties—everyone respected him for various reasons.
Just as Qin Ming was about to lead the Huang Dou Battle Team away, the host's voice suddenly rang out from another Douhun Platform.
"Next, we invite the members of both the Shrek Seven Devils and the Berserk Fighting Team to take the stage."
Hearing the familiar name, Qin Ming was slightly stunned, and his footsteps faltered.
Dugu Yan immediately sensed Qin Ming's abnormality, then looked over and asked, "Teacher Qin Ming, do you happen to know the two teams the host just mentioned?"
A look of reminiscence flashed in Qin Ming's eyes, and he didn't hide it.
"Correct. If I'm not mistaken, that group called the Shrek Seven Devils are likely my juniors."
"Teacher Qin Ming's juniors?"
"By the way, we don't seem to have heard which academy Teacher Qin Ming came from."
"Exactly. Teacher Qin Ming's talent would make him a top-tier Genius in any academy, right? How could he have been unknown before?"
"Shrek Seven Devils? Since Teacher Qin Ming is so talented, I wonder how his juniors' talents are."
"How about we go take a look?"
Once mentioned, everyone's interest was immediately piqued.
"Sure, I'm also curious about what Teacher Qin Ming's juniors look like."
Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Qin Ming smiled and said, "Since you all want to see, let's go take a look together."
With that, Qin Ming led the Huang Dou Battle Team to a private observation box.
From this box, they could directly see the Douhun Platform where the Shrek Seven Devils and the Berserk Fighting Team were located.
By the time they reached the box, the fight on the Douhun Platform had already begun, and the battle was imminent.
"Brothers, release your Spirits!" Dai Mubai roared, instantly undergoing Martial Soul Possession as his body expanded by a size.
The others also released their respective Spirits one after another, with spirit rings spiraling up, making the entire Douhun Platform look incredibly brilliant.
On the Shrek Seven Devils' side, there were four Spirit Elders plus two Spirit Grandmasters, their spirit ring configurations all being two yellow, or two yellow and one purple.
As for the Berserk Fighting Team, their spirit ring configurations appeared somewhat uneven, mostly a combination of one white, one yellow, and one purple.
As the battle erupted, although Meng Yiran had replaced Ning Rongrong's position from the original story, giving the Shrek Seven Devils one more Spirit Elder's combat power,
however, as a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile PagodaSpirit Master, Ning Rongrong's presence was clearly more significant to the entire team than Meng Yiran's.
This resulted in the Shrek Seven Devils fighting an incredibly difficult battle.
Especially after the Berserk Fighting Team entered their Berserk state, it forced Tang San to use all his skills to narrowly win the match.
In the observation box, the Huang Dou Battle Team members finished watching the entire match and couldn't help but comment, "Teacher Qin Ming, your juniors have some skill, especially that Blue Silver Grass Spirit Master."
Dugu Yan also nodded in agreement, saying solemnly, "And although they're all wearing masks, I can still sense that they don't seem to be very old."
"But which academy are they from? The famous academies in the Balak Kingdom seem to only be Balak Academy and the Strange Beast Academy. Which one are they from?"
After speaking, everyone looked curiously at Qin Ming.
The corners of Qin Ming's mouth curled up slightly, and a hint of reminiscence appeared in his eyes.
He said, "They don't belong to Balak Academy, nor do they belong to the Strange Beast Academy. Instead, they come from..."
"Shrek Academy!"
Mentioning Shrek Academy, a look of pride appeared on Qin Ming's face.
Although he had suffered many setbacks after leaving the academy and realized that there might be some issues with what the academy taught, causing him to restrain his sharpness over the years,
as the saying goes, 'a son does not mind his mother's ugliness, and a dog does not mind its home's poverty'.
So Qin Ming was still full of gratitude toward Shrek.
Upon hearing this, the Huang Dou group looked curious.
"Shrek Academy?"
"What kind of academy is that? Is there such an academy among the Heaven Dou Empire's senior Spirit Master academies? How come I don't know about it?"
"I don't know either. Could it be some hidden academy?"
Seeing this, Qin Ming laughed, "Since everyone is so curious, I'll take you to see for yourselves. It might just make your jaws drop."
Everyone's eyes lit up, filled with curiosity.
Shrek Academy—what kind of academy is it?
