The light and shadow at the entrance of the passage flickered.
Then, a group of people walked out from there, their steps slightly stiff.
In an instant.
The once noisy and bustling venue fell silent for a moment.
Immediately, it was like cold water being poured into boiling oil.
"puff--"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"What color is that school uniform? It looks like poop."
"Oh my god, it's so ugly! Is that a school uniform? Why are there ads on it?"
"Shrek? Never heard of it... When did our Heaven Dou region get such a high-level Soul Master academy?"
"Their college has terrible taste. They actually wear this shit-green school uniform and even put advertisements on it. How desperate for money do they have to be?"
Deafening laughter and incredulous exclamations instantly replaced the previous cheers and shouts, sweeping across the entire arena like a tsunami.
Nearly 100,000 eyes fell on the Shrek team members, their faces revealing undisguised astonishment and mockery.
Suddenly, Shrek Academy became the focus of everyone's attention.
Of course, the Shrek Academy team members probably wouldn't like being the center of attention.
The intense sense of shame overwhelmed them, causing their toes to grip the ground tightly.
They were being publicly executed, receiving jeers and laughter from all directions, none of them raising their heads as if afraid of being recognized.
Not only the audience in the stands, but even the other teams couldn't help but burst into laughter when they saw Shrek's outfit.
I don't know which idiot came up with this idea. The school uniforms were already a turkey green, but they even had toilet ads on them, which caused a lot of laughs.
The atmosphere on the VIP stage was equally eerie.
Emperor Xueye looked at the team, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.
This outfit, appearing at the highest-level Soul Master gathering on the continent, is truly laughable.
"Why does the name Shrek Academy sound so familiar?"
The Snow Night Emperor's calm tone carried a hint of confusion.
After he finished speaking, Meng Shenji immediately said, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten what happened at Tiandou Academy a year ago? Most of the members of the Shrek team who took the field were students who were expelled back then."
At this point, Meng Shenji sighed and said, "These members of the Shrek team are all rare geniuses, and they are not very old. It's just a pity that they are of bad character, so we expelled them back then."
"I just didn't expect that their Dean Flander would bring them to Blue Tyrant Academy after being expelled, and even change Blue Tyrant Academy to Shrek Academy."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xueye suddenly realized what was happening and began to recall.
This incident is related to avalanche, which led to Xue Beng being expelled from Tian Dou Academy.
At the time, Emperor Xueye did not care about this matter, thinking that it was just a means for the Crown Prince to expel Xue Beng from Tiandou Academy.
After all, Tiandou Academy is Xue Qinghe's territory and a place where the empire trains elites.
It's understandable that Xue Qinghe wouldn't want to see an avalanche inside.
But now, when Meng Shenji mentions this matter again, a look of regret immediately appears on his face.
As an emperor, as long as people are talented, he doesn't really care whether they are of good character or not.
Meanwhile, in an inconspicuous corner of the audience.
Flander, stroking his mustache with a smug air, said to the speechless Shrek teachers beside him:
"Look at this effect! We're the center of attention! Once we win the game, won't these advertisers be scrambling to advertise with us?"
As he spoke, his mercenary nature as a businessman was on full display.
He can completely disregard his reputation in order to make money.
certainly…
The ones who should be feeling bad right now are the children standing on the field!
Liu Erlong glared at Flander with annoyance.
"Brother Fu, can't you dress more normally? Look at the kids, they're so embarrassed they can't even lift their heads."
"Can face be eaten? Can it be exchanged for gold soul coins?"
Flanders was not ashamed, but proud, and stood tall with his chest puffed out.
"This is called investment. Once they win the game with their skills, who will dare to laugh at these clothes? At that time, this will be a symbol of legend."
"That's absurd logic. What if we lose the game? Wouldn't we lose both face and substance?" Liu Erlong sneered.
Flander chuckled dismissively and said, "There are a total of twenty-nine teams in the Tiandou region. Apart from the two teams from Tiandou Academy, with the strength of these little monsters, they can even put up a fight against the Five Elements Academy teams. I don't believe we're so unlucky as to draw Tiandou Academy on the first day."
When this was mentioned, smiles appeared on the faces of the other Shrek teachers as well.
The strength of the Shrek team is evident to all.
Yu Tianheng made a breakthrough a few days ago and has now reached level 45.
This level is among the best in the entire Soul Master Competition.
Besides Yu Tianheng, Dai Mubai also broke through the level 39 bottleneck some time ago and absorbed a soul ring with Flander's help. He is now a level 41 Soul Master.
Besides the two, Tang San, although only level 38, possessed unpredictable and strange abilities, which even Yu Tianheng found troublesome.
With the three of them working together, this lineup would have almost guaranteed a spot in the qualifying rounds in previous years.
However, Flanders and the others' smiles did not last long.
After the Shrek team appeared, the opening ceremony entered its final segment.
The first match of the qualifiers.
The Platinum Bishop Salas will draw lots to randomly select a team to face off against the vice-captain of the Heavenly Battle Team.
This has been a long-standing tradition since the Soul Master Competition was held many times.
The reason why Flanders and the others' smiles were frozen was quite simple.
because…
Salas's slightly hoarse voice echoed throughout the Great Soul Arena!
"The first match of the qualifiers, the Heavenly Dou Royal Vice Team versus..."
"Shrek Team!"
...
In the square, when Salas announced their opponent, the members of the Tian Dou deputy team couldn't help but sneer.
"We never expected that our first opponent would be Shrek Academy."
"What a small world!"
A complex expression flashed across Zhu Zhuqing's and Meng Yiran's faces.
Come to think of it, they were once members of Shrek Academy too.
However, it is precisely because of this that they want to prove to the Shrek Academy members that their choice was not wrong!
Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran exchanged a glance and then looked at Dugu Yan.
"Captain, let us go up in a bit!"
Dugu Yan's gaze lingered on the two of them for a moment before she nodded slightly.
"Okay, you two can replace Lingling and Oslo."
This battle is the first match of the Soul Master Competition, and it cannot be lost.
Therefore, Dugu Yan plans to personally oversee the situation.
After she consumed the immortal herb, her Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul was on the verge of evolution, but it was just one step away from completion.
Now, several years later, with Yang Yuan's help, her Azure Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul has defied its innate nature and evolved into the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor.
After her martial soul evolved, Dugu Yan would either not use her poison skills, or if she did, it would be a nightmare for soul masters with lower soul power than her.
Commonly known as a "victim harvester"!
