Shocks the Entire Sky: The Continental Advanced Elite Soul Master Academy Tournament Finally Begins!
Before the competition, Liu Erlong had already renamed Blue Tyrant Academy to Shrek Academy, and she and Flander planned to get married after the tournament! The
seven participants were Luo Sen, Tang San, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar.
Ning Rongrong wasn't selected not only because the tournament only allowed seven participants, but more importantly, because her Soul Weapon had mutated from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Revealing it would be too shocking, so she temporarily withheld her participation.
Shrek Academy's first opponent was the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Although these were members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's second-tier team, not first-tier seeded players, their strength was still considerable!
Thirty-three academy teams participated in the tournament, including seeded players trained by the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire, so all factions were paying close attention and vying for the talented students.
The Shrek Academy students already harbored a grudge against the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and the Heaven Dou Royal Academy students looked down on Shrek Academy, considering them insignificant. Therefore, tensions were high from the moment they stepped onto the stage.
"Heh, a small, backwater academy dares to dream of
making a name for itself in this elite competition? They're utterly ignorant!" The Heaven Dou Royal Academy students were the first to mock them. Although they weren't top-tier seeded players, they weren't just anyone who could challenge them, and they didn't take the Shrek Academy students seriously at all.
"Don't think you're so great just because you're students of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy! All of you combined are no match for us! Any one of us could annihilate you all in an instant!"
Ma Hongjun stepped forward first, confident of defeating the Heaven Dou Royal Academy students.
The Heaven Dou Royal Academy students didn't believe him at all, thinking Ma Hongjun was just an ignorant clown!
But when the opposing Heaven Dou Royal Academy student appeared, Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Ray instantly annihilated his opponent!
The entire arena fell silent. The sea of spectators were completely bewildered by what had just happened, utterly bewildered as to why the students of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy were so weak.
Even the referee found it unbelievable, only declaring Ma Hongjun the winner after confirming that the Heaven Dou Royal Academy student was unconscious and incapacitated. The next challenge would then be initiated by students from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy!
In this way, Ma Hongjun single-handedly defeated seven students from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, appearing remarkably energetic and showing little sign of soul power depletion, as he had essentially defeated them all with a single move!
The audience erupted in commotion. Even if the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's second team was weak, they shouldn't have been so easily defeated by an unknown academy, especially by a one-against-seven battle!
Many powerful factions immediately began gathering information on Ma Hongjun. While they couldn't recruit the top players from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and the Spirit Hall, they could recruit elites from other academies!
"Fatty, very good! One against seven! A great start! You've really stolen the show this time!" Oscar said with a smile.
"I have to thank everyone for giving me this opportunity. Otherwise, how could I have had the chance to put on my own show?" Ma Hongjun was still quite modest at this moment. After all, he knew his own limitations. In Shrek Academy, he could only spar with Oscar. He didn't dare to provoke anyone else!
Now, not only was Ma Hongjun famous, but Shrek Academy had also become famous. Even the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire was curious and asked what kind of academy Shrek Academy was!
Prince Xue Xing, sitting beside the Emperor, wore an awkward smile. He knew the origins of Shrek Academy; these people had originally intended to join the Heaven Dou Empire, but due to his and the Fourth Prince's obstruction, they had established their own school.
"Your Majesty," the Emperor said, "Shrek Academy isn't a large academy, but its teachers and students are all quite talented. They initially wanted to join our Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but due to certain special reasons, they merged with the Blue Tyrant Academy in the capital, expanding their faculty and thus qualifying for this competition."
The Emperor nodded, not inquiring further about why Shrek Academy's teachers and students hadn't joined the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. He understood that some power struggles must have been involved; otherwise, who would have given up such outstanding geniuses?
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, sitting beside the Emperor, smiled and said, "It seems Shrek Academy is going to shine this time! I'm really looking forward to their performance!" "Sect
Master Ning seems to know quite a bit about Shrek Academy?" the Emperor asked curiously.
"I wouldn't say I know her well. My daughter ran away from home in a fit of pique and happened to join this academy, but she wasn't selected for this competition. It seems she's still lacking something!"
Ning Fengzhi wasn't upset that his daughter wasn't selected; on the contrary, he was even more interested in Shrek Academy.
Knowing his daughter's personality, Ning Rongrong, with her competitive nature, would never give up on such a competition!
The fact that she wasn't on the starting lineup, only a substitute, meant that the other students at Shrek Academy were truly strong!
And the fact that they could tolerate Ning Rongrong's fiery temper showed how powerful Shrek Academy really was!
The Emperor and Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire were stunned upon hearing this. They never imagined that the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's sect leader was a student at Shrek Academy!
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was one of the top three sects, the number one support-type Soul Master sect on the entire continent! The sect produced countless experts, and its disciples were all very strong!
Furthermore, support-type Soul Masters were extremely rare, making the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School a highly respected sect among all major powers!
The fact that Ning Fengzhi was willing to let his daughter join Shrek Academy, a completely unknown academy, indicates that this academy is not as simple as it seems on the surface; its true strength must be beyond imagination!
...
In the preliminary rounds, Ma Hongjun handled everything. His Phoenix Martial Soul had strong attack power and excellent endurance; he could easily take on an entire team by himself. Therefore, Rosen let Ma Hongjun handle everything alone.
Although this took a toll on Ma Hongjun, it brought him immense popularity, and he thoroughly enjoyed the admiring glances from others.
Moreover, the biggest advantage of this approach was that it preserved the strength of the other six members of Shrek Academy, preventing others from figuring out their true abilities.
Thus, under Ma Hongjun's leadership, Shrek Academy advanced smoothly from the preliminary rounds to the qualifying rounds!
