Chapter 168: Knockout Round Reserve Team (Thanks for your monthly vote)
After the punishment session ended, Ma Xiaotao immediately asked, "Was that your martial soul fusion skill just now?"

As soon as these words were spoken, several people in the inner courtyard looked at Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong at the same time. It was no wonder that they were curious. This martial soul fusion technique looked comparable to Mu Ran and Ma Xiaotao's Song of Ice and Fire, and its power was also somewhat special.

Wang Dong raised his little face and said proudly: "Of course, how about it, not bad!"

"That's more than good. Tell it quickly so that the seniors can hear it." Gong Yang Mo said.

"Yuhao, come here."

Huo Yuhao smiled innocently and said, "We named this martial soul fusion skill the Withered Golden Road in the Brilliance—"

Before he could finish his words, Gong Yangmo interrupted and said, "What a nice name! Mu Ran, look at him!"

Mu Ran rolled his eyes at him and motioned for Huo Yuhao to continue.

"Wang Dong's Light Goddess Butterfly Martial Soul and my Spirit Eye Martial Soul have merged. The light emitted has a very strong restrictive ability and also has the ability to deprive the Martial Soul."

"Not bad, this martial soul fusion technique is very powerful, and it is mainly based on control." Ma Xiaotao praised.

Everyone continued to talk about the game that had just happened.

After a long while, Master Xuan said impatiently: "Enough of the chattering, come over for training, come quickly."

Elder Xuan's training was very arbitrary and without any rules. After more than twenty days of torture by Elder Xuan, everyone set off on the road to Xingluo City.

Xingluo City is bustling and noisy everywhere, but the busiest place is Xingluo Square.

Today is the first day of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition. Contestants from all the academies are now gathered in Xingluo Square, but there is one team that is a bit special, it is the Shrek Academy team.

Shrek Academy’s participating team consists of twelve people, and seven of the twelve are obviously very young.

Ma Rulong frowned slightly as he looked at Shrek's team. He was quite familiar with Shrek's regular players. If he remembered correctly, the regular team should be missing a quick attack spirit master and a strong attack spirit master. Both of them were very capable, so why didn't they show up today?

At the back of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team, a young girl with delicate features had been staring at the man with long ice-blue hair at the front of the Shrek Academy team, her eyes unconsciously becoming a little dazed.

"Meng Hongchen, you've had enough!" The person next to her waved her hand in front of her.

This is a pair of extremely slender and white hands, with a jade-like color that is hard to find even for girls. He has a delicate face, a pair of big blue eyes that are very bright, and a slender and upright figure.

"Hey, brother, don't block me from enjoying the beautiful scenery." Meng Hongchen slapped Xiao Hongchen's hand away.

"Appreciate the beautiful scenery?" Xiao Hongchen's tone was full of doubts, "I think you are a nymphomaniac."

Xiao Hongchen's words received no response, and Meng Hongchen simply ignored him.

Xiao Hongchen looked at the tall figure, his eyes full of eagerness. In his opinion, Mu Ran was a genius of the same level as him, and was worthy of his attention.

Mu Ran didn't know that someone was paying attention to him, and he was in a bad mood at the moment.

On the way to Xingluo City, an accident happened to the group.

Everyone received the mission from the academy, and on the way they dealt with the Death Hand bandit gang. The strongest member of this bandit gang was only a Five-Ring Soul King.

This was an extremely simple mission, but something unexpected happened. No one had expected that a five-ring evil spirit master could actually have the ability to cause corpse explosions.

There were so many bodies in the cave, and the impact of the explosion was huge. The first team members were the regular team members, and the reserve team members were behind them.

In an emergency, Mu Ran was anxious to protect the members of the reserve team and did not take care of the regular team members. Fortunately, the reserve team members were fine. The regular team members Xixi and Chen Zifeng were seriously injured, and the rest of the team suffered minor injuries.

When Mr. Xuan arrived, everyone was already injured.

The sixth soul skill of Mu Ran’s Snow Lotus Martial Soul is the Healing Lotus. He treated the injured person on the spot.

The few people who were slightly injured have almost recovered, but the seriously injured Xixi and Chen Zifeng only had their surface injuries healed, and their internal recovery was very slow.

Xixi and Chen Zifeng were unwilling to go back to the academy and insisted on coming over. They are currently recovering from their injuries in the hotel and will not play until they are almost healed.

Mu Ran felt very guilty about this matter. All his teammates had never been hurt like this before, but this time he failed to protect his teammates, so it was his fault.

While Mu Ran was deep in thought, the emperor of the Xing Luo Empire had finished his speech and the host announced that the competition was about to begin.

The atmosphere in the entire Xingluo Square suddenly reached its peak. "Shrek, Shrek, Shrek..." The voices calling out to Shrek Academy echoed in almost every corner of the square.

Faced with this situation, the seven reserve players who were about to play were dumbfounded. This was the first time they had encountered such a situation. For a moment, everyone's face looked a little pale. Yes, it was the seven reserve players who were going to play. This was Mu Ran's decision, and everyone, including Wang Yan, agreed.

"Don't panic, everyone. Five years ago, our academy also sent a reserve team to play. At that time, I was as panicked as you, but please remember that our opponents will be more panicked. The reason I let you play is to train you. You will have to go through these things sooner or later. The most important thing is to keep a calm mind." Mu Ran's voice was clearly heard by everyone.

Ma Xiaotao immediately said, "The captain is right. These cheers are for us. They are the glory of Shrek Academy. Don't think about winning or losing when you get on stage. Just do your best."

"Yuhao, come here."

Huo Yuhao walked to Mu Ran’s side. Mu Ran whispered something in his ear and Huo Yuhao nodded to show that he understood.

"Huo Yuhao, what did the captain say to you?" Wang Dong asked curiously.

Huo Yuhao chuckled, "I won't tell you now, but you will understand when we get on stage. I think it will be very interesting. Remember to stay close to me on the stage."

Wang Dong frowned, what are you doing, so mysterious?

"Junior brother, stop chatting there, it's our turn to go on stage." Beibei urged.

"I'm coming."

Seeing that Shrek Academy sent out such a young lineup, the people watching the game couldn't help but be stunned. Is this the Shrek Academy reserve team? But this is a knockout match! Aren't they afraid?

Ma Rulong pursed his lips tightly and continued, "Shrek is really confident. He was like this five years ago, and he is still like this five years later."

Xiao Hongchen said at the side: "Captain, could it be that they have produced another genius like Mu Ran?"

"It's possible." Ma Rulong nodded.

The Emperor of Xingluo Empire was all smiles: "I've heard that the team that played in the knockout match of Shrek Academy five years ago was the reserve team, and five years later it was still the reserve team. Shrek's geniuses are endless!"

The referee sent by the Xingluo Empire has arrived and made a gesture for both sides to come forward.

On the other side, the team from Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy was also confused. They didn’t understand what Shrek was going to do. No matter how strong Shrek was, they couldn’t just send the reserve team into the field. Could it be that they looked down on them?
No matter what the contestants from Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy thought, the competition was about to begin.

The referee said solemnly: "The first round, elimination round, team battle. Both sides can use most soul guides to compete. But during the battle, if one side admits defeat, the other side cannot continue to attack. Soul guides cannot use high-lethality equipment such as fixed-type soul guides to fight. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" everyone said loudly.

The referee standing in the center of the field slowly raised his right hand. When the referee raised his hand, 108 metal pillars shone brightly at the same time. Suddenly, when all 108 rays of light gathered together, they enveloped the entire competition stage.

"The game begins!" The referee lowered his right hand.
