Wuhun Luo Sanpao? I am the Dragon Emperor!

Chapter 267 Preliminary Round 1: Shrek's Revenge

Teams from various colleges entered the venue in an orderly fashion under the guidance of staff, their colorful school uniforms mingling in the sunlight.

Tianshui College was the first to enter.

The uniform light blue dresses swayed gently in the wind, resembling a flowing lake.

There were ten people in total, each stepping in unison, their carefully designed combat boots faintly visible through the fluttering skirts.

"Look, it's Blazing Fire Academy!"

With a gasp, the fiery red procession swept in like flames.

Huo Wu walked at the front, her fiery red short hair like dancing flames, her long legs striding with confidence.

Behind her followed eight team members, each radiating a scorching aura.

As they passed Tianshui College, the eyes of the two teams collided in the air, sparking subtle flashes of energy.

Next, Kamikaze Academy entered.

Feng Xiaotian's team moved like a gust of wind, their neat light blue cloaks fluttering behind them.

Their steps were so light that they seemed not to touch the ground, and even their walking had the unique elegance of wind-attribute soul masters.

Feng Xiaotian wore his signature roguish smile and waved to the audience from time to time.

Teams entered one after another, accompanied by cheers.

until--

"Next up is the Shrek Academy team from Grayrock Academy!"

The host's booming voice echoed throughout the venue, but only garnered sporadic applause.

Dai Mubai walked at the front with a livid face.

Behind him, the Shrek students' drab school uniforms looked particularly shabby among the many bright and stylish groups.

Oscar pursed his lips and muttered under his breath, "We used to be the center of attention every time we appeared, but now..."

Ma Hongjun said with dissatisfaction, "If Dean Flander were still alive, our appearance would at least be glamorous!"

Dai Mubai snorted coldly, a hint of resentment flashing in his evil eyes.

Ning Rongrong lowered her head. As a treasure of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, when had she ever been treated with such coldness?

Xiao Wu glared angrily at the audience who were pointing and whispering about them, her big pink eyes filled with resentment.

Tang San walked at the back of the group, his gaze calmly sweeping across the audience.

Such a scene had no effect on him, who had lived two lives.

Just then, the atmosphere in the arena suddenly became heated.

"Blue Tyrant Academy! It's Blue Tyrant Academy!"

The cheers swept across the entire Great Soul Arena like a tsunami, and even the arena seemed to tremble in the sound waves.

Yu Tianheng led the Dragon Cub team and several students from Blue Tyrant Academy into the arena. Their dark blue school uniforms, embroidered with silver dragon patterns, shone brightly in the sunlight.

The group of more than ten people moved in unison, each with a calm and confident expression on their face.

Yu Tianlin walked in second place, with a pair of sharp eyes beneath his short, dark blue hair.

Shui Bing'er followed behind him, her long, icy blue hair fluttering in the wind.

The entire team exuded a suffocating sense of oppression, as if they weren't there to compete, but rather to inspect their own territory.

The cheers from the audience lasted for a long time, and countless people stood up and waved their arms.

Even students from other academies couldn't help but cast a look of awe at him.

On the platform, Emperor Xueye smiled and nodded to the entering group.

To his left sat Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall, his sinister gaze sweeping across the audience.

On the right is Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, who always wears a gentle smile.

Beside Ning Fengzhi, an unexpected figure sparked discussion: Yu Xiaozhen of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

"I knew it! Now the Empire is finally recognizing the Blue Lightning Sect's status. In previous years, when was there ever a seat for the Blue Lightning Sect?"

"But it doesn't seem to be the sect leader or His Majesty the Dragon God who has come..."

"Hey, true masters are mysterious and don't show themselves easily, that's normal!"

"..."

Below the stage, Yu Luomian stared intently at Yu Xiaozhen on the podium, her nails digging deeply into her palms.

That position should have been his...

"Please, Emperor Xueye, give a speech for the competition!"

The host's voice drew everyone's attention back.

Emperor Xueye rose to his feet, his majestic gaze sweeping across the entire hall.

"The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition is a stage to showcase the teaching achievements of each academy and an opportunity for young soul masters to prove themselves."

His voice was deep and powerful, carrying with it to every corner with the aid of the soul tool: "I hope everyone will uphold the spirit of 'friendship first, competition second,' and compete with style and skill! Now I declare the competition officially open!"

Amidst the booming cannons and enthusiastic applause, representatives from each academy stepped forward to draw lots. Dai Mubai strode towards the drawing table, returning with a strange expression on his face.

"Our first opponent is..."

He paused, a cold smile playing on his lips, "The second team of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy."

The Shrek members were stunned at first, then their eyes blazed with fury.

Dai Mubai's fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and Ma Hongjun jumped up: "Great! They were the ones who kicked us out back then! Now it's time for revenge."

Tang San also showed a satisfied expression.

Soon, the first round of the preliminary rounds officially began.

As the referee blew his whistle, the Shrek Seven Devils and the second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy stepped onto the arena at the same time.

"Both sides bow!"

The members of Team Tiandou 2 bowed perfunctorily, their eyes full of disdain.

This is understandable, as in their view, Gray Rock Academy, an obscure third-rate academy, is not worthy of being their opponent.

"Game start!"

As soon as the referee gave the order, the members of the Heaven Dou Second Team immediately released their martial spirits, all of them equipped with the best spirit rings, showcasing the strength of the Royal Academy.

But ultimately, they were the reserve second team, and the highest soul power level they had was only the captain, who had reached level 34.

"on!"

At Dai Mubai's command, the Shrek Seven Devils instantly dispersed.

Tang San stood in the center of the group, his eyes flashing with purple light.

Although his soul power has only recovered to level 30, the Nine Techniques of Haotian he has practiced and the rock-cracked arm bone have given him enough confidence.

He seized the opportunity first, and the first spirit ring of Blue Silver Grass lit up beneath his feet.

"First Soul Skill: Entanglement!"

Before the captain of the Tiandou Second Team could react, he was completely bound.

At the same time, a pink figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"First Soul Skill: Waist Bow!"

Xiao Wu's long, slender right leg shot straight for the opponent's face with a whooshing sound.

Then, with a beautiful over-the-shoulder throw, he was slammed heavily to the ground.

On the other side, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun also found their own opponents.

Dai Mubai unleashed a tiger claw strike, blasting a member of the Heaven Dou team off the stage.

Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire Phoenix drew a fiery line in the air, and the scorching flames forced the two Tian Dou team members to retreat repeatedly.

At this moment, Ning Rongrong's clear voice rang out: "Seven treasures swirl forth with crystal! First, power; second, speed!"

As the seven-colored light precisely enveloped the Shrek team, their attack became even more ferocious.

The battle was one-sided.

One by one, the members of the Tiandou Second Team fell, their screams echoing throughout the room.

Tang San stood in the center of the arena, calmly controlling the rhythm of the battle.

"The third soul skill: Spider Web Binding!"

The last member of the Tian Dou team was wrapped up like a dumpling by the Blue Silver Grass and fell heavily to the ground.

Dai Mubai stepped forward and seized the opportunity to deliver a powerful punch.

"This punch was for the reason we were expelled from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

Before he could finish speaking, he punched the other man in the stomach.

With the blessing of the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, terrifying power erupted instantly. The team member spat out a mouthful of blood, slid back more than ten meters like a rag doll, and immediately fainted.

Ma Hongjun and Zhu Zhuqing followed suit, but they were much "gentler" than Dai Mubai.

The entire audience was silent.

The seven members of the Tiandou Second Team lay sprawled on the ground, some with their arms twisted at bizarre angles, some with their faces covered in blood, and the worst off was one with a sunken sternum, barely breathing.

"Grey Rock Academy wins!"

The referee was stunned for a while before announcing the result.

The teachers from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy rushed onto the arena, pointing at the Shrek Academy students and roaring, "They're just venting their anger! This is murder! What kind of competition is this? They win and then beat each other to death?!"

Tang San calmly looked at the referee: "Respected referee, may I ask, are they dead?"

The referee quickly checked the most seriously injured players, and although they looked terrible, they were indeed still alive.

According to the rules of the competition, if no one dies, it is not considered a foul.

He hesitated for a moment, then announced, "The result is valid; Gray Rock Academy wins."

P.S.: I just finished writing the most whimsical part of Shrek's story, the cycle of karma, and I'm about to tear them apart.
