Douluo: Yu Hao Pan Tang San

Chapter 214, Section 233: Spark and Shrek
Is this team from a dubious academy, or is it just another variable?

Tang San and the others all turned their gazes to the other side of the arena, where four men and three women appeared to be slightly older than them. Their soul power was concealed, making it impossible to discern its depth. Considering that their strength was basically at the Soul Venerable level, they must have some means of concealing their aura.

Adhering to Shrek's code of conduct that those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre, Dai Mubai went up and whistled, saying sarcastically, "Hello, Starfire Team of Starfire Academy. Please forgive my ignorance, but I have never heard of such an academy on the continent. Is this some kind of shady academy?"

Captain Mu Yuanfang said, "To say that Xinghuo Academy is a diploma mill, I'd like to ask you, as someone from Shrek Academy, whether this academy has been properly registered and whether it can participate in the Soul Master Competition. If not, then I'd like to ask you, is Shrek Academy also a diploma mill?"

Dai Mubai's expression darkened. Although he had changed a lot since his rebirth, there was one thing he had never changed: the glory of Shrek Academy. As one of the original Seven Devils, how could he allow others to humiliate Shrek Academy?

Dai Mubai said fiercely, "Shrek Academy is unknown now, but soon, its name will be known throughout the entire Douluo Continent. You'll understand when the competition starts."

“I will return the same words to you, and the same applies to Starfire Academy,” Mu Yuanfang said.

"Then let's see who's the best," Dai Mubai said.

After the two finished speaking, they returned to their respective teams. The host, holding the microphone, said, "Oh, the two teams almost sparked a battle as soon as they met. It's clear that tonight's Soul Battle Tournament is destined to be intense."

"Attention both sides, you have one minute to activate your Martial Soul. After one minute, the Soul Battle will officially begin." With that, the host flapped his wings and left the arena.

"Let these lowly bastards take a good look at our Martial Souls," Dai Mubai said.

After saying that, the Shrek Seven Devils activated their martial souls one by one. The martial souls of the Shrek team can be described as top-notch.

Sausage, Evil Fire Phoenix, and White Tiger are all top-tier martial souls.

Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Yu Tianheng's Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, and if we include the Clear Sky Hammer spirit that Tang San hid, Shrek Academy's team can be said to have gathered all the spirits of the three old sects.

Erming's martial soul is the Titan Giant Ape, which possesses the bloodline of a divine beast.

The Seven Devils' current soul ring configuration is based on the standard age of their martial souls, so they are all yellow and purple.

Compared to the Shrek Seven Devils' flamboyant actions, the Starfire Team's activation of their Martial Souls was much more low-key, but—

When Luo Xingqi opened his hands, a glazed pagoda appeared in his palms, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda had two more layers than before. Ning Rongrong was the first to be stunned.

When a hammer wreathed in Gengjin light appeared in Mu Yuanfang's hand, Tang San was stunned.

When Lin Chen stretched out his arms and his body emitted a dragon's roar, and a giant thunder dragon possessed him in dragon form, Yu Tianheng was stunned.

When Ye Qingmei activated her martial soul, a Netherworld Cat appeared behind her. Dai Mubai was stunned the moment he recognized the Netherworld Cat.

Their appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention. The angels that enveloped the arena in holy light, the bone dragons that eroded space, and the emerald angels that released support and healing radiance—all these things made it clear that this team was no ordinary one.

What's even more terrifying is that all of their spirit rings are purple.

The three purple spirit rings, the last of which was clearly at least seven or eight thousand years old, caused the two people in the audience to break down first.

Flander, his face contorted with grief, exclaimed, "No, my money! Where did this incredibly powerful team come from?!"

Beside Flander, Yu Xiaogang reached out and grabbed the crew-cut man tightly, his face full of disbelief: "Three, three thousand-year soul rings are impossible, absolutely impossible. This doesn't fit my theory. It's fake, it must be fake, right?"

Yu Xiaogang turned and grabbed Flander's body, pressing him for an answer: "Tell me, their spirit rings are fake, right?"

Flander snapped out of his shock at losing the money and then examined it carefully again, discovering that their spirit rings were indeed genuine.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Gang, I've let you down," Flander said painfully.

"If that's true, doesn't that mean there are still soul rings in this world that allow soul masters to absorb beyond their limits?" Yu Xiaogang said incredulously.

"That should be the case." Flander looked at the seven members of the Starfire Team and said with a pained expression, "The opponent's martial soul configuration is probably not simple. If Xiao Wu can play, our Shrek team will still have a fighting chance. But now, well, we can only hope that our little monsters can create a miracle."

Ning Rongrong pointed at Luo Xingqi first and asked, "How do you have the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda? What is your relationship with the Seven Treasures Ning Family?"

Luo Xingqi replied, "I have no connection with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"Then why did you obtain the Seven Treasures—no, the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda?" Ning Rongrong questioned.

"Does having the Nine-Treasure Glazed Pagoda automatically make me a member of the Ning family?" Luo Xingqi countered.

“Isn’t that right?” Ning Rongrong said.

Yu Tianheng, Tang San, and Dai Mubai also realized what was happening, so before the match even started, Shrek Academy launched a series of questions.

"Where did you get your Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex martial soul?"

"The Netherworld Cat Martial Soul? What is your relationship with Duke Xingluo Netherworld?"

"Why do you possess the Clear Sky Hammer spirit?" Tang San questioned, disregarding everything else. (Xiao Wu, watching from below, couldn't help but prick up her ears. Her enemies shared two main characteristics: the Clear Sky Hammer spirit and the name Tang Hao. Therefore, she was extremely sensitive to the Clear Sky Hammer. Mu Yuanfang's possession of it naturally caught her attention, and Tang San's question also aroused her suspicion. Tang San, a peasant from Holy Soul Village, whose spirit was only Blue Silver Grass, how did he know it was the Clear Sky Hammer?)

Faced with numerous questions from Shrek Academy, Mu Yuanfang chuckled and said, "We have no obligation to answer these questions. You just need to know one thing: we have absolutely no connection with you."

Ning Rongrong frowned as she looked at the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in Luo Xingqi's palm. She had only heard of this martial spirit in the sect's historical records, but she never expected that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, which her father had been pursuing for so long, would now appear in the hands of someone who was not a member of the Ning family.

Ning Rongrong decided that after the competition ended, she would immediately notify her family to investigate Luo Xingqi's background, and if possible, to bring her under the control of the sect.
