Douluo: Trinity, I run through the timeline.

Chapter 190 Shrek Academy is a Misnomer (Please Subscribe!!!)

A fierce battle between dragons and tigers.

The sword energy dragon collided with the tiger-shaped fist energy, creating a dazzling and mesmerizing sight.

The audience was full of praise for the high quality of the match.

This is the purest and most thrilling battle.

Gu Zhujian and Zhang Wei stopped probing each other and charged towards each other, engaging in close combat.

Thunder roared and sword energy surged.

The tiger roared, and its fists shot skyward.

Despite using all his skills, Gu Zhujian could only manage a draw with Zhang Wei.

At this moment, the audience exclaimed in excitement.

Some Soul Masters whose Soul Rings weren't particularly good were thrilled by this scene and wished they could join the fray themselves.

It turns out that even without the optimal spirit ring combination, ordinary spirit masters like us can still fight against opponents of higher levels!

Zhang Wei's generic face made many people identify with him, wishing they were that ordinary young man, with the power of a level 45 Soul Master, facing off against the level 57 Power Attack Battle Soul King, Gu Zhu Jian.

During the battle, Zhang Wei's will became increasingly resilient.

With each collision, his will was tempered, his will grew stronger, and his strength increased visibly.

On this stage where everyone was watching, Zhang Wei's mindset underwent another transformation.

Su Ming was shocked to see this.

To be honest, he thought that Zhang Wei's transformation of will was only that one time before. That transformation was too great, turning Zhang Wei from an ordinary person into an unparalleled genius.

Because Zhang Wei, from the perspective of a native, established the courage to be an enemy of Shrek Academy and to question this mountain that weighs heavily on the Soul Master world.

Now, Su Ming realized that the transformation of will is not only related to courage.

"This transformation did not stimulate his martial soul to awaken a second time. It seems we still have to wait until he breaks through to the Soul King level."

With another leap forward, Zhang Wei became increasingly adept at the battle.

Gu Zhujian gritted his teeth and persevered.

He had barely expended any energy in the previous battle.

However, they were suppressed by Zhang Wei, a Soul Master, to the point that they could not see any hope of victory.

"He unleashed his power beyond his level for so long, yet his soul power still seems inexhaustible!"

Unbeknownst to Gu Zhujian, there were eight fully charged baby bottles inside the soul power booster on Zhang Wei's back. The soul power in the baby bottles, combined with the absorption device made of spirit metal, directly sent the soul power into Zhang Wei's body.

Zhang Wei, with his boundless courage and ability to dissolve all things, digested the soul power of the baby bottle in just a moment.

He already possessed the combat power of a Soul Emperor thanks to the Purple Thunder Sword he made from spirit metal!

Gu Zhujian was unwilling to give up.

Something's wrong with Zhang Wei.

"This is my last sword strike."

Gu Zhujian leaped backward, using his invincible shield to block Zhang Wei's numerous attacks, while simultaneously unleashing his three soul skills.

The third, fourth, and fifth spirit rings shone simultaneously.

Sword energies shot into the sky around his body, and the power of thunder spread outwards.

A domain of thunder swords was thus created.

Finally, he raised the Purple Thunder Sword high, drawing upon all the thunderous power within the domain, transforming it into sword light and unleashing a strike.

"Tiger Soul Fist!"

Despite facing the sword, Zhang Wei still threw a punch with unwavering resolve.

boom!
One punch isn't enough.

Come again!

Come again!

Zhang Wei seemed oblivious to the corrosive power of the dissipating lightning on his body, and to the sharp sword energy cutting through his flesh; he simply kept throwing punches.

The lightning dissipated, and Gu Zhu Sword smiled.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

They still managed to defeat this mere Soul Master. As Zhang Wei fell, the Lone Bamboo Sword also collapsed.

"Zhang Wei and Guzhu Sword are eliminated. The Douling team has been completely defeated. The Sun and Moon Royal team wins this match."

Su Ming went up on stage and took Zhang Wei off the stage, preparing to hand him over to the team's healing-type Soul Master for treatment.

"No need, leave him to me."

A familiar voice sounded.

Su Ming looked in surprise at the eight-armed elder who had somehow arrived at the preparation area.

"Elder Eight Arms, how did you get in?"

"Hehe, I am the honorary president of the Blacksmiths Association."

Over the past year, Eight-Armed had secured a position at the Forging Masters Association.

With this identity, even if he wasn't a participant, he still entered the preparation area.

"I'll take care of Zhang Wei."

As he spoke, the Eight-Armed Elder grabbed Zhang Wei and quickly led him away from the square.

"Su Ming, can Zhang Wei still participate?"

Will I be taken away by this eight-armed elder and never come back?
"Don't worry, Elder Ma. Elder Babi is probably going to take Zhang Wei as his disciple. He will probably teach him some things during this period of time."

Old Ma breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Wei's performance today was a big surprise for him; he didn't expect there was still room for improvement.

He can now be used as a Soul Emperor!

The only downside is that Zhang Wei's abilities have already been exposed, and his abilities are still limited, so he will probably be targeted as a future threat.

"I want to know why Zhang Wei was fired."

In the Shrek Academy's preparation area, Wang Yan's face was grim, and he couldn't help but growl.

Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and the other soldiers trained by Zhou Yi remained silent, not daring to utter a word.

Zhang Wei's performance was outstanding, a Soul Master battling a Soul King.

"I will report back to my superiors when I return this time," Wang Yan said, taking a deep breath.

If Shrek Academy can't even unlock the abilities of Soul Masters and just dismisses them like trash, then what's the point of Shrek Academy?

Raising monsters?

It was a monster to begin with, did you create it?

They have potential, but no matter how much you try to cultivate it, if the student can't discover it themselves, they'll be expelled.

What's the point of people joining the academy then?

Has it really become a social occasion for meeting all kinds of geniuses?
This is what Wang Yan finds most tragic.

If this continues and this trend is allowed to grow, Shrek Academy will truly be an empty shell, living up to its name.

The round-robin tournament has a total of eight groups, with four groups playing each day, one round every two days. Then, each group has four matches. The group where Sun and Moon Royal Team is located has nine teams, and the tournament will last for about nine rounds, or eighteen days.

Of course, after seven rounds, that is, after fourteen days, there will only be three groups left, so the round-robin tournament can be completed on the morning of the sixteenth day, which will not take eighteen days.

In their second match, the Sun Moon Royal Team faced a Soul Master Academy from the Sun Moon Empire.

The same order of appearance, basically the same outcome: without revealing much about their abilities, the Sun & Moon Royal team won.

That's right, it's still an individual elimination tournament.

The third match changed to a 2-2-3 cooperative battle mode.

After failing to probe the situation of the seven members of the Sun and Moon Royal Team in two consecutive individual elimination matches, Xu Jiawei decisively changed his strategy.

Unfortunately, he didn't get to learn more about the 223 cooperative battle, because the "3" in 223 didn't even need to be compared, and the Sun and Moon Royal Team won.

The fourth match was a team battle, seven against seven.

The players who participated in this match were Ma Rulong, Mi Jia, Chen Fei, Xiao Hongchen, Zhang Wei, Xiao Xiafeng, and Lin Xi.

Xiao Xiafeng and Lin Xi are both official team members. Xiao Xiafeng is a food-type soul master, while Lin Xi is a defensive-type soul master.

Their appearance on stage only revealed this little bit of information.

"This can't go on. All we know right now is that Zhang Wei has a soul tool made of spirit metal, but we haven't found out anything yet." Xu Jiawei became anxious.
