Douluo Continent II: You're an evil spirit master, but also a philanthropist?

Only if Jing Hongchen were here would everyone have the confidence to stand firm.

Xu Cheng smiled, seeing that everyone was stunned, and said no more.

Fortunately, Xiao didn't know about the existence of the mechs and missiles, otherwise he probably would have started a fight on the spot.

He's hoping this year will bring Shrek's reputation to a pulp.

After all, whether there will even be a next continent-wide Soul Master Academy Tournament is still uncertain. Maybe it will just be called the Sun Moon Continent Academy Tournament by then, which would be so boring...

……

Return to the room.

Hyotei sighed in the Sea of ​​Spirit.

"The speed of human development has indeed far exceeded my imagination. A single iron box actually has the power to wipe out soul beasts that are fifty or sixty thousand years old, or even stronger. Tianmeng, do you think that if this continues, soul beasts will be completely wiped out?"

"This... I don't know." Tianmeng shook her head, somewhat bewildered.

"Yes, if this continues, the extinction of soul beasts is only a matter of time," Xu Cheng sighed.

The beginning of Douluo Continent III is a scene where the Lake of Life is almost dried up, the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest are driven to the brink of despair by humans, and Gu Yuena has no choice but to be born.

"Acheng, you are human..." Hyotei asked in surprise.

"It is only humans who truly understand the greed in human nature," Xu Cheng remarked.

"But as I said before, technology and soul tools are meant to benefit all things. While aiming for the stars and the sea, we should not lose sight of our original intentions."

Speaking of which, most of the soul beasts in Douluo Continent are conservative.

Whether in the far north, the Star Dou Great Forest, or the deep sea, all the soul beasts live in seclusion, leading a stable, self-sufficient life. The Star Dou Great Forest has been almost completely exploited by the neighboring countries, yet it still just endures and tolerates the situation.

The fact that the Body Sect only hunted down a dozen or so hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts, such an offense, only resulted in a beast tide...

Evil humans.

……

The next day.

Star Luo Empire Plaza.

The crowds were still huge, and seemed even more enthusiastic than in the previous days.

Today is the first day of the round of 16 advancing to the quarterfinals.

It will last for four days, with four matches each day.

Those who can squeeze into it are all true "golden teams". Even the reserve team members are geniuses who are one in ten thousand. In addition, on the first day, Shrek Academy, as the number one for ten thousand years, will naturally make its first appearance.

This is incredibly exciting!

rest area.

"I'm itching to run into Shrek Academy."

Xiao Hongchen looked as if lice were crawling all over his body, his face full of excitement.

“Even if we encounter them, it will be a tough battle,” Ma Rulong said seriously. “After treatment last night, both Soul Emperors will definitely be able to play. Add to that the Soul King, the recovered Three Soul Sect Master, and the Soul Venerable. Although they are Shrek Academy’s reserve team, Xu Sanshi’s Xuanming Replacement and Bei Bei’s Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex are comparable to ordinary Soul Kings. He Caitou’s soul tool is not as good as ours, but that… Cigar has a strong recovery effect. Even Xia Feng is slightly inferior.”

Chapter 104 Round of 16 to Round of 8: Sun Moon Empire vs. Shrek Academy

Xu Cheng nodded.

Ma Rulong is right, after all, they are the main characters from the original work.

With top-tier talent and the addition of Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng after their recovery, this team should easily advance to the finals as long as they don't run into the Sun and Moon team.

Soon, Old Ma returned from the draw, his face a mixture of excitement and worry.

"Shrek?"

Xu Cheng asked calmly.

"Ah."

Mr. Ma nodded emphatically.

not far away.

Shrek rest area.

Ma Xiaotao glanced at Xu Cheng with a defiant look on her face, then parted her red lips and uttered a few words.

"Just wait to die..."

Clearly, Wang Yan, who had just finished the draw, had also informed them of the news.

Xu Cheng smiled helplessly. It seemed that his strength had been restored and his confidence had returned.

He believed that while the Star Luo Empire was healing Ma Xiaotao, they might also be thinking of killing him. After all, death was allowed on the field, and dying in battle was better than them ultimately sparing him.

Xuanzi wasn't in the crowd, but he was probably somewhere watching him with a sinister gaze.

Shrek rest area.

Wang Yan said solemnly.

"The people from the Sun Moon Empire who haven't shown up yet include Captain Ma Rulong and Xiao Hongchen. In other words, their trump cards are far more than just Xu Cheng. In fact, we've learned that Xu Cheng's martial soul isn't just Blood Eye; he has twins, and the other one is of the Sun Moon Empire's royal bloodline, the Sun."

"Tch, Sister Wu Ming's martial spirit is the Golden Crow, how dare she challenge a mere sun?" Ma Xiaotao sneered.

“…” Wang Yan sighed helplessly.

Tired.

But we still need to give them the necessary reminders.

"In this match against the Sun Moon Empire, we should ideally win the team fight. Even if we can't win, we should at least play it well so that we can pull off some impressive plays in the subsequent individual matches, which will give me a chance to play the victim on stage..."

"Stop rambling and just tell me the tactics," Ma Xiaotao said impatiently.

She was so eager to see the enemy suffer a bloodbath.

“Although Ma Rulong is very strong, Xu Cheng should not be underestimated. I have a feeling that he is the strongest in this team. As soon as the team battle starts, San Shi will replace him, and Xiao Tao and Yue Heng will deal damage and take him down first…” Wang Yan said seriously.

"..."

……

Soon, the referee announced the draw results.

When the first match occurs.

The entire stadium erupted in cheers.

"Shrek will win!"

"Crush everything!"

"..."

The perennial number one versus the perennial number two, especially in the round of 16.

No matter which one is eliminated, it will be a huge upset!

Those with inside information, especially after learning what happened at the Star Luo Auction House last night, were even willing to risk their entire fortunes to bet on Shrek.

On one side of the Sun and Moon Empire.

"Who will be fighting this time?" Xiao Hongchen asked impatiently.

Ma Rulong pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness, the seven of us—me, you, Meng Hongchen, Ji Juechen, Xiao Xiafeng, and Lin Xi—should be considered the strongest combination."

"Fine, I'll make those guys cry later!" Lin Xi said angrily.

Clearly, Shrek has started to show their true colors.

Mr. Ma was a little nervous.

How come these two Soul Emperors weren't crippled in the Mingdou Mountains? They were Soul Emperors from Shrek Academy, level 68, enough to rival a level 7 Soul Master.

It's better to be safe than sorry. If we win, great, but if we lose...

Given Shrek's personality, they'd want the whole world to know that their Shrek remnant team defeated the entire Sun Moon Empire team, truly earning them a place on the pillar of shame.

"Little girl, you have twin martial souls, that's pretty strong." Xiao Hongchen looked at Xiao Xiao with a victor's smile.

The little girl was a great help in the early episodes of Shrek.

A combination of a tripod and a flute is even more useful than the White Tiger combination.

But... that's the end of it!

"Who are you, uncle?" Wang Dong couldn't stand seeing her best friend being mocked, so she stood up without hesitation.

"M-Uncle?" Xiao Hongchen stared in disbelief, pointing at himself. "Are you calling me?"

Wang Dong, the young boy, said with an innocent and carefree expression, "Of course, uncle! Are there any other people here who are older than you?"

Xiao Hongchen scratched his head and asked, "Dream, am I really that old?"

Meng Hongchen smiled without saying a word.

The tense atmosphere eased somewhat.
