Douluo Continent: Shrek Prince, Getting to the Root of the Matter

Unlike the traditional seven-man team, the second team has three additional substitute spots because there is no reserve team accompanying them.

Therefore, the team consists of seven starting players and three substitutes.

Starting lineup: Yu Wudao, Beibei, Yu Tianlong, Xu Sanshi, Wang Dong, Long Jingni, Nan Qiuqiu.

Substitutes: Ning Tian, ​​Jiang Nannan, Huo Yuhao.

Yu Wudao stood in front of Du Weilun, with Zhang Lexuan standing to his left, and addressed the crowd:

"I believe you all already know why I have gathered you here, so I won't say anything more, but there are a few things I must make clear in advance."

Yu Wudao scanned the crowd below, raised a finger, and continued:

"Firstly, the academy will probably select members for the first team in a couple of days. Those who join the second team will lose the opportunity to join the first team. Those who want to participate in the reserve team selection can withdraw now."

After he finished speaking, none of the nine people below the stage made a move.

Wang Dong, Yu Tianlong, and the others need no further explanation, as Yu Wudao had informed them in advance.

Beibei knew that this competition was a test given to Yu Wudao by the academy, so he would never withdraw voluntarily. In fact, if Yu Wudao did not choose him, he would take the initiative to find an opportunity to join.

Xu Sanshi's only motivation was Jiang Nannan. Since Jiang Nannan chose to stay in the second team to get more opportunities to perform, Xu Sanshi naturally wouldn't leave on his own initiative.

As for Ning Tian, ​​it was entirely to establish a good relationship with Yu Wudao in advance.

"Secondly, regarding all matters concerning the upcoming training and competitions, team members must fully obey the orders of me and the team leader. If anyone has any objections, they can raise them now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the arena fell silent.

Yu Wudao turned to look at Zhang Lexuan, who nodded and took over the conversation.

"In that case, the personnel are confirmed."

Next, we will conduct a practical exercise! There are ten of you in total, divided into two teams of five for the exercise.

"The captaincy... will be handled by Yu Wudao and Long Jingni! Each person will take turns choosing a team member, starting with Long Jingni! Victory or defeat is secondary; the purpose of this training is to familiarize you with each other's teamwork and combat strategies! Understand?"

"clear!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Zhang Lexuan originally wanted to choose Yu Tianlong as another captain, but Lan Dian Tyrant Dragon was too well restrained by Yu Wudao. Although his cultivation was higher, he was definitely no match for Long Jingni when facing Yu Wudao.

Let's begin!

At Zhang Lexuan's command, Long Jingni took the lead in selecting team members.

"Ning Tian!"

She glanced at Yu Wudao with a cold expression.

"I'm bringing a support-type character this time, I refuse to believe I can't beat you in strength!"

Despite having the advantage in cultivation level and possessing the Golden Dragon Martial Soul, known as the ancestor of power, Long Jingni still lost to Yu Wudao in a head-on confrontation, a fact that has always bothered her.

"Xu Sanshi!"

Of the remaining three top combatants, only Xu Sanshi was unaffected by Yu Wudao, so Yu Wudao took him down first, leaving two bombs for Long Jingni.

"Jiang Nannan".

Long Jingni's lips curled up, her eyes filled with laughter, and she looked pleased.

"..."

Yu Wudao glanced at the sycophant beside him—no! He should be called a slut…

"Forget it, I'll just stop thinking..."

He thought about it helplessly, and then started randomly naming people.

"Wang Dong!"

Long Jingni glanced at him with a puzzled look, but did not change her rhythm.

"Jade Heavenly Dragon!"

"Nan Qiuqiu".

As the name was mentioned, Long Jingni gritted her teeth and glanced at Yu Wudao.

"Huo Yuhao!"

"Huo Yuhao...hmm?"

Yu Wudao looked at Long Jingni with suspicion, then changed his words:

"Bebe!"

Beibei walked to Yu Wudao's side with a resentful look on her face, and spoke like a widow who had been widowed for ten years.

"How could my cousin be so despicable?"

With Beibei joining the team, both sides have completed their rosters.

They are the Yu Wudao Team, consisting of Yu Wudao, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Wang Dong, and Nan Qiuqiu, and the Long Jingni Team, consisting of Long Jingni, Yu Tianlong, Jiang Nannan, Ning Tian, ​​and Huo Yuhao.

The two sides were positioned at opposite ends of the arena, with Zhang Lexuan standing in the center as the referee.

"Shrek Team Two, live-fire practice! Both sides, get ready!"

"Battle begins!"

As Zhang Lexuan's right arm swung down heavily, all ten people on the field simultaneously summoned their martial souls. In an instant, soul rings of various colors lit up on the arena, dazzling the eye.

Beibei took the initiative to confront Yu Tianlong, wanting to prove that she was her cousin's number one henchman!

Jiang Nannan and Huo Yuhao blocked Xu Sanshi, Wang Dong and Nan Qiuqiu in front of Ning Tian!

Ning Tian clasped his hands to his chest, and a delicate little tower emitting a glowing light appeared in his palms. He then chanted a soul incantation:

"Seven treasures transform into lapis lazuli, one of which is: power!"

Four beams of light shot out and flew into the bodies of the four members of Long Jingni's team at the same time, instantly boosting their morale by 30%!

Huo Yuhao was not to be outdone, and he activated his mental detection sharing, instantly giving his five teammates a god-like perspective.

Long Jingni's lips curled into a beautiful smile. She stomped her right foot on the arena and, wielding the Golden Dragon Spear, launched her lithe body towards Yu Wudao like a cannonball!

Her first and second soul skills lit up simultaneously, and the two amplification soul skills made her already powerful aura surge even more!

The golden spear tip, spitting out sharp light, shot out like lightning, piercing straight into Yu Wudao's chest!

Yu Wudao's first spirit ring lit up, and he stretched out his right hand, pulling a magnificent battle halberd out of the air. The golden dragon spear swung across the halberd.

The enormous impact forced the two of them to take several steps back.

Yu Wudao looked at the unscathed Ancient Dragon Halberd and felt reassured.

"Just as I thought! I underestimated this divine artifact!"

During his previous battle with Long Jingni, he worried that the Ancient Dragon Halberd was only a prototype of a divine artifact and would not be able to withstand the collision with the Golden Dragon Spear, since the Golden Dragon Spear was considered a powerful artifact.

But after fighting the Soul Emperor assassin with the Ancient Dragon Halberd, he had a new idea!

Just as it yearns for powerful enemies, perhaps the Ancient Dragon Halberd truly desires to fight against a powerful divine artifact!

Meanwhile, Long Jingni counted the distances the two sides had retreated and was shocked to find that even with a 30% power boost, he had only slightly suppressed Yu Wudao before he used his dragon transformation!

Long Jingni exhaled a breath of turbid air, and fine scales emerged from her hands. In a short while, her two delicate palms transformed into ferocious golden dragon claws!

This was the first time she had used her dragon transformation ability in battle. It wasn't that she didn't want to use it in previous battles, but rather that she hadn't been human for very long, and dragon transformation was the most primal and violent power within a dragon soul master! She hadn't been able to fully control this power in battle before.

However, after his defeat last time, Long Jingni worked hard day and night and finally mastered it completely!

Two powerful soul skills, plus a 30% power boost from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and an additional 140% boost from the Golden Dragon Martial Soul's dragon transformation!

She looked at Yu Wudao with piercing eyes!

"Again!"
