The top floor of the Star Emperor Hotel houses the Shrek Academy's private meeting room.

Zhang Mo, with a cigar made by He Caitou dangling from his mouth, frowned as he listened to Wang Yan beside him enthusiastically describing their opponent in the next match.

Sigh, Old Wang is a good person in every way, except that he's too cautious.

The day Ling Luochen recovered and returned to the team, he was visibly more relaxed. But after advancing from the round-robin tournament, Wang Yan reverted to his cautious self, as if one wrong move could lead to total defeat.

"Zhang Mo, say something. Douling Royal Academy is a veteran team."

"Oh, I have this..."

"Knock knock—"

Zhang Mo was wondering what to say when there was a knock on the conference room door. He quickly got up.

"I'll go open the door."

Zhang Mo opened the conference room door and asked, "Who is it?"

The person who arrived was the auctioneer from the last auction that Wang Yan took his students to. I wonder how powerful the influence behind him is, that he delivered the invitation to tonight's top auction here.

Zhang Mo also remembered this auction at this moment.

So the war council was turned into an auction-style outing to relax everyone.

Zhang Mo casually made up an excuse and refused to go to the auction again.

As night fell, the Shrek members, dressed in ordinary clothes, set off for the Starlight Auction House under the guidance of the auctioneer.

After everyone left, Zhang Mo put on a black outfit to conceal his appearance and then left the hotel.

I casually bought a bunch of white lilies by the roadside, and after asking passersby for directions, I arrived at the gate of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

But this wasn't his destination. He turned away and took a long detour to the back mountain of the White Tiger Duke's mansion.

Zhang Mo slowly climbed up the back mountain, which was overgrown with weeds, indicating that it was not usually visited by many people.

He lowered his head and searched slowly, and soon found his destination.

It was a thin wooden board with the words "Tomb of my mother Huo Yun'er" crookedly carved on it.

Zhang Mo bent down and placed the flowers in front of the grave, offering a simple bow.

"See you in the near future, but I hope you'll be free then, and not being used by someone to hold your own son hostage."

……

three days later.

The first day of the elimination rounds of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament.

The Shrek Academy match is this morning.

Wang Yan and Zhang Mo led their students to the competition venue.

Starting from the knockout stage, Shrek Academy will field all of its regular players: Dai Yueheng, Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen, and Ye Guyi.

The remaining three spots were contested by the pre-selected players, and the lineup for this match was Zhang Mo, Huo Yuhao, and Wang Dong.

"Shrek will win!" The seven people shouted, their hands clasped together.

The seven then took turns climbing the competition platform.

As the captain of Shrek Academy's reserve team in the previous Soul Fighting Tournament, and also as the son of a duke of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Yueheng enjoyed immense prestige for a time.

Many people in the stands, including young and beautiful girls, were shouting his name.

Dai Yueheng naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity to show off, so he boldly greeted the captain of the Douling team.

"Long time no see, Guzhu Sword."

Gu Zhujian, captain of this year's Douling team. Level 57, a powerful attack-type Soul King.

He appeared in the previous season as a reserve member of the Douling team, so he should have met Dai Yueheng a few times.

"It has indeed been a long time. I hope to have a friendly exchange with Shrek Academy." Gu Zhu Jian was neither humble nor arrogant. He exchanged a few simple pleasantries with Dai Yueheng, displaying the composure of a veteran team, completely unlike the idiots from Changning Academy.

The referee raised his arm.

"The match begins!"

Both sides' students released their martial spirits immediately.

A golden light flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes, and a terrifying combination of two purple, two black, and two red spirit rings reappeared behind him.

Mental detection sharing!

After simulating the soul skill, Huo Yuhao was the first to apply it to everyone. Then, together with Wang Dong, they used Hao Dong's power to imbue Ling Luochen with the ultimate ice attribute.

Ling Luochen's spirit rings shone brightly behind him, and he held an ice staff in his hand.

"Watch out for the enemy's main control Soul Master!"

Seeing Ling Luochen unleash his martial spirit, Gu Zhujian immediately shouted a warning to his team members.

The ice duo of Ling Luochen and Huo Yuhao left a deep impression on all the academies during the final few matches of the round-robin tournament.

The ultimate in domineering ice and unparalleled control.

However, Gu Zhujian, as a powerful offensive Soul Master, was strangely standing in the middle of the group.

In a normal Soul Master team battle formation, the main control Soul Master usually stands in the middle of the team, while the offensive Soul Master usually stands at the front.

Right now, at the forefront of Shrek Academy are two Soul Masters, Dai Yueheng and Ma Xiaotao.

The Soul Master Chi Hengyu of the Douling Team released his Martial Soul, the Vajra Shield.

Immediately afterwards, Chi Hengyu unleashed his fifth soul skill. The number of his massive shields began to increase, one becoming two, two becoming three, three becoming…

In short, a shield wall quickly appeared in front of the Fighting Spirits team's formation.

Qingfeng from the Douling team used his fourth soul skill, which sent earth spikes emerging from the ground and attaching to the front of Chi Hengyu's shield.

Zhang Mo knew perfectly well what terrifying thing the other side was preparing under their tight defenses, and he couldn't let them complete their preparations!

If Xu Sanshi were here, he could easily defeat the opponent with his fourth soul skill. However, since the last competition, his body has been extremely weak and he has not been able to participate in the competition until now. Otherwise, he would not have sent Zhang Mo to the stage.

"Ma Xiaotao, use yours!"

Zhang Mo held up one finger to Ma Xiaotao and gestured upwards.

Ma Xiaotao instantly understood Zhang Mo's meaning, then used her martial spirit to quickly ascend into the sky and began to gather her strength.

After releasing his martial soul and the three ancestral soul skills of the Dai family, Dai Yueheng's figure had reached an almost exaggerated level, standing more than two meters tall.

The Soul Master Xiao Feng, who was in control of the battle, made his move.

His martial soul is very special; it's the Mysterious Pearl. Like Huo Yuhao, he's a spirit-type soul master. His soul skills release various hallucinogenic abilities, confusing the soul master's senses.

His martial soul was not weak; in fact, one could say it was quite strong. But unfortunately, his opponent's martial soul was called the Spirit Eye.

Under the shared mental detection, all of his soul skills became ineffective.

Therefore, Xiao Feng's soul skill had no effect on Dai Yueheng and Ma Xiaotao at all.

Dai Yueheng brandished his enormous, steel-hard tiger claws as he pounced on the defensive fortifications of the Douling Battle Team.

Ma Xiaotao's soul skill was also ready at this moment.

The millennium-old soul ring shone brightly behind him.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Phoenix Roar Strike!"

Inside the fortifications, the members of the Fighting Spirit team were oblivious to what was happening outside, each holding a metal part of a different shape and engraved with beautiful patterns.

This is the trump card that the Douling team has prepared for the knockout stage!

A Thunder Cannon modeled after the Mingde Hall.

Just as everyone was in a flurry of activity, a sudden intense heat emanated from the ground.
