In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 397 Before the Battle

"Don't worry, the Royal Fighting Team that we're going to fight later might have a tough time. The other two teams, even if they're from academies, might not be as strong as the Royal Fighting Team. After all, the Royal Fighting Team is already one of the top academies in the Heaven Dou Empire."

At this moment, Dai Mubai also stood up and said.

"Our Shrek Seven Devils' overall strength is in no way inferior to the Royal Fighting Team. In fact, Boss Xiao is a Soul Master, while the mighty Royal Fighting Team doesn't even have a single Soul Master."

"Among our peers, the Shrek Seven Devils are absolutely unmatched!"

"Um!"

Hearing Dai Mubai's words, and with the large bowl of inspirational words from Xiao Huohuo, the Seven Devils of Shilaike quickly perked up.

Yes!

They were so focused on the martial spirit backgrounds of Ning Rongrong, Yu Tianheng, and others in the information that they overlooked the fact that their leader was a Soul Master.

Furthermore, this time Tang San can use hidden weapons, which won't be as useless as when he fought in team battles before. Instead, he will become a hidden weapon of mass destruction for the team. How can they possibly lose?

Just go all in!

Thinking of this, Flander, who arrived at the private room later, had a bright idea in his eyes. He quickly grabbed a few bags of gold soul coins and rushed off to place bets on the upcoming 7V7 Soul Battle...

at the same time.

In the VIP lounge of the Soto Arena, in VIP Room No. 3.

Ning Rongrong sat calmly in the middle of the sofa. Next to her was a woman dressed in black, with a black veil covering her face. She was slender, with long, flowing blue hair that cascaded down her back. Her eyes, the same color as her hair, showed no emotion, but hinted at a sense of loneliness and desolation.

Her name is Ye Lingling, and she is a Nine-Heart Begonia Soul Master.

The sofa where the two women were sitting wasn't small, but none of the other members in the private room dared to sit with them, as if they were afraid of them.

A handsome young man in blue was sitting on the sofa opposite, flanked by two slender men, while two strong, muscular men sat on the floor beside them.

"Boss, what do you think of our opponent later?"

The young man in blue, Yu Tianheng, spoke to Ning Rongrong, his eyes filled with a hint of subtle admiration, but even more so with awe.

Looking at the girl in front of him, who was a few years younger than him, he recalled the scene from a few months ago when she single-handedly defeated all the opponents in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. After joining the first team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, she relied on her outstanding strength to make the entire team have to call her "boss".

Initially, the Royal Fighting Team was unconvinced by her, believing that she, as a support-type Soul Master, had only defeated them by relying on external aids. Although they all knew in their hearts that Ning Rongrong, as a support-type Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master, had already achieved something extremely remarkable, they were still unconvinced. Besides, the future Soul Master Academy Tournament would restrict the use of external aids.

Until one day, they saw with their own eyes that Ning Rongrong no longer held the black iron sword, but instead had a seemingly ordinary wooden sword...

From then on, even the originally extremely proud Yu Tianheng had no choice but to submit to Ning Rongrong.

In the past few months, many wealthy young men at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy have pursued Ning Rongrong, a beautiful young woman with a promising future and a powerful background. Even Yu Tianheng, whose background conflicts with that of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, couldn't help but try to pursue her for a while.

However, Ning Rongrong only got along well with Ye Lingling from the Royal Fighting Team. Ye Lingling, who was usually indifferent to both men and women, admired Ning Rongrong, who was also a support-type Soul Master but had strong combat power. She did not resist and even enjoyed being with Ning Rongrong.

Over time, suitors, including Yu Tianheng, gradually gave up their pursuit of Ning Rongrong, making her another unattainable beauty in the Tiandou Royal Academy after Ye Lingling.

Perhaps some people privately believe that these two flowers represent lesbians...

"We need to go all out to deal with them."

At this moment, Ning Rongrong glanced at Yu Tianheng and said calmly, a strange and unfathomable light flashing in her eyes.

"Oh? Boss, judging from your words, you seem to know something."

Upon hearing this, Yu Feng, who was naturally carefree, couldn't help but speak up.

Ning Rongrong nodded and said:

"You'll see in a moment. If I'm not mistaken, Teacher Qin is now..."

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, the door to the private room opened, and everyone looked to see what had happened. A middle-aged man walked in; he was Qin Ming, the coach of this Royal Fighting Team.

Qin Ming walked to the table in front of the sofa, saying, "You've met your match this time," while taking out a piece of cloth and spreading it out on the table.

The information was as follows—

The Shrek Seven Devils team consists of seven members of unknown origin; they are also known as the Silver Soul Team.

Captain: Radiant Wolffire, Martial Soul: Wolf-Patterned Fire, Level 41 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master. Soul Rings: Two Yellow and Two Purple.

Vice-Captain: One-Eyed White Tiger, Martial Soul: White Tiger, Level 38 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master. Soul Rings: Two Yellow and One Purple.

Team member: Thousand-Handed Asura, Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass, Level 32 Control-type Battle Soul Master. Soul Rings: One white, one yellow, and one purple.

Team member: Soft-Boned Rabbit, Martial Soul: Soft-Boned Rabbit, Level 32 Close-Combat Type Soul Master. Soul Rings: Two Yellow and One Purple.

Team member: Evil Phoenix, Martial Soul: Evil Phoenix, Level 29 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master. Soul Rings: Two Yellow.

Team member: Ling Tong Han Bing, Martial Soul: Ling Mou, Level 33 Support/Control type Soul Master. Soul Rings: One white, one yellow, and one purple.

Team member: Sausage Specialist, Martial Soul: Sausage, Level 32 Support-type Weapon Soul Master. Soul Rings: Two yellow and one purple.

……

"This... Soul Sect?!"

Upon seeing Xiao Huohuo's information at the top of the cloth, Yu Tianheng was taken aback.

"Also, the opposing team has a Grand Soul Master, even a White Ring Soul Venerable? What kind of team is this? Is it a team made up of self-taught Soul Masters? But Teacher Qin Ming, didn't you say before that we're facing opponents of the same age this time?"

"They are indeed the same age. In fact, through inquiring about their past battles, I learned that, apart from this dazzling wolf fire, the rest of the Shrek Seven Devils team members are probably generally younger than you. So, it's reasonable to have a member at the Great Soul Master level. As for the White Ring Soul Master... how could such a person appear? I'm actually not quite sure either."

As he spoke, Qin Ming, who had once graduated from Shillake Academy, couldn't help but scratch his head in confusion and bewilderment.

He knew Shilake Academy's admission requirements very well, so why would there be a student whose first spirit ring was a ten-year white ring? Could it be that Shilake Academy had lowered its admission standards?

"I do know a little about the situation."

At this moment, Ning Rongrong spoke calmly.
