Douluo Continent: Taking Tang San as a disciple, with a ten-thousand-fold return for teaching him.

As the match began, Xie Yue displayed the combat power befitting a Soul King. With the cooperation of his teammates, he easily broke into the Qiongyuan Academy team and effortlessly took down their back row. The subsequent battle was also a foregone conclusion, another crushing defeat.

Throughout the entire battle, Xie Yue didn't even use his fifth soul skill, completely dominating the match with his overwhelming advantage in soul power level.

With the conclusion of the match between the Spirit Hall and Qiongyuan Academy, the third round of the elimination tournament has come to an end, followed by the draw for the fourth round.

Good fortune has left Chen Luo, and can no longer favor him. In the round of six to three, several strong teams are destined to meet one of them.

Shrek Academy has finally met its nemesis, Star Luo Royal Academy.

The draw results for the other teams have also been released one after another.

Shenfeng Academy versus Tiandou Royal Academy.

The Spirit Hall versus the Light and Shadow Academy (second place in the Star Luo Empire's qualifying round).

This situation is not bad for Shrek Academy. The Spirit Hall team is destined to be the final enemy. No matter who wins the battle between Shenfeng Academy and Tiandou Royal Academy, they will have to pay a certain price.

The day's rest time passed quickly, and the fourth round of the competition began.

Chapter 204 A Victory That Must Be Taken

The first match of the fourth round of the knockout stage was between the Spirit Hall and the Light and Shadow Academy of the Star Luo Empire.

Guangying Academy was only second in the Star Luo Empire's qualifying rounds, and its strength was not even comparable to the second seed, Qiongyuan Academy. If it weren't for the bye qualification for second place in the qualifying rounds, it would probably have been eliminated in the last round.

As expected, the match turned into a crushing defeat, with the Light and Shadow Academy being completely crushed by the Spirit Hall.

It is worth mentioning that the Spirit Hall has shown a significant increase in its seriousness towards the competition. Xie Yue, who played in the previous match, also appeared in this match and remains a core member of the team.

Nobody wants to capsize in a ditch, and the Spirit Hall is no exception.

After the match between the Spirit Hall and the Light and Shadow Academy, the next match will be between Shrek Academy and the Star Luo Royal Academy.

Such a clash between two strong teams is undoubtedly more eye-catching, and it is easier for strong teams to reveal each other's trump cards. Even the Spirit Hall team is prepared to watch the game carefully.

Shrek Academy's preparation area.

Chen Luo, Flander, Liu Erlong, and the others watched as the Shrek Seven Devils entered, all with solemn expressions.

They were all well aware of the strength of the Star Luo Royal Academy, especially the Netherworld White Tiger, the martial soul fusion skill of Davis and Zhu Zhuyun, which almost had the ability to dominate the game.

Flander said, "It seems there are advantages to encountering them earlier. If we had encountered Star Luo Royal Academy in the third round of the competition, we might have been able to catch them off guard by taking advantage of their carelessness. But now that they have all of us Soul Masters, they will probably be very cautious."

Chen Luo said, "Don't overthink it, just trust the little monsters."

Flander gave a wry smile: "This is the number one seed of the Star Luo Empire. In terms of strength, he might even be stronger than our Heaven Dou Royal Academy. How can I not think about it?"

Then, Flander asked, "What are the little monsters' chances of winning?"

Chen Luo said with absolute certainty, "Ninety-nine percent. I'm afraid people will get arrogant if I say ten percent."

Flanders smiled.

Chen Luo said seriously, "Don't forget that they have plenty of trump cards. At worst, they can just reveal some of them in advance. Victory will surely belong to Shrek Academy."

Upon hearing this, Flander couldn't help but recall the scenes of the little monsters training before, and his gaze became firm: "Yes, victory will surely belong to us at Shrek!"

While Chen Luo and Flander were talking, the two competitors had already taken their positions on the competition stage.

There was no trash talk segment as expected. All fourteen participants looked serious and focused. With the referee's signal, the competition began.

Everyone activated their Martial Souls, and all of the Shrek Seven Devils became Soul Masters, with Tang San also possessing a jet-black ten-thousand-year Soul Ring.

On the surface, the Star Luo Royal Academy appears to be slightly inferior, with six Soul Masters and one Soul Venerable.

In fact, the aura emanating from the Star Luo Royal Academy was subtly stronger than that from Shrek Academy.

Their strongest captain, Davis, is a level 49 Soul Master, and it is said that he is not far from becoming a Soul King.

Their weakest Soul Master is only one step away from becoming a Soul Grandmaster, and is expected to complete the breakthrough after the competition ends.

In terms of lineup, Shrek Academy has three strong attackers, one agile attacker, one controller, and two supports, a standard team lineup.

The Star Luo Royal Academy has two strong attackers, three agile attackers, and two support, focusing more on offense.

After the match started, both teams immediately took their positions.

Shrek Academy changed its usual conservative formation. Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing were still in the first row, but the second row was no longer Tang San, but Ma Hongjun, followed by Tang San, and then the two support characters Ning Rongrong and Oscar.

It's clear that Shrek Academy's fighting style is more offensive, and Tang San's task has become more demanding, as he not only has to control the situation but also protect the backline.

The Star Luo Royal Academy team had a similar formation, with one person staying behind to protect the back row while the others were all in an offensive posture.

The positioning was completed in an instant, and the first wave of combat between the two teams began.

Dai Mubai and Davis were both at the forefront of the team and were the first to clash, forming their own battlefield.

Zhu Zhuyun naturally clashed with Zhu Zhuqing, and the atmosphere was equally tense.

Another powerful attack-type Soul Master from Star Luo Royal Academy was a tall, thin man whose Martial Soul was an inflated water buffalo, and whose Soul Power level was 44. He was the one who faced off against Xiao Wu.

The other two agility-type Soul Masters of Star Luo Royal Academy are named Tang Hongning and Li Yang, with Li Yang responsible for staying behind to guard the rear.

Tang Hongning, with a soul power level of 43 and a martial soul of the Sharp Thunder Jackal, had a very clear goal: to go straight for Tang San. However, he was quickly intercepted by Ma Hongjun.

Ma Hongjun was clearly at a disadvantage against Tang Hongning, but don't forget that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was behind him.

With Tang San's Blue Silver Grass interfering, Ma Hongjun was able to hold off Tang Hongning relatively easily.

Tang San had, after all, mastered the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's secret technique for controlling distraction, and even the Three Apertures Heart Control technique was sufficient for him.

Tang San didn't take care of all his teammates, only helping Ma Hongjun to hold him back, while he himself was already preparing his ultimate move.

As soon as the battle began, Ning Rongrong's third soul skill, Soul Power Amplification, was applied to Tang San. Oscar was also immediately making Excitement Pink Sausage, also for Tang San.

The initial skirmishes were mostly individual battles, with only small-scale team fights breaking out at most.

The purpose of the attack also reveals the basic combat strategies of both teams.

The Star Luo Royal Academy clearly focused its attack on Shrek Academy's back row. Both Zhu Zhuyun and Tang Hongning were very determined in their objective. However, Shrek Academy's response was extremely effective, giving them no chance to break through.

Shrek Academy, on the other hand, was clearly preparing a backup plan, not pursuing immediate offensive progress, but rather building up its ultimate attack.

It's worth mentioning that, whether it's the Star Dou Royal Academy or Shrek Academy, the two members of the Netherworld White Tiger duo are quite close together, seemingly ready to use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill at any time.

While the front row was engaged in fierce combat, the support characters in the back row were not idle either. Ning Rongrong, who wielded the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, possessed the Four Apertures of Eternity Heart, which was more than enough to meet the needs of all her teammates. She provided power for Dai Mubai and Xiao Wu, speed for Zhu Zhuqing, and soul power for Ma Hongjun. Amplifying lights flashed continuously.

Oscar was not idle either. As the team's supply depot, after making the Excitement Pink Sausage for Tang San, he immediately began making other supplies, which were then delivered to his teammates by Tang San using Blue Silver Grass and hidden weapon techniques.

The two support Soul Masters from Star Luo Royal Academy both possess the Martial Soul of "Upper Goodness Like Water," which allows them to create water mist to provide buffs to their teammates. These buffs are similar in terms of strength and speed, yet their combined buffs are still less than Ning Rongrong's alone. This is mainly because they lack the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Distraction Technique, which prevents them from attending to all their teammates in a short period of time.

Whether it's the intensity or efficiency of the increase, Ning Rongrong completely outclassed her.

The difference between teams is nothing more than this; there will always be strengths and weaknesses, which is unavoidable.

It was also thanks to Ning Rongrong's boost that Dai Mubai and the others were able to hold their own against Davis and others whose soul power levels were higher than their own, thus creating more opportunities for the team.

The battle continued, and Tang San's ultimate move was almost ready. But then, an unexpected turn of events occurred.

On the Star Luo Royal Academy side, Li Yang, the agility-type Soul Master guarding the back row, had been charging up his ultimate move. Now that he was ready, his fourth Soul Ring suddenly lit up.

A pitch-black gate instantly formed in front of Zhu Zhuyun. Zhu Zhuyun rushed into the gate and suddenly disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, a similar door appeared at the back of Shrek Academy, and Zhu Zhuyun suddenly rushed out.

Chapter 205 Shrek Academy wins!

Upon seeing this, Tang San and his companions not only showed no panic, but actually laughed.

Ning Rongrong and Oscar each ate a mushroom sausage, and immediately took to the air at an extremely fast speed.

Zhu Zhuyun had just rushed out of the black gate, but before she could even swing her claws, Ning Rongrong and Oscar had already made their escape.

The two of them seemed to have been waiting for this moment to arrive, remaining vigilant at all times, practically with the mushroom sausages in their mouths.

As a support Soul Master, one must be prepared to be cut off at any time. Ordinary support Soul Masters do not have the ability to escape, but Ning Rongrong and Oscar do. Oscar had already made mushroom sausages as a backup, in case of a sudden attack by Star Luo Royal Academy.

After takeoff, Ning Rongrong was still worried that the speed was not enough, so she immediately provided a speed boost to herself and Oscar, and in that instant, she created enough distance between herself and Zhu Zhuyun.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Zhuyun's face immediately turned extremely ugly, as did Davis and the others on the other side.

Upon seeing this, Li Yang, the agility-type Soul Master who controlled the black gate, immediately used his fourth Soul Skill again. The black gate reappeared in front of Zhu Zhuyun. Zhu Zhuyun wanted to rush into the gate immediately, but suddenly sensed a powerful force coming from underground.

"Whoa!!!"

Countless blue silver grasses suddenly burst forth, and Zhu Zhuyun was knocked away by them as soon as she took a step.

It wasn't just Zhu Zhuyun's side; Davis and his group were in the same boat. These Blue Silver Grasses seemed to have been planning this all along, waiting for this sudden moment.

The Blue Silver Grass that burst forth from the ground possessed the strength of the Blue Silver Cage, and Tang San's body was also flashing with his fourth spirit ring.

That's right, the mutated version of this ten-thousand-year-old soul skill, the Blue Silver Thrust Formation, has arrived!

Back during the preliminary rounds, Shrek Academy encountered Tianshui Academy, and Tang San began to doubt his own strength. After Chen Luo had a heart-to-heart talk with him, Tang San gained a completely new understanding of his Blue Silver Grass.

When Blue Silver Grass becomes powerful enough, it can also be used as an offensive weapon. The Blue Silver Grass in Blue Silver Cage is strong enough to meet the standards for offense, thus giving rise to the mutated Blue Silver Spike Array.

At that time, Tang San was already conducting experiments step by step, and Chen Luo was his sparring partner and instructor.

As for why the Blue Silver Spike Formation wasn't used in previous matches, it's because it was completely unnecessary. The Blue Silver Prison was sufficient to deal with other teams. Furthermore, the Blue Silver Spike Formation consumes more soul power and requires a longer preparation time. Otherwise, the scene at the start of the match wouldn't have happened where Ning Rongrong's soul power boost first landed on Tang San, followed closely by Oscar's Pink Sausage.

The Blue Silver Spike Array is already extraordinary; if it is against a weaker target, it can even pierce through it directly.

Even if Davis and his group are strong enough to withstand the Blue Silver Spike Formation's attack, they cannot avoid being knocked away and controlled. And what the Shrek Seven Devils need right now is to knock them away and control them.

As Davis and the others were knocked away, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, as if they had trained countless times, immediately joined forces and instantly completed the Martial Soul Fusion Technique, Netherworld White Tiger.

The enormous tiger paw naturally targeted Davis, who was closest and posed the greatest threat, sending him flying with a single blow. The terrifying force nearly shattered Davis's shoulder.

Then it was the others' turn, each receiving a palm strike, the rain and dew evenly distributed.

The situation can change in an instant; this is the power of a control-type Soul Master.

The Star Luo Royal Academy and others reacted extremely quickly, coming up with a solution almost immediately.

Before the arrival of the Netherworld White Tiger, Li Yang forcibly maintained his Reflecting Mirror. Yes, what looked like a black gate was actually the Reflecting Mirror.

Furthermore, the position of the Reflection Realm was forcibly adjusted to a location where Zhu Zhuyun would land, meaning that Zhu Zhuyun would definitely be able to enter the Reflection Realm.

The mirror of reflection reveals the power of space. Using such a powerful and profound force is extremely taxing, and Li Yang used it repeatedly, almost constantly squeezing out his soul power. Blood was already spilling from his ears, nose, and mouth, clearly indicating that he was under immense strain.

Before the Netherworld White Tiger's paw could even land, Li Yang fainted from exhaustion.

Fortunately, he completed his mission at the last moment. Even with Tang San's subsequent control, Zhu Zhuyun still fell into the Mirror of Reflection. When she reappeared, she was already beside Davis, and she quickly cut off the Blue Silver Grass that bound her.
