Chapter 105 The Strength of Team Two
"Where are we now?" Flander yawned and asked Chen Luo, who was looking at a map beside him.
Chen Luo said, "Within the Kingdom of Silves, we are almost at Silves City."
"This speed is not bad. We should be able to reach Tiandou City in a few days." Flander nodded.
Chen Luo put the map away: "Didn't you travel around a lot in your younger years? Don't you even know where you are?"
Flander smiled calmly: "Aren't you the same? You also need to look at the map."
"I've been to so many places, how could I possibly remember them all so clearly?" Chen Luo said.
“Me too,” Flanders said.
“We’ve arrived in Silves, why don’t we take a break?” Flander suggested.
Chen Luo said, "Speak plainly, don't beat around the bush."
Flander chuckled: "There's a fighting arena here too. Why don't we let the little monsters warm up first?"
Chen Luo frowned slightly: "Tang San has already obtained the Golden Soul Badge among them, so where did this Golden Soul Master level team come from to fight them?"
Flanders laughed and said, "Isn't there still a second team?"
……
Silves Grand Arena.
The Shrek team's second team entered the preparation area, while the rest of the Shrek team watched the game from the spectator stands. They all wanted good seats, and they didn't care about the ticket price.
"I originally thought the battle here could be avoided, but it still happened. However, the Shrek Seven Devils were not the ones who participated in the battle, so the ending was obviously not too bloody."
Chen Luo's gaze fell on the members of Shrek Team's second team, while he was thinking about the development of the plot in the book.
According to the plot of the book, the Shrek Seven Devils come here to begin their special training—killing.
They challenged a fighting team whose strength far surpassed their own, and then used all their hidden weapons to instantly kill them.
If Chen Luo remembered correctly, that team was called the Fierce God Team.
Judging from the current situation, it seems unlikely that the Shrek Seven Devils will be able to face that team again.
Chen Luo wouldn't deliberately arrange for the Shrek Seven Devils to experience such a battle, because it really wasn't necessary.
Indeed, a Soul Master's life is inevitably filled with killing, but this can be left to nature rather than being deliberately pursued.
"The second team's strength is quite good. It's been a long time since we've seen Yu Xiuyuan fight."
Chen Luo's gaze swept over the group of relatively unfamiliar faces, and finally landed on his disciple Yu Xiuyuan.
Yu Xiuyuan's current soul power level is level 25. He can't be considered a talented player, but he is still a bit stronger than those ordinary soul masters. However, compared to his talent, his hard work accounts for a larger part of his success.
Chen Luo didn't have much of an impression of Yu Xiuyuan's other six teammates.
When Chen Luo was at Shrek Academy, he focused on the little monsters in the monster teaching building and didn't pay much attention to the situation in the ordinary teaching building.
Chen Luo didn't stay at Shrek Academy for very long. He had just returned from his training in the City of Slaughter, and several months had passed in the blink of an eye. Even faces he vaguely remembered would gradually become unfamiliar with time.
However, this is not a big problem. As long as you take the time to learn about it and become familiar with it, it's just a matter of time.
Chen Luo's gaze lingered on Yu Xiuyuan for a moment before falling on Yu Xiuyuan's other teammates.
With a clenched fist, a document appeared in Chen Luo's hand, which he began to read carefully.
Sitting next to Chen Luo was a teacher in charge of an ordinary teaching building, who immediately began to introduce each of them to Chen Luo.
These past few days everyone has been busy traveling. At the very beginning, everyone just greeted each other. Under those circumstances, remembering everyone was extremely difficult.
"The student with slightly longer hair is named Lu Changming. His martial soul is a longsword. He is the only one in the team whose soul power level is close to level 30. It is estimated that he will be able to reach level 30 smoothly after this exchange competition ends."
"He missed an opportunity to join the Monster Teaching Building before, but he has been working very hard in the regular teaching building ever since. His talent is also worthy of recognition, with innate soul power at level eight."
"The shortest one is named Xiao Mengsheng. His martial soul is a guqin (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument). He is currently at level 23 in terms of soul power and is the support-type soul master in the team."
As the teacher next to him introduced the students, Chen Luo's impression of them deepened. Among them, the one who attracted his attention the most was not Lu Changming, whose martial soul was a longsword and whose talent and soul power level were the highest in the team, but Zhao Yan, who looked ordinary and whose martial soul was a paintbrush.
Zhao Yan's appearance is nothing special; he's the kind of person you'd easily lose in a crowd. However, his Paintbrush Martial Soul is exceptionally unique, and his Soul Power level is also quite high, ranking second in the group at level twenty-seven.
The information contains a fairly detailed introduction to Zhao Yan. His soul skill is painting; he can paint in the air and bring the eyes to life with a single touch.
These students were unaware of the situation until they learned that there were actually quite a few little monsters in Shrek Academy.
Yu Xiuyuan and his team's battle began quickly. Their opponents were the Silver Soul Battle Team, whose strength was similar to their own.
Since the matchmaking target for the Fighting Spirit Team is calculated based on the highest level of Fighting Spirit Badge in the team, and Yu Xiuyuan's Fighting Spirit Badge is Silver Fighting Spirit, Yu Xiuyuan and his team's target is also a Silver Fighting Spirit Team.
Apart from Yu Xiuyuan, the other members of the team rarely participate in Soul Fighting Competitions, and usually only train in the academy's Soul Fighting Arena.
However, they remain very confident in their abilities because every training session they undertake is at a hellish difficulty level. Don't forget, their training partners are the Shrek Seven Devils.
As soon as the battle began, everyone activated their Martial Souls, and the Soul Arena was filled with dazzling Soul Ring light, mainly yellow with some white light as well.
Holding a long sword, Lu Changming stood at the front of the group and was the first to attack the opponent. He was very fast and soon arrived within the attack range. With a light flick of his long sword, he unleashed a sword aura.
Behind them, Zhao Yan, wielding a giant paintbrush, painted rapidly. As Zhao Yan finished his last stroke, a wolf-like monster suddenly charged out.
Accompanying the wolf-like monster was a white snake; they maintained roughly the same speed, suggesting they had coordinated their movements many times before.
As the melodious sound of the zither filled the air, everyone in the team experienced a boost in their condition. This type of support-type martial soul, which amplifies teammates through sound, is relatively rare. The amplification effect is rather average, but its advantage lies in its area-of-effect amplification. Compared to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile, it is naturally inferior, but it is still much stronger than ordinary support-type martial souls.
The battle of Shrek Team Two has begun.
Chapter 106 Snake and Tiger
The ferocious wolf-like monster pounced on an opponent, and the white snake immediately stepped forward to coil around him. In just one exchange, the opponent was completely incapacitated.
On the other side, Lu Changming, wielding a long sword, was fighting an opponent, but Lu Changming was clearly in a superior position.
The battle in the Soul Arena was divided into several parts. Shrek Team 2 was very strong, and almost every member of them crushed their opponents.
"Have Yu Xiuyuan and Zhao Yan received any special training?" Chen Luo asked.
"Yes, the two of them have worked together the longest. Zhao Yan's soul skill is similar to a summoning creature, while Yu Xiuyuan's martial soul is quite special. The two of them can work together better."
"You will soon be able to see Zhao Yan's second soul skill. His second soul skill has the highest synergy with Yu Xiuyuan's White Snake."
The teacher in the ordinary teaching building said with a smile.
This teacher in the ordinary teaching building was a middle-aged man who looked rather ordinary. The only thing that stood out about him was his relatively large lower lip. He was also quite strong, being a Soul Master named Tang Jiamo.
Shrek Academy has pretty good teaching resources; most of them are at least Soul Master level.
Not long after Tang Jiamo spoke, Yu Xiuyuan and Zhao Yan began their collaboration.
The wolf-shaped monster summoned by Zhao Yan's first soul skill was killed by the opponent.
When controlling the wolf-like monster, Zhao Yan did not use any other soul skills, and it is unknown whether this was due to limitations related to his martial soul.
Zhao Yan's second soul ring lit up, and he quickly waved his paintbrush in the air. Soon, the shape of a tiger gradually took shape, and the tiger came to life the moment his paintbrush fell.
With the tiger joining the fray, the opponent was instantly routed.
As Tang Jiamo said, Yu Xiuyuan's White Snake and Zhao Yan's second soul skill were in perfect harmony, as if they had coordinated countless times.
With a snake and a tiger, wherever they go, enemies will fall to the ground and lose their fighting ability.
The tiger is responsible for the main attack and resisting soul skills, while the white snake is responsible for control and sneak attacks. Their positioning is very particular. The tiger walks in front and the white snake follows behind, ready to pounce from under the tiger at any time to launch a surprise attack on the enemy.
This battle of spirits had little to do with tactics; it was all about individual performances. Apart from the support spirit master, the other participants were all incredibly strong.
Yu Xiuyuan is both a control-type Soul Master and a power-attack-type Soul Master in the team. His White Snake can play a control role, and its own combat power is not weak, making him quite versatile.
Lu Changming, whose martial soul is a longsword, is a pure offensive soul master. In Lu Changming's mind, there seems to be no such thing as defense or retreat. He is always on the offensive. In addition to his two basic soul skills, his understanding of the sword is also quite good, and every attack can achieve a certain effect.
As a support-type Soul Master, Xiao Mengsheng did not have many outstanding performances in this battle; his performance can only be described as mediocre.
However, his zither playing is truly excellent. Even if one cannot enjoy the amplification of his soul skills, hearing his leisurely zither music is a pleasure in itself.
Compared to these students, the others seemed rather ordinary.
He is tall and strong, possesses an awesome martial spirit, and has a soul power level of 22.
Mo Xiaoyu, Martial Soul: Tanuki, Soul Power Level: 23.
Xu Tian, Martial Soul: Long Staff, Soul Power Level: 25.
Their martial souls are all relatively ordinary, their soul power levels are also relatively average, and they are all on the older side, with Xu Tian estimated to be fourteen years old.
There are small monsters in the regular school buildings, but their numbers are very small.
For example, Lu Changming and Zhao Yan had the opportunity to join the Monster Teaching Building before, but they didn't seize it. During the assessment in the Soul Arena that day, they stood with Yu Xiuyuan, but in the end only Yu Xiuyuan stood up.
Some students also chose to leave. They came to Shrek Academy to enjoy the most resources, but they didn't get that opportunity. Feeling resentful, they ultimately chose to leave.
The Soul Master Academy is full of students with mental problems, but of course, no one can say for sure that their choices are wrong.
Zhao Yan and Lu Changming chose to persevere. Compared to that worthless sense of pride, they preferred to see more substantial results.
Driven by their inner resentment and pressure, they worked incredibly hard, and as it turned out, they succeeded.
"Why didn't they apply for the Monster Teaching Building earlier?" Chen Luo asked.
Tang Jiamo smiled awkwardly, "They did apply, and most of the teachers agreed, but in the end, it was rejected by the dean. The reason given was that they needed to hone their skills for a while longer."
"Besides them, there was another child who was also quite capable. After his application was rejected once, he couldn't handle the pressure and chose to leave. It's a real pity," Tang Jiamo said.
"After this exchange competition, let them report to the Monster Teaching Building!" Chen Luo said.
"Okay, okay!" Tang Jiamo seemed very happy, as if he were the one who was about to join the Monster Teaching Building.
"Who are you referring to?" Tang Jiamo asked tentatively, trying to be more precise.
"If nothing unexpected happens, the entire team can join. I believe they are all elites from ordinary teaching buildings, and it's time to give them a chance," Chen Luo said calmly.
In reality, ordinary students like those few wouldn't be able to join the Monster Teaching Building at all, but there are always exceptions. There have to be a few spots in the Monster Teaching Building for all the students so that they have something to look forward to.
Students whose abilities don't match the monsters' level, even if they join the monster school building, will eventually choose to return to the regular school building because they can't handle the pressure.
The Monster Education Building is ultimately just a place to collect monsters.
"Yes, yes, thank you very much, Master!" Tang Jiamo said excitedly.
Tang Jiamo was well aware of the master's status at Shrek Academy. If he said it was possible, then the children's opportunity had truly arrived!
"No need to thank me, they got in based on their own ability and hard work," Chen Luo said.
