Douluo: Soul Shadow King.

As soon as he entered the venue, strange looks fell on Cheng Xiao, and there were also a lot of discussions and exclamations.

Cheng Xiao didn't care about these discussions. The draw was completed yesterday. Seven Star Academy did not get a bye in the first round. Their opponent today was lucky enough to be drawn to Shrek Academy.

All the teams that passed the preliminaries from different divisions were grouped together. Cheng Xiao naturally saw more familiar opponents, such as Kamikaze and Tianshui who gave up before the game even started, and the proud but failed Chihuo.

As for Shrek Academy, Xiao Wu winked at Cheng Xiao quietly, then followed the others into the lounge.

Shrek Academy preparation area.

Seeing that they would be fighting against Seven Star Academy in the first round, the Shrek team, who were originally full of confidence, suddenly became discouraged.

"Alas, why did I meet this evil star again?" Ma Hongjun looked miserable, and howled like a ghost: "Is it possible that I, Fatty, can't escape the clutches of this evil star?"

Hearing Ma Hongjun's wailing, the others were also dejected. Those who were pressed to the ground by Cheng Xiao all had a look of fear on their faces.

"Hahaha, Fatty, you're so funny, aren't you?" Looking at the fat man howling like a ghost, Xiao Wu couldn't help but chuckle.

"Xiao Wu, how can you still laugh?" the master said in a deep voice.

Xiao Wu narrowed her eyes and said calmly: "Master, then please tell me, if I don't want to laugh, do I have to cry?"

"Xiao Wu, that's not what the teacher meant." Seeing that the tension between the two was getting intense, Tang San stood up and said seriously, "Our only enemy now is Cheng Xiao, so we should discuss how to defeat him."

Xiao Wu snorted coldly, turned her head, and sat down next to Zhu Zhuqing. She ignored Master and Tang San and just sat there quietly.

"Hmph, how uneducated." The master was also very angry. If Tang Hao hadn't said that Xiao Wu was useful, he would have asked Flanders to kick this girl who didn't know how to respect her teachers out of Shrek.

"Teacher, don't be angry, let's first think about how to solve the trouble at Seven Star Academy." Tang San rubbed his brows and said helplessly.

Hearing this, the master waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "With Cheng Xiao's personality, after knowing that our opponent is us, he will definitely go on stage first. When he goes on stage, let Mu Bai go first, followed by Tai Long, Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, Jing Ling, Xiao Wu, and the last one is you."

"Only in this way can we consume Cheng Xiao's soul power to the greatest extent, and then let Xiao San defeat him."

"Master, I don't mind this arrangement, but if Xiao San can't get rid of Cheng Xiao, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing for us Shrek?" Dai Mubai frowned and said.

"Mu Bai, as the captain of Shrek, how can you think like this?" The master scolded: "Think about it carefully, among all of you, except Xiao San, who else has a chance to defeat Cheng Xiao?

"In other words, even if Xiao San is allowed to go on stage first, who among you is sure to win the game?"

"I understand." Dai Mubai lowered his head gloomily. The master was right. Given Shrek's current situation, it was indeed the case.

…………Just as Shrek was arranging his tactics, Emperor Xue Ye had already stood up from the VIP seat and said loudly through his soul guide: "The promotion match begins today. In the next fourteen days, I hope that the teams from each academy can give full play to their strengths and show the demeanor that young soul masters should have. I declare that the competition officially begins!"

As Emperor Xue Ye finished his speech, the entire venue suddenly erupted in cheers, "Long live, long live, long live!"

The Royal Knights raised their lances high, and the clanging of their armor and their loud shouts immediately surprised the soul masters participating in the competition. From this perspective, the great power style of the Tiandou Empire is truly extremely powerful.

The first game started soon. The first to appear was Chihuo College, and their opponent was also an old acquaintance, Tianshui College.

Huo Wu of Chihuo College was extremely disdainful of Tianshui College's tactic of surrendering without even fighting, so they launched the most fierce attack as soon as the game started.

On Shrek's side, the master began to arrange the participating players. "Tyrone, you will be the first to go on stage. Don't worry about anything after you go on stage. Just use all your strength and strongest moves. Try to let Cheng Xiao take your strongest attack. Only in this way can the others after you have room to perform."

"Mu Bai, you go up second. Your mission is to consume more of Cheng Xiao's spirit power. You should hold out as long as you can. According to my guess, most of Cheng Xiao's spirit skills consume a lot of energy. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to use only one spirit skill in a battle."

"Xiao Wu, Zhu Qing, Jing Ling, when the three of you go on stage, try not to fight Cheng Xiao too much. Use your speed to wear him down. Wear him down as much as you can. If you really can't do it, just give up. It's okay."

"Ma Hongjun, your injury has just healed. I put you in the second to last position. In this competition, whether you win or lose, you must try your best. With Xiao San's current strength, if you defeat Cheng Xiao, we will definitely win the promotion match."

After listening to the master's arrangements, everyone nodded.

At the same time, on the podium, the referee announced the results of the other colleges' competitions calmly. He was less passionate about this kind of competition for the purpose of learning from each other.
However, when he saw the list of the next game, he was startled at first, then he looked at Emperor Xue Ye with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, the next game should be the most interesting one."

"Oh?" Emperor Xue Ye showed some interest and signaled the referee to read out the list of contestants.

"Round one, match four, Seven Star Academy versus Shrek Academy."

As the referee's voice fell, a figure suddenly flashed onto the stage. It was Tyrone from Shrek Academy.

Immediately afterwards, a black shadow suddenly appeared on the stage. Cheng Xiao twisted his neck and then snapped his fingers lightly.

A dark figure emerged from the shadows beneath his feet, his icy blue and scarlet hair instantly drawing the attention of everyone in the room.

"what is that?"

"Isn't it a rule that no things other than martial spirits can appear in the competition? Cheng Xiao from Seven Star Academy, this is violating the rules!"

Looking at the black shadow that appeared in the center of the field, many soul masters from different academies began to discuss.

Emperor Xue Ye in the VIP seat was even more surprised. This was the first time he saw Cheng Xiao truly use the power of his martial soul. In the preliminaries some time ago, this young genius in the world of martial soul masters only used ordinary fists and kicks! (End of this chapter)
