Douluo Continent II: You're an evil spirit master, but also a philanthropist?

"You are fighting for the honor of Shrek! Sweep away the gloom of these past few days with a crushing victory! You are Shrek's heroes!"

Although the rhetoric was old-fashioned, they were all young people who fell for it.

Beibei and Xu Sanshi also temporarily put aside their distracting thoughts and resolutely went on stage.

Despite the tension, they were confident they could achieve a crushing victory...

opposite.

Tianling Academy also took the stage.

Unlike in the original story, where they were timid and unsteady when they encountered Shrek, they were now as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Just yesterday, a man in black robes came to their door, not only handing them seven ice-type soul tools, but also showing them a recording crystal, which revealed the reason why Shrek Academy was short of people!

If Shrek Academy were at their peak, they would probably be instantly defeated.

But even in this incomplete state, Shrek might still be a force to be reckoned with!

This is the best opportunity in ten thousand years. If we can defeat Shrek Academy, not only will Tianling Academy become famous for eternity and write a glorious chapter in history, but the entire Douling Empire will also benefit from it!

Under such extreme temptation, who would care who the man in the black robe was?

They just want to win!

Furthermore, the soul tool that the black-robed man gave them, which countered ice-type attacks and was clearly intended for the only Soul King on the other side, Ling Luochen, greatly boosted their confidence!

Although Shrek might not win in this state, at least their morale is high, preventing them from collapsing from fear like in the original story...

"Hey, Beibei, why aren't they shaking?" Xu Sanshi suddenly sensed something was wrong.

Why weren't the other side trembling with fear as they had expected? Instead, they seemed eager to unleash their full power.

"You're asking me? How am I supposed to ask you?!" Beibei said irritably.

"But even if they're capable, so what? Senior Ling Luochen will just unleash a powerful move, freezing them all in the air, then kicking them down one by one. A Soul King's strength is formidable, even if they're injured..."

"You don't need to rush to attack. After I use my fifth soul skill, each of you can kick the ice sculpture off the stage. That will have a greater effect in intimidating the enemy," Ling Luochen said coldly.

"Yes, Sister Ling is so cool!"

Xu Sanshi said arrogantly.

But he also secretly glanced at Jiang Nannan, wondering which approach he could use to win her heart.

"Both players, please return to your positions. Ready to begin!"

The referee on the field said sternly.

Upon hearing this, both teams stood at the edge of the platform, eager to try.

The noise from the hundreds of thousands of spectators instantly subsided, and countless eyes focused on the audience.

"Game start!"

With the referee's whistle.

Everyone released their spirit rings simultaneously.

Tianling's group mostly has three or four rings, which is the optimal soul ring ratio.

In contrast, Shrek Academy.

Soul King Ling Luochen has two yellow, two purple and one black, Bei Bei and two others have two yellow and two purple, and Dai Huabin and two others have two yellow and one purple.

The appearance of Ling Luochen, a Soul King, excited countless viewers.

And the latter did not disappoint.

The staff in his hand gently fell to the ground.

Her red lips parted slightly: "The Ring of Ice and Radiance~!"

The next instant, as the fifth black soul ring flashed, an extreme chill swept over, and terrifying ice spread rapidly in all directions like ocean waves.

Even the referee who was about to step down was frozen into an ice sculpture.

Countless spectators stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what they were seeing.

"Is this Shrek Academy?" someone murmured.

……

While everyone was still in shock, the seven people opposite them also stared wide-eyed. They were shocked, but not by the strength of the other side, but by the words of the man in black robes.

"Remember this, Shrek Academy will most likely send out their strongest member, the Ice-type Soul King, in tomorrow's match. To intimidate you, they will definitely activate their fifth soul skill right away, so it's best to carry a soul tool that counters ice-type attacks and be ready to use it at any time..."

"Quickly, activate the soul tool!"

The captain's eyes narrowed, and he quickly shouted.

Before he could finish speaking...

A series of crimson lights shone around him.

The seven people instantly activated their soul tools. Although they were affected to some extent when the ice energy spread, they were only slightly numb from the cold because they had anticipated it and were equipped with soul tools. They were far from being frozen into ice sculptures.

Even the stiffness and paralysis throughout his body were rapidly decreasing due to the function of the soul tool.

In just a few dozen seconds, everyone recovered.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the entire Shrek crew...

But after listening to Ling Luochen's words, they waited for them all to be frozen, and then kicked off the stage one by one in a highly humiliating manner. But what they got was that nothing happened?!

"How is this possible!" Ling Luochen's face turned pale.

Her proud fifth soul skill should at least freeze the entire opposing team!

In past battles, even a low-level Soul King could be frozen by his own mistakes, let alone a group of low-level Soul Venerables and Soul Masters.

But what's even more fatal is that, after the first attack failed, he couldn't hold on any longer...

……

On the viewing stand.

Xiao Hongchen crossed his arms and laughed smugly.

"Hehe, I worked overtime to produce seven level-five defensive soul tools. I reduced their resistance to physical attacks and instead optimized them all for ice defense. They're basically everyday heating soul tools, but after being enhanced, they won't burn you. They'll also maximize the flow of energy through your meridians and reduce the stiffness caused by ice and snow to your brain and body..."

"I'm such a genius!"

"Not bad." Xu Cheng nodded slightly.

In the original novel, Ling Luochen didn't play in the first final match. It was in a later group match that Xu Sanshi, Bei Bei, and others were injured, so he brought Huo Gua onto the field.

This means that during this period, she was not fully recovered and was only able to play through sheer willpower.

After unleashing her ultimate attack, she had reached her limit. Just managing to stay conscious was a miracle. So, what's next...?

"Attack now! What are you waiting for?!"

A roar came from below the stage.

The Shrek members then seemed to awaken from a dream.

They launched a sudden attack.

Ling Luochen, his face already pale, used an ice staff to support himself on the ground.

My vision gradually blurred.

After all, in the original story, what they envisioned was that after Ling Luochen finished her attack, everyone would quickly deal with the other side and then secretly help her off the stage.

But now...

"Damn it, let's finish this quickly!" Beibei took the lead and charged ahead.

Xu Sanshi, carrying the Xuanming Shield, was just thinking about what kicking motion he could use to kick into Jiang Nannan's heart when he came to his senses and thought, "Huh? ?"

He Caitou provided fire support from behind.

Xiao Xiao summoned her jade flute and began to play.

Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu made no attempt to hide anything, immediately awakening their martial spirits, and a massive white tiger charged straight at the opposite side...

Chapter 88: They won, but they lost – He Caitou's self-destruction.

"Let's congratulate Shrek Academy on their victory!"

The referee's voice rang out, a blessing tinged with confusion and bewilderment.

Meanwhile, there was only sporadic applause throughout the venue, creating an eerie silence.

Countless eyes stared at Shrek Academy, filled with confusion.

Is Shrek Academy, which claims to be number one for ten thousand years and the number one academy on the continent, really only this much strength?

Even the early-game "cannon fodder" academy is so deadlocked?

even……

Ling Luochen collapsed on the competition stage due to severe physical exhaustion, unable to continue until Beibei and her team won.

Regarding the prestigious title of the First Academy.
