Douluo Continent: I am the Ice Archer, my ice power is invincible.

Chapter 45 What the hell is a surprise?

Under the watchful eyes of 80,000 spectators, a total of fourteen members from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team 2 and the Shrek Academy Team stepped onto the arena.

The Shrek team fielded Tang San, Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu, and four substitutes.

Tang San and his group had suffered humiliation at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and for them, this was a good opportunity for revenge.

With the referee's announcement, the first preliminary round of the Soul Master Tournament officially began.

On the Shrek Academy team's side, Tang San launched the first attack.

After Tang San trapped the members of the second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy with the Blue Silver Cage, Dai Mubai and the others launched a fierce attack on them.

All seven were three-ring Battle Soul Masters, and they were powerless against the Shrek team's relentless attacks.

Screams erupted from the arena; some had broken bones, while others were covered in blood.

Since the Soul Master Competition began, such a tragic scene has never occurred on the arena.

To everyone's surprise, the Shrek team ended the battle in just one minute.

Their ruthless methods and devastating impact on their opponents shocked all the spectators present.

Those viewers who had initially mocked the Shrek team realized that they weren't as bad as they had imagined.

Having witnessed the horrific scene firsthand, Shui Bing'er became even more convinced of Xiao Han's conjecture.

"Xiao Han, no wonder you said that Sect Master Ning favors the Shrek Academy team. They do have some strength, especially that Blue Silver Grass Soul Master who controls the field. But, this is just the qualifiers, and their methods are far too cruel."

Xiao Han snorted coldly:

"That's typical of those scoundrels—ruthless and vicious. If they run into us, we'll beat them to a pulp."

Xiao Han knew that they would run into Shrek Academy sooner or later.

However, given Yu Xiaogang's style, after learning of their formidable strength, he might choose to avoid their sharp edge and withdraw from the competition.

After all, as long as they maintain a top-five record, they can advance to the finals.

But those scoundrels have an inexplicable confidence, so it's not impossible for them to mess with them.

No matter what, we will definitely meet on the field.

After dinner, Lin Zhiruo gathered the team members together.

"Tomorrow's match will be against Cangnan Academy. As far as I know, they are not strong, and could even be described as weak. Even if Xiaohan and Bing'er don't play, you will be able to win the match easily."

Xuewu asked:

"Dean Lin, do you mean neither the captain nor Xiao Han will play tomorrow?"

Before Lin Zhiruo could answer, Xiao Han said:

"Mom, I don't think we need to deliberately hide our strength. Some weaker teams will give up when they face us once they know how strong we are. If we can win without fighting, we can have more time to rest."

Shui Bing'er nodded.

"Dean Lin, I agree with Xiaohan's point of view."

Lin Zhiruo thought for a moment.

"It seems that Tianshui Academy can't keep a low profile even if it wants to. How about this, Xiaohan and Xuewu won't play tomorrow, and Bing'er will lead the team instead."

"it is good."

The main force of the Tianshui team has all reached the level of Soul Master or above. Even without Soul Kings Xiao Han and Xue Wu, they can still shock the audience.

the next day.

Xiao Han and his group arrived at the competition venue.

Five arenas have been set up in the center of the arena: one central arena and four sub-arenas.

Five matches will be played simultaneously, with three rounds each day.

The teams that get to compete in the center are definitely the ones that receive more attention.

The Tianshui team, with its attractive female members and the only male student in the school's history, was unsurprisingly placed on the center stage.

They will play in the first round.

The Shrek team participated in an exhibition match yesterday, so they don't have a match today.

However, Tang San and his group still arrived at the viewing area for the participating academy teams.

Tang San wanted to know just how strong Xiao Han and the people from the Tianshui team really were.

Looking around, Tang San spotted Xiao Han on the other side and couldn't help but frown.

"Is he not playing today? Is it because the opponent is weak?"

Just as Tang San was wondering what was going on, the competition host's voice came through the loudspeaker throughout the entire arena:

"The competition is about to begin. Participating teams, please step onto the stage."

As soon as the host finished speaking, a deafening roar erupted from the audience.

Yesterday's exhibition match was just an appetizer, it was over in a minute, and it wasn't satisfying at all.

Starting today, five matches will be played simultaneously.

This means that hundreds of spirit rings will bloom simultaneously, a spectacular scene that only occurs once every five years.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the Tianshui beauty team slowly stepped onto the central arena.

A scream erupted from the audience.

"Tianshui College truly lives up to its reputation as a haven for beautiful women; they are all so gorgeous."

"Yes, she's not only beautiful but also talented."

"Hey, why didn't that male player from yesterday play?"

"He was standing at the very back of the team when he came on, so he must have been a substitute who wasn't very good."

"Who cares, as long as there are beautiful women to see."

"Go, beauties of Tianshui!!"

Shuiyue waved enthusiastically to the audience who were cheering them on, to express her gratitude.

The cheers from the audience grew even louder.

Looking at the group of girls, Ma Hongjun's eyes lit up and his mouth watered.

Oscar couldn't help but joke:

"Fatty, have you never seen a girl before? Look at you, so pathetic."

"You don't know anything. You have Rongrong, Boss Dai has his little wildcat, Third Brother has Xiaowu, and I'm just a single dog. What's wrong with taking a second look?"

"Sigh, you're completely hopeless."

Tang San stared intently at the center of the arena, as if afraid of missing something.

The host announced:

"All participating team members, please release your respective Martial Souls and Soul Rings. The match will officially begin in one minute!"

As the host announced, the seventy Soul Masters on the five arenas released their Martial Souls and Soul Rings almost simultaneously.

The colorful lights intertwined, illuminating the sky as if it were daytime.

Among all the people in the venue, Shui Bing'er from Tianshui Academy was undoubtedly the most dazzling.

She stood at the very front of the group, her posture upright, aloof and noble.

A giant ice phoenix rose from behind her, and the surrounding temperature plummeted, causing even the audience in the stands to shiver involuntarily.

What's even more astonishing is the spirit rings surrounding Shui Bing'er.

The five spirit rings, yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black, are arranged in sequence.

The ten-thousand-year-old soul ring radiating black light demonstrated Shui Bing'er's Soul King level status.

Since the Soul Master Competition began, the Heaven Dou region has never seen a ten-thousand-year soul ring.

Everyone present was deeply shocked by this scene. Even those experienced Soul Master viewers had never seen such a young Soul King.

Shui Bing'er's existence seems to be the most perfect interpretation of the word "genius". She has both strength and beauty, and instantly became the focus of everyone's attention.

"Look! That's the Ice Phoenix, the legendary top-tier beast spirit!"

"My God, she's already a Soul King! How is that possible?!"

"Cangnan Academy is probably in trouble now. They have absolutely no chance of winning against such an opponent."

The audience was filled with awe and wonder as they murmured among themselves.

The members of Cangnan Academy couldn't help but show despair after witnessing Shui Bing'er's martial soul and soul rings.

They knew that the outcome of this match was already decided from the moment Shui Bing'er released her martial soul.

Shui Bing'er's appearance was so stunning that everyone overlooked the existence of her teammates.

When people realized what was happening, they were even more shocked.

Besides Shui Bing'er, five of the other six members of the Tianshui team have reached the level of a fourth-ring Battle Soul Master, while only one is a third-ring Battle Soul Venerable.

Moreover, all seven of them have the best soul ring configuration.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Xueye was both surprised and delighted. He looked at Ning Fengzhi beside him and smiled:

"Sect Leader Ning, this must be the team you have the best hopes for?"
