Douluo Continent: The Phoenix God Returns

Chapter 32 Battle Spirit

Tang San and Xiao Wu chose to participate in the two-on-two Soul Battle first, and then the one-on-one battle, naturally separating them from the other six. Oscar and Ning Rongrong had to wait until Ye Li and the other two finished their one-on-one Soul Battles, so they also went to Zone 1 first.

Flander and Zhao Wuji followed the side with more people into the one-on-one battle arena, while Grandmaster followed Tang San and Xiao Wu to the two-on-two battle arena.

Standing in the middle of the field, Ye Li chuckled at the other person's trembling appearance: "You're practically shaking like a leaf, and you still came to participate in the competition? I'm in a bit of a hurry, sorry."

Ye Li sent her opponent down without even unleashing her martial spirit.

Perhaps because the Shrek team had been under pressure for too long, they actually won all the one-on-one and two-on-two battles.

Oscar and Ye Li's combination, which they named Twin-Winged Flame Phoenix, encountered a pair of Soul Masters with both offensive and defensive abilities. Through their skillful teamwork, they sent both of the opposing Soul Masters to their deaths. Together with Ning Rongrong, they formed the Glazed Sword, and with the powerful amplification of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, they won the competition in no time.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's Netherworld White Tiger duo, although they argue fiercely, cooperate perfectly when facing a competition. As for Tang Xiaosan and Xiao Wu's Sanwu duo, Ye Li could easily predict that they would win. If they couldn't win, Tang San should just go back to the furnace for a fresh start.

Six one-on-one matches and four two-on-two matches ended in a perfect victory, giving the Shrek team a perfect start to their battle journey. Apart from Ye Li, today's battle is not over yet, and there is still one last match waiting for them to complete.

Oscar was beaming with pride. He had earned a point in his first battle, so how could he not be excited? Especially since he hadn't done anything except expend some soul power to provide Ye Li with an antidote sausage, and yet Ye Li had already defeated his opponent.

Grandmaster, Flander, and Zhao Wuji couldn't help but nod in approval as they looked at the eight disciples standing before them. The oldest of these young men was only fifteen years old. What more could they ask for than such excellent results in the Soul Arena?

The master said, "Except for Li Ye, you should all go participate in the team battle. Since you registered relatively late, you should be able to participate in the later part of the battle."

Dai Mubai said, "Master, don't you trust our teamwork? With Xiao Ye, that ruthless pre-match strategist, how could we possibly lose?"

Ye Li did not refuse and immediately began her deployment, assigning everyone to their respective positions and making detailed arrangements for their soul skill combinations.

The team battle arena was significantly larger than the one-on-one and two-on-two arena, and the players' rest area was unusually lively. There were at least thirty Soul Masters waiting there.

The Shrek Academy members were scheduled to perform second to last. Before it was their turn, they sat down in a corner to calmly gather their soul power and prepare for the upcoming soul battle.

While everyone was silently cultivating and waiting for their turn, a burly man, over two meters tall and extremely strong, suddenly walked towards them.

"Hey, little girl, you have a nice figure, why are you covering your face? Let your brother take a look." He was talking to Zhu Zhuqing, the most voluptuous of the three girls in the Shrek Seven Devils.

"Get lost—" Zhu Zhuqing's answer was consistent with her usual personality, consisting of only one cold word.

"You're asking for it, aren't you? Little girl, do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like that?" As he spoke, he raised his large hand.

"Get out of here if you don't want to die." Ye Li, who was sitting on the sofa, came to Zhu Zhuqing.

"You're asking for death." The burly man's eyes widened fiercely, and his right hand suddenly swung down, striking at Ye Li.

Ye Li snorted coldly, and her right fist met her opponent's palm from below. With a muffled thud, the big man's body suddenly fell onto the bookshelf behind him, while Ye Li remained motionless.

"Stop!" Just as the two sides were about to clash, a neutral voice suddenly interrupted, "Don't you know that private duels are not allowed in the Soul Battle Preparation Area? That's the rule of the Main Soul Battle Arena. If you want to fight, go to the Soul Battle Stage."

Upon seeing this middle-aged man, the burly man who had been knocked to the ground by Ye Li immediately changed his expression. "Manager Ao, it's my fault. I couldn't hold back for a moment."

The middle-aged man, referred to as Supervisor Ao, looked at the Shrek team members. "You're the newly registered Shrek team, right? Alright, you don't need to argue here. Perfect timing, you'll be opponents on the Soul Arena today. Settle any grudges you have on the Soul Arena."

"Yes, yes, this won't happen again, this won't happen again." Kuangxi's strong physique and his smirking face looked extremely incongruous. When his gaze turned to Ye Li, it immediately turned cold and stern. He pointed a finger at Ye Li and said, "Kid, we'll see about that later. I'll beat you so badly your own mother won't recognize you, or I'm not Kuangxi." After saying that, Kuangxi turned and left.

"If I ever run into him in the Soul Arena, I'll break his fingers one by one. You'll be the first person to point a finger at me." Ye Li's eyes shone with a faint blue light.

Dai Mubai curled his lip. "I didn't expect that our first time stepping onto the Team Battle Soul Platform would result in such a tough nut to crack. It's either death or serious injury? I'd like to see who's going to die or be seriously injured."

"Everyone, come here," Ye Li said in a deep voice.

After everyone gathered around, Ye Li said, "Once we start, we must defeat the opponent's support-type Soul Master. As long as we defeat him, we will definitely win this match."

"Hmm? Why, Xiao Ye?" Dai Mubai asked, puzzled.

"Because the opponent's support-type Soul Master's Martial Soul is the Ruyi Disc, and the fact that they were able to win seven consecutive games means that this Soul Master definitely has a skill that can turn a team around, namely Group Frenzy," Ye Li said.

"Group berserk!"

Everyone was aware of the power of this skill, which amplified the attributes of the entire team, allowing them to exchange reason for absolute power.

"If we can't defeat them, then we'll have to rely on Xiao Ao's third soul skill. No matter how powerful the group berserk mode is, it has a time limit. According to my calculations, it won't last more than two minutes, while Xiao Ao's flying mushroom sausage has a three-minute time limit. So at this point, all we have left is to stall for time. Once the group berserk mode ends, they'll be out of fighting power, and victory will be a piece of cake," Ye Li said.

There were five team battles in the Thirteenth District. The Shrek Seven Devils had a half-hour rest period after the first three battles. Finally, it was their turn to appear. The Shrek Seven Devils walked out of the Soul Master preparation area together with the Berserker Team.

The team battle arena was much larger than the one-on-one and two-on-two arenas, with a diameter of forty meters. The surrounding audience seats were also twice as large. The arena was now full. There were traces of blood on the arena, clearly left from the previous team battles.

The moment the Berserkers appeared, they ignited the audience's frenzy, with loud cheers resounding throughout the stadium.

"Tear them apart...kill them..."

"The fourth match is a team battle. The two teams facing off are the Berserker Team and the Shrek Team."

Whether it was because the Mad Warriors had too many supporters or because the Shrek Warriors' masks gave the audience a bad feeling, as soon as the host announced their names, a chorus of boos erupted from the audience.

"Keep laughing, they won't be able to laugh in a bit," Ye Li said helplessly as she returned to Flanders' stand.
