Douluo Continent: I, Long Aotian, will not be a supporting character.

The moment the referee raised his hand, both teams had already taken their positions, and the battle was about to begin.

The seven participating team members from Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy had already set up their formation, which was a typical traditional team battle formation.

The three Soul Masters in front were either offensive or defensive Soul Masters.

The two Soul Masters stood on either side, slightly behind, and were probably of the Agility/Attack type.

The last two Soul Masters stood in the center, one in front of the other, presumably a control-type and a support-type Soul Master, respectively.

This arrangement, tested and proven by countless Soul Masters' combat experience, is the most suitable for seven-person team battles, prioritizing stability. It is also the mainstream team battle mode on the continent today.

On the other hand, Shrek Academy set up an incomprehensible formation.

Of the seven members of the Shrek Academy reserve team, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong stood in the center, while the remaining five formed a semi-circle, with Cao Jinxuan in the center, Bei Bei and He Caitou on the right, and Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan on the left. The five of them partially surrounded Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong in front, creating a situation where stars surrounded the moon.

This formation gives the impression that the five people at the back are supporting and encouraging the two people in front, as if only the two of them are going to fight.

Everyone who witnessed this scene was baffled. What kind of formation was this? What was the Shrek team trying to do?

Although the referee was also surprised by Shrek's formation, he was bound by his duty, so after a moment of surprise, he lowered his hand and announced the official start of the match.

For the referee, the formation is not his concern; his job is simply to ensure the smooth running of the match.

The moment the referee announced the start, both teams released their respective martial spirits at the same time.

Of the seven members of the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy, five have reached the fourth ring level, while only two are at the third ring level.

The leader, Captain Zhao Jia, had the most obvious fluctuations in soul power, clearly indicating that he had reached the advanced Soul Master level. At the age of twenty, reaching this level was still quite remarkable.

However, in the competition, the strength of Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy can only be described as mediocre.

However, at this moment, no one paid attention to the situation at Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy. Almost everyone's attention was focused on Shrek Academy, or more precisely, on Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong in front of them.

An indescribable, terrifying pressure suddenly appeared on the Soul Battle Stage.

A crimson light illuminated the entire Soul Arena in an instant, unleashing an aura of cruelty, slaughter, chaos, and bewilderment.

One, two, three, four, five, six—a total of six blood-red spirit rings appeared on Huo Yuhao, and the same six blood-red spirit rings also appeared on Wang Dong.

What does red signify? It represents the pinnacle of spirit rings, signifies 100,000 years, and proclaims immense power!

At this moment, it actually appeared on Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, who were only twelve or thirteen years old.

Moreover, he is a six-ring Soul Emperor, with each ring being a 100,000-year Soul Ring. It should be noted that many Title Douluos do not even possess a 100,000-year Soul Ring.

One of the six crimson spirit rings suddenly shone brightly at that moment. The seven students from the Heavenly Spirit Advanced Spirit Master Academy opposite them almost simultaneously let out a muffled groan.

The sudden appearance of six 100,000-year spirit rings was shocking to the audience, let alone the already tense students of Tianling Academy on stage.

When they sensed that terrifying aura, almost everyone quickly retreated and huddled together.

Suddenly, for some reason, fear appeared in everyone's eyes, and their bodies froze.

At that moment, a pair of enormous blue-gold wings, radiating dazzling brilliance, unfolded behind Huo Yuhao. The perfect combination of blue and gold, exuding a dazzling golden flame, instantly became the focus of everyone's attention.

The two figures merged instantly. The crimson spirit ring vanished in that instant, replaced by a gigantic golden vertical eye.

The dazzling blue, purple, and gold light almost instantly spanned half of the competition venue, and the tail of the light struck the seven Tianling Academy team members who were gathered together.

Everyone who stared at the golden vertical eye felt a momentary panic. Then they saw the arena seem to be split apart by the dazzling light.

The beam of light was nearly seventy meters long and three meters wide. The three-colored halos rose slowly after erupting. None of the seven students from Tianling Academy managed to dodge it. As the three-colored flames faded, a long, two-foot-deep golden path, radiating a dazzling brilliance, was left on the arena.

Of the seven students from Tianling Academy, two with three spirit rings collapsed almost instantly, their bodies exploding with colorful light, seemingly as if their protective spirit tools had shattered one by one. The other five were also completely transformed into golden statues, their spirit rings vanished, and their martial spirits were sealed.

The golden vertical eye disappeared, and the two of them reappeared with twelve dazzling blood-red halos.

Huo Yuhao stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes filled with arrogance, and said calmly to the referee who was standing there dumbfounded, "The match is over."

"Huh?" The referee finally realized what was happening. On the other side, the teacher in charge of the Tianling Academy team had already gone up to the stage, picked up the two fallen three-ring players, and jumped off the stage to check on their condition.

The golden color on everyone remained undiminished. As they jumped off the stage, the 108 Soul Masters responsible for protecting the arena also withdrew their Soul Power. Clearly, the match was indeed over.

The Star Luo Square, which could accommodate hundreds of thousands of spectators, including the Star Luo Empire's royal family, civil and military officials, and more than a hundred other advanced soul masters and soul master academies, was completely silent at this moment.

Those who had previously doubted Shrek Academy sending a reserve team now stared wide-eyed at the deep golden cleavage on the competition stage.

They were even unable to breathe and had difficulty swallowing.

Countless people cried out "Impossible!" when they saw six 100,000-year spirit rings, but at that moment, their "impossible" was mixed with hesitation, shock, fear, or even hysterical excitement.

Shrek Academy, this is Shrek Academy. The number one on the continent, invincible Shrek Academy.

Huo Yuhao slowly turned around. Facing the bustling Star Luo Square to the south, he said in a deep voice, "Remember, I come from Shrek Academy, from the Tang Sect!"

After saying this, the six blood-red spirit rings on Huo Yuhao's body, which made it difficult to breathe and chill the body, instantly disappeared.
