Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 253 Provocation

The next moment, Shenwei felt the Great Soul Arena suddenly quiet. He turned his head and saw five people walking out of the archway in the direction opposite them.

The once noisy stands fell silent, and in an instant, over 100,000 eyes were fixed on Tang Wulin and his group of five. Even with their excellent composure, the pressure they felt under such intense scrutiny was immense.

Of the five, Xu Lizhi, a food-type Soul Master, was in the worst condition, his face turning slightly pale.

It should be noted that almost all the spectators present were hostile towards them. Each person had a different aura, and when these auras were combined and exerted pressure, they would have a considerable impact on their mental strength and mentality.

Yes, it's not just the people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy who are hostile to Shrek Academy; even ordinary people living in Mingdu are more or less dissatisfied with Shrek Academy.

Tang Wulin took a deep breath, slammed his right foot forward, and a golden halo rose from beneath his feet, radiating brilliance. Instantly, a powerful surge of qi and blood erupted from his body. His entire body suddenly rose several inches taller, and the powerful qi and blood surge radiated outwards.

Seeing the golden spirit rings he released and his suddenly taller body, the oppressive aura emanating from the audience decreased slightly. However, the cursing that had paused earlier quickly intensified exponentially.

"BOOM!!!" A burst of lightning rang out.

"Shut up, all of you!"

The moment the curses began, a bolt of lightning exploded, silencing the audience, followed by a thunderous roar.

The audience, and even the other four members of the Seven Stars of Glory, couldn't help but turn their gazes to Shenwei, filled with astonishment. That voice just now had indeed come from Shenwei.

"If we were to defeat them using such underhanded methods, it would make me extremely unhappy." Kamui's voice wasn't quiet; with the infusion of soul power, it could at least be recorded and broadcast by the venue's broadcasting equipment, if not heard throughout the entire area.

For a moment, the noise in the audience became much quieter, and even Tang Wulin and his group who had walked onto the stage couldn't help but look at Shenwei in surprise.

Unexpectedly, there was someone on the other side who acted with integrity. However, with the other party doing this, it seems that their previous preparations are no longer needed.

Shenwei turned his gaze to Dang Hongchen, who was the referee of this match.

Dang Hongchen smiled helplessly. Indeed, even if they won in the end, it would be considered an unfair victory.

But since this is their home turf, and the people of Mingdu are indeed very dissatisfied with Shrek Academy, this is just a way for the public to complain.

However, since the student had made the request, Dang Hongchen had no choice but to agree.

"Raise the protective shield," Dang Hongchen ordered, waving his hand.

A layer of white, transparent shield slowly rose from all sides. The shield looked almost solid and remained condensed in the air at a height of 100 meters.

The protective shield also has a soundproofing effect, and suddenly, the world became quiet.

"Now, let's announce the competition rules," Dang Hongchen said in a deep voice.

"Wait a minute." Tang Wulin said, then tilted his head, pulled a crumpled piece of paper from each ear, and laughed, "The world is quiet now."

Not only him, but Gu Yue, Ye Xinglan and the others also took out crumpled pieces of paper from their ears.

This was something they had prepared in advance to guard against angry shouts from the audience, but it seems they won't need it now.

Dang Hongchen watched Tang Wulin and the others' actions expressionlessly until they removed the crumpled paper, then continued, "This match is mainly for friendly sparring, but in order to allow both sides to truly demonstrate their abilities..."

As the referee, I will only stop a match or eliminate some players when faced with a serious injury, disability, or death threat.

Ultimately, victory depends on which side has members still capable of fighting even after the other side has been completely wiped out. Do you all understand?

"So you're saying that anything is allowed except killing them, and there are no restrictions, right?" This was an obvious provocation, and Tang Wulin's purpose was to stir up the other party's emotions.

However, Tang Wulin's provocation was clearly very effective.

Upon hearing this, apart from Shenwei, Xue Liushuang, Jian Mochen, Weng Daimin, and Kuang Zhantian all glared at him angrily. However, since Shenwei, as the vice-captain, hadn't said anything, they didn't dare to utter a sound.

"Interesting. If that's how you want to interpret it, fine. But I hope your skills can really match your mouth. Otherwise, don't come crying to your elders after I beat you down." Shenwei clenched his fists and bumped them together before speaking to Tang Wulin and the others.

"I think you should be prepared for that too, after all, the difference between the First Academy and the 'Second' Academy is not small," Tang Wulin retorted directly, emphasizing his accent when he mentioned the Second Academy.

"By the way, although we represent the academy, what I just said is also true; we are among the worst in the academy," Tang Wulin emphasized deliberately.

Dang Hongchen gave Tang Wulin a deep look. He was young, but his shamelessness was truly a direct inheritance from Shrek Academy. "Now, both sides register, and then the competition will begin."

"Tang Wulin, Class 1, First Year, Outer Division, Shrek Academy."

"Shenwei Kamui, vice captain of the Seven Stars of Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."

Upon hearing Shenwei's introduction, Tang Wulin frowned. Vice Captain?

"Gu Yue".

"Ye Xinglan".

"Thank you, Xie."

"Xu Lizhi".

The four people from Shrek Academy stepped forward at the same time and said.

"Snowflakes and Frost".

"Jian Mochen".

"Berserk Heaven".

"Weng Daimin".

The other four members of the Seven Stars of Glory followed suit. Neither side revealed their type of Soul Master; they simply stated their names.

"Both sides retreat, prepare for the match. Retreat distance: 100 meters."

Both sides slowly retreated. Tang Wulin's previously indifferent expression had also quietly disappeared. This time, his opponent looked to be about the same age as them.

Each of them exudes a different aura, and since we're on their home turf, they're definitely not easy to deal with; we have to be very careful.

As both sides retreated, they also adopted their respective formations, which were both standard triangular battle formations.

Shenwei and Tang Wulin each stood at the very front of the battle formation.

The 100-meter distance was quickly covered, and the two stared at each other.

"The match begins!"

With a loud shout from Dang Hongchen, the match representing the clash between the two academies finally began.
