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

Chapter 98 The Show Begins

Meanwhile, on the other side, Wu Changkong and the members of Class Zero he led were watching the arena in astonishment.

Youth group vs. Junior group?

Tang Wulin glanced at Xu Xiaoyan beside him with some surprise. She had indeed guessed right. The higher-ups of the Tianhai Alliance had indeed considered the issue of confidence. However, if the youth group lost to the junior group, I'm afraid…

Representing the Tianhai Alliance are the seven students from Tianhai Academy, the reigning youth group champions. They are all over twenty years old this year and can only participate in the adult group competition.

They were all dressed in silver team uniforms, looking dashing and spirited. Five men and two women moved in perfect unison, clearly well-trained and strong. Each of them was full of energy, with a hint of excitement in their eyes.

To Tang Wulin's surprise, the people coming up from the other side of the arena were all people he didn't recognize. They were wearing green sportswear and looked to be around fourteen or fifteen years old.

He recognized the two people walking at the very back at a glance. In fact, they had just had a disagreement with the girl named Ye Xinglan.

Compared to the others, they were noticeably younger and stood out on the competition stage.

"Hey, it's those two. Why are they on stage too?" Xie Xie recognized them naturally.

Xu Xiaoyan stared blankly and said, "We're all about the same age, how come there's such a big difference?"

Yes! They're both ten years old, but they're already able to perform on stage in exhibition matches. More importantly, being on stage means they represent the legendary Shrek Academy!

The two sides greeted each other on stage. The seven members of the Tianhai Alliance were clearly a head taller than their opponents, and the age difference was obvious.

That's an age difference of more than five years!

On Shrek Academy's side, the leader was a boy of about fifteen years old. His appearance wasn't particularly outstanding, but he possessed an indescribable aura. Standing there, despite his young age, he was as steady as a mountain, and with just a few steps forward, he immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

Inside the lounge, Nan Fusheng was intently watching the screen. Even though he had winning strategies, it was never a bad thing to learn more.

Seven against seven is the most mainstream team battle, and it has been proven over tens of thousands of years that this number of players is most conducive to the performance of Soul Masters.

Those on stage represent the best of both age groups, especially the teenagers from Shrek Academy. Just how strong are they?

Both sides gave brief self-introductions, letting Nan Fusheng know that the leading boy from Shrek Academy was named Yuan Tingyue. Also present were Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi, two of the future Shrek Seven Devils.

The referee was an elderly man with a profound aura, clearly possessing considerable cultivation.

"The competition begins!"

The arena wasn't particularly large, smaller than the area where Nan Fusheng and his group usually practiced their sparring. This was due to time constraints, as the setup time was too short.

Therefore, the entire competition platform was only about fifty meters in diameter. While fourteen people on the platform didn't seem crowded, it wasn't particularly spacious either.

The moment the referee announced the start of the match, the seven members of Shrek Academy were the first to make their move.

The first to make a move was none other than Xu Lizhi.

With a flick of his right hand, the spirit rings beneath his feet flashed, and two yellow spirit rings rose up. The first spirit ring blinked, as if something had flown out of his hand. Through the camera's playback, Nan Fusheng could clearly see that it was a steamed bun.

The other six each took one and put it in their mouths. Another teenage girl gave a clear shout, and three spirit rings rose from beneath her feet—two yellow and one purple, the optimal spirit ring combination. A light shone on her right hand.

It was a pagoda, seven stories high. With the soul rings swirling around it, the bottom three stories shone simultaneously, turning into three beams of light that landed on the young man named Yuan Tingyue who was rushing to the front.

The youth let out a long dragon roar, and his body suddenly swelled, especially his arms, which became exceptionally thick. Four spirit rings rose from beneath his feet—two yellow, one purple, and one black—incredibly, ten-thousand-year spirit rings.

Immediately afterwards, thunder roared, and then the image on the screen began to blur.

"Damn it, what's the point of showing this to people? Terrible!" Nan Fusheng complained. From the image on the screen, everything on the arena seemed to be distorted by that layer of blue-purple lightning.

Of the seven people representing the Tianhai Alliance, three had four-ring soul rings, and the other four had three-ring soul rings. The three four-ring soul rings all had a combination of two yellow and two purple soul rings, and their soul spirits were not clearly visible.

On the surface, they seemed to have the upper hand, but Nan Fusheng knew they had already lost.

Sure enough, the lightning did not gradually disappear after it erupted; instead, it seemed to grow stronger and stronger.

Although it was not clear on the soul guide screen, there was still a faint image. It seemed that something was rampaging through the lightning, and there was also a faint dragon's roar, as if it were a thunder dragon.

That's all he can see and hear through the screen, and then... that's it.

The match ended about a minute later.

The seven players representing the Tianhai Alliance were all lying on the competition stage, while the players representing Shrek Academy maintained their original formation, with the youngest, Xu Lizhi, and Ye Xinglan at the very back. Ye Xinglan, it seemed, hadn't made a single move from beginning to end.

Meanwhile, few people in the audience saw what happened clearly. They only saw a burst of intense blue light explode in the center of the arena, followed by huge bolts of lightning engulfing the entire arena.

Finally, the seven members of the Tianhai Alliance fell, and the entire stadium fell silent. For a moment, the stadium, which could hold 80,000 people, was completely silent.

Fighting across age groups, and they couldn't even last a minute? This was practically a massacre. The Tianhai Alliance players didn't even perform to their full potential.

Shrek Academy's attack was incredibly fast, like a raging storm. That sudden burst of power was like a dragon awakening on the competition stage, devouring its opponent in an extremely short time.

The young man representing Shrek Academy bowed slightly in greeting, then prepared to lead his team off the stage.

Suddenly, a new person appeared on the arena. "Greetings, everyone! I am one of the organizers of the Tianhai Alliance Grand Tournament. As you have all witnessed, these young men and women from Shrek Academy possess astonishing strength."

"To be honest, I didn't expect that, with an age difference of more than five years, our Tianhai Alliance's last champion couldn't even last a minute. Shrek Academy truly deserves to be called the number one academy on the continent. Let's applaud them."

As he spoke, the high-ranking member of the Tianhai Alliance took the lead in applauding, and as if it were a chain reaction, thunderous applause gradually rose from the stands, and people couldn't help but shout "Shrek, Shrek!"

The seven boys and girls still standing on the arena, though somewhat surprised by this scene, still stood tall and accepted the applause of the audience, because they were students of Shrek Academy, the number one academy on the continent.

Ye Xinglan was the most enthusiastic among them. For her, Shrek Academy was her home, and now that she had brought glory to this home, how could she not be happy?

"However," the high-ranking official from the Tianhai Alliance changed his tone, "just now, a team submitted an application to me; they also want to fight against the top students from Shrek Academy."

"Originally, I disagreed with this. Shrek Academy came from afar at our invitation. How could they so easily fight against others, especially since they were supposed to go through a battle anyway?"

"If we won through a series of battles, wouldn't it make us look like we're bullying others? However, the battle we just fought changed my mind. The students from Shrek Academy showed us their monstrous strength."

They defeated the previous youth group champion in less than a minute. I believe none of you viewers clearly saw the fight just now.

"Now I ask you, do you want to see another battle?"
