Chapter 191 Seven Monsters Battle Against the Emperor (Part 2)

In the main arena, there are twelve premium VIP rooms and three hundred and twenty regular VIP rooms, and these rooms are almost never empty. The premium VIP rooms all have their own owners, while the regular VIP rooms are booked out at the beginning of each year.

Suddenly, the already bright golden lights in the central arena increased in brightness again, and all the light no longer scattered in all directions but concentrated on the arena, like a giant spotlight casting a golden beam of light down from the sky, completely enveloping the arena. Just from this single lighting-type soul tool, one could see how wealthy the arena was.

In the center of the Soul Battle Arena, a circular area with a diameter of two meters suddenly bulged up from the ground. As it slowly rose, a thick golden pillar could be seen supporting the rising circle, and a woman was leaning against that golden pillar.

The young woman appeared to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in an elegant white dress and with long, wavy brown hair. She held a cone-shaped megaphone in her hand and wore a professional smile on her pretty face.

"It's an honor to see you all again, distinguished guests." The woman in the white dress stepped out after the platform rose to its position, spun around once, and waved to the surrounding stands. The platform that had carried her up then quietly descended and quickly returned to its normal position, leaving not a trace.

"It is my honor to once again host the team battle Soul Tournament in the main arena for all of you distinguished guests. I hope you all enjoy yourselves tonight. Tonight's event will be a highlight, and we have only arranged this one Soul Battle tonight. Although both opponents are only at the Soul Master level, they have both already earned the honor of the Silver Soul Battle Badge. If I had to give them a title, I think the word 'genius' would be very fitting. I will provide commentary for you throughout the entire event. Now, let me introduce the two opponents to you."

"Royal Fighting Team, Captain: Yu Tianheng, Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Soul Master..."

"Shrek Seven Devils Team, Captain: Evil-Eyed White Tiger, White Tiger Soul Master..."

The woman in the white dress who was hosting the event skillfully introduced the situation of both sides. Her goal was simple: to create a sense of anticipation among every VIP audience member present.

"Alright, enough said. Now, let's welcome both teams to the stage. DouDou is also a Soul Master at the Soul Venerable level, and I'm really eager to see what kind of amazing performance these Soul Masters of the same level as DouDou will deliver."

As she spoke, a burst of white light suddenly erupted from the host, DouDou. Then, a strand of white appeared in her long, wavy brown hair, and a pair of pure white wings quietly extended from her back. Three yellow spirit rings appeared on her body at the same time, and the third spirit ring shone brightly. With a light flap of her wings, she actually took off into the air with her megaphone spirit tool.

Just as DouDou herself said, she is also a Soul Master at the Soul Venerable level. Although her third Soul Ring isn't the optimal thousand-year level, the ability it grants her is clearly flight, which is extremely important for a Soul Master with a flight-type Martial Soul. DouDou's Martial Soul is a cute, gentle animal symbolizing peace: a white dove.

On either side of the arena, two doors opened silently at the same time, and the players from both sides entered simultaneously, walking towards the center of the arena.

On the left, the Royal Fighting Team was approaching. Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Master Yu Tianheng led the way, with Dugu Yan habitually nestled beside him. Following them were the Shi brothers. Then came Black Panther Osro and Wind Chime Bird Yu Feng, and bringing up the rear was the mysterious Nine Heart Begonia Soul Master Ye Lingling.

Compared to the diverse attire of the Royal Fighting Team, the Shrek Seven Devils appeared much more uniform. They wore the same black outfits and green masks. Although their heights varied, they clearly formed a well-organized group.

These clothes were specially made for them by the master. They are only worn during Soul Battles. One reason is to better conceal their true situation, and the other is to make them feel more like a team.

Clothes can cover the body, and masks can conceal the face. But the eyes cannot be concealed.

As soon as the two teams entered the arena, Dai Mubai, who was walking at the front of the Shrek Seven Devils, and Yu Tianheng, the captain of the Royal Fighting Team, had their eyes meet fiercely in mid-air.

For a moment, their eyes froze, and the entire arena seemed to resound with the roars of dragons and tigers.

Yu Tianheng felt a chill run down his spine. When Dai Mubai's sinister eyes met his gaze, he immediately felt an intense pressure bearing down on him. He instantly realized that this opponent, who was only one level below him, was not someone to be trifled with.

They faced each other coldly, their eyes simultaneously flashing with dazzling light. Before the battle even began, their auras were already clashing.

"Attention all Soul Masters participating in this team battle! You now have one minute to summon your Martial Soul. You may attack only when I announce the start. The battle continues until one side surrenders, all members collapse, or fall off the battle platform."

Floating in mid-air, DouDou flapped her snow-white dove wings and spoke to both teams in a soft and beautiful voice.

The gentle voice was a treat for the VIPs in the Grand Arena, but for the Shrek Seven Devils and the Royal Fighting Team, it meant the battle was about to begin.

At the entrance where the two fighting teams appeared, each team leader stood. As the team members faced each other, they naturally saw each other as well.

The Shrek Seven Devils were led by Grandmaster, Flander, and Zhao Wuji. Since they didn't have VIP status, they could only watch from the sidelines. Meanwhile, the Royal Fighting Team was led by Teacher Qin.

Flander spotted Qin Ming a hundred meters away at a glance. His expression changed drastically, then gradually relaxed, his tense emotions seeming to ease considerably. "It seems I don't need to worry this time. Wuji, look over there, who's that?"

Zhao Wuji also saw Qin Ming, and his eyes widened immediately. "How could it be him..."

The master looked at the two of them with suspicion. "You know each other's team leader? What's going on?"

Flander chuckled and said, "It's a secret. We'll talk about it after this battle of spirits is over."

On the central battle arena, almost simultaneously, all fourteen individuals from both sides unleashed their soul power, sending fourteen powerful battle intents soaring into the sky. This startled Dou Dou, the white dove soul master in the air, who quickly increased her altitude. She had seen battles stronger than those below, but such intense battle intent from both sides was extremely rare.

In DouDou's eyes, these fourteen people can only be described with one word: strong.

As the host and commentator, she was now at a loss for words to describe the match. She knew that a fierce battle was about to begin.

A tiger's roar erupted from Dai Mubai's mouth, and a passionate, somewhat scorching aura burst forth from his body. Accompanied by the crackling sound of his bones popping like beans, his muscles swelled instantly, and sharp claws sprang from his tiger paws. Although he wore a mask, his sharp, knife-like eyes were filled with a wild aura.

Led by Dai Mubai, all of the Shrek Seven Devils released their martial souls. Oscar's three kinds of sausages had been distributed to everyone before the battle. He and Ning Rongrong were still standing at the back of the group. Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were on either side of Dai Mubai, and Tang San stood behind the three of them.

Ma Hongjun was positioned slightly ahead of Ning Rongrong and Oscar, with purplish-red flames constantly flickering in his palm.

Blue-purple Blue Silver Grass quietly emerged from around Tang San's body. As his soul power increased and he entered the Soul Master realm, he could release more Blue Silver Grass than before. Blue light flashed continuously in his palm, and the Blue Silver Grass was released as if it were endless, occupying the ground on one side of his side. At the same time, six Blue Silver Grass quietly rose up and wrapped around the waists of the other six members of the Shrek Seven Devils.

Under the influence of the Blue Silver Grass, the seven people instantly formed a unified whole centered around Tang San.

As the Shrek Seven Devils unleashed their martial souls, their opponents naturally wouldn't stand idly by either.

The Royal Fighting Team's formation was completely different from that of the Shrek Seven Devils. Standing at the forefront was not their captain, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Master Yu Tianheng, but rather the two Black Tortoise Soul Masters, the Shi brothers. The two stood on the left and right, and as Dou Dou announced the start of the Soul Battle, they simultaneously roared, and earthen-yellow light rose from beneath their feet. The sound emanating from them was even more intense than the sound of Dai Mubai's bones churning.

Before releasing their martial spirits, the Shi brothers first took off their shirts, revealing their solid, granite-like muscles. As their martial spirits were released, their shoulders slowly leaned forward, their backs arched, and all the earthy yellow light formed by their soul power converged towards their backs, actually forming a huge dark yellow tortoise shell.

The patterns on the tortoise shell were light yellow, and it seemed that the Shi brothers' entire skeletal structure had changed somewhat with the appearance of the tortoise shell.

Not only did tortoise shells appear on their backs, but they also appeared on their fronts, and their limbs shortened as the shells appeared. In the center of the plastron (the area inside the tortoise shell) was a huge symbol.
