Chapter 320 A Complete Victory in One Minute (Part 2)

On the viewing platform specially provided for the participating academies, Flander stood up with a smile on his face and said to the master and Liu Erlong, "I'll take my leave first."

Liu Erlong asked in confusion, "Boss Fu, where are you going?"

Flander chuckled. "With the little monsters performing so well, our costumes are sorted out. I think anyone with a discerning eye can see the power of Shrek Academy. I'll have to think carefully about the costume fee; I'll set a high price and make some money for the academy. This time, it'll be impossible for our academy's reputation not to be renowned."

Flander tugged at the front of his shirt, deliberately making the Shrek Academy insignia more prominent. He hadn't felt this triumphant in a long time. He had never forgotten the humiliation inflicted upon him by the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but at this moment, the gloom that had been weighing on his heart had vanished. He knew very well that Tang San and Dai Mubai, leading the students, had defeated their opponents with such overwhelming force, even resorting to their fourth spirit skills to achieve a complete victory, not because they were angered by their opponents, but because they were doing it for him, for Shrek Academy, to vent their anger.

Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, that damned Prince Xue Xing, you wanted to drive us away, didn't you? Fine, then I'll make sure you don't even get past the preliminaries.

The seven members of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy's second team all suffered multiple fractures, injuries that couldn't be healed in just a few days. Without these seven key players, can the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy's second team still emerge victorious from the preliminaries?

Flander hadn't felt this good in a long time. At this moment, even the usually money-loving Flander was considering whether to give all his GG fees to those cute little monsters.

"Third Brother, you guys are awesome!" The fat guy rushed up and gave Tang San a bear hug. "Let's see if the Heaven Dou Royal Academy dares to underestimate us now."

Tang San smiled slightly and said, "But we've also revealed our strength. The teams behind us will definitely devise tactics to counter us."

Oscar laughed and said, "In the face of absolute strength, even the best tactics may not be useful. If all else fails, we Shrek Seven Devils will all step in and let them see it clearly."

As he spoke, he deliberately tugged at his team uniform, "So what if it's shit green? As long as we win, any color doesn't matter."

"Let's go. Let's get back to the academy first. I don't want to be surrounded by people as soon as I step out." Dai Mubai called out to everyone and led the Shrek Academy team members quickly into the contestant passage. They quietly left the competition venue.

To avoid becoming the center of attention, after returning to the rest area, the group unhesitatingly changed out of their dingy green team uniforms and into their own clothes before leaving the Great Soul Arena. Because they left quickly, the audience was only just beginning to disperse when they exited the arena. Today was merely the beginning; tomorrow would mark the true start of this preliminary round. The round-robin tournament would then commence, lasting a full month.

By now, the Shrek Seven Devils were increasingly understanding the benefits of the special training they had received from their master. With their previous experience of a month-long battle at the Soto Grand Arena, the upcoming match would be even easier than before.

"Rongrong." Just as Shrek Academy and his group stepped out of the Great Soul Arena and were about to return directly to the academy, a familiar voice made them stop.

Ning Fengzhi, now dressed in ordinary clothes, stood in a corner not far from the entrance and waved to them.

"Dad!" Ning Rongrong excitedly ran over and threw herself into her father's arms.

Upon meeting the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Oscar couldn't help but feel somewhat awkward.

Ning Fengzhi walked over, holding Ning Rongrong's hand. "Hello, children from Shrek Academy."

Although they were quite far apart, the Shrek Seven Devils and their four substitutes all recognized their sect leader and quickly bowed in respect.

Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "No need to be so polite. Now I am just Rongrong's father. Please don't treat me as some kind of sect leader. I am just your elder."

Ning Fengzhi's approachable manner undoubtedly won the favor of the Shrek Academy team members. Ning Fengzhi's gaze fell on Tang San, and he smiled slightly, saying, "Congratulations, Little San. I didn't expect that you would already possess a ten-thousand-year soul ring."

Tang San said, "Uncle Ning, you flatter me. Rongrong has already obtained her fourth spirit ring. We just didn't let her participate today to conserve her strength."

Ning Fengzhi smiled and nodded, saying, "I have high hopes for you. Perhaps only in the finals will you meet your true opponents. However, although you have the strength, you still need to guard against arrogance and impetuosity. I understand why you injured your opponent today, but it's best to avoid such situations in the future. After all, Shrek Academy is one of the advanced Soul Master academies, and making too many enemies is not good. You don't need to worry about the Heaven Dou Royal Academy; I've already spoken to His Majesty. His Majesty is also extremely dissatisfied with Prince Xue Xing's actions back then. If it weren't for the fact that registration couldn't be changed after it was done, His Majesty would have even considered letting you return to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

Tang San said calmly, "We are doing very well at Shrek Academy. Thank you, Uncle Ning."

Ning Fengzhi said, "I should be thanking you. Your hidden weapons are all of very high quality. If you have any new research in the future, be sure to come to your uncle first. You can name your terms."

As he spoke, Ning Fengzhi released his daughter's hand, patted her head, and said, "Go back to the academy with your friends. You are a member of Shrek Academy, and Dad is a member of the competition organizing committee, so I can't spend too much time with you, otherwise people will say I'm showing favoritism."

Ning Rongrong pouted unhappily and said, "Let them say what they want. We speak with our strength."

Ning Fengzhi smiled gently, "Fourteen is quite a young lady now, so don't be so naughty in the future. By the way, before you leave, aren't you going to introduce your friends to me?"

Looking at the hopeful expression on Ning Fengzhi's face, apart from the Shrek Seven Devils, only Tailong among the four substitute members could remain calm, while the other three had a burning light in their eyes.

Who was this person before them? He was one of the three sect leaders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, a paradise coveted by countless soul masters. Not only did it enjoy an excellent reputation and formidable strength in the soul master world, but it was also known as the wealthiest sect in the world. As a soul master, if one could attach oneself to this sect, one would have nothing to worry about in this life.

Ning Rongrong's gaze swept over her companions, and when it met Oscar's, a hint of panic rose in her heart.

"Dad, this Sister Jiangzhu is our senior, a level 35 healing-type Soul Master. She was also on the field just now."

Jiangzhu quickly bowed to Ning Fengzhi, saying, "How dare I, a junior, call myself a support-type weapon spirit master in front of Sect Master Ning?"

Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly. Although he was over fifty years old, he looked only about thirty. His mature charm made Jiangzhu lower her head and dare not look at him.

"Miss Jiangzhu's martial soul is quite unique. As long as she focuses on developing healing abilities, her future will definitely be bright."

"Thank you for your guidance, Sect Leader Ning." Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Jiangzhu's pretty face flushed slightly. She was already nineteen, a true young woman. For a girl like her, powerful strength and a man's mature charm were the greatest attractions. Looking up at Ning Fengzhi again, her face turned even redder.

Ning Rongrong continued, "This senior Huang Yuan's martial soul is Lone Wolf, a level 35 power-attack type battle soul master. Senior Jing Ling's martial soul is Skeleton, an agility-attack type battle soul master. And you've met Brother Tai Long before, a direct descendant of the Power Clan, a level 38 pure strength-type battle soul master."

As Ning Rongrong introduced them, Ning Fengzhi nodded to each of them and offered a few words of encouragement.

Ning Rongrong then introduced her fellow Shrek Seven Devils, pointing to Dai Mubai and saying, "Boss Dai, the eldest brother of our Shrek Seven Devils, and also the team captain. His nickname is Evil-Eyed White Tiger. Although Boss Dai is only seventeen years old this year, he is already a level forty-four Battle Soul Master. He's a power-attack type. He's the strongest among us."

Dai Mubai's emotions did not change because of Ning Fengzhi's identity. He looked directly at the sect leader with his evil eyes and said, "I dare not claim to be the strongest. In a one-on-one fight, I can't beat Xiao San."

Seventeen years old and level 44? Truly a little monster. Ning Fengzhi didn't hide his admiration. "I saw your entire battle just now. Young man, your martial soul and soul skills are quite outstanding. To have achieved such results at seventeen is truly astonishing. I wonder if you would be interested in visiting our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School after this competition."

Hearing Ning Fengzhi extend an olive branch to Dai Mubai, Huang Yuan, Jing Ling, and Jiang Zhu couldn't help but show a hint of envy.

To their surprise, Dai Mubai calmly shook his head and said, "I appreciate Uncle Ning's kindness. I will definitely visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the future." Although he did not refuse to go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, his first words were undoubtedly a rejection of Ning Fengzhi's invitation.
