'There is really a huge gap between us,'
Huo Yuhao thought, helplessly looking at Xiao Yi standing with a red bloody layer around his body,
"Kid, tell me how much your power you can increase with your first soul skill,"
Instantly a figure with a black beard and disheveled expression appeared in front of Xiao Yi and asked, while drinking wine from his gourd, He is one of the Sea God members, Xuan Zi, the owner of the Taotie Bull martial spirit."
Xiao Yi was startled looking at the Xuan Zi's bright gaze in front of him, and then he replied calmly, "Mr. Xuan Lao, my first soul skill increases my powers by three times."
Xuan Zi was startled, and his brow furrowed, and he muttered, "Three times?" Then he glanced at Xiao Yi and added,
"Release your soul skill and show it to me,"
Xiao Yi nodded and then activated his first soul skill, blood surge.
Xuan Lao started observing the red, bloody layer above his body and then noticed the fast blood flow and soul power in Xiao Yi's body and then nodded satisfied.
"Very well, your martial spirit has a very high potential. Do you want to be my disciple?"
Xuan Lao then asked, looking at him solemnly. Xiao Yi was startled and then shook his head and replied, "I am sorry, Mr. Xuan Lao, I already have a master."
Xuan Lao was startled; even other Shrek students around were startled, and then they glanced at Xiao Yi in surprise.
"It's fine; you have won this competition," Xuan Lao then shook his head, didn't care, waved his hand, and then flew away and disappeared.
Xiao Yi looked at his receding back and then didn't care; then he glanced at the other students standing around, including Huo Yuhao.
They were looking at him strangely; no one expected he would refuse to become an apprentice of a super douluo like Xuan Lao.
Xiao Yi didn't care and just turned around and left the competition ground.
…
The next morning,
Xiao Yi appeared in the Shrek square near the statues of Tang San and others; he glanced at Huo Yuhao and others already standing above the bridge.
He walked toward them, then a surprise flashed through his pupil, seeing only six people standing. One of the original candidates was missing.
"Brother Yi here," Huo Yuhao smiled seeing him arrive and raised his hand toward him. Xiao Yi nodded, appeared beside them, and nodded toward all of them.
'Maybe He Caitou wasn't selected because of me; that Xuan Lao probably added me instead of him. Probably I will become a Shrek seven member also.'
Xiao Yi thought to himself, looking at Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, Bei Bei, Jian Nannan, and Xu Sanshi, six of them one by one,
Swish!
At this moment, Xuan Lao's figure flashed beside them with the iconic gourd in his hand, and then he glanced at all the students, including Xiao Yi.
"I invited you all here in order to tell you about the seven Shrek monsters of our academy,"
Xuan Lao spoke, looking at them, and then gestured at the statues around and started explaining the origin of the seven Shrek monsters. He also revealed that Tang San and his friends were also seven Shrek devils, and every five years, the academy chooses new Shrek seven monster members, though they are reserved.
All the students showed surprised expressions on their faces, including Huo Yuhao, and then they became motivated to become the next seven Shrek monsters.
Xuan Lao then glanced at them and spoke, "Let's go. I will let you meet the current seven Shrek monsters; they are your seniors."
After speaking, he walked forward toward the meeting hall. Xiao Yi and others glanced at each other and followed him.
Upon reaching inside the meeting hall, all seven of them saw another seven males and females of less than twenty years old.
Huo Yuhao and others showed surprised expressions looking at Ma Xiaotao and the other senior Shrek Seven Monsters members.
"Introduce yourself," Xuan Lao then told them to introduce themselves. The senior Shrek seven members nodded and started introducing themselves one by one.
Yao Haoxuan, 55-level control and war spirit king; Ling Luochen, 55-level control war spirit king; Chen Zifeng, 57-level storm attack spirit king; Gongyang Mo, 59-level support spirit king; Xi Xi, 56-level agility attack spirit king; Dai Yueheng, 64-level attack spirit emperor; and finally Ma Xiaotao, 67-level strong attack spirit emperor.
Xiao Yi already knew about their details, while Huo Yuhao and others were very surprised looking at five soul kings and two soul emperor-level senior students, and all of them are under twenty years of age.
"Next, in order to assess you properly and find your teamwork capabilities, I want you to conduct a friendly match."
Xuan Lao spoke after the introduction, then he glanced at Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng and added, "Xiaotao, you select two main members and four reserved members; Yueheng, you choose three main members and three reserved."
Ma Xiaotao nodded and then chose Gongyang Mo and Xi Xi from the main members and Huo Yuhao, Bei Bei, Xiao Yi, and Wang Dong from the reserve members.
Dai Yueheng chose Chen Zifeng, Ling Luochen, and Yao Haoxuan from the main members and Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, and Xiao Xiao from the reserve members.
Soon both teams appeared in the area in front of each other.
Xiao Yi looked at the opposite team and then glanced at Huo Yuhao and others beside him.
Xuan Lao appeared in the middle and spoke, "Friendly match, begin."
Instantly both teams moved and started attacking each other.
Boom! Bang!! Bash!!!
One by one, tools and souls collided. Xiao Yi glanced at the Yao Haoxuan in front of him, releasing his thunderous titan martial spirit and attacking him.
Bang! Bang!! Bang!!!
Xiao Yi dodged and counterattacked with heavy strikes using his Blood Surge x 3 and Force Surge technique, multiplying his power by nine.
