The next morning, Shrek members appeared in the arena; Xiao Yi, standing in the team, glanced at the Shangtian Academy opposite to them.
"Please welcome both teams captains to choose the competition mode." The referee spoke amidst the applause of the audience.
Bei Bei and the captain of the Shangtian Academy appeared on the stage and started the draw.
Instantly the pointer aimed at the round robin 2,2,3 match.
"The next competition is a round robin team match," the referee announced, and the audience cheered up, looking at the stage with excitement.
"Our team is at a disadvantage against them; they have three spirit kings among them, and they will send a spirit king in each match."
Teacher Zhou Yi spoke solemnly, looking at Huo Yuhao and others, then she shook her head and added firmly, "But I won't give up."
Huo Yuhao and others fell into hesitation, and then they nodded and expressed their firmness and assured that they would do their best and wouldn't give up before trying.
Xiao Yi glanced at them speechlessly. 'Why do they forget me every time? I can easily deal with three spirit kings on my own.'
He thought to himself and then shook his head and didn't care.
Soon the first match began, and Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan went on the stage against the second strongest spirit king, a reserve member in the Shangtian team.
After almost being on the verge of losing against their opponents' tactics and strength, Xu Sanshi turned the table by using his divine turtle bloodline and created an opportunity for Jiang Nannan to strike.
After combining their strength, they narrowly defeated the opponent stronger than them.
"Xiao Yi and Xiao Xiao, it's your turn next,"
Teacher Zhou Yi spoke, looking at them both. Xiao Xiao was startled and then nodded, looking at Xiao Yi.
"Brother Yi, do your best," Huo Yuhao cheered him up, looking at him.
Xiao Yi nodded, looking at them, and then turned around and walked toward the stage along with Xiao Xiao.
"I will use my martial spirit to distract them, and then you can attack them directly,"
Xiao Xiao spoke, looking at him cautiously, as it was her first time cooperating with Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi glanced at the spirit king on the opposite side and replied calmly, "You don't have to try harder; I can deal with them both on my own. Also, if you really want to support me, then try using your cauldron against that reserve member; the spirit king can easily shatter your martial spirit."
Instantly the Xiao Xiao was startled, and then she nodded solemnly and stood a little behind him, looking at the two opponents opposite to them.
"Zhangtian Academy, Tang Xiaolei/Xue Long,"
Both opponents introduced themselves. Xiao Yi and Xiao Xiao glanced at them and replied, "Xiao Yi/Xiao Xiao from Shrek."
"Let the match begin," the referee announced.
Tang Xiaolei directly summoned his bow martial spirit and aimed in the direction of Xiao Yi, while Xue Long directly moved toward Xiao Xiao with dual blades in his hand.
'It seems they know my details; anyway, they don't know me,' Xiao Yi thought to himself, and then a smile appeared on his face, and he activated the heart martial spirit.
Instantly four rings appeared floating around him: yellow, yellow, purple, and black.
"Four rings—when did Brother Yi absorb the fourth ring?" Huo Yuhao spoke with a thoughtful expression on his face; even Teacher Zhou Yi and others were surprised, looking at him.
The next moment the first soul ring of Xiao Yi lit up.
Blood Surge x4!
Force Surge x4!
Instantly a red mist flashed around his body, and his figure flickered and appeared in front of Xue Long.
Instantly both Tang Xiaolei's and Xue Long's eyes widened seeing the arrow dissipating in Xiao Yi's hand.
"Impossible, no one can catch my arrow barehanded," Tang Xiaolei exclaimed in disbelief; the next moment, the Xue Long figure expanded in his vision.
Bang!!!
Upon collision, both of them flew back and fell outside the ring.
Spurt!
"Ahhhhhh," x2
Instantly both of them spurted out blood from their mouths and screamed, feeling as if their bones were dislocated.
"It was easier than I thought,"
Xiao Yi commented calmly, standing on the stage, then retracted his martial spirit, turned around, walked past the dazed Xiao Xiao, and returned to the Shrek team.
Instantly all the audience returned to their senses and cheered excitedly; even the referee and other academy members returned to their senses and glanced at the direction of Xiao Yi solemnly.
"The winner of the second round is Shrek,"
The referee directly announced, and the Shangtian Academy members expressions became ugly, and then the captain spoke, "We give up."
"The Shengtian academy gives up; Shrek gained all the remaining score and won the competition." The referee then announced, and the Shrek members cheered.
"Good job," Teacher Zhou Yi nodded in praise, looking at Xiao Yi and Xiao Xiao. Huo Yuhao and others also nodded and congratulated them.
"I didn't do anything," Xiao Xiao spoke embarrassedly.
"Don't worry about that; it's just I didn't realize his potential before. His speed even reached the level of spirit saint," Teacher Zhou Yi then commented, looking at Xiao Yi.
"Spirit Saint," Instantly Huo Yuhao and others exclaimed in shock, looking at him.
Xiao Yi shook his head and replied,
"It's not that high; after reaching the soul ancestor realm, my first soul skill increases my power by four times, and along with the usage of my self-created skill, it can reach sixteen times, equal to a proper soul emperor realm,"
Instantly the Shrek members fell silent after hearing his words, and then Teacher Zhou Yi nodded and spoke.
"We will talk about that later; now everyone return and prepare for the next competition."
Huo Yuhao and others nodded, and then all of them left the spectators' area.
