However, the three academies that Azure Radiance Academy defeated were Elephant Armor, Thunder, and Blazing Fire.
Apart from that, Azure Radiance Academy maintained a perfect record.
And Shrek had not yet encountered any of the Five Elemental Academies.
The strength of Azure Radiance Academy could be said to be second only to the Five Elemental Academies and Shrek, making them a team with the potential to advance.
Because of this, this match was crucial for Azure Radiance Academy.
Shrek had already defeated one of the Five Elemental Academies. If they were defeated again, their chances of advancing would be almost zero.
They only had a chance to fight for the last qualifying spot if they defeated Shrek.
And for Shrek, this match was equally important. Defeating Azure Radiance Academy here would allow them to further seize the initiative in advancing.
Conversely, their chances of being eliminated would greatly increase.
"The first match of the fourteenth day is about to begin.
Please, contestants, enter the arena."
Under the Master of Ceremonies' explanation, the ten teams began to enter.
The central Arena for the first group was occupied by Shrek and Azure Radiance.
Even with Heavenly Water Academy in the same group, the organizers still arranged for these two academies to be in the central Arena.
And the audience did not feel dissatisfied because of this.
From this, it could be seen that everyone understood the importance of this duel.
"Azure Radiance Academy has changed four members at once. Are they showing their trump card? This battle should be more than we imagined..."
On the viewing platform, Quan Yi quickly noticed the change in Azure Radiance's personnel through memory comparison.
"You even remember this. Don't tell me you even remember the names of the members?"
Huo Wu marveled at Quan Yi's memory. Her own memory was not bad, but it was only for things she was interested in.
As for Azure Radiance Academy, her attention was almost zero, especially after seeing Shi Nian's true nature. Her overall favorability towards Azure Radiance Academy dropped to the lowest point.
Quan Yi was noncommittal about Huo Wu's complaint.
Indeed, he had memorized the names of all the participating members, whether they were on the field or not.
Because, even now, his Vibration Perception was still in effect.
At the same time, he would also exercise his Vibration Perception ability by memorizing complex information. This had basically become Quan Yi's instinct.
So, don't look at him standing still, but his brain never stopped for a moment.
In this process, Quan Yi could hear a lot of information that ordinary people could not hear.
Back then, he knew in advance that Shi Nian would attack Tang San because he had heard Shi Nian reveal his hostility, even killing intent, towards Shrek when talking with the members of Azure Radiance Academy.
"Oh, Shrek has also made personnel adjustments, sending out the Agility Attack System girl with the Netherworld Cat Martial Soul."
"Is Shrek using the trump card of Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"
Huo Wu's memory of Shrek was very clear, although Zhu Zhuqing had come off the bench in the battle against Elephant Armor Academy.
But because of Tang San's strategy, they quickly ended the battle before they could show anything.
Seeing both sides sending out their all-out postures, Huo Wu and Quan Yi's attention obviously increased by a level.
At the referee's command, the highly anticipated central arena erupted with brilliant colors and a powerful collision of auras.
Everyone could see the mutual dislike and incompatibility between the two sides.
However, this was a good thing for the audience; the more intense the battle, the more exciting the match.
Soul Rings flickered, Martial Souls were summoned.
To everyone's surprise, among the members of Azure Radiance Academy, there was actually a level 30 Soul Ancestor whose Soul Ring configuration had not reached the optimal level.
Yellow, Yellow, Yellow.
This Soul Ring configuration was much weaker than the replaced lineup.
However, during the preparation phase, they did not choose to release their Martial Souls, but instead, quickly gathered together.
Their only level 40 Soul Elder captain stood at the front, while behind him, six members formed a hexagonal formation, wary of the seven members of Shrek.
Seeing this, Quan Yi frowned slightly and quietly activated his Purple-Gold Dragon Eyes.
"What did you see?"
Huo Wu noticed Quan Yi and asked curiously.
Although the members sent by Azure Radiance Academy exceeded her expectations, she did not think that this meant that Azure Radiance Academy had given up on this match.
There must be something in it that she could not see through yet.
And Quan Yi also opened his Dragon Eyes because of this, so Huo Wu was also very curious about what kind of clues would be presented under the Purple-Gold Dragon Eyes.
In Quan Yi's vision.
He did not see any strange fluctuations from the seven-member team of Azure Radiance Academy.
However, when Quan Yi paid attention to observing the Soul Power inside these seven people, he discovered an unusual detail.
"The Soul Power properties and attributes of these seven people are very similar.
I remember that the Martial Souls of the three members who appeared before seem to be gemstone types."
Quan Yi told the abnormality he observed.
Although the seven people's Soul Power levels and Soul Ring configurations were different, the Soul Power in their bodies showed highly similar characteristics.
And what this represented, a same guess flashed in the minds of Quan Yi and Huo Wu.
The match officially began.
However, the team members on both sides maintained a strange silence.
The sounds of battle had already erupted in the four surrounding arenas.
Under Tang San's command, Shrek did not launch an assault. Instead, they gathered together with unusual composure, wary of their opponents.
Clearly, Tang San had also noticed something amiss with the Azure Radiance Academy.
At this moment, as the match fell into a stalemate, the surrounding audience booed incessantly, but this did not affect either side on the Arena.
Left with no choice, the Referee finally issued a warning, urging the two teams to begin the match.
It was at this moment that the long-silent Azure Radiance Academy took the initiative.
The Soul Elder captain at the forefront stretched his body and moved his feet slightly backward one meter, entering the hexagon formed by the six people behind him.
At the same time, the six members stepped out simultaneously, instantly expanding the original hexagon in a circle.
The captain who retreated happened to fall in the very center of the enlarged hexagonal formation. Even more surprising, the distance between their steps was exactly the same, forming a near-perfect hexagon.
The moment the formation was perfectly constructed, the seven people, who had not revealed their Martial Souls, raised their right palms together.
Brilliant light bloomed from their hands, the rainbow seven colors formed by seven gemstones of different shapes and colors.
"As expected!"
Quan Yi and Huo Wu's guesses were not wrong.
At this moment, Quan Yi's eyes noticed that a special Soul Power fluctuation that had not appeared before was emerging from the Azure Radiance Academy's side.
The hexagon formed by the seven gemstones began to connect with each other in Quan Yi's eyes.
"Soul Guidance Runes," Quan Yi murmured.
In the next moment, the seven people holding up the gemstones erupted with seven rays of colored light, instantly condensing into a huge seven-colored pillar of light centered on the captain, spreading out.
