The elimination rounds ended quickly. The strong prevailed, and the weak were eliminated, with no chance of redemption.
The main event was the round-robin tournament, which followed the elimination rounds. The overall strength of the teams in the round-robin tournament was a whole level higher.
After that, every match involving Shrek Academy was packed, with every seat filled.
However, it was regrettable that Su Qingfeng didn't participate in the first two round-robin matches. Instead, the Shrek Seven Devils competed as a team.
This sparked a strong reaction from the audience, who all chanted Su Qingfeng's name, their voices echoing through the sky, as if they could etch this period into history.
Although the new Shrek Seven Devils performed very well, they had teammates in their thirties, but they had the ability to fight above their levels. They were strong enough to defeat opponents with advanced Soul Ancestor strength, and even Soul King-level teammates had a fighting chance.
Of course, this was only possible if Tang Wutong, Qiu'er, and Huo Yuhao were giving it their all.
What kind of hidden depths did the Shrek Seven Devils possess?
The Auspicious Beast, Three-Eyed Golden Lion, in human form, the Titan Snow Demon King Martial Soul + Million-Year First Soul Ring, the daughter of a God-King, a prospective member of the Limit Solo Project + born into the Sun Moon Royal family, a Twin Martial Souls wielder who played the legendary piece, Nine Phoenix Seeking Dragon, the great-grandson of Mu En, the Seagod Pavilion's Headmaster, and the same Martial Soul user as Xiao Wu, one of the original Shrek Seven Devils!
None of them were simple!
If Su Qingfeng hadn't been present, this lineup alone would have been enough to make a splash in the Soul Master Tournament.
Unfortunately, they were facing an era that belonged to Su Qingfeng.
This had to be said for Elder Xuan and Yan Shaozhe's cleverness. They knew everyone wanted to see Su Qingfeng, so they deliberately didn't arrange for him to participate. Watching others get anxious, they were laughing on the rooftop of the Star Emperor Hotel:
"Hehe, let you all taste the feeling of wanting something you can't have. Elder Mu used to tease us like this."
Elder Xuan's casual figure stood high above, the gentle breeze blowing, making his already unkempt appearance even messier, but also giving him a unique aura of a master.
Back in the Seagod Pavilion, after Elder Mu had established Su Qingfeng as the Saint Son, he kept him hidden for a while, preventing the elders from seeking him out, so these old fellows wouldn't try to steal his disciple. He knew his precious disciple's charm all too well.
Meanwhile, Meng Hongchen, who had been unable to find an opportunity to get close to Su Qingfeng and fulfill her dream, found her brother Xiao Hongchen and Elder Ma, and made her request:
"Elder Ma, I've decided, let me participate in the round-robin tournament!"
"Brother, what do you think?!"
Elder Ma rubbed his temples. "Your main role this time is to observe. You don't need to participate unless absolutely necessary."
Xiao Hongchen hadn't been looking so good these past few days. He didn't say anything; he was too devastated. Even though he didn't want to admit defeat, he had to concede that his originally proud demeanor and looks were completely crushed in front of that young man!
Meng Hongchen was very firm. "No! I have to participate!"
"Why?"
"Hmph! Because I want to bring honor to our academy! I'm also a part of the academy!"
Meng Hongchen blinked and said.
Elder Ma didn't believe her one bit. Ever since Meng Hongchen had used a megaphone to declare her affection that day, he had lost all trust in her.
Xiao Hongchen was speechless. You can actually say that? Who would believe it!
He immediately guessed his sister's intentions, but he still supported Meng Hongchen, saying: "Xiao Meng is right. Even though we're only reserve players, we won't lose to others in this Soul Master Tournament. Shrek Academy dares to field twelve or thirteen-year-old players, so why can't we let our reserve players compete? That Su Qingfeng is only a Level 5 Soul Engineer. I don't believe I don't have a chance to defeat him."
Meng Hongchen nodded fiercely, "Yes! If you lose, you'll give your sister to him!"
"Alright! Why would I be afraid?" Xiao Hongchen nodded.
The next moment, he looked strange, "This must be what you wanted, right?"
"Are you two discussing letting the reserve players compete here? Are you not taking us official players seriously?"
Ma Rulong walked out with a face full of black lines.
"That's not it, we naturally know Elder Ma's strength. It's just that we have more than one chance in the round-robin tournament. If we lose, Elder Ma, you still have the opportunity to have a showdown with the people from Shrek. Of course, the premise is that Elder Ma, you can defeat all your opponents in the round-robin tournament."
Xiao Hongchen analyzed the possibilities of the match.
Ma Rulong said, "We can also wait for us to lose before you compete."
"Of course, we can do that, but I admit that my current strength is not stronger than Elder Ma's, so we'll compete first. Even if we lose, I believe Elder Ma has the ability to handle the aftermath."
Xiao Hongchen was always arrogant, but even he admitted that he wasn't as strong as Ma Rulong. It was clear that Ma Rulong's strength was considerable.
Ma Rulong chuckled, "I like the sound of that. Alright, I have no objections."
Elder Ma was furious when he saw Ma Rulong so easily swayed. He snapped, "You good-for-nothing! A few compliments and you're lost! What does your agreement matter? I'm the one who makes the decisions here. If I don't allow it, what can you do? Do you think the Soul Master Tournament is child's play?!"
"Oh, Elder Ma, don't be like that. You're the most gentle and kind! Just let us participate. Then, I'll use my charm to win over Su Qingfeng. Won't the Sun Moon Royal Academy benefit? I'll bring this most handsome young man back to the Royal Academy. I'll even give you two grandsons. Won't our next generation inherit our excellent genes and Martial Souls? Then, we'll crush Shrek Academy and have a long and glorious future!"
Meng Hongchen said, it did make a certain amount of sense, but wasn't she being a little too direct?
"Elder Ma, if you don't let us participate, I'll go back to the academy and tell my grandfather about you. I'll say... I'll say Ma Rulong assaulted me!"
Meng Hongchen's dreamy eyes darted around, and she dropped a bombshell.
Ma Rulong was startled. Meng Hongchen was beautiful, and it was a lie to say he didn't like her. But he wouldn't dare to assault Meng Hongchen, he wouldn't even dare to touch her!
She was the granddaughter of Jing Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall! She was spoiled rotten!
That's why Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen were so unrestrained and arrogant!
Elder Ma was also frightened, stammering, "Meng Hongchen! Don't talk nonsense. No matter how daring this little rascal is, she wouldn't do such a thing!"
"How about it, how about it? Grandpa loves me the most. If you don't let me have a chance to have two big, fat boys with Su Qingfeng and bring honor to the family, I can only reluctantly make do with Big Brother Ma."
Meng Hongchen tilted her head and said.
Ma Rulong scratched his head, "That's… that's a bit embarrassing!"
Elder Ma: "Alright, alright, I'll let you go on stage. I'm afraid of you, you little girl!"
