"Why are these vulgar guys here too?
Didn't Teacher say they were seeded teams and didn't need to participate in the preliminaries? I hate seeing them."
Ning Rongrong and the others also noticed the few ruffians from Shrek looking at them, pouting in displeasure.
Zhu Zhuqing said coldly: "They might be here specifically to study us."
Meng Yiran also understood now, "Studying the opponent team's moves and strength is common in Spirit Master competitions.
However, as a seeded team, staring at us so intently clearly means they were scared by us last time and want to see how much we've improved this year."
"It's still Teacher who was farsighted, having already formulated counter-strategies for us yesterday."
"Hmph, they're just a bunch of sore losers, knowing they have a seeded team spot and taking advantage of us."
Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong glared back fiercely, waving their small fists, warning the Shrek teammates:
"What are you looking at? Stare again and I'll punch out your remaining eyes, One-Eyed Tiger, Lame Chicken, Little Blue Worm, Yu Little Dog, bah!"
How mocking.
Just a few words from the two little girls instantly broke Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Yu Tianheng, and Yu Xiaogang:
"This young master is the Evil Fire Phoenix!"
"I am the Evil Eyes White Tiger! Evil Eyes, understand?"
"I am the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, the strongest Beast Spirit!"
"What a bunch of disrespectful girls! How presumptuous."

The VIP platform, located at the highest point of the viewing area, offered an expansive view.
Emperor Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi, and Platinum Bishop Salas of Spirit Hall sat in the first row at the top, while the next two rows were occupied by Prince Xue Xing, the three great teaching committee members of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and other Heaven Dou nobles.
When all the teams had entered the contestant area and the audience seats were full, His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven Dou Empire, dressed in a crimson-gold robe, slowly rose amidst thunderous applause and officially announced the opening of the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Competition.
Ning Fengzhi, as the Sect Master of the only one of the Upper Three Sects with close ties to the Heaven Dou imperial family, also delivered a very official and smooth speech, which brought a satisfied smile to Emperor Xue Ye's Face.
Apparently, the host felt that Ning Fengzhi's official speech was not enough to stir the atmosphere, so he asked a controversial question:
"School Master Ning, you are the most powerful support system Spirit Master.
