A few minutes later.
The atmosphere at the main Douhun Stage of the Soto Great Spirit Arena had reached a fever pitch.
The massive Douhun Stage was like a colossal stone arena embedded in the center, spanning hundreds of square meters with a hard, flat surface. The surrounding stands were layered, packed with people, and waves of noisy cheers rose and fell, as if threatening to overturn the entire Great Spirit Arena.
Suddenly, over a dozen golden beams of light simultaneously illuminated above the center of the arena.
Following this, these light beams intersected and converged in mid-air, eventually forming a dazzling golden torrent that descended directly onto the very center of the Douhun Stage.
Just then, a circular section with a two-meter diameter suddenly rose from the ground in the center of the Douhun Stage. As it slowly ascended, a thick golden pillar could be seen supporting the rising circle, and leaning against that golden pillar was a woman.
She was a woman around twenty years old, dressed in a pristine white long dress, with skin as fair as jade, and slightly curled hair cascading over her shoulders, glowing with a soft luster under the lights.
"Esteemed audience friends, welcome to the Soto Great Spirit Arena!"
"It is my honor to host tonight's team fighting soul battle. My name is Doudou."
As her voice fell, the cheers from the entire venue instantly swept over like a tidal wave.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, as if savoring the moment of applause and fervor.
A moment later, Doudou's smile deepened, and her tone became more sincere and excited: "Then! Now, I announce the entry of the two teams participating tonight!"
Accompanying the fall of her voice.
"Boom—"
Heavy mechanical sounds came from both sides of the Douhun Stage, and two tall metal gates slowly opened simultaneously. Light poured out from behind the doors, revealing the figures of two distinct teams.
On the left, came the Royal Fight Team!
Yu Tianheng walked at the very front of the team, Dugu Yan habitually followed behind him, closely followed by the Shi Brothers, then Oslo and Yu Feng.
The person walking at the very back of the team was dressed in a light green long dress and wore a ghost mask, but judging by her walking posture, her clothes didn't seem to fit very well!
In contrast, on the Shrek Team's side, Dai Mubai walked at the very front. They were all dressed in black tight-fitting outfits and wore green monster masks.
As soon as the members of both sides appeared, Dai Mubai, who was walking at the front of the Shrek Seven Devils, and Yu Tianheng, the captain of the Royal Fight Team, exchanged a fierce gaze in the air.
...…
On the spectator stand not far away.
The Master and Flender stood side by side, their eyes fixed on the center of the Douhun Stage.
At this moment, Flender's brows were slightly furrowed, his hands clasped behind his back but unconsciously clenched tightly, his face looking somewhat worried and not good.
Seeing this, the Master turned his head to glance at him, and said in a calm tone: "Flender, you don't need to be so nervous. I just formulated a detailed battle plan for Little San, plus he has an external Soul Bone. I think it won't take more than thirty rounds to take down this Royal Fight Team."
"Mm." Flender nodded, exhaled, and said: "I hope so… As long as the little monsters can return safely, I'll be satisfied."
As soon as his voice fell, a sharp light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and then his expression changed dramatically, as if he had caught sight of something that shouldn't have appeared.
The next second, Flender leaned forward slightly, his eyes fixed on the last support Soul Master of the Royal Fight Team, his pupils contracting slightly.
"Xiao Gang, look quickly!" Flender said in a low and urgent voice: "The mask that last support Soul Master of the Royal Fight Team is wearing, why does it look familiar?"
Hearing this, the Master followed his gaze, concentrated for a moment, narrowed his eyes, and a strange expression appeared on his face as he gritted his teeth and said:
"Isn't that the mask that little bastard Tang Chuan wore before?"
"Could it be… but that's not right either."
"This support Soul Master clearly looks like a girl, how could it be?"
The two exchanged glances, their eyes filled with both surprise and a subtle unease.
...…
At the same time, on the Douhun Stage in the arena.
Currently, Tang San and Xiao Wu's gazes almost simultaneously fell on the last support Soul Master of the Royal Fight Team.
"Her mask is exactly the same as the one Brother wore before? What's going on? Does Brother know the people from this Royal Fight Team?"
"Or is it just a coincidence, just the mask is the same."
"But, why do I feel an extremely familiar Aura from her?" Tang San's pupils contracted slightly, and a familiar blue figure flashed through his mind instantly.
Xiao Wu's expression also changed, an indescribable surprise and worry flashing in her eyes. She subconsciously moved half a step closer to Tang San but did not speak.
However, just then, the host Doudou raised her hand, brought the amplification soul tool to her lips, and her sweet voice exploded throughout the venue:
"Fighting Soul Battle—Begin!"
Accompanying the fall of her voice.
Dai Mubai stomped his foot, and his deep, powerful voice boomed in the arena:
"Brothers, release your Martial Souls!"
Boom—
Seven Soul Power fluctuations swept out almost simultaneously.
The Shrek Seven Devils' respective spirit ring lights illuminated at their feet at the same time.
Led by Dai Mubai, all of the Shrek Seven Devils released their Martial Souls. Oscar's three types of sausages had already been distributed to everyone at this time.
He and Ning Rongrong stood at the very back of the team, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were on Dai Mubai's left and right sides respectively, while Tang San stood behind the three of them.
Ma Hongjun stood slightly ahead of Ning Rongrong and Oscar's positions.
With their Martial Souls released, the Shrek side's Aura instantly soared to its peak.
Tang San's eyes flashed with cold light, and his voice was clear and decisive:
"Mubai, Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, I will use Blue Silver Grass to deploy the Meteor Human Hammer Formation later! You directly attack that Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Master!"
As his voice fell, his first spirit ring at his feet suddenly lit up, and with a flip of his palm, Blue Silver Grass quietly emerged like a living creature, carrying a faint purple glow, instantly Entangling everyone's bodies.
Under the effect of the Blue Silver Grass.
The seven immediately formed a cohesive whole with Tang San at the center.
"First Soul Skill, White Tiger Protection Barrier!"
Dai Mubai raised an eyebrow, his first spirit ring lit up, and then, a Battle Intent-filled sneer curled his lips. Immediately, he stomped his foot hard, and with a bang, the stone bricks shattered. His figure charged towards the Royal Fight Team members like a fierce tiger pouncing on its prey.
Since the Shrek Seven Devils had released their Martial Souls, the other side naturally wouldn't stand idle.
The Royal Fight Team's Formation was completely different from that of the Shrek Seven Devils.
Standing at the very front was not their captain, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Master Yu Tianheng.
Instead, it was the two Black Tortoise Soul Masters, the Shi Brothers. One on the left and one on the right, as soon as Doudou announced the start of the fighting soul battle, they both roared, and an earthy yellow light rose from their feet. The sound they made was even more intense than Dai Mubai's bone-cracking sounds.
"First Soul Skill, Shield Transformation!"
Seeing Dai Mubai attack, the Shi Brothers both roared, their voices like a grand bell.
Following this, earthy yellow Soul Power ripples suddenly surged from their feet, and their first spirit rings lit up almost simultaneously. Soft yellow light quickly condensed, finally transforming into two massive tortoise shell shields, emitting a heavy earthy yellow luster.
"Captain, we'll stop him!"
With a low roar, the Shi Brothers stepped forward in unison, and the phantom of a tortoise shell suddenly magnified before them, like two moving city walls, directly blocking Dai Mubai's path.
At the same time, on the other side, the battle situation changed abruptly.
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing separated from Dai Mubai's flanks almost simultaneously, their figures transforming into two afterimages, one left and one right, circling to charge towards Yu Tianheng.
Seeing this, Yu Tianheng's gaze slightly narrowed. He was about to mobilize his Soul Power to meet the attack, but Dugu Yan and Oslo beside him had already keenly perceived their intentions.
The two exchanged glances, understanding each other. Soul Power burst from their feet, and their figures shot out like arrows, directly blocking Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing's path.
The distance between the two sides rapidly shortened.
One could even hear the sound of wind being cut as they approached each other.
Just as they were about to engage in a head-on battle.
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing's lips simultaneously curled into a slight smile, a hint of cunning flashing in their eyes. In that flash of lightning, both of them simultaneously tapped their toes, suddenly leaping into the air, their figures like two swallows soaring through the sky. They gracefully and sharply swept over Dugu Yan and Oslo's heads, bringing with them two faint gusts of wind pressure that even made the hair of the two below slightly flutter.
"What?"
"They can fly?"
Dugu Yan frowned, only then noticing the pair of transparent wings behind them.
"Seven Treasures, turn out with Colored Glaze (glazed)."
Just then, Ning Rongrong's body gracefully spun around in place, and brilliant seven-colored light was released from within her, a colorful pagoda about a foot tall already in her hand.
"Seven Treasures are famous!"
"First: Strength!"
"Second: Speed!"
Immediately, two beams of Soul Power light, different in color.
Transformed into two flowing rivers of light, they shot out from the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, accurately landing on Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu in the air.
In an instant, the Aura of the two women suddenly surged.
Their speed suddenly increased as if pushed by a strong wind. In the blink of an eye, their figures flashed, transforming into two afterimages, and they arrived on either side of Yu Tianheng.
"Such fast speed?!"
Seeing this, Yu Tianheng's pupils contracted sharply. He only had time to raise his arms to protect himself.
