"This Blue Silver Academy is truly monstrous."
Flander, who was standing nearby, also swallowed hard.
He knew very well how popular an academy would be if it could allow a Soul Master to attach a thousand-year-old soul ring as their second soul ring.
Even the Spirit Hall wasn't this outrageous.
He, who usually considered his own students to be monsters, now gave the same evaluation to his opponents.
Unfortunately, no one paid much attention.
On the stage, the Shrek Academy students were naturally curious and shocked.
But they quickly regained their composure.
"According to the plan, let's go."
"It's just a few more years on their soul rings; it's nothing significant."
"For a Soul Master, the most important thing is still the martial soul."
"Ning Rongrong."
Dai Mubai called out, showing some judgment as the captain.
The match had already started, and there was no time for them to be surprised or to communicate.
As he spoke, his figure shot out.
"Seven Treasures turn to Colored Glaze. First, strength; second, speed…"
Ning Rongrong's reaction was also quick, and she agreed with Dai Mubai's words.
Their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan was one of the three great clans on the continent, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was a top-tier martial soul.
This was not something that could be compared to a few hundred more years on a soul ring. She used her focus to simultaneously apply buffs to everyone around her.
The two of them acted in quick succession, bringing everyone else back to attention. The group followed Dai Mubai as the main attacker, while Ning Rongrong was their protected core.
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, huh."
"Let's go."
Lan Xier and her group didn't have any support Soul Masters.
However, they did have a few people with decent healing abilities.
Among them, Lan Nian, Lan Sheng, and Lan Hua all had plant-type martial souls, and their soul power was all at level 29 or 30.
Lan Nian and Lan Sheng both had the Blue Silver Grass martial soul, while Lan Hua's martial soul had mutated into a black grass called Dark Grass, which had the characteristic of devouring light.
The remaining three had a long spear martial soul, a pangolin martial soul, and an iron shield martial soul respectively.
The entire team consisted of either control-type or assault-type Soul Masters.
"Second Soul Skill, Pitch Black Painting."
The first to act was Lan Hua. As he used his soul skill, a large area of the arena quickly became covered in Dark Grass.
A vast amount of light was absorbed, even the visible light around Shrek Academy's team was completely swallowed up.
And they had directly entered the range of the soul skill, causing a moment of panic.
In the darkness, it seemed as if even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda had dimmed.
Before they could do anything else, Lan Nian and Lan Sheng's Blue Silver Grass rapidly grew.
The two of them worked together to almost completely cover the arena in a sea of Blue Silver Grass.
This scene further astonished the Shrek Academy members below.
The growth rate of both the Dark Grass and the Blue Silver Grass was somewhat astounding.
"Is the Blue Silver Grass martial soul usually deployed that fast?"
Flander didn't recognize the Dark Grass, so he could only ask about the Blue Silver Grass.
Especially now, the area covered by the Dark Grass seemed to be completely isolated.
A patch of darkness, silence, and the disappearance of light in that specific area looked very strange.
"What kind of soul rings did those guys absorb?"
Flander's question went unanswered because Yu Xiaogang, sitting next to him, was scratching his head in frustration.
He simply couldn't figure out how a mere Grandmaster's soul power could support such an explosive growth of Blue Silver Grass.
"It must have something to do with their soul rings…"
Yu Xiaogang uttered a platitude.
Just like his ten great theories.
Moreover, the most important thing was that the Blue Silver Grass on the field was incredibly vibrant.
It could also be manipulated to attack the Shrek Academy members in the darkness, instantly scattering and breaking them apart.
The group frantically dealt with the sudden darkness.
Within a few breaths, they were bound and tied by the Blue Silver Grass. The stronger ones could struggle free a bit.
Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Xiao Wu were doing relatively well. The former had powerful soul power, and the latter two cooperated with each other, so there were no problems.
Ma Hongjun could also use his Evil Fire Phoenix martial soul to quickly burn away the Blue Silver Grass, even casting a little light, but it would quickly disappear again.
Among the group, Ma Hongjun was the most composed, but he had no opportunity to assist the others.
Although Zhu Zhuqing was fast and continuously dodged the hidden Blue Silver Grass attacks, she was quickly bound. With her attacks, it was difficult to break through the clumps of Blue Silver Grass.
"Help me!"
"What's grabbing me?!"
Needless to say, Ning Rongrong, the protection for their group, was almost nonexistent once they entered the Dark Grass area.
Accompanied by her displeased shouts, in just an instant, the dignified number one auxiliary martial soul almost lost its function.
She was repeatedly bound and tied up.
Besides her, there was Oscar, who had little presence. He wasn't doing any better, losing his abilities as quickly as Ning Rongrong.
In just a moment, three members of Shrek Academy had essentially lost the ability to continue fighting.
"Only three are dealt with. The rest are up to you."
Outside, Lan Nian and Lan Sheng, who had consumed most of their soul power, sensed that the Blue Silver Grass had captured people, and simply pulled them out.
Soon, on the stage, a large expanse of Blue Silver Grass could be seen retracting, and three Blue Silver Grass spheres, like zongzi, were pulled out.
Behind them was Dai Mubai's furious and enraged face. His white suit was covered in dust and torn in many places, losing its usual elegance.
"Mere Blue Silver Grass."
"Don't think this is over."
Both of them were Grandmasters, and with the Dark Grass catching the opponents off guard, they hadn't expected to directly defeat Dai Mubai.
Seeing him appear, the two of them were not in a hurry.
Dai Mubai roared and was already about to charge towards the Blue Silver Academy group.
Even if he was alone, he believed he could break through the opponents.
He was a Star Luo Prince, a Soul Master with the Evil Eye White Tiger martial soul.
It must be said that the prestige of the Evil Eye White Tiger was indeed present, at least making the Pangolin martial soul Soul Master standing not far away very uncomfortable.
But he didn't need to deal with Dai Mubai, so he didn't show much abnormality.
He just followed the others, keeping an eye on anyone else who might emerge.
Now, the seven-on-seven match had become seven-on-four, and the outcome was basically decided.
As for Dai Mubai...
"Now it's my turn."
Lan Xier, who hadn't made a move yet, grinned, full of fighting spirit, having been ready for a long time.
She had originally been waiting for that fat guy to come out so she could give him a good beating.
But the ones pulled out were two girls and someone she didn't know, so she didn't bother to argue, signaling Lan Nian and the other to eliminate them.
Now that she saw someone with a decent soul power level, she also wanted to perform well, otherwise, if she got on the stage and didn't perform well, she might really be dragged back to the mountain by her great-grandfather for secluded cultivation.
"Little tiger, you look down on Blue Silver Grass, don't you?"
"Today, I'll show you what true Blue Silver Grass is."
Lan Xier said with a proud snort.
Her soul power erupted, and Blue Silver Grass spread even faster and stronger than the other two.
She alone unleashed an offensive that surpassed both Lan Nian and Lan Sheng.
If she had acted with them just now, perhaps no one else would have needed to do anything.
