Chapter 166: Chapter 166: Offering Incense
...
After winning the duel, Zeng Yi first went to the registration desk and then returned to the Shrek's box with the victorious rewards.
Upon entering the room, he saw the people from Shrek gathered here.
"Did you finish the team battle?"
"Of course! We cleanly defeated the opponents in one go." Ma Hongjun boasted with a smug look on his face, lifting his hand to make a strong gesture.
"What are you showing off with your extra fat? Look at this, this is muscle!" Oscar said disdainfully, extending his arm to compare with Ma Hongjun.
After going through the hellish physical training, Oscar had developed a strong physique with well-defined muscles, making his initially somewhat effeminate face become resolute and more handsome.
"I think you're asking for trouble!"
Seeing Oscar's mocking smile, Ma Hongjun became irritated and used his chubby hands to pick him up and press him down on the sofa, starting to educate him.
The atmosphere instantly became jovial.
"Alright! Both of you, calm down. We still have a duel to fight later, so prepare your spirits properly," Flender spoke on the side, looking somewhat helpless.
Among all the students, these two were the most unruly and always managed to stir up some trouble.
If only they were as composed as Tang San.
"By the way, where did you go just now?" Flender asked Zeng Yi, as the dean, he naturally wanted to know about the situation of his students.
"They were fighting in the team battle, but I was bored, so I played a single-player duel," Zeng Yi casually sat on the sofa, poured himself a cup of tea.
After taking a slow sip, Zeng Yi continued, "And, I met someone interesting."
"Interesting person? Who?" the others couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Well, let's keep it a secret for now. You'll find out later, hehe," Zeng Yi smiled mysteriously as he looked at the members of Shrek.
It wouldn't be long before they would have to fight that team from the Heavenly Dou Imperial City. Zeng Yi remembered that in the original story, the reason why the team from the Heavenly Dou underestimated the Shrek Seven Monsters was because they lost.
However, the Shrek Seven Monsters managed to win, but it was a close call. In the end, Tang San single-handedly turned the tide and secured the victory.
But this time, the Shrek team had become even stronger because of their own efforts. And the team from Heavenly Dou would also start taking them seriously after today's duels, no longer underestimating the Shrek Academy Great Spirit Arena.
Therefore, this duel was definitely going to be interesting!
Zeng Yi was increasingly looking forward to what kind of scene this duel would be.
There was only one day left until the day to settle the scores in the Great Spirit Arena.
In this month's duels, the Shrek Seven Monsters had won every single match without a single failure. From the accumulation of points, they were assured of promotion to Silver Expert Spirit Masters as long as they passed today. This also meant that the second stage of their training could be completed, and they would leave the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena.
Of course, Zeng Yi hadn't achieved the goal set by Grandmaster. Grandmaster wanted Zeng Yi to become a Gold Expert Spirit Master to consider the mission accomplished. Although Zeng Yi had also won every match, his score was not enough to become a Gold Expert Spirit Master. Moreover, it was difficult to rank even high as a Silver Expert Spirit Master, and one month was not enough to meet this requirement.
But Grandmaster could see Zeng Yi's strength and didn't pay much attention to this. Whether he obtained the Gold Expert Spirit Master badge or not was no longer important, more like a joke.
On the last night of this month, the Shrek team once again entered the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena.
When registering at the registration desk, the staff's expression changed immediately upon hearing that it was the Shrek Seven Monsters. They asked them to wait for a moment and then turned away.
After a while, the staff member returned with a middle-aged man in formal attire.
"You're the leader of the Shrek Seven Monsters team, right? I am the supervisor here, surname Ao," said the supervisor Ao respectfully to Grandmaster.
"And this is the Swordmaster of Hurricane," he turned to Zeng Yi who was standing next to him and smiled politely.
Although all eight of them had masks on their faces, he could still recognize who was who from their familiar outfits.
"Hehe, nice to meet you, Supervisor Ao. What can I do for you?" Zeng Yi smiled. He had met this person a few times before, as Ao had come looking for him several times, wanting him to become a contracted spirit master in the Spirit Arena. But Zeng Yi didn't agree.
However, Zeng Yi could guess why Ao had come this time.
After that, Flender, Zhao Wuji and Grandmaster accompanied Supervisor Ao to discuss matters aside, while they asked the eight people to wait in the lounge.
After a while, the three teachers returned to the Shrek's lounge and all had solemn and serious expressions.
Except for Zeng Yi, everyone else sensed that something was wrong from their expressions.
"Tonight, you will have different single-person and double-person duels. You will directly engage in a team battle in the main Spirit Arena," the Master said in a serious tone while looking at the group.
This surprised the seven.
Tang San asked puzzledly, "Teacher, didn't you say that only Spirit Masters with Silver Spirit ranks can participate in duels in the main Spirit Arena? We are only at the Iron level."
The Master explained, "Because a very powerful duel team has arrived at the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena recently, causing considerable losses for the organizers. So they asked them to have a duel against this team. Of course, there are also significant rewards for winning."
After saying that, Grandmaster took out a sheepskin paper from his sleeve and placed it on the table.
"This is the information about that team. Take a look, familiarize yourselves with the opponent."
Ma Hongjun, who was closest to the information, quickly grabbed it and started reading it, while Oscar curiously leaned over.
"What the hell! A team of Silver Expert Spirit Masters?" Ma Hongjun shouted in astonishment after reading the words on the paper.
"No way? They are all Spirit Elders above Level 35?" Oscar was also amazed.
"All of them have optimal Soul Rings? Just like us?"
"Easily defeated the Mad Battle Team?"
"Heavenly Dou Royal Academy? Emperor Team?"
One terrifying information after another made the two of them continuously cry out in shock.
"Heavenly Dou Royal Academy? Let me see!" Ning Rongrong was surprised after hearing the origin of this team. If it weren't for her finding out about the strange Shrek Academy and wanting to come and see it, she would have probably entered this Heavenly Dou Royal Academy for her studies.
After snatching the information and placing it on the table, everyone's heads were brought together to read it.
[Emperor Team]
[Yu Tianheng, Martial Spirit: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Level 39 Assault System Spirit Master.]
[Dugu Yan, Martial Spirit: Jade Phosphor Serpent, Level 38 Control System Spirit Master.]
[Shi Mo, Martial Spirit: Black Tortoise, Level 38 Defense System Spirit Master.]
[Shi Mo, Martial Spirit: Black Tortoise, Level 37 Defense System Spirit Master.]
[Yu Feng, Martial Spirit: Wind Chime Bird, Level 36 Agility Attack System Spirit Master.]
[Osler, Martial Spirit: Black Leopard, Level 36 Agility Attack System Spirit Master.]
[Ye Lingling, Martial Spirit: Nine Heart Flowering Apple, Level 35 Auxiliary System Tool Spirit Master.]
The seven people's Soul Ring configuration was two yellow and one purple, the optimal Soul Ring configuration.
Seeing this, everyone's expressions turned serious.
"This duel is going to be difficult. There are people from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in this team. This Martial Spirit is even stronger than my White Tiger Martial Spirit. And there are also two Black Tortoises, which are top-tier Martial Spirits with extremely abnormal defense. It will be very difficult for us to win," Dai Mubai said with a serious expression.
Although he was confident in his own strength, he wouldn't be blind to the truth. The opponent's overall strength was higher than theirs, their Martial Spirits were also of good quality, and their Soul Ring configuration was the same as theirs. Furthermore, three of their people still hadn't reached the second Soul Ring level.
Honestly speaking, their chances of winning were very low.
Of course, it would be a different story if Zeng Yi participated.
The others didn't say anything in response; they didn't think there was anything wrong with Dai Mubai's analysis. The chances of winning against this team were indeed quite low.
Seeing everyone looking serious, Grandmaster turned his gaze to Zeng Yi.
Zeng Yi, seemingly unaffected by the serious atmosphere, calmly and contently held a cup of hot tea, sipping it leisurely, as if living his life of retirement.
This left Grandmaster speechless.
"Zeng Yi, what do you think are our chances of winning against the Emperor Team?"
Grandmaster suddenly asked him, leaving Zeng Yi a little confused.
"Huh? What are the chances?"
"It should be 50-50!"
