Chapter 241: Chapter 241: Shrek vs. the Emperor Team (Part 1)

The next day, Yu Xiaogang and the others arrived at the Great Spirit Arena as usual. Director Ao approached them and Yu Xiaogang asked, "Director Ao, which team have you arranged for us today?"

After leading the group to a waiting room, Director Ao sighed and said, "Master, your Shrek team is too strong. We brought in seven Soul Elder teams, but you defeated them all."

Yu Xiaogang thought to himself that it was as he expected. If there were no suitable teams left, their Spirit Battle training might have to end early. While they could continue making money, it wouldn't help Tang San and the others improve. And the Great Spirit Arena wouldn't let them continue taking advantage without a challenge.

"So, what's your solution?" Yu Xiaogang asked.

After a brief hesitation, Director Ao responded, "There's only one team left with a winning streak. Both their captain and vice-captain are at level 40, but they haven't obtained their fourth spirit rings yet. Like your team, they also have optimal spirit ring configurations. You might want to challenge them tonight."

As he spoke, Director Ao handed over the file on the Emperor Team.

Though Yu Xiaogang was initially reluctant—after all, it was just a team of Soul Elders—his attitude changed the moment he opened the file and saw the name: Qin Ming, the teacher of the Emperor Team.

Yu Xiaogang and Flender exchanged a glance, nodding silently to each other.

After reviewing the file, Yu Xiaogang said to Director Ao, "Very well, we'll take on this team."

Director Ao nodded. This was his last resort, hoping that the Emperor Team could defeat Shrek. After all, there was a bounty of 10,000 gold soul coins on the line! What he didn't realize was that the Emperor Team members weren't particularly interested in money. When Qin Ming, their teacher, saw that Shrek Academy was involved, especially with Yu Xiaogang and Flender leading, he immediately accepted the challenge.

Yu Xiaogang handed the Emperor Team's file to Su Ming. "Take a look at their details. They're not weak. After reviewing it, share your thoughts."

Su Ming knew it was only a matter of time before the Emperor Team showed up. But this time, it seemed the roles were reversed, with the Emperor Team challenging them.

Su Ming spread the file on the table, and everyone gathered to examine the information.

Emperor Team:

Captain: Yu Tianheng, martial spirit: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, level 40 assault-type battle spirit master, two yellow and one purple ring.Vice-Captain: Dugu Yan, martial spirit: Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor, level 40 control-type battle spirit master, two yellow and one purple ring.Team Member: Shi Mo, martial spirit: Black Tortoise, level 38 defense-type battle spirit master, two yellow and one purple ring.Team Member: Shi Mo (younger brother), martial spirit: Black Tortoise, level 37 defense-type battle spirit master, two yellow and one purple ring.Team Member: Yu Feng, martial spirit: Windbell Bird, level 36 agility-type battle spirit master, two yellow and one purple ring.Team Member: Oslo, martial spirit: Ghost Leopard, level 36 agility-type battle spirit master, two yellow and one purple ring.Team Member: Ye Lingling, martial spirit: Nine Heart Begonia, level 36 support-type tool spirit master, two yellow and one purple ring.

After reading through the information, Su Ming frowned slightly. The soul power levels of Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling didn't match what he remembered. Also, wasn't Dugu Yan's martial spirit supposed to be the Jade Phosphor Serpent, not the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor?

Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged glances, realizing that Dugu Yan's changes were likely due to the system. After all, Xiao Wu had received a Bloodline Evolution Card, though she could only use it at level 70.

"Alright, what are your thoughts after reading this?" Yu Xiaogang asked from the side.

Tang San spoke first, "The Emperor Team, though weaker than us, has several members with top-tier martial spirits. We can't underestimate them based on soul power levels alone."

"I suspect their strength is far greater than a typical Soul Elder team."

Su Ming, though unsure why Yu Tianheng and the others were different from his knowledge, reminded himself that this was a parallel world. Perhaps the individuals here had more potential than those in the world he knew.

Even so, Su Ming wasn't concerned. He didn't believe the Emperor Team was stronger than his own.

With a lazy tone, Su Ming said, "There's nothing much to say. We'll just beat them. Our team's strength is no worse than theirs."

Then, with a teasing tone, Su Ming asked, "Master, Yu Tianheng's martial spirit is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Is he related to you? Is that why you accepted this match?"

Yu Xiaogang was surprised by Su Ming's direct question, but it wasn't a secret, so he nodded. "Yes, there is that reason. Additionally, their teacher, Qin Ming, is a Shrek Academy graduate. After the match, I plan to speak with him."

Su Ming guessed that Yu Xiaogang wanted Qin Ming to help get Shrek into Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, where the resources were richer and they had the opportunity to participate in the Spirit Master tournament.

Now that the Emperor Team had appeared, Su Ming was ready to move forward with his own plans. After spending time with the team, he had done everything he needed to. He figured the three girls—Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing—would likely leave with him. There was no longer any need for him to stay with Tang San and the others, especially since they irritated him.

When the time came, it would be every man for himself. Su Ming could count on Ning Fengzhi to help him, and worst case, he could also turn to Dugu Yan.

Su Ming thought with a sly grin: Dugu Yan, you wouldn't want your grandfather to die from poisoning, would you?

With many options, Su Ming felt confident. Qin Ming, on his own, wasn't enough to stand in his way.

Yu Xiaogang, not wanting to dwell on the topic, moved the discussion forward. "Enough of that. I'll point out a few things. In the Emperor Team, besides Yu Tianheng, you need to be cautious of Dugu Yan."

"She's managed to evolve her martial spirit into the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor at her current level, making her a formidable opponent. During the match, be extra careful of her poison. Oscar's detoxifying sausage won't be able to counter it."

What Yu Xiaogang didn't know was that Su Ming's fourth soul skill was incredibly versatile. A simple snake poison would pose no threat to Su Ming, especially with his life energy abilities.

On the other side, Tang San had come up with a plan. "Teacher, I have a way to neutralize Dugu Yan's poison. We just need to use realgar wine and ignite it. Ideally, we'd use Fatty's phoenix flames, but since his level isn't high enough, we'll have to rely on Boss Dai's White Tiger Light Wave."

Yu Xiaogang nodded. "Give it a try when the time comes. If it works, that will solve a big problem. Otherwise, deal with her as soon as possible in the fight; leaving her till later will be troublesome."

"Understood!" the team responded in unison.

Meanwhile, in the Emperor Team's rest area, Qin Ming was silent as he reviewed the Shrek team's information. He was excited to face his old academy, especially with Yu Xiaogang leading. What surprised him most was that Shrek had recruited such a group of young monsters this year.

Although the information didn't specify their ages, having been a part of Shrek Academy himself, Qin Ming could estimate their ages. These Shrek students were definitely younger than Yu Tianheng and his team. However, Qin Ming thought that this was a good opportunity to give his students some real pressure.

"So, what do you all think of the Shrek team? Do you think you can win?" Qin Ming asked, looking at his students.

Everyone turned to Yu Tianheng. After a brief pause, Yu Tianheng responded, "The Shrek team is indeed strong, and their lineup is very balanced. Winning will be challenging, but not impossible."

"Our first focus should be their captain, Su Ming. According to the information, his control over plant-based attacks is strange. He can control, defend, and even assist. He's a versatile spirit master. I'll take on the responsibility of holding him off at the start, using the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique."

"In the meantime, Yan can use her Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's mutated spirit abilities to control Su Ming and Xiao Wu. The others should fall easily to Yan's third spirit skill, the poison mist."

"The key to our victory lies in Yan's poison. If she can control them effectively, we can win."

Yu Tianheng then turned to Qin Ming. "Teacher, you won't forbid Yan from using her poison, right? The Shrek team is strong, and we'll need it to win."

Qin Ming didn't disagree with the plan. Without Dugu Yan's martial spirit evolution, their chances would indeed be slim against Shrek. But now, with her newly enhanced abilities, she had become the linchpin of their strategy. He nodded in agreement with Yu Tianheng's analysis.

"Tianheng is right. He'll hold off Su Ming at the start with the Dragon Transformation, while Yan's first target should be Xiao Wu. We can't let that teleporting, charming spirit master have the chance to act."

"Oslo, you'll deal with Zhu Zhuqing. You're both agility-type spirit masters. Work with Yu Feng to pressure their backline. Focus on taking out their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda spirit master first."

"Shi Mo and Shi Mo, your task is to protect Lingling. If the fight drags out, it could turn into a battle of endurance."

Su Ming smiled to himself. Underestimating me, are they?

The Emperor Team all nodded in agreement. They were determined to win. As the first team of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, they carried the pride of the academy on their shoulders.

Though Dugu Yan agreed with the plan, she had her doubts. Could Yu Tianheng really hold off Su Ming? She knew that Su Ming wasn't as simple as he appeared. But she couldn't voice her concerns.

Sigh, let's take it one step at a time, she thought. For her, winning wasn't the most important thing. Finding a way for Su Ming to cure her and her grandfather's poison was far more critical.

As the time for the final team battle approached, the arena was filled with anticipation.

Standing on the stage, Director Ao announced loudly, "And now, for the final match of the night: Shrek Team versus Emperor Team!"

The crowd erupted in cheers, their excitement at its peak. Shrek had become the crowd favorite. Their battles were fast, clean, and always exciting. Not to mention, many of the spectators had been betting on them and winning money.

"Shrek! Shrek! Shrek!" the audience chanted.

The members of the Emperor Team felt the pressure. They were used to being the stars of the arena, but tonight, they were being overshadowed by Shrek.

Moments later, both teams took their positions on opposite sides of the stage, forming their respective formations.

Su Ming's eyes immediately locked onto Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, their distinctive purple and silver-white hair standing out.

To Su Ming, Ye Lingling was much more beautiful than Dugu Yan, possessing a cold, goddess-like demeanor. Despite her stunning looks, Su Ming found it strange that in the original story, she had little presence. If one didn't pay attention, they might not even notice her.

What puzzled Su Ming even more was the strange feeling he had when looking at Ye Lingling. No, to be precise, it felt like his martial spirit was resonating with hers.

Su Ming wasn't the only one who felt it. Ye Lingling, too, sensed something when their eyes met. Though she didn't know why, she found Su Ming's presence oddly familiar, almost comforting.

Ye Lingling hadn't yet connected this feeling to what the system had mentioned before. The system's cryptic words hadn't given her any clues.

Su Ming, on the other hand, had more knowledge. Generally speaking, when two people felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity and their martial spirits resonated with each other, it often meant they had a high chance of being able to use a spirit fusion technique together.

But he couldn't quite figure out how his wood-elemental martial spirit could fuse with her Nine Heart Begonia. Was it because both were related to healing and support?
