Tang San didn't need to be urged, nodding:
"When we go up we'll have Dai Mubai, Me, Xiao Wu, Jing Ling, Huang Yuan, Jian Zhu, Tai Long. We'll attack according to the first plan. At that time we suffered that kind of humiliation at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, even though it was caused by prince Xue Xing, the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy symbolizes the imperial family. Dean Flender and the other teachers aren't here, but we understand what they think. If we want to have a good future, then today we must thoroughly smash our opponent. I think, to us, one minute should be enough."
Tai Mubai's tiger palms slapped together, the four pupils of his evil eyes glinting ominously,
"That's right, we only need one minute."
An incorporeal harsh atmosphere spread in Tang San and Dai Mubai's hearts. The scene of that time they powerlessly withdrew from Heaven Dou Imperial Academy in front of Dugu Bo would never be erased from their minds. Even though Tang San didn't say it clearly, everyone understood that they not only had to prevail over this Heaven Dou Imperial Academy second team, they still had to keep them from passing this time's qualifying competition.
Not long after, a special functionary arrived and hurried everyone to the stage. The organizers clearly weren't optimistic about their chances, and they were even brought by just one functionary. Just as they were leaving the mouth of passage, the Shrek Academy group could already hear the officiant outside declaring the names and spirits of each member of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy team. Golden beams of light shot down on the high stage from the side of the Great Spirit Arena, accompanying each member of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy second team as they appeared.
Before speaking of strength, the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy members were excellent in terms of appearance, the faintly golden uniforms had the words 'Heaven Dou' embroidered on the left side of the chest, and on the back was a design of seven silver stars, the symbol of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. Each one was valiant and formidable-looking, all appearing over twenty years old. Under the illumination of those spirit tools, even though it was daytime, they still seemed to release a dazzling radiance, just like little golden suns, attracting the audiences attention.
"Fuck, they're clearly taking us as extras, setting off this kind of fireworks."
Huang Yuan said angrily. Even though this Lone Wolf Spirit Master's stature wasn't as doughty as Tai Long, he was still fairly robust. Like Dai Mubai he was also a power attack system Spirit Master. Because of his straightforward nature, he was very quickly accepted by the Shrek Seven Devils.
To the side, Jing Ling uneasily said:
"Wrong. We're not extras, but considered cow dung. Fresh flowers stuck on top of manure, isn't that even more dazzling?"
Contrary to Lone Wolf, his appearance was somewhat wretched. The slender agility attack system Spirit Master gave a somewhat feminine impression. Together with him, most people would feel uneasy. His cold gaze at people was like a poisonous snake, and even when everyone were exchanging pointers, he would never let himself be in a disadvantageous position. He would frequently team up to attack, but when defending there would rarely be a trace of him. He was called a coward by the ferocious male students Dai Mubai, Huang Yuan, and Tai Long, but fortunately, this fellow only had a somewhat strange character, and his strength was still fairly outstanding.
"We'll let them know who is manure."
Tai Long resolutely waved his fist.
Dai Mubai coldly said:
"Let's go. It's our turn to go up."
The lights in the arena faded, and the Shrek Academy competing students slowly went on stage amidst loud hissing voices.
In the arena there had already occurred a change. In just that brief half hour, a long ago prepared stage had been constructed. The stage was ten meters tall and circular, with a diameter of thirty meters, a fairly large area. Of course, this was still only one stage. Once the preselection competition truly started tomorrow, there would be five stages here simultaneously. The twenty eight teams would conduct twenty seven rounds of the preselection competition, each team confronting twenty seven opponents. The victors would obtain one point, the defeated none. After twenty seven rounds, the five teams with the most points would advance to the promotion competition. And entering the promotion competition was equal to entering the finals. This month long qualifying competition was equal to a trial for each of the academy teams. Twenty seven days of continuous matches was enough for teams that lacked endurance to collapse.
In the entire Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, this preselection competition would occupy the first half of the time. The finals after the promotion competition would take place on the common border of the Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire, in the public plaza in front of the Supreme Pontiff Palace. The final champions would be issued the award by the Supreme Pontiff personally, an immense honor.
It truly was a difference in treatment. Tang San squinted slightly, the expression on his face still serene. Together with Dai Mubai, they brought the Shrek Academy's altogether eleven members into a line in the center of the stage, standing opposite to the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy second team's members.
This Heaven Dou Imperial Academy second team had altogether sixteen members. At that time the Shrek Academy only stayed at the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy for a very short time, and these people naturally didn't recognize Tang San and the others. These aristocratic children naturally looked even more at the Shrek Academy members' attire. If this hadn't been on stage, some of them might have already burst out laughing.
"Truly a group of toads. This type also participates in the Spirit Master Tournament?"
Standing furthest ahead in the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy second team was a petite male student. His skin was fair, and his long hair also very beautiful, seemingly like a girl. Even his voice was soft and feminine.
"Captain, why would we draw an opponent like this. Toads on your foot really won't bite people, but are still disgusting. Look at those uniforms, I'll die laughing."
A gorgeously dressed female student with ample chest next to the petite man covered her mouth as she spoke. That gesture was apparently for fear of smelling the Shrek Academy students.
That captain nodded consideringly, his gaze somewhat lecherously floating over to Xiao Wu,
"It's only a pity on such a little beauty."
Xiao Wu snorted coldly,
"A hermaphrodite and a prostitute, how did we draw an opponent like this."
"Little slut, who are you calling a prostitute?"
That hot bodied female student immediately flipped out. That male student addressed as a hermaphrodite also immediately went ashen.
Dai Mubai laughed out loud,
"Xiao Wu, you're too talented. Why didn't I think of such a good description? Hermaphrodite and prostitute. Really a perfect match!"
The Heaven Dou Imperial Academy second team's petite captain coldly said:
"Fine, you're very good. Even if the competition prohibits killing opponents, injuries really are hard to avoid. Since you're courting death, don't blame us."
The competition still hadn't started, but both sides already stood with swords drawn and bows bent, the taste of gunpowder thick and clear.
Dai Mubai clearly didn't like having his own lines snatched by the other side, but now the referee had already walked over.
"Both sides salute, non competitors withdraw from the stage."
Whether it was Heaven Dou Imperial Academy of Shrek Academy, both sides unwillingly forced themselves to bow in salute to their counterparts. The superfluous withdrew from the stage, only leaving seven people each to participate in this first match.
On the Shrek Academy's side, Dai Mubai, Tai Long, and Huang Yuan stood furthest in front. Tang San was in the center, with Xiao Wu and Jung Ling on either side. Jiang Zhu stood furthest back.
On the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy side, besides the man and woman who spoke up before, the remaining five were all robust people, standing in a line in front, obstructing the two behind them like a wall. That petite captain stood in the center, doubtlessly this side's control system Spirit Master. And that fiery bodied young woman stood in the rear.
In the VIP section.
Emperor Xue Ye looked at the stage with a smile, asking Ning Fengzhi at his side:
"School master Ning, It seems this first match doesn't hold any suspense!"
Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly, nodding, expressing agreement.
The platinum bishop Salas on the other side suddenly said:
"School master Ning, could you tell me which of the twenty eight teams you before said could be championship contestants?"
Ning Fengzhi smiled:
"Your grace, is a bit of mystery no good? I think you also certainly have teams to support."
Salas tightlipped said:
"Since you say this, school master Ning, are you unwilling to reveal it?"
Ning Fengzhi smiled calmly, saying:
"This is a school secret, it appears unrelated to your grace."
"You..."
Salas' complexion clearly dropped. His gaze colliding with Ning Fengzhi's in front of emperor Xue Ye, neither yielding the slightest bit.
Emperor Xue Ye sitting in the middle frowned minutely, mediating:
"No need to be impatient, after this tournament ends, we will naturally have the results. Bishop Salas, what school master Ning said wasn't wrong, who he favors is his own matter. You see, I also didn't ask about it. Even though I'm also very curious."
Platinum bishop Salas glanced at emperor Xue Ye, indifferently saying:
"As your majesty says. Then let us look at the match."
Prince Xue Xing in the second row proudly said to everyone next to him:
"Look, his majesty and school master Ning have both already noticed that this match is without any suspense. Our Heaven Dou Imperial Academy's students truly are elite. This is still only the second team. This time our main team only has one goal: final champions."
