Rather than taking it lying down, Dai Mubai took a step forward. Even though his body weight wasn't enough to produce vibrations, his imposing manner was accurate to perfection,
"Shrek Academy team, captain, Dai Mubai. Forty fourth ranked power attack system Battle Spirit Ancestor."
"Both teams, salute."
The referee called out.
Led by Dai Mubai and Hu Yan Li, the altogether fourteen competing members of both sides bowed to each other. The mood in the ring became serious in practically a split second.
"Qualifiers second round, first match, officially begins."
The five simultaneous matches under way were pronounced started at practically the same time. Also at that moment, the seventy members of ten academies in five matches simultaneously released their spirit rings. Suddenly, the entire Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena became dazzlingly beautiful. The cheers of the spectators also erupted at this moment.
Spirit body enhancement, tool spirit summoning. Dazzling spirit ring light filled the air in an instant.
The seven direct disciples of the Elephant Armored School in front of the Shrek Academy team simultaneously threw off their jackets, exposing their fat. Very quickly, they used their body enhancement to show the audience why they took of their jackets.
The originally already imposing bodies, swelled up once again with explosive shouts of spirit body enhancement. Somewhat flabby fat unexpectedly stretched out, becoming exaggerated muscles, a layer of deep yellow keratin appeared over the skin, flickering with metallic luster. Making them seem even more inhuman was their noses extending, growing longer, and at the same time their upper lips rose, two fierce tusks extending more than one chi.
The seven simultaneously raised their right feet, then stomping heavily on the stage. The loud sound not only attracted the audience's attention, but at the same time left everyone worried whether the stage would hold up in front of such violent energy.
The three in the middle all had two yellow and two purple spirit rings, and the four on the side each had two yellow and one purple.
From the opponents Tang San discovered that among Elephant Armored School disciples, the bigger their bodies the more powerful they were. Their strength could be determined by their outside appearance.
In the VIP seats, platinum bishop Salas looked at the flesh mountain beside him. Hu Yan Zhen nodded at him, speaking in a low voice:
"Ah Li is the most outstanding disciple of my Elephant Armored School's young generation, my eldest grandson. His innate talent is even a bit better than mine in those days. I'm hoping he will one day be able to become the Elephant Armored School's first Title Douluo."
Hu Yan Zhen didn't try to conceal his voice, and not only did it reach Salas, but also the others in the first row, emperor Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong.
Emperor Xue Ye smiled faintly, saying:
"With such a grandson, school master Hu Yan is truly worthy of congratulations!"
Hu Yan Zhen laughed out loud, the sound shaking the VIP seats,
"Your majesty's praise is too much, for now let's look at Ah Li's performance. This competition the Elephant Armored School's goal is the final three."
Emperor Xue Ye calmly said:
"Only, if I'm not mistaken, this time your grandson's opponents have four fortieth ranked Spirit Ancestors."
Hu Yan Zhen stared blankly a moment. He basically hadn't even considered that his school's disciples would lose, and further adding that the stature of his Elephant Armored School disciples wasn't something other people could compare to, he naturally hadn't paid attention to their opponents. Now hearing emperor Xue Ye's words, his gaze fell on the Shrek Seven Devils.
Just as emperor Xue Ye said, apart from the Evil Eye White Tiger furthest in front, besides the two three spirit ring Jing Ling and Huang Yuan, as well as Xiao Wu, the other three people all also had four spirit rings. Especially Tang San's black fourth spirit ring was particularly attention grabbing.
Hu Yan Zhen looked shocked at Salas, but discovered Salas expression was equally stunned.
In the last match, Shrek Academy revealing two fortieth ranked Spirit Masters had already shocked him enormously, and in this fight they actually added two more. In other words, they had concealed their strength in the first match. Very clearly, his estimation of this academy's strength had been somewhat lacking.
Emperor Xue Ye asked Ning Fengzhi at his side:
"School master Ning, you're quite familiar with this Shrek Academy, do you know who the academy's dean is? I'm rather curious as to just what person could raise such outstanding disciples."
Ning Fengzhi smiled:
"Your majesty, Shrek Academy's dean is called Flender. Perhaps you haven't heard this name, but you certainly heard about the triple nova that shone brilliantly in the Spirit Master world with their spirit fusion ability twenty years ago. They were called the Golden Iron Triangle. This Flender was the flying corner of the Golden Iron Triangle. This current Shrek Academy was founded by the three of them, and these children should be growing under the instruction of the wisdom corner, Grandmaster. The most outstanding of them is Tang San, Grandmaster's only direct disciple."
"Grandmaster?"
Emperor Xue Ye didn't have any impression as he heard this name, but the expression of platinum bishop Salas to his side changed enormously. Even so much that he immediately undisguised passed a few low sentences to Heaven Elephant Hu Yan Zhen next to him.
Hu Yan Zhen looked at him with shock, muttering:
"But, the match has already begun, there shouldn't be enough time."
Salas' expression immediately turned ugly, talking to himself:
"Why would it be him? Why him?"
This time, even Ning Fengzhi felt baffled, and couldn't keep from asking:
"Bishop Salas, do you also know Grandmaster?"
Salas returned to himself, expressionless,
"Who hasn't heard of the Golden Iron Triangle. Isn't this Grandmaster reputed as unparallelled in theory? His relationship with our Spirit Hall isn't common. I didn't expect he would end up in an academy. No wonder. Only he could cultivate such outstanding disciples."
Ning Fengzhi stared blankly a moment. He understood the character of this platinum bishop Salas very well, not only was this person obstinate and self-opinionated, but also petty and small minded. He had already made explicitly clear the familiar relationship between him and Shrek Academy, but now he unexpectedly praised Grandmaster, and further had an anxious expression. There was definitely some secret here.
Emperor Xue Ye smiled:
"Since the two of you both think so highly of this Grandmaster, We would like to experience his elegant manners. For now, let us look at the competition."
Sure enough, while the several people in the VIP seats were opposing each other with needle and spear, the five qualifying matches had already officially begun.
The seven flesh mountains in front of Tang San's seven hadn't launched any attack like the power attack system Spirit Masters in the last match against Heaven Dou Imperial Academy's second team. Instead the seven stood in a line, their first spirit rings simultaneously flaring, and step by step, steadily walked over.
Under the effect of the first spirit rings, these seven flesh mountains originally deep yellow keratin grew a lot more sparkling, as if each was covered in a layer of porcelain glaze. The seven of them really were too enormous, and advancing from the center, they practically occupied half the diameter of the stage. Even though their pace was slow, with each step forward, their imposing manner would subsequently increase somewhat. Whether it was in physique or spirit power, they accorded the Shrek Academy's seven enormous pressure.
"Retreat."
Tang San shouted. This time he didn't conduct his members to advance an immediate attack.
The two power attack system Spirit Masters Dai Mubai and Huang Jun, and close combat system Spirit Master Xiao Wu all withdrew quickly, the two agility attack system Spirit Masters Jing Ling and Zhu Zhuqing retreating on either side of Tang San. It was also at this moment that black Blue Silver Grass appeared on stage.
That black vine-like Blue Silver Grass quickly spread along the ground, swiftly scattering in all directions. One strand among them twined around the thick legs of an Elephant Armored School disciple. But terrifyingly, the Blue Silver Grass after the growth of Tang San's four spirit rings unexpectedly could only make the opponent pause for a moment. The next instant, the Blue Silver Grass immediately emitted tearing sounds.
The pupils of Tang San's eyes contracted. By this simple test he immediately discovered a lot of things. Not only did these Elephant Armored School disciples have astonishing strength, and knew exceptionally well to use their advantage. This terrifying body weight was in no way a decoration, not only could they rely on the power of their bodies to reduce spirit power consumption, but at the same time, after their bodies combined with their spirit power, they could erupt with even more frightful strength and defense. Even though his Blue Silver Grass was durable, a bit of twisting was insufficient to restrict the added terror of their strength after fully using their spirits. It clearly showed how scary their opponents' strength was.
As a result of the stage being circular, the center where both sides first started was the widest area, but now along with the unceasing advancement of their opponents, the space the Shrek Seven Devils had to use on either side was becoming smaller and smaller. In battle, the opponents' enormous bodies allowed them to control a much larger area than ordinary people. If their opponents were force to where no space remained between them, then their strength could also be displayed to its greatest degree.
This was also the reason why the Elephant Armored School's seven didn't anxiously rush forward, they didn't want to expose the slightest gap. Even though there was space between the two sides at the moment, they still maintained their formation. They didn't need to catch all the opponents, as long as they could settle the agility attack system, and especially the auxiliary system members, it was already a success. Another side of defense was endurance. These seven Elephant Armored School disciples by far wasn't something those Heaven Dou Imperial Academy second stringers could compare to. Seeing that four of their opponents had spirit power that reached the fortieth rank, they immediately used their most dependable strategy.
