Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Qiangu Dongfeng smiled and said with complete confidence, Why dont we do this? Its fine to battle for five rounds of one-on-one then we add on another round of seven-on-seven and also two rounds of two-on-two. The participants for one-on-one and two-on-two competitions cant be repeated. The winner of one-on-one and two-on-two will be awarded with one point each while seven-on-seven will be given three points. The side with the highest total score will be the final victor. If we are the victor, Shrek shall return the divine mecha and compensate for the loss. If we are the loser then all the past shall be forgotten. I have heard that the Shrek Seven Monsters are the most powerful fighting force in the history of Shrek for a long time. I wonder if all of you are daring enough to accept the challenge of two-on-two and seven-on-seven? Oh, and also, since all of you are representing Shrek, I think it would be best if the Tang Sect did not join in, yes?

The old man was truly a cunning old fox! He was obviously referring to the Amorous and Heartless Douluos.

Tang Wulins expression revealed that he was in a state of deep contemplation. He did notice that he was frowning.

Their conversation would spread from mouth to mouth, so the crowd would know what they said.

The Spirit Pagoda battling against Shrek would certainly be a grand event that would shock the entire continent. It appeared to be just a simple fight, but was this not a trial of strength between Shrek Academy and the Spirit Pagoda? The victor and loser of this contest was not a minor gamble, as whoever lost would be seen as inferior to the victor.

Tang Sect Master, are you going to back out? Qiangu Dongfeng was obviously using his sarcasm to put pressure on Tang Wulin.

Cold radiance flashed in Tang Wulins eyes. Qiangu Dongfeng, even though we cant just have the final say alone but we cant just follow the plan proposed by you right. The battle of two-on-two involves two people sparring against two people so it should be considered two points of course. We cant just give it one point. I will agree to five rounds of one-on-one, two rounds of two-on-two, one round of seven-on-seven. The participants of one-on-one and two-on-two are not allowed to participate repeatedly.

Alright, so it is decided as such then. Qiangu Dongfeng agreed to it almost without the slightest concern. There were eight rounds of matches. Since the participants for the one-on-one and two-on-two were not allowed to appear repeatedly, this signified that there would be a total of nine people involved. On the other hand, even though the participants from earlier competitions were allowed to engage in the seven-on-seven, how many of them were capable of maintaining their fighting capacity after a great battle?

It was a trial of inner secrets. Moreover, Shrek Academy was not allowed to receive support from the Tang Sect. Qiangu Dongfeng was absolutely confident that he could win. Since he had the courage to come, he was bearing trump cards, of course.

Tang Wulin said, How shall we decide on the sequence of every round then?

Qiangu Dongfeng said, That is simple. You can send out your people for the first round and we will take the second round, and so on and so forth.

There was a total of seven rounds for the earlier competitions, so the latter side would have the upper hand of course. Qiangu Dongfeng refused to be on the losing side at all.

Tang Wulin scoffed coldly. In the name of fairness, I think we are better off sending out our participants together. A countdown will be carried out for every round with both sides participants flying into the air simultaneously for the competition. Anyhow, this is also going to be a battle in the sky.

Qiangu Dongfeng raised his eyebrows ever so slightly. Alright.

At present, he was thinking to himself in his heart. Wulin, oh, Wulin. Youre still too young and too naive. You already lost as soon as you agreed to the bet.

Get ready. We shall begin the first round after ten minutes. As he was speaking, Qiangu Dongfeng turned around and took his people into the distance.

Shrek Academys side was doing the same as well. They retreated slowly.

The reporters that were extremely disappointed earlier had become very excited. What else could be more exciting than seeing the development of this event?

It was the great competition between the supreme fighting forces of Shrek and Spirit Pagoda. The idea was truly impressive.

The reporters were rushing over at their fastest speed upon receiving the information, including those stationed in Spirit Academy.

Of course, they only had the courage to film from a distance. This was a competition between the most powerful forces. It could be deadly if they got caught in the battle!

A slight smile emerged on Tang Wulins face. Wisps of faint cold radiance diffused from his face. He clasped his hands together in front of his chest. Every time radiance glimmered in his eyes, the air would distort slightly.

On opposite sides, both factions were plotting on their own and arranging their order. The competition was not only a trial of abilities, but also intelligence. It was crucial that they properly arranged the sequence.

The enrollment to Shrek Academy still continued. However, even those parents and students that had already had their turn were not in the mood to continue the enrollment program anymore. They were all sitting in the distance waiting for the start of this earth-shaking competition.

Ten minutes passed quickly. Tang Wulin and Qiangu Dongfeng walked out from their positions and stood facing one another at a distance.

They gazed into each others eyes.

Three, two, one, begin!

Soon after the end of their mutual countdown, someone flew up from each of their groups and headed straight into the sky.

The person flying up from the Spirit Pagodas side was an inconspicuous middle-aged man with an ordinary physique and appearance. He was a man that would not draw attention to himself in a crowd.

However, his body had already turned into a pitch-black blot after he flew into the sky. This was because there was a total of nine black soul rings that completely covered him in a split second. He made a grand display of his abilities as a Title Douluo.

The first round of the competition was significant as it gave both sides a chance to sound out one another and it was also the first trial for the participants. The winner would certainly be able to boost the teams morale while the losing teams morale would be affected more or less.

On the other hand, the person that flew from Shrek Academys side was the senior disciple of Shrek Academys old inner court. He was Lan Muzi who was barely known to outsiders and whose soul rings were not as powerful as the Shrek Seven Monsters.

Lan Muzi soared into the sky, but there seemed to be nothing extraordinary about his appearance.

He was almost the same age as Wu Zhangkong. He had graduated from the same year as Wu Zhangkong too, but he was not nearly as cold. There was always a warm, kind smile on his face, and anyone would find him to be a friendly person. He was an exceedingly popular person in the academy. Before Shrek City was destroyed in the explosion, he had already made a name for himself in the inner court.

He would have become a member of Shrek Academy Sea Gods Pavilion for sure if the great catastrophe had not dawned upon them.

He was the true senior disciple of the inner court!

Lan Muzis silhouette arose slowly into the sky with his long robes blowing in the wind. It was as if he was standing on a cloud that was lifting his body to the heavens.

He had not unleashed his martial soul as soon as he appeared, so none of his souls ring had been revealed. There was still his usual faint smile on his face that felt warm and friendly to everyones eyes.

Both of the participants flew high into the sky with their eyes fixed upon one another. Faint radiance glimmered in Lan Muzis eyes while the stocky man with an average appearance from the Spirit Pagoda on the opposite had a calm expression. A battle axe appeared in each of his hands following the unleashing of his martial soul.

The battle axes were blood red in color and emitted a faint crimson aura. As soon as the pair of axes appeared, an intense bloodlust burst forth from the Title Douluos body, revealing his tyrannical nature.

The Bloodthirsty Douluo Yun Tianheng! The words burst from Lan Muzis mouth.

His pair of Bloodthirsty Battle Axes were rather famous. Even though it was Lan Muzis first time encountering this person, he still managed to name him correctly in one attempt.

The Bloodthirsty Douluo Yun Tianhengs lips cracked into a smile. It instantly turned his originally common-looking face into ferocious one. Even his eyes had turned blood red.

The Bloodthirsty Douluo was renowned in the soul masters world on the continent. His martial soul was the Bloodthirsty Battle Axes. More importantly, he was a student in Shrek Academy during his earlier years.

He was accepted to study in the outer court of Shrek Academy with remarkable results. He had completed all the courses in the outer court in just four years. Moreover, he had also become a one-word battle armor master and easily got accepted into inner court.

If everything had gone according to plan, he would have certainly become an outstanding disciple and powerhouse of the inner court. He was highly appraised by the teachers that taught him in the past. Everyone had assumed that he would become the mainstay of Shreks inner court in the future.

The Bloodthirsty Douluo was about sixty years old. He had been the inner courts disciple senior a few generations before Lan Muzi, but he had only been in the inner court for six months before he was expelled from Shrek.
