Chapter 194: Shrek vs Monster (1)
The final day of the competition arrived swiftly. The last event was the team battle, which pitted Shrek Academy against Monster Academy.
The Star Luo Empire valued personal heroism more than anything, but this match was still highly anticipated. After all, one of the teams was the legendary Shrek Academy, which had stood for 20,000 years and never fallen.
The Star Luo Empire was far away from the Sun and Moon Federation, but it had originated from the Douluo Continent, and its soul guidance technology had also advanced to a certain degree.
Most people in the Star Luo Empire were familiar with Shrek Academy, and Monster Academy was the pride of the empire's soul masters. Thus, the Star Luo Stadium was packed with spectators long before the match began.
There was also a rumor that there would be a special event at the closing ceremony. Although no one knew what it was, everyone was curious and excited.
The stadium was filled with noise and excitement, but the waiting area for the players was well insulated from the sound, creating a stark contrast between the two environments.
Tang Wulin and his teammates from Shrek Academy had been looking forward to this match for a long time. Although they did not perform well in the individual events, they were confident in their team strength.
After all, Shrek Academy focused more on team training than anything else. And with Tang Wulin's presence, they believed that Long Yue would be greatly suppressed.
Without Long Yue, the strongest fighter, Shrek Academy had the upper hand in this match. They thought that the Star Luo Empire, which emphasized personal power so much, would not be able to match their teamwork.
As the last match of the continental youth soul master competition, it attracted the attention of Dai Tianling, the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, who came to watch it in person. He was accompanied by En Ci, the dean of Monster Academy and the strongest person in the empire.
After Dai Tianling gave a brief speech, it was time for the teams to enter the stage. Since Shrek Academy only had six members, Monster Academy also sent six members to avoid being criticized.
On Shrek Academy's side, Tang Wulin was the leader, flanked by Xie Xie and Yuan En Yehui on his left and right. Xu Lizhi was behind him, and Ye Xinglan and Wu Siduo were on his left and right respectively. They formed a tight formation.
They only had one support soul master, Xu Lizhi, so they naturally protected him with the others.
On Monster Academy's side, Long Yue was the frontman. Behind him was Ye Zhi, the support soul master who had the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda martial soul. Dai Yueyan and Dai Yue'er were on his left and right, and Su Mu, the control soul master, was at the rear. They also had a solid formation.
The two teams stood at opposite ends of the ring, staring at each other with confidence and determination.
From the start of the continental youth soul master competition, there had been many clashes between Monster Academy and Shrek Academy. However, except for Tang Wulin, who had defeated several Monster Academy students in the individual events, the other Shrek students had not gained any advantage over Monster Academy.
As for Monster Academy, they had Long Yue, an extraordinary soul master, who had won the individual championship. He had also teamed up with Dai Yue'er and won the double championship.
Monster Academy had achieved impressive results, but it was mostly thanks to Long Yue. Without him, the final individual championship might have gone to someone from another continent, like Le Zhengyu.
In today's match, Monster Academy had the obvious advantage. They not only had Long Yue, a six-ringed soul emperor with a two-word battle armor, but also five other soul kings, except for Dai Yue'er, who is a four-ringed soul ancestor due to her young age.
Shrek Academy was at a disadvantage. All their students were four-ringed soul ancestor. However, everyone knew that Shrek Academy was good at creating miracles, and their students had the ability to challenge higher levels, so no one dared to underestimate them.
The outcome of the match was hard to predict. All the soul masters on Douluo Star knew that Shrek Academy was excellent at cultivating teams, especially the famous Shrek Seven Monsters.
This was bound to be a fierce showdown, and both sides wanted to win. For Monster Academy, this was their home turf. If they lost to Shrek Academy, their reputation would suffer greatly.
Shrek Academy was not playing at home, but they still valued the honor of their academy. Moreover, Cai Yue'er had told them that this was a test for them, which was related to whether they could earn the title of Shrek's Seven Monsters and the quota to enter the inner court.
Although Cai Yue'er did not specify how far they had to go in the test, they were the genius students of Shrek Academy, and they naturally wanted to do their best, which meant winning the final championship.
"Three! Two! One! The match begins!"
The referee announced the start of the match with an excited voice, and all the spectators sat up straight. Although most of them had absolute confidence in Monster Academy, they were also eager to see a thrilling match.
Cai Yue'er and Wu Zhangkong in the VIP box also straightened their backs. This match was very important for their Shrek Academy. Their previous defeat by Anping and Gu Yuena from Sun Moon Academy had already cast some doubts on Shrek Academy's teaching quality.
Although the students of Monster Academy were several years older than them, losing to them would still affect Shrek Academy's reputation.
After all, Sun Moon Academy was a soul master academy as renowned as Shrek Academy, and Monster Academy was clearly modeled after Shrek Academy.
If they lost to an academy that copied them, and this news reached the Sun Moon Federation, those who disliked Shrek Academy would surely make a fuss about it.
As soon as the referee finished speaking, Tang Wulin grabbed the bun that Xu Lizhi threw to him, stuffed it into his mouth, and dashed out of the formation. As he did so, the golden soul ring under his feet lit up. His body grew larger, and golden scales covered his skin.
Tang Wulin's target was none other than Long Yue from Monster Academy. He was the biggest threat to them. No one but Tang Wulin could resist Long Yue's attack.
