Yue Zhengyu spoke with a smile, “I understand. We’re actually anticipating the match with all of you, too.”

Long Yue nodded. Yue Zhengyu was acting even more level-head than in the past. He was the eldest of the male Shrek Seven Monsters. Tang Wulin was not there, so he chose to step out at this moment. He looked around to everybody else and greeted them one by one. In turn, the rest of the Eight Heavenly Kings following behind Long Yue also stepped forward. Both sides greeted each other in a rather kind and simple manner.

Before the competition, both the six Shrek Monsters and the Heavenly Kings Clan were privately itching for a fight. However, when they actually met each other in the gymnasium, it felt like everything had happened a lifetime ago. The youths from the past had already turned into young men and women. Each of them had their own professions, and they had already reached the pinnacles of their respective fields.

Compared to before, they were no longer so carefree anymore. Mankind was communal, so every person would certainly be affected by society. Even though they were filled with anticipation for the match, they could not behave recklessly as they had done in their youth.

The Smiley Face Douluo was already at the gymnasium. He came in between both sides and said with a smile, “In the match that follows, don’t go any further than necessary. When the victor and loser have been determined or when any fighter has obviously lost his or her fighting capacity, then I shall take action. All of you are the elites of the Tang Sect. Sparring allows us to make friends through the use of combat and not meant as a battle of life and death.”

“Yes.” The group saluted the Smiley Face Douluo in unison.

“Then we shall begin. I believe everyone is growing anxious from the wait too.”

Long Yue grabbed Xu Mi’er’s hand in a very natural manner, then he patted on Dai Yueyan’s shoulder before he brought Dai Yun’er along to walk down the competition stage. He did not have any words for Dai Yueyan. They had been brothers for so many years, so the understanding between them had already achieved perfection. There was utterly no need to strategize too much as long as each of them did their best.

He was not planning to participate as expected! Yue Zhengyu suddenly felt a little disappointed in his heart as he looked at Long Yue descending from the competition stage with a burning gaze.

There were only twelve people left behind on the stage who were about to begin the match.

Among the six Shrek Monsters, there were Yuanen Yehui, Yue Zhengyu, Xu Xiaoyan, Xie Xie and Xu Lizhi.

In the Heavenly Kings Clan, there were the Tiger King Dai Yueyan, the Fox King Su Mu, the Wolf King Hua Lantang, the Wind King Lin San, the Pagoda King Ye Zhi and the Shadow King Teng Teng.

The Smiley Face Douluo made a hand gesture and the gymnasium’s protective shield slowly rose up and covering the enormous gymnasium. At the same time, it blocked all the noises from the external world and turned the rather clamorous arena quiet at once.

The audience shut their mouths instinctively as their eyes fixated upon all twelve of the fighters on the competition stage.

Both sides moved back simultaneously into their zones while arranging themselves into their battle formations.

On the Heavenly Kings Clan’s side, the Tiger King Dai Yueyan assumed the lead and stood at the front. The Wolf King Hua Lantang and the Wind King Lin San both were at at his sides. The Fox King Su Mu and the Shadow King Teng Teng was behind Dai Yueyan while the Pagoda King Ye Zhi had the rear. These six formed an inverted triangle battle formation.

On Shrek’s side, Yuanen Yehui, Ye Xinglan and Yue Zhengyu were at the front. These three assault-type battle soul masters stood in a straight row, with Xu Lizhi and Xu Xiaoyan behind them and the agility-type battle soul master Xie Xie standing at the rear. They had also formed an inverted triangle formation.

When seen from under the stage, both sides having the same battle formation looked to be extremely symmetrical in the gymnasium.

The Smiley Face Douluo’s bold voice rang out, “Begin.”

The confrontation between the most powerful representatives of the Tang Sect from different continents had finally commenced.

Long Yue stood by the side of the gymnasium. He watched the twelve people standing on the stage fervently. Xu Mi’er and Dai Yun’er standing by his side were no exception as they were completely absorbed in watching the competition.

This match was long anticipated by the Heavenly Kings Clan. they still refused to admit or accept their previous failure. On the other hand, the best method to cleanse the humiliation of their loss was to best the opponents that had defeated them before.

Both sides moved almost simultaneously. As soul masters, they unleashed their martial souls immediately. No one was planning to show mercy in this competition. Thus, they had not only unleashed their martial souls but also their battle armors as well.

Soul rings shimmering with dazzling light arose from underneath their feet as radiant sparkles bloomed from their bodies. Their battle armors appeared and covered each one of them completely.

Among the Heavenly Kings Clan, a somewhat hideous soul ring with a serrated edge on the outside emerged from underneath the Tiger King Dai Yueyan’s feet. A gigantic tiger’s head adorned his chestplate and his armor appeared to be exceedingly thick and heavy, making him seem tall and imposing.

His aura rose sharply. As the battle armor was unleashed, he completed his White Tiger Diamond Transformation. His body swelled up abruptly into a giant tiger.

It was his three-word battle armor. There was no doubt that he had a suit of three-word battle armor equipped with a domain. His white wings spread out behind his back while A pair of tiger claws popped out of the battle armor. The armor’s claws and the tiger claws unleashed by his martial soul fused into one. The sharp claws not only emerged from his hands but even in from the front of his feet. An incomparably powerful aura bloomed outward. One could faintly hear the tiger’s roar bursting from his body.

The Wolf King Hua Lantang stood by Dai Yueyan’s side. A pair of dark green wings had also spread out from his back. Muscle-like battle armor covered his whole body. Every piece of the dark green armor was bursting with a threatening aura. A dragon’s head and a wolf’s head adorned each of his sides. There was no domain underneath his feet, so it appeared that his battle armor was two-word battle armor.

The Wind King Lin San was at Dai Yueyan’s other side. His green battle armor was slim and fitted well to his body. It was filled with the gracefulness of the wind, but it, too, did not have three-word battle armor’s domain. However, eight shimmering soul rings arose from under his feet. The four purple and four black rings were a sufficient display of his prowess.

There was a total of four ranks to battle armor. Every rank was vastly different from the rank before. The Tiger King Dai Yueyan was the current crown prince, so, naturally, it would not be too difficult for the royal household to forge him a suit of three-word armor. Even so, it was not that easy even for the privileged elites of the Monster Academy to forge a suit of three-word battle armor, let alone ordinary soul masters. Thus, Hua Lantang and Lin San were still two-word battle armor masters. Their three-word battle armor was in the research stage at the moment, so it would take another two to three years at most before the Tang Sect would forge the armor for them.

On the other hand, another person with a suit of three-word battle armor was standing behind them. The Fox King Su Mu’s eight large tails perked up behind his back. His battle armor was also in white, but it appeared to have a fuzzy texture that was made of some unknown metallic material. It looked more like a fur coat than battle armor. If not for the domain with multiple edges that appeared underneath his feet, the characteristic of three-word battle armor, it would have been very difficult for one to believe that he was clad in a suit of armor.

The Shadow King Teng Teng was by Su Mu’s side in two-word battle armor. His cultivation base was relatively weaker among the Eight Heavenly Kings.

However, there was one last three-word battle armor master on the team, and it was the Pagoda King Ye Zhi.

Despite Ye Zhi’s cultivation base being inferior to Lin San’s and Hua Lantang’s, she possessed the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, which was reputed to be the number one martial soul! Its supporting effect was so great it was considered a power of the highest grade. It was precisely because of this that the Tang Sect gathered its resources and took the lead to help her complete forging her three-word battle armor.

Ye Zhi’s three-word battle armor was absolutely exquisite. It was crystal clear and shimmering with a radiance of seven colors. The battle armor was encrusted with all sorts of jewels while its body was transparent. Her battle armor was simply like a piece of art covered with a peculiar texture.

After her cultivation base reached the rank of a seven-ringed Soul Sage, the Tang Sect did not have the slightest hesitation when helping Ye Zhi to forge this suit of battle armor. In reality, the quality of Ye Zhi’s armor had even surpassed the Fox King Su Mu’s.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda at Soul Sage rank was terrifying. One could only find that out after engaging in a hand-to-hand fight. Almost the entire team’s fighting capacity could be doubled in Ye Zhi’s presence. The terrifying amplification effect would become everyone’s nightmare.

Three suits of three-word battle armor, three suits of two-word battle armor, three Soul Douluos and three Soul Sages. Such a combination was considered rather powerful in the soul masters’ world on any continent. Moreover, they were the top students of Monster Academy, so their true abilities were far more outstanding than soul masters of the same rank.

People were already gasping in admiration in the areas surrounding the gymnasium. Meanwhile, just as the Heavenly Kings Clan was unleashing its soul rings and battle armors, the group from Shrek Academy on the other side had also unleashed the battle armors and martial souls that belonged to each of them.

Yuanen Yehui was covered in a suit of dark yellow battle armor. The domain underneath her feet appeared in double layers with the outer ring dark yellow in color, while the inner ring was dark red. The two colors enhanced one another’s beauty while the domain appeared partly visible and partly hidden. Extremely complicated patterns emerged indistinctly from the inside of it, especially in the dark red ring. It was as if there was a small world inside the domain.

There seemed to be nothing unusual about the battle armor itself. It appeared to be simple armor that was not considered especially complicated nor exaggerated, completely wrapping itself around Yuanen Yehui’s entire body. The battle armor’s style was largely related to Yuanen Yehui’s low key manner.
