"How powerful?" Yufeng's brows knitted tightly. Evidently, he had developed a keen interest in the strength of this new team.
Duguyan smiled slightly and turned her gaze to Yu Tianheng. "Tianheng, do you think you can defeat Kuangxi?"
Yu Tianheng confidently raised the corners of his mouth. As an outstanding soul master, his confident smile seemed to have become an inseparable part of him.
"What kind of question is that? Of course I can win," he said firmly, his voice full of the pride of a victor.
However, when Duguyan then asked, "What if you don't activate your martial soul?" This hypothesis made Yu Tianheng's confidence waver slightly.
His smile froze a little, and a trace of hesitation flashed through his mind.
Kuangxi's body was as massive as a small mountain. Even without the assistance of a martial soul, his astonishing size and strength were daunting enough.
"Perhaps... I should be able to win," Yu Tianheng said, his voice showing, for the first time, a bit of uncertainty, as if he himself wasn't completely sure.
Duguyan didn't stop. Her gaze locked directly onto Yu Tianheng as she said slowly, "What if someone can punch Kuangxi flying without activating their martial soul? Do you believe it?"
"Impossible!" Yu Tianheng almost instinctively retorted, his voice carrying an unconcealable shock and disbelief.
His eyes widened abruptly, and a tempestuous wave surged in his heart.
In Yu Tianheng's understanding, even the most powerful soul master, without the assistance of a martial soul, couldn't possibly achieve such a feat.
Kuangxi's size and strength were obvious to all. He was an almost invincible existence. If someone could really knock him flying without activating their martial soul, it would undoubtedly shatter all of Yu Tianheng's perceptions of the soul master world.
"The Maple Leaf Divine Sword from the Shrek Team can do it," Duguyan said, her voice calm and firm, as if stating an indisputable fact.
"Maple Leaf Divine Sword? Isn't that the one with extremely fast speed?" Yufeng's eyes widened in shock.
"That's him," Duguyan affirmed, her eyes glinting with recognition and admiration for Maple Leaf Divine Sword.
"Ultimate power and speed. This Maple Leaf Divine Sword seems quite extraordinary," Asuro remarked, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
"I wonder if this Maple Leaf Divine Sword has a girlfriend," Ye Lingling suddenly interjected.
Yufeng's lips curled into a mischievous smile. "Lingling, are you longing for a man?"
"Mind your own business," Ye Lingling replied. Although there was a bit of annoyance in her tone, the joking element was hard to hide.
Yu Tianheng's brows knitted tightly, and a complex glint flashed in his eyes.
His sharp intuition told him that things might not be as simple as they seemed on the surface.
When Duguyan mentioned Maple Leaf Divine Sword, although her voice was steady, Yu Tianheng caught a fleeting strange glint in her eyes.
That subtle change in an instant made a sense of unease flash through his heart.
This strange emotion was definitely more than just a simple recognition or appreciation for a powerful opponent.
Something's wrong!
There must be something wrong!
Although he had never intended to marry Duguyan, deep in his heart, she had long been Yu Tianheng's forbidden fruit that no one else was allowed to touch.
The thought that someone might lay a hand on what he considered his own made his anger boil. The fury churned like a raging inferno in his chest.
Yu Tianheng's martial soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, awakened quietly within his body. As if sensing the master's anger, it slowly spread with an imposing pressure. The power of thunder faintly emerged around him.
This pressure, like something tangible, oppressed the surrounding air, making it hard to breathe.
Yu Tianheng's fists clenched tightly, his knuckles cracking.
"Give it a few more days, and that brat, Maple Leaf Divine Sword, will learn his place," Yu Tianheng secretly resolved in his heart, a sharp glint of Killing intent flashing in his eyes.
...
Under the gentle touch of the night, the lights of the Soto Grand Spirit Arena were like thousands of brilliant stars, inlaid beneath the pitch - black night sky, becoming the focus that attracted the eyes from all directions.
In this place of dazzling starlight, the name of the Shrek Seven Devils shone brightly like a newly - risen star within the Soto Grand Spirit Arena in just one week. Their extraordinary strength and tacit cooperation demonstrated in the team battles had impressed everyone.
In the individual arenas, they achieved victory with an overwhelming advantage, shocking all the spectators.
Every match was full of passion, making people's blood boil.
Before they knew it, they had earned a large number of points.
Director Ao approached Flanders with a hint of anticipation and said,
"On behalf of the Spirit Arena, I hope the team battle that the Shrek Seven Devils participate in today can be held in the central main Spirit Battle Arena."
"This... I'm afraid it doesn't conform to the rules. In the past, only teams with Silver Spirit Badges were allowed to appear in the main Spirit Battle Arena," Flanders frowned slightly, a hint of doubt and confusion in his voice.
Director Ao sighed, a trace of helplessness and worry flashing in his eyes. He said slowly,
"To be honest with you, a week ago, a new soul master team arrived. All members are at the Silver Spirit Badge level, recruited by several major nobles in Soto City. They've been on a winning streak, causing us quite a bit of loss."
Chen Feng, listening on the side, secretly thought that the Grand Spirit Arena was about to counteract under - the - table operations with similar means.
These noble - formed ace teams pretended to be new faces, won victories, and then left in a hurry.
"Silver Spirit Badge - level soul masters should have a cultivation level of above level 40. Our Shrek team hasn't reached that yet," Flanders' brows knitted tightly, his voice carrying a hint of helplessness.
"Although they are at the Silver Spirit Badge level, they are all Soul Masters below level 40," Director Ao said.
"What!" A look of solemnity immediately flashed across Flanders' face.
Director Ao added in a deep voice, "They all have the best soul - ring configuration, and their levels are not low. Just a few days ago, they completely defeated the Crazy Team."
"Such an opponent seems a bit too strong," Flanders couldn't help but sigh.
"Dean, don't worry. Our Shrek team will definitely be able to completely defeat the opponent," Chen Feng said fearlessly.
The words that Director Ao had originally intended to persuade Flanders to give it a try suddenly got stuck in his throat after hearing Chen Feng's reply.
Although the Shrek team was quite powerful, they clearly didn't have an advantage against the Royal Dou Team.
He had originally just given it a shot, but he didn't expect this young man to be so confident.
"Let them have a try. If they can defeat the Royal Dou Team, that would be great," Director Ao thought to himself, a hint of expectation showing in his eyes.
Subsequently, he sat down with Flanders and began to discuss the terms in detail.
Director Ao's voice carried a hint of temptation, "If you can defeat the Royal Dou Team, we will offer the Shrek team a generous reward."
