Chapter 60 The Thousand-Handed Asura has been replaced
The host suddenly waved his hand, pointed to the aisle on the left, and raised his voice by eight octaves:
"First of all, let us welcome with the warmest applause the elites from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the true chosen ones of heaven—"
"Royal Fighting Team!!!"
Amidst deafening cheers and waving banners bearing aristocratic crests, seven elegant young men and women in silver uniforms slowly emerged.
"Their captain is Yu Tianheng, who possesses the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, known as the 'Number One Beast Soul on the Continent'!"
A tall, slender young man with piercing eyes stepped out, each step seemingly carrying the force of thunder, exuding an overwhelming arrogance.
"Their vice-captain, the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Soul Master—Dugu Yan!"
Dugu Yan swayed her alluring figure as she walked out, her green eyes revealing a cold and wild beauty that drew screams from countless male spectators.
The host spoke very quickly, introducing these outstanding individuals one by one.
"The brother duo with the strongest defensive martial soul, the Xuanwu Turtle—Shi Mo and Shi Mo!"
"The Ripper of the Sky, the Soul Sovereign of the Wind Chime Bird—Yu Feng!"
"The Phantom of the Night, the Soul Sovereign of the Ghost Leopard—Oslo!"
Finally, the host lowered his voice slightly, conveying a sense of mystery and awe.
"And... a miracle among support-type Soul Masters, possessing the legendary Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Soul—Ye Lingling!"
A mysterious woman with her face veiled in black stood quietly at the back of the line.
Although she didn't possess an overwhelming aura, those in the know understood that her presence was the foundation of the Royal Fighting Team's invincibility.
This was a top-tier lineup so perfectly configured it was almost despair-inducing! Every member possessed top-tier martial souls and the best soul ring configurations!
After the Royal Fighting Team was introduced, the nobles and wealthy merchants present erupted in thunderous applause.
Immediately afterwards, the host took a deep breath, turned to the right aisle, and his voice became even more fervent and inflammatory:
"And their opponent is the mysterious dark horse who has brought us countless surprises this past month, rising from obscurity to the peak of Silver Soul Mastery—"
"The Shrek Seven Devils Team!!"
"Roar—!!"
The other half of the audience erupted in cheers, with Shrek supporters chanting their favorite codenames wildly.
Seven figures wearing Shrek monster masks emerged, exuding a chilling aura.
"They are—Evil-Eyed White Tiger! Netherworld Spirit Cat! Soft-Boned Enchanting Rabbit! Evil Fire Phoenix! Sausage Specialist! Seven Treasures Glazed Tile!"
The host skillfully announced the code names of the first six people, and each name elicited screams from the crowd.
However, when he was about to introduce the last person, who had always been the soul and core of the team, his voice suddenly stopped.
Because the latest list he received showed that the person in that position had changed.
The audience was stunned. They were eagerly awaiting the appearance of the guy with the magical control abilities, known as the "Thousand-Handed Asura."
However, walking in the middle of the group was a man who was taller and more composed than Tang San, wearing an unfamiliar blue mask.
The host, being experienced, immediately reacted and shouted in a tone full of suspense and surprise:
"My God! The Shrek team made an amazing decision tonight!"
"Their core control-type Soul Master, 'Thousand Hands Asura,' didn't even start!"
"Replacing him is a mysterious player who has never appeared in team battles before; his codename is—"
"Azure Emperor!!!"
The entire audience erupted in an uproar.
"Where is Thousand-Armed Asura? Why isn't he going up?"
"Has Shrek Academy gone mad? They changed their core player right before the battle against the Royal Fighting Team?"
A chorus of doubts, boos, and even more frenzied discussions instantly swept through the entire venue.
High in the stands, Yu Xiaogang listened to the doubts around him and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
Very good.
The louder the doubts, the more severe the backlash will be when you lose.
And in the center of the stage.
Despite the tens of thousands of skeptical gazes from the audience, Ye Liuyun stood calmly at the very front of the line.
Yu Tianheng, who was opposite him, frowned, feeling slighted.
"The match begins!!"
With a loud shout from the referee, the atmosphere on the fighting stage instantly became tense.
However, the Royal Fighting Team did not make a move immediately.
As the team leader, Yu Tianheng stood at the front of the team with his arms crossed, his eyes flashing with thunderous anger.
Looking at the unfamiliar "Azure Emperor" opposite him, he did not feel valued, but rather felt a deep sense of humiliation.
"Changing commanders at the last minute?"
Yu Tianheng sneered, his voice, enveloped in soul power, resounding throughout the entire arena:
"What? Is that so-called 'Thousand-Handed Asura' too scared to go on stage?"
"Or did you know you would lose to us, and then changed someone at the last minute so you would have an excuse if you lost?"
He glanced at Ye Liuyun with disdain, a sneer curling at the corner of his mouth.
Standing behind Yu Tianheng, the Wind Chime Bird Soul Master Yu Feng couldn't help but chuckle, pointing at Ye Liuyun's cyan mask and mockingly saying in a sarcastic tone:
"Boss, don't say that."
"But its name is 'Azure Emperor'!"
"Hey! You kid with the mask!"
Yu Feng whistled at Ye Liuyun, his eyes gleaming with a flirtatious light:
"Is your martial spirit a blade of grass? Or a wildflower by the roadside? Giving yourself such a grandiose name, aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew?"
"Hahaha—!"
The members of the Royal Fighting Team burst into laughter.
That was the sense of superiority that nobles had ingrained in their bones when facing commoners.
"Fart!"
The laughter of the Royal Fighting Team was still echoing when Shrek Academy exploded first.
As a former prince of Star Luo, when had Dai Mubai ever suffered such humiliation?
Moreover, he was already seething with anger tonight, wanting to prove himself to Zhu Zhuqing and give Ye Liuyun a hard time.
Being insulted and looked down upon at this moment, his tightly taut string of reason snapped completely.
"Dare to insult Shrek? I'll tear your mouth apart!"
Roar—!
They didn't even wait for Ye Liuyun, the so-called "core of the control system," to give orders.
Dai Mubai roared to the sky, his golden hair instantly exploding.
"White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"
The third spirit ring suddenly shone brightly, and Dai Mubai's body swelled up, his muscles bulged, and with a fierce and violent aura, he broke away from the group and charged towards Yu Tianheng on the opposite side like a cannonball.
This charge not only startled the Royal Fighting Team, but also stunned the Shrek Academy members themselves.
"Boss Dai! Don't be impulsive!"
Oscar exclaimed in surprise.
"Formation! The formation is broken!"
Ma Hongjun also looked anxious and subconsciously tried to use his soul skill to cover himself.
The originally tight "3-3-1" formation was instantly breached by Dai Mubai's unauthorized actions, creating a huge gap.
The most rigid front row was gone, leaving a gap in the back.
"Fool, playing this trick."
Ye Liuyun stood at the back of the group, looking at the huge figure from behind, and frowned. This was obviously deliberately trying to cause him trouble; it was just child's play.
Although he was cursing, he did not stand idly by.
After all, he was standing on the stage now, representing his own reputation.
Ye Liuyun's first spirit ring lit up beneath his feet, and the seeds of Blue Silver Grass began to take root and parasitize everywhere.
Countless dark green vines slithered along the ground like serpents, moving at an astonishing speed.
Dai Mubai gave up his front-row seat.
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, both agile attackers, could only grit their teeth and follow, trying to fill the gap left by Dai Mubai.
However, their opponents were the battle-hardened Royal Fighting Team.
Looking at Dai Mubai charging towards him like a mad dog, Yu Tianheng's eyes flashed with contempt, but he was not flustered at all.
"Good timing!"
"I'll show you what the true number one beast spirit in the world is!"
Instead of retreating, Yu Tianheng advanced, his right arm's ferocious dragon claw crackling with lightning, countless tiny electric snakes hissing in the air.
"Thunder Dragon Claw!"
Boom!!
Two figures, one in gold and one in blue, collided violently in the center of the Soul Arena.
The White Tiger's intense light wave and the Thunder Dragon's lightning collided instantly.
Immediately afterwards, a muffled groan was heard.
Dai Mubai's figure flew backward like a kite with a broken string, his feet carving two deep grooves into the hard stone slab, his entire right arm trembling violently, and covered in charred black.
Even with the Vajra Transformation activated, the Evil-Eyed White Tiger was still directly suppressed by the top-tier Martial Soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex!
"That's the difference."
Yu Tianheng stood proudly, not even taking a single step back.
Dai Mubai gritted his teeth, utterly unconvinced.
"Again."
Yu Tianheng didn't take Dai Mubai seriously at all, and waved his hand:
"Move out! Clear the area!"
