It was certainly worth looking forward to who would ultimately emerge victorious.
After all, although the Sun Moon Empire did not seem to have as much hype as Shrek Academy on the surface, the latter had only fielded their reserve team and a few main players from start to finish. Even when they faced the Star Luo team in the semifinals, their most mysterious captain and vice-captain had not even stepped onto the stage.
Meanwhile, the siblings Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen had also left a deep impression on the audience.
Holding over a hundred tier-five long-range spirit cannons in hand, that scene was simply terrifying.
With this lineup facing Shrek Academy, it was bound to be a spectacle.
"Hiss…"
Captain Ma Rulong's eyelids twitched. Looking at the many disciples of Shrek Academy opposite them who were eager to try, he took a sharp breath.
"Captain, don't lose courage before the battle even starts," Lin Xi said with a grin from the side.
"Facing a powerhouse of the Soul Saint Realm and another monster Soul King whose combat power is not in the least inferior to a Soul Saint and who has endless tricks up his sleeve, hoho…" Captain Ma Rulong shook his head with a bitter smile.
It wasn't that he wanted to be afraid.
Rather, after watching the matches for so many days, Shrek Academy had not hidden anything at all. Instead, they had generously revealed their combat power before the finals. The more he watched, the more alarmed and despondent he became.
Especially that Lu Cheng.
Just his illusion techniques alone were enough to cause a massive headache, not to mention that his combat power was also formidable enough to easily rival a Soul Saint.
Now, this was almost a guaranteed loss; he couldn't see any chance of winning.
"Even if we lose, exchanging blows with him makes this trip worthwhile." Xiao Hongchen looked at the youth in the distance with quite a bit of excitement.
"Brother, why are you even more excited than I am?" Meng Hongchen's beautiful eyes were filled with incomprehension, looking somewhat suspicious.
"Trading blows with an expert is one of life's greatest pleasures."
"Clap, clap, clap!" Elder Ma clapped his hands and said in a gentle tone, "Children, for this final battle, I only hope you stay safe. Just fight your hardest in this last match, and don't take winning or losing too seriously."
Meanwhile, on the other side.
"All of you, remember this! Even if you die, you must die on the stage! You must secure the final victory of the championship!" Yan Shaozhe's face was fanatical, waving his fist like a zealot. "As long as we win, everything is worth it. I don't care what you do on stage; your only goal is the championship! The championship!!"
"Did you all hear me?!"
If they could truly win in the end, that would be his achievement.
Elder Xuan had nearly brought the Shrek team to ruin in the Mingdou Mountain Range. It was he who took up the mantle in the face of danger, shouldered this heavy burden, and ultimately led the team to victory.
Relying on this prestige in the future, he might really be able to take over Elder Xuan's succession and directly inherit the position of the Pavilion Master of the Sea Gods Pavilion. When that time came, hehehe…
He secretly glanced at Lu Cheng, a cold glint flashing deep in his eyes.
Just you wait, you little beast. The entirety of Shrek belongs to this old man. If I don't torment you to death, I'll take your last name!
And with the finals reaching this point today, he also had absolute confidence.
As long as no accidents occurred, Shrek Academy would definitely crush the opposing side.
One had to know that Ma Xiaotao had not even used the martial soul true body exclusive to a Soul Saint yet. That thing was the watershed between a Soul Emperor and a Soul Saint, and because of it, the gap between the two Realms was like night and day.
Unless those guys could produce a few class-seven spirit tools, they stood absolutely no chance against Ma Xiaotao.
For the final battle, to be safe.
No matter how much Yan Shaozhe loathed Lu Cheng, he still let him onto the field.
Shrek Academy's final lineup:
Ma Xiaotao, Lu Cheng, Gongyang Mo, Ling Luochen, Jiang Nannan, Xiao Xiao, Ning Tian;
Considering Wang Dong'er and Wu Feng's negligible combat power, it was better to let Ning Tian and Xiao Xiao go on stage for buffs. Yan Shaozhe nodded repeatedly at his team's lineup already standing on the field, a look of satisfaction showing in his eyes. It still had to be this old man. Otherwise, if anyone else were leading the team, how could they possibly win?
Just as he was still blissfully fantasizing about how the many Sea God Pavilion Elders would praise and laud him after returning to the academy…
Below the stage, Wu Feng and Wang Dong'er had strange expressions on their faces.
Teacher Wang Yan also finally let out a sigh of relief.
He had fortunately not failed his mission and could finally deliver a perfect answer sheet to Shrek. As for the obvious conflict between Lu Cheng and Yan Shaozhe, whatever happened next had nothing to do with him, nor did he have the power to interfere. He could only do his own part well.
On the field.
The seven members of both sides lined up.
Directly opposite Lu Cheng happened to be Xiao Hongchen, whose eyes flashed with a thick battle intent yet carried no hostility.
Meanwhile, the love in the beautiful eyes of the girl beside him was practically overflowing, as if two pink little stars were twinkling.
'Oh no, I'm falling for him. Up close, he's even handsomer.'
"Ahem!" Xiao Hongchen coughed softly twice to remind his sister.
But her throat bobbed, and her gaze remained infatuated.
Lu Cheng was slightly surprised, but then his lips curled into a warm smile as he nodded gently to the girl.
Buzz…
Like a steam engine, white steam instantly billowed from the top of the girl's head, her face flushing completely red. "He… did he just smile at me?"
Smack.
Xiao Hongchen helplessly covered his face.
This was simply too embarrassing.
Captain Ma Rulong took a deep breath, looking solemnly at Ma Xiaotao. "I hope you can let me experience the heritage of Shrek Academy."
"We will, we will…"
Ma Xiaotao, however, said somewhat listlessly.
There was no helping it; this match was destined to not be very exciting.
""
Captain Ma Rulong exhaled a breath of turbid air. So arrogant? As expected of Shrek Academy.
"Everyone, step back!"
The referee had been replaced by the Fiend Douluo, Huang Jinxu. Just like Guardian Douluo Cheng Gang, he was also a Guardian Douluo.
However, the look he gave Lu Cheng was exceptionally strange.
A few days ago, Guardian Douluo Cheng Gang had offended this youth. The next day, he was found outside Star Luo City by patrolling city guards with all his limbs broken. Upon questioning, it turned out to be an expert from the Body Sect. To be able to easily abuse Guardian Douluo Cheng Gang to such an extent without even using soul power, they must be one of those old fogies of the Body Sect.
Because Guardian Douluo Cheng Gang was in the wrong to begin with, the Star Luo imperial family had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill in silence. At the same time, they completely abandoned the idea of recruiting Lu Cheng. Obviously, that Body Sect expert's action was also a warning to them that Lu Cheng was already one of their Body Sect's people.
What was bizarre was not that a Body Sect expert had crippled Guardian Douluo Cheng Gang, but rather, when did Lu Cheng hook up with the Body Sect?!
And now, Lu Cheng was a member of Shrek Academy!
He was even representing Shrek Academy in the final match!
Well, now this was getting interesting.
Shrek and the Body Sect did not get along; they were mortal enemies. Not to mention, just a few days ago, Lu Cheng had been betrayed by Shrek Academy's leading powerhouse, Yan Shaozhe.
In that case, today's grand finals might have some interesting developments.
A desire to watch the drama unfold flashed deep in Huang Jinxu's eyes. In any case, he had placed a heavy bet on the Sun Moon Empire…
Once the seven members of both sides had retreated to the edges of the field on either side…
Lu Cheng glanced at Yan Shaozhe below the stage, who was already celebrating prematurely, and Teacher Wang Yan, whose face was filled with relief. A smile curled on his lips.
The show is about to begin.
