Douluo Continent: The Evil-Eyed Dragon God, Many Women, Many Blessings

Chapter 169 Changes in Team Shrek
The atmosphere at Xingluo Square was as lively as ever. Today, there was another Shrek Academy match, and everyone was looking forward to seeing what kind of mischief that boy would get up to, or rather, what kind of amazing performance he would deliver.

Mystery and the unknown have always been the most captivating things!

Shrek Academy was the first to perform in today's match, and their opponents had won the previous two round-robin matches with ease, and had even made it into the top eight in the last tournament.

With such an outstanding historical record, everyone is speculating whether they can force Huo Yuhao to reveal more of his trump cards, at least his martial soul and soul ring configuration. There shouldn't be much of a problem, right?
Although everyone sees Shrek Academy as being on a completely different level from other academies, belonging to a unique tier, everyone still hopes that Shrek Academy's opponents will be stronger, so that there will be more exciting matches. And Zheng Tian Academy is definitely different from the two smaller Karami academies Shrek encountered before; it's a true Karami!

So today's match is really something to look forward to!
Entering the rest area, the Shrek Academy team was actually more relaxed today than in the last match. Ma Xiaotao's return had indeed given these young people a shot in the arm, and with Huo Yuhao also involved, they believed their chances of winning were much higher, no matter which match format they drew today.

The members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy once again arrived at the competition viewing area. Undoubtedly, they were there to scout out Shrek Academy's enemy situation.

However, when they saw that Ma Xiaotao was among the Shrek Academy's team members participating today, they frowned. Ma Rulong whispered, "I remember this female team member appeared in the last competition. I think her name is Ma Xiaotao. Judging from her condition, her injuries have recovered?"

Old Ma's tone also became more serious: "It seems that starting today, Shrek Academy's overall strength will begin to recover slowly."

Led by Wang Yan, Ma Xiaotao, Huo Yuhao, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, He Caitou, Jiang Nannan, and Ning Tian followed him into the waiting area. Whether in team battles or 2-2-3 formations, Ning Tian's support greatly improved the overall strength of the group, and she was also Huo Yuhao's final choice of teammate.

Wang Yan looked at his team members, pursed his lips, and said in a deep voice, "Kids, just give it your all. There's no need for any pressure, because you are already good enough!"

Everyone smiled, their eyes filled with excitement.

Real-world experience is the best way to grow. From the moment they arrived to the competition, Wang Yan could clearly see the changes in the eyes of these reserve team kids. Although they hadn't played many matches, the tense atmosphere of the competition had still greatly improved their mentality and broadened their horizons. Each of them was like a fluffy sponge, constantly absorbing various elements that helped them grow.

Taotie Douluo Xuanzi had actually arrived in Star Luo City long ago and found Wang Yan upon arrival, informing him of the Sea God Pavilion's decision. At first, Wang Yan didn't understand, but as time passed, he became increasingly convinced of the Sea God Pavilion's decision. Compared to Huo Yuhao and the others' future, a mere All-Great Luo Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament really didn't seem that important.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that three twin martial souls appeared simultaneously, a feat unprecedented in Shrek Academy, is enough to fill Wang Yan with hope for the future!
Time passed second by second, and the sun had already risen high in the east.

His Majesty the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire arrived at the city wall surrounded by his ministers. He did not sit down, but walked directly to the city wall and looked towards the rest area.

When he saw Ma Xiaotao, a new face from Shrek Academy, he remarked with interest, "Interesting. This must be Shrek's original starting member for this competition, right? It seems her injuries have healed." As an emperor, investigating matters was incredibly easy for him. Dai Hao had already learned of the attack Shrek encountered during their journey to the competition from his subordinates and reported it to His Majesty. Therefore, the Star Luo Emperor was also curious: if even Shrek's reserve team was this strong, what kind of strength did their actual starting members possess?
At this moment, the referee had already taken the stage, and his voice was amplified by the soul-guided device: "Round 3, Match 1 of the round-robin tournament. The two teams facing off are Shrek Academy and Zheng Tian Academy. Please enter the waiting area. The captains will come up to the stage to draw the match rules."

Zhengtian Advanced Soul Master Academy comes from the Heavenly Soul Empire and is considered an old academy in the Heavenly Soul Empire, having produced many talented individuals.

Of the four great empires on the continent, the Heavenly Soul Empire is the most steadfast in upholding the tradition of Soul Masters and rejecting Soul Master instructors. Therefore, Zheng Tian Academy actually implements the pure Soul Master cultivation path more thoroughly than Shrek Academy; they don't even have a Soul Master instructor branch, only training traditional Soul Masters. Regardless of whether they will be eliminated in the future, at least for now, Zheng Tian Academy remains one of the most powerful academies on the entire continent.

The captain of Zhengtian Academy was a young man of about twenty years old. He was so handsome that he was comparable to Pan An in appearance.

Wang Yan had described the captain of Zhengtian Academy in detail, praising him highly. Since the start of the competition, this captain of Zhengtian Academy had never appeared, and Wang Yan had only managed to obtain some information about him with great difficulty.

Ye Wuqing, nineteen years old, is a top student at Zhengtian Academy and the team captain.

Martial Soul: Golden Leaf, a level 58 Power Attack-type Battle Soul King, with extremely formidable strength.

In the previous competition, he represented Zhengtian Academy as a regular member of the team. In this competition, he is the backbone of the academy.

If he were exactly twenty years old this year, he would very likely break through level sixty and become the first Soul Emperor in the history of Zheng Tian Advanced Soul Master Academy to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Battle Tournament. If that were to happen, Zheng Tian Academy would officially enter the ranks of top-tier academies.

When Ye Wuqing saw Ma Xiaotao across from him, his expression suddenly changed, because he remembered Ma Xiaotao!

In the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament, Shrek Academy always receives the most attention, regardless of the year. Even their reserve team is highly regarded and studied by other academies. Ye Wuqing had participated in the previous tournament. Although Ma Xiaotao's appearance and figure had changed in five years, her fiery red hair and pink eyes were still striking, and Ye Wuqing recognized her instantly.

Ye Wuqing's expression instantly turned serious. Shrek Academy's main players had finally made their appearance. It seemed that their previously devised tactics would have to be changed!
Not only him, but also the other students from other colleges watching from the sidelines felt similar pressure.

If the reserve team is this strong, what kind of ability must the starting players have?

With Huo Yuhao leading the way, Shrek Academy's prestige has been elevated to a whole new level, haha~
