Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Chapter 113 Familiar Breath

Listening to the cheers from the audience, the seven younger members of the Shrek Academy team who were about to play turned pale, obviously frightened.

This was happening under the watchful eyes of hundreds of thousands of spectators and people from all over the continent. If they lost and Shrek Academy was eliminated, they couldn't even imagine the scene.

"Don't panic. Remember, this is the glory of Shrek Academy, and it's also your glory. Moreover, the ones who should be panicking are your opponents, not you."

Ma Xiaotao, who has a hot body and red hair tied into a bun, said in a deep voice.

"That's right, these cheers belong to you. Go, win, use your strength to prove the power of Shrek Academy, and face your supporters."

Dai Yuheng, who was tall and had blond hair, also nodded and spoke.

With the encouragement of the two seniors, the seven members of the Shrek reserve team gradually calmed down. Although they were still nervous and their palms were sweaty, they were no longer panicking.

In the past, Shrek Academy had never had a history of letting its reserve team play in the knockout rounds, because that would have placed too high a demand on the team's mentality.

But Shrek Academy now has no other choice.

At this moment, the voice of the host of the competition sounded, "Let us first invite the players from the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy to come on stage."

At the back of the contestant area, a team of pale-faced young players walked out. When they walked out of the contestant area, it seemed that even their steps were a little unsteady.

Tang San, Hu Liena, Xue Qinghe, and the others in front of the soul guide screen all had puzzled expressions on their faces. Was the Shrek Academy on the other side really that formidable? How could this person from the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy feel so worried before their opponent even took the stage?

Ma Xiaotao chuckled and looked at the seven members of the reserve team. "Look, this is your opponent. His legs are shaking so much that he can barely stand. What are you afraid of?"

Bei Bei, the captain of the reserve team, nodded and said, "I understand, Sister Xiao Tao. Shrek will win."

"Shrek, we must win."

Ma Xiaotao strode up to Beibei and stretched out her right hand. Others also stepped forward, and eleven right hands were put together.

Wang Yan, the Shrek team leader, pushed his glasses and whispered, "Huo Yuhao, after you take the stage, you will be responsible for commanding the battle. The others must follow his spirit detection and shared deployment. Yuhao, if possible, make good use of your second spirit skill."

Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind. He nodded heavily and said, "Teacher Wang, I understand. Seniors, don't worry, we will not bring shame to Shrek Academy. Shrek will definitely win."

"Well, the team members of Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy have come on stage. At this highly anticipated moment, let us now invite the Shrek Academy team, the number one academy on the continent and the true king among academies, to come on stage." The host's high-pitched voice pierced the clouds, and Xingluo Plaza suddenly turned into a sea of ​​cheers for Shrek.

With the entrance of Shrek Academy, everyone present showed a puzzled look, and the contestants from Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy were also stunned.

What was Shrek Academy trying to do? This was the knockout round, and letting the reserve team play was really okay?

"What's going on? They look about the same age as us, right?"

Ning Rongrong looked at the Shrek team on the screen with a puzzled look on her face. Why would this so-called number one academy on the continent send a team of boys and girls of similar age, no more than fourteen years old, to participate in such an important competition?

Even Xu Jiawei, who was in the Imperial City, was stunned. He asked in confusion, "What is Shrek Academy trying to do? Why didn't they send out their main players? Why didn't Dai Hao's son play?"

But a game is a game, no matter how many people have doubts, the game must continue.

"Shrek Academy is indeed very bold, but they dare to send the reserve team to play. Shouldn't they be giving up on themselves?"

Liu Xing was also a little surprised. This was the knockout round. Losing one game meant going home straight away. Didn't Shrek still have three regular players? It was incredible that none of them were on the court!
"Their three starting players are all injured."

Liuying leaned close to Liuxing's ear and whispered.

Liu Xing suddenly realized what was happening. No wonder only the reserve team was sent to play. It turned out that the three starting players were all injured.

"But even if that's the case, Shrek Academy won't have any major problems in this match."

Liu Xing looked at the people from Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy, whose faces were still grim. Facing Shrek Academy, they were already frightened by its reputation as the number one academy on the continent.

Shrek's dispatch of the reserve team only made them more suspicious and stressed.

Because countless historical events in the past have proven that encountering Shrek Academy in the first round means being eliminated in the first round of the competition.

"If you are afraid before the battle, the outcome is already determined."

Gu Yuena also nodded.

The referee sent by the Star Luo Empire was already in place and made a gesture for both sides to step forward.

The seven students from both teams quickly gathered in the center of the arena. The referee said solemnly, "First round, elimination round, team battle. Both teams may use most soul guides. However, if one team surrenders during combat, the other team may not continue to attack. Soul guides may not use high-damage equipment such as fixed-type soul guides in combat. Do you understand?"

"Understood." Beibei responded with a stern face.

The captain of the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy was a slender young man who looked to be around twenty years old. Among the seven people on the other side, he was the only one with a relatively normal expression, and he also agreed with Beibei.

The referee nodded and said: "Okay, both sides will retreat to both sides of the field and listen to my order to start the game. Before I announce the start, no one is allowed to release the martial spirit in advance, otherwise they will be sentenced to lose."

Both teams began to retreat and increase the distance, and at the same time began to arrange tactics.

Soon, both sides reached the edge of the field.

As the referee raised his right hand, hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Xingluo Square fell silent instantly.

Everyone stared at the wide competition stage with wide eyes.

This was the first match for all advanced soul master academies on the continent, and also the first match for Shrek Academy. Everyone looked towards the stage expectantly, holding their breath.

The people in front of the soul guide screen were also staring at the screen, afraid that they would miss the wonderful moment in a blink of an eye.

Bibi Dong, Ning Fengzhi, Xue Qinghe and others were also staring at the screen intently, finally getting to see the level of the younger generation in another world.

The referee raised his right hand, and the soul masters below the stage also input their own soul power into the soul guides in front of them. Rays of white light shot up into the sky, drew arcs and converged in the air, finally gathering in the air 20 meters above the top of the stage.

A white light curtain turned into a semicircle, covering the entire competition arena.

The formation of the protective shield means that the opening match of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition is about to begin.

The Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy arranged the traditional standing position for the competition, which is the traditional formation of three, two, one, one.

But everyone's eyes were not on them, but looking towards Shrek Academy.

As Shrek Academy formed its battle formation, they let out bursts of exclamations.

Because Shrek Academy set up a formation that they couldn't understand.

A black-haired young man stood at the front of the formation, his childish face filled with pride, while the other six people were all behind him, forming a fan shape, like stars surrounding the moon, making him stand out.

What is this formation called?
All the high-level soul master academies that were able to come to the competition had a certain reputation on the continent. They all had their own research on soul master team combat methods, but no academy had ever studied this kind of formation.

"What the hell is Shrek doing?"

Xiao Hongchen frowned.

Ma Rulong and others also shook their heads in confusion. This was the first time they had seen such a strange formation.

Looking at the black-haired young man who was the leader of Shrek Academy, the Snow Girl showed a puzzled look. She felt a familiar aura from the young man.

"interesting."

Meteor looked at the black-haired boy in the lead and had already determined who the protagonist was.

Looking at the formation of Shrek Academy, even the referee was a little dumbfounded.

"Referee, we may begin now." Huo Yuhao said to the referee very calmly.

He is not very old, and even his voice is a little hoarse because he has just reached the age where his voice has changed. However, standing at the front, he has become the focus of everyone's attention.

The referee finally came to his senses, lowered his raised right hand, and shouted, "The game begins."

No matter what formation it is, it has nothing to do with him. He is just a referee and it is his responsibility to ensure the smooth progress of the game.

Following the referee's loud shout, students from both sides released their martial spirits almost at the same time.

The seven people in the Tianling Soul Master Academy are not weak, with five Soul Masters and two Soul Lords.

Seeing this lineup, the audience present didn't react in any way, but in front of the soul guide screen, many people in another dimension had their faces changed drastically.

Because the lineup of Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy, if it were in their world, it would at least be a strong team that could reach the quarterfinals!
Such a powerful lineup was actually so scared when facing Shrek Academy!
