Chapter 144 Shrek regains his confidence
In the VIP seats, Ning Fengzhi, Emperor Xue Ye and Platinum Bishop Sarath sat in the first row.

The first battle of souls was between the Shrek team from Tiandou Royal Academy and the Shrek team from Lanba Academy.

Ning Fengzhi also heard that this time Tiandou Royal Academy cancelled the second team and merged it into the first team. Starting from the preliminaries, Tiandou Royal Academy will also participate in the competition.

"Your Majesty, I heard that this time the Tiandou Royal Academy's Team One and Team Two have been merged, and will also participate in the preliminaries and promotion matches?" Ning Fengzhi asked curiously.

Emperor Xue Ye smiled slightly, "Sect Master Ning is right. We have to thank your disciple Luo Ling for joining us. A 15-year-old Soul King is enough to make the Tiandou Royal Academy more famous."

Ning Fengzhi also smiled slightly. He knew that Luo Ling had joined Tiandou Royal Academy, but he didn't think Luo Ling had any good intentions.

You have to know that Luo Ling is the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, and his identity as a member of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is just a disguise. And Dugu Yan, the former captain of the Tiandou Royal Academy, nominally belongs to the Tiandou Empire, but in fact is also a member of the Spirit Hall.

Poison Douluo had joined the Spirit Hall many years ago.

The two strongest people are both from the Spirit Hall, but Emperor Xue Ye is completely unaware of this and thinks that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and Dugu Bo are on the side of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Ning Fengzhi shook his head secretly.

"In the first round of the preliminaries, Tiandou Royal Academy will face the Shrek team from Lanba Academy!"

Below, the MC announced the two major academies for the preliminary soul fighting match. This was the only soul fighting match in today’s opening ceremony, and its purpose was to warm up for the competition.

It is also to promote the reputation of Tiandou Royal Academy.

The Shrek team of Blue Tyrant Academy was chosen because Shrek was not well-known and had been brutally beaten by the Weird Mage before, so the students' martial arts and soul skills had been exposed to a large extent.

This fighting spirit was just a show, and it had been secretly planned long ago.

Unfortunately, in the original novel, Shrek had the help of magic herbs, and this planned battle of spirits ended with the failure of Tiandou Royal Academy.

But it's different now.

In the lounge, Shrek and the others looked a little heavy when they heard the voice coming from the emcee's microphone.

The Tiandou Royal Academy alone does not scare them, but Luo Ling is very difficult for them.

Once in Soto City, when Dai Mubai wanted to kill Tang San, they had seen Luo Ling's strength and he was not at a disadvantage even when fighting against a Soul King.

This happened more than a year ago, and at that time Luo Ling was already a level 46 Soul Master.

What level has Luo Ling reached now?
"Why do you all look so serious?" Tyrone on the side looked at the silent Shrek people in confusion.

In his opinion, their chances of winning against the Tiandou Royal Academy are very high. Even if they can only send three members, they will only be three Soul Masters.

Tiandou Royal Academy could only send two members of the original team.

Moreover, he was very confident in Tang San. After being beaten by Tang San before, his father came to seek revenge but lost. It was only later that his grandfather stepped in to subdue Tang San.

Tang San also revealed his second spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer.

The talent of twin martial spirits made Tai Long regard Tang San as an object of worship.

"The Third Young Master can even defeat my father. What's there to be nervous about with just the Tiandou Royal Academy?" Tai Lung continued in confusion.

Everyone came back to their senses at this point, and Ma Hongjun felt slightly relieved. Luo Ling had defeated a Soul King before, and Tang San had also defeated a Soul King, so the two should be considered to be on the same level.

As for the rest, they are not afraid of Tiandou Royal Academy!
"Xiao San, I will not interfere with the fighting spirit of this competition. I will leave it to you to arrange." Yu Xiaogang on the side said lightly.

He was very satisfied with his disciple Tang San.

Unlike the original novel, Yu Xiaogang did not leave, but stayed to watch the battle. Luo Ling used to be able to defeat Tang San easily, and he had no respect for the master!

Now he had to watch Luo Ling, who refused to become his disciple, being defeated by Tang San!

The rest of Shrek's people also turned their eyes to Tang San.

Feeling the trust of everyone, Tang San became more confident, with a smile on his face: "Okay! Since everyone trusts me, I will make the arrangements!"

"This battle of souls will be played by me, Yu Tianheng, Fatty, Jing Ling, Huang Yuan, Jiang Zhu, and Tai Long. We will proceed according to the original plan. This battle must make Shrek famous! Let those who laugh at us see clearly the strength of Shrek!"

Tang San's tone was very domineering, which made everyone in Shrek excited. Only Ning Rongrong yawned absentmindedly and looked at Tang San with disdain.

Even though this battle of spirits has not yet begun, she has foreseen the ending. In Ning Rongrong's heart, Luo Ling is invincible!
Even if you only use the Shadow Scythe!

Time passed quickly, and the competition staff urged the two teams of soul masters to come on stage.

In the center of the fighting arena, a platform ten meters high and thirty meters in diameter has been built.

The two teams stood in the center of the ring, facing each other.

There are fourteen people on the Tiandou Royal Academy side, seven members of the original Team One and seven members of the Team Two.

Shrek has eleven people.

This time, Tiandou Royal Academy did not mock Shrek and others. Now the two teams are combined into one team, with Dugu Yan as the captain.

"Yu Tianheng, I didn't expect you to really run to this small academy. How can it compare with our Tiandou Royal Academy?" Dugu Yan looked at Yu Tianheng. She did not have a good face for this person who betrayed the academy.

The rest of the people from Tiandou Royal Academy also looked at Yu Tianheng. They of course knew that Yu Tianheng was originally from their academy, but they did not mock him directly like Dugu Yan did.

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family is not someone they can afford to offend.

Yu Tianheng's face was gloomy. He did not directly answer Dugu Yan's words, but looked at Luo Ling, "Dugu Yan, I will prove to you that my choice is not wrong, and I am stronger than him!"

Luo Ling raised his eyes and looked at Yu Tianheng. It seemed that the other party regarded him as a love rival.

After being away for such a long time, Luo Ling chuckled. He didn't expect that Yu Tianheng was still thinking about Dugu Yan.

"Luo Ling, this time, I will defeat you!" Tang San on the side also said firmly.

Facing the two people's targeting, Luo Ling just shook his head and said nothing. Instead, he looked towards the VIP seats on the other side.

He saw an unexpected figure—Xue Qinghe.

That is Qian Renxue.

In the original novel, Qian Renxue did not come to watch this battle.

There were also Platinum Bishop Sarath and Emperor Xue Ye, who were also looking at him.

The former knew his identity, and the latter was probably interested in Luo Ling's strength.

Emperor Xue Ye looked at Luo Ling on the stage. He had heard a lot about Luo Ling, such as the youngest Soul King, the one-on-six victory over Dugu Yan, etc.

This was the first time he saw a real person.

Bishop Salas was also very familiar with this Holy Son, the Evil Mage.
