It was him! It was him!
Yes, it was him.
The instant the two sides clashed, Xie Xie, who was at the rear of Shrek Academy's formation had vanished. He was already behind Ye Zhi when he reappeared. Ye Zhi, who was currently focusing all her strength in enhancing her comrades, did not even have the chance to dodge. She only saw a flurry of movements around her before she was under the threat of a great stabbing pain that made her stop all enhancements. The Shrek Six Monsters' counterattack had been over in that instant.
Was their teamwork so bad? For the Shrek Seven Monsters, this was a situation that would have never possibly happened.
"Boom!" The Wind King reeled and Fox King was stunned.
Beams of Dazzling Starlight fell from the skies and rained down on people from the Monster Academy. They were not even able to move.
Yuanen Yehui and Yue Zhengyu did not follow up with more attacks. There was no question regarding the outcome of their sparring session at this point.
When one was at the rank of seven or eight rings, the outcome of the battle would mostly be decided in an instant. They were manifesting this point to its fullest right now.
Regardless of how dissatisfied they felt, the truth was right before their eyes.
The audiences who were cheering suddenly fell silent. The instant reversal of the match had caught everyone off guard.
Long Yue was standing at the side of the gymnasium. The instant he saw Xie Xie appear behind Ye Zhi, he could not help but clenched his fists.
Did they lose because of carelessness? No, it was not that simple. They all had put great care in Ye Zhi's protection. That was also Su Mu's responsibility as the Master-Control soul master.
It was precisely because of the great pressure that their opponents had given that they were unable to protect Ye Zhi in that crucial moment. That was what led to their defeat.
The Shrek Six Monsters' seemingly unbalanced battle arrangements and flustered reactions had been brought to a perfect close in the end.
They had lost. Long Yue could clearly see that the Shrek Six Monsters had yet to unleash their full strength.
Had they really become this powerful after a few years? Even if they were to go at it again and even if he was not part of the team, Long Yue believed that the Monster Clan would not be able to win.
Yuanen Yehui caught his attention the most. Her three-word battle armor was too powerful. Whether it was her attacking power, defensive power, or that seemingly simple punching technique, they were all-powerful. She had held off Wolf King, Tiger King, and even the Wind King all by herself. This was why the Shrek Six Monsters were able to carry out their battle plan calmly and bring it in practice.
As the Master-Control soul master, Fox King Su Mu did not even unleash his full combat strength. His strength as a three-word battle armor master was completely used to block Xu Xiaoyan's starry sky attacks.
If he thought about it in greater depth, Xu Xiaoyan's Dazzling Starlight seemed to have merged with Ye Xinglan and Yue Zhengyu and their attacks came from the starry sky. What kind of soul skill was that?
Dai Yueyan sat on the floor with a baffled expression. The match they had all those years ago had left almost all of them dissatisfied with their defeat, but what about the match today? Could he still comfort himself saying they had lost because they were careless? He did not think that he could.
Yuanen Yehui's figure was like a wall of steel. The combination of his and Hua Lantang's strength was insufficient to break through it. This was when they were under Pagoda King Ye Zhi's enhancement at that.
They were instantly sent reeling as the enhancement stopped. Just how great of a difference in strength was this?
Yuanen Yehui was the only one who truly showed her strength. Maybe the fat guy in the back whose job was to make buns had shown his strength as well. When Teng Teng was grabbed by his large hand, the others did not even clearly see what had happened. Teng Teng was already in his grasp and his face was pale.
This battle had ended far quicker than anyone had expected. Yuanen Yehui was the only one who was under any kind of pressure among the Shrek Six Monsters.
There were hundreds of people present in the gymnasium. However, it was so quiet that a needle could be heard if it fell to the ground right now.
The legendary cheers that filled the building just moments ago seemed to be filled with mockery at this moment.
In the minds of the Heavenly Kings Clan members, the legendary cheers were still there when they lost this match.
Xu Lizhi released Teng Teng as he patted his shoulder with his thick palm. He smiled at him and even gave him a Recovery Pork Bun.
Teng Teng held the warm bun in his hands. His eyes were filled with warmth as well.
They were not proud people that hated to lose. However, losing under such humiliating circumstances was something that would be difficult even for them to accept.
Su Mu looked at Ye Xinglan who was standing before him with a huge sword hovering behind her. The hilt of the sword glittered with starlight. It felt like his soul was being sucked out by that long sword. The sword's glow dimmed and the pretty girl in front of him nodded. She turned around and walked toward her companions.
The short silence finally ended. The audience outside the protective barrier was in a furor.
They had lost. The victorious team in their hearts had lost. They were not even entirely sure how, but they had lost.
The Smiley Face Douluo took a glance at Ye Zhi who was standing beside him with a blank gaze. He lightly shook his head and said nothing. It would have been inappropriate to say anything to these children.
The Shrek Six Monsters returned to their usual appearances as they put away their battle armor. Yuanen Yehui's elastic tights presented her flawless bodyline. Xie Xie seemed to have returned to her side after flickering in the air. He removed his own coat to cover her. He covered her alluring curves that were traced out by her form-fitting clothes.
The six of them stood together and walked towards the Heavenly Kings Clan.
Dai Yueyan finally stood up. He pulled Hua Lantang who was not far from him to his feet as well. They looked at each other in the eyes. They saw the bitterness in each other's eyes.
They had lost just like that, were they satisfied with the result? They were definitely not satisfied. However, what could they do about it?
The six of them walked to the center of the competition stage. As they looked at the Shrek Six Monsters before them, they were unable to utter any words.
"It was a good fight, " Yuanen Yehui said to Dai Yueyan.
Dai Yueyan had a wry smile on his face, "We didn't grow weaker. It's you guys who've grown stronger."
Yuanen Yehui replied, "You guys are very powerful as well. It's just that you don't know us well enough. We've experienced greater changes here. Maybe it's because we've been through a lot in these past few years."
The Heavenly Kings Clan was truly a legend. They were all geniuses of their generation who were heavily gifted with nature's gift. However, different people had different experiences.
Geniuses with different experiences would end up growing differently.
The Shrek Seven Monsters were not merely cultivating in these last few years. They had undergone military training on the Demon Island and lived through the great disaster of Shrek Academy's destruction. They had subjected themselves to strict training in the army too. These experiences certainly made them experience unspeakable pain, but they were also their greatest wealth.
It was precisely because they had these experiences that they were this powerful right now. It gave them a deeper understanding of their own strengths. It was precisely these experiences that brought them to where they stand today.
Compared to the Shrek Seven Monsters, the Eight Heavenly Kings were mostly cultivating and studying in the academy. Their experiences were much simpler than their opponents.
Moreover, there were still some gaps if the Monster Academy were to be compared with Shrek Academy.
Long Yue went up the stage again. His clenched fists were relaxed, but his gaze was still grim.
He walked to Dai Yueyan's side and patted his shoulder. Dai Yueyan lifted his head to look at him with an inquiring gaze. He seemed to be asking if they should take Shrek Academy up on their offer of having a match of two against seven.
Long Yue shook his head lightly. He looked at the Shrek Six Monsters."I'm looking forward to Tang Wulin's Battle of Five Gods. Your strengths have made me see that it wouldn't be a match with a predictable outcome."
Yue Zhengyu said, "Actually, we're also looking forward to it."
