700 Shut Up

Yue Zhengyu sighed, "Class monitor, how did you make this joker attracted to you? Which part of you does he like? You better hurry up and have it changed."

Yuanen Yehui looked at him with keen sparkling eyes. "Shut up, you."

"Yes, shut up you!" Xie Xie chimed in when he saw a shift in the situation.

"You shut up as well!" Yuanen Yehui glared at him fiercely.

"Yes, ma'am!" Xie Xie shut his mouth immediately. He even made an action of pulling a zip across his mouth.

"Alright, prepare yourselves, everyone." Tang Wulin pulled Xie Xie over and made him sit on the chair beside him.

Xu Lizhi handed everyone the Recovery Pork Buns, especially Yuanen Yehui and Ye Xinglan who had just fought grueling matches. After they ate the buns, everyone closed their eyes and meditated to improve their conditions.

On the other side, the atmosphere had turned grim for Monster Academy.

"I'm sorry Brother Long Yue. It's all my fault." The little princess lowered her head.

Long Yue ruffled her hair. "I don't blame you. That guy's crafty. No matter how sly he may be, we'll definitely win the final battle. The final victory will be ours. Yueyan, can you fight?" His gaze was upon Dai Yueyan.

Dai Yueyan nodded. "I'm alright." After recuperating, his condition improved somewhat. However, the damaged parts of his battle armor could not be mended quickly. The blood essence in his body surged. Currently, he had at most sixty or seventy percent of his combat strength.

Long Yue nodded and said, "Alright, Yun'er stays here. We'll be fighting later. Be on your toes, everyone. Tang Wulin has another soul ring, and we don't know what its effect is. In the fight later, leave him to me. I'll do my best to suppress him. You guys get rid of the others as soon as possible. Yun'er, what happened to you just now? How could Gu Yue capture you so easily?"

Dai Yun'er frowned slightly and said, "I'm not entirely sure myself. What I can be sure of is her spiritual power is stronger than mine. That's why my spiritual assault's effects backfired on me when I directed it at her, and I was captured by her. Her spiritual power is extremely powerful."

When the others heard this, their expressions changed slightly. Shadow King Teng Teng could not restrain himself from speaking, "Shrek Academy is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers! To have a spiritual power superior to Yun'er's, it's truly unbelievable."

Dai Yun'er's second martial soul was a spiritual attribute. She was only fifteen years old, but her spiritual power had entered the Spirit Sea realm reaching two thousand five hundred or more which is unparalleled among her peers. Despite that, she was saying Gu Yue's spiritual power was above hers. How powerful could Gu Yue be?

"Be careful, everyone. Lin San, you're to take care of Gu Yue the moment the match starts. You mustn't let her unleash her abilities. Her peculiar spatial-attribute skills must be crucial to the overall strategy of Shrek Academy's squad. I think her non-participation in the previous matches was arranged intentionally by Shrek Academy as a contingency plan."

Wind King Lin San nodded. "Okay, leave it to me."

Long Yue said, "Everyone must work together. After the battle starts, put on your battle armors as soon as possible. We mustn't leave any opening for Shrek Academy, and we'll try to defeat our opponents in the shortest time possible. You guys don't have to worry about me. I'll try hard to control my emotions."

"Yes, captain."

Currently, Dai Yueyan was shocked. Ever since he knew Long Yue and the formation of the team, it was his first experience of seeing Long Yue having such a high regard for his opponent.

Obviously, if they wanted to win the team battle, it would not be as easy as what Long Yue had said.

Thirty minutes went by in the blink of an eye.

"I invite the contestants from both teams to be on the stage for the final team battle," came the referee's voice.

The central partition board in the waiting area separating the two teams was lowered slowly. The two teams could now see each other.

Tang Wulin and Long Yue looked at each other almost simultaneously. Their gazes collided. A faint smile appeared on Tang Wulin's face. Long Yue smiled as well, but it was not a warm smile. It was a smile that was tinged with madness.

Long Yue was never one to be influenced by others. It was the same for this match. He must win regardless of who his opponent was.

Representing Monster Academy were the captain, Dragon King Long Yue, and the team members, Tiger King Dai Yueyan, Fox King Su Mu, Wind King Lin San, Wolf King Hua Lantang, Pagoda King Ye Zhi, and Shadow King Teng Teng.

On the other hand, Shrek Academy was represented by their captain, Tang Wulin, together with the team members: Gu Yue, Ye Xinglan, Yuanen Yehui, Yue Zhengyu, Xie Xie, and Xu Xiaoyan.

Seven against seven, it was a team battle.

The citizens of Star Luo Empire had never been more anxious about a team battle as the present one.

Everyone was keen to watch the coming team battle which would be interesting, to say the least.

From the previous matches, it was evident that in terms of personal strength, Monster Academy did not possess much of an advantage with the exception of Long Yue. This was despite the fact that their team members had superior cultivation bases.

Hence, a rational person would conclude that other than Long Yue, the students of Shrek Academy were actually of a higher quality.

Star Luo Empire had always put an emphasis on solo competitions whereas team battles were considered less important. Individual heroism was more popular in the circle of Star Luo Empire's soul masters.

Everyone's opinion was that Monster Academy's team led by Long Yue would emerge victoriously. However, after the outcome of the previous two-on-two match, the audience was skeptical. Would the Shrek squad come up with some ingenious battle tactics this time?

What if they could not turn their strength advantage into a victory?

In the minds of the people, they each had differing opinions. Albeit, the one thing they had in common was that they expected this match to be no less than captivating.

Fang'er was in high spirits. She spoke quickly, "The final team battle is about to begin. The team members from both sides are already on the stage. This match will be a full-blown showdown. It'll be a battle that will test the overall strengths of both academies. I wish, in advance, for both parties to be able to unleash their own strengths. Next, I'll be doing some simple analyses for everyone's benefit."

"On Monster Academy's side, the captain Long Yue is the most powerful among them. He possesses the Mountain Dragon King martial soul. Other than the issue of possibly losing control over his emotions, as an expert ranked Soul Emperor, he has a huge advantage. He's also an assault system battle soul master. Apart from him, His Highness the fourth prince and Hua Lantang are also assault system battle soul masters. In addition, there's the agility system battle soul masters Lin San and Teng Teng. They'll make a powerful combination. Their master-control soul master is Su Mu who is able to weaken his opponents in all aspects. He also possesses a certain level of combat abilities. Contestant Su Mu is very adept in managing the entire battle. Contestant Ye Zhi with the title Pagoda King possesses the strongest tool martial soul, the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda. With her cultivation base, the enhancement the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda has on her teammates will be immense. If Shrek Academy cannot overcome this enhancement, it will be difficult for them to win this match."

"On Shrek Academy's side, the captain Tang Wulin is an assault system battle soul master. The three contestants Ye Xinglan, Yuanen Yehui, and Yue Zhengyu are also assault system battle soul masters. Contestant Gu Yue is a battle soul master who has controlling abilities and long-range attacking skills. Contestant Xu Xiaoyan is a control system battle soul master. Last but not least, contestant Xie Xie is an agility system battle soul master. In other words, their team comprises four assaults, one agility, and two controls."

"Judging by the conditions of the team members from both teams, Monster Academy's combination has an edge. A support system soul master has a very important role to play in a team. After all, they enable their team to fight longer and unleash greater strengths. The support system soul master on Shrek Academy's side is a food type, but he'll not participate in this final battle. With such a combination, they can gain a slight advantage for a short time. Otherwise, the longer the fight drags on, the more exhausted they'll be and eventually, they'll be defeated."

"Of course, everything I've said is just a paper analysis. As for how things will turn out, it's a different matter altogether. It all comes down to one critical factor in a team battle. Coordination. We'll see how both parties can coordinate among their own teams to obtain victory. The match will begin shortly. Meanwhile, let's rest our eyes and wait."
