The group meticulously discussed Plan A and Plan B against Team Camelot, even preparing a backup Plan C. It was a testament to Tang San's ability to devise so many intricate strategies on the fly.
Gradually, the initial despondency of the Shrek team, stemming from the formidable strength of their opponents, began to recede, replaced by renewed confidence. Even Ma Hongjun, who had been visibly apprehensive at first, now displayed a fighting spirit, eager to clash with the two fierce birds of the opposing team.
Finally, Dai Mubai placed his hand on the table, looking encouragingly at Tang San beside him.
A slight curve formed on Tang San's lips as he understood, placing his hand atop Dai Mubai's. The other six followed suit, forming a high hand tower.
Once everyone's hands were in place, Dai Mubai, as captain, let out a deep roar filled with fighting spirit: "Then, Shrek team, let's go!"
"Let's go!"
They shouted in unison, their gazes burning with an unyielding fighting spirit.
When it was time to enter the arena, Dai Mubai and the others donned the silver monster masks prepared by the Master once more and changed into their team's uniform pure black combat attire. They left the team battle resting room, while the Master and the others prepared to move to the exclusive spectator lounge prepared for team battle participants yesterday.
"Hiss—"
The mist, designed to build atmosphere, was rendered in a kaleidoscope of colors by the neon lights. On either side of the battle arena, two ornate gates simultaneously opened, allowing both teams to enter and proceed towards the center of the combat platform.
Entering from the right contestant channel was their opponent for this match—Team Camelot.
The man at the forefront was none other than the captain of Team Camelot, Mu Feng.
He wore no concealing accessories, instead boldly exposing his handsome features to the cheers of the audience.
Taller than Dai Mubai, Mu Feng stepped onto the platform with a confident smile playing on his lips, standing at the very center of his team.
Despite his superior height, his physique was even leaner than Tang San's. His steps were as silent and graceful as a noble strolling through his courtyard, exuding an air of impeccable upbringing.
The remaining members consisted of four men and two women, forming a circle around Mu Feng. Lei Yuan and Su Nan, whose martial spirits were flying beasts, positioned on the flanks, were the first to manifest their martial spirits.
Golden electric currents flowed as Lei Yuan's wings, sharp as blades, unfurled behind her.
Su Nan, engulfed in orange flames, his back adorned with a pair of fiery feathers, also ascended into the air, looking down upon the Shrek team from above.
Their powerful fighting spirit, amplified by the outward projection of their spirit rings and spirit power, surged forth. The announcer's voice grew more excited as he introduced this team, which had already achieved six consecutive victories without a single loss, further igniting the crowd's cheers.
Dai Mubai, whose spirit power was still capped at level 37, noticed a trace of contempt in the eyes of the man surrounded by his teammates. He let out a cold laugh, clashing his fists together as if igniting the invisible gunpowder in the air!
"It seems they are quite confident. Brothers, unleash your martial spirits and show them our fighting spirit too!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, a powerful spirit power fluctuation erupted from Dai Mubai.
A top-tier configuration of two yellow and one purple spirit rings pulsed around his expanding form. The roar of the White Tiger, king of beasts, was deafening, causing a tremor among some of the front-row spectators.
Zhu Zhuqing, who had instantly completed her martial spirit fusion, her usually cool expression now tinged with a hint of deadly intent. Her vertically slit pupils, now resembling those of a feline, constricted into slits as she faced her opponents, her fingers transforming into sharp claws that glinted with a cold, sharp light.
Feathers, each adorned with leaping crimson sparks, slowly drifted down from the sky, dissipating into tiny embers. Su Nan's novel website.
Ma Hongjun, having ascended, deliberately positioned himself higher than Lei Yuan and Su Nan, striking a deliberately nonchalant pose as he brushed back his neatly combed red hair.
Blue Silver Grass vines, covered in large thorns, coiled around Tang San, resembling a rattlesnake in an attacking posture. Their translucent, slender leaf veins pulsed with an intimidating blue-violet luminescence.
Xiao Wu, sporting a pair of rabbit ears on her head, her pink eyes gained a unique sparkle after activating her martial spirit, making her appear both beautiful and dangerous.
The radiant glow of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, the continent's foremost support martial spirit, lent the team even greater confidence.
When the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared, the faces of the opposing Team Camelot showed a slight abatement of their dismissiveness.
Even though the opponents were only at the Great Soul Master level, the support from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda was absolutely not to be underestimated!
However, what ultimately caused them to shed all their condescension was Tang Sui, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Ning Rongrong, with three deep purple spirit rings floating beneath her feet. This sight surprised them even more, instilling a sense of apprehension!
"How is this possible? Those are truly Thousand-Year Spirit Rings!"
Although they had reviewed the opponents' team data before the match, their attitude had become considerably more casual after noticing several members of this spirit master team were still Great Soul Masters under level 30. Consequently, they had only casually glanced at the personnel data of those behind Ma Hongjun, failing to pay much attention to the three purple rings mentioned on the line detailing "Myriad Faces" at the very end. They had assumed it was an exaggeration or a display of false bravado, perhaps disguised by spirit skills.

This salted fish is weeping. Do you know how long Mo Li had to flip through a Pokémon encyclopedia to gather the data for this opponent? It's too difficult. I both love and hate combat because I also enjoy watching it QAQ
