Chapter 118.3: Shrek Lost?
Since Wang Yan had already arranged everything, there were no changes on Shreks side.
Xu Sanshi was the first to enter the fray. He would be followed by Bei Bei, Ling Luochen, Dai Yueheng, Ma Xiaotao, Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao.
Without a doubt, the first 5 were the main forces for this individual round, while Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were the icing on the cake. One of them had 3 rings while the other had 2 rings. Wang Yan included them in the lineup with eyes on the 2-2-3 fight. If the 2 of them were paired along a soul emperor, it would be a great choice. Their martial soul fusion skill couldnt be underestimated, even though they werent that powerful individually.
Wang Yan didnt send them out in the team round because of his arrangement for Shrek to lose the team round, and also because he wanted to conceal their true abilities. Wang Yan might not have even sent them to compete for todays final if not for Huo Yuhao and Wang Dongs incessant pleas. He wanted to protect them.
In 5 years, they would be the core of Shrek Seven Monsters. The more they revealed themselves now, the better their opponents would understand them. Furthermore, the Body Sect had already laid their eyes on Huo Yuhao. Wang Yan didnt want them to reveal even more about themselves.
But how could Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong not want to compete because of that? Furthermore, there were only 3 possible permutations for Shreks lineup. After the team battle, they were definitely needed! Thats why such an arrangement cropped up.
The individual round begins. The first competing member of each team, please enter the stage. From Shrek Academy, we have Xu Sanshi. From the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, we have Li Yan.
Xu Sanshi did not even use the stairs. He jumped onto the stage from Shreks waiting area.
Even everyone from Shrek felt an unfamiliar sense as they looked at him right now.
Xu Sanshi often laughed and joked normally. He either pestered Jiang Nannan or bickered with Bei Bei. The occasional promise that he showed wouldnt hold up either. But now, his entire person seemed to have change at this point.
He was silent, cold, and even had an indescribable manner to him. This manner could be described as dignified, or could be referred to that of a leader. He was no longer like a youth now. He was more like an adult, one that was very aloof and competitive.
Through closer observation, one could notice a subtle undulation of black gas flowing around him even though he had not unleashed his martial soul. There was even a dense, gentle ripple that moved with a slight rhythm around his body. He wore a deep gaze that was also cold. His entire person seemed to have become a deep valley that sucked people in.
This was Xu Sanshi in his complete state. He was no longer a soul master who controlled the Shield of the Xuanming Turtle, but the wielder of the Xuanwu Shield. He had the strongest defense-type martial soul on the continent.
Coincidentally, Xu Sanshis opponent was a fire-type soul master.
Li Yan was originally one of Team Sun Moons official team members. But his ranking among the 7 official team members should be quite low considering how he could be replaced by Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen. His martial soul wasnt a pure Fire element; it possessed many impure sources of deviant fires and impurities. He wouldnt have been powerful enough if he only cultivated as a soul master. Thats why he chose to become a soul engineer. He couldnt use his martial soul to provide himself with more soul power to last in battle, but he could use his own deviant fire to supplement all his soul tools with a fire aura through different soul skills. Of course, his fire was much weaker than Ma Xiaotaos phoenix flames. But he was still extraordinary to have become a Class 5 soul engineer before he was 20 years old.
