Jiang Xiaofeng's team was called the Fengshen Battle Team. The reason they allowed their information to be sold to the Shrek Battle Team was because Mo Bot had agreed to it.
However, Mo Bot played a little trick — he only revealed their martial spirits, not a single soul skill.
If Mo Bot hadn't agreed, even if someone offered a fortune — say, Flender sold the entire academy — they still wouldn't have been able to buy their information.
At night, the liveliest place in the whole Soto City was undoubtedly the Soto Great Spirit Arena.
"Honored guests, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Soto Great Spirit Arena…"
As they entered the arena, Jiang Xiaofeng and his companions had already put on their masks.
"Your Highness the Holy Son, I'll go register first!"
Jiang Xiaofeng nodded and led the others to the waiting room.
Mo Bot took the team's badge to the front desk.
At the same time, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang also arrived at the reception with Tang San and the others' badge.
"Registering for a 7v7 team match. Team name: Fengshen Battle Team. Team level: Soul Sect."
"We're also registering for a 7v7 team match. Team name: Shrek Battle Team. Team level: Soul Elder."
The receptionist quickly checked the records for both teams.
"Fengshen Battle Team has a Silver Spirit Badge. Current team level: Soul Sect. Already on a 55-win streak. Do you wish to challenge a higher rank?"
Mo Bot shook his head directly.
"I want to fight their team!"
Truthfully, even if Mo Bot didn't say it, the arena would've arranged for Fengshen and Shrek to face off. Still, they had to keep up appearances.
Yu Xiaogang nodded. "Even though our Shrek team has only a Bronze Badge, we want to challenge up. If they don't mind, we'd like to fight them!"
As soon as Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, the receptionist entered the matchup without hesitation — didn't even bother asking.
"Alright. Both teams, please wait backstage. Your match is coming up soon!"
Mo Bot nodded and left. Yu Xiaogang looked a bit puzzled.
They're usually polite — what's with the attitude today?
But Yu Xiaogang wasn't stupid. He knew that even without today's drama, they would've crossed paths with Fengshen Battle Team eventually. That team was likely Wuhun Hall's representative for the upcoming Continental Advanced Spirit Master Tournament.
Yu Xiaogang returned to the waiting room.
"Everything's arranged. Our opponent is the Fengshen Battle Team, and clearly, they've already told the arena staff to make it happen."
Tang San nodded — all of this was within expectations.
"Don't worry, teacher. No matter what, we'll give it our all. Even if we lose, we won't go down easy!"
"Good. Don't force it. Your goal isn't just to win — it's to analyze their strengths. When the Spirit Master Tournament comes, you'll be more prepared than anyone else."
Everyone in the room, including Tang San, silently nodded.
The atmosphere in the waiting room was quiet — after all, they were about to face a team of Soul Sects.
"Remember our strategy: go against their expectations. They'll likely focus on protecting their Soul Elders at the start. But we'll strike their main force right away — catch them off guard. The reaction window is small, but land as much damage as you can!"
"Got it!"
In contrast, the Fengshen Team's waiting room was relaxed. Unlike Tang San and company, their spirit power was already far higher than Soul Elders. Jiang Xiaofeng himself was already at level 50 — just one spirit ring away from becoming a true Soul King.
Not only that, thanks to the effects of the immortal herbs, the team's overall strength had surged again — especially their support, Feng Lingling. After her martial spirit mutated, all of her soul skills got a massive boost.
If they went to Blackhorn City's Spirit Arena now, even a Soul King-level team wouldn't stand a chance against them.
"Your opponent is the Shrek Battle Team. No questions — just make them hurt!"
Yan clenched his fist.
"Damn right! Especially that fat guy — I'm shaving him bald tonight!"
Xie Yue: "Dared to flirt with my sister? He's asking for death!"
Hu Liena: "Anyone who dares challenge Brother Feng — I'll smash them!"
Boss Hu: "No more holding back tonight, right?"
Jiang Xiaofeng: "Go all out — just don't kill anyone."
"No problem!"
Not long after, the previous 7v7 team match ended. Up next: Fengshen Battle Team vs. Shrek Battle Team.
"Dear Spirit Masters, the next 7v7 match pits a team of Soul Elders against a team of Soul Sects!"
"One holds a Bronze Badge, the other Silver. Both are undefeated. Can the Soul Elder team challenge the Soul Sect team? Let's find out! First, please welcome our first team: Fengshen Battle Team!"
Jiang Xiaofeng and his crew stood at the tunnel entrance, entering slowly as the announcer introduced them.
When they appeared before the audience, everyone realized they were all wearing masks — their faces completely hidden.
With even genders obscured by their gear, it was impossible to tell who was who.
"What the hell? Is Fengshen Battle Team too shady to show their faces?"
"Who knows where they're from — somehow still undefeated!"
"Fengshen with the masks… wait, isn't that the crazy team from Blackhorn City?"
"You know something? Spill it!"
"Know what? Our team fought them back in Blackhorn. They could've wiped us in five minutes, but they dragged it out for 20! Even when we tried to end it, they wouldn't let us. Said they were practicing battle formations. Tell me that's not twisted!"
"Damn… Fengshen is into that kinda stuff? But Blackhorn's a small city — probably no top-tier teams. This is Soto Great Spirit Arena. I don't think Fengshen can keep up here. Even if they win today, tougher teams are coming."
"Who cares? I'm betting on Fengshen. They're Soul Sects. Shrek's just Soul Elders — isn't that suicide?"
