Chapter 184: Blazing Fire Academy
The next day, Ling Mo led the team to the Great Fighting Soul Arena, for Shrek Team’s seventh round of the preliminary round today.
In the previous six rounds, they defeated their opponents with an undefeated record!
They were the third team so far to maintain an undefeated record.
Arriving at the preparation area, Master and the others were already there, and even Zhao Wuji had come.
“Little Monsters, perform well today! Old Zhao I finally squeezed out some time to come watch your match, don’t disappoint me…”
Zhao Wuji said excitedly. Flander had led the team out, leaving the entire academy to him alone.
Just in time, the academy had nothing to do today, so he ran out! For this, he even argued with Flander.
Old Zhao was hot-tempered, how could he stand such torment? He had long wanted to come out and watch Ling Mo and the others’ Fighting Soul matches, but unfortunately, he never had the time.
“After watching this match, hurry back. If anything happens at the academy, I won’t let you off…”
Flander glared angrily, but Zhao Wuji ignored him completely.
He went out to have fun carefree, dumping all the matters on me, and still has the nerve to talk about me.
“Hehe, Teacher Zhao, don’t worry! We’re the ones aiming for the champion…”
Ma Hongjun said from behind. Oscar also stepped forward and said: “Exactly, so far, we haven’t even needed to make a move. Brother Mo alone swept the entire Great Fighting Soul Arena, it was simply too impressive…”
“Don’t include me in your bragging…”
Ling Mo gave him a glance. It wasn’t that simple. Up to now, Ling Mo had neither used Dual Pupils nor exposed Five-Colored Light.
He had swept through purely relying on the power of Peacock!
In reality, as the opponents they encountered grew stronger, Ling Mo was starting to feel the strain.
He had originally planned to save these trump cards for Spirit Hall, but… Ling Mo felt he would have to expose some of them.
“Don’t get careless! Arrogant troops are bound to lose. Underestimating the enemy is not a good habit…”
Zhao Wuji said seriously.
Ever since Master arrived, he rarely had the chance to teach them. While Master was still researching this opponent’s tactics, he quickly said a few more words to satisfy himself.
“Hehe, Teacher Zhao! You not mentioning it is fine, but now that you do, I remember—back when we were still in Suotuo City during the entrance assessment, you got careless and got beaten by Ling Mo…”
As soon as Oscar brought this up, Zhao Wuji’s forehead immediately bulged with veins.
“Damn it, don’t drag me into your insults…”
This was an old grudge from way back.
“Alright, no more fooling around! Perform well today, and after the preliminary round is over, I’ll treat everyone…”
Zhao Wuji was always generous. Though he didn’t have much money, he wasn’t stingy and miserly like certain people.
“Yay, Teacher Zhao, you said it, no taking it back…”
“Of course, when has Old Zhao ever lied to you? I’m not like certain people, stingy ghosts…”
Flander: “……？？？”
After some playful banter, Master walked over with a solemn expression and said: “This time, your opponents are Blazing Fire Academy!”
“Blazing Fire Academy?”
After hearing this, everyone was stunned. They didn’t expect to run into one of the Four Element Academies so soon.
“That’s right, Blazing Fire Academy…”
Master walked to the table and continued: “Blazing Fire Academy, like Thunder Academy, is renowned for attack.
They have a team combining fire-type strong attack, fire-type control, fire-type agility attack, fire-type support, and more.
In their last match against Elephant Armored Academy, they won decisively. Even the Diamond Mammoth, known as one of the strongest in defense, couldn’t withstand their bombardment.”
Elephant Armored Academy again, routinely reduced to a background board.
Earlier, they had boasted that even if they didn’t take the champion, they would at least be top three.
Yet they got swept by Shrek, brutally beaten by Thunder Academy, and now swept by Blazing Fire too.
Now Elephant Armored Academy had become a unit of measurement: …Shrek Academy equals three Elephant Armored Academies, Thunder Academy equals two Elephant Armored Academies.
Wondering… how many Elephant Armored Academies Blazing Fire Academy equals.
Cough cough… this formula isn’t quite perfected yet and needs further refinement.
“Blazing Fire Academy is known for fire. Their captain is named Huo Wushuang! It seems this Huo Wushuang is the core.
In reality, the true core is the vice-captain, Huo Wu!”
Ling Mo recalled that this Huo Wu was somewhat notable, with a faint impression.
“Oh? What ability does she have?”
Master asked. He had researched for a long time without figuring it out, so how did Ling Mo know?
“Hehe, keeping that confidential for now! Master, leave the tactics to me…”
Ling Mo didn’t say directly but began arranging tactics right away.
“First round, central arena, Shrek Academy versus Blazing Fire Academy.”
The host loudly announced the list of entering team members. Both sides’ teams strode proudly into the arena.
Ling Mo led at the front, with Tang San at his side! This time, Shrek Academy’s formation changed once again.
Ma Hongjun was added, while Dai Mubai was swapped out.
Zhu Zhuqing didn’t take the field either, and as for Ning Rongrong, she hadn’t played a single match yet.
“Fatty, it’s your performance time soon…”
Ling Mo walked onto the stage and didn’t forget to turn back and say it, his sly smile clearly showing to anyone perceptive that he definitely had some scheme again.
“Hehe, don’t worry Brother Mo. After all, it’s Fatty’s debut battle, I definitely have to put on a spirited show…”
Ma Hongjun patted his chest, indicating everything was on him.
As Shrek Academy’s team took the stage, Blazing Fire Academy’s side looked puzzled at the fatty appearing for the first time, very confused.
“What’s strange about this little fatty?”
Huo Wushuang said seriously, while Huo Wu beside him directly retorted: “A short and fat fatty, what’s there to fear!”
“Sigh, you can’t judge by appearances…”
Huo Wushuang looked at his sister with a headache. Why did she have such an illusion? Ugly appearance means weak strength for sure?
The referee walked to the center. “Both sides, line up and salute.”
The fourteen team members from both sides stood in two rows and saluted each other.
Ling Mo carefully sized them up and found that Blazing Fire Academy’s strength levels were fairly even.
The only female team member was the one behind Huo Wushuang, Huo Wu…
Ling Mo silently glanced at her and revealed a peculiar smile. Huo Wu, with her fiery temper, almost couldn’t hold back and cursed right there.
“Today, your winning streak is about to end…”
Huo Wushuang stared fixedly at Ling Mo and said.
“Oh? So confident?”
Ling Mo didn’t take it seriously and just smiled. He didn’t think he would lose.
“If your control-type Soul Master didn’t have a plant-based Martial Soul, perhaps you’d have a chance…
You’re strong, but… six against seven, no matter how strong you are, you have no chance of winning…”
Huo Wushuang wasn’t afraid of Ling Mo knowing and stated it outright.
So he was targeting Tang San as the breakthrough. Ling Mo had thought they secretly cultivated some supreme martial art specifically to counter him.
“Some reason to it, then… let’s wait and see!”
With that, Ling Mo retreated to the back.
Huo Wushuang’s words had no deterrent effect at all. Did he think Tang San’s Martial Soul was ordinary Blue Silver Grass?
What a joke. Even without Tang San, they still had no chance of winning.
