"What? You and junior sister aren't participating in the seven-on-seven!" Le Zhengyu looked at Qian Mo in front of him in shock, saying in disbelief.
"En, Na'er and I aren't aiming for Shrek, participating in the seven-on-seven has no meaning. Instead, there's a good chance you seven will become the Shrek Seven Devils, so participating in the seven-on-seven now to get used to each other is a good thing." Qian Mo said to the people before him.
Seeing that Qian Mo's mind was made up, Le Zhengyu sighed, "Alright."
"Ai," Xu Lizhi also sighed gloomily, "I originally thought with Mo Ge holding down the fort, our seven-on-seven event would be secure, but now…"
Qian Mo shook his head, "You seven can be listed as candidates for the Shrek Seven Devils by the academy, you are all very outstanding in every aspect, don't underestimate yourselves."
At this time, Tang Wulin also stood out and said: "That's right, believe in yourselves, even without Senior Brother Qian Mo's help, we can still win the seven-on-seven championship, just like that time we challenged the third-year students, without senior brother's help, didn't we succeed?"
The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament finally began under everyone's anticipation, bringing the atmosphere of the entire Star Luo City to a fervor like the arrival of a festival.
The first to be held was the individual competition, which was also the most anticipated, tense, and fierce competition.
Inside the Star Luo Grand Stadium, fifty arenas were set up, and matches were conducted according to the schedule.
As soon as one match ended, another would immediately begin, repeating in a cycle.
Until all the preliminary rounds were finished.
Inside the grand stadium, one competition stage after another stood side by side, each protected by a specialized spirit tool barrier to prevent mutual interference or energy leakage.
On the day the competition began, the area around the Star Luo Grand Stadium was packed with people, and many streets had already been closed off.
As soon as Qian Mo and Gu Yuena entered the grand stadium, they heard the massive cheers of three hundred thousand people, like surging waves crashing against the shore.
"It's really lively!" Qian Mo sighed, lowered his head to look at his contestant electronic tag, and confirmed his competition arena.
His opponent was number thirty-five, and there was no other information.
"Hey, Na'er, which arena are you on?" Qian Mo asked.
"Number one hundred and fifty-three," Gu Yuena showed her electronic tag to Qian Mo, "Be careful, don't get eliminated by me."
Qian Mo raised an eyebrow, "Then don't worry, you can't eliminate me, I'll be above you in this lifetime."
Before long, Qian Mo's number was called inside the stadium, so Qian Mo went to the check-in area to register.
After Qian Mo ascended the number twelve arena, he suddenly heard a burst of intense cheers from the audience around his arena.
Listening carefully, the audience seemed to be shouting the words "Shadow King".
A thin, small boy with an ordinary appearance leaped onto the arena and introduced himself to Qian Mo: "Teng Teng, from Monster Academy."
Qian Mo raised an eyebrow, if he remembered correctly, Monster Academy was a Spirit Master academy built by the Star Luo Empire in imitation of Shrek Academy, and it had indeed cultivated many geniuses. The eight most outstanding individuals of this generation were called the Eight Kings, and the Teng Teng before him seemed to be one of them, known as the "Shadow King".
"Shrek Academy, Qian Mo." Qian Mo also introduced himself.
Teng Teng's pupils contracted slightly upon hearing Qian Mo's self-introduction, and his originally somewhat lazy expression instantly became extremely serious.
Monster Academy had been benchmarked against Shrek Academy since its establishment. One of the Star Luo Empire's purposes in inviting Shrek Academy to participate in this tournament was to allow the students of Monster Academy to defeat the students of Shrek Academy in a fair and square manner, proving that Monster Academy was no worse than Shrek Academy.
"Match start!"
Following the referee's announcement, many eyes in the entire venue were focused on the match between Qian Mo and Wang Teng Teng.
Taking a step forward, five spirit rings rose from beneath Teng Teng's feet, the five purple spirit rings shining brilliantly.
He swayed his body, and the third spirit ring on him suddenly flickered, and then three copies of him appeared in place.
Shadow Clone!
His Spirit was related to his nickname, "Shadow King," and his Spirit was shadow, so his shadow clones were almost tangible existences with extremely high functionality.
The three Teng Tengs stepped out simultaneously, their speed incredibly fast, even leaving afterimages behind them. In almost an instant, they were already a hundred meters away, attacking Qian Mo from three directions at once.
When Teng Teng approached Qian Mo, the three figures suddenly flickered alternately, charging towards each other.
In the eyes of the audience, that series of afterimages formed a triangle around Qian Mo, and the afterimages were connected. For a moment, even Teng Teng's clones were no longer clearly visible.
In Teng Teng's hands, he held a dagger as black as ink, which was not his Spirit, but a spirit tool.
In individual matches, any equipment could be used, Dou Armor was allowed, and spirit tools naturally were too.
The technique he was currently using was called Shadow Link, using his extremely high movement speed combined with the shadow clone effect to create countless overlapping figures, making it impossible for his opponent to grasp his exact location.
Teng Teng continuously moved his position, searching for Qian Mo's weakness to deliver a lightning strike.
But after circling two or three times, he was surprised to find that Qian Mo was indifferent to his probing, just standing loosely in place, full of openings that made it almost impossible for him to attack.
After much thought, Teng Teng found a suitable position and struck decisively, the two daggers silently stabbing towards Qian Mo from the side.
But just as the daggers were about to touch Qian Mo, Wang Teng Teng was horrified to find a pair of golden eyes staring intently at him, and a fatal seductive aura also locked onto his true body among the three figures.
How is that possible?
His clones were enough to be mistaken for the real thing, how did he discover his true body?
Teng Teng didn't have time to think, because Qian Mo moved.
The Holy Cross Sword chopped down directly, Wang Teng Teng dodged, controlling two shadow clones to harass Qian Mo.
But Qian Mo's wings behind him flapped, shooting out two radiant feathers that instantly destroyed the two shadow clones.
Teng Teng wanted to dodge the Holy Cross Sword, but Qian Mo's burst speed was extremely fast, and Teng Teng found that he had no possibility of dodging at all.
Just as the Holy Cross Sword was about to chop onto Teng Teng, the second spirit ring on his body flashed, and then the person disappeared into thin air.
Qian Mo looked down and saw that his shadow on the ground was still there, and it had become more agile, quickly moving towards the side.
Hidden Shadow, Second Spirit Ability!
Qian Mo stomped his right foot fiercely, and holy light enveloped the entire venue in a mighty surge.
Where the holy radiance shone, shadows had nowhere to hide.
For Teng Teng's shadow Spirit, Qian Mo's Spirit possessing the ultimate light was considered his natural enemy.
The Holy Cross Sword in Qian Mo's hand was like a conductor's baton, pointing at the moving shadow, and a beam of holy light landed on the shadow.
