This punch wasn't just pure strength; it also subtly utilized the Imperial Sky Technique.
The defensive Soul Master, having taken a heavy blow to the back, found his body becoming lighter in that instant, making him easily fly forward.
Shi Yu attacked continuously, punching from a distance. While the person was still in the air, Senior hit him several times. By the time Senior landed, Senior was in such a sorry state that Senior could barely get up.
The nearly two hundred thousand spectators watching once again gasped in surprise, looking at this scene in disbelief.
What did they see... a Soul Grandmaster actually taking down three Soul Grandmasters and two Soul Grandmasters by himself?
And Senior defeated them with relative ease, seemingly without much effort.
The shock this scene gave them was immense.
Especially those Soul Masters, they were even more aware of the gap between a Soul Grandmaster and a Soul Grandmaster.
Normally, a Soul Grandmaster, even with the ability to fight above their level, couldn't defeat a Soul Grandmaster so easily.
After all, there was a difference of one Soul Ring; even if they could win, it should be very difficult.
But the situation before them was completely different from what they had expected. A Soul Grandmaster defeating a Soul Grandmaster was easy, surprisingly easy.
This didn't look like a Soul Grandmaster facing a Soul Grandmaster at all, but rather like a Soul Grandmaster dimensionally crushing a Soul Grandmaster.
"This person is so strong," many people exclaimed in admiration, paying close attention to Shi Yu.
With Shi Yu alone taking care of the opponent's five people, there was no longer any suspense in this battle.
Ultimately, the remaining two were also defeated by Jiang Nannan and the others, and Shrek Academy won this battle.
"Shrek Academy wins," when the Referee announced the result of the match, the scene was silent for a while.
Then, thunderous applause erupted, and the name of Shrek Academy was cheered loudly.
Many people who wanted to see Shrek Academy make a fool of themselves were greatly disappointed.
Especially Tianling Academy, they had originally wanted to make history and become the first team to ever defeat Shrek Academy.
But who would have thought that even the Shrek Academy team in such a predicament was not something they could defeat?
It could even be described as something they couldn't contend with, because throughout the entire battle, they were the disadvantaged side. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were completely crushed and defeated by the opponent.
Who would have thought that their lineup of five Soul Grandmasters and two Soul Grandmasters would actually be defeated by the opponent's lineup of one Soul Grandmaster, two Soul Grandmasters, one Soul Grandmaster, and one other person who might also be a Soul Grandmaster?
The opponent was also short two people, and their Soul Power level was not as high as theirs.
But the situation during the battle was completely one-sided.
As proud as Tianling Academy was at the beginning, they were now just as miserable, becoming a laughingstock.
Losing to Shrek Academy is not shameful, but losing to the current Shrek Academy participating team is extremely shameful.
While many academies were mocking the Tianling Academy team's incompetence, they were also secretly vigilant, with most of their gazes falling on Shi Yu.
This person's ability is very powerful. His Naruto's Instant Transmission with almost no warning would make facing Senior not easy.
"Be extra careful of this person," Ma Rulong from Sun Moon Royal Academy's side was very serious about Shi Yu.
"His Naruto's Instant Transmission shouldn't be usable without limit, right?" someone said, uncertainly.
Just now, they had counted the number of times Shi Yu used Naruto's Instant Transmission: nine times.
This number could be said to be quite astonishing. Normally, it's already an exaggeration for a Naruto's Instant Transmission skill to be used two or three times consecutively.
As for Senior's consecutive use of nine times, it made people unsure how to evaluate it for a while.
No one answered; they weren't quite sure about the answer to this question either, but it probably wasn't possible.
The Star Luo Emperor on the city wall was also surprised by Shi Yu's performance, which was even better than Senior had anticipated.
"We must do everything we can to win this person over," the Star Luo Emperor decided in his heart.
Currently, Shi Yu is an honorary consultant of the Star Luo Empire, but this is not enough; they need to make Senior truly feel a sense of belonging to the Star Luo Empire.
From the opponent's performance just now, it could be foreseen that this person would definitely become a top-tier expert on the Continent when Senior grows up in the future.
Shi Yu led Jiang Nannan and the others off the stage. The audience focused on them, with continuous applause and cheers, creating a sensational scene.
Shi Yu was still a bit unaccustomed to such a large crowd, trying to maintain composure as Senior left the arena.
Jiang Nannan, Huo Yuhao, and the others followed behind Senior. Now, Senior was the temporary captain of the Shrek Academy participating team.
"You performed very well," after Shi Yu and the others returned, Xuan Lao said with a smile, praising them.
Even with his discerning eye, there were no flaws to pick out.
Shi Yu's performance could be said to be nearly perfect, using his Naruto's Instant Transmission ability to make the opponent almost unable to retaliate.
Shi Yu showed a smile, and Jiang Nannan, Huo Yuhao, and the others were also very happy.
They didn't embarrass Shrek Academy in this opening match.
"Do you want to stay here to watch the matches or go back to rest?" Xuan Lao asked.
"I want to stay here and watch the matches," Shi Yu said. First, it was to learn more about potential future opponents through the matches.
Secondly, Senior wanted to watch the excitement. This kind of competition happens every five years, so it's better to watch a couple more matches.
"I also want to stay and watch the matches," Jiang Nannan said.
Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao also felt the same way.
"Then let's stay here and watch the matches," Xuan Lao had originally intended to go back to rest, but at this point, Senior also yielded to the opinions of Shi Yu and the others.
They didn't leave immediately but stayed here to watch the matches.
Students from other academies nearby occasionally cast glances at them, no longer having the previous contempt.
The Shrek Academy participating members were indeed not as strong as before, but with the emergence of such a monster, the current Shrek participating team is not to be underestimated.
There were many matches after the opening match, some exciting, while others were purely weak teams pecking at each other.
Shi Yu still insisted on watching the entire process.
All the matches on the first day were finished. There would be matches tomorrow and the day after. The group stage would only start after all the first-round matches were completed.
For the next two days, Shi Yu came to the venue to watch the matches and quite enjoyed the atmosphere.
After all the first-round matches were completed, the number of participating teams was directly halved.
The first round was the most brutal; if you lost, you went straight home, not even having the qualification to participate in the group stage.
The remaining teams were divided into eight groups, with the top two from each group advancing to the subsequent knockout stage.
After the groups were drawn, Shi Yu roughly looked at the situation of Shrek Academy's group.
Some academy names were relatively unfamiliar and were not the group opponents Shrek Academy encountered in the original story.
Among them, two were from the Sun Moon Empire, not the Sun Moon Royal Academy, but other academies from the Sun Moon Empire. After asking Zhang Lexuan and the others, Senior learned that these two academies from the Sun Moon Empire were not weak in strength.
To be precise, the overall strength of the academies on the Sun Moon Empire's side was not weak.
More than thirty academies from the Sun Moon Empire came to participate in the competition, and nearly three-quarters of them successfully broke through and entered the subsequent group stage.
As for the academies from the Original Douluo Three Kingdoms, more than half of the academies from the Dou Ling and Tian Soul Empires were eliminated.
Nearly half of the academies from the Star Luo Empire were also eliminated.
From the proportion of eliminated academies, it can be seen how high the overall quality of the academies on the Sun Moon Empire's side was.
This is also related to the fact that the academies on the Sun Moon Empire's side are basically Soul Mentor academies. They have a significant advantage when fighting with Soul Guidance Devices against pure Soul Master academies.
It is precisely by relying on Soul Guidance Devices that they have the largest number of teams entering the group stage in each major competition.
In the subsequent knockout stage, the proportion of academies from the Sun Moon Empire is also relatively high.
