"Wong..." The Mysterious Heart Technique began to operate.
A terrifying sword intent radiated from Zhang Fan's hand.
Those soul masters with sword martial spirits all had a slight change in expression.
Because they felt their own martial spirits trembling.
This greatly shocked them.
After all, no one expected that the captain of Shrek Academy, without even releasing his martial spirit or soul rings, could possess such a terrifying sword intent.
It left their eyes wide and stunned.
He stood with one hand behind his back, wearing flowing azure robes, his hair fluttering gently. His left hand formed a sword gesture that radiated dazzling light.
Countless sword-shaped sword intents seemed to swirl around his hand.
Everyone's hearts were stirred by that one sword gesture.
"Swoosh..."
Without any warning, Zhang Fan raised his hand and slashed forward.
"Wong..." A sword beam instantly burst from his sword finger.
It was so dazzling, flashing out in an instant.
So fast that the Blazing Fire Academy members had only just reacted—
Only to find that sword beam already in front of them.
"Clang..." A heavy metallic clash rang out as the flame energy barrier of the Blazing Fire Team was instantly shattered.
"Ahh..."Huo Wushuang hadn't expected this guy, without using soul skills or martial spirit, to be so powerful just with sword techniques.
In the VIP area, Sword Douluo couldn't help but smile slightly at the sight, knowing well the terror of Zhang Fan's sword.
Even a master swordsman like himself had been easily defeated by this boy.
"Uncle Sword, can this sword of Zhang Fan's defeat the people from Blazing Fire Academy?" asked Ning Fengzhi curiously.
"If he uses his sword technique at full strength, he should be able to. But he probably won't completely defeat them," replied Sword Douluo calmly.
"Hmm!"Ning Fengzhi understood what he meant and just smiled without saying more.
"Clang..." The sword beam formed a terrifying shockwave, blasting the two flying soul masters in mid-air backward.
"Ahh..." Both screamed and were sent flying before crashing to the ground with a "bang..."
They instantly passed out.
"Ugh..."Huo Wu's eyes were wide in horror. So this is the strength of Shrek's captain?
Why was he so powerful?
He didn't even use soul skills, yet he easily shattered the flame energy barrier formed by the entire Blazing Fire Team. He was indeed very strong.
In an instant, the Blazing Fire Team was down to five members.
"How could this happen?"Huo Wu was shocked by Zhang Fan's sword. That casual strike had such terrifying power, and was so fast they hadn't even had time to react.
They were too slow to save anyone.
This was like seeing a ghost.
Even Huo Wushuang hadn't expected Zhang Fan, without martial spirit or soul rings, to be so strong with just sword techniques—easily defeating his two teammates.
If he actually used his martial spirit and soul rings, what would happen then?
"Don't panic! We fight!" said Huo Wushuang seriously to Huo Wu and the others, as claws emerged between his hands. His body expanded again, golden-red light erupting from his scales, his whole body engulfed in searing flames. It was a self-enhancing augmentation technique.
"Fourth Soul Skill: Fire Dance of the Sun!"
Huo Wu also shouted lowly, fire gathering between her hands. Finally, it condensed into a massive white fireball above her head. It could lock onto targets, flew quickly, and had great power. It could even absorb soul power from teammates to enhance its strength.
"Go!"Zhang Fan looked at Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai, and Tang San.
"Okay!"Xiao Wu instantly vanished into thin air.
Zhu Zhuqing also disappeared.
"Teleport!"Xiao Wu suddenly flashed behind Huo Wu, who hadn't noticed. "Wong..." In that moment, six clones merged with her, and she kicked out Lightning Dance.
"Boom..." A loud explosion sent Huo Wu flying like a cannonball.
"Swish swish!" Five blades from Zhu Zhuqing slashed at Huo Wushuang, and she had already flashed behind him. Three figures merged, unleashing Lightning Dance with a sudden kick.
"Swish swish..."Huo Wushuang dodged the five blades but couldn't avoid Zhu Zhuqing's kick.
Meanwhile, Dai Mubai charged in and fiercely attacked two large men.
Tang San also moved in.
With Ghost Shadow Perplexing Steps, he suddenly kicked at Huo Wushuang.
"Bang..."Huo Wushuang was sent flying instantly.
"Swoosh..."Xiao Wu and Dai Mubai defeated the two big men.
In an instant, Blazing Fire Academy was defeated.
Huo Wu climbed up from the ground. "Waaah... I didn't expect to lose this badly!"
She had been so confident, but now this happened.
They hadn't even used their full strength and were already eliminated—completely speechless.
"Sis, don't cry. We'll have another chance!"Huo Wushuang comforted Huo Wu.
"Latest novels first published on 69 Book Bar!"
Huo Wu cried bitterly, unable to stop.
And thinking of her confession to Zhang Fan made her sob even harder.
It was the first time in her life she had suffered such humiliation.
"Ugh..." The audience below was all stunned. No one had expected that such a strong team like Blazing Fire Academy would lose to Shrek Academy.
"Shrek rules!"
"Shrek is mighty!"
The cheers rolled on from the audience.
All were praising Shrek.
No one had expected Shrek to defeat Blazing Fire Academy so easily.
Plus, two extremely bizarre things had happened on stage.
One: Huo Wu had suddenly confessed to the opposing captain.
That alone shocked the crowd.
And two: Tang San of Shrek had knelt to a Blazing Fire Academy member.
These two things were downright nuts.
Among the crowd was one other person — Feng Xiaotian. He stared gloomily at Zhang Fan, the Shrek captain who had made Huo Wu cry.
He had fallen in love with Huo Wu at first sight.
Whenever he wasn't in a match, he'd come to watch her compete.
What made him even angrier was Huo Wu confessing to Zhang Fan.
That was one of the reasons he wanted revenge.
When they faced Shrek Academy, he'd be sure to give them hell.
In the VIP area—
Ning Fengzhi smiled happily but said nothing.
Salas' expression was extremely gloomy—no one could guess what he was thinking.
But the most shocked of all was Emperor Xue Ye. He hadn't expected Zhang Fan to be so powerful without using martial spirit or soul rings. If he did use them, wouldn't it be even more terrifying?
"Wow... We won again!"Xiao Wu bounced happily in front of Zhang Fan.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing also jumped to Zhang Fan's side.
Everyone else joined in, celebrating today's victory.
Flender, Liu Erlong, and Qin Ming all smiled, knowing they would win—but they hadn't expected it so quickly, especially against the powerful Blazing Fire Academy.
Only Yu Xiaogang had a grim face. Tang San had lost control again. That public kneeling was a major blow to his reputation.
