Back in the rest area, the members of the Sun and Moon team had different expressions.
This battle against Shrek Academy was truly full of twists and turns. In one team fight, Lin Nuo killed two Shrek Academy members, which made the Sun Moon Team, which had only suffered casualties in previous competitions, extremely happy.
No one thought Lin Nuo did anything wrong, and no one thought that Lin Nuo's killing on the field was too cruel, simply because he killed someone from Shrek Academy.
Not only will no one blame him, but he will even become a hero, a hero of the Sun Moon Empire in resisting the Japanese invasion!
Those who kill Shrek are absolutely right in the Sun Moon Empire!
"But why that big black guy?" Xiao Hongchen scratched his head.
In the Sun Moon Empire, black is considered beautiful. Black people are nobles in the Sun Moon Empire, and the darker their skin, the more valuable they are. Skin like He Caitou's is basically only available to members of the Sun Moon royal family.
Normal people from the Sun Moon Empire would feel a sense of familiarity upon seeing this skin, so why did Lin Nuo kill him the second one?
Not only Xiao Hongchen, but Ma Rulong and the others also had some doubts.
To this, Lin Nuo simply grinned: "Melting every single piece of chocolate!"
"Are you all stupid? He went to Shrek Academy! What's the difference between that and eating the peaches of immortality? Helping Shrek Academy people against our Sun Moon Empire—he deserves to die!"
The others looked at each other and scratched their heads. After thinking about it, they realized that it made sense. After understanding it, they not only understood Lin Nuo's behavior, but also felt a little annoyed.
"Why didn't I think of that? Damn it, I should have shoved the cannon barrel into his mouth just now!" Xiao Hongchen said with some regret.
"Alright, since they're already skewered and grilled anyway, I'll just consider it your portion and cook it for you." Lin Nuo patted Xiao Hongchen on the shoulder, then looked at Ma Rulong, "I'll be the first one in the individual match later, let's finish the match quickly and go home!"
Ma Rulong was naturally happy to have the big shot lend a hand.
The thought of becoming the first team captain in the Sun Moon Empire's four-thousand-year history to defeat Shrek Academy in the Soul Fighting Tournament made Ma Rulong so happy that he started bubbling with snot. He began to fantasize about the wonderful life he would enjoy after returning to the Sun Moon Empire, being the center of attention and admirers.
It wasn't just Ma Rulong; the other members of the Sun and Moon team were the same.
After all, this is a great honor!
As for losing?
We cannot lose. With Lin Nuo around, we have no rivals ahead.
"I said, victory is a foregone conclusion!"
Meanwhile, in the Shrek team's rest area, thanks to Wang Xian'er's treatment, Ma Xiaotao and the others recovered from their injuries at an extremely fast pace.
Dai Yueheng's broken leg was reattached, Bei Bei and Ling Luochen's penetrating wounds were healed, and Ma Xiaotao's already few injuries disappeared without a trace.
Of course, there was an important reason why Lin Nuo deliberately avoided Ma Xiaotao. Otherwise, he could have easily skewered Ma Xiaotao and the others into barbecue. Knowing that Ma Xiaotao had the potential to become the Fire Phoenix Saintess, Lin Nuo insisted on giving her the chance to "rise from the ashes".
The private seat at the Sword of Judgment is still reserved for her!
She probably thought that her phoenix flames were powerful enough to make Lin Nuo unable to do anything to her, but in reality, it was simply because Lin Nuo released enough sea flames.
Before fusing with the Gold of Life, given Lin Nuo's humorous Blue Silver Grass, without the Sword of Judgment, he would have had no choice but to avoid Ma Xiaotao.
But now he is not only at the same Soul Emperor level as Ma Xiaotao, but his attributes completely overwhelm hers. The ultimate life of the World Tree is not afraid of her impure Phoenix Fire at all.
Even without the aid of the Sword of Judgment, he was confident that he could kill Ma Xiaotao in three minutes.
Not to mention the Sword of Judgment, a divine weapon specifically designed to counter evil spirit masters.
However, Ma Xiaotao, unaware of this incident, was still resentful. She believed that the team's defeat was due to too many unexpected situations. First, Jiang Nannan and Xu Sanshi acted on their own initiative and did not follow the plan. Later, because she had to protect her teammates in Lin Nuo's Blue Silver Forest, she had no chance to fight Lin Nuo head-on.
If given free rein, Lin Nuo would be nothing more than a clay chicken or a clay dog!
In terms of individual combat strength, Lin Nuo is no match for them!
We must win! We absolutely have to win!
Not only does she want to win, she also wants to burn Lin Nuo to ashes to avenge the deaths of Jiang Nannan and He Caitou. Those who killed Shrek Academy members must pay with their blood!
However, Ma Xiaotao also understood her limitations. The closer she was to exploding, the less the evil fire affected her personality, making her less fiery and allowing her to calmly analyze the situation.
"Blue Silver Grass is immune to fire? No, it's just because my flames aren't strong enough!" A wisp of purplish-red flame quietly appeared in Ma Xiaotao's eyes.
"In the battle just now, my Phoenix Flame was definitely effective against his Blue Silver Grass. You can tell from how the Blue Silver Grass was twisted and distorted by my flames. It was only because my flames were too scattered to protect the others that they weren't effective. If I just focused a little more, his Blue Silver Grass definitely wouldn't be able to withstand my Phoenix Flame!"
"besides-"
As Ma Xiaotao felt the evil fire burning her body, a deep, hidden blackness appeared in the purplish-red flames in her eyes.
"The evil fire—it's only because of my suppression. I didn't want to be influenced by it, so I never embraced its true power and always suppressed its deepest might."
"Faced with that damned Blue Silver Grass Soul Master, I can no longer suppress myself. I need stronger flames, I need greater power, I need a weapon that can burn him to ashes to atone for the hatred in my heart!"
The purplish-red flames grew increasingly dark.
No one knows what Ma Xiaotao is thinking at this moment, nor does anyone know what kind of transformation she is undergoing.
At this moment, Wang Xian'er, who had finished treating them, put away her martial spirit, and her appearance changed from a stunningly beautiful young woman of sixteen to a kind old grandmother with a face full of wrinkles.
"Although your injuries have healed, the damage to your core essence requires rest and recovery. If possible, I suggest you stop competing," Wang Xian'er reminded her before turning and leaving.
After hearing Wang Xian'er's words, the members of the Shrek team looked at each other, their faces full of hesitation and struggle.
Lin Nuo's strength, and the strength of the Sun and Moon Team, are simply too strong.
Putting aside the fact that they were an incomplete team to begin with, even if they were at their peak, their chances of winning were still slim, and they would have to fight with all their might to have a chance.
With two players already injured or killed, do we really still want to risk our lives for the already slim chance of winning the championship for Shrek's glory?
Can they really do it?
"What's wrong? Have you all lost your fighting spirit?"
