Chapter 34: First Encounter with the Shrek Seven Devils
Dragon Chen knew that talking too much with Ye Lingling was pointless.
Because Ye Lingling was just a healer, she couldn't directly participate in combat, and the situation on the arena was not something she could decide.
Qin Ming led the team into the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena and went directly to the participating Spirit Master Living Area.
Dragon Chen and Dugu Bo arrived at the VIP room again.
Tonight's match in the central Great Spirit Arena was only one, with the Royal Fight Team facing the Shrek Seven Devils team.
Dragon Chen said, "Bro Bo, the Royal Fight Team might encounter a little trouble tonight; their opponents have some strength."
"How do you know?"
"I inquired at the front desk. A Spirit Elder-level Iron Fight Soul team has been continuously participating in the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena for a month, undefeated, with twenty-seven victories."
Dugu Bo frowned.
"Are you talking about that Shrek Seven Devils team?"
"Exactly, it's them."
"They do have some strength, but they are still an Iron Fight Soul level team."
"No. Under Manager Ao's operation, they should now be a Silver Fight Soul level team."
Dugu Bo nodded, a smile appearing on his face.
"Yan Yan and the others won their previous two matches too easily. It's good to have a challenging team."
"If Dugu Yan is bullied on the stage, you wouldn't intervene, would you?"
"Of course not. The Great Spirit Arena has its rules, unless her life is threatened. That child, Yan Yan, has had everything go smoothly since she was little. It's good for her to suffer a little occasionally and experience some setbacks."
"Hmm, that's true."
Dragon Chen knew that Tang San had a way to neutralize Dugu Yan's Bi Lin Snake Venom and would defeat Dugu Yan.
Therefore, he discussed this with Dugu Bo in advance, preparing Dugu Bo mentally.
On the other side, in the participating Spirit Master Living Area.
The seven members of the Royal Fight Team were either chatting or resting with their eyes closed, while Ye Lingling stood alone in a corner.
Qin Ming suddenly walked in and spread the cloth scroll he was holding on the table.
"Your opponents tonight are the Shrek Seven Devils team."
Everyone quickly gathered around.
Dugu Yan read from the contents of the cloth scroll: "Shrek Seven Devils team, seven members, Iron Fight Soul badge."
Oslo scoffed with disdain.
"Why is it another Iron Fight Soul badge? Is the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena out of people? They sent another Iron Fight Soul level team."
"Don't underestimate them!"
Qin Ming glanced at Oslo and continued, "The Shrek Seven Devils team is not as weak as you imagine. They used to have an Iron Fight Soul badge, but through this month's Great Spirit Arena matches, their points have reached the Silver Fight Soul level. Therefore, the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena has decided to grant them Silver Fight Soul qualification in advance, just in time to challenge you."
"Only just got Silver Fight Soul qualification?"
"Exactly. However, they've only been participating in Great Spirit Arena matches for about a month. Within a month, they participated in twenty-seven team battles and achieved victory in all twenty-seven, with no losses. Such results are even better than yours; you know, it took you a whole year to get your Silver Fight Soul badge."
Yu Feng was a bit unconvinced.
"The Suotuo Great Spirit Arena cannot compare to the Great Spirit Arena in Heaven Dou City. The Spirit Masters who come here for Great Spirit Arena matches are not too strong. They probably haven't encountered particularly strong opponents, which is why they easily won so many victories."
Qin Ming shook his head.
"As far as I know, the Shrek Seven Devils won their first team Great Spirit Arena match against the Raging Flame Team. You know the strength of the Raging Flame Team; they are actually not bad, but they still lost to the Shrek Seven Devils."
"They actually won against the Raging Flame Team?"
Ye Lingling suddenly said, "Brother Chen also reminded me that tonight's opponents are stronger than any we've encountered before."
Qin Ming frowned, a little puzzled.
"Our opponents were just confirmed. How would Dragon Chen know?"
"I'm not too sure, he seemed to have heard it from Manager Ao."
Qin Ming nodded.
"Alright, you guys take a look at the Shrek Seven Devils' information first."
Everyone looked at the cloth scroll spread on the table, which contained some information about the Shrek Seven Devils.
Captain: Evil Eyes White Tiger, Spirit: White Tiger, Level 38 attack system War Spirit Grand Master, spirit rings: two yellow, one purple.
Vice-Captain: Thousand Hands Asura, Spirit: Blue Silver Grass, Level 32 control system War Spirit Grand Master, spirit rings: two yellow, one purple.
Member: Soft Bone Charm Rabbit, Spirit: Jade Rabbit, Level 31 close-combat attack system War Spirit Grand Master, spirit rings: two yellow, one purple.
Member: Sausage Vendor, Spirit: Sausage, Level 31 support system Tool Spirit Master, spirit rings: two yellow, one purple.
Member: Evil Fire Phoenix, Spirit: Evil Fire Phoenix, Level 28 attack system Spirit Master, spirit rings: two yellow.
Member: Hell Civet, Spirit: Hell Civet, Level 28 agility-attack system Spirit Master, spirit rings: two yellow.
Member: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile, Spirit: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Level 27 support system Tool Spirit Master, spirit rings: two yellow.
After reading the Shrek Seven Devils' information, the members of the Royal Fight Team paid even less attention to them.
The information showed that among the Shrek Seven Devils, only four members were above Level 30, three of whom had just broken through Level 30, and the strongest, Evil Eyes White Tiger, was only Level 38.
There were also three members below Level 30.
Meanwhile, among the Royal Fight Team, Yu Tianheng had reached Level 39, Dugu Yan and Shi Mo were both Level 38, and even Ye Lingling, with the lowest spirit power level, had reached Level 35.
Between the two sides, there was a considerable gap in the number of spirit rings and total spirit power.
Qin Ming reminded, "The person who needs the most attention among the Shrek Seven Devils is Thousand Hands Asura. Although his Spirit is Blue Silver Grass, he has extremely strong control. In previous Great Spirit Arena matches, he often played a decisive role."
Dugu Yan scoffed with disdain.
"Blue Silver Grass Spirit? Is it that formidable? Evil Eyes White Tiger and Evil Fire Phoenix might have some strength."
Yu Tianheng said, "Regardless, achieving twenty-seven consecutive victories in one month is enough to prove they have some strength."
Qin Ming nodded.
"This information is incomplete; there are no Spirit Ability records. We'll only know their true strength when we actually fight them. Remember my words, an arrogant army will be defeated. Do not underestimate any opponent."
"Understood."
"There's one more thing to note: during the match, no one is allowed to be ruthless, nor are you allowed to injure or cripple them."
After Qin Ming finished speaking, his gaze fell on Dugu Yan, and he instructed, "Yanzi, especially you, if they are poisoned by you, immediately detoxify them after the match ends."
"Teacher, why is that? Haven't you taught us to give our all in the Great Spirit Arena?"
"This time it's different. I'll tell you after the match."
"Alright."
"Alright, time is almost up, prepare yourselves."

The lights in the central main Great Spirit Arena suddenly lit up, concentrating their beams towards the Great Spirit Arena stage.
After an introduction by the host, both teams' members entered the arena.
