Long Yue and the others want to challenge us? They’re our old friends whom we haven’t met in a long time!
Xie Xie commented as he pondered over it.
The Smiley Face Douluo said,
The Sect Master is still in seclusion. We can’t disturb him at this moment. After all, the Battle of Five Gods is the most important. If you guys are willing to accept their challenge, it’ll have to wait until the Battle of Five Gods is over.

Xie Xie looked at Yuanen Yehui and Ye Xinglan. When Tang Wulin was not around, these two would be the decision makers.

There’s no need, Your Excellency. The six of us will do,
said Yuanen Yehui drily.
The Smiley Face Douluo raised his eyebrows slightly.
Six against seven?



Yuanen Yehui gave a straightforward reply.
We’re also the Shrek Seven Monsters. The six of us will be enough.


Yes, the six of us will be enough,
Xie Xie smiled as well.
It’s been a long time since I’ve encountered powerful opponents. Back then, Long Yue swatted me away like I was a fly. I think they bullied us because we were young and inexperienced then. Well, we’re all grown up now. The time for revenge has come. Last time, it was big brother and Gu Yue who fended them off. It’s time for us to show them that we’re no longer at the same level. The six of us will do.

The Smiley Face Douluo looked at the other members of the Shrek Six Monsters. What he saw were calm and confident faces.
Six against seven? They would be fighting without their captain, their leader. Would they truly be alright?

Among the Monster Academy’s Heavenly Kings Clan, Long Yue is already a Title Douluo. As for the others, the Tiger King, the Fox King, and the Wind King have eight-ring cultivation bases. The Wolf King Hua Lantang and Ye Zhi are also close to having eight rings. Teng Teng is the only one who’s slightly weaker, but he’s still a seven-ring Soul Saint. Since they’re the Tang Sect’s disciples, I’m aware of their ranks. Among the younger generation, they’re at the pinnacle in the Star Luo Empire. It’s best not to let your guard down. If you guys lose this match, it may affect the Sect Master’s Battle of Five Gods.


There’s no need for you to worry, Your Excellency. We know what we’re doing.
Ye Xinglan stood up. The instant she stood up, a billowy Sword’s Consciousness burst forth from her body. In the next instant, the Sword’s Consciousness ran rampant and her eyes gleamed. Even with his cultivation base, the Smiley Face Douluo had to squint his eyes.
This was… Swordsoul?
They had always been with their captain who outshone everyone. His radiance was so dazzling that it constantly overshadowed theirs. In actual fact, were they not as outstanding? Of course, they were the Shrek Seven Monsters, the elites selected from the best academy on the continent.
If the Monster Academy’s Heavenly Kings Clan stood at the pinnacle of the Star Luo Empire’s younger generation, then the young group before the Smiley Face Douluo at the moment was of an even younger generation who was now at the peak of the entire Douluo Star.
A pure soul power cultivation base could no longer prove anything. They could not be assessed based on their soul power cultivation base anymore.


The Shrek Seven Monsters had never stopped moving forward!

Alright, I look forward to that.
the Smiley Face Douluo’s smile brightened. Indeed, he was filled with anticipation for this match. It was the Tang Sect’s own internal match. Regardless of the outcome, they were all members of the same family.
When he thought about this, he felt an inexplicable excitement. While the younger generation was gradually establishing themselves, the Tang Sect, as a whole, had been improving as well.
It was an era of prodigious talents!

What? Six against seven? Tang Wulin’s in secluded cultivation?
When they received the reply, even the usually calm Hua Lantang felt slightly exasperated.
Were they not looking down on them? The Shrek Seven Monsters had lost to them once before. Now, they had the gall to challenge them on these terms. Tang Wulin was not even going to participate. It was practically an insult!

Yes, the Sect Master is in secluded cultivation to prepare for the Battle of Five Gods. Hence, only six out of the Shrek Seven Monsters will be able to participate. That is, if all of you agree to it.


I’m sorry, Hall Master. I can’t make the decision on this one. However, I think that we’ll will take this as an insult,
said Hua Lantang in a deep voice.
Hu Jie sounded apologetic.
The Sect Master is currently in secluded cultivation to face the upcoming Battle of Five Gods. We better not disturb him. You can always wait until the Battle of Five Gods is over. However, I’m worried that you may not have the courage to challenge him after the Battle of Five Gods.

Hua Lantang was stunned.
You think that the gap between our strengths is that huge?



Hu Jie replied,
I’m not sure about the others, but the Sect Master’s strength can’t be judged by his age.

Hua Lantang said shockingly,
Don’t tell me that the Sect Master defeated you during your sparring session the other day?

Hu Jie shook his head.
He didn’t on that day. After all, he’s only in his twenties. However, there’s a price to pay, even for me, if I want to defeat him. I won’t be able to come out unscathed. It appears that the Sect Master doesn’t stand a chance in the Battle of Five Gods, but I think that the Sect Master can at least win one or two rounds.

Hua Lantang was silent for quite some time.
Alright, I’ll talk this over with the others.

Hu Jie replied,
Don’t give them the wrong idea. It’s not that the Shrek Seven Monsters are looking down on you guys. It’s a fact that our Sect Master won’t be available for any matches for the time being. It’s only a sparring session, after all. If you guys win, you can still go on a seven against seven after the Battle of Five Gods. It’s a good thing for you youngsters to spar as much as you can. It’ll be quite helpful in improving your strengths.

Hua Lantang left with a gloomy feeling. The Smiley Face Douluo was unsure if this sparring session could be carried out. Regardless of how things turned out, the Tang Sect would be quite active for the next few days. He wondered if the Tang Sect in the Federation was able to handle the pressure. His Excellency, the Amorous Douluo most probably had his hands full.
When Hua Lantang told the others about the Shrek Six Monsters’ reply, the others were upset as he expected.
The Shrek Six Monsters were too arrogant. Although they had been the final victors of the great competition, it was because of a final burst of strength from Tang Wulin and Gu Yue at the end. They had won by a hair’s breadth, just when their opponents from the Monster Academy were careless.
In terms of age, the Monster Academy actually had the upper hand. On average, they were five years older than the Shrek Seven Monsters. Naturally, they had been cultivating for a much longer time. They believed that there was just no comparison between them in terms of their soul power cultivation bases.
Six against seven, and without their strongest member, Tang Wulin. It was practically foolish talk, but it was also a mocking insult to them.



Agree to it.
Long Yue gave the final word.

Big brother, are we really agreeing to this? Even if we win, we’d win without much honor. They’re short of one member.

Dai Yueyan said,
How about this? Captain, you shouldn’t join this match. We’ll fight them, six against six. Tang Wulin indeed has his reasons for being unable to participate. We’ll not take advantage of this.


Hmm,
Long Yue nodded slightly. Should they lose the competition, they would not lose their integrity. Long Yue was similar to Tang Wulin. They were both captains of their respective teams. They held important positions in their teams. His non-participation in this competition would mean the same as Tang Wulin’s non-participation. In this way, the competition would be fair.
With this, the Tang Sect’s internal sparring session was set. It would be held the next morning.
Previously, Tang Wulin’s match with Hu Jie could only be watched by the experts of Title Douluo-rank and above. This time, the Smiley Face Douluo had informed everyone in the Tang Sect about the sparring session. Every disciple from the Tang Sect Star Luo headquarters could come to watch.
A match between two teams of powerhouses would undoubtedly attract the attention of everyone. At the same time, it would also motivate the younger ones.
