Chapter 90: Killers, Killed Forever.
"Is there no other way?"
Flanders rested his hands on the counter, his eyes fixed on the staff, clearly frustrated that his plan had failed.
The other Shrek members, seeing Flanders's defeat for the first time, all looked on in anticipation.
Just now, when Flanders had attempted to register the Shrek team for the group soul battle, he was told no.
Because Xuan Mo, Ma Hongjun, and Tang San were Gold Souls, the Shrek team had been registered as a Soul Master-level Gold Soul Battle Team, making it impossible for them to be matched with opponents at the Silves Grand Soul Battle Arena.
"It's not that there's no other way. We'd have to challenge opponents of higher levels, because those higher levels aren't restricted by Soul Badge levels," the staff member thought for a moment before replying, "But challenging opponents of higher levels would be very dangerous. That means you'd be challenging a Soul Master-level team."
Flanders was taken aback by this and immediately shook his head. "Forget it, then."
While he was greedy, he wouldn't jeopardize the safety of his students. After all, challenging opponents of higher levels was too dangerous.
"Yes, I think so!"
The Master suddenly said, "By the way, we should be able to choose our own fighting spirit teams, right?"
"Of course," the staff member replied, slightly taken aback.
"Okay, then assign us the most ferocious opponent, preferably one that consistently kills and injures its opponents. The higher the kill ratio, the better."
"Huh?" At this moment, the staff, all well-trained, stared at the Master in shock. Some even wondered if he was deliberately sending people to their deaths.
Meanwhile, "Yu Xiaogang! Are you crazy? A cross-level battle, and against the most ferocious team, and you're sending these kids to their deaths!"
Flanders grabbed the Master's shoulders and roared.
Even the other Shrek members were baffled.
The Master waved Flanders off, then glanced at the staff member nearby. "Is there such a thing?"
The staff member, though surprised by the Master's request, didn't hesitate. He pulled out a document and whispered, "There is indeed a team called the Fierce God."
"It's almost certain to result in fatalities!" The staff member lowered his voice.
Hearing this, the other seven students, except Xuan Mo, felt a chill run down their spines.
The master nodded with satisfaction. "Alright, then, let's challenge the Fierce God Team."
Seeing the master's seriousness, the other teachers immediately stepped forward to stop him. But after the master's explanation, they finally understood and their worries faded.
Flanders sighed and ultimately said nothing.
The other teachers, all experienced veterans, naturally understood that this was a turning point for the Shrek team.
They arrived in the lounge.
"Xiaogang, our Shrek team has eight members. Who are you going to arrange to stay?"
Flanders looked at the master, clearly eager to see how he would arrange the players.
The master looked at everyone, finally settling on the calm Xuan Mo.
"I'm going to let Xuan Mo stay."
"What!"
Before the teachers could even say a word, the Shrek students were the first to cry out in surprise.
"Master, why isn't Brother Mo playing?!"
Ning Rongrong was the first to speak up.
"Yes, Master! If Brother Mo doesn't play, we won't be able to use our spirit fusion techniques. How can we possibly win?"
Ma Hongjun said, and the other Shrek students all turned their gazes to the Master.
Clearly, they believed that only after Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, and Xuan Mo each used their spirit fusion techniques could they have a clear chance of victory.
"Don't worry. Just listen to Xiaosan. Didn't Xiaosan craft a Zhuge Divine Crossbow for each of you? Since it can kill the Human-Faced Demon Spider, you can use it against the Fierce God Team."
After all, the Master's goal was simply to make the Shrek students experience the act of killing.
Everyone's eyes lit up at this.
After all, having experienced the Star Dou Great Forest, they were well aware of the power of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow.
By the time Dai Mubai and the others left to prepare, only the teachers and Xuan Mo were left in the lounge.
"Xuan Mo, do you know what I'm asking you to do?"
Xuan Mo hadn't expected the Master to ask this question, and was slightly taken aback, but he answered truthfully.
"It's murder."
"Well, I know you've had two years of training, so I want to ask you, have you ever killed someone before?"
The master looked at Xuan Mo, not at all surprised that he guessed this.
But he continued to ask. Obviously, if Xuan Mo hadn't committed murder before, he wouldn't let him go.
Xuan Mo scratched his head. He and Ma Hongjun had certainly experienced murder when they were traveling.
After all, two children out there were bound to be targeted by those with ulterior motives, and they had encountered many murders, arson, and robbery.
Xuan Mo naturally wouldn't let this go.
The master, satisfied with the answer, said nothing further, simply instructing Xuan Mo to counsel the others after they left the ring.
Seeing Flanders and the others heading straight for the spectator booth, Xuan Mo raised his lip and headed towards the gambling area...
"Hello, I'm betting on Shrek to win the Shrek vs. Fierce God match later."
Arriving at the counter, Xuan Mo staked his entire fortune, saying, "I'm betting 100,000 gold soul coins."
"What? Who? How much?" the staff member paused, then quickly pressed.
After all, he knew the difference in spirits in this fight. The odds on Shrek were already incredibly high, at 10 to 1, and even higher. No one had ever been able to win.
"Shrek, 100,000 gold soul coins," Xuan Mo repeated, then waved the staff member to hurry.
At Xuan Mo's words, the people preparing to place their bets began to chatter.
"They're betting so big! They're definitely going to lose big this time."
"Yeah, I heard Shrek is only at Soul Master level. But the Fierce God Team is made up entirely of Soul Sect members."
"This guy must be so rich he's just being willful..."
Several people nearby even looked at Xuan Mo like he was stupid.
But Xuan Mo ignored them. What surprised him was that besides him, another older man had also bet on the Shrek team, and he was betting quite a bit.
This made Xuan Mo wonder for a moment if this older man had also traveled through time.
After watching the older man leave, Xuan Mo headed towards the exit gate of the Soul Fighting Arena...
At the same time...
"Fire!"
Seven Zhuge Divine Crossbows unleashed a total of 112 arrows from the Soul Fighting Arena. These arrows pierced the air and pierced the bodies of the Fierce God Team.
In an instant, the Fierce God Team was annihilated.
...
Xuan Mo stood by the gate, looking at the devastated Shrek team, and immediately rushed over to meet them. He then immediately supported Ning Rongrong.
Ning Rongrong could no longer control herself. She collapsed completely, slumping against Xuan Mo's right side, muttering, "We killed someone..."
It was clear that Tang San, Ma Hongjun, and Dai Mubai all looked pale, except for a few who looked slightly better.
Seeing this, Xuan Mo silently said, "Those who kill will be killed. Don't feel burdened."
But just as he finished speaking, "Ugh!"
Ning Rongrong vomited all her dinner, covering Xuan Mo's body and causing his face to darken.
