Long Yue and the others want to challenge us? Theyre our old friends whom we havent 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 cant 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, itll 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.

Theres 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. Were 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. Its been a long time since Ive 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, were all grown up now. The time for revenge has come. Last time, it was big brother and Gu Yue who fended them off. Its time for us to show them that were 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 Academys 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 whos slightly weaker, but hes still a seven-ring Soul Saint. Since theyre the Tang Sects disciples, Im aware of their ranks. Among the younger generation, theyre at the pinnacle in the Star Luo Empire. Its best not to let your guard down. If you guys lose this match, it may affect the Sect Masters Battle of Five Gods.

Theres no need for you to worry, Your Excellency. We know what were doing. Ye Xinglan stood up. The instant she stood up, a billowy Swords Consciousness burst forth from her body. In the next instant, the Swords 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 Academys Heavenly Kings Clan stood at the pinnacle of the Star Luo Empires 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 Douluos smile brightened. Indeed, he was filled with anticipation for this match. It was the Tang Sects 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 Wulins 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.

Im sorry, Hall Master. I cant make the decision on this one. However, I think that well 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, Im 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, Im not sure about the others, but the Sect Masters strength cant be judged by his age.

Hua Lantang said shockingly, Dont tell me that the Sect Master defeated you during your sparring session the other day?

Hu Jie shook his head. He didnt on that day. After all, hes only in his twenties. However, theres a price to pay, even for me, if I want to defeat him. I wont be able to come out unscathed. It appears that the Sect Master doesnt 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, Ill talk this over with the others.

Hu Jie replied, Dont give them the wrong idea. Its not that the Shrek Seven Monsters are looking down on you guys. Its a fact that our Sect Master wont be available for any matches for the time being. Its 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. Its a good thing for you youngsters to spar as much as you can. Itll 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 hairs 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, wed win without much honor. Theyre short of one member.

Dai Yueyan said, How about this? Captain, you shouldnt join this match. Well fight them, six against six. Tang Wulin indeed has his reasons for being unable to participate. Well 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 Wulins non-participation. In this way, the competition would be fair.

With this, the Tang Sects internal sparring session was set. It would be held the next morning.

Previously, Tang Wulins 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.
