[Previous Episode] San, what is your Fourth Skill?

Show us.

This is my Fourth Skill.

These are your substitute members.

As long as you win every round, none of these will matter.

Only three of you will battle in the preliminary rounds.

Pull yourselves together.

We are here to be the champion!

Even losers want to be a champion?

I will show you who is the real losers here!

[Soul Land] [Episode 68]

Aren't them from the Cang Hui School?

Why are they picking a fight on us?

What do you think you're doing?

The mutts' master is here.

Let's go.

They became the good boys, when their master is here.

All right, Fatty.

That old man taught in Cang Hui School?

Master, do you know that old man?

His name is Shi Nian, soul master of Nightmare and a hateful man.

Nightmare? He uses illusions? How is that Martial Soul ever possible?

His Martial Soul is pestering.

Even much stronger warriors wouldn't choose to pick a fight with him.

It's starting, let's go.

Chief Ning, any thought on the competition this year?

I know a team,

they might win this competition for the empire.

Hello, ladies and gentlemen!

I am your host from the Suo Tuo Soul Arena!

It's a great honour to be your host for the opening ceremony this year!

First of all, let's welcome the 28 teams of the competition this year!

The first to arrive is the Tian Dou Imperial School Second Team!

They are also the embodiment of strength for the Tian Dou Empire!

Their motto for this year

is to "Stop at nothing and go for everything".

I believe all the audiences are feeling confident for their performance.

Victory for Tian Dou! The unbeatable Tian Dou!

Tian Dou Imperial School is actually so popular?

Let's hope we won't go up against them.

Why?

We are strong.

If we beat them to a pulp,

the audiences will drown us with their loathing and spits.

That makes sense.

Up next, we have School of Five Elements!

They are one of the best team we are hoping to see become the champion!

Which of the teams

will come up on top of the preliminary?

This is so exciting!

Right after them is the School of Florals!

The last team that is wearing an odd uniform is the Shrek School!

They registered motto is

"Unrivalled Champions"!

Perhaps they want to leave a mark in history with a novel display!

We look forward to their performance!

She...

Why would anyone wear such a hideous uniform?

They even have a product placement on it.

Are they sponsored by stinky tofu or something?

Boss, we will shut their traps with our strength.

Look at the three over on the first row.

Where? I don't see anything there.

They are so far away. Of course, you can't see a thing.

Up there.

You know those people?

My father is on the right. You met him before, Brother San.

On his left is the Emperor of Tian Dou Empire.

Emperor Xue Ye.

So he is Emperor Xue Ye?

On His majesty's left is the Chief of Martial Soul Temple of Tian Dou.

He is one of the four Platinum Chiefs, Chief Salas.

He is not a good man.

His Majesty of Tian Dou Empire

will officiate the competition!

I, Emperor Xue Ye of Tian Dou Empire, on behalf of my empire,

and on behalf of the organizer of this competition, announce that

Continental Soul Master School Elite Tournament

now begins!

[Soul Land]

At this moment,

I hope that all soul masters taking part in this event

will display their full strengths

and acquire great achievements.

You are all bringing glory to the Tian Dou Empire.

Let's welcome the Chief of Qibao Amber tribe to give his speech!

I am honored to be the special guest for the opening ceremony.

I've seen far too many rise and fall of soul masters.

Only experience and training will help you grow.

Just as His Majesty said,

you shall bring glory to the Empire.

And tomorrow, the Empire will be proud of you all.

Chief Ning, as the most powerful Supporting Branch soul master,

are you putting your expectation on any team?

I do expect one team to become the champion.

Which of the team will get Chief Ning's approval?

I shall keep it a secret for the time being.

But the victory shall belong to the Empire nonetheless!

Sadly, we couldn't find out which team has the favor of Chief Ning.

Up next,

let's welcome the notary for our competition.

Platinum Chief of Martial Soul Temple, Chief Salas!

Everyone, the exciting battles will soon begin!

Which team are you going to give this flower to?

Tian Dou Imperial School, of course.

They are the pride of Tian Dou Empire.

Master, why do all the audiences get a blue flower?

This is the most common flower found in Tian Dou Empire,

but it represents the true and deep love we have.

People present the flowers to the schools they support.

As for how you present it, you'll find out soon.

Welcome to Tian Dou Soul Arena!

Lord Salas will draw the lot for the first preliminary round.

Round one,

Cang Hui School versus Zi Xing School!

Round two,

Auckland School versus the Fiery Light School!

Shrek School versus

Tian Dou Imperial School!

Shrek School?

The team with the funky uniform.

Tian Dou Team is hit with good luck this time.

Is this rigged?

No way this is luck.

This can't be a coincidence.

Tian Dou Imperial School Second Team.

They are the second team,

but they are from Tian Dou Imperial School after all.

I doubt they are weak in any way.

Master.

Since you have the confidence,

I will give you another challenge.

Secure victory within one minute.

One minute? Impossible!

Brother San, let me do it.

No, we follow the original plan.

We can't show your true strength yet.

Fine.

Junior, don't worry about it.

Without further a due,

Continental Soul Master School Elite Tournament

will begin its first-round battle!

Both teams, please get on the stage.

Rong Rong, the flower!

Look! It's Brother San.

They are here.

What school is that?

Someone is actually cheering for them.

-Shrek School, fighting! -I have no idea.

Maybe they are nothing more than vermin.

Great! Fighting!

Up next is the main show for tonight.

the team we've all been waiting for, Tian Dou Imperial School Second Team!

Old Man Bai, this is more grandeur than in previous years.

Why do they get to go on stage and show off?

Why can't our school get the same privilege?

It's better. We don't have to show our trump card.

But that means

our revenue from advertisements will lose!

Shrek School, fighting!

Shrek Seven Devils, go for it!

They are clearly using us as sidekicks,

so their good boys get to stand out more.

Wait, there are only six members.

Soul of Tian Dou Empire, glory throughout the land!

The Imperial School will steal the show!

San, you are in charge of planning.

Members that will go on are

Mu Bai, Wu, Jing Ling, Huang Yuan, Jiang Zhu, Tai Long, and me.

We will proceed with plan A.

We must defeat them within one minute.

Yes, one minute.

[Next Episode] Hello, kids from Shrek School.

If I could marry your daughter,

I will join the Qibao Amber tribe now.

If she is willing to do so, I have no objection.

I admire the prowess of Qibao Amber tribe.

Do I have the honour to join your cause?

Bronze Ring Confine!

They are killing people!

You fell for it.

This match is rigged!
