Chapter 626 - Monsters Make History (1/2)

“As young as they were, their unwavering determination to fight for the honor of Shrek Academy got them through unimaginable challenges,” said Elder Cai. “Their relentless efforts paid off when they finally took the champions.h.i.+p. Then, as a reward, the academy made them that generation's Shrek Seven Monsters.” She paused a moment and asked, “What's our school's motto?”

“Shrek Academy only raises monsters,” Wu Zhangkong answered.

“And monsters make history,” said Elder Cai.

Wu Zhangkong's eyes widened. Now he understood.

Elder Cai stood up and went to the window to look down at the stages below. “Their opponents are indeed surprisingly strong, but then again, what's a better way to reach your full potential than fighting with a worthy opponent? If they can secure a champions.h.i.+p in the tournament, I'll nominate them for this generation's Shrek Seven Monsters.”

Hearing this, even Wu Zhangkong couldn't keep his calm. “But the rule says only inner court students…”

Elder Cai smiled. “You don't really think they are here on an exchange trip, do you? They will be qualified for the inner court when they get back. This generation's Shrek Seven Monsters has been up in the air for too long. The Pavilion Master is waiting for history-making candidates. Now is their chance. How far they can go is up to them. Their potential outweighs the results of the tournament.”

Tang Wulin stepped onto the stage slowly, his attention more focused with every step he took. Pressure could always stimulate the latent power of his body.

Su Mu was dressed in his red uniform, standing far away from Tang Wulin, his hair hanging loose behind his head. He looked relaxed and suave for his age.

Then a serious look dawned on his face when he saw Tang Wulin.

They eyed each other warily.

The fact that Tang Wulin was a delegate and that he had defeated a one-word battle armor master the other day made Su Mu take him seriously.

The judge walked to the center of the stage, didn't bother with the rules – since they had been explained in the first round – and raised his right hand. “Get ready… Begin!” he declared, stealing a compa.s.sionate glance at Tang Wulin. He felt anyone fighting Monster Academy in the preliminaries deserved his compa.s.sion.

Tang Wulin's eyes shone with a golden light right away. He stomped the ground with his left foot and shot forward.

Su Mu's lips curved in a faint smile. Five soul rings appeared around him, all of them purple. He didn't have any ten-thousand-year soul rings, but still, Tang Wulin could sense he was very strong.

Su Mu's hair turned white in an instant, his ears growing larger and pointier. More amazingly, five long tails appeared, white and fluffy. Each one was longer than he was tall, and the tips of his hairs were faintly bluish-gray.

Then his five purple rings flowed down to his tails, with each one around one tail, dying them a magnificent purple.

He put his arms to the sides slowly. His left-most tail moved slightly, and a white ring of light appeared. As the ring sped towards Tang Wulin, it grew bigger and bigger. When it reached him, it was already over 15 meters in diameter.
