Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 329: Easy Victory

Chapter 329: Easy Victory

The date was quickly announced. The Shrek Squad's sixth match would take place in two days, during evening prime time, with their opponents' details temporarily kept secret. The Shrek Squad's popularity soared to new heights.

When Tang San and his team arrived at the Great Beast Fighting Arena again, they were greeted by the same old Bloodthirsty Demon Ape, who was now wearing a broad smile. It respectfully escorted them into the arena. Even their waiting room had been upgraded to a luxurious lounge. The treatment was worlds apart compared to before.

"You received the information yesterday regarding your opponents for this round. Are you satisfied?" the Bloodthirsty Demon Ape asked.

Wu Bingji nodded and said, "We are ready."

The Bloodthirsty Demon Ape smiled. "That's good. After this match, our arena master would like to invite you to dinner, so do your best."

Wu Bingji also smiled in response. "Then we won't hold back."

After saying this, he glanced at Tang San subconsciously.

Everything was as Tang San had predicted. Their opponents for the sixth match seemed to be a very strong team, but they were just the type that the Shrek Squad could counter. The opponents excelled in speed and frontal attacks but were not good at control. For the Shrek Squad, which excelled at control, this was not a significant challenge.

Tang San looked at Wu Bingji, and Wu Bingji said to the Bloodthirsty Demon Ape, "According to our analysis, we are confident that we can defeat our opponents within three minutes."

The Bloodthirsty Demon Ape's eyes lit up. "Really? Then I must congratulate you in advance. I'll get busy and come back to escort you to the arena shortly."

With that, he hurried away.

Watching him leave, a faint smile appeared on Tang San's face.

It wasn't long before the Bloodthirsty Demon Ape returned. The sixth match for the Shrek Squad was about to begin.

Wu Bingji still walked at the front. Among the Shrek Squad, he remained the most popular. His nickname, "Headshot Maniac," was already famous. The spotlight Tang San had gained in the fourth match had been overshadowed again by Wu Bingji's solo victory in the fifth.

Of course, the miraculous array discs of the Shrek Squad was also attracting increasing attention.

The massive gates slowly opened, and the deafening cheers from outside roared like a tidal wave. The host's enthusiastic voice echoed through the Great Beast Fighting Arena, "Today, a great battle is about to unfold, and it seems like the Shrek Squad is in trouble! They will face the incredibly powerful Manic Lightning Squad! Those who have seen the Manic Lightning Squad fight know how terrifying they are. Their unbeatable speed means that even a teleportation array can’t help their opponents too much. So, regardless of the outcome, I expect this fight to be fast, intense, and absolutely damn thrilling! Of course, our Shrek Headshot Squad is not to be underestimated! We all thought they’d kick the bucket, and yet here they are, alive and kicking! I checked the bets for today's match, and although only thirty percent bet on the Shrek Squad's victory, I hope we’ll see another miracle!"

Indeed, although the Shrek Squad was now a hot team, the proportion of people betting on their continued victory was surprisingly low. The reason was simple: the unity among humans provoked dissatisfaction among the demon spectators, who almost unanimously bet on the Shrek Squad losing.

Of course, since win-loss betting was not the standard in these cases, those bets were in the minority. Most spectators placed time bets in the brief period before the match started. The excitement of time betting significantly heightened their emotions.

"Well, in any case, even if the Shrek Squad can win again, I believe this match will be tough. Actually, I think it’ll take more than ten minutes. So, if you trust me, bet on more than ten minutes and the Shrek Squad's victory. It's a sure thing!" the host declared confidently.

Wu Bingji turned his head and whispered to Tang San, "What’s he blabbering about?"

Tang San shrugged. "I don’t know what you expected. The host is here to mislead the audience, it's normal for him to say that. Otherwise, there would’ve been no point giving hints to that monkey."

"VIPs who haven't placed their bets, hurry up! Our match is about to start."

The host was still shouting, but by this time, Tang San and his team had already seen their opponents.

Their five opponents today did not look easy to deal with. They were slender, not particularly tall, with a cold look in their eyes. Their wings fluttered lightly behind them, clearly indicating that they were flying demons.

All five opponents were from the same clan, the Sky Rift Falcons, known for their incredible speed and ferocity. They were all at the eighth order—no ninth-order among them. Moreover, they had only won three team battles thus far. In other words, Tang San and his team had finally received a favorable match-up from the arena.

This was why Wu Bingji had expressed satisfaction to the Bloodthirsty Demon Ape earlier.

The cost of three array discs had finally earned them a manageable opponent.

Bets were placed, and soon, the team battle officially began.

The battle naturally had no suspense. The Sky Rift Falcons were formidable, but the problem was that time and luck were against them. When they couldn't even control their own flying speed under the effects of Gu Li's abilities, the battle's outcome was obvious.

In less than three minutes, Wu Bingji skewered the five Sky Rift Falcons, ending the battle.

This finally made the host shut up. Indeed, just like he had hoped, a "miracle" had happened in the arena.

With this, the Shrek Squad secured their sixth team battle victory. Besides the customary cheers from the human bettors, the arena was filled mostly with cursing, most of it directed at the host.

When the five members of the Shrek Squad returned to the arena, the Bloodthirsty Demon Ape was already waiting for them, his smile even more pronounced. He respectfully said, "Our arena master is waiting for you. Congratulations on your sixth victory. This is an unprecedented achievement for humans!"

Wu Bingji nodded slightly. "Please lead the way."

It was the same luxurious room as last time. They once again met with the Aetherhorn Deer Demon King, Ying Jie. He had his usual warm smile on his face, and he clapped his hands upon seeing them.

"Impressive, truly impressive! I watched your match just now. You were powerful. It was an amazing victory. Congratulations."

At least on the surface, the Aetherhorn Deer Demon King seemed sincere.

Wu Bingji replied calmly, "You're too kind. Today's opponents were rather easy to deal with."

As he spoke, he noticed the three array discs on the desk. They were in the same positions as when Tang San had placed them there, seemingly untouched.

"I wonder what instructions you have for us, Arena Master?" Wu Bingji asked.

The Aetherhorn Deer Demon King smiled and said, "Last time, you generously handed over the three array discs, and I haven't had a chance to thank you. Today, you achieved another swift victory, so I must extend my hospitality. Dinner is ready. Please follow me."
