The announcement came quickly; the Shrek squad's sixth match would be held during prime time the day after tomorrow, with their opponent's details temporarily kept secret. The heat around the Shrek squad rose to a peak once again.When Tang San and his team arrived at the Grand Animal Fighting Arena again, they were met with broad smiles on the face of the Bloodthirsty Devil Ape. It respectfully invited them inside the arena. Even the resting room had been upgraded to a luxurious one. The treatment was worlds apart from before.
"About your opponent for this round, you've already received the details yesterday; are you satisfied?" the Bloodthirsty Devil Ape asked.
Wu Bingji nodded, "We're ready."
The Bloodthirsty Devil Ape smiled, "That's good to hear. After this match, our host would like to invite you to dinner. Make sure you do your best."
Wu Bingji smiled slightly, "Then we won't be polite about it."
After saying this, his gaze inadvertently shifted to Tang San.
Everything was as Tang San had anticipated; the opponent for their sixth match was a very strong team, but they were precisely the kind that the Shrek squad could counter. Their specialty was speed and direct offense, not control. And, for a team with strong controlling capabilities like the Shrek squad, this was naturally not a concern.
Tang San conveyed a look to Wu Bingji, who then told the Bloodthirsty Devil Ape, "Based on our analysis, we're fairly confident that we can defeat our opponents within three minutes."
The Bloodthirsty Devil Ape's eyes lit up, "Really? Then let me congratulate you in advance. I'll go and get busy, and come back later to lead you to the arena." With that, it hurried off.
Watching its retreating figure, a faint smile appeared on Tang San's face.
They didn't have to wait long before the Bloodthirsty Devil Ape returned, signaling that the Shrek squad's sixth match was about to officially start.
Wu Bingji remained at the forefront; in the Shrek squad, he was still the most popular to date. His nickname 'Headshot Madman' was already widely known, and the aura that Tang San displayed in the fourth match had once again been overshadowed by Wu Bingji's effortless defeat of their opponents in the fifth.
Of course, the magical array plate of the Shrek squad was also being noticed by more and more people.
The colossal gate slowly opened, and the roaring cheers from outside were deafening. The host's resonant voice echoed throughout the Grand Animal Fighting Arena, "Today, a great battle is about to unfold. The Shrek squad is in trouble today. They are about to face the very powerful Crazy Lightning Team. Those who have seen the Crazy Lightning Team fight know how terrifying they are. Their invincible speed makes it impossible to continuously evade even with a Teleportation Array. So, without talking about the odds for now, I believe this is likely to be a very thrilling and exciting fight. Of course, our Shrek Sniper Team is not to be trifled with either. The previous times when we thought they were about to lose, they ultimately won. I just checked today's betting, and even though only thirty percent is for the Shrek squad's victory, I still believe they can create a miracle once again."
Indeed, although the Shrek squad was currently the hot favorite, the proportion of people who believed the Shrek squad would keep winning was actually very low. The reason was simple: the animosity of humans towards Monsters caused dissatisfaction among the Monster audience, and therefore, most of the Monster audience bet against the Shrek squad.
Of course, as betting on the outcome wasn't common in the Grand Animal Fighting Arena, those who bet on the outcome were still in the minority. Most of the audience placed their bets on time bets during the brief period before the match started; that's what they enjoyed most. The excitement of the time bets greatly stimulated their emotions.
"If the Shrek squad can win again, I believe it will surely be a tough fight. So, I think it's very likely that the winner won't be determined until after ten minutes. So, if you trust me, bet on the Shrek squad to win after ten minutes, safe and sound!" the host declared confidently.
Wu Bingji turned to Tang San and whispered, "Isn't this considered speaking nonsense with utter confidence?"
Tang San shrugged, "The host is there to mislead the audience. It's normal for him to say that; otherwise, we would've just given the Bloodthirsty Devil Ape a tip for nothing, right?"
"Guests who have not yet placed their bets, please hurry and place them. Our match is about to begin."
The host was still shouting loudly, but Tang San and his team had already gotten a clear look at their opponents.
Their five opponents didn't look easy to deal with by their appearance. They were slender, not particularly tall, and their eyes carried a cold ferocity, their wings flapping gently behind them betraying their identity as a flying race.
All five opponents belonged to the same race, the Sky-breaking Falcon Demon, a clan known for their incredibly fast speed and ferocity.
Each of the five Sky-breaking Falcon Demons was of Eighth Stage cultivation base, yes, no Ninth Stage. Moreover, they had only achieved three victories in group battles. From the looks of this match's opponents, it seemed that Tang San's team had finally gained an advantage from the Grand Animal Fighting Arena.
This was also why Wu Bingji had previously expressed satisfaction to the Bloodthirsty Devil Ape.
The sacrifice of three Array Plates had finally allowed them to face opponents that were easier to handle.
After the betting was completed, the group battle soon officially started. Sёarᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Needless to say, the fight was without any suspense. The Sky-breaking Falcon Demon clan was indeed a formidable presence. However, the problem was that, with an overall lower cultivation base, they were facing Misfortune Descending, facing Time Control. When even their own flight speed was uncontrollable under Gu Li's Time Control, the outcome of the fight became obvious.
In less than three minutes, all five Sky-breaking Falcon Demons had been shot dead by Wu Bingji, and the battle was over. Within three minutes, the Shrek squad had won.
The host's voice quickly faded away, steady and sure, truly "steady and sure" indeed!
The Shrek squad had achieved their sixth group battle victory. At this moment, inside the Grand Animal Fighting Arena, most of the sounds were of cursing, with the most being directed at the host.
The Shrek squad of five returned to the Grand Animal Fighting Arena, where the Bloodthirsty Devil Ape had been waiting for them, its smile now even richer as it said respectfully, "Our host is already waiting for you, congratulations on your sixth group battle victory. For humans, this is an unprecedented achievement!"
Wu Bingji nodded slightly, "Please lead the way."
It was the same luxurious room as before, where they met again with the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King Ying Jie. Ying Jie had a warm smile on his face, clapping his hands as he saw them.
"Impressive, really impressive! I watched your match just now, very powerful. Such an astounding victory. Congratulations," said the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King genuinely, at least on the surface.
Wu Bingji responded indifferently, "You're too kind. Today's opponents were indeed easier to deal with." As he spoke, he had already noticed the three Array Plates on the table, in the exact same position as when Tang San had left them, as if they'd never been moved.
"May I know what instructions the host has for us?" asked Wu Bingji.
The Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King smiled faintly and said, "Last time you generously gave up three Array Plates, and I haven't had the chance to thank you. Today you've achieved a swift victory, and of course, I should offer some hospitality as the host. Dinner is ready, please come with me."
