"Alright!" Ning Rongrong and the others nodded.
Dai Mubai and the rest waited in anticipation. Suddenly, Mad Rhino bowed deeply — and woke up.
Mad Rhino glanced left and right, then lifted his head.
"Why the hell am I kneeling on the ground? What just happened?"
"Captain, are you out of your mind?"The seductive girl stared at her team leader, Mad Rhino, speechless.
"I... I went nuts?"Mad Rhino was utterly confused."I actually knelt before them?"
"Yeah! Not only did you kneel, you even apologized!"The other team members chimed in, just as baffled.
"Uhh…"Mad Rhino was completely out of it."How the hell did that happen? Anyway, let's continue the match."
"Fine!" the seductive woman nodded. "We're gonna win back all the dignity we just lost."
"Yeah!" the others also nodded in agreement.
"Heh… throwing an egg at a rock!"Dai Mubai sneered."You guys don't even know how terrifying our Boss Zhang Fan is!"
"Exactly!" Ma Hongjun immediately chimed in with some brown-nosing.
The seductive woman didn't understand why Mad Rhino had gone off the rails, but she knew one thing — they couldn't afford to lose. If they did, their winning streak would vanish like smoke.
They had to go all out. This match was do-or-die.
"Ding! Mission triggered: Modify plot."
[The seductive woman suddenly opens her mouth and sprays a spiderweb toward them.] ← Editable.
Zhang Fan focused his mind and changed "spiderweb" to "poison" and "them" to "her teammates."
The seductive woman opened her mouth wide and — PUH! — sprayed a stream of green poison that suddenly veered off course and splashed all over her own teammates.
"Uhh…"Her eyes bulged, completely frozen.
"What the hell?! I was supposed to spray a web — why did I shoot poison?! And why the hell did I hit my own team?!"
She looked totally stunned."Am I dreaming right now?"
"Aaaahhhh—!"Screams erupted. Her teammates were hit by the poison and were all shrieking in pain.
"What the hell are you doing?!"Mad Rhino roared."Why would you attack your own teammates?!"
"I don't know!!"The seductive woman was completely dumbfounded."Are you guys okay?"
"It's fine, just some minor burns!"Mad Rhino shook his head.
"Alright then…"She nodded awkwardly.
"What the hell is this Crazy War Team doing now?"
"First they kneel and apologize, now they're spraying poison on each other?"
"Haha! They've completely lost it!"
"Whoosh—"
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing suddenly lunged forward.
Xiao Wu activated Lightning Dance, vanishing with a whoosh and delivering a brutal flying kick.
Zhu Zhuqing unleashed her Nether Slash and vanished on the spot.
"Clang!"
Five streaks of dark-purple claw blades shot out — all cloaked in invisibility.
Zhang Fan, meanwhile, raised his Heaven Mourning Sword and—
"Clang—"Swung it forward.
"Whoosh whoosh—"A streak of silver sword light exploded in the air, dominating the battlefield.
He wasn't in the mood to waste time.While they were infighting, he'd end this.
"WOMMM—"The sword light was blinding, dazzling the crowd.
"Ah— Dodge!"Mad Rhino roared, but it was too late. He was slashed by the sword light and sent flying.
"Nooo—!"The seductive woman screamed as she too was blasted into the air.
"Ugh…"The entire scene was jaw-droppingly epic.
"Holy crap, this guy didn't even use his spirit rings — just raw secret techniques and he's this strong?!"
"Insane!"
The crowd was absolutely stunned by the brilliant sword light.
"AHHH—!"The Crazy War Team members were blasted offstage one by one.
They lost.And they lost hard.They hadn't even touched a hair on the Shrek team's heads before getting wiped out.
"Whoa… Captain is seriously so cool!"Xiao Wu was speechless. She had just kicked one opponent, Zhu Zhuqing had slashed another, and Zhang Fan had soloed the rest with a single swing.
It was a spectacle.
"Freakin' beast!"Dai Mubai gave Zhang Fan a massive thumbs-up.
"Captain is god-tier!" Ma Hongjun added.
The three beauties also walked over and surrounded Zhang Fan like fans around a rockstar.
"Uhh…"Even Director Ao was stunned silent. He hadn't expected two bizarre incidents on one stage.
Then Shrek Team crushed the Crazy War Team with overwhelming force.
His jaw practically hit the floor.
He never imagined the Shrek team would win this fast and this decisively.
"Alright, I hereby declare Shrek Team the winner!"As Director Ao made the announcement, the crowd erupted.
Some cursed the Crazy War Team for going off the rails.
Others accused Shrek of using underhanded tricks — otherwise, how could the Crazy War Team have gone berserk?
But Zhang Fan and his gang couldn't care less.
"What's your name?"The seductive woman suddenly asked seriously.
"Shrek Captain — Sword Immortal."Zhang Fan replied calmly, then walked off with his team.
"Brothers and sisters! I'm so hyped about this win! Drinks are on me tonight!"Dai Mubai cheered.
"Hell yeah!"Ma Hongjun and Oscar were thrilled.
They registered their points, collected rewards, and left the Soto Great Spirit Arena.
Back at the hotel...
"You all did amazing today!"Flender walked up and praised them."Especially Zhang Fan — cool as hell! Turned the tide like a boss!"
Tang San, off to the side, was practically dying of envy.So much chaos happened on that stage… if he had gone up, he would've turned the tide too.I mean, Crazy War Team was practically handing out the win.
Yu Xiaogang's face was dark. Zhang Fan had completely stolen the spotlight.
"Xiaogang, did you notice?"Flender clapped his shoulder."With Zhang Fan in charge, our team doesn't go crazy — the enemy does!"
"Maybe that's the real key. Stop trying to be his teacher. Just be his friend. Maybe you and Tang San can stop flipping out all the time."
"…That actually makes sense."Yu Xiaogang nodded."Zhang Fan, we're friends from now on!" he said, in an unnaturally cute voice.
"Guess we're friends too!"Tang San smiled and stood in front of Zhang Fan.
"You can keep thinking that."Zhang Fan smirked."Let's go eat, rest for a day, and come back the day after."
"Got it!"Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar all nodded.
Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong also followed Zhang Fan to a restaurant.
"Order whatever you want."Zhang Fan sat at the head of the table. The three girls gathered around him.
After eating and drinking, they all headed off to rest.
Then… the battles continued.
In one month of team battle soul fights, Shrek had racked up 27 wins.
Zhang Fan had won all his 1v1, 2v2, and 7v7 matches — his points were the highest.
