Four crisp, firm words were spoken from cherry lips.
Tang Sui's delicate, fair face was filled with seriousness, and upon closer inspection, something else seemed to be brewing in her eyes.
Her Hundred Faces Mask spirit, among the many spirit skins, was her favorite.
This skin, like her now, was fittingly named.
The others also felt it suited Tang Sui perfectly, especially since they didn't know she had other personalities.
Who would have thought that the exquisitely beautiful girl, like a doll, actually had two other different faces?
It was like… Sui Sui's spirit.
At this moment, the thought channels of master and disciple weirdly overlapped.
Both Tang San and the Master’s gazes imperceptibly deepened.
But on the surface, the Master pretended to be relaxed and nodded, approving Tang Sui’s title: “Mm, Hundred Faces Mask is good. Ma Hongjun, I’ve also come up with your title.”
The Master began to tactically shift attention, as expected. Ma Hongjun, who had been brainstorming the meaning of the title, immediately came back to his senses, looking at the Master expectantly: “Master, what is my title?”
“Your title is Evil Fire Phoenix.”
“Why not Nirvana Phoenix?”
As soon as the Master finished speaking, Tang Sui asked in confusion.
This question had lingered in her heart since her previous life.
Ma Hongjun, who had initially thought Evil Fire Phoenix was cool, was stunned for a moment. Then he pondered, *That’s right! Why can’t I be called Nirvana Phoenix? Phoenix Nirvana! It sounds so majestic.*
So he looked at the Master pleadingly.
“This…”
The Master was stumped.
“Ah, although Fatty is the only mutated spirit from their village where everyone has chicken spirits. Golden nests can indeed produce phoenixes, but Fatty now…” Oscar winked as he looked Tang Sui up and down.
Dai Mubai also looked at Ma Hongjun mockingly, “He can’t even control that fiery temper himself right now. Nirvana? It’s only when he can control that evil fire that he’ll be the true Nirvana Phoenix.”
Ma Hongjun glared fiercely at his two brothers and huffed, “Alright, alright, you two shut up! Evil Fire Phoenix it is.”
Xiao Wu raised her hand and said crisply, “Master, what about me? You have to give me a nice title!”
The Master smiled, “I’ve thought of yours too. Xiao Wu, you are most skilled at soft techniques. Your whole body is as soft as boneless, coupled with your rabbit spirit and charm spirit abilities. How about Soft Bone Charm Rabbit?”
“Sounds good,” Xiao Wu’s eyes lit up.
“As for Rongrong, Rongrong’s spirit is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Nothing describes you better than Seven Treasures. At the same time, it can also offer you some concealment. After all, the spirits of the direct disciples of your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School are all this, and it’s most appropriate for Zhu Zhuqing to also be named after her spirit – Netherworld Spirit Cat.”
With the titles decided, the Shrek Eight Devils finally had their own monikers.
Evil Eyed White Tiger Dai Mubai.
Sausage Specialist Oscar.
Thousand Hand Asura Tang San.
Hundred Faces Mask Tang Sui.
Evil Fire Phoenix Ma Hongjun.
Soft Bone Charm Rabbit Xiao Wu.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Ning Rongrong.
Netherworld Spirit Cat Zhu Zhuqing.
…
Night fell, and the Suo Tuo Great Spirit Arena repeated its usual nightly liveliness, with crowds converging from all directions.
Tang San and the others were already familiar with the Great Spirit Arena.
Without the Master’s guidance, Dai Mubai and the others, following the two-on-two pairings they had decided on in the room, led their partners to the registration desk to register their team names for two-on-two duels.
“Sui Sui, what do you think our team name should be?” Xiao Wu asked Tang Sui behind her, as they were nearing their turn.
Tang Sui thought carefully and hesitantly said, “How about Spirit Rabbit Combination? Sister Xiao Wu, your spirit is Jade Rabbit, and mine is Spirit Face. If we take one character from each, this sounds quite nice.”
Xiao Wu exclaimed, “Eh,” and reached out to rub Tang Sui’s soft cheek, “Sui Sui, you’re a genius!”
The other pair behind them heard this and muttered softly, “Only girls would come up with names like that.”
After promptly paying the registration fee for their combination, Xiao Wu and Tang Sui went together to draw their opponents for the night.
Although they had all formed teams, not everyone was participating in two-on-two duels first; some intended to participate in one-on-one duels before moving on to two-on-two.
Flander and Zhao Wuji went to the one-on-one duel area.
The Master, along with Xiao Wu, Tang Sui, Tang San, and Ma Hongjun, went to the two-on-two duel area and sat in the spectator stands to watch Xiao Wu and Tang Sui’s upcoming two-on-two duel.
The duel scene was boisterous, with the spectator stands filled with many ordinary people and low-level spirit masters, but more so ordinary people. For them, the Spirit Arena was a good place to release emotional pressure and place their bets.
The host, who skillfully hyped up the atmosphere with practiced patter, had a brilliant smile on his face. He introduced the situation of the two-on-two duel combinations with a dramatic tone:
“Next, please welcome the opponents of the Spirit Rabbit Combination, another newly formed, equally unknown combination – the Durian Combination!”
Durian?
The unfamiliar name made the tense nerves in Tang Sui’s heart relax slightly. She exchanged a glance with Xiao Wu, who had turned to look at her. The next second, they both spoke simultaneously:
“Durian, does it have a plant-related spirit?” She didn't want to encounter a troublesome control-type spirit master like Little San!
“At this hour, is there still durian sold outside after the duel?” She was a bit craving the sweet durian.
After speaking, Xiao Wu and Tang Sui immediately stared at each other.
