As such, all of the remaining Battle Gods were determined to turn the tables, but at the same time, they were all under immense pressure.

They did have the equivalent of two Limit Douluos among their ranks, but they were up against the miracle-worker that was the Tang Sect Master.

The most terrifying thing about him was the rate of his progression. Xu Lizhi had already displayed a full suit of four-word battle armor; who was to say that Tang Wulin wouldn't also have a full suit of four-word battle armor? He wasn't far away from the Limit Douluo level; if he were also a four-word battle armor master, then there was a chance that he would be a match for Guan Yue.

Tang Wulin's crushing victory over Qiangu Zhangting had left all of the Battle Gods with extremely deep impressions, and none of them knew where Tang Wulin's limits were, nor how much he had improved since that battle.

Thus, even though the Battle God Hall held the theoretical advantage during this five-on-five battle, none of the Battle Gods dared to take the Shrek Academy camp lightly.

Finally, the platform drew to a halt, and one of the walls opened up, following which Guan Yue led everyone into a spacious hall.

The surrounding area was riddled with complex soul circuits that were emanating faint red light, making one feel as if they were inside a human body that was filled with blood vessels.

Guan Yue drew to a halt as he reached the center of the hall, then pressed his right hand forward, and the surrounding soul formation immediately lit up as a beam of red light shone down from above, forming a ball of light that was around half a meter in diameter in front of Guan Yue.

Guan Yue laid his hand onto the ball of light as his eyes narrowed slightly, and a beam of light suddenly projected into mid-air, transforming into a square light screen, upon which a map was depicted.

"This small world is known as the Battle God Arena. It's not very large, with an area of only around five square kilometers, but you can rest assured in the knowledge that it's very stable. As you can see from the map, there are two clearly segmented sides in this small world, and this place is normally used for training for us Battle Gods,

" Guan Yue introduced.

Just as he had said, there was what appeared to be a river running from the upper left corner to the bottom right corner of the map, splitting the area up into two triangles.

One of the triangles had red annotations, while the other was annotated in blue, making the divide very clear, and there was a round symbol situated both the upper right corner and the bottom left corner, indicating the top corner of each of the two areas.

Guan Yue continued,

"This small world was created by our Battle God Hall, and every single place within it was custom-made. In order to ensure safety, the state of the two areas are very similar. There will be some simulated soul beasts of similar power levels in both areas, and each area will have a 100,000-year-old soul beast that'll attack as soon as its territory is encroached upon. If you manage to kill that soul beast, you'll receive an overall boost, such as an increase in soul power by 10%. The boost is completely random, so I can't tell you what it is in advance.

Once we enter the small world, each of our two camps will appear at one of the top corners, which are the starting points. Within each starting point is a defensive turret that is powerful enough to pose a threat to Titled Douluo level three-word battle armor masters, and it'll only attack members of the opposing camp. Setting off from the starting point, there are three paths, one on each side of the map, and one through the center, through which the opposing camp's territory can be accessed. Of course, you can also pass through the forests and valleys on the map, but that'll require a longer journey.

"Furthermore, there are only three paths leading to the entrance of each starting point, so those are the only three avenues to reach the opposing camp's starting point. The objective is to destroy the opposing camp's starting point while keeping your own intact.

"

At the conclusion of Guan Yue's explanation, Tang Wulin was left feeling quite stunned.

Shrek Academy had also been able to create a small world of its own, but it would've definitely required several times the expenditure to create a small world like this, which was completely uniform and could fit their criteria. At the very least, Tang Wulin didn't think that the current Shrek Academy would be able to accomplish this.

This was a reflection of the federation's unreserved support toward the Battle God Hall.

Furthermore, this was a very interesting mode of battle that would test both power and intellect.

The Battle Gods were more familiar with the map, and that was a significant advantage, so it was no wonder that Guan Yue was giving them an hour to familiarize themselves with this small world.

"Also, only those three paths are safe from soul beasts; you could get attacked by soul beasts at any time if you choose to take any other path, and the soul beasts in both areas do not discriminate between targets. Even if you kill the soul beasts, they'll be resurrected at the same location in a short time,

" Guan Yue added with a cunning smile.

Tang Wulin took a deep breath, and said,

"Alright, please take us into the small world. Oh, by the way, what types of soul beasts are there in the Battle God Arena? This is something that I'm sure all of the Battle Gods are already aware of, so I believe we have a right to know this.

"

Guan Yue paused momentarily before replying,

"I can't tell you exactly what species of soul beasts are in there as even we don't fully know. For training purposes, the soul beasts that appear in the Battle God Arena are randomly generated. However, what I can tell you is that the two 100,000-year-old soul beasts are simulated based on the Dark Demonic Dragon and the Gold-eyed Black Dragon King, both of which were part of the 10 Great Beasts of the Douluo Continent at some point.

"

Tang Wulin couldn't help but recall back to their encounter with the Beast God in the Great Star Dou Forest upon hearing these two names. That had truly been a perilous experience!

Even though the Beast God hadn't come after him since then, he couldn't help but be wary of a creature that was even more powerful than the likes of Infernal King Douluo Harosha.

"They're not actually as powerful as the Beast God of the past, right?

" Tang Wulin asked.

Guan Yue smiled, and replied,

"Of course not. If the Beast God is still alive, then it would be close to 1,000,000 years of age; even our hall master may not be a match for it, let alone the rest of us. The Gold-eyed Black Dragon King in the Battle God Arena is only at the 100,000-year level.

"

Tang Wulin nodded in response.

"Alright, I understand.

"

Guan Yue continued,

"I'm going to send you into the small world so you can acclimate yourself with its environment, and you'll be notified to go to the starting point in an hour.

"

Guan Yue pointed a finger at the red ball of light before him as he spoke, and an even larger light screen was projected, depicting a lush forest. Immediately thereafter, five beams of light shone down upon Tang Wulin and the others, and they vanished into the ball of red light in a flash.
