There was hope!
Ye Wuqing had already led Zheng Tian Academy's team toward the resting area. As he passed Shrek Academy's waiting area, he looked at Wang Dong'er, who was walking over with Xiao Xiao beside her, and said, "You're very strong."
"Thank you," Wang Dong'er replied politely.
"Though there were many factors involved, Tang Xiaolei's defeat was no accident. Even without using that move, you could have defeated him, right?"
"That's right." Wang Dong'er smiled. "It seems your judgment is quite sharp."
"Shrek Academy truly produces talented people in abundance," Ye Wuqing said.
"You're wrong." Wang Dong'er shook her head. "It's because geniuses are genius enough that Shrek Academy is called the cradle of geniuses."
"And because I'm strong enough, the name they chant is mine. It isn't that I need Shrek—Shrek needs me." Wang Dong'er swept her gaze across the audience.
Right now, they were all shouting Wang Dong'er's name, going wild over the fact that a Soul Ancestor like her had instantly defeated a Soul King. It was just unclear why, like with Tang Xiaolei, they had omitted the final character. Perhaps it was easier to shout that way, or perhaps they simply had not heard it clearly.
Ye Wuqing nodded. "Indeed. I chose not to enter Shrek Academy back then, yet I can still lead Zheng Tian Academy to its best results. We stopped at the quarterfinals in the previous tournament. This time, though I lost to you, I will still strive for the semifinals, regardless of success or failure."
"Still, I thought everyone from Shrek Academy was the crazy sort. I didn't expect you and your companion to be so different."
As he said this, Ye Wuqing seemed to recall something. "They really were crazy."
It seemed Shrek Academy in the previous Soul Fighting Tournament
