Yu Xiaogang: Oh No, They're Coming for Me!
Meanwhile, at the Shrek Academy...
Yu Xiaogang was also explaining the competition rules to the Shrek Seven Devils, and providing detailed supplements and explanations for some less common rules.
"Especially for the Little San, you absolutely cannot use your Hidden Weapons at the conference, no matter how unhappy you are, you must remain restrained."
"Once Hidden Weapons are used, everyone will be implicated."
Tang San nodded emphatically. "Don't worry, teacher, I know what I'm doing and won't harm anyone."
Yu Xiaogang continued, "Regarding the Preliminary Round, everyone must remember that our goal is simply to advance. Beyond that, we cannot reveal too many of our trump cards."
"The Heaven Dou Empire division has five qualifying spots, which means we can essentially skip four matches."
"Not long ago, there were rumors that Godwind Academy and Blazing Academy had merged into one Battle Team, effectively reducing the number of the Five Element Academies by one, leaving four."
Yu Xiaogang had to admit that, besides the five established Academy Battle Team, Seven Treasures Academy had the highest chance of advancing.
Therefore, their goal is to choose one of these five Battle Team to defeat.
"Elephant Armor Academy or Skywater Academy are both fine; we just need to defeat one of them."
Skywater Academy's unassuming and unassuming nature makes it prone to being overlooked.
At this point, apart from a few sister academies that are on good terms with the Skywater Academy and know about Shui Bing'er's improved strength, the other Battle Team know nothing about them.
Tang San was also unaware of the situation, so he analyzed, "Relatively speaking, Skywater Academy is easier to defeat. Teacher, let's wait until after the Opening Ceremony tomorrow and see the schedule. In short, we don't need to rush."
"As for the Seven Treasures Academy."
Yu Xiaogang interrupted, "Little San, don't fight them before the Finals!"
Although Yu Xiaogang is overconfident, he is not a fool.
The Seven Treasures Team is riding high, so it's crucial to avoid their sharp edge to prevent revealing all their cards.
Tang San didn't express his opinion, but it was clear that he was considering challenging the Seven Treasures Team again.
After finishing their business, Dai Mubai said with a helpless expression, "Grandmaster, could you talk to the Dean and ask him to give us a new set of school uniforms? These are just too ugly!"
His words immediately resonated with everyone.
Yu Xiaogang didn't seem to care much about it, saying, "You can talk to Flender about this yourselves."
The next day.
The renovated Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena is the main venue for this Preliminary Round of the Heaven Dou Division.
Early this morning, many city residents, Soul Master from other places, and nobles gathered on both sides of the road leading to the arena, eager to witness the prowess of the young Soul Master up close.
The order of entry for each Battle Team had been communicated to them by the organizers beforehand.
As the favorite to win this This Tournament, the Seven Treasures Team has the dual support of the Imperial Family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
In the Douluo Continent, there's no concept of a grand finale; the earlier something appears, the more attention it receives.
Therefore, they were the first to take the stage.
The Seven Treasures Team, including its Substitute Player, has a total of eleven members.
Wu Qi walked in front, with the crowd lined up behind him, forming an imposing formation.
"Look, that's the Seven Treasures Academy Team."
As soon as one person spoke, countless eyes turned to them.
Having trained in the Great Soul Arena, the audience's gaze did not make them nervous.
Furthermore, Qiangu Changkong and others actively interacted with the onlookers.
Seeing everyone getting carried away, Wu Qi couldn't help but remind them, "Don't waste time, we need to get in as soon as possible."
Following them, the second team to enter was the Tiandou Royal Academy Team.
The other side had already caught up behind them; if they didn't speed up, they would inevitably slow down the Opening Ceremony.
In contrast to the confidence of the Seven Treasures Team, the Shrek Team covered their faces with their hands, as if afraid of being recognized.
They were placed at the very end of the entrance line, which shows how unwelcome they were.
What's meant to happen will happen; the locals recognized them immediately.
"Hey, isn't this the Shrek Academy Team?"
"Are you sure it's Shrek and not Shit Visitor? Is that shit-green school uniform for real?"
Being ridiculed, the Shrek Seven Devils and Tailong gritted their teeth in anger.
Tang San snorted coldly, "Don't let this affect your mindset, everyone. Hmph, once we're on the field, everything will be decided by strength."
On the other side, the Seven Treasures Team Members climbed the steps in front of the arena and, guided by the Staff, entered the main venue.
After passing through the long Competitor Tunnel, the Opening Ceremony venue, packed with people, came into view.
The Master of Ceremonies announced in a clear voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, approaching us is the Seven Treasures Academy Team."
"I don't need to say more, everyone should understand the significance of being the first to appear."
"Seven Treasures Academy was newly established last year."
The Master of Ceremonies's job is to explain the situation of each Battle Team and their past achievements.
Based on the length of the introductions, the audience gained a certain understanding of the strength of each Battle Team.
"The motto of the Seven Treasures Academy Team is, 'There are no useless Soul Master, only useless Martial Soul,' which is truly an eye-opening slogan. We look forward to them winning the championship for the Empire!"
After he finished speaking, the audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.
This strange slogan has sparked much discussion among viewers.
"This year's Seven Treasures Team is indeed very strong; I doubt anyone can beat them in the Preliminary Round. This slogan is probably just a way to avoid discouraging their opponents."
After all, one 'Martial Soul spirit is predetermined and difficult to change later in life. In a way, this can be seen as an affirmation of the opponent's hard work and training, and it's also very down-to-earth.
There are many other speculations, and some people think that this is an arrogant display by the Seven Treasures Team.
However, most people still agree with the above viewpoint.
After all, a good Martial Soul is crucial for Soul Master's cultivation.
As for this slogan, it was of course Wu Qi who came up with it.
The participating teams had to have a slogan, but using those inspirational, outdated slogans was meaningless, so we simply used this one.
Of course, this statement might not mean anything to others, but for Yu Xiaogang, it was extremely damaging.
Wu Qi and Yu Xiaogang, along with the rest of the Shrek Academy members, are destined to be enemies, so there's no need to be polite to them.
At the Opening Ceremony of the competition, the teachers will not appear on stage with the Battle Team members, but will arrive at the venue in advance.
Hearing the slogan of the Seven Treasures Team, Yu Xiaogang's face turned extremely cold.
He proposed the theory that there are no useless Martial Soul, only useless Soul Master.
Now that the Seven Treasures Team has reversed the roles, isn't that indirectly calling him a piece of trash?
But if he's not a good-for-nothing, why hasn't he broken through Level 29 after all these years?
The Seven Treasures Team's move was clearly aimed at him, and they did it in a way that was in the public eye, to humiliate him!
"Yu Xiaogang, calm down. Maybe it was just a lucky accident," Flender quickly advised.
Yu Xiaogang's theory was not accepted by the outside world, so only a few people, including Tang San, knew about it.
The Seven Treasures Team's actions clearly "stole" his theory and distorted it.
How could Yu Xiaogang not be angry?
