Living in a Garbage Heap

Feng Xiaotian understood that Wu Qi had tacitly agreed to his suggestion.

Although they didn't say it aloud, they were secretly competing with each other.

Of course, this is healthy competition; no one will resort to dirty tricks to win against each other.

Teams entered the venue one by one and quickly occupied the best rest areas.

Shrek Academy offended the Imperial Family, so they were naturally placed last to enter.

When they entered the arena, there were no rest areas left to choose from, so they had no choice but to accept the last one that was left.

Tang San and the others didn't care about this matter.

They didn't care about the Imperial Family's opinion of them; after all, this was during a competition, and even if the Imperial Family was dissatisfied, they couldn't possibly take action against them.

As for what happens after the competition, the sky's the limit, and nobody cares about these things.

Without Yu Xiaogang, and with Flender and the others giving up on themselves, Shrek Academy only sent one teacher, Liu Erlong, and one Staff in charge of logistics this time.

The staffing was extremely rudimentary.

However, this did not prevent the Shrek Seven Devils from achieving better results in the competition.

"Third Brother, I have a feeling this rest area isn't very good," Xiao Wu said nervously.

The rest area where Shrek Academy was located was a secluded corner; theoretically, the Battle Team that came before should have chosen this spot earlier.

Unbeknownst to them, this spot was diagonally opposite the Seven Treasures Team's rest area and also happened to be downwind.

Tang San didn't pay much attention. "Everyone, hurry up and put your luggage away. There's Opening Ceremony later, we can't miss it."

The Opening Ceremony of the Qualifying Round was not as grand as that of the Preliminary Round.

The three people on the Presiding Platform remained Ning Fengzhi, Xue Ye, and Salas.

Without an audience, the opening remarks for the Xue Ye were very brief, simply telling everyone not to feel pressured and to just give their best.

The Preliminary Round are team competitions. Individuals who are not strong enough may be able to win by relying on the strength of their team and taking advantage of the situation.

The Qualifying Round are different; they're one-on-one matches, and whether someone is a hero or a coward will be immediately apparent.

Next, Ning Fengzhi and Salas both stated that they would provide any supplies the Competitor needed unconditionally.

Furthermore, due to the closed nature of the competition venue, few Battle Team bring their own chefs. All meals will be provided by the organizers and supervised by designated personnel to prevent anyone from poisoning the food.

Of course, Battle Team like the Seven Treasures Team, which have excellent logistics, use Soul Tool to bring ingredients into the arena.

Food cooked in a large pot doesn't taste good; only when the chef cooks individual meals can the team's fighting capacity be guaranteed.

The Opening Ceremony has ended.

Each Battle Team returned to their respective rest area.

Most Battle Team chose to rest early to conserve their energy for tomorrow's matches.

But at the Shrek Academy, there's no way to rest.

Near his rest area, a large amount of garbage had been piled up by someone.

Because the temperature inside the venue was high and it was located downwind, the smell of garbage was overwhelming, making it impossible for them to rest.

"Who dumped this garbage here!" Dai Mubai stepped forward and kicked the garbage pile several times.

With his Soul Ancestor strength, he easily stirred up the garbage heap.

The trash, carried by the wind, landed right in front of their Camp.

The trash rained down haphazardly, making Liu Erlong visibly annoyed. "Enough, Mu Bai! Do you want to bring trash into our camp?"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but curse the person who littered.

Tang San's face was ashen as he said in a deep voice, "Someone must have done this on purpose. Teacher Er Long, please report this to the Organizing Committee and at least have them remove the trash."

Liu Erlong was extremely annoyed, but they still had a match to play, and they couldn't afford to waste all their time dealing with the trash.

Just as she was heading to the Organizing Committee, several Staff approached them carrying trash cans and dumped the trash near the campsite in front of them.

Seeing the trash scattered all over the ground, the Staff's face darkened, and he yelled at the Shrek group, "Hey! What are you doing here, playing with trash?"

"It's all messed up, who's going to clean it up?"

The Shrek team, already seething with anger, finally snapped at their words: "Who gave you permission to dump your trash here? Don't you know our rest area is nearby?!"

Tang San silently loaded the Silent Sleeve Arrow from his sleeve.

Given this blatant targeting of the Shrek Academy, these Staff are practically Way to Die.

But this is a military camp after all. If a fight breaks out, none of them will escape. And without Yu Xiaogang, no one can protect them.

Ultimately, reason prevailed over impulse, and Tang San did not make a move.

But with the Staff there, they had to get an answer!

The Staff couldn't help but yell, "The location of the landfill was chosen by the Organizing Committee. What, you don't want to participate in the competition anymore?"

Upon hearing this, the Shrek members became even more displeased.

The Organizing Committee deliberately dumped trash near them, clearly trying to prevent them from competing properly and intentionally targeting them!

That's not entirely true.

Looking down from above, you'll see that the entire rest area is laid out in a trapezoidal shape.

The rest areas for the Seven Treasures Team and Shrek Team are conveniently located at the corners of two ladders.

Since the Seven Treasures Team chose the upwind corner first, it wouldn't be realistic for the Organizing Committee to put the garbage dump there.

After all, if the garbage is piled upwind, the entire camp will be shrouded in the smell of garbage.

The other Battle Team aren't stupid either. Although the corner where the Shrek Team was located was very quiet, it was very likely that it was used as a dumping ground for trash.

Otherwise, how could the Shrek Team have gotten this advantage?

"Aunt Er Long, calm down. Let's go to the Organizing Committee to lodge a protest." Yu Tianheng remained relatively calm, trying to prevent Liu Erlong from acting impulsively.

These Staff were not Soul Master, so they dared not lie.

They were just following orders; there's no point in making things difficult for them!

But how can the Organizing Committee's decision be easily changed?

In the end, the Shrek Team still had to endure the smell and continue living there.

Seven Treasures Team Rest Area.

The Opening Ceremony was followed immediately by the draw for the competition.

The Qualifying Round consist of fifteen teams and are played in a round-robin format.

The competition will last for fourteen days, and each Battle Team will have a bye rest period of one day.

With the draw results released, the identity of Seven Treasures Team's opponent for tomorrow has also been revealed.

"It's actually the Beast Spirit Academy!" Wu Qi and the others were both surprised and delighted.

Before the match, Meng Yiran deliberately caused trouble for them, and now she finally has a chance to get revenge.

Sun Buyu said, "The Beast Spirit Academy is the second Battle Team to advance from the Balak Kingdom region. Their strength is average. If they were in the Heaven Dou Division, they would have no chance of advancing."

"But don't forget, they have the support of the Dragon Serpent Family, making them one of the more influential academies within the Balak Kingdom."

"I know you have issues with the Beast Spirit Academy, but don't go too far in the competition. Give them some face."
