Tang San Was Nothing but a Liability—Who Would Want to Team Up with Him?

Tang San Was Nothing but a Liability—Who Would Want to Team Up with Him?

What had originally been perfectly normal words took on an entirely different meaning once they reached his ears.

Just then, Flender continued,

"The second stage of training will take place at the Soto Great Spirit Arena."

"There is no time limit for this training. It ends whenever you obtain a Silver Spirit Master Badge."

"At the same time, I'll arrange for you to stay at the inn closest to the Great Soul Arena. You will cover all your own food and lodging expenses."

"Besides, if you have the ability, the income you earn from the Great Soul Arena will be quite substantial."

Upon hearing Flender's words, Gu Xuan and the other seven students all nodded.

There was barely any change in their expressions.

He was also familiar with the rules of the spirit arena.

Aside from one-on-one spirit duels, there were also two-on-two duels and team battles.

Support System Spirit Masters like Oscar and Ning Rongrong could only earn points through the latter two types of battles.

After thinking for a moment, Flender spoke again,

"However, earning a Silver Spirit Master Badge isn't limited to one-on-one duels. You must also obtain a Silver Spirit Master Badge in team battles."

"You will compete under the name of Shrek."

"Team battles not only earn each person individual points, but also grant team points."

"Of course, to help you obtain the Silver Spirit Dueling Rank faster, you now need to freely form pairs and participate in two-on-two duels as well."

"There are eight students in the academy. Start discussing your pairings now."

"Tell me the results of your pairings in five minutes, and I'll register all of you at the Soto Great Spirit Arena."

"Since Tang San is absent for now, Great Master will temporarily take his place."

The moment Flender said this, the students immediately became somewhat unsettled.

One-on-one, two-on-two, and team battles.

That meant that, aside from Oscar and Ning Rongrong, everyone else had to participate in at least three spirit duels every day.

The Soto Great Spirit Arena only opened at night.

That made the daytime relatively easy.

But their evenings would be extremely tight.

When Flender told them to freely pair up, Yu Xiaogang immediately sensed a problem.

Although Shrek did indeed have eight students.

That made exactly four pairs.

But judging from the current situation, it seemed rather difficult to arrange.

The eight people had clearly split into two groups.

On the left were the original seven students. On the right stood Yu Xiaogang alone, temporarily replacing Tang San.

If anyone was willing to team up with Tang San, they probably couldn't fucking be found at all.

Yu Xiaogang slightly turned his head and looked toward the seven people beside him.

The first person he looked at was Gu Xuan.

Among the seven, Gu Xuan was clearly the strongest.

If Tang San could form a team with Gu Xuan,

their chances of winning would be extremely high.

Just then, after the three girls exchanged glances,

they all turned to look at Gu Xuan at once, each wanting to team up with him.

With his strength, after all, it was practically impossible for him to lose.

Ever heard of a team built for wins?

Gu Xuan was the captain type.

And it was not merely his strength that they valued.

There was also his face.

What girl wasn't a little lovestruck?

Why wouldn't they choose a handsome guy like Gu Xuan?

Would they choose that sleazy Ma Hongjun instead?

Or Oscar, with his scruffy beard?

Dai Mubai looked decent enough, but what he had done had long disgusted all three girls.

Who would still be willing to spend time with him?

As for Tang San, he was not even within their consideration.

Xiao Wu was the first to speak,

"I'm teaming up with Gu Xuan!"

Before the other two girls could react,

she stepped forward and hooked her arm through Gu Xuan's.

With a helpless expression, Gu Xuan shrugged at Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.

"Too bad we can't form a four-person team. Otherwise, it could've been the four of us."

Although all three girls were eager, there was still an order of arrival.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged glances and decided not to compete with Xiao Wu for him and damage their relationship.

"How about the two of us team up?"

Zhu Zhuqing suggested.

An Agility Attack Type Battle Spirit Master paired with a Support System Spirit Master—and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, the continent's number one Support Type Spirit.

Their combat strength would be formidable as well.

"Sure, sure!"

Ning Rongrong smiled and nodded in agreement.

Other than Gu Xuan, she had no desire to team up with any of those stinky men.

Especially Tang San. Teaming up with him would be worse than dying.

Seeing the three girls quickly form their teams, Yu Xiaogang helplessly withdrew his gaze.

Now, he could only place his hopes on the other three male students.

The first person Yu Xiaogang considered was Dai Mubai.

Though his strength could not compare with Gu Xuan's, he was still the strongest aside from him.

As Tang San's master, Yu Xiaogang naturally had to do everything he could to secure a good teammate for him.

But Yu Xiaogang truly did not know

that Tang San and Dai Mubai were no longer merely on bad terms.

They practically had a grudge against each other.

If they teamed up, Tang San feared that before they even fought their opponents,

the two of them would start fighting each other first, and the result would be him getting brutally beaten.

Oscar and Ma Hongjun were not bad choices either.

Though Yu Xiaogang was not very familiar with them, he had read everyone's detailed profiles.

Their talents were barely compatible with Tang San's.

Thinking this, Yu Xiaogang immediately revealed a friendly smile, preparing to have an amicable talk with them.

However, the Shrek students had long known Tang San and Yu Xiaogang's sordid history.

They could not run away fast enough—how could they possibly be willing to team up with him?

Were they dreaming?

The three male students, who had still held onto a sliver of hope, decisively gave up when they saw what was happening around Gu Xuan.

It seemed they could only sort things out among themselves.

But there were only three of them. No matter how they arranged themselves, they could only form one team.

As for the extra person, well...

Just then, Ma Hongjun caught sight of Yu Xiaogang looking over from the corner of his eye and was immediately startled.

"Boss Dai, the two of us will team up! The two of us!"

"Fatty, that's going too far!"

"You want a Support System Spirit Master like me to team up with Tang San? Then I might as well forget about earning a single point!"

Oscar naturally refused, immediately retorting,

"Boss Dai, you and I should team up. My sausages can boost you tremendously. The two of us together would be invincible!"

For a moment, Dai Mubai was put in a difficult position.

Both of them counted as his good brothers.

Choosing either one meant pushing the other into a fire pit!

Tang San was such a useless scrub. Whoever teamed up with him

would practically be fighting one against three.

He was nothing but a fucking liability.

Seeing that the three of them not only ignored him, but even shifted farther away,

Yu Xiaogang's expression immediately darkened.

From the looks of it, no one wanted to team up with Tang San.

He immediately became displeased.
