The Embarrassing Shrek

Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, the day of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament's opening arrived.

As a red sun rose on the horizon, Shui Wuchen opened his eyes from meditation in his room.

"It's about time."

After cultivating these past days, Shui Wuchen had drawn ever closer to Level 63. He believed he would break through before long.

"Brother, it's time for us to leave."

Not long after Shui Wuchen opened his eyes, Shui Bing'er appeared outside his door and knocked to remind him.

"Mm, right away!"

After answering, Shui Wuchen quickly washed up and stepped out of his room.

Shui Bing'er had already changed into Skywater Academy's team uniform. Seeing Shui Wuchen emerge, she helped straighten his clothes and said, "Brother, you look quite handsome in this outfit."

"It's all right. Let's go, or Dean Yueruo will get impatient."

It had to be said that Shui Yueruo had good taste. Skywater Academy's uniforms already made people look youthful and lovely, while these team uniforms were even better.

In the small courtyard, Xuewu was the first to greet Shui Wuchen when she saw the two arrive. "Bing'er's brother, you're here."

"Good morning, Xuewu!"

Shui Wuchen returned the greeting before looking around.

At this moment, nearly everyone in the courtyard had arrived. Only Dean Shui Yueruo and Shui Yuer were nowhere to be seen.

After waiting a little longer, Shui Yueruo arrived with Shui Yuer. Looking at the spirited group, Shui Yueruo said with satisfaction, "Very good, you're all full of energy!"

"Set off! Our destination is the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena!"

The Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena was one of Heaven Dou City's largest buildings, as well as one of the most famous Great Soul Arenas in the Heaven Dou Empire.

However, a month ago, the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena had halted all Soul Battle matches to undergo renovations for the upcoming All-Continent Elite Tournament.

The current Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena could accommodate eighty thousand spectators at once. Together with the various VIP seats, its scale was truly immense.

Before long, Shui Wuchen and the others arrived at the rest area prepared for the contestants in the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena. This rest area alone had over a thousand seats and was divided into different sections according to their functions, allowing contestants to choose freely based on their needs.

Skywater Academy had not arrived particularly early. After all, girls always needed more time to get ready.

Once Shui Wuchen and the others entered the rest area, they saw members of many other academies preparing and chatting. Among them were the Godwind Academy and Blazing Fire Academy they had encountered before.

Shui Wuchen could even see Huo Wu, dressed in Blazing Fire Academy's team uniform, hovering around Feng Xiaotian and speaking to him in a low, fawning voice, while Huo Yangyan stood with his head lowered, his face full of helplessness.

The moment Feng Xiaotian sensed Skywater Academy's arrival, his gaze immediately landed on Shui Wuchen. His eyes vaguely carried both provocation and anticipation.

Seeing this, Shui Wuchen's expression remained unchanged, but he secretly thought, It seems Feng Xiaotian truly sees me as his greatest opponent and wants to defeat me in this Elite Tournament. But if your strength is only at its current level, then you may be destined for disappointment.

"Oh? You arrived quite early."

After glancing over, Shui Yueruo directly led Skywater Academy's group to the seats beside Blazing Fire Academy and Godwind Academy, greeting them.

Only then did Huo Yangyan raise his head. Looking at Shui Yueruo, he said, "You're here too? Then it seems everyone has nearly arrived."

"What do you mean by that?"

Shui Yueruo raised a brow and asked in return.

Huo Yangyan did not answer. Instead, he turned to the side and said something to Huo Wushuang.

Huo Wushuang nodded, then immediately stood up and dragged Huo Wu over from Godwind Academy's group.

"Hey, Brother, why are you grabbing me? I still need to deepen my relationship with Xiaotian."

Huo Wu whined coquettishly as Huo Wushuang held her by the collar.

"Shut up!"

Huo Yangyan could no longer endure it. He seemed to laugh in anger as he said, "Deepen your relationship? Is that how you deepen a relationship? I think you're just lusting after his body. Have some shame!"

Hearing that, Huo Wu's pretty face flushed. She lowered her head and stopped struggling.

At the side, Shui Wuchen could not help twitching his lips as he watched. Huo Wu was truly interesting. He had seen male simps before, but this was his first time seeing a female simp.

Still, it made sense when he thought about it. Feng Xiaotian possessed Innate Full Soul Power, and his Soul Power Level had likely reached the Soul King tier by now. It was said that there were only around five thousand Soul Kings officially recorded in this world. He might not be the very best, but he was certainly an outstanding catch.

He might even become a Titled Douluo in the future. It was hardly strange for girls to pursue someone like him.

"Pfft!"

Just then, a student from Blazing Fire Academy could not hold back a laugh.

The people around him looked at him in surprise, but he directly pointed toward the entrance and said while suppressing his laughter, "Look, what's that?"

Shui Wuchen followed the direction of his finger and could not help finding it amusing as well.

More than a dozen people wearing shit-green team uniforms walked in with their faces covered. The words "Sponsorship Wanted" were written on their uniforms.

At this sight, neither the students nor the teachers in the viewing area could keep straight faces.

If they had not been Soul Masters and nobles who had received a proper education and knew they should not mock others in public, they probably would have burst into laughter the moment they saw those people.

Even so, many could not help chuckling. The academy's people were simply too ridiculous. The bizarre color combined with those inexplicable words made it difficult not to laugh.

Who knew what that academy's dean and teachers were thinking, choosing a time like this to advertise? Did a dignified advanced Soul Master academy really lack that little money?

The puzzled, disdainful, and contemptuous gazes in the viewing area, along with the occasional laughter and murmured discussions, made Shrek's group look increasingly miserable. They lowered their heads even further, wishing they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Dean Flender really has money on the brain. Couldn't he have made the uniforms look a little better?

Tang San, wearing a mask among Shrek's group, cursed inwardly.

Today was undoubtedly the most humiliating day of his life. The strange looks he had received throughout his entire life did not even compare to what he had endured today.

Still, no one paid Shrek Academy much attention. They merely laughed when Shrek entered, then quietly waited for the opening ceremony under their teachers' guidance.

At the same time, some teachers went to complete the final registration. Once the lineup was confirmed this time, it could no longer be changed.

After a while, a middle-aged man with a hooked nose and a crafty air walked in. Seeing Shrek's group hiding in some remote corner, he asked in confusion, "Eh? Why are you hiding here?"
