Shrek's Double Standards

Tang Wulin extended his left hand, his five fingers grasping in the air.

Tang Sect Ultimate Skill—Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon!

A suction force erupted from his palm, intending to pull Wang Zhi over.

However, in that instant, he saw a faint smile appear on Wang Zhi's face.

The smile was subtle, yet it gave Tang Wulin a bad premonition.

The next second, he passed directly through Wang Zhi's body.

No, that wasn't a body!

It was just an illusion!

Tang Wulin's pupils constricted. He wanted to steady himself, but he had already rushed to the edge of the stage. Inertia prevented him from stopping.

Half of his body was hanging off the stage, his footing unstable. He was about to fall.

Just then, a black shadow arrived behind him.

Ghost Shadow Ninja struck out with a palm, hitting Tang Wulin squarely in the back.

Tang Wulin's face showed a helpless expression. He was instantly sent flying off the stage, crashing heavily onto the ground.

The Referee glanced, then raised his hand.

"Sea and Land Academy, Wang Zhi, wins!"

The entire venue erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

Wang Zhi stood at the edge of the stage, looking down at the bewildered Tang Wulin, the corners of his mouth curving upward slightly.

Tang Wulin now was still quite naive.

Therefore, he used his Second Soul Skill, Light Shadow Refraction, to project his image at the edge of the stage.

And Tang Wulin didn't realize that what he saw was just that illusion, and he rushed directly to the edge of the stage.

This led to his easy defeat.

Tang Wulin got up from the ground, brushed the dust off his clothes, and looked up at Wang Zhi on the stage.

His gaze was somewhat complex, but he quickly let it go.

If he lost, he lost.

He took a deep breath, nodded slightly at Wang Zhi on the stage, and turned to leave.

At this moment, Gu Yue and Xie Xie also came forward to comfort Tang Wulin.

Xie Xie patted Tang Wulin's shoulder, his tone carrying a hint of relief.

"Wulin, don't take it to heart."

"Even people from Shrek Academy lost, so it's normal for us to lose."

"Facing a monster like that, losing is not shameful."

Tang Wulin looked up at him, a somewhat forced smile pulling at the corner of his lips.

"I'm fine."

Gu Yue stood to the side, her gaze fixed on Wang Zhi in the distance.

That person was walking towards the audience seats, his back looking ordinary, with no special features.

But for some reason, Gu Yue felt she couldn't quite see through this person.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, mobilizing her Spiritual Power to try and perceive him.

However...

When her Spiritual Power touched Wang Zhi's Body, it was as if it had sunk into the sea, causing no ripples.

It was as if the person before her wasn't a Two-Ring Soul Grand Master, but an unspeakable existence.

As soon as this thought arose, Gu Yue herself was stunned.

Then, she shook her head, thinking self-deprecatingly:

She was overthinking.

She was the Silver Dragon King.

Even if the God Realm still existed, not even those five God Kings could make her feel unfathomable.

How could a human youth just over ten years old?

She withdrew her gaze, no longer thinking about it.

At this moment, Wang Zhi had already returned to the audience seats.

He sat on a chair, his expression calm, his gaze casually sweeping across the arena.

His impression of Tang Wulin was just so-so.

A stranger he didn't know.

He could ignore it.

He was too lazy to be the brother beside the protagonist, and too lazy to play games of snatching the protagonist's luck.

After all, Tang Wulin's grandfather, that Clear Sky Douluo, was now the lord of the Douluo Plane.

It would be as simple as possible to deal with a small Kalami like him.

In the past, Immovable Ming King Zhao Wuji, just being serious during the assessment, caused Tang San to suffer a little.

That night, he was severely beaten by Tang Hao.

He wouldn't overestimate Tang Hao's pettiness, thinking that no matter how much he jumped around, he wouldn't be beaten to death.

Of course, Wang Zhi Mingming also had a feeling, perhaps after he stepped into Titled Douluo, he could completely control the Black Shadow Kingdom.

Given the status of the Black Shadow Kingdom.

At that time, he would fear nothing.

You must know that when the ten generals of the Black Shadow Kingdom gathered, they could perform ultimate darkness and forcibly occupy a world with the foundation of gods!

Not to mention, Shendu, who entered Valmont's body, spoke very respectfully to Jade, who was still the queen of the Black Shadow Kingdom.

All these could prove how terrifying the status of the Black Shadow Kingdom was.

Another two days passed.

Tianhai Competition Three-Person Team Match, Top 16.

Today's match attracted extraordinary attention.

Because one of the opposing teams was the three-person team from Sea and Land Academy where the King resided, and the other was the three-person team of Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, and Xie Xie.

Zhou Tian'er looked at the three people opposite them and couldn't help but sigh.

"We've actually run into the team of the opponent from Xiao Zhi's individual match again."

Zhou Hanyou's expression was cold, and she didn't speak.

Wang Zhi looked at Gu Yue, who was standing beside Tang Wulin, and a hint of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

Although Gu Yue's Strength had greatly decreased now, because she had long comprehended multiple Element Hearts, her control over elements far surpassed Zhou Tian'er and Zhou Hanyou.

This was also why in the Original Work, Zhou Tian'er and Zhou Hanyou needed to use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, which they couldn't fully control, to fight.

Regarding this, Wang Zhi had no thoughts.

A competition is about who is stronger...

Not about who is pitiful.

The Tianhai Competition has been held for over two hundred years, and countless participants have been injured, even seriously injured, on the competition stage.

Weapons have no eyes; injuries are normal.

Wu Changkong stepping forward for his disciple, causing a scene at the Tianhai Competition, left Wang Zhi speechless.

What?

If you're afraid of your disciple getting injured...

Then don't participate in the competition!

This is a competition, not playing house!

Not to mention, the All Continent High-level Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition that Huo Yuhao participated in ten thousand years ago.

In the finals, two students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy were directly killed by Ma Xiaotao.

Later, Xuan Zi refuted them by saying, "Casualties in competitions are normal."

Moreover, Meng Hongchen only poisoned the Shrek people, and since no one died, Xuan Zi, with his Level 98 Super Douluo Strength, forcibly suppressed them and made them detoxify.

From this, it can be seen that Shrek Academy's double standards are truly a tradition since ancient times.

At this moment, the referee walked to the edge of the stage, signaling both sides to come forward.

Everyone walked out from the contestant passage, stepping onto the arena.

Wang Zhi walked at the very front, his expression calm. Behind him followed Zhou Tian'er and Zhou Hanyou, one lively and agile, the other cool and frosty.

On the opposite side, Tang Wulin and the other two also came up from the other side.

As soon as Xie Xie saw Wang Zhi, his expression became a little subtle.

He leaned close to Tang Wulin's ear and whispered.

"Wulin, that person..."

"Seems to be the one who beat you last time."

Tang Wulin nodded, his gaze falling on Wang Zhi, his eyes serious and focused.

Gu Yue stood beside Tang Wulin, her black eyes sweeping indifferently over the three people opposite...

Finally, they lingered on Wang Zhi for a moment.

The Referee signaled for both sides to step forward.

The six stood in the center of the stage and briefly introduced themselves.

"Sea and Land Academy, Wang Zhi."

"Sea and Land Academy, Zhou Tian'er."

"Sea and Land Academy, Zhou Hanyou."

"Donghai Academy, Tang Wulin."

"Donghai Academy, Xie Xie."

"Donghai Academy, Gu Yue."
