Huo Yuhao watched Xuan Zi leave, not daring to say a single word.
"Teacher Wang Yan..."
Only after Xuan Zi had left did he look at Wang Yan somewhat sheepishly.
Because of him, not only had they failed to win the first elimination match quickly, but they had also revealed the true caliber of this Shrek Team to the entire audience.
"During a match... anything can happen. That's normal."
Wang Yan forced himself to pull out of his slump, laboriously stretching his face into a smile.
"You've all expended quite a bit of strength. Go back to the hotel and rest first."
"I'll stay and watch the other teams' matches, then work out our strategy for what comes next."
Hearing this, Beibei and the others exchanged looks before finally nodding.
Wang Yan was right. They had expended a great deal in the first match and truly needed to recuperate properly.
Furthermore, Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao had suffered a slight backlash after their Martial Soul Fusion Skill failed.
With the discussions about them from the spectator stands continuing without end, they had no desire to remain in the waiting area either.
After greeting Wang Yan and Ma Xiaotao, the seven of them left the waiting area and headed toward the hotel.
From their backs, they looked rather dejected and bedraggled.
Watching the seven members of his academy's team depart, Wang Yan finally let out a small sigh of relief.
In truth, there was an even more important reason why he had asked Beibei and the others to leave.
He was afraid that the performances of the other teams would affect his academy team's mindset and morale.
"Shrek Academy... I never expected this year's Shrek Team to be this weak."
Wei Na watched the Shrek Team leave with a complicated expression.
