Alas, When Hearts Scatter, a Team Is Hard to Lead

The next morning, the sky was bright.

Everyone had arrived at the Shrek Academy's Training Ground.

But the atmosphere on the field was even more oppressive and deathly silent than the day before.

Their faces were deathly pale, and the dark circles under their eyes were so deep they looked as if they had been stained with ink.

His eyes were unfocused, and he appeared listless.

Everyone seemed to have been awake all night, radiating a low-pressure atmosphere that kept strangers at bay.

Tang San stood in the corner of the Training Ground, head down, radiating an aura of gloom.

Last night's hallucination felt too real.

Tang Hao's utterly disappointed look kept echoing in his mind, refusing to leave.

His gaze rose and fell on Yu Xiaogang, who was not far away.

His eyes held an intense, unyielding skepticism, along with a barely perceptible hint of dissatisfaction.

In the dream, it was because she studied under Yu Xiaogang and believed in his so-called perfect theory that her father was so disappointed in her.

Yu Xiaogang happened to look up and his gaze met Tang San's eyes.

That cold, questioning, and gloomy gaze was exactly the same as the look in Tang San's eyes when he pierced Tang San's heart in the illusion last night.

"!!!"

Yu Xiaogang trembled.

It felt like being doused with a bucket of ice water from head to toe, making my mind tremble.

He instinctively took a half step back, quickly averting his gaze, no longer daring to meet Tang San's eyes.

A cold sweat instantly broke out on my back, and my heart started pounding wildly in my chest, almost leaping out of my throat.

Xiao San is he staring at me like that?

Could it be that he...

Dai Mubai and Oscar walked over side by side at this moment.

The two men looked extremely grim.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Tang San was filled with undisguised ferocity and a hint of killing intent.

They hated Tang San Tang San so much at this moment that they wanted to fight him to the death on the spot.

Ma Hongjun huddled on the other side of the Training Ground, his eyes vacant, his mind wandering.

He was still muttering to himself, "I'll be burned to death... I really will be burned to death..."

In my dream, the scene of being burned to ashes by an out-of-control Evil Fire Phoenix is still vivid in my mind.

He couldn't help but wonder, "Does the stronger I become, the stronger my Evil Fire will be?"

My fingertips were trembling uncontrollably.

If that's the case, wouldn't it mean that the path to becoming a Soul Master is also a dead end for him?

The current flare-ups of his Evil Fire are already causing him enough pain.

If the Evil Fire continues to grow stronger...

The thought sent a shiver down his spine.

Looking down at his palm, he felt an intense conviction that the strategy hadn't suddenly become stronger.

Anyway, I'm just an ordinary person.

If I graduate smoothly from the Shrek Academy Shrek Academy, I can become a junior teacher there and support the dean in his old age.

They wouldn't end up with nothing but their remains.

Flender stood at the front of the Training Ground, his gaze sweeping over the group of dejected trainees below, feeling as if a thousand-pound boulder was pressing on his heart.

I thought everyone was discouraged by yesterday's loss to the Imperial Fighting Team and the departure of Lin Qingmo and the others.

The atmosphere on the field was so tense it felt like it was about to burst with tension.

Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the fear and panic brought on by the illusion from last night.

He waved his hand at everyone. "Everyone, please exercise on your own today and get into shape."

Regardless.

He's a little intimidated when facing Tang San now.

Yu Xiaogang felt he needed to take a break.

"Flender, come with me for a moment, I have something to tell you."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the office, his steps somewhat hurried, as if he were fleeing something.

Flender paused for a moment, then quickly followed.

The office door was slammed shut, cutting off any outside noise.

Flender looked at Yu Xiaogang standing by the window, his face full of exhaustion and anxiety.

"Xiao Gang, what's your solution? Look at the kids these days, what have they become?"

"If this continues, let alone the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, we might not even be able to hold out until the tournament begins."

He's really overwhelmed right now.

In their current state, the Shrek Seven Devils wouldn't be able to beat Lin Qingmo, let alone an ordinary team.

The spots for the Continental Tournament have become an illusion.

Yu Xiaogang turned around, his eyes filled with a desperate, resolute look, and an almost insane certainty.

"Flender, our only option now is to find Qin Ming and Yu Tianheng."

Flender froze on the spot, his face filled with disbelief.

"Looking for them?"

"Qin Ming is now a core teacher at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Yu Tianheng is the Captain of the Imperial Fighting Team from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"

"Lin Qingmo just beat up their entire team yesterday, and Yu Tianheng is still lying unconscious in bed. What are we going to do with them?"

He wondered if Yu Xiaogang had been so provoked that he had lost his mind.

The Imperial Fighting Team and they are now practically enemies, so why would they help them?

Moreover, the number of participants is determined by the Heaven Dou Royal Academy; how could the Imperial Fighting Team possibly qualify?

So what if you beat them to a pulp?

Yu Xiaogang sneered, his tone carrying a hint of desperate madness.

"Yu Tianheng is my nephew, and Qin Ming is a disciple personally trained by your Shrek Academy."

"Perhaps we can rebuild our team and qualify for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament."

Yu Xiaogang's eyes gleamed with an almost obsessive light, as if he had grasped at the last straw.

"You've seen the strength of the Imperial Fighting Team with your own eyes. Every single one of them is Soul Master with extraordinary talent. Add the rest of us, and we can definitely form a top-tier team across the entire continent!"

He had no way out.

Only by rebuilding the team and winning the championship can we succeed.

Flender looked at the madness in Yu Xiaogang's eyes, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something.

For example, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had long severed ties with him, Yu Tianheng might not acknowledge him as his uncle.

For example, Qin Ming currently holds an important position at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and he might not necessarily give up his promising future to gamble with them.

But when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he ultimately fell silent.

The situation is truly hopeless; there's no other way.

"Well..."

He sighed heavily, nodded to Yu Xiaogang, and his tone carried a hint of helpless resignation.

"Alright, we'll do as you say. I'll go with you to Heaven Dou City to find Qin Ming and Yu Tianheng."

at the same time.

Inside an inn in Suotuo City.

Shi Nian stood hunched over in front of Lin Qingmo.

His face turned pale, his lips turned purple, and his whole body was trembling uncontrollably.

The snake venom that Dugu Bo had injected into his body was gradually eroding his meridians.

Each time he circulated his Soul Power, it felt as if countless venomous snakes were gnawing at his internal organs.

That kind of pain was worse than death.

He forced himself to stand up and bowed to Lin Qingmo, his voice hoarse as he said:

"Lord Lin, everything you entrusted to me has been completed."

"The Shrek members, including Yu Xiaogang, were all trapped in the illusion I created. They didn't sleep a wink all night, and their minds were shattered."

His eyes held a deep sense of anticipation, along with a barely perceptible hint of fear.

His only thought now is to get the antidote from Lin Qingmo and escape this torment that is worse than death.

Deep down, he secretly vowed that once he obtained the antidote, he would never provoke this evil spirit again.

Who would have thought that this young boy could actually get Poison Douluo Dugu Bo to do things for him?

This time, I really messed up at my grandma's house.
