The "Rebellion" Sparked by PDA, the Entire Reserve Team Takes the Field!

In Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu's room at the Shrek Academy.

Zhu Lu finished showering and came out of the bathroom wearing a loose white bathrobe. Her long, black hair was wet and draped over her shoulders, with water droplets sliding down her fair neck and disappearing into the collar of the bathrobe.

Dai Huabin was sitting on the sofa looking through the match schedule. Hearing the noise, he looked up and saw this scene.

Zhu Lu walked over and sat down next to him, naturally leaning on his shoulder, bringing with her the fresh scent of shower gel.

"Are you watching the opponent for the first match?" Zhu Lu asked softly.

"Um."

Dai Huabin casually put his arm around Zhu Lu's slender waist and pinched her clitoris.

"The first match is an elimination round. Our opponent is the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy. Their Main Team consists of four Soul Ancestor and three Soul Elders. They're just a bunch of ordinary players; there's nothing to see here."

Zhu Lu blushed slightly and buried her head in the crook of his neck, nuzzling against him.

"So, who do you plan to send out?"

Dai Huabin put down the schedule in his hand and gently stroked Zhu Lu's waist with his fingers.

"My Grandmaster asked me to consider the starting lineup tonight." Dai Huabin smiled. "Since it's the first game, of course we need to play well and give everyone a good start."

He turned his head, looking at Zhu Lu's cool face so close to his, and said softly.

"Although our Reserve Team are enough to take them down, I think the two of us are enough to sweep them aside."

Zhu Lu paused for a moment, then nodded. "Okay. I'll do whatever you say."

For her, she would unconditionally obey any decision made by Dai Huabin.

The following morning, on the top floor of the Star Emperor Hotel, in the Shrek Academy's private conference room.

Sunlight streamed through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows and onto the long table.

Zhang Lexuan stood at the head of the table and distributed a stack of documents one by one. The cover of the documents was printed with the words "Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy" in large characters.

Ma Xiaotao casually flipped through a couple of pages, tossed the documents onto the table, stretched lazily, and crossed her long legs.

"Four Soul Ancestor and three Soul Elders. This setup is just there to make up the numbers, isn't it?" Ma Xiaotao curled her lip, her tone full of disdain.

Wu Ming leaned back in her chair, looking down and playing with her hair, showing no interest in even looking at the documents.

"Exactly, if our Main Team were playing, I wouldn't even need to activate my Martial Soul to throw them off the stage. It's so boring, playing in this kind of match is just beneath us," Wu Ming chimed in.

Dai Yueheng sat to the side, not saying a word, but his expression was full of disdain.

As a level 64 Power Attack System Soul Emperor, asking him to fight a group of Soul Ancestor and Soul Elder would indeed not inspire Battle Intent at all.

Zhang Lexuan tapped the table to get everyone's attention.

She turned to look at Han Ruoruo.

Han Ruoruo smiled and said:

"Their strength is indeed lacking. However, this is the first knockout match, and a good start will save a lot of trouble later. Since your Main Team isn't interested, then let's give this debut to the Reserve Team."

Zhang Lexuan nodded in agreement, then her gaze swept across the long table and landed on Dai Huabin.

"Huabin, Xiaotao and the others think it's not challenging enough. This match is about Shrek's reputation. What are your Reserve Team's plans? Did you consider the starting lineup last night?"

Dai Huabin sat in a chair, Zhu Lu sat quietly next to him.

He casually tossed the documents aside, his tone very nonchalant:

"Grandmaster, since the opponent isn't strong, there's no need for the entire Reserve Team to play. Lulu and I can go."

There was a moment of silence in the conference room after he said that.

Two people against seven?

Zhang Lexuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly calculated in her mind. Dai Huabin's Soul Power had reached level 55, while Zhu Lu's was level 42.

Moreover, Dai Huabin's combat power cannot be measured by common sense. He is a monster who can defeat even Wu Ming, Seven-Ring Soul Sage who has opened his Martial Soul Avatar, in one move.

These two are more than capable of dealing with a few ordinary Soul Ancestor and Soul Elder. Not to mention they also have the Hell White Tiger Martial Soul Fusion Skill as a backup.

"That's one way to go," Zhang Lexuan nodded slightly, finding the suggestion reasonable.

Zhu Lu felt a sweet warmth in her heart upon hearing Dai Huabin's arrangement. She moved closer to Dai Huabin without saying a word, but her attitude was clear: she was completely at his mercy.

However, some people objected.

"Bang!"

Wang Dong'er slammed her hands heavily on the table and stood up abruptly. Her light blue hair swayed wildly with the movement, even her two panda-shaped hair ornaments swayed along with it, and her delicate face was filled with displeasure.

"Dai Huabin! What do you mean?!"

Wang Dong'er pointed at him angrily.

"We came all the way from the academy just to watch you two play doubles and show off your love on stage?"

Xiao Xiao sat next to Wang Dong'er, nodding in agreement repeatedly:

"Yeah, class monitor, you're so biased. You want to steal the spotlight all by yourself, and maybe even bring your partner along for some alone time?"

Cui Yajie rested her chin on her hands, smiling as she looked at Dai Huabin, but her tone carried a hint of resentment:

"Captain, if you're eating meat, you should at least let the sisters have some soup, right? Is it fair for us to sit on the sidelines and watch you two steal the spotlight on stage?"

Ning Tian sat a little further away and began his analysis slowly and deliberately:

"From a tactical perspective, having the entire Reserve Team on the field better showcases Shrek's depth and dominance."

Sending only two people might lead to a victory, but it could also make other colleges think we're too arrogant. Besides, we need real-world experience to hone our teamwork and coordination."

The four girls, one after another, effectively shut down Dai Huabin's suggestion.

Ice Empress and Snow Empress watched with great interest as Dai Huabin was interrogated by the group.

Dai Huabin looked at the group of indignant girls and felt completely overwhelmed.

He originally just felt that the opponents were too weak, and everyone was crowded on the stage and couldn't perform properly, so it would be better for him and Zhu Lu to go up and quickly cut through the mess.

Little did they know that this would stir up a hornet's nest.

Wang Dong'er, in particular, was clearly jealous when she saw that he only had Zhu Lu with him, which is why she led the rebellion.

Zhu Lu didn't care about any of that. She reached out and tugged at Dai Huabin's sleeve, whispering:

"I'll do whatever you say. If everyone wants to go, then go together. Just don't make them angry."

Dai Huabin sighed and raised his hands in surrender.

"Alright, alright, I take back what I just said." Dai Huabin smiled helplessly. "Since everyone is so motivated, let's all go together. All Reserve Team members, go!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong'er gave a soft hum and sat back down, the gloom on her face instantly dissipating.

Dai Huabin turned to look at Xue Qingyao was sitting quietly to the side, as serene as a fairy in a painting.

Xue Qingyao was wearing a plain white dress today, with her long, white hair reaching her waist. Her gaze was fixed on Dai Huabin and the others, but she did not participate in the argument.
