Reserve Team? Shrek Is Actually This Overconfident!

"However, Xue'er, you shouldn't go on," Dai Huabin added.

Xue Qingyao raised her head, her sky-blue eyes looking at Dai Huabin, tilting her head slightly as if asking why.

Dai Huabin shrugged:

"Xue'er, if you, with your level 70 cultivation, were to stand on the stage, the competition would be over immediately. If you want to play around, you should wait until the finals."

We have to save face for the other colleges and give Dong'er and the others a chance to shine."

Upon hearing the words "level 70," Dai Yueheng's cheek twitched violently.

He still can't fully accept that this seemingly aloof and ethereal girl, who had always been by Dai Huabin's side, had broken through to the Soul Sage without a word!

Ma Xiaotao also looked at Xue Qingyao with a complicated expression.

Wasn't she level 65 before?

How did I get to level 70 in the blink of an eye?

She, the official team leader, was only level 67. Although level 67 couldn't beat Xue Qingyao's level 65 back then, at least her Soul Power was higher than Xue Qingyao's.

Xue Qingyao is already level 70, this Reserve Team is even more terrifying than the Main Team, what's the point of this competition? Let's just take the championship trophy back to Shrek.

Xue Qingyao thought about it and felt that Dai Huabin's words made sense.

She never liked joining in on the fun; these kinds of competitions in the human world were no different from playing house to her.

"Okay. I'll listen to you." Xue Qingyao's voice was clear and crisp. After speaking, she lowered her head again to continue reading.

With the lineup finalized, Zhang Lexuan began to arrange the details.

"Since the Reserve Team is all on the field, Huabin, as the captain, you will decide on the specific tactics," Zhang Lexuan said.

Dai Huabin nodded and looked at Wang Dong'er and the others:

"The tactics are simple. The opposing team has four Soul Ancestor and three Soul Elders. At the start, Dong'er, Cui Yajie, and Xiao Xiao, the three of you will provide firepower suppression and control from the back. Ning Tian will be responsible for overall amplification. Lulu and I will charge in front."

He paused for a moment, his tone becoming somewhat casual:

"However, I doubt any complicated coordination will be needed. A single wave of attacks will suffice."

Wang Dong'er rolled her eyes at him:

"Keep bragging. What if things go wrong and you, as the team leader, end up like this?"

"A rollover?" Dai Huabin chuckled. "If I can rollover even against the Tianling Academy, I might as well quit being the second young master of the White Tiger Duke Mansion and just go home and farm."

A soft chuckle broke out in the conference room.

Di Lingxi, who hadn't said much until now, came over from the side.

Today she was wearing a pale yellow dress, her long golden hair was tied in a high ponytail, and she was holding a pastry that she had somehow gotten her hands on.

"Huabin, I want to go on stage too!" Di Lingxi mumbled between chewing on a pastry, her face full of anticipation.

Dai Huabin quickly pressed her head down and pushed her back:

"Forget about you, you're not even on our contestant list. You can just stay in the audience and eat snacks with Bing'er."

Di Lingxi pouted, reluctantly said "Oh," and turned to run off to find Bing Hanyue.

Seeing that it was almost time, Zhang Lexuan stood up and clapped her hands.

"Alright everyone, pack up and get ready to head to Star Luo Plaza. Today is the opening ceremony and also the first elimination round. The glory of Shrek rests in your hands."

Everyone responded in unison.

Half an hour later, the Shrek team walked out of the hotel, immediately attracting a crowd of onlookers on the street.

The group of more than a dozen people was quite large, especially the girls in the group, each of whom was exceptionally beautiful and had a unique temperament. Dai Huabin, who was walking at the front, became the target of envy for all the male Soul Master.

Star Luo Plaza is not far from Star Emperor Hotel.

The square was already packed with people, and the stands around it were full of spectators.

In the center of the square, a huge square arena has been set up.

Team leader Elder Ma, along with Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, were standing at the entrance of the contestants' passage.

Seeing the Shrek Academy students approaching, Xiao Hongchen's expression immediately darkened.

"Brother, don't go and provoke them again." Meng Hongchen tugged at Xiao Hongchen's sleeve.

Xiao Hongchen snorted coldly:

"I'm not that bored. I want to see what this Dai Huabin is capable of, daring to be so arrogant."

As Dai Huabin walked past the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy's group, he merely glanced at Xiao Hongchen without lingering, and led his group directly into Shrek's exclusive rest area.

This utter disregard infuriated Xiao Hongchen.

In the rest area, Dai Huabin called several members of the Reserve Team together.

"We're about to go on stage. Remember, our goal isn't just to win, but to win easily."

Dai Huabin looked at the girls in front of him.

"Ning Tian, immediately buff everyone with Strength and Speed at the start. Dong'er, don't hold back with your Butterfly Goddess Light. Xiao Xiao, use the Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron to smash the enemy's control class. Yajie, keep an eye on the enemy captain with your Charm skill."

The girls nodded in agreement. Although Wang Dong'er often bickered with Dai Huabin, she was never ambiguous when it came to serious matters.

"Then what are you and Lulu doing?" Wang Dong'er asked.

Dai Huabin smiled and said, "We? We'll take care of cleaning up after you've finished your performance."

The referee's loud voice came from outside, Amplifying Soul Tool and carried throughout the entire square.

"The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament, Round 1 Elimination Match 1!"

"Shrek Academy versus Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy!"

"Both teams, please enter the field!"

Dai Huabin took a deep breath and turned to look at Zhu Lu.

Zhu Lu smiled at him and extended her hand.

Dai Huabin took her soft hand and led the girls from the Reserve Team out of the passage.

The moment the Shrek team appeared on the ring, the entire Star Luo Plaza erupted in deafening cheers.

However, when the players who came onto the field were clearly seen, the audience in the stands, including representatives from other colleges, were all stunned.

"What's going on? Why did Shrek send a bunch of teenagers to the field?"

"That blond boy leading the group looks to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, right? And the girls behind him are even younger than that!"

"What is Shrek doing? Are they fielding their Reserve Team for the first elimination match?"

The discussions grew louder and louder, and the entire Star Luo Plaza was in chaos.

The rest area of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy.

Xiao Hongchen jumped up from his chair, nearly crushing the teacup in his hand.

"Elder Ma, look! What is Shrek doing!"

Xiao Hongchen pointed at the arena, somewhat puzzled.

"Reserve Team! They've deployed their entire Reserve Team!"

Elder Ma sat motionless in his chair, his brows furrowed in a deep frown.

He couldn't understand Shrek's move either.

Meng Hongchen sat to the side, holding a glass of juice in her hand, her gaze fixed on Dai Huabin at the front of the ring.

"Brother, can you just shut up for a second?"

Meng Hongchen took a sip of her juice and slowly opened her mouth.

"Shrek dares to make such arrangements, they must have a reason to be confident. Look at Dai Huabin, does he even look a little nervous?"

Xiao Hongchen snorted and sat back down in his chair.

"Pretentious!"

Meng Hongchen ignored him and turned back to stare at the arena.

She always felt that the guy named Dai Huabin had an inexplicable sinister aura about him.

The exclusive VIP lounge for the Star Luo Imperial Family.

Xu Jiujiu, dressed in a gorgeous gold gown, sat gracefully on a large Swan chair.

Hearing the commotion outside, she leaned forward slightly and looked down at the arena.

After seeing the Shrek Academy team's lineup, Xu Jiujiu's rosy lips parted slightly in surprise.

"It really is Huabin's Reserve Team." Xu Jiujiu murmured to himself.

After a long absence, Dai Huabin's aura has become even more astonishing.

"Your Highness, isn't Shrek's arrangement a bit too presumptuous?" A minister from the Star Luo Empire standing to the side couldn't help but speak up.

Xu Jiujiu, he shook his head and chuckled softly.

"No, you don't understand him. Dai Huabin never does anything he's not sure he can do."

Xu Jiujiu's face was full of curiosity. Just how many trump cards did this guy have up his sleeve?

However, the atmosphere in the ring was the complete opposite of the excitement in the stands.
