Many teachers might have been unaware of the conflict that occurred between the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect and Shrek Academy last semester, but as official members of the Shrek Seven Devils, they were able to gather some information.
One could judge certain things simply by the Academy's attitude.
After Ye Guyi arrived at the Academy, Dean Yan had publicly stated that the candidates for this generation of the Shrek Seven Devils would be re-selected.
It was supposed to be implemented this semester, but up until now, not a single word had been mentioned.
They had discussed it privately.
How could they not see the trickery behind it?
"It's not as complicated as you imagine; it's just that the Academy has nothing left to teach us, so we should apply for graduation when the time comes."
Ning Que did not dwell on this matter with them.
Unless the pain falls upon one's own body, no one can truly empathize.
Let them experience the might of a Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult for themselves.
At this moment, the match had already begun.
Ning Que suggested they watch the competition together.
The students participating in the melee were all selected from the second to fifth years.
If Ning Que remembered correctly, there were only twenty-six people in the original work.
But now, on the stage, the scale of students reached a full fifty.
If anyone claimed there was no trickery involved, no one would believe them.
As soon as the battle started, the atmosphere instantly turned peculiar.
The majority of the students locked onto their targets immediately; their gazes were directed precisely at Ning Tian, Jin Sheng, and Wu Feng.
Because Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were students in Mu Jin's class, they were also included in this group.
At this moment, the person most conflicted among the crowd was undoubtedly Bei Bei.
Not long ago, a teacher had approached him, hinting throughout the conversation that he should target Ning Tian and the others. That teacher seemed to know his identity, even intentionally or unintentionally mentioning Mu En's injury, and hinted that he could help Tang Ya pass her promotion exams easily.
He did not understand why the Academy would do such a thing.
After the combat order was given and the formations were drawn, Bei Bei saw the clues.
This was a deliberate, total targeting of Ning Tian and the others.
Senior Ning Que has helped me and Xiao Ya, and Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong are disciples of the Tang Sect; I cannot harm them!
In the end, Bei Bei made his decision.
He did not choose to attack Ning Tian, Huo Yuhao, and the others; instead, he took Xiao Ya and walked into their formation.
If the Academy did not want them to become substitutes for the Seven Devils, they should use upright and honorable methods, not this.
"Not bad!"
Seeing Bei Bei's actions, Ning Que offered a rare word of praise.
The others might not know yet, but at least from what he had seen so far, he really hadn't found any flaws in Bei Bei, nor was he the type to be ungrateful.
As for Tang Ya, perhaps it was because she lacked a brain, or perhaps it was because her heart remained with the Tang Sect, but she was rarely swayed by the glory of Shrek.
Within Tang Ya, a battle was raging between the allure of Tang Sect glory and the allure of Shrek glory.
"The Academy is going too far!"
Just then, Xi Xi, who was beside Ning Que and the others, spoke up.
Her voice was very soft and lacked any piercing quality, but to the ears of Gongyang Mo and Chen Zifeng, it sounded like a thunderclap.
From the moment the melee began, they had seen the signs and understood that this was the Academy's intention.
But both Gongyang Mo and Chen Zifeng knew it in their hearts, yet would never speak it aloud.
They had not expected that this teammate, who usually had the least presence, would be so brave.
One had to know that there were Title Douluo teachers from the Academy present, and even Dean Yan and Xuan Zi were there.
Such words might easily fall into the ears of those with ulterior motives.
Gongyang Mo's previous inquiry had already taken all his courage.
He hadn't expected there to be an even greater expert here.
The two of them subconsciously looked at Xi Xi.
Xi Xi did not respond, instead turning her gaze toward the competition stage where the match was about to unfold.
Then, the two of them turned their eyes toward Ning Que.
"No matter, my younger sister and brothers—they aren't so weak that they can't handle these little tricks!"
Ning Que smiled indifferently. He did not restrain his words in the slightest, his tone unbridled and laced with mockery.
Not far away, Yan Shaozhe's gaze turned instantly cold as he looked over.
Ever since Ning Que had appeared, Yan Shaozhe had already taken note of him.
Especially after Gongyang Mo and the others came to make contact with Ning Que, Yan Shaozhe felt even more uncomfortable.
He even thought that once this matter passed, he would have to make Gongyang Mo and the others understand exactly what their status was.
Then, Xi Xi made such a blunt comment about the academy.
The fire in Yan Shaozhe's heart grew even hotter.
Subconsciously, he wanted to forbid these few people from participating in the Soul Master Competition.
But he quickly realized that he had already explicitly ordered Xiao Tao to severely injure Dai Yueheng; if he were to stop these three from competing as well, there would be almost no one left.
He had no choice but to pretend he hadn't heard it.
Then, Ning Que's mocking words reached his ears.
"Bang!"
At that very moment, someone on the field had already made the first move.
A student with a Two-Headed Fire Lizard martial soul launched an attack on Wu Feng.
"Yuhao, you and Jinxuan come to my side. A-Sheng, Xiao Feng, Huanyue, you block the perimeter. Xiao Xiao, Yun'er, Wang Dong, take the flanks..."
Ning Tian displayed the lessons Ning Que had taught her, and upon seeing that the situation was unfavorable, she immediately stepped up to lead the group.
No one found any fault with her arrangements.
The formation unfolded rapidly.
"Senior Bei Bei, Senior Tang Ya, do you want to join forces with us, or decide the winner right now!"
After positioning those around her, Ning Tian turned her gaze toward Bei Bei and Tang Ya, who were approaching them.
Seeing Bei Bei, Jin Sheng immediately radiated a faint, lingering fighting spirit.
He desperately wanted to test whether the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon or the Golden Crocodile King was truly the number one beast martial soul of the past.
As long as Bei Bei chose to be their enemy, he would strike immediately.
"Let's form an alliance first, and decide the winner afterward."
In the end, Bei Bei chose not to follow the teachers' arrangements.
Once the others were eliminated, he would use his strength to achieve his goal fair and square.
Not only that, but he also brought in Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan.
In this way, the most outstanding disciples of the entire Outer Court instantly gathered together, forming the same camp as Ning Tian and the others.
Although their opponents were still numerous, in terms of momentum, they instantly gained the upper hand.
"How can Bei Bei be so insensible!"
Watching this scene from below, Yan Shaozhe's eyes turned blood-red, his expression twisted, and he breathed like an ox.
He had painstakingly arranged everything, hoping to use this to teach the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect a lesson.
He had hoped to vent his frustration.
Never did he imagine that all of this would be ruined by his own people.
The problem was, when it came to Bei Bei, he really didn't dare to say much.
Especially since he was doing such dirty work.
If Bei Bei were to report this to Mu En, things would truly become a disaster.
