At Last, Reunited! Long Time No See, Bei Dage
For some inexplicable reason, Huo Yuhao felt a Sisi pity for Mu En.
They racked their brains to cultivate more outstanding successors, but one by one they turned out to be so useless. Apart from being very capable, they were completely brainless.
To be precise, those guys were completely brainwashed by Glory of Shrek and prestige.
He felt that no matter who they were facing, as long as they were trembling and heard the name Shrek, they would have to bow down and pay homage.
They've already treated Leng Qiuyu like this, yet they still expect her to obediently suppress Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire? Do they really think the name of Shrek is omnipotent?
This behavior might be considered foolish for others, but for Xuan Zi, it's perfectly natural.
Leng Qiuyu's arrival dampened the enthusiasm of Gu Yuena, Meng Hongchen, Wang Dong'er, Di Qiu'er, and the others for continuing their shopping trip. They returned to the hotel that the Star Luo Empire had prepared for them, the contestants from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy.
Because he was the runner-up in the previous Soul Master Competition, he could only live on the lower level of the Shrek Academy.
However, in order not to expose himself prematurely, Leng Qiuyu took the initiative to suggest that he stay with the Shrek Academy members for the time being, and then step forward to deliver a fatal blow to the Shrek Academy at the critical moment.
Huo Yuhao had no objection to this. After returning to his room, Huo Yuhao recounted Leng Qiuyu's experience to Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen, who had secretly followed them there.
After hearing Huo Yuhao's plan, Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen exchanged a glance and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
It was only because they had sealed the room with their Soul Power beforehand that the entire hotel would have been disturbed by their loud laughter!
Jing Hongchen laughed so hard his eyes were almost invisible, and the flabby flesh disguised by his Soul Tool on his stomach jiggled as he slapped his thigh and laughed.
"Are those guys at Shrek really that stupid? Threatening that girl with her family is one thing, but they don't even restrain her? Aren't they afraid that she'll fight to the death and expose everything they've done?"
Kong Deming's smile slowly disappeared, clearly thinking of the fate of his granddaughter and great-granddaughter Zhang Lexuan. He then looked at Huo Yuhao and said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, Yuhao, I'll arrange for someone to pick up Leng Qiuyu's family and make sure they're not harmed in the slightest. As for Shrek, we'll see what you do when we meet them in the Soul Master Competition!"
Huo Yuhao grinned.
"Don't worry, teacher. Senior Xiao said that he will show his skills when the Soul Master Competition starts. The only regrettable thing is that after the Death God Envoy incident, Shrek only has two regular members left. The rest are all reserve team members. Even if we beat them, they will probably still have excuses."
Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen waved his hand dismissively, his words filled with disdain for Shrek Academy.
"So what? Although you are the regular team members, apart from Ma Rulong, the rest of you are about the same age as their reserve team members, some are even younger than them. There's nothing unfair about winning!"
"Moreover, with a Level 98 Super Douluo by their side and several Soul Emperor among the main team members, they were almost wiped out by a single Evil Soul Master who was only at the Soul King level. In the end, that Evil Soul Master even escaped unscathed. How dare they say that our victory was unfair?"
"Next, besides sending someone to pick up Leng Qiuyu's family, I will also spread the news in Star Luo City so that everyone knows about Shrek's glorious achievements!"
After making the decision, Jing Hongchen demonstrated exceptional initiative, leaving the hotel without hesitation to secretly spread the news and let everyone know what had happened to the Shrek members.
However, to Jing Hongchen's surprise, there was another group of people doing the same thing.
With the strength of Rank Nine Soul Engineer, Jing Hongchen secretly followed the other party and found out their identities, eventually discovering that it was actually the Star Luo Imperial Family that had secretly instigated this.
Even the Star Luo Royal Family did something like this, which shows how much resentment they harbored towards the Shrek Academy!
Now that they finally have the chance to kick Shrek out of the water and ruin their reputation, the Star Luo Royal Family is naturally unwilling to miss it.
With the Star Luo Royal Family secretly stirring things up, in just half a day, everyone in Star Luo City knew that the Shrek Supervision Group was almost wiped out by a Soul King- level Evil Soul Master. Even with Titled Douluo of level 95 or higher present, they were unable to capture that Evil Soul Master who was only Soul King.
In no time, public opinion in Star Luo City began to ferment. Even though many of the Shrek Academy's fanatical followers desperately tried to whitewash the situation, claiming that Shrek's people were just careless for a moment, many more people began to doubt Shrek's invincible record and whether they still deserved the title of the Number One Academy on the Continent.
It can only be said that although the last Evil Soul Master incident used Tang Ya as a scapegoat, it did have some impact. Countless people have begun to doubt Shrek Academy.
And this kind of doubt, with just a little push, could eventually lead to the collapse of Shrek, the Number One Academy on the Continent with a history of ten thousand years, making it impossible for it to maintain its glorious achievements!
Huo Yuhao and the other participants from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy were clearly Shrek's gravediggers!
When the Soul Master Competition officially started the next day, the Shrek participants came out of their rooms one after another. After looking around, Wang Yan found that everyone seemed a little listless and looked like they hadn't slept well.
Wang Yan knew how much pressure these reserve team members were under, so to ease their tension, he immediately clapped his hands.
"Everyone, don't be nervous. At Xuan Zi's speed, he will be able to return to the academy today. Once the academy's higher-ups know the specifics, they will definitely send Inner Court students to participate in the competition as soon as possible."
"And that means that as long as we can get through the first few rounds safely, we don't need to worry about the rest. I already said yesterday that as the previous champions, we have certain privileges. At least in the first few rounds, we definitely won't encounter any overly strong academies. Don't you have the confidence to win against opponents who are generally only at the level of Four-Ring Soul Ancestor? Don't forget, you are the geniuses of the Shrek Academy!"
Wang Yan's words stirred up everyone's emotions.
Yes, they are Shrek's geniuses! So what if they are the reserve team? Shrek's reserve team can still defeat the regular players from other academies!
Inspired, the reserve team members set off with high spirits.
Wang Yan breathed a sigh of relief as he followed behind them with Zhou Yi, who looked like a wronged woman.
Although Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire were suppressed and she regained her senses, she still needed time to recover, just like Dai Yueheng. As for Leng Qiuyu, this "tool person," she was to avoid being exposed to others as much as possible.
Wang Yan prayed that nothing else would happen. As long as he could hold out until Xuan Zi arrived with the other Inner Court students, his mission would be complete.
However, as soon as the Shrek Academy team members went down, they encountered the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy team members who were also heading to the competition venue.
Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up as he looked at Bei Bei walking at the front of the crowd. He put on a bright and sunny smile and greeted her with a cheerful grin.
"Long time no see, Bei Dage!"
