Battle Against Shrek Academy

After the competition ended, Jiang Lan left with Shui Yue'er and the others.

"Cough cough."

Just as Jiang Lan came out of the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena, he heard a familiar coughing sound.

"Little Guga?"

Jiang Lan looked in the direction of the sound with a puzzled expression and saw Dugu Yan looking at her with a kind expression, with Ye Lingling standing next to her.

Jiang Lan froze on the spot, the hood of his Penguin Suit still askew, and the red mark on his face from Shui Yue'er's kiss still lingering. Looking at Dugu Yan Yan's utterly benevolent smile, the hairs on the back of his neck instantly stood on end.

"Yan... Sister Yanyan, what a coincidence, you're here to watch the match too?" Jiang Lan chuckled awkwardly and took a half step back, only to be blocked by Shui Yue'er's leg behind her.

"A coincidence?" Dugu Yan sneered, arms crossed. "I sat in the stands all morning, waiting to see when that heartless little brat would notice me. And what happened? After the match, she won, and happily walked towards the door with her pretty ladies, without even glancing in my direction."

"I saw it! I saw it!" Jiang Lan quickly raised her little hand, like a quail being called on by the teacher. "I saw it when I entered the arena, but... but the competition was too intense, and I didn't have time to say hello."

"You're nervous?" Ye Lingling added softly from the side, "You threw one punch as soon as you stepped into the ring, and you didn't even break a sweat."

Jiang Lan was taken aback and glared at Doro, wanting it to say something for her. But Doro had already slipped to Ye Lingling's feet and was rubbing its head against her skirt, acting as if it didn't know anyone there.

Jiang Lan took a deep breath and unleashed her ultimate move.

He lowered his head, slumped his shoulders, and took small, quick steps to Dugu Yan. He grabbed her hem with his two short hands, shook it gently, and then looked up at her.

Those big, clear black and white eyes were watery, Jiang Lan's cheeks were puffed out, and her voice was so soft it could melt your heart. "Sister Yanyan, I was wrong, I shouldn't have ignored you. You're the most beautiful person in the whole arena, more beautiful than the championship trophy, a thousand times more beautiful than Feng Xiaotian. Please don't be angry with me anymore."

Dugu Yan's lips twitched. She tried to keep a straight face, but her brows had already softened uncontrollably.

This brat's tactic of acting cute is too unfair. Every time she's furious, his chubby face and childlike voice completely calm her down.

"Don't give me that." Dugu Yan turned her head away, but her hand had already reached out to straighten his crooked hat. "Don't do it again."

Jiang Lan felt like she had been granted a pardon. She hugged Dugu Yan's leg tightly, buried her face in her waist, and said in a muffled voice, "I knew Sister Yanyan was the best."

Shui Yue'er watched in awe. "This skill in charming others takes at least ten years to develop."

Xue Wu whispered, "He's six and a half years old this year. He's been practicing since he could walk, hasn't he?"

Before Jiang Lan was led away by Dugu Yan, she didn't forget to turn back and wave to Shui Bing'er and the others. "See you tomorrow! Remember my big meal!"

Shui Yue'er laughed and waved her hand, "I know, I know, I won't let you get away with what I owe you."

Jiang Lan was thus sandwiched between Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, walking towards Honey Snow Ice City.

Doro, perched on Ye Lingling's shoulder, finally opened his eyes and glanced at him, letting out a gloating "Doro."

Two days later, it was time for the Skywater Academy Team to face off against the Shrek Academy Team.

Unlike in the novel, the Shrek Academy Team did not win every single battle, but only occasionally.

Advancing is practically impossible.

"Sister Bing'er, I want to go on stage!" Jiang Lan volunteered.

Shui Bing'er looked down at Jiang Lan, a hint of hesitation in her icy blue eyes. "Are you sure? Aren't some of them your friends? Can you really bring yourself to do it?"

"A competition is a competition, and friends are friends." Jiang Lan puffed out her chest, her face unusually serious. "My Mom Bo Saixi, said that showing sentimentality on the battlefield is irresponsible to your teammates. Besides, if I don't play, Rongrong and the others will definitely think I'm scared."

Shui Bing'er chuckled and pinched his cheek. "Alright, you go ahead. But don't hit him too hard, after all, he still has to participate in the later matches."

"Okay." Jiang Lan pulled the zipper of her Penguin Suit up a bit, then took a segment of Ju Zi from Doro and stuffed it into her mouth, making her cheeks bulge.

The match between the Skywater Academy and Shrek Academy was scheduled to be held in the central main arena of the Great Soul Arena.

The stands were packed to the brim, and people were even standing in the aisles.

Although Shrek Academy's performance has been inconsistent recently, they have fought tenaciously in every match because of Tang San's presence, attracting a lot of attention.

Needless to say, the odds for the Skywater Academy Skywater Academy plummeted after Jiang Lan knocked Feng Xiaotian with a single punch.

Half of the audience members came specifically to see the child in the Penguin Suit.

"Skywater Academy versus Shrek Academy! Contestants, please enter the arena!"

The referee's voice echoed throughout the stadium.

The official team members from the Shrek Academy are Tang San, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, Ning Rongrong, and Oscar.

The seven players were still wearing those garish green jerseys that made the whole arena burst into laughter, with the six big words "Seeking Sponsorship" still on the back, but this time even they themselves couldn't be bothered to care.

All eyes were focused on the little Penguin Suit across from them, who was being held in Shui Yue'er's arms and calmly chewing on Ju Zi.

"That's Jiang Lan, the one who knocked Feng Xiaotian unconscious with one punch?"

"He's way too young! How can his parents let him play?"

Shh, keep your voice down, he's looking over here!

"What are you afraid of? He's not going to jump down and hit you, is he?"

"Didn't you see the match at the Godwind Academy? Feng Xiaotian is still lying there after that punch."

The audience was abuzz with discussion, the atmosphere tense yet tinged with absurdity.

The referee raised his flag to signal both sides to take their positions.

Jiang Lan slid down from Shui Yue'er's arms and stood at the front of the Skywater Academy Team.

He wasn't even half the height of his teammates, but that position was reserved for him.

"The match begins!"

The moment the referee's flag fell, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill without hesitation.

The next second, the two transformed into a giant white tiger, completely transparent, with white fur and black stripes, purple eyes, eight meters long and two meters tall.

They had discussed it beforehand and decided to make things quick, first defeating Jiang Lan with their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and then eliminating the others.

There was no other way; Jiang Lan was simply too strong. It was impossible to defeat Jiang Lan in a one-on-one fight, so this was the only option.

Although this behavior is extremely bullying, there's nothing we can do about it.

The moment the Hell White Tiger appeared, the entire Great Soul Arena fell silent for a moment.

The enormous white tiger stood on the arena, its eyes reflecting the small figure opposite it.
