Tang Ya: Let me borrow Gu Yunxiao from you

Wang Yan and the others were surprised to hear this.

They never expected that Bei Bei and Tang Ya had already broken up and were even preparing to become opponents on the field.

"Xiaoya..."

Bei Bei tried to step forward.

"Alright, let's go back."

Gu Yunxiao simply gave Bei Bei a gentle push, casually sending her six or seven steps away.

If Xu Sanshi hadn't stopped her, Bei Bei would have stumbled and fallen to the ground.

"They're gone."

Gu Yunxiao waved his hand and left with the seven women.

Just as the elevator doors were about to close, Tang Ya suddenly said, "Nannan, can I borrow Yunxiao from you?"

"Why?"

Jiang Nannan was taken aback.

However, Tang Ya quickly grabbed Gu Yunxiao's arm, buried it deep in her chest, and held it tightly.

This scene was witnessed by Bei Bei outside the elevator.

"No... Xiaoya!"

Bei Bei was stunned, completely bewildered, and her face was filled with disbelief.

Wang Yan and the others sighed softly, feeling helpless.

"Alright, Bei Bei, it's not worth it for Tang Ya. Your brother is still here." Xu Sanshi put his arm around Bei Bei's shoulder and comforted her gently.

Bei Bei remained distraught and dazed.

Compared to Tang Ya's departure, he found it even more unacceptable that Tang Ya had gone to Gu Yunxiao.

"Alright, let's register first. Everyone must be tired, so get some rest." Wang Yan said, leading everyone to the registration area.

Meanwhile, the elevator went up to the sixth floor.

"This is a one-time exception." Gu Yunxiao glared at Tang Ya, then casually pulled his arm away, clearly having little lingering affection for that softness.

"I'm... I'm sorry."

Tang Ya responded softly, feeling inexplicably disappointed.

Although she wanted to make Bei Bei give up, she also had her own selfish motives, wanting to try out her unrealistic ideas.

"Sorry won't help."

"If there's a next time, I won't play along with your act; I'll take it for real."

Gu Yunxiao's expression remained calm, and his voice was composed.

Using him as a shield? No way!

He's the kind of person who never likes to suffer losses; he only likes to "eat the meat."

"Oh," Tang Ya responded, the disappointment she felt suddenly fading.

If there's a next time... well, let's give it a try!

"Yunxiao, I noticed that the Shrek Team seems to have fewer people. Are they like us?" Jiang Nannan asked.

Xiao Xiao and the others nodded.

They all noticed this too.

"It shouldn't be." Gu Yunxiao shook his head and smiled meaningfully, "Perhaps they encountered some kind of accident."

"Accident?"

The seven people were stunned for a moment, then became even more confused.

The Shrek Team definitely has Titled Douluo, or even Super Douluo, leading them. How could they possibly encounter an accident?

The only one who could possibly cause them to encounter such an accident is Gu Yunxiao, right?

"Never mind them, let's eat and drink well." Gu Yunxiao smiled.

"Good."

The seven people nodded with smiles, not thinking too much about it, and followed Gu Yunxiao back to their rooms.

Before long, the Hotel staff brought out a luxurious meal; all the ingredients were fresh and the taste was excellent.

After all, it's the Star Emperor Hotel, the flagship of the Star Luo Empire, so the service, food, and accommodation must be top-notch.

Meanwhile, Wang Yan had already led the Shrek Team members to complete the registration and check into the luxury suite on the top floor.

In addition, there is a dedicated conference room.

That's roughly how it is.

"Although Gu Yunxiao and his group belong to the Dragon God Team, they represent the Dragon God Hall; the academy is merely a formality."

Wang Yan explained some things about Gu Yunxiao and the Dragon God Hall to everyone.

Of course, he didn't know the more detailed information.

Ma Xiaotao knew more, but she chose to remain silent and didn't want to say it.

After all, she could tell that Dai Yueheng, Dai Huabin, Xu Sanshi, and Gu Yunxiao had conflicts, and even Bei Bei probably had some as well.

Compared to these people, she would definitely choose Gu Yunxiao.

Ling Luochеn, standing beside her, also remained silent, quietly playing the role of an ice queen.

Having already decided to join the Dragon God Hall, she naturally wouldn't reveal too much about Gu Yunxiao to Wang Yan and the others.

"Teacher Wang, if Gu Yunxiao represents the Dragon God Hall in the competition, then our biggest opponent this year will definitely not be the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, but the Dragon God Team."

"It's Cai Tou," said the tall, muscular, bald man with dark skin.

"Yes," Wang Yan sighed, sounding quite helpless, "That's also what I'm worried about. Shrek Academy's opponents this year are very strong, and we..."

Almost all of the starting players were wiped out. Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochеn, Xi Xi, and Dai Yueheng, the four players who still had energy, also needed a few days to recover from their injuries.

Only seven players from the reserve team are available to play.

Seeing Wang Yan's appearance, most people lowered their heads, their morale low.

Yeah, how do we fight this?

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy Team is already a formidable opponent, but the Dragon God Team will only be more terrifying.

Everyone present had witnessed Gu Yunxiao's strength.

Most importantly, that was almost a year ago. With so much time having passed, how terrifying must Gu Yunxiao's talent be now?

No matter how strong Yunxiao is, we cannot give up.

Ma Xiaotao slowly spoke, saying, "Moreover, Grandmaster didn't use her full strength back then; she didn't use her Martial Soul Avatar, Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, or Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone."

"If we cooperate properly, we still have a chance to win."

"Among the Dragon God Team, apart from Gu Yunxiao, the others are still young and their cultivation levels are not high, which is also our opportunity."

"Your captain is right!" Wang Yan nodded, his face serious. "We bear the honor of Shrek Academy on our shoulders, and we must defend it to the very end!"

"Yes! For the glory of Shrek!"

Dai Yueheng and his colleagues were filled with renewed confidence and boundless excitement.

Whenever ' Shrek Glory' is mentioned, a fire burns in their hearts, and they feel their blood boiling.

Although Ling Luochеn responded, she didn't feel particularly proud of Shrek Academy's honor. She was only interested in ice, or rather, now she should add Gu Yunxiao to that list.

She found Gu Yunxiao quite interesting and was somewhat curious about him.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Ma Xiaotao nodded slightly, but inwardly sighed, feeling somewhat unsure of herself.

She had spent a considerable amount of time with Gu Yunxiao and was well aware of his strength.

With so much time having passed, Gu Yunxiao has definitely grown to a terrifying level.

Even though she had broken through to the Soul Saint level, it would be difficult for her to contend with her opponent.

"No!" Ma Xiaotao composed herself and made a silent resolution. "I must defeat him; only then will I have a chance!"

In the battle against Gu Yunxiao, victory is the only option; defeat is not an option.

She's determined to win over Gu Yunxiao!

"Alright, everyone's tired."

Wang Yan's expression gradually relaxed, and he said in a gentle tone, "The academy's support should arrive soon, and you don't need to feel too much pressure."

"Don't forget, we are Shrek Academy."

"Moreover, in previous tournaments, Team with the potential to win the championship have never been matched with each other in advance; it's practically an unspoken rule."
