"Now I announce: the winning team is -- Shrek Team!"
On the stage, Doudou began to speak.
The outcome of this battle has finally been determined.
As Doudou announced the winning team, the members of the Shrek Team jumped up Shi Xing and looked around excitedly.
On the other side...
The members of the Imperial Fighting Team looked dejected at this moment.
Standing on the edge of the Soul Fighting Arena.
Ye Lingling used the Nine Heart Begonia to heal the injuries of the group.
"I'm sorry, Teacher Qin, we lost..."
Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan supported each other.
Looking at Qin Ming and Ye Lingling waiting on the side.
Yu Tianheng's face showed resentment. He stood in front of Qin Ming with his head down, like a child who had done something wrong.
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't been so Xiao Xin and fallen into their ambush, we probably wouldn't have been defeated..."
"No, Captain, they're just too cunning!"
Yu Feng, standing to the side, clearly disagreed and retorted unwillingly.
"Alright, a loss is a loss. It's my fault as the captain for not directing you well."
Yu Tianheng spoke with a serious expression.
Qin Ming, watching the argument, actually smiled slightly.
Qin Ming stepped forward, patted Yu Tianheng on the shoulder, and said:
" Tian Heng, failure is not terrible. What's terrible is being unable to get back up after one fall."
Qin Ming's gaze swept over everyone as he continued:
"You've always grown up in favorable circumstances, so perhaps this setback isn't such a bad thing after all."
Looking at the expressions on the faces of the students he had been leading, Qin Ming reached out and patted Yu Tianheng on the shoulder again, saying:
"Alright, Tian Heng, you take them back first. I need to meet with a few people."
Qin Ming walked past the crowd and simply waved his hand, saying:
"Remember what I said: failure is not terrible..."
As the Imperial Fighting Team watched Qin Ming leave, the disappointment of their defeat seemed to be replaced by a renewed fighting spirit.
After bidding farewell to the Imperial Fighting Team, Qin Ming headed towards the Shrek Team's location.
Now, Xiao Yan and the others, who had just finished their battle, were standing excitedly in front of Grandmaster and the others.
"Not bad! You actually managed to defeat the Imperial Fighting Team."
Flender wore a broad smile.
He finally understood the terrifying talent of the team in front of him.
If we give them another twenty years...
Flender believed that they would definitely bring surprises to the entire Douluo Continent.
"Very good, you defeated the Imperial Fighting Team. This second phase of training was worthwhile!"
The Grandmaster's gaze swept over the crowd before he continued speaking.
"So, our second phase of training is over?"
Ma Hongjun popped his head out from behind, a hint of excitement on his face, and said:
" Grandmaster, now that we've defeated the Imperial Fighting Team, shouldn't we be given some time off to rest?"
Seeing Ma Hongjun's winking and gesturing, the other members of Shrek also looked at the Grandmaster with expectant expressions.
"Alright, then I'll give you a two-week break. Perfect timing, I'll consider your third phase of training."
"There's a third phase of training!!!"
Ma Hongjun couldn't help but groan.
In the past few months, he has only vented his anger a handful of times, so this is the only time he can let loose during his vacation.
"What, you have a problem with that?"
The Grandmaster glanced sideways at Ma Hongjun, which made everyone laugh.
"No, no..."
Ma Hongjun hurriedly waved his hand and said to the Grandmaster with a fawning expression:
"Even if you have a fourth or Fifth Rank of training plan, Grandmaster, we will strictly adhere to it!"
Seeing Ma Hongjun's expression, everyone couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Dean Flender, Dean Zhao Wuji, it's been a long time!"
Just then, a cheerful voice came from the side. Everyone turned around and saw Qin Ming walking towards them with excitement.
"This is..."
Xiao Yan frowned slightly as he watched the middle-aged man approach, recalling that this man seemed to have been waiting at the exit of the Imperial Fighting Team Imperial Fighting Team when they made their entrance earlier.
This means that the person who came was the coach of the Imperial Fighting Team.
"Haha, you little rascal, you haven't forgotten us after all!"
Flender saw a smile on the newcomer's face and burst into laughter along with Zhao Wuji beside him.
"This is..."
Sensing the puzzled looks from the Grandmaster and the Shrek academy students, Flender began to explain to both sides.
"This is Qin Ming, a former student of the Shrek Academy! But judging from what happened just now, he seems to be the instructor leading the Imperial Fighting Team!"
Flender smiled and addressed the Shrek team, then introduced Qin Ming:
"This is a teacher from the academy, and also the coach of this team."
"They're your juniors now."
Qin Ming nodded upon hearing Flender's introduction, his excitement still evident.
He bowed respectfully to Flender and Zhao Wuji.
"Greetings to Dean Flender, Professor Zhao Wuji, and... Grandmaster."
As a graduate of the Shrek Academy, he naturally bowed to the fact that the Grandmaster was now a teacher at the academy.
Unexpectedly, upon seeing Qin Ming's actions, the Grandmaster slightly turned his body away, avoiding Qin Ming's bow.
Qin Ming looked up, a look of surprise on his face.
"Oh, right! Look at my memory!"
Flender was stunned for a moment when he saw this, then suddenly slapped his forehead in realization and explained to Qin Ming:
"You are Yu Tianheng's teacher, Grandmaster is Yu Tianheng's uncle. You are of the same generation, so he naturally cannot accept this courtesy from you."
"What!"
Everyone looked surprised upon hearing Flender's words.
Even Zhao Wuji and Qin Yun, who were standing to the side, looked confused.
Xiao Yan and Tang San exchanged a glance and both saw the shock in each other's eyes.
They also had no idea that the Grandmaster actually came from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Suddenly, Xiao Yan and Tang San thought of Grandmaster's Mutated Martial Soul.
As a disciple of a family possessing the strongest beast attack Martial Soul, his own Martial Soul mutated into such a ridiculous pig.
They will never be able to break through the level 30 bottleneck in their lifetime.
No wonder the Grandmaster never revealed his origins.
" Flender!"
Upon hearing Flender's words, the Grandmaster's face showed a hint of anger, and he glared at Flender with eyes that seemed to spit fire.
After taking a deep breath, he said nothing more, turned and left with a flick of his sleeve.
"It's alright. After all these years, Xiao Gang can figure things out on his own."
Xiao Yan and Tang San exchanged a glance, and were about to give chase when Flender stopped them.
Then, Flender's gaze fell on Qin Ming again, and he smiled and said:
"I see you're quite strong now. It won't be long before you catch up with us old guys."
"Look at your juniors, quite a few of them have just broken your records!"
Flender proudly showed off to Qin Ming.
The person who held the record before Xiao Yan and the others was Qin Ming.
