People from Shrek Academy Really Have No Manners

Wow! Thank you, Brother Wulin!

Xu Lizhi accepted the dried meat, deeply moved.

I've met some good people!

The two chatted more and more enthusiastically, as if they had known each other for a long time. Tang Wulin asked about the snacks in Shrek City, Xu Lizhi knew them like the back of his hand, talking animatedly. The two immediately made a promise that after the competition, they would go to the best snack street in Skysea City and eat to their hearts' content.

They even exchanged contact numbers.

Just as they were chatting enthusiastically, a melodious yet somewhat cold voice came over.

"Little Glutton, what are you doing here? All you ever do is eat. It's almost our turn."

They both looked up at the same time.

Then a young girl walked towards them.

The girl looked to be only about ten years old, wearing the same green tracksuit as Xu Lizhi. However, the clothes that looked bulky on Xu Lizhi looked perfectly fitting on her, highlighting her budding curves.

Her golden ponytail was pulled high back, and she had a pair of beautiful, large, azure eyes with long, slightly upturned eyelashes. Her skin was fair and delicate, gleaming softly in the sunlight, like jelly, with a healthy pinkish glow.

She had a stern little face and a cold expression, looking like a little adult. She walked with her back straight, exuding a sharp and assertive air.

It was Ye Xinglan.

Upon seeing her, Xu Lizhi instantly stood up straight like Haozi seeing a cat, quickly hiding the jerky in his hand behind his back and plastering a fawning smile on his face.

"Sister Xinglan, I was wrong, I was wrong. But I'm so hungry! You see, if I don't eat my fill, I won't have the energy for the competition later, right?"

His voice grew softer and softer until it was almost gone, his head drooping like a scolded schoolchild.

Ye Xinglan walked up to him and wrinkled her delicate nose.

"Eat, eat, all you ever think about is eating."

She glanced at him disdainfully, then turned her gaze to Tang Wulin beside her.

He looked her up and down, his eyes filled with scrutiny and undisguised disdain.

"Don't eat just anyone's food. Don't you know there are a lot of bad people in this world?"

His tone was cold and indifferent, with a hint of condescension.

After saying that, she glanced at Tang Wulin again, her eyes seeming to say, "You don't look like a good person."

Tang Wulin was stunned for a moment, then touched his face.

Do I look like a bad guy?

That can't be right.

The commotion here also alerted Bai Yushan and Gu Yue, who were not far away.

Bai Yushan glanced at the green tracksuit in the distance, then looked at the dark green Shrek team in front of the podium, and sneered.

He turned to Gu Yue and said, "Are all the guys from the Shrek Academy this rude?"

It's ridiculous to call someone a bad person so easily.

Gu Yue looked at the person who asked the question, and the corner of her mouth twitched violently.

Don't you think it's a bit abrupt of you to say that?

How dare you say others are impolite?

Compared to him, that girl is just polite, okay?

Bai Yushan raised an eyebrow, raised his fist, and cracked his knuckles.

"What? Am I usually too polite?"

His tone carried a hint of doubt, as if he were truly an ambassador of politeness.

Gu Yue subconsciously shrank her neck and moved half a step to the side.

I thought to myself, it's easier to go astray if I'm around you.

She only dared to mutter these words to herself, but dared not say them aloud.

"Why do you care so much?" She turned her face away and muttered softly, "We're not even playing against them."

"I'm just worried that Na'er will go astray in that awful place, Shrek Academy!"

Bai Yushan spoke with such confidence and self-assurance.

Na'er so well-behaved and gentle. If she spends every day with little girls like that in Shrek, she might learn to Bingbing. That would be terrible.

No, no, that won't do.

I need to ask them as soon as I see them.

If someone is bullied, he'll just storm into Shrek and take them away.

Gu Yue shook her head, too lazy to even complain about him.

They even went astray.

You're the worst person in the whole world.

She rolled her eyes and turned to look at the center of the field.

Just then, the host grabbed the microphone and started shouting at the top of his lungs.

Just then, the announcement came over the loudspeaker.

"Today marks the start of the Skysea Alliance Grand Competition. We have specially invited a team from the Shrek Academy to exchange and spar with our defending champions. Given Shrek Academy's formidable strength, this exchange will be a cross-age group competition. Our Skysea Alliance Youth Group Seven Champions will challenge Shrek Academy's Junior Seven Champions. Now, please welcome both sides to the stage."

Youth group vs. Junior group?

Tang Wulin glanced at Xu Xiaoyan beside him with some surprise. She had indeed guessed right. The higher-ups of the Skysea Alliance had indeed considered the issue of confidence. However, if the youth group lost to the junior group, I'm afraid...

What surprised Tang Wulin even more was yet to come.

Representing the Skysea Alliance are the seven students from the Tianhai Academy, the reigning youth group champions. They are all over twenty years old this year and can only participate in the adult group competition.

They were all dressed in silver team uniforms, looking dashing and spirited. Five men and two women moved in perfect unison, clearly well-trained and strong. Each of them was full of energy, with a hint of excitement in their eyes.

To Tang Wulin's surprise, the people coming up from the other side of the arena were all people he didn't recognize. They were wearing green tracksuits and looked to be around fourteen or fifteen years old.

He recognized the two people walking at the very back at a glance.

In fact, they had only recently separated!

Isn't that the chubby Xu Lizhi and the girl he calls Xinglan?

Compared to the others, they were noticeably younger and stood out on the competition stage.

"Hey, it's those two. Why are they on stage too?" Xie Xie recognized them immediately.

Xu Xiaoyan stared blankly and said, "We're all about the same age, how come there's such a big difference?"

On the Shrek Academy's side, the leader was a boy of about fifteen years old. His appearance was not particularly outstanding, but he had an indescribable aura. Standing there, despite his young age, he was imposing and dignified. With just a few steps forward, he immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

Tang Wulin's eyes widened. He was also very much looking forward to this battle. Seven against seven was the most mainstream team battle. After tens of thousands of years of testing, this number of people was the most conducive to the performance of Soul Master.

The people on stage represent the best of these two age groups, especially the teenagers from the Shrek Academy. Just how strong are they?

Unconsciously, Tang Wulin had already begun to compare himself to them in his mind.

Aiming to be a strong person is the inevitable path for the vast majority of ambitious people.

After a brief introduction, Tang Wulin learned that the girl named Xu Lizhi was actually named Ye Xinglan, a very beautiful name.

The referee was an elderly man with a profound aura, clearly possessing considerable cultivation.

"The competition begins!"
