The Advantage Is Ours

After thinking about it, Wang Yan also felt that this method seemed a bit too hellish.

After all, Jiang Nannan is only a Soul Ancestor. Entrusting such an important task to a reserve Soul Ancestor is indeed a bit too much to ask.

Moreover, Jiang Nannan is right. What if the Sun and Sun Moon Team suddenly changes their formation? Then she would be in danger.

One wrong move and it's all over!

The loss of so many inner court students during the Shrek Inspection Corps mission was already a problem; if he were to lose even one outer court student, Wang Yan's job as a teacher would be over.

Even after being expelled, there might be a group of Shrek superfans who would gang up on him, this weak scholar who is basically powerless.

But at this moment, Ma Xiaotao said something surprising, smiling meaningfully as she said:

"I think Teacher Wang's method is feasible."

"No matter what, the Sun Moon Team's Fortress Tactic pose too great a threat to us; someone must be able to counterbalance them."

"Even if Jiang can't stop them from assembling the shells, as long as she can buy me and Dai Yueheng some time, that will be enough."

"Hmm... what Ma Xiaotao said does make sense."

Wang Yan hesitated again.

If he loses the match and fails to bring glory back to Shrek, his fate will be pretty much sealed.

Even the blame that originally belonged to Xuan Zi for dereliction of duty would be pinned on him.

He, a mere foreign language teacher, really can't shoulder such a huge burden of blame.

Xu Sanshi, however, was somewhat displeased. How could he let his beloved Nannan take such a risk?

What if something happens to his Nannan?

But before he could retort, Ma Xiaotao turned the tables on him.

"Besides, Jiang Xuemei isn't actually as dangerous as you think... If the Sun Moon Team suddenly changes its formation, can't we just have Xiao Xu use his Soul Skill to bring her back?"

"You're right, aren't you, Xiao Xu?"

"I believe you can protect Jiang Xuemei and make sure she doesn't get hurt, right?"

Upon hearing Ma Xiaotao's words, Xu Sanshi immediately became energetic, as if he had been injected with Blood One, and vigorously patted his chest.

"Of course! With me here, no one can hurt Nannan!"

It would be too dangerous to let Nannan stall alone, but it's a different story if she has me protecting her. I am Xu Sanshi, the Eternal Defense!

Xu Sanshi quickly convinced even himself. After all, this was a golden opportunity for him to be Jiang Nannan's protector. Who knew that this time he could give Jiang Nannan a strong sense of security and make her fall for him without even realizing it?

He rescued Nannan from danger and then won her heart...

Hehehehe...

As for where water and fire came from... well, that's none of your business!

Thinking of this, Xu Sanshi couldn't help but reveal a sly, lewd smile on his otherwise righteous face.

It was fortunate that Xu Sanshi had his back to Jiang Nannan Xu Sanshi that moment; otherwise, if she had seen the smirk on his face, the slight feeling of being touched that had just arisen in her heart would have vanished without a trace in an instant.

With Xu Sanshi speaking up, everyone felt relieved.

Although Xu Sanshi is usually quite unserious, he is very reliable in battle, especially when it comes to Jiang Nannan; you can absolutely trust him.

But while everyone else relaxed, Bei Bei couldn't stop sweating.

Bei Bei had a feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Moreover... from beginning to end, he only saw Jiang Nannan's struggle, Xu Sanshi's lewdness, and Wang Yan's inner conflict, but he didn't see the expression on Ma Xiaotao's face, the one who proposed the plan.

Not even for a moment; she seemed to be consciously avoiding everyone's gaze, as if she had some conspiracy she didn't want others to know.

The thought sent chills down Bei Bei's spine, and she frantically shook her head, trying to banish these thoughts from her mind.

I can't believe it... Senior Ma Xiaotao wouldn't do that... They're teammates, part of Shrek, she wouldn't...

And so, with Ma Xiaotao's encouragement, the initial plan was finalized.

The team roster is tentatively set as follows: Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Ling Luochеn, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, and He Caitou.

As for Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong...

"Yuhao, you can't participate in tomorrow's team battle. You have a more important task!" Wang Yan looked at Huo Yuhao seriously, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.

Although Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were somewhat puzzled, after exchanging a glance, they obediently asked Wang Yan for the reason.

"Is there some kind of task, Teacher Wang?"

"You've all seen how strong the Sun Moon Team. It's no exaggeration to say that our chances of winning the final against Sun Moon Team tomorrow are probably less than 30%." Wang Yan's tone was somewhat bitter.

As a theoretical scholar, he understood very well that even in the semifinals, the Sun Moon Team still had a lot of tricks up their sleeves.

Despite his high regard and wariness of Soul Tool, he wouldn't look down on them from the bottom of his heart like Ma Xiaotao and the others, nor would he belittle Soul Tool with Soul Tool.

Wang Yan understood all too well just how powerful the Sun Moon Team could be with the aid of Soul Tool.

Saying there's a 30% chance of winning is already Wang Yan's optimistic wishful thinking.

Unless the Sun Moon Team makes a Bao Liang play, their actual chances of winning are probably less than 10%.

With such a low win rate, it's practically a foregone conclusion that the Sun Moon Team will win this year's tournament. If Shrek wants to win with a 10% win rate, they either have to pray that the Sun Moon Team runs into trouble, or they can only pray for the mercy of the Lord Sea God. Otherwise, they basically have no chance of winning.

But... Wang Yan didn't want to lose! He didn't want to be shot multiple times in the back and hang himself!

"Ever since the collision between the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent four thousand years ago, we at Shrek have always strived to resist the invasion of the Sun Moon Empire, whether in war or competition."

Wang Yan said in a low voice, "Only if we, Shrek, stand at the forefront can we unite the three great empires to fight together."

"Therefore, we cannot lose!"

"It's not just because of Shrek's eternal glory, but also because of the greater national duty when facing the Sun Moon Empire."

"Yuhao, Wang Dong, do you understand?"

Wang Dong was fired up by what he was saying, but Huo Yuhao's eyes narrowed slightly.

Huo Yuhao is no longer the silly deer from the original story. The reason he fought so hard to win this competition is only to make a better impression on Shrek so that he can get more rewards and resources after the competition ends.

Unlike Huo Yuhao in the original story, he wasn't brainwashed by Shrek's so-called glory and loyalty to the point of being oblivious to the world.

Besides, what does the life or death of his beloved Star Luo Empire have to do with him, the illegitimate son of the White Tiger Duke who has been tormented and bullied since childhood?

You were already being too lenient by not helping Sun Moon Island bomb the capital, okay?

If you keep arguing, you'll all find a way to die!

Therefore, Wang Yan's words about national righteousness, which were full of nonsense, were completely worthless in front of Huo Yuhao, who was willing to do anything for profit.

All the words went in one ear and out the other as they passed through my head.

"We understand, Teacher Wang. Please tell us what we should do? For the glory of Shrek!"

Huo Yuhao concealed his inner turmoil and asked along with Wang Dong. At the same time, he kept mentioning Shrek's glory.

Hearing Huo Yuhao's profound sense of righteousness, Wang Yan was so moved that he almost burst into tears.

Good kids, you're all really good kids! With you all, Shrek will surely prosper!

In other words, Wang Yan has no idea what Huo Yuhao is thinking right now. If he did, he would probably have to think twice before talking to Huo Yuhao again, wondering if he would be betrayed by Huo Yuhao.

"It's very simple. Although you can't participate in the arena, you can use your Martial Soul Fusion in the rest area to enhance Yuhao's Spiritual Detection Sharing and provide support for Xiaotao and the others on the stage!"

Wang Yan waved his hand, his expression excited.

"Yuhao, your Spiritual Detection Sharing extremely well-hidden. Even if you're assisting from the sidelines, it would be impossible for you to be detected."

"With your help, our chances of winning will definitely increase significantly!"

After all, if this operation succeeds, it would be equivalent to the nine members of Shrek fighting against the seven members of the Sun Moon Team.

Nine against seven, the advantage is in my hands (Fenghua accent)!
