Sure Enough, Shrek Was Still Shrek

"Bao Liang, do you want to attend this auction?"

After Qing Ya left, Xiao Hongchen looked at the invitation in Bao Liang's hand with a strange expression.

Are you serious?

"Of course I'm serious."

Bao Liang slammed the invitation on the table with Bao Liang- righteous air.

"Go ahead and laugh. We've been competing for days, what's wrong with relaxing a bit? Besides, we're not short of money."

What if there's something really good at the auction?

Xiao Hongchen's lips twitched.

"What are you tired of?"

"Wasn't I the one fighting in this entire round of races?"

Don't worry about those unimportant details.

Bao Liang waved his hand skillfully, then held up the invitation card, facing the people in the conference room, his voice instantly becoming extremely persuasive.

"Brothers, aren't you tired of playing games every day?"

"Wouldn't you like to go to the auction tonight and relax?"

"How about experiencing the thrill of spending money like water?"

There was a moment of silence in the conference room.

Ma Rulong was the first to nod.

"I have no objection."

Meng Hongchen naturally wouldn't object, and although Xiao Hongchen still wanted to complain, he gradually became interested when he thought about the rare metals and Soul Tool that were rarely seen outside the world that might appear at the top auction.

The others had even fewer objections.

Since there's no match tomorrow, attending the auction tonight won't affect my rest.

Moreover, their Sun Moon Team is probably the most relaxed team in this tournament.

Since the start of the round-robin competition, it has basically been Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and Bao Liang taking turns on the field.

The other team members were either sitting in the rest area cheering or chatting and drinking tea on the side, hardly moving at all.

Strictly speaking, they were more like there to make up the numbers and act as cheerleaders.

However, gathering enough people is also important.

Without them, Bao Liang and the others wouldn't even be able to find a match.

Thinking about it this way, everyone suddenly realized that the responsibility on their shoulders was also very heavy.

After all, they provided Bao Liang and his friends with a valuable stage to show off.

Without them, who would highlight Xiao Hongchen's heroic figure?

Without them, who would witness Bao Liang's greatness?

Without them, who would witness the conquest of the Meng Hongchen?

Looking at it this way, they are clearly the unsung heroes behind the scenes!

Thinking of this, everyone's gaze towards Bao Liang became more confident and assertive.

Bao Liang was somewhat puzzled by the look of his eyes.

Why are you all looking at me like that?

"Nothing."

Ma Rulong looked away with a serious expression.

"I'm just thinking about how many Gold Soul Coin I should bring tonight to smash the Shrek's face in their face."

Bao Liang: "..."

Good heavens, this team is indeed full of talented people.

After the round of 16, Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy achieved an overwhelming victory, securing a very high ranking.

On the other hand, Shrek's situation was not so easy.

Compared to the relaxed and carefree atmosphere of the Sun and Sun Moon Team, the round-robin matches for Shrek can only be described as brutal.

The lie about Huo Yuhao's six Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring was finally exposed.

Even after displaying the cultivation of Soul Grandmaster, he still deliberately created an illusion, using Simulation to disguise his Soul Ring as two white rings.

What is the true color of Soul Ring?

Hey, I'm not telling you, I'm just playing around.

Every battle Shrek fought in the loop was a true life-or-death struggle.

Despite Ma Xiaotao and her two companions still being injured, they managed to defeat four or five teams with Soul King, despite having a team whose strongest members were only Soul Ancestor.

Shrek's situation only improved after Ling Luochеn recovered from his injuries.

In the final lap race, they finally had an easier time.

With Huo Yuhao's attribute amplification, Ling Luochеn, who possessed Ultimate Ice- level Martial Soul, only needed to unleash one Soul Skill to instantly kill all seven opponents.

Prior to this, apart from Wang Dong occasionally overdrawing his Soul Power with Huo Yuhao, everyone else had been injured at least once.

Several people went straight back to their rooms to sleep after the competition, without even having time to eat.

What grade are they in?

Why work so hard?

This is precisely why Bao Liang dislikes Shrek Academy.

Once you join it, it really will brainwash you.

What glory, what sense of belonging, what dedication to the academy—these are all invisible and intangible titles that are enough to make one feel suffocated.

Then, in some places that have almost no meaning at all, they make the students fight tooth and nail for Shrek.

What's worse, Shrek is also stingy.

Unlike their Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy.

At the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, as long as students don't slack off too badly, they can generally receive academy subsidies.

The harder you work, the higher the subsidy.

It truly embodies the principle that you reap what you sow.

In contrast, Shrek only uses so-called glory and inspirational platitudes to motivate students.

Saying:

"The competition results are not important; what's most meaningful about this competition is giving the children a chance to gain experience."

But once on the field, it turned out to be:

"Go kids!"

"As long as you give it your all and fight tooth and nail in the ring, Shrek's honor will be yours to defend!"

"You are the pride of Shrek!"

Who could possibly resist his precious treasure?

Bao Liang even considered revealing his full strength sooner rather than later, and simply shattering their unattainable championship dream.

This will save them from wasting their time and energy on a championship they can't possibly win.

But then I thought, what does this have to do with me?

I am a pure Sun Moon person.

What reason do I have to empathize with those Shrek Academy fanatics and Celestial Dragons?

Kill!

I want to see rivers of blood!

So Bao Liang began to watch every Shrek game with great interest.

They expressed their admiration for Huo Yuhao and others' attitude of valuing honor over their lives.

Yes, yes, that's great!

Bao Liang clapped his hands expressionlessly.

So please keep up the good work.

Try to get a chance to come to me.

In return, I will show you what true despair is.

In one round of the lap match, the Shrek reserve team narrowly won despite all of its members being injured.

Seeing that public opinion was starting to turn sour, Wang Yan finally stepped forward.

He explained to the outside world why Shrek only had its reserve team participate.

As for why the reserve team suffered such heavy losses, he only vaguely said that everyone was injured while besieging the Evil Soul Master.

It's likely that even Wang Yan himself would be embarrassed to tell the truth.

A group of Shrek Inner Court's elite students, plus a Level 98 Super Douluo as their protector.

As a result, he was blown into the sky by a Soul King Evil Soul Master.

If Wang Yan were to say this in front of hundreds of thousands of people in Star Luo City, he would probably be shot seven times in the back the next day and then judged to have committed suicide.

Shrek would instantly become the biggest source of amusement for the entire continent.

But under Wang Yan's embellishment, Shrek remains the same bright and noble Shrek.

Eradicate Evil Soul Master and contribute to peace on the continent.

Sing praises! We must sing praises to them! We must give them high praise!

Shrek's reputation soared as a result.

At the same time, the paper strength of all participating teams in this competition has been basically exposed to the public.

At the Soul Emperor level, Shrek has two regular members who are still recovering from injuries.

The Di'ao Academy of the Heavenly Soul Empire has a Soul Emperor who wields the Heaven-Shaking Axe.

Apart from that, the strongest members of the other teams are only high-level Soul King.

On the other hand, the Sun Moon Team has a total of four Soul Emperor -level combatants.

Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, Ji Juechen, Ma Rulong —any one of them could be the core of any other team.

Not to mention Bao Liang Soul Douluo with just five rings.

On paper, the Sun Moon Team can crush other teams.

With an ending so predictable that you can almost see the end from the top of your head, I really don't know what Shrek is still burning with passion for.

It's okay, though.

If they're willing to burn, then let them keep burning.

Anyway, it will definitely be spectacular when it finally goes out.
