The Reserve Team's Bleak Future

Looking at this newly formed team, Xu Xingyu felt that the team wouldn't be very harmonious.

Firstly, Xu Sanshi was dissatisfied with the handling of the cheating incident in last year's Soul Fighting Competition, which led to his relationship with Bei Bei not being as close as before, and they even clashed from time to time.

Furthermore, because of Huo Yuhao's past performance and his attempt to kill Ice Empress Xu Yanxue had no goodwill towards him.

Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao were in similar situations; the latter even nearly died at the hands of Huo Yuhao after he went berserk.

Admittedly, Huo Yuhao lost his will at that time and apologized afterwards, but it still left a great psychological shadow on Xiao Xiao.

Given Huo Yuhao's lack of cooperation during the freshman assessment, it would be strange if Xiao Xiao had any feelings for him.

Even without Xu Xingyu, anyone secretly watching could see the discord within this team.

This even led Xuan Zi to consider holding another test to reselect the team members.

However, considering that if this team can put aside their prejudices in the future, there will be almost no one who can stop them.

First, they have Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi as their strongest spear and shield, one Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon with the Golden Dragon Bloodline, and the other having completely mastered the power of the divine beast Black Tortoise.

Furthermore, Wang Dong'er and Xu Yanxue possess extremely strong combat abilities beyond their level. It wouldn't be a problem for them to surpass Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi in five years, given that one has the inheritance of a god and the other possesses the Ultimate Ice.

Furthermore, with Huo Yuhao's extraordinary Spiritual Detection ability providing support, this team would be absolutely unstoppable.

The only two weaknesses are probably He Caitou and Xiao Xiao. One is a Soul Engineer, whose performance is limited in a competition like the Soul Master Tournament, and the other is a Soul Grandmaster with good talent Twin Martial Souls.

Both players are talented, but not irreplaceable.

Therefore, after four rounds of testing, Xuan Zi did not conduct a second selection, mainly because he was afraid of the trouble and most of the reserve team members were children.

Although some conflicts exist, they will find that these conflicts are nothing when they grow up. Once they mature, they will surely prioritize Shrek's glory.

After completing the selection of the reserve team, Xuan Zi officially began to explain the significance of the competition and their tasks to the reserve team members.

Apart from a few who already knew that this was the selection process for the reserve team, the others were extremely excited to learn that they had been chosen for the Soul Master Tournament's reserve team.

Indeed, as a reserve team, they were more like supporting characters selected from the Inner Court's regular members, essentially the contemporary Shrek Seven Monsters.

However, this also implies, in a sense, that they, as the reserve team, will be one of the Shrek Seven Monsters in the Soul Master Tournament five years later.

The First Generation Shrek Seven Monsters faced numerous difficulties in the Soul Master Tournament ten thousand years ago, but they still managed to win the championship despite being underestimated by outsiders, thanks to their own strength.

Therefore, the Shrek Seven Monsters is the most important title in the Shrek Academy, and being called one of the Shrek Seven Monsters is considered the highest honor!

This is also a subtle indication that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, everyone present will definitely become a member of the Inner Court.

Looking at the children who were excited about this, Xuan Zi couldn't help but recall his own youth as a member of the Shrek Seven Monsters, when he was just as excited.

After a period of rest, Xuan Zi told them all to go back and get some rest, and then prepare to let them meet the members of the main team the next day.

The seven selected as reserve team members arrived at the Soul Fighting Arena at the designated time the next day, waiting for the regular team members to arrive.

Little did they know that they were already waiting for the reserve team members, and when Xuan Zi saw that everyone was present, he began to introduce each member one by one.

Huo Yuhao and the others were very curious about what kind of people these senior students who were chosen as the main team members would be, but to their surprise, they met someone they never expected.

That was Xu Xingyu, who was chosen as a regular player.

Everyone present knew that Xu Xingyu was specially recruited into the Inner Court academy after completing a year of study in the Outer Court, but to become Shrek Seven Monsters right after entering the Inner Court?!...

!

Only Wang Dong'er and Xu Yanxue were not surprised by this, since they had already heard about it from Xu Xingyu.

Xu Sanshi, a disciple of the Spirit Contract Pagoda, was only slightly surprised before finding the result quite normal.

He may not know how strong Xu Xingyu is now, but a year ago Xu Xingyu already had the strength to fight against the Soul Emperor, so it's not particularly surprising that she can squeeze into the Shrek Seven Monsters ' team based on her own strength.

Xu Sanshi was somewhat surprised that Jiang Nannan could become a member of the Shrek Seven Monsters. Apart from the things his family had done in the past, he didn't know much about Jiang Nannan, who was the personal secretary of the Pre-Star.

My understanding of Jiang Nannan is that she has good talent, but her combat strength is unknown.

It now seems that Xu Sanshi underestimated Jiang Nannan's potential. No wonder Ma Xiaotao once said that Jiang Nannan had the potential to replace him in the future.

As for the remaining few, upon seeing Xu Xingyu, they immediately assumed that she must have gotten in through connections, otherwise how could she have become a member of the Shrek Seven Monsters so quickly?

After all, people tend to unconsciously believe that if they can't do something, others certainly can't either, which leads to people often unintentionally criticizing others.

But when Xu Xingyu started her introduction after the other senior students had finished, they actually took a step back, making sure to give her some space.

This behavior undoubtedly shows their respect for Xu Xingyu. If even these senior students acknowledge her existence, then did Xu Xingyu really get in through connections?

They had already come up with the answer in their minds when Xu Xingyu introduced herself.

Xu Xingyu calmly said, "Xu Xingyu, a level 51 Soul King, is the captain of the main team."

The captain of the main team! That means Xu Xingyu, in less than a year, became one of the Shrek Seven Monsters through her own strength, gained the recognition of her teammates, and was chosen as the captain!?!?

Is this some kind of insane talent?! This is way stronger than the First Generation Shrek Seven Monsters!?!?

Judging from the respectful manner of those senior students, it's clear that Xu Xingyu earned their recognition through her own abilities and personal charm.

Only in this way would these proud senior students allow a student who is seven or eight years younger than them to be the team leader.

This caused these reserve team members, who considered themselves the most talented in Shrek Academy's Outer Court, to begin to seriously doubt whether they had any talent for cultivation at all.

How come others can advance from high-level Soul Elder to low-level Soul King in just one year of cultivation, while I'm lucky if I can break through three or four levels in a year?
