Chapter 50 Xuanzi: Who Dares to Fight Me?
three days later.
Wang Dong angrily slammed her fist on the bed. She, the little princess of the Haotian Sect, couldn't even become a member of the Shrek Academy's preliminary team!
What's worse, because her position was the same as Dai Huabin's, the academy ultimately decided to only send her, the Lan Susu sisters, Ning Tian, and Wu Feng to the audience as alternative members of the preliminary team.
This was an insult to her. Her current status was nothing more than a backup for a backup. After struggling for three days, Wang Dong, in a fit of anger, realized that he really didn't have any solutions.
However, with Xiao Xiao and others comforting her, she treated it as a temporary escape from this place to clear her head. She didn't care about any of those responsibilities, honors, or other such nonsense.
Recalling the oppressive gazes of the audience around him at the conference that day, Wang Dong couldn't help but shudder and slammed his pillow down.
"Whatever, if he makes me unhappy again, I'll go straight back to Haotian Sect and never come to this lousy place again."
While Wang Dong was frantically engaging in self-pity, Dai Huabin, beaming with delight, gave an order to the man in black beside him:
"Go back and tell Mother that she absolutely must come to watch this Soul Master Competition. If nothing unexpected happens, our family will produce two Shrek Seven Devils after the competition!"
"It's the young master!"
The man in black respectfully responded, his figure slowly disappearing into the darkness. Dai Huabin's smile widened, his tone smug as he said:
"You little bastard, the men your mother sent couldn't even find your body. People are born into different classes."
I'll soon be one of the glorious Shrek Seven Devils, while you're just a lowly servant's offspring. You can only blame yourself for being born into the wrong family!
"Elder Xuan, all the contestants are ready and waiting for your command to set off at any time."
Upon hearing Wang Yan's words, Xuanzi took a sip of wine, ate a bite of chicken leg, and laughed heartily:
"Good, well done. This time, Shrek Academy will easily win the Soul Fighting Tournament again. With me personally leading the team, there's no way anything could go wrong."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yan's expression stiffened, as if recalling something from long ago. However, given the disparity in their status, he did not show it, but simply bowed and flattered him:
"Of course, you are a level 98 Super Douluo. With you here, no villain would dare to cause trouble."
However, Xuanzi seemed to have heard this kind of talk too many times and didn't react much, just muttering while gnawing on a chicken leg:
"Alright, I got it. Go tell them to get ready to leave. As for those people in the audience, don't let them come with us. Their talent isn't worth my attention."
A hint of displeasure flashed in Wang Yan's eyes, and after a moment he struggled to say:
"But Elder Xuan, those students are also quite talented. Why don't you take them along as well? It won't take much effort anyway."
Xuanzi rolled his eyes and gave a disgruntled snort.
"If someone's talent isn't that good, it's bad for Shrek Academy. Besides, if I bring along a few more people with average talent, wouldn't I have to eat a few more chicken legs? I don't have that many in stock."
"But Elder Xuan..."
Seeing that Wang Yan still wanted to persuade him, Chicken Leg Douluo waved his hand impatiently:
"Alright, alright, stop standing around. It's settled then. Get the team members ready. I don't like waiting for others."
Wang Yan could only sigh in frustration and leave first. With Elder Xuan's stubborn and self-willed personality, he had a feeling that something big was going to happen in this competition!
When Wang Yan led everyone to the scene, Xuanzi was already fast asleep, clutching a wine jug. Wang Yan tentatively spoke up to remind him:
"Elder Xuan, the students are all ready. Shouldn't we set off now? We were already delayed by three days because of your decision, and our soul tools aren't as fast as those of the Sun and Moon Sect. What do you think of this timeline..."
Elder Xuan then snapped out of his daze, clicked his tongue in annoyance, and waved his hand dismissively, saying:
"What's the big deal? I'll just hurry up later."
Dai Huabin hadn't interacted with Xuanzi many times. Looking at this unreliable and slovenly old man, he couldn't help but frown, thinking to himself:
I have a feeling this old man isn't very reliable. I guess I'll have to remind my older brother later to be careful about the decisions he makes.
After Xuanzi's near-mad rush, the Shrek Seven Devils couldn't help but vomit by the riverbank. Xuanzi, still holding his wine gourd, laughed and said:
"With such poor physical abilities, how can you uphold the honor of Shrek Academy? I only made a slight move, and you couldn't even handle it?"
After everyone finished washing up by the river, they ate some dry bread while watching Xuanzi, who was eating a chicken leg and drinking wine, making sarcastic remarks.
Even Wang Yan, who is usually good-tempered, couldn't help but curse inwardly, but since he had already introduced himself before the flight, no one dared to raise any objections openly.
After everyone's condition improved somewhat, Xuanzi saw that the time was right, clapped his hands, and shouted loudly:
"Come here, everyone, I have something to say."
After a long, boastful explanation of the honors symbolized by the inspection team and an introduction to the tasks to be completed, Xuanzi confidently looked at everyone and smiled:
"So, do you want this honor bestowed upon you by the academy or not?"
Dai Huabin broke the silence first: "Elder Xuan, shouldn't our task now be to get to the competition as soon as possible and make full preparations? Why are we wasting time here?"
Xuanzi seemed surprised that anyone would question his decision, and immediately his face turned cold as he said:
"What I just said was all for nothing? This is Shrek's honor and reputation, and you actually say it's a waste of time?!"
I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.
Seeing this, Dai Huabin did not answer, but frowned and softened his tone slightly:
"I'm just worried about that evil spirit master's schemes and tricks. If something goes wrong, who will bear the consequences?"
Xuanzi sneered upon hearing this, a wrinkle appearing on his aged face as he confidently declared:
"Young man of the Dai family, I remember I've already introduced myself. Are you still questioning me?"
Seeing the look in his eyes, Dai Huabin hesitated for a moment, and Wang Yan quickly stepped forward to smooth things over:
"Alright, alright, everyone, don't worry. With Elder Xuan here, what could possibly happen? No matter how powerful that evil soul master is, he's just a Soul King. There's nothing to be afraid of."
When everyone saw Wang Yan speak, they could only nod and accept the so-called glorious mission of the Shrek Supervisory Group.
On the Sun and Moon side, Jing Hongchen, in order to take special care of the pre-selection team members, could be said to have controlled the flying soul tool to the extreme.
With Lin Dong occasionally showcasing his culinary skills along the way, the journey was quite comfortable for everyone.
However, upon arriving at the Mingdou Mountains, a man who appeared to be an officer approached Jing Hongchen, bowed to him, and whispered a few words in his ear, seemingly discussing something…
