"good!"

Xuanzi extended his left hand and slashed down! With a muffled groan, his right little finger snapped off.

Faced with this scene, the other elders and the four deans remained silent.

Only after glancing at the severed little finger did Elder Mu say, "Your punishment ends here. Now, you return to Star Luo City. If anything unexpected happens along the way—Xuanzi! I'll hold you accountable!"

"Yes."

Xuanzi stopped the bleeding from the cut.

But just as he was about to leave, he gritted his teeth, turned around, and asked, "Elder Mu, what about the candidates for the competition—"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe immediately became restless.

"Yes, teacher!"

"What about this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament? They simply can't hold on."

"How about we urgently recall those inner court disciples who went out to perform surveillance missions and are still of age to meet the competition requirements? Although their abilities are somewhat inferior to those of the regular team members, they will still be a powerful asset and should be able to win the championship."

Yan Shaozhe's view was the same as Xuanzi's, or rather, the views of the elders and other deans present were also the same.

Everyone agreed that the most pressing issue now was to defend Shrek Academy's honor and not allow other academies, especially the Sun Moon Royal Academy, to take the championship.

"Yes, Elder Mu," Xuanzi said, "It's still not too late to summon them back now and take them over. After all, with Xiaoyuanzi and the others' strength, they should be able to hold their own in the early stages of the competition."

"No! Let the children do it themselves."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Moon's eyes. But this disappointment was directed at Yan Shaozhe and the others.

"teacher!"

Yan Shaozhe panicked!

"This concerns Shrek's glory for ten thousand years—"

"That's enough!"

Seeing that this spineless fellow still hadn't grasped the essence of the matter, Mu En's anger, which had just subsided, was reignited by Yan Shaozhe. "Just for so-called glory, are we going to abandon the mission of the surveillance team? Just for so-called glory, are we going to abandon those civilians who might be being harmed?"

"Yan Shaozhe!" The moment Mu En called out his full name, Yan Shaozhe's body trembled violently!

"Do you even know what Shrek Academy's true glory is? Is it really something you gain or lose by winning or losing a single match?! Shrek's glory is earned by the children of the inner court! Those heroes! They gave their lives for it!"

"Our Shrek Academy's glory lies in the knowledge and legacy left to us by our ancestors, in the academy's flourishing branches and leaves, and in its students and former students spread throughout the world! As the dean of the Spirit Master Department, your job is to cultivate Spirit Masters, not to be as calculating as a businessman!"

"If you can't even understand this—" Moon paused slightly, his emotions turning calm. "Then you should resign from your position as dean and stay in the Sea God Pavilion to spend these last moments with this old man."

"teacher--"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe trembled violently. But Mu En closed his eyes slightly, not wanting to say anything more.

Seeing this, Xuanzi opened his mouth as if to speak, but then stopped himself.

Fortunately, after Old Master Song noticed, he quickly waved to Xuanzi and said, "Aren't you tired of this mess?" to make the guy who had caused such a big trouble leave and head to Xingluo City.

After Xuanzi left, none of the elders and deans dared to leave.

On the other hand, Yan Shaozhe was also sent away by Cai Meier.

The latter was worried that if her husband stayed there, he might upset the teacher and cause her serious illness, which would be terrible.

With the two worst guys gone, Moon has a bit less to worry about.

He slowly opened his eyes and looked at Zhuang Yusen.

"How are the six children?"

"The situation is indeed not good."

Mentioning Chen Zifeng and the others' injuries, Elder Zhuang's brows furrowed. "The assessment Xuanzi brought back from Yuan'er is indeed accurate. A full recovery without any future complications will certainly not be an easy task."

"There's nothing easy about it."

Moon decisively ordered, "The academy will provide all the treasures for restoring spiritual power. Also, prepare a suitable ten-thousand-year-old skull for each child as compensation."

"This one"

Not to mention the senior elders, even the two deans of the Soul Guidance Department, Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er, thought the compensation was far too heavy.

"What? You think it's heavy?"

Moon glanced at them. "Just the fact that these kids were willing to risk their lives to stand in front of the reserve team kids makes this compensation well worth it!"

"And another thing—" he sighed, "the oversight team failed to investigate properly, which led to the children facing a Title Douluo-level evil soul master directly. It was our oversight."

Upon hearing this, the elders and deans all spoke up, and their words conveyed the same message: the real oversight was that Dai Hao and his team, who provided the intelligence, had actually missed a Title Douluo, an evil soul master.

But Moon stopped him very quickly.

He didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore.

He then turned to Elder Zhuang, "How is Yaoheng doing?"

Old Zhuang shook his head. "Given his condition, it's good enough that he's alive. It's a pity—he'll probably never wake up again."

"I see—"

Mu En sighed, "In that case, let's return the Key to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. Also, tell them what happened, and offer some compensation as well. After all, the child has come to this."

"Yes."

"Oh, and don't forget about Xiaotao."

As the elders and deans departed, Moon pushed his wheelchair to the window.

Looking at the vast Poseidon Island, he suddenly recalled the moment when he wanted Xuanzi to take Liu Yuan to obtain the soul ring, and a sense of emotion and belated relief rose in his heart.

Luckily, I listened to Yuan'er's advice back then.

otherwise--

唉—

Xuanzi, you're really unreliable. But you can at least protect Yuan'er, right?

Achoo!

Liu Yuan suddenly sneezed.

A sense of doubt arose in my mind.

No one's going to talk about me, is there?

But soon, that thought faded away.

Sit up straight and continue the meeting.

That's right!

After Ma Xiaotao woke up, Liu Yuan and the others had already arrived in Xingluo City and checked into the Xinghuang Hotel.

Right now, they are all gathered in the conference room.

-

The purpose was to discuss tactics for the first round of the competition. After all, the very beginning was a seven-on-seven team battle.

Where were we?

Liu Yuan asked this question.

"Tell me how to fight."

Wang Dong'er leaned close to his ear and whispered something.

"right."

Wang Yan feigned calmness, wearing a gentle smile.

Actually, I was panicking like crazy!

Xiao Tao has woken up, but there are bound to be some aftereffects. She needs to rest properly before she can play again.

"In my opinion, perhaps—"

"Maybe I should just go on!"

Before Wang Yan could finish speaking, Ma Xiaotao slammed her hand on the table and stood up, "Although I can't go all out, defeating my first opponent is more than enough for me. Because they won't be too strong."

"this--"

Wang Yan hesitated for a moment.

As Ma Xiaotao said, Shrek Academy's opponent in the first match won't be too strong, and it certainly won't be a clash between top academies. After all, the organizers need to make money and create hype. If they're really unlucky and several important academies finish their matches first, what's the point of the rest?

But after thinking it over, Wang Yan still rejected Ma Xiaotao's suggestion.

"No."

"Xiao Tao, you should focus on healing your wounds."

He then looked at Liu Yuan and Di Qiu'er.

Are you confident?

Don't worry.

Liu Yuan nodded slightly, "We are fully confident, whether it's the first round of elimination matches or the second round of group matches."

With their innate martial soul weapons and the strength of their martial souls and attributes, Liu Yuan and Di Qiu, at almost their full strength, could contend with a Soul Emperor like Dai Yueheng. Even in their normal state, they could easily suppress a Soul King.

As long as the opponent is not the royal academy of the four great empires, or more specifically, not Star Luo and Sun Moon.

Then——

Individual combat?

Liu Yuan and Di Qiu'er could almost sweep them aside.

223?

If Liu Yuan and Di Qiu'er each lead one group, the chances of winning should be around 70%.

Team fight?

It might even be more likely to win than a 2-2-3 format.

"well--"

Wang Yan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"With you saying that, I can rest assured."

Since the previous matches went smoothly, the later matches should go even more smoothly.

In Wang Yan's view, it wouldn't be long before Elder Xuan would arrive with his inner courtyard disciples to provide strong reinforcements!

Afterwards, Wang Yan adjourned the meeting. He needed to relax his tense nerves.

By the way, I should clear my head.

After all, he can't play, and he can't hold the kids back. Gathering intelligence, organizing data, and devising tactics—he can't let the kids worry about that.

After leaving the conference room, Ma Xiaotao blocked Liu Yuan's path, her eyes gleaming. "Xiao Yuan, are you sure you don't need me to go on stage?"

"Call him Junior Uncle."

Seeing that this guy still had the leisure to correct her address, Ma Xiaotao rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Fine, fine, Junior Uncle," she said, dragging out the last "Uncle." After she finished speaking, she went straight back to her room, intending to take the time to rest.

Because she could see that not only was Liu Yuan confident in his leisure time, but the other members of the reserve team did not have the worries she had expected. Instead, they all trusted Liu Yuan and Di Qiu'er's strength.

Since that's the case, is there anything more she needs to say?

If you believe them, you're doomed!

"Leave the first match to me."

After Ma Xiaotao left, Di Qiu'er said this.

"Qiu'er, the first match is a team battle."

Di Qiu'er tilted her head: ? ? ?

and then?

Is there anything different?

If she's not very strong, what difference does it make to her between seven and one? Aren't they all just one punch each, like a little baby who likes to sleep quietly?

"—So you guys just stay here and watch the show."

Beibei and the others: "————"

Babies who like to sleep quietly? Isn't it too hurtful of you to say that about your opponents?

"hehe"

Liu Yuan chuckled lightly, "What I mean is, in a team battle, I'm the most suitable person to take action. If they're all Soul Masters, one move is enough."

Beibei and others:

It seems to have hurt them even more.
