"Ah, why don't you go up and fight yourself?"
Dai Mubai said irritably after a second upon hearing that.
"Dai Mubai, are you trying to sow discord among our troops?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang asked coldly.
He looked as if someone was challenging his authority.
"Brock, if you have something to say, say it nicely. Why the cold face? Actually, I also think what Mubai said is not wrong. For us Shrek to defeat the opponent in half a minute is already good. Suggesting one second seems like you're just mouthing off in anger!"
Flander spoke up at this moment.
"Mouthing off in anger? Am I just mouthing off in anger? I believe in the children I have taught!"
For some reason, Yu Xiaogang now found Flander increasingly annoying.
Always going against him.
"But you can't just blindly pressure them like this. Look at those people from the Tian Dou Royal Academy. What level are they at, and what level are our kids at!"
Flander said, his irritation evident.
His rationality was the reason he had managed Shrek Academy for so many years.
Now, he felt that it would be quite an accomplishment for Shrek to take second place.
After all, the opponent was really strong.
And Ye Feng was also part of that team.
The opposing team's leader and captain.
Just how strong these people already were, no one knew to what level Ye Feng would be.
"Flander, you are the headmaster of our Shrek Academy. Are you further distancing yourself now? Listen up, everyone. I want you to take down the opponent in one second in the next match. Tang San, if you can secretly use your poison, that would be best!"
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang addressed Tang San.
He believed in his disciples' speed.
If they even used some hidden weapons, he guessed hardly anyone would notice.
Especially those Longxu needles.
Motionless Bright King Zhao Wuji had suffered quite a bit from them in the past.
"Okay!"
Tang San nodded.
If he used his own poison, indeed, it might be possible to achieve one second.
"Brock, you really are—!!"
After hearing Yu Xiaogang say this, Flander was like a person who had just been choked!
The man had really gone mad.
How could he utter such insane words!
At this moment, Dai Mubai didn't want to get involved in their discussion; instead, he looked over at the Tian Dou Royal Academy Team, because Zhu Zhuqing was on the other side!
It hadn't been long.
Had they become so strong now?
It was almost unbelievable.
Seeing the speed with which the opponent had made their moves, Dai Mubai was visibly astonished.
Perhaps joining Shrek had really been a mistake.
Being taught by Yu Xiaogang didn't result in anything substantial.
It was nothing but carrying rocks.
Essentially, apart from getting physically stronger, there hadn't been any other progress.
It was only because everyone was a genius that they could endure Yu Xiaogang's harsh treatment.
If their talents had been mediocre, they would have been ruined by such treatment long ago.
And that was the saddest part.
Even when geniuses are overworked, they're still geniuses.
They just progress slower.
If a genius wasn't overworked but rather nurtured and guided, they would have soared to great heights immediately.
Just like Zhu Zhuqing now.
She used to be one of the worst at Shrek Academy,
Even Oscar's level was higher than hers.
However, now that she had gone to the Tian Dou Royal Academy and been taught by Ye Feng, her level had soared to 49.
She had overtaken everyone from Shrek except for Tang San and himself.
Within Shrek, his Soul Power was at level 58, while Tang San's was at level 60.
Tang San was furiously cultivating out of annoyance.
And so was he.
Furthermore, he had bought many medicinal herbs through various channels in the past six months.
That's also why he had been able to advance so quickly.
In reality, the average level at Shrek was still just at the Soul Sect level.
The highest was Oscar, now a Level 49 Soul Ancestor.
Following him was Xiaowu, a Level 48 Soul Ancestor!
Then came the fatty, a Level 45 Soul Ancestor.
Ning Rongrong was also a Level 45 Soul Ancestor.
As for Tai Long, Level 43.
Jiazhu, Level 41.
Huang Yuan, Level 41.
That was Shrek Academy's lineup.
He and Tang San had indeed advanced a bit too fast.
But the main reason was to fight for some dignity.
And so, during this time, they had argued back and forth.
Even Liu Erlong and Zhao Wuji had run over.
But in the end, it was all to no avail.
"Alright, we'll do as you all wish!"
Flander shrugged and said.
Since the others were so insistent, what could he do?
It's not like he could refuse, could he?
And besides, Yu Xiaogang was stubborn as a mule.
If he didn't agree, it would lead to a quarrel.
Flander was no longer interested in arguing any further.
Now was not the time for quarrelling.
"Hmph!"
Yu Xiaogang snorted coldly on hearing that.
If he had known it would be like this, he genuinely wouldn't have joined this Shrek Academy!
Now he was here, all he got was grievance!
Whenever he tried to do something, Flander would complain and fuss about it.
And he used to be such a good brother back in the day.
What a load of nonsense about brotherhood!
In front of interests, nothing mattered!
"Mubai, get your mind right. You're about to enter the battlefield!"
Flander said.
On the crystal screen, their opponents were Canghui Academy!
This academy is an old and established one.
Even he had heard that Ye Feng had studied there.
"Next, we will announce the match-ups for the second round of the preliminary qualifiers. The first battle is Shrek Academy versus Canghui Academy, the second battle is Xingluo Imperial Academy versus Shenfeng Academy, and the third battle is Thunder Academy versus Tiandou Royal Academy Douluo Team!"
The beautiful hostess announced to the audience.
"Canghui Academy!!"
Upon hearing this sentence, the expressions of everyone from Shrek showed something special.
Originally, they had made enemies with this academy on the outskirts of Aquipeia Forest!
They had not expected to encounter them today!
"Thunder Academy?"
When Yu Tianheng saw this academy, his whole face was full of surprise.
Wasn't this the academy where his cousin studied?
He hadn't expected to come up against them!
"It's a pity we didn't draw Shrek Academy, really."
Dugu Yan felt empty inside as Shrek Academy had just barely slipped by them repeatedly.
But then she thought, the best dishes are always served last.
It's also good to wait patiently.
On Shrek's side.
"Your opponent is Canghui Academy, so I want each and every one of you to muster up your full spirits and knock them out of the ring within one second, by any means necessary!"
At this moment, the Grandmaster told everyone.
He wanted to vent his frustration fiercely!
"Okay!!"
Tang San confidently said.
If it didn't matter what methods were used, he, Tang San, was not worried at all.
Because he had the ability!
"Hmmph."
As for Dai Mubai, he just shrugged his shoulders; he didn't have much to say.
If the Grandmaster's disciples could do it, then all he could say was good luck.
After all, he, Dai Mubai, couldn't do it.
It was simply impossible.
"One second? Instructor, Shrek Academy is up against Canghui Academy, that's bold!!"
"They really think they're the champion team. Canghui Academy is no pushover!"
"No need to think too much, it must be that Yu Xiaogang demanding this. Despite his mediocre strength, he always forces his students to show off!"
The Dou Huang Battle Team members were discussing animatedly.
Ye Feng sat in his chair, watching silently.
Canghui Academy?
If they wanted to win in one second, they had better weigh their options!
At least he believed it was impossible for the other party.
Unless Tang San resorted to special methods!
Even so, Canghui Academy wouldn't let themselves be defeated so miserably.
He was somewhat looking forward to this battle!
On the other side, Canghui Academy!
"Your opponent is Shrek Academy! They claim they'll defeat everyone in one second, what will you do!!"
Ye Zhiqu was infuriated when he heard this!
"Ha, arrogant!"
"One second? I also think it's extremely arrogant. Don't think that just because Master Brother Ye Feng isn't here, we're easy to bully!!!"
Canghui Academy members were brimming with fighting spirit at this point.
The opponents must have thought they could look down on them because Ye Feng wasn't there!
However, Master Brother Ye Feng was their soul!
They were once able to crush the opposition.
This time, even if they couldn't achieve a total victory, they still couldn't afford to lose so disgracefully!
"The match is about to begin, please welcome Shrek Academy and Canghui Academy to the stage!"
The hostess said.
"Canghui Academy will prevail!"
In an instant, the students of Canghui Academy exclaimed!!
Even many others were cheering for Canghui Academy.
Mainly because Shrek Academy was too arrogant.
One second!
What made them think they could?
Do they really think the opponents are Tiandou Royal Academy?
Soon, the battle began!
As expected, Tang San launched his full power right from the start!
But the members of Canghui Academy were no pushovers either.
They took the hits head-on.
After one round of attacks, only two members of Canghui Academy had fallen!
Due to Ye Feng's influence.
This time, the students selected by Canghui Academy were all strong fighters at Soul Sect Level and above!
They were tough to beat!
"Attack!!"
Then, the Grandmaster shouted!!
One second had already passed.
His face was now very grim!
This meant the kids had not completed the task!
"Again!!"
And so, Shrek Academy launched a second wave of attacks!
But Canghui Academy was like the tough-to-kill cockroach!
Standing strong!
"Shrek Academy claims they can win in one second, but it's been a minute and there's still no winner; sigh, this battle is dragging on a bit too long~"
The audience below, who were no slouches either, jeered.
"What a waste! How can it take so long even to deal with Canghui Academy!!"
A minute had passed.
The Grandmaster felt surrounded by jeers.
He burst out in rage.
"Brock, you don't need to be too anxious, it's fine as long as Xiaosan and the others win, don't worry too much about the time!"
Second Dragon told the Grandmaster.
"I've already told them they had to knock Canghui Academy off the stage within one second, and they all assured me they could, didn't they? But now a minute has passed, and that's a serious mistake. Not to mention all the ridicule from the audience, how can you tell me not to worry!"
Upon hearing this, the Grandmaster immediately said to Liu Erlong in exasperation!!
This woman had no idea what he was thinking!
