Douluo Continent: The Evil-Eyed Dragon God, Many Women, Many Blessings

Chapter 529 Representing the Spirit Pagoda in the Battle!
With a helpless smile, Elder Xuan continued, "No matter how the competition rules change, I have confidence in you."

"In the last competition, you managed to win the championship under such unfavorable circumstances. Five years later, you are completely different from before. So what if those sects participate?"

"Although you will encounter many troubles, I still believe that you will eventually win the championship. But have you thought about it? The change in the competition system is a bad thing for the academy, but a good thing for you. The seven of you belong to the same sect."

"Furthermore," Elder Xuan glanced at Huo Yuhao meaningfully, "if I'm not mistaken, the Soul Spirit that Yuhao invented, which you've been unwilling to reveal publicly, is probably because you've been waiting for the opportunity in this competition, right?"

"The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament is already the most watched event on the entire continent. Moreover, this year's competition format has changed, and the number of participants has increased dramatically, making it even more popular."

"To display your souls on such a grand stage, ah, your sect, after this competition ends, you're probably really going to soar to the heavens!"

Elder Xuan stared intently at Huo Yuhao. All of this was told to him by Elder Mu some time ago, and it was also Elder Mu's guess that Huo Yuhao had been keeping a low profile all along.

However, what Elder Mu did not expect was that Huo Yuhao had already anticipated the change in the competition format for this year's tournament!

Upon hearing this, everyone was startled. As lifelong holders of the Shrek Seven Devils title, apart from Huo Yuhao, the others had always naturally regarded themselves as essential members and key players for Shrek Academy in the new competition.

But now that Elder Xuan has said this, things seem a little different!
Xu Sanshi asked in surprise, "Elder Xuan, do you mean we are allowed to represent the Spirit Transmission Tower in the competition?"

Elder Xuan smiled slightly: "It's not that I allow you, but rather it depends on whether you yourselves are willing."

Huo Yuhao was unaware that this was something Elder Mu had actually instructed Elder Xuan about beforehand.

Since Huo Yuhao has such plans, as his teacher, Elder Mu is naturally willing to support his student.

Moreover, even though Huo Yuhao and his group represent the Spirit Pagoda, as the Shrek Seven Devils of this generation, if they shine in the competition, it will naturally be of great benefit to Shrek's reputation.

Given Huo Yuhao's status, it's obvious to anyone with eyes that he has a close relationship with Shrek Academy. Even if they win the championship in the end, it won't affect Shrek Academy's prestige.

Upon hearing Elder Xuan's words, the others' expressions changed, and they exchanged glances.

Elder Xuan said, "If the seven of you participate in the competition under the name of the Tang Sect, then the academy will send another team. But in reality, your title of Shrek Seven Devils will not change."

"In other words, although you represent the Tang Sect, anyone with eyes can see that you come from Shrek Academy. This is equivalent to Shrek sending two teams to participate, which can be considered double insurance."

Bebe hesitated, "But if we win the championship, the glorious legacy that the academy has maintained for so many years will be lost."

Elder Xuan calmly said, "Elder Mu once said that glory should not be a constraint. For the better development of the academy, and for the future of you children, what does a little bit of illusory glory matter?"

"Does this mean that if you win the championship, Shrek Academy will no longer be the number one academy on the continent?"

At this point, Elder Xuan felt a secret sense of satisfaction.

He repeated verbatim the answer Elder Mu gave him when he first raised the question.

After a moment's thought, Beibei said, "If we represent the Spirit Pagoda in the competition, we'll also face some problems. For example, we haven't prepared any substitute players yet." "Also, can the academy send a suitable team?"

Elder Xuan shook his head gently: "You don't need to worry about that."

Elder Xuan glanced at them, his eyes filled with pride: "I admit that your team members this year are indeed the strongest lineup in the history of our Shrek team."

"Putting everything else aside, Huo Yuhao alone is enough to crush the vast majority of participating teams."

"Even if the competition format changes this year and those top sects participate, Huo Yuhao is still undoubtedly the number one in this competition in terms of individual strength!"

"However, our academy is not without other outstanding students besides you. It just so happens that you are representing the sect in the battle, which gives other students another opportunity to gain experience."

"Who on the continent doesn't know your identities? As long as you win the championship, even if they lose, it won't have much of an impact on the academy."

Wang Dong'er, Di Qianqiu, and the others exchanged glances, their eyes gleaming with excitement.

Compared to the academy, they would naturally prefer to represent their sect in the battle!

Although they also have deep feelings for Shrek Academy, the Spirit Pagoda is completely different. It was built by their own hands and developed step by step to where it is today.

In addition to Huo Yuhao, the Spirit Pagoda is not just a sect to them; it is their home!

Everyone looked at Huo Yuhao, their excitement evident in their eyes.

Huo Yuhao chuckled lightly. Did the answer even need to be said?
"We are willing to fight on behalf of the Spirit Pagoda," Huo Yuhao said calmly.

Huo Yuhao turned to look at everyone, his eyes gleaming: "The development of a sect cannot rely on the help of other forces forever. We must make a name for ourselves and display the mark of the Spirit Pagoda. As for the glory of the academy, I don't think it contradicts our representing the Spirit Pagoda in the battle."

"Not contradictory?" Beibei looked at him in confusion.

Huo Yuhao said something in a low voice, and everyone's gazes instantly became confused.

"Protect and protect? You can do that?" Xiao Xiao's eyes widened.

Everyone already understood Huo Yuhao's meaning, but Bei Bei remained silent.

Huo Yuhao looked at Bei Bei's furrowed brows and asked with a smile, "What's wrong, Bei Bei? Do you feel there's something wrong?"

After thinking for a moment, Beibei said, "Yuhao, I know what you mean, but even if we can protect the academy's team and secretly help them eliminate those powerful opponents..."

"However, we can't control the draw. What if they're unlucky and draw a particularly strong team right away? Without enough solid strength, they might lose the game right from the start, which would be too embarrassing for the academy."
