Chapter 68 Participation
He glanced at Ye Xinglan and said, "We were just having a casual discussion and didn't mean to slander anyone. Since the teacher has said so, let's just let it go."

"Does it count?" Ye Xinglan wanted to argue, but Shen Yi stopped her with a look.

Shen Yi nodded slightly to Su Qiu: "Thank you for your understanding. I will discipline them properly."

After saying that, she turned to Yu Henglong and the others and said sternly, "Hurry up and go back! If you're late for the exhibition match, see how I deal with you!"

Yu Henglong glanced at Su Qiu with a complicated expression, but ultimately led his team away.

As Xu Lizhi passed by, he secretly gave Su Qiu a helpless look.

Watching their retreating figures, Wu Changkong patted Su Qiu on the shoulder: "Let's go, the exhibition match is about to begin."

Su Qiu didn't move. He looked at Wu Changkong and said, "The exhibition match later will be between them and the previous youth group champion of the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition."

“That’s right.” Wu Changkong raised an eyebrow: “What do you mean by asking that?”

Do you think the Tianhai Alliance wants to win?

Upon hearing this, Wu Changkong suddenly had a bad feeling.

“Logically speaking, the Tianhai Alliance shouldn’t be able to win,” Su Qiu analyzed. “Some people speculate that the Tianhai Alliance deliberately invited Shrek Academy students to show everyone the gap between them and the top geniuses on the continent.”

"But if they knew they would lose, why did the Tianhai Alliance send out the previous youth group champions?"

"Why not find a group of peers? Wouldn't it be more straightforward to have this year's junior champions compete against them at the end?"

Wu Changkong fell silent.

"The previous youth group champion is the strongest card they can play."

"Since the outside world is saying this is an exhibition match to show everyone the gap between us, why play our strongest cards?"

"Therefore, the Tianhai Alliance wants to win, and even wants to win very, very much."

Wu Changkong looked up at the already noisy Soul Arena and asked in a deep voice, "What exactly do you want to say?"

“I can help them win.”

Wu Changkong's expression tightened: "How can you help?"

“It’s simple, let me play.” Su Qiu looked up at Wu Changkong: “As long as the Tianhai Alliance lets me play, they will definitely win.”

"Would they agree?"

Su Qiu shook his head: "As long as the Tianhai Alliance wants to win, they will allow me to play."

Wu Changkong's brows furrowed into a deep frown. He was absolutely certain that Su Qiu alone could beat those seven people to a pulp.

He knew Su Qiu's strength all too well; during their sparring sessions, he could feel Su Qiu getting stronger almost every day.

Unlike the first time, Wu Changkong is now under immense pressure in his battle against Su Qiu, and he is using every trick in the book.

He could sense that if he didn't use his battle armor, he would soon lose to Su Qiu.

“Even if they want you to play, they need a reason.” Wu Changkong’s tone was serious as he glanced at the alliance staff next to the arena. “The list of participants for the exhibition match was finalized long ago, and the promotion was for the previous youth group champions. Everyone knows who they are. Changing people at the last minute isn’t that easy.”

Su Qiu waved his hand and casually smiled, "The reason? It's simple. Just say that someone on the Tianhai Alliance's championship team suddenly fell ill, and I came on as a 'specially invited substitute' to fill in. Anyway, the alliance only wants to win, so they're sure they can pull off this little trick."

Wu Changkong was speechless; it was indeed so.

Su Qiu found Wu Changkong's reaction quite interesting; his expression changed more than ever before. He knew that Wu Changkong didn't want to see Shrek Academy lose.

So Su Qiu went up to Wu Changkong and put her arm around his shoulder, saying cheerfully, "Hey, teacher, don't look so gloomy."

"Anyway, they just apologized, so I don't have to keep chasing after them like this."

"If you don't want Shrek Academy to lose, just let me know, and I won't go."

"All buddies."

Wu Changkong's face darkened, regaining its icy demeanor, and he said arrogantly, "Go if you want. Why are you asking me?" Seeing this, Su Qiu laughed heartily.

"I'll go find the person in charge of the competition right away."

Xie Xie, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed: "Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!"

"Brother Su, you really want to go? This is going to be a fight against Shrek Academy!"

He rubbed his hands together, his eyes brimming with excitement. Just the chance to fight like this, even if he were eliminated and sent home immediately, would make the trip worthwhile!

Xu Xiaoyan covered her mouth, her eyes widening in surprise, her long eyelashes trembling slightly: "Su Qiu, are you really going to go on stage? Shrek Academy is the number one academy on the continent!"

Even so, a gleam of excitement quickly ignited in her eyes. "But with you here, we're sure to win!"

The image of Su Qiujun, who reigned supreme on the Ascension Platform that day, was deeply etched in her heart.

In Xu Xiaoyan's heart, Su Qiu was invincible.

Na'er's beautiful eyes sparkled with anticipation: "I want one too! I want to go too!"

"Where are you going?" Su Qiu didn't go along with Na'er's question. He wanted to enjoy this opportunity to show off all by himself.

Sorry, Na'er. I'll take you next time.

Definitely next time.

"No, no!" Na'er grabbed Su Qiu's arm and shook it from side to side: "I'm very strong, I'll punch them away for you."

Upon hearing this, Su Qiu disagreed even more. "If you knock them all away with one punch, what am I supposed to show off with?"

"What do you mean by 'punch and send'? Girls should be gentle, not so violent."

"Oh." Na'er instantly became obedient, like a lady.

Given Su Qiu's background, it was easy for her to meet the person in charge of this exhibition match.

Although he came from Donghai City, this is Tianhai City. But his public identity, setting aside the usually low-profile Mu Ye, is enough for him to act with impunity in the Federation, considering he's the only relative of Dragon Sparrow Douluo and a disciple of the Saint Craftsman Mu Chen.

The journey to meet the person in charge was smooth and unobstructed.

Inside the office, the governor of Tianhai City rose to greet him.

He wore a warm smile and didn't treat the other person like a child.

He quickly stepped forward and shook Su Qiu's hand: "Young friend Su, I've long admired your name! I didn't expect you to come in person, please have a seat!"

As he gestured to his subordinates to pour tea, he secretly wondered why such important figures as the Dragon Sparrow Douluo's relative and the disciple of the Saint Craftsman Mu Chen would take the initiative to come to his door.

Su Qiu didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point after sitting down: "Do you want to win this exhibition match?"

The governor of Tianhai City's eyes narrowed, and the smile on his face faded slightly, but he still maintained a polite tone: "Young friend Su is too kind. Since it's a competition, naturally no one wants to lose. It's just that Shrek Academy's strength..."

In fact, if he had won, his future career path in the Tianhai Alliance would have been smooth sailing.

He didn't finish his sentence, but the helplessness in his tone was unmistakable. The rumors circulating outside were simply a last resort, a way to prepare for the worst.

"Let me play." Su Qiu interrupted him, her tone calm yet arrogant: "I'll help you win."

"Young friend, you jest," the governor originally intended to politely decline, since the other party was just a child, and no matter how powerful he was, how could he change the course of the battle? But he suddenly stopped.

He stared blankly at the three jet-black soul rings that appeared behind Su Qiu.

At that moment, he seemed to see the light of his future career in the darkness of those three soul rings.

The governor gritted his teeth and took the gamble!
