Douluo Continent II: You're an evil spirit master, but also a philanthropist?

Wang Yanqiang sent a smile.

In reality, Yan Shaozhe's letters to him were far from what they seemed.

The meaning is clear: even if we all fight to the death, we must get into the top four!

Otherwise, hmph...

But he understood how difficult this was.

In reality, regardless of whether he can squeeze in or not, as long as he fails to win the championship, he will ultimately bear the blame and may even be remembered as a villain in the history of Shrek Academy for eternity!

The Sea God Pavilion kept Xuanzi's deeds a secret, but when later generations turned the pages of history, the first page, specifically the year he led the team, would feature a striking detail...

Not only did no students come, but not even one of the other team leaders showed up?

Heh, which hothead would dare to come at this time and share the blame with him?

But life must go on no matter what...

Wang Yan sighed softly.

"Xiao Tao, how long will it take you?"

"About a week, I'll be able to play in a week," Ma Xiaotao said through gritted teeth.

“Your injury won’t heal in a week…” Wang Yan shook his head helplessly.

"I'm all better now! Teacher Wang, this is the eternal honor of Shrek Academy students!" Ma Xiaotao, sitting in her wheelchair, was almost jumping up with excitement.

"Shut up! I'm the teacher in charge!" Wang Yan couldn't take it anymore and glared at him angrily.

Chapter 85 Xu Cheng: Want to make a splash in the first battle? Dream on!

"Xiao Tao, Teacher Wang Yan is right, you won't get better in a week."

The room was silent.

As one of only two Soul Emperors, Dai Yueheng acted as a peacemaker.

"Moreover, if you can't exert the absolute dominance that a Soul Emperor should have when you go on stage, you won't be of any help. Instead, it will allow other academies to see our true weakness and cause us to lose our advantage."

"At this point, our only advantage is mystery and the unknown. Once even this advantage is exhausted, we will not be far from elimination. As Soul Emperors, we are the backbone of the team. If our strength is exposed too early and the enemy studies us thoroughly, how can we compete for the top four, or even win the championship in the finals?"

"..."

These words pulled Ma Xiaotao back to reality from her excitement.

It's like a bucket of cold water being poured over your head.

Wang Yan glanced at Dai Yueheng in surprise, not expecting that Dai Yueheng, as the vice captain, would step forward at such a critical moment.

“Teacher Wang, please tell me about your tactics,” Dai Yueheng said gently.

Wang Yan also quickly followed suit.

"Yueheng, how many weeks will it take for your injuries to heal?"

At the same time, she gave him a grateful look.

“Similar to Xiao Tao, she can play in a week and a half, but it will take about two weeks to recover to her full provincial level,” Dai Yueheng pondered.

"Phew, a little over a week is enough." Wang Yan took a deep breath.

Look at everyone.

"Yueheng is right. Our only advantage right now is the unknown. With the glorious achievements the academy has made over the past ten thousand years, we are mysterious and invincible in the eyes of others. They would even tremble involuntarily if they stood in front of us!"

"So, taking advantage of this, our current strategy is simple: stall! Stall until our two Soul Emperors recover their fighting strength!"

"In the first round of the knockout stage, if we can get through this first round, we've already won half the battle. The next stage is the group stage, with a points system, which gives us a lot more room to maneuver, so..."

Wang Yan looked around.

"Ling Luochen, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, He Caitou, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, and... Xiao Xiao, prepare for tomorrow's elimination round. According to the draw I drew, tomorrow is the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy. According to my information, there are five Soul Masters and two Soul Venerables. In the first battle, we must achieve a crushing victory!"

"Hehe, such a weak team, we'll finish the battle in no time!" Beibei said with a chuckle.

"Yeah, you guys don't even need to go on stage. Just me and Senior Sister Ling working together, we easily swept through the entire arena," Xu Sanshi said smugly.

"..."

The atmosphere in the room instantly became lively.

Only Wang Dong looked around.

silent.

……

"What! Shrek Academy has gone too far!"

Sun and Moon Empire Conference Room.

Old Ma was so angry that his hair stood on end, and he slammed his fist on the table.

"Old Ma, what is this...?" Ma Rulong and the others looked bewildered.

"Hmph, the registration deadline just passed, but Shrek Academy only sent ten people! Seven of them are under fifteen years old, and two are even twelve! Does he think he can easily win the championship with this lineup? Ridiculous!"

Old Ma glared and puffed out his beard.

"Please don't be angry, sir."

"Damn it..." Old Ma turned around and saw it was Xu Cheng. He sat on the bed and said leisurely, but he could only swallow back the curses. "Your Highness, they are slapping you in the face!"

Xu Cheng: “…”

"Alright, I'll show you something, and you'll all understand." Xu Cheng smiled and took out a recording crystal, projecting it onto the wall of the room.

Half an hour later.

Ma Rulong stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"So, this evil spirit master group wiped out the entire Shrek Academy squad? What was that Shrek Academy powerhouse doing? He couldn't even catch up with this evil spirit master..."

There were so many things to complain about that he didn't even know which one to criticize.

The Shrek Academy's main team, with two Soul Emperors and five Soul Kings—the pinnacle of their strength—was wiped out with a bang!

Can you believe this?

If it weren't for the video evidence, people would laugh at him, saying he was an idiot.

"..."

Then came a silent stillness.

Old Ma silently walked to the balcony, lit a cigarette, and felt a pang of existential doubt.

The team members also felt that their values ​​had been turned upside down.

"No, so what's the next step?"

Lin Xi's lips twitched.

"Is there still a chance to win?" Mika breathed a sigh of relief.

Even with a few exceptional players on their side, facing such a formidable lineup, they still felt considerable pressure.

but now……

I thought the opponent was so arrogant that they didn't take anyone seriously and that the championship was within their grasp.

Unexpectedly, the main force was killed off prematurely.

Ma Rulong stealthily glanced at Xu Cheng.

He naturally knew this person's identity: the Holy Son of the Holy Spirit Church.

Unexpectedly, this person was the truly ruthless one, who ambushed the enemy halfway through the journey. A mere fifth-ring evil soul master wiped out the entire Shrek Academy regular team...

No, are all evil spirit masters this perverted?

"What's next?"

Lin Xi asked cautiously.

"Mr. Ma, who did they draw for their first elimination match?" Xu Cheng asked casually.

“Yes… Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy, an academy under the Douling Empire, has only five Soul Masters and two Soul Venerables. Even if Shrek Academy is weak, it shouldn’t fall into their hands,” Elder Ma said immediately.

He had studied Shrek more thoroughly than anyone else.

"Hehe, Shrek Academy is definitely thinking of putting together their full lineup to start the battle with unstoppable momentum, but how could I let them have their way?"

Xu Cheng grinned.

"We can't eliminate them in the first round of the knockout stage, but we can still manage to annoy them."

"Laugh, are there any defensive soul tools that can counter ice-type attacks?"

"Hehehe, how could there not be? Even if there weren't, I'd create a few array cores on the spot!" Xiao Hongchen said excitedly.

"Okay." Xu Cheng smiled.

"Send someone to deliver it to them."
