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

Every spectator who watched the game was filled with doubt.

At the same time, Beibei and the others also hung their heads, their legs felt as heavy as lead, and they didn't even dare to look up at the countless disappointed eyes below the field.

It was enough to suffocate them.

Wang Yan sighed deeply as he watched this scene.

Helplessly, she covered her face.

If Beibei and the others could have followed up Ling Luochen's ultimate skill after the match started, everything would have turned out well. But perhaps because of their arrogance and Ling Luochen's confidence, they lost this opportunity.

Even if everyone tried their best afterwards, they could not achieve the desired results.

Beibei and the others are very strong; compared to others of the same level, they can be considered to have crushed everything in their path.

But the opposing team had too many tricks up their sleeves. They never thought about winning; instead, they just wanted to stall for time, using every second they could. They also used all sorts of disgusting low-level soul tools.

What should have been a ten-second match was dragged out to more than a minute.

Even to the audience, it looked like a back-and-forth fight...

This not only completely shattered his original plan, but also exposed Shrek Academy's original problem, causing it to lose its original advantage: mystery.

When this veil is completely lifted, it means that Shrek Academy may not go far.

"..."

"I'm sorry, Teacher Wang Yan, we..."

Beibei said sadly.

"It's alright, it's alright..." What could Wang Yan say at this point? Blame the unconscious Ling Luochen for acting on his own initiative? Or blame everyone for not doing their best?

He could only suppress his anger and pretend to be nonchalant while comforting her.

……

Inside the hotel.

"No, let me play next time!"

Ma Xiaotao said angrily.

"Just burn them all to death! Wipe them all out! Only then can we bring honor to Shrek Academy. This is too frustrating!"

"Xiao Tao, if you don't listen to orders, you can go back to Shrek Academy on your own." Wang Yan was also angry.

"Your evil fire is already difficult to control. Once it erupts, coupled with your severe injuries, you won't even be able to control it yourself and will need external intervention. At that time, the outside world will see Shrek Academy as all show and no substance, and our true nature will be completely exposed to the outside world! That's when things will really get out of hand!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Ma Xiaotao turned her head away, her face full of resentment and frustration.

“Actually, I think there was something wrong with today’s match.” He Caitou remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking.

“Caitou…” Wang Yan looked at He Caitou, who was usually taciturn, with surprise.

Beibei, Xu Sanshi, Ma Xiaotao, and others also looked over.

He Caitou looked conflicted, then let out a long breath, seemingly relieved.

"Actually, I am a citizen of the Sun Moon Empire..."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

“Caitou, you…” Beibei was even more dumbfounded. Although the news was shocking, what was the purpose of revealing her identity at this time?

"Let's talk about today's match. Don't you guys think there's something off? The entire opposing team was equipped with soul tools, specifically defensive soul tools designed to resist cold. Judging by their quality, they could withstand Senior Sister Ling's fifth soul skill, so they must be at least level five or higher. Logically speaking, for this academy, it would be impressive if they could even produce one level five soul tool, let alone seven in a row? And they're even [useless] soul tools, only effective against ice? Isn't that a bit too extravagant?"

"This...you mean someone is targeting Shrek Academy?" Wang Yan's eyes narrowed sharply.

Everyone was startled.

He Caitou is right. How could they run into such a coincidence?

"Caitou, please continue." Wang Yan's expression gradually became serious.

It would be quite normal if some powerful force were to target them.

After all, the interests involved are too great, and Shrek has made many enemies over the years. If things really get out of hand, even if he gets involved, he will be instantly crushed to pieces.

“Phew… This brings me to my identity as a member of the Sun Moon Empire,” He Caitou said with a wry smile. “Just now, I saw a figure in the Sun Moon Empire team, Xu Cheng. Perhaps you haven’t been familiar with the internal affairs of the Sun Moon Empire in recent years, but he is almost a household name in the Sun Moon Empire.”

"As a prince, with the Holy Spirit Cult and most of the military standing behind him, if there is no mistake, he will definitely be the one to ascend the throne in ten years. What is even more terrifying is that he is probably not a pawn, a pawn that the Holy Spirit Cult and other forces are fighting over, but the one who is holding the game behind the scenes."

He Caitou looked up to the sky and sighed.

"For someone with no maternal family background and seemingly no one to rely on to have slowly reached this point, how terrifying do you think his methods and strategies must be?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

Wang Yan narrowed his eyes, "Caitou, you mean..."

“That’s right,” He Caitou smiled bitterly, “If it’s him, then everything makes sense. With the Sun Moon Empire’s soul guidance technology, creating seven soul tools overnight should be a piece of cake. And only the Sun Moon Empire could do that. But what chills me to the bone is that he actually guessed that Senior Sister Ling Luochen would fight with injuries in the first battle. It’s simply…”

As they spoke, everyone's throats bobbed.

He looked shocked.

This Xu Cheng is truly a prodigy...

Ma Xiaotao gave a soft hum.

“Those petty strategists who only know how to use tactics, wait until I make my move and I'll roast them to a crisp in no time... Oh, sorry, Caitou, I wasn't implying anything about you.”

He Caitou's lips twitched, and he sighed helplessly.

"Senior Sister Xiaotao, you might not have heard me clearly. Not only is he cunning, but his strength is also far superior. It is said that half a year ago, he defeated a level seven Soul Master in public..."

"That level seven soul master is said to be a regular member of the team that represented the Sun Moon Empire in the previous competition."

Everyone: "..."

Ma Xiaotao coughed awkwardly twice and whispered, "It's just a level seven Soul Master, I can do that too..."

"understood."

Wang Yan exhaled a deep breath.

"In that case, I will immediately report to Shrek Academy and ask Elder Xuan to come and oversee things. After all, if it involves the Holy Spirit Cult, it might also implicate the previous..."

"You mean?!!"

"Yes, that is, the matter of the Mingdou Mountains..."

P.S.: He Caitou knew that this information was obtained by him, as a royal descendant, from encountering someone who had once been loyal to the royal family...

I'm taking a day off; I'll update tomorrow.

Something urgent came up. There will be a 10,000-word update tomorrow. Thank you for your understanding. <(__)>

Chapter 89: The Shrek Seven Devils, watching the battle from a distance using a telescopic soul tool.

"Alright, everyone, disperse. Cai Tou, come with me."

After saying this, Wang Yan left in a hurry.

The group exchanged bewildered glances.

"How about... we go for a stroll on the rooftop? Although Teacher Wang Yan doesn't agree to Ming Daming watching the match in the rest area, it wouldn't hurt to watch the battle, right? Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle," Xu Sanshi suggested.

“Sure, but it’s a bit far…” Beibei said in silence.

The hotel is at least a kilometer away from the center of the stadium. Although you can see a lot from there, what's the point of watching a bunch of little black dots fighting each other?

"I have a telescopic soul guide here. It can adjust the distance from one kilometer away, even three kilometers away, allowing me to observe as if I were there myself. The principle behind its manufacture is simple, but I didn't think about all that when I went out, so I only brought two with me..."

Upon hearing this, He Caitou, who was about to leave, took out two two-tube-shaped soul tools, handed them to the group, and then left.

"Great stuff!" Xu Sanshi exclaimed, delighted with the item.

"Senior Sister Xiaotao, Senior Brother Yueheng, are you going?"

“We won’t go. It’s more important for us to recover from our injuries as soon as possible. Besides, Xiao Tao needs to take care of Luo Chen,” Dai Yueheng said with a gentle smile.

Come to the top floor.

Almost all of the reserve teams have reached their expiration dates.

Beibei, holding the binoculars, narrowed her eyes: "It's actually a Soul King! A Soul King has appeared so quickly."

Dai Huabin was also full of surprise: "Judging from this, it seems to be the Sun Moon Empire team?"

"Let me see it quickly," Xu Sanshi said impatiently. Bei Bei handed him the iron box, her expression slightly grave.

"Holy crap! Everyone here is a five-ring Soul King? If we run into them, we'll be dead in an instant!" Xu Sanshi was dumbfounded.

"In the group stage, the winner is determined by points. Even if we are grouped with them, we will have one round of leeway to see if we can hold out until Senior Sister Xiao Tao and Senior Brother Dai Yueheng recover," Xiao Xiao said helplessly.

"Oh, that guy named Xu Cheng also showed up in this match!" she exclaimed in surprise as the binoculars were handed to Wang Dong.

"..."
