Chapter 124: Shrek's Challenge

Class Zero saw Shrek resolve the Heavenly Sea students led by a Soul King within a minute, and they were indeed surprised for an instant, but it was only an instant.

Then... there was no then.

They had reached that age; they wouldn't be weaker than them!

Even right now, Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue Na Student are no weaker than them.

The so-called Monster Academy... doesn't seem as strong as they imagined.

"This guy, is he showing off?" Xie Xie had no particular reaction to Yu Longheng's strength, but he frowned at the posture with which he displayed it.

Recalling the gaze Yu Longheng had just cast toward them, Xie Xie felt this guy did it on purpose.

Otherwise, in an exhibition match, why would he need to slap the Heavenly Sea Alliance's face with such a posture?

And it was targeted at them, too...

Thinking of this, as a member of the Heavenly Sea Alliance, Xie Xie also felt some anger.

And on the competition platform, the Referee was equally dumbfounded.

This isn't the same as the original plan, right?

Shrek is so unwilling to give face? Even if they had to lose... they shouldn't lose this tragically.

But the match was already over, the Referee was powerless to reverse it, he couldn't very well step in personally, so he could only announce:

"Shrek Academy wins!"

As Shrek Academy's representative, Yu Longheng elegantly bowed slightly in salute, then led his team members off the stage.

Then... Ye Xinglan turned and walked toward the audience seating where Huo Yuhao and the others were. Seeing this, Yu Longheng's eyes flickered, and he likewise walked over.

The other few members of the Shrek representative team were somewhat confused, but after thinking it over, they still followed Captain Yu Longheng up.

Ye Xinglan's slender neck lifted slightly, like a proud swan. Shrek Academy's Uniform seemed to have plated her with a layer of Halo that made one dare not look directly at her, drawing the attention of the surrounding audience.

Although they had only stayed on the competition field for a very short time, the audience had already deeply remembered them because of the previous battle.

This female student could represent Shrek in an exhibition match at ten years old; her talent was obviously extraordinary.

When she walked up before Huo Yuhao and the others, Ye Xinglan's lips parted slightly, and she said coolly:

"Understood?"

"..."

Xie Xie let out a cold laugh, not in the mood to converse with the other party, and directly mocked: "Understand what? Sorry, I can only understand human speech; I can't understand your words."

Facing Ye Xinglan, he felt he really couldn't calm down.

Hearing this, a cold light flashed in Ye Xinglan's eyes. "I said, after seeing our strength, let you apologize for the matter of previously insulting the Academy's reputation!"

Insult the Academy's reputation?

The Shrek students who originally didn't care about this trivial contradiction all frowned.

Yu Longheng likewise had a flash in his eyes, and the corner of his mouth curved up slightly.

Only Xu Lizhi looked somewhat anxious, wanting to persuade Ye Xinglan, but was frozen in place by a look from the latter.

Xie Xie let out a cold snort. "You speak of strength? Just now lightning filled the arena. May I ask, Student Ye, what did you do on the arena, to be so proud? What strength did you display?"

"Or is it that your so-called defending the Academy's glory is just standing behind your teammates, waiting for others to finish fighting before coming out to swagger?"

This sentence was like a sharp sword, instantly piercing the silence on the scene. Gasps rose and fell from the audience seating.

This Donghai Academy student has a vicious mouth, he really dares to speak.

Those are Shrek Academy's heaven's favored children!

Ye Xinglan's face grew colder. "Strength insufficient, can't see the arena's situation — aren't you the trash?"

With words reaching this step, not only Xie Xie alone, but Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jin Xi also couldn't hold back, about to speak, when Gu Yue Na suddenly stepped forward and spoke:

"Your current words and deeds remind me of the behavior of market riffraff. If Shrek regards bullying with power and distorting truth as glory, then this Continent's number one Academy... is merely so!"

"You!"

Ye Xinglan's Star God Sword manifested with a *clang*, its tip pointing straight at Gu Yue Na. Her fair cheeks flushed red with anger, and two Soul Rings undulated violently beneath her feet.

Huo Yuhao soundlessly blocked in front of Gu Yue Na. His sea-blue eyes were calm as water, yet they caused Ye Xinglan's sword momentum to stall for a moment. "I don't want to repeat my previous words."

Yu Longheng also stepped forward timely, his fingers pressing on Ye Xinglan's sword hilt. His originally elegant and composed temperament turned sharp. His eyes stared fixedly at Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue Na behind him:

"Please watch your words. Shrek's glory tolerates no desecration!"

As his words fell, everyone felt an intangible pressure emanate from the Shrek group.

Xie Xie sneered: "You, a guy who assaults people in public, if you want revenge just say so. You don't even understand the cause and course of events, why bother putting a label on us? Wasn't the lesson of being locked up by the Enforcement Team before enough?"

An exceptionally blunt sentence fell, and the atmosphere on scene became even more subtle.

The audience who had previously seen Xie Xie and the others quarreling with Ye Xinglan now had marvelous expressions.

They had thought it was just that girl and these Donghai Academy students having a conflict; they didn't expect to hear a big melon.

Shrek students were locked up? What did he do?

Seeing the surrounding audience cast their gazes, even the Shrek students looked at him with strange eyes. The flush on Yu Longheng's face couldn't be concealed at all.

How dare he be this direct?!

"Since you think I have no strength, then see you on the arena! I'll use strength to make you remember what words shouldn't be said!"

At this time, Ye Xinglan suddenly spoke, letting Yu Longheng escape from the awkward atmosphere.

"One-on-one. I'll sign up for the solo match. Do you dare?"

"Sorry, we only signed up for the five-person team event." Xie Xie rolled his eyes. "No time to fight you."

Ye Xinglan didn't think deeply, directly saying: "Then five-on-five. Do you dare accept?!"

"Big Sister Xinglan!" Xu Lizhi's face turned deathly pale. "You can't represent the Academy."

Ye Xinglan pursed her lips, didn't speak, just stared fixedly at Huo Yuhao.

Among these people, obviously Huo Yuhao was the Team Leader. And also the strongest of the seven. The one who stopped her before was the other party.

For a moment, the venue fell quiet, and many gazes gathered on Huo Yuhao, waiting for his reply.

Team Leader Yu Longheng, who should have spoken up to stop this, saw the scene and said nothing, allowing matters to unfold.

He... was pleased to see it happen.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao glanced at the six, including Gu Yue Na, and raised his brow slightly.

Apart from Xie Xie and Zhang Yangzi, even the more steady Tang Wulin, Wang Jin Xi, and Xu Xiaoyan did not persuade him, merely raising their heads to watch him, waiting for his reply.

And Gu Yue Na, her face cold...

Though refusing would not draw anything from the crowd, was it necessary at this moment?

Huo Yuhao smiled faintly, ignored Ye Xinglan, and turned to look at Yu Longheng, saying lightly:

"Since you hope for a battle, then as you wish."

The words fell, and Huo Yuhao simply turned around, leading the crowd toward the corridor, leaving only Yu Longheng and the others frowning in silence.

And in the spectator stands, the original low chatter was instantly replaced by a clamor.

They could not believe that these little brats from Donghai Academy had actually accepted the challenge from the Shrek Academy Students.

Did they not watch the match just now?

Those were not opponents they could match!
