Chapter 93: The Two Sides Meet, Yu Xiaogang's Obsession

The second match was Shrek Team versus Nebula Academy Team.

However, after the battle, they achieved victory under the leadership of Tang San.

"Is this team the one trained by that Master Yu Xiaogang, the one rumored to be from the Golden Iron Triangle?"

In the viewing stand, Emperor Xue Ye also became curious.

Since they could not get the Phoenix Seven Girls to join the imperial family, they set their sights on this Shrek Academy Team.

In any case, both sides were playing a game of chess right now.

First, have people join Phoenix Academy to learn skills, ideally securing a chance for their martial soul to evolve into a Phoenix.

Second, attempt to win over excellent academies like Shrek Academy Team to join the imperial family and serve it.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ning Fengzhi had observed the entire process; although Tang San was particularly eye-catching, he was still far inferior compared to his own daughter, so he did not think that highly of Tang San, and consequently, he did not think that highly of Shrek Academy Team either.

"If not for Phoenix Academy Team, perhaps Shrek Academy Team would be the biggest dark horse of this tournament," Ning Fengzhi murmured.

"Oh? You think that highly of them?" Emperor Xue Ye was somewhat surprised.

"Intuition, I suppose. Although Shrek Academy Team is not as good as Phoenix Academy Team, the quality of their team is still very high, and their overall strength is not bad," Ning Fengzhi said. "It's a pity."

There was one more thing he did not say: if not for the interference of Ma Hongjun, his own daughter, Ning Rongrong, would have gone to join Shrek Team.

However, now that there was a more excellent Phoenix Academy, she naturally would not choose Shrek Academy.

The competition continued.

The winning teams would fight again tomorrow.

Every Preliminary Competition had many people; just in the Heaven Dou Empire division alone, there were over a hundred Advanced Spirit Master Academies that had to compete.

The scale was huge.

The other divisions might have fewer, but it was still a massive undertaking.

Inside the room.

The Phoenix Seven Girls asked, "Principal, how was our performance?"

It was as if they were seeking praise.

Ma Hongjun smiled and said, "Very good. Instant victory, stunning the entire audience—that is the result I wanted. Next, let this matter spread slowly and ferment."

"Go relax today and stroll around Heaven Dou City."

Ma Hongjun decided to give these seven young girls a break.

"Oh yeah, we can finally have a break!"

The girls laughed and left the room one after another.

Outside, Meng Yiran did not go; instead, she planned to practice hard and quickly catch up to the pace of her six sisters, otherwise, her pressure would be immense.

The six sisters also understood her hidden bitterness; joining Phoenix Academy and becoming one of the Phoenix Seven Girls also meant immense pressure. If your cultivation could not keep up, they might not say anything, but that person would actually feel very uncomfortable inside, and the pressure would be great.

Thus, Meng Yiran directly used Phoenix Transformation to return to the academy and utilized various equipment to practice diligently.

"Teacher, you're back." On the way back to Lanba Academy, Tang San and the others encountered Yu Xiaogang, who was also returning from the Spirit Hall.

Yu Xiaogang nodded and asked, "Xiao San, how was your match?"

"The first match today, we won very easily," Tang San said as such.

"That's good." Yu Xiaogang revealed a trace of a smile.

However, Tang San still saw a trace of desolation from the depths of the other's eyes.

Tang San did not understand why this was.

But there were too many people, so he did not ask further.

The group chatted while walking.

When Yu Xiaogang learned that the first team to appear was Phoenix Academy, and that they had won with an absolute crushing instant victory, and learned of the terrifying combat power of the opponent's six Soul Kings and one Soul Ancestor, he was instantly shocked, his entire person numb.

"Six Soul Kings, one Soul Ancestor!"

"And they are students of an academy! They are all children only in their teens!"

"What kind of concept is this!?"

Yu Xiaogang widened his eyes, thinking to himself, extremely shocked! Is this the terrifying cultivation capability of Phoenix Academy?! He felt somewhat unconvinced in his heart. His most hated enemy actually displayed such terrifying cultivation power; to him, this was also a form of indirect humiliation and threat!

"If you encounter Phoenix Academy Team, just forfeit directly," Yu Xiaogang thought for a moment and said.

After hearing this, the seven members of Shrek Team were very unhappy inside, but they also understood that the gap in strength between the two sides was truly too large.

"If we don't fight a match, we will never know the result. What if we can win? Even if we can't win, we can still bite a piece of meat off them and let them know we aren't to be trifled with!"

"Otherwise, if we just forfeit as soon as we meet them, others will only look down on us even more!"

Within the team, the hot-headed Linghu Shi stood up directly to express his opinion.

Everyone was stunned.

Looking at him, it seemed to make sense.

Yu Xiaogang was very unhappy and annoyed by this kind of contrarian who loved to show off and boost his own face.

I took a lot of frustration from Bibi Dong's side; do I have to take frustration from you here too?

"Do you think I am harming you?"

"If you want to fight, you can, then wait until everyone reaches the Soul Ancestor level before trying!"

"Don't get yourselves injured and be unable to participate in the later battles! That would be a loss for the entire Shrek Academy!"

"This is our first time competing; we must not be eliminated so quickly!"

Yu Xiaogang said angrily.

He also had his own plans.

He could not let a little brat mess them up.

Upon learning that Yu Xiaogang was angry, Linghu Shi also shut his mouth.

The others dared not say anything more.

However, Linghu Shi felt very annoyed and disdainful toward Yu Xiaogang in his heart: A piece of trash who couldn't even break through to level thirty, yet he dares to lose his temper with me here, hmph! If it weren't for the sake of Tang San, I would have slapped you across the face first! Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Yu Xiaogang was finally satisfied.

He led the team and walked toward Lanba Academy.

It was also at this moment that they encountered the six women of the Phoenix who were out shopping.

The moment the people from the two teams met, sparks quietly ignited.

After brushing past each other, the six women of the Phoenix did not take the people from Shrek Academy seriously, still carrying large and small bags in their hands, chatting and laughing.

However, the members of the Shrek Team could not remain calm.

Especially Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, for they had a deep feud with the entire Phoenix Academy.

"Such a strong aura, and this was just a single encounter."

Everyone took a deep breath, looking extremely grave.

Suddenly, Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists, thinking that this might be his best opportunity.

He intended to take a gamble.

"You all go back first, I still have matters to attend to."

He did not want the others to see this scene; after saying this, he turned and entered the small alleyway nearby.

"Xiao San, aren't you going to follow him?"

"I feel that Master's departure has something to do with Phoenix Academy."

Xiao Wu said.

Tang San thought for a moment and nodded: "You all go back first, I will follow and take a look."

"Alright, you two be careful."

After speaking, the others also left.

However, this was Heaven Dou City, at the feet of the imperial city of Emperor Xue Ye, so no one should be bold enough to cause trouble.
