Chapter 159: Internal Conflict Before the Match, Certain Death

On the training ground, both sides were brawling fiercely, and the watching teachers and students were terrified.

Both sides were attacking very ruthlessly, with almost every move aimed at vital parts.

A watching student couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, what is going on? Are they having an internal conflict?"

How could their teacher possibly know the situation of the Shrek Seven Devils?

"I don't know, let's keep watching."

Just then, a student who had just passed by the conference room whispered, "I just passed by the conference room and heard them erupt into a heated argument. I don't know what it was about, but it looks like there must be a problem within the team."

The only thing Shrek Academy can show off nowadays is the Shrek Team.

With the team falling into internal conflict again, many teachers have gradually lost confidence in the academy.

The number of people in the academy is already small, and such a big commotion spread throughout the entire campus in just a few minutes.

At this time, Flender sought out Zhao Wuji and decided that he would step in to mediate the matter.

Zhao Wuji had just rushed out of the office, but then turned back, "Dean, what about Master and the others?"

Logically speaking, all matters concerning the team are entirely under the responsibility of Yu Xiaogang. With such a big incident, is he really refusing to come out and solve it?

Flender sighed, "Xiaogang is also in a bad mood right now, don't go disturb him. Old Zhao, you go quickly."

After leaving the office, Zhao Wuji sneered in his heart.

He had long known that Yu Xiaogang was unreliable, and it was quite possible that the team's internal conflict had something to do with him.

He also didn't know why Flender had such a mindset, being so submissive to him.

If it were him, he would have kicked Yu Xiaogang away long ago.

Annoyed as he was, the Shrek Seven Devils were the academy's only reliance for a comeback, so he had to step in and handle this.

……

On the training ground.

The last bit of conscience in Tang San's heart kept him from using his Hidden Weapon.

Dai Mubai was already a mid-level Soul Ancestor with extraordinary strength; Tang San's Blue Silver Grass could not bind him.

With Ma Hongjun assisting on the side, the moment the Blue Silver Grass appeared, it would be instantly incinerated by flames.

One must know that the Immortal Herb he absorbed was not the one from the original timeline, and it provided almost no improvement to his Blue Silver Grass.

Ma Hongjun might not be good at dealing with others, but he was very familiar with Tang San and naturally knew his weaknesses.

Tang San knew he couldn't win by force and quickly changed his tactics.

Xiao Wu relied on her teleportation soul skill to get close to Ma Hongjun, and the two wrestled together.

Tang San relied on Tang Sect techniques to engage in close-quarters combat with Dai Mubai.

The exchange between the two sides was very intense, and both were covered in bruises.

Seeing this, Zhao Wuji rushed onto the ring at the first opportunity, separated the two sides, and simultaneously activated his martial soul; his powerful aura forced both sides to calm down temporarily.

"What are you looking at? Get back to class!"

At his command, the watching students and teachers returned to their respective classrooms one after another.

With the irrelevant personnel cleared out, he scanned the two sides and scolded, "Fine, you all have growing abilities, don't you? What, in a few more years, will you dare to tear down the academy?"

Zhao Wuji did not know what had happened, so he could only punish both sides equally to stabilize the situation for the time being.

Xiao Wu was unhappy and said, "Zhao Lao Shi, that fat guy started it on purpose; don't blame us for this!"

Ma Hongjun might not fear Flender, but he definitely feared Zhao Wuji.

After all, Flender mostly taught people with words, while Zhao Wuji used his fists and feet.

He didn't dare to speak up, which instead made it seem like Xiao Wu was being unreasonable.

Before Zhao Wuji could speak, Tang San hurriedly added, "Zhao Lao Shi, no one is wrong in this matter, but Fatty shouldn't have insulted the Master."

Zhao Wuji knew he couldn't favor anyone and scolded, "Alright, all of you get back and rest. We'll talk about everything tomorrow."

"If I find out you dare to fight again, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Both sides had grievances about the matter, but the last shred of camaraderie in their hearts stopped their impulses.

……

Seven Treasure Academy.

In addition to the tactical system with Wu Qi as the core, they also trained tactics with others as the core.

After all, having a few more sets of tactics is always good, at least so as not to expose too many trump cards before the finals.

Right now, they were training with Qiangu Changkong as the tactical core, engaging in team Spirit Fighting against three teachers.

In terms of command ability, Qiangu Changkong was definitely not up to it, so Wu Qi was still in command.

However, all executed tactics were centered on Qiangu Changkong, and even Ning Rongrong's Amplification Soul Skill was prioritized on him.

Don't look at the fact that Qiangu Changkong is only a junior Soul Ancestor now; with the help of his teammates, he was actually handling the Soul King-level teachers with ease, even charging in and out seven times.

Of course, there was an element of the teachers holding back, but the strength of the Seven Treasure Team's coordination could not be denied.

The match ended, and Qiangu Changkong threw a few punches at the air, laughing loudly, "Refreshing, that was truly refreshing!"

"Brother Wu, for the first half of the Preliminary Tournament, let me be the team core, okay?"

Ning Rongrong smiled and teased, "Dad said that if we can advance with an all-win record in the Preliminary Tournament, it will break the record in the history of the tournament, and Dad will also give us rewards."

"And by then, the Heaven Dou Empire will also have rewards for us."

"So, stinky Changkong, you must not lose while leading the team."

Qiangu Changkong scratched his head.

In the team, others might not lack money, but Chen Ping definitely did.

If the prize money slipped through his fingers because of his mistakes, wouldn't that be a huge sin?

Wu Qi smiled, "No problem. Unless we face strong enemies in the Preliminary Tournament, let's use the dual-core strategy. Changkong and Wushuang will both be team cores, and either I or Xiaotian must be on the field to act as a safety net."

Sun Buyu took over the conversation, "Correct, on the basis of ensuring victory, everyone will have the opportunity to perform individually."

"If the situation is unclear, then everything must prioritize winning."

A little later, after summarizing the training, today's training came to an end.

With money, Wu Qi naturally would not be stingy, and every night he would take everyone to high-end restaurants in the city for dinner.

Of course, he was not wasting money because he had too much, but rather high-end restaurants sold meat from high-age Soul Beasts, which, after consumption, would be of great help to a Spirit Master's cultivation.

But when they were heading out today, Ning Tianyu called them to a stop.

"Have you all heard?"

"What happened?" Qiangu Changkong asked.

The others also revealed their curiosity.

Ning Tianyu said with a smile, "The Shrek Academy Team had a fierce internal conflict this afternoon."

There were quite a few students in Seven Treasure Academy who came from Shrek Academy.

Although they had already transferred, they still had many friends at Shrek Academy.

Such a major event as an internal team conflict could not be kept hidden, and it soon reached Seven Treasure Academy.

"Internal conflict before a match, they are truly courting death," Ning Rongrong snorted coldly.

Wu Qi also did not know why they had an internal conflict; strategically, they could overlook the Shrek Seven Devils, but tactically, they had to take them seriously.

One must know, in the original timeline, no one favored the Shrek Seven Devils, yet didn't they end up winning the championship?

Although it was unclear what had happened to the other side, based solely on the abilities of Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, this internal conflict might not be impossible to resolve.
