Chapter 210: The Furious Meng Yiran
Yu Xiaogang's departure could not be kept hidden forever.
After learning that Tang San possessed Twin Martial Souls and had already begun cultivating.
Liu Erlong guessed that Yu Xiaogang had most likely gone to Wuhun Cheng to find Bibi Dong.
Although she was very dissatisfied in her heart, this move was ultimately beneficial to Tang San, and even more so to the Shrek Seven Devils.
In the days that followed, the Shrek Seven Devils continued their training under the leadership of Tang San and Liu Erlong.
As time passed and the Preliminary Tournament drew closer, the participating teams from the various competition zones within the Heaven Dou Empire arrived in Tiandou City one after another.
The Promotion Tournament did not allow any spectators to enter, so many who had come to watch the matches had to leave in disappointment.
Of course, the results of the Promotion Tournament would be announced to the entire continent every day. There was no need for these spectators to remain in Tiandou City; it would be better to arrive in Wuhun Cheng early to watch the subsequent finals.
With the competition approaching, the special training for the Seven Treasures Team also came to an end. The remaining time was for everyone to rest well and gather their strength to cope with the upcoming matches.
The Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena had resumed operations since the end of the Preliminary Tournament.
After arriving in Tiandou City, teams from other competition zones began engaging in one-on-one Spirit Fighting at the Great Spirit Arena in advance.
Upon receiving the news, Wu Qi and the others also came to the Great Spirit Arena to observe the situation of their opponents.
"Don't these people know that exposing their own strength before the competition is disadvantageous?" Ning Rongrong couldn't help but ask.
Wu Qi responded with a smile: "It takes about a month for the teams from the various kingdoms and duchies' competition zones to reach Tiandou City."
"Having not made a move for such a long time, they are likely bursting with pent-up energy."
Showing off individual strength would not reveal team tactics, so the leaders of the various teams did not care about this.
Furthermore, would it be that easy to take first place in the Promotion Tournament?
Although these teams did not watch the matches in Tiandou City, judging from the battle reports that had circulated, they were clear that it would be difficult to defeat the major powerhouses of the Heaven Dou Competition Zone.
In this way, a preliminary bout was no big deal.
Wu Qi and the others were not participating in the competition, so they were not sitting in a private box, but merely in the general spectator seats.
Soon, there was a commotion around them.
"Is that Shrek Academy? I heard that the two major events that occurred in the Heaven Dou Competition Zone were both related to them."
"Brother, your information is incomplete. Shrek Academy has the support of an Elder of the Spirit Hall behind them. Their team members killed someone on the field, but they just dragged out a scapegoat to take the blame; the organizing committee didn't even revoke their qualification."
"The Spirit Hall is too overbearing, isn't it?"
"Who's to say otherwise?"
Hearing the commotion, Wu Qi's expression turned gloomy.
Yu Xiaogang had ruined the reputation of the Spirit Hall, and Bibi Dong wouldn't even come out to clarify things.
According to the situation in the original timeline, Yu Xiaogang would definitely arrive in Wuhun Cheng ahead of time.
He could only pin his hopes on the Consecration Hall, hoping they would be able to take some action.
Wu Qi turned his head to look; this time, it was Liu Erlong leading the Shrek Seven Devils to watch the matches.
Yu Xiaogang did not appear.
Wu Qi did not know if the other party had gone to the Spirit Hall or simply didn't have the time to attend.
But given his relationship with Tang San and the others, there was no need to lower himself to ask.
"They're here," Qiangu Changkong said with a gloomy expression.
The Shrek Seven Devils walked past the members of the Seven Treasures Team, and Dai Mubai arrogantly extended his little finger.
Huo Wushuang stood up abruptly, wanting to teach the other party a lesson.
"Brother-in-law, stay calm. On the stage of the Promotion Tournament, there will be plenty of opportunities to teach them a lesson," Feng Xiaotian reminded him.
The actions of both sides quickly attracted the attention of others.
In the spectator seats of the Great Spirit Arena, there were many members of other academy teams, and someone immediately recognized the identities of the Seven Treasures Team members.
"That is the Seven Treasures Team. I heard they set a record of winning every match in the Preliminary Tournament, breaking the record of previous tournaments."
"There are even two Soul Kings in their team. If the Spirit Hall Team doesn't field a stronger lineup than in previous years, I'm afraid they will be defeated by them."
"Heavens, a team with two Soul Kings—I'm afraid they'll win every match in the Promotion Tournament too!"
The teams from the Spirit Hall and the two great empires were all directly seeded into the finals.
While these three teams were certainly very strong, they could not participate in the Promotion Tournament or the Preliminary Tournament, so no one could pose a threat to the Seven Treasures Team.
How could the Shrek Seven Devils not hear the spectators' discussion?
Dai Mubai sneered and said, "Heh, if they knew how powerful Xiao San is, they would definitely shut their mouths."
Tang San stated indifferently, "The ignorant are fearless, that is all. When we reach the Promotion Tournament, everyone follow my arrangements, and we will surely knock the Seven Treasures Team off their high horse."
After learning that Tang San possessed Twin Martial Souls, the confidence of the Shrek Seven Devils soared.
Especially since Tang San's second martial soul was the number one tool martial soul on the continent—the Clear Sky Hammer.
Before long, a delicately dressed young girl came to the side of the Seven Treasures Team.
"Who are you?" Huo Wu looked at the other party vigilantly.
"Meng Yiran, what are you here for?"
How could Ning Rongrong give the other party a pleasant look?
Back in the Star Dou Great Forest, Meng Yiran had caused them no shortage of trouble and had even nearly resorted to violence.
Apologies were unnecessary; Ning Rongrong did not want to see her.
Meng Yiran bit her lip lightly, pointed at Wu Qi, and said, "Come with me for a moment, my grandfather wants to see you."
"What does your grandfather wanting to see someone have to do with us?" Ning Rongrong stood up, hands on her hips, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to; get lost."
"You!" Meng Yiran was about to flare up, but remembering that Wu Qi had yet to state his position, she forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart and looked at him.
Dugu Bo had already made the other party's intentions clear, and Wu Qi did not want to be used by anyone.
Today, if he dared to meet Meng Shu, regardless of whether both sides could reach an agreement, someone would inevitably make an issue of it, and the words spread would certainly favor the Dragon Snake Family.
"Miss Yiran, please return; I have no interest in meeting your grandfather."
"Of course, if the Crown Prince or Ning Sect Master agrees to see your grandfather, I would be quite happy to accompany them."
Meng Shu dared to tease him, but he absolutely dared not offend Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi.
Naturally, Meng Shu had no connection with these two parties, so it was impossible for him to rashly go and make contact.
"Are you unwilling to give my grandfather face? Don't forget, my grandfather is a Spirit Douluo expert; aren't you afraid..."
Before she could finish speaking, everyone in the Seven Treasures Team stood up.
Feng Xiaotian sneered and said, "We don't care what kind of reputation the Peerless Dragon Snake couple has, but from today on, if anything happens to our captain, the experts of our families will strike at the Dragon Snake Family."
Ning Rongrong scoffed, "The Peerless Dragon Snake couple has such great prestige; I wonder how many moves they can last under Grandpa Sword?"
Qiangu Changkong happily remarked, "Then you must not know that the senior Poison Douluo Dugu is a close friend of Brother Wu. Not to mention anything else, how many people in your family can withstand the poison of the Poison Douluo?"
Wu Qi was still a key protégé of the Consecration Hall and was even regarded as a successor to the Consecrations.
To touch him, not to mention becoming an enemy of the entire Spirit Hall, the retaliation of Qingluan Douluo alone was something no one could withstand.
