Chapter 217: The Good Show Begins
With just this one strike, Ge Zishu was forcefully defeated!
Just as Xiao Xiao wanted to retract the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron, the referee suddenly appeared in front of Ge Zishu and opened a Protective Barrier, clearly worried that Xiao Xiao would follow up with a finishing blow.
After confirming that Ge Zishu had lost her combat ability, the referee then spoke: "Feiyun Sect's Ge Zishu has lost her combat ability, Tang Sect wins!"
Upon hearing the referee announce the result of the match, the members of the Feiyun Sect scrambled to carry Ge Zishu back.
Ge Zishu's injuries were mostly caused by the backlash force of her own soul skill being forcibly interrupted; as for the severity of the injuries, it depended on how much soul power she had used at the time.
Xiao Xiao was relatively kind-hearted and did not strike too heavily, which was why Ge Zishu's injuries were not severe to a certain degree.
Watching Xiao Xiao's brilliant performance, He Caitou, who was off the stage, also proudly cheered Xiao Xiao's name.
The subsequent matches also lost their appeal, because the strength of the Feiyun Sect members who came up next was not as good as Ge Zishu's, and Xiao Xiao fought them with extreme ease. However, Xiao Xiao did not continue to fight; after three matches were finished, she handed it over to Jiang Nannan to take over.
Xiao Xiao's fighting style could not be called very flashy, but it was this simple offense and defense that left Ge Zishu restricted at every turn. The reason for this was that Xiao Xiao's martial soul was too special; if she had encountered an opponent like Jiang Nannan, it would probably have taken some effort to fight.
In the subsequent matches, Jiang Nannan did not show the slightest mercy. After finishing three matches, she immediately changed people, switching to Wang Dong'er.
Wang Dong'er was still dressed in men's clothing because she also knew how lethal she was when she returned to women's clothing, but Wang Dong'er was Wang Dong'er; as soon as she entered the arena, she drew cheers from all the female spectators, and she could only shake her head helplessly at this.
Watching this scene, Huo Yu Hao and Bei Bei both couldn't help but laugh out loud. Tang Ya also smiled and said: "Wang Dong is Wang Dong after all, always unexpected yet within reason. It really is a bargain for that guy Su Yu..."
"The one getting the bargain is naturally me, could it be you instead?"
A familiar voice rang out behind the group. Huo Yu Hao widened his eyes in surprise, and Bei Bei also looked at the newcomer in astonishment.
"Class Monitor!"
"Su Yu!"
"Su Yu..."
A series of titles rang out, and Su Yu nodded habitually.
"Weren't you in seclusion? Why have you come out now?" Jiang Nannan asked with some curiosity.
Su Yu spoke unhurriedly: "Today is Dong'er's match, after all. Cultivation is nowhere near as important as Dong'er."
"Then what about your cultivation? Once you miss that opportunity, I'm afraid I don't know when the next time you'll want to break through to Level 60 will be." Huo Yu Hao was a bit worried about Su Yu's situation.
Su Yu stepped forward and patted Huo Yu Hao on the shoulder, smiling: "Don't worry, don't worry about my situation. How did your match turn out?"
Having been in seclusion for several days, Su Yu also wanted to know how the current competition was going. Although he could ask others, it was ultimately better to ask the people involved directly.
Bei Bei actually wanted to complain to Su Yu, but after thinking about it, he held it back: "Actually, it's fine, it's just that the Sun Moon Battle Team is a bit tricky. We encountered the academy's team once, but to avoid a situation where both sides were injured, we conceded. The opponents we've met now aren't hard to fight; the hard ones are the next round and the quarter-finals. If there are no accidents, we will likely encounter the Holy Spirit Cult and the Body Sect in the quarter-finals, as well as the Sun Moon Battle Team and the academy's team. I'm not sure about the other teams, but there are a few teams that are also very powerful."
Su Yu looked at Bei Bei's facial expression as he tried to hold back his complaints, and Su Yu smiled: "Birds must always fly alone. I know that my not participating in this tournament has brought you many difficulties. However, you must know that you represent not only the Tang Sect, but also the honor of the Shrek Seven Devils. Once, I was able to lead you to victory from the hands of strong enemies; now, you should strive even harder instead of always relying on me. Bei Bei, Huo Yu Hao, you two lack tempering. In all fairness, you are more suitable to be captains than I am. This time is your stage, so I believe in you, and please believe in yourselves."
Looking at the group's
expectant gazes, Su Yu knew that his departure had indeed left them feeling as if they had lost their backbone. Who would have known that the infinitely glorious Shrek Seven Devils of the Inner Court were always relying on one person to grow.
A team needs a spiritual leader, and Shrek's spiritual pillar was Su Yu.
However, fate decreed that Su Yu would not stay at Shrek Academy forever, because he had his family, and he also had his own path of cultivation to walk.
"I understand, thank you, Su Yu." Tang Ya gathered her courage and stood in front of Su Yu. "Su Yu, I am very grateful for everything you have done for the Tang Sect. We won't blame you for everything now; you have your own hidden difficulties, so we believe in you. Likewise, we also believe in ourselves."
Looking at the determined appearance of the Tang Sect members, Su Yu nodded with satisfaction, then said nothing more.
Following Su Yu's gaze, the group gathered their eyes on the competition arena. Wang Dong'er's fighting style was extremely flashy, whether it was the person or the martial soul. If it weren't for the Feiyun Sect disciple on the opposite side desperately reminding himself to stay calm in his heart, he would have been cleaved down by Wang Dong'er's guillotine strike long ago.
Unfortunately, this Four-Ring youth from the Feiyun Sect did not create a miracle and still suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Wang Dong'er. Regardless of the outcome of the match, the liveliness of this match had long exceeded the referee's imagination. As for the reason, everyone actually had an idea in their hearts.
The match ended, and the Tang Sect won completely. As the Feiyun Sect, who knew that those who submit to circumstances are wise, they conceded very decisively.
After the match, when Wang Dong'er returned to where the Tang Sect was located, there were two more people there.
Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen.
"You two... how come you are here?" Wang Dong'er looked at Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen in confusion, completely unaware of Su Yu standing at the back of the crowd.
Xiao Hongchen sneered: "Don't misunderstand, I'm not here to find you. The one looking for you is her."
As he spoke, Xiao Hongchen turned his body sideways and pointed with his chin at the infatuated Meng Hongchen.
Before Wang Dong'er could walk into the crowd, she was enthusiastically pulled aside by Meng Hongchen, who began chatting about domestic trifles.
Regarding his younger sister, Xiao Hongchen only felt that she had truly lost all the face of the Hongchen Family. If it weren't for the worry that something might happen to Meng Hongchen, and he didn't want Meng Hongchen's affairs to be widely publicized, he wouldn't have followed her here.
"You two, long time no see." A familiar voice reached Xiao Hongchen's ears, and he turned around in some confusion.
Xiao Hongchen followed the voice and saw Su Yu standing quietly on the spectator stand. "Indeed, long time no see."
"Su Yu, you're back!" Wang Dong'er also heard Su Yu's voice and left Meng Hongchen behind, quickly rushing to Su Yu's side.
Su Yu reached out and patted Wang Dong'er on the shoulder, saying: "Just came out of seclusion, I suppose I gained a little."
…………
"Captain, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen went to where the Tang Sect team is. You say, should we also go and join in the fun?" Leiqier gave a cheeky smile, his meaning obvious.
Luo Yu didn't say much and asked Jing Peng: "Jing Peng, you tell me, if you were the captain, how would you handle this now?"
"Ah, this, this..." Jing Peng was stunned and didn't react for a moment.
Lu Jiuyu then spoke: "Actually, it's not that troublesome. Since the two of them went, I think it would be better if we all went. After all, the biggest backbone of the current Shrek, oh no, it should be the Tang Sect Battle Team, Su Yu, is not here."
"Jing Peng, I'm asking you, what are your plans?" Luo Yu looked at Jing Peng quietly, waiting for his answer.
Jing Peng was a steady person, but his temperament was also too steady. This steadiness might be a good thing if it were on Lu Jiuyu, but it might not be a good thing on him.
"Let me think..." Jing Peng frowned, clearly not knowing whether to go or not.
"Stop thinking. If you keep thinking, the opportunity will be gone. Let's go and see. By the way, call those three guys too." Luo Yu knocked on Jing Peng's head, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this guy
was a blockhead.
"Fang Wei, Sheng Hongyun, Yan Lingshu. You three stop spacing out, the captain said it's time to go." Leiqier excitedly called the three who were still meditating one by one.
Fang Wei rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked at the excited Leiqier with blurry eyes: "What is the captain doing? Didn't the Hall Master tell us not to act rashly?"
"You don't know anything. If I tell you to go, you go. Where did you get so much nonsense? If you don't get up, I'll carry you over."
Before Fang Wei could get up, Leiqier's tall, fierce figure, like a giant bear among men, pounced on Fang Wei.
"Leiqier, I'm not finished with you! Help..."
Fang Wei was so frightened by Leiqier's actions that he scrambled away, fleeing all the way behind Luo Yu under Leiqier's 【redacted】; seeing Fang Wei's disheveled clothes and the lecherous grin on Leiqier's face, everyone tacitly kept their mouths shut.
"Oh..." Yan Lingshu stretched, her light purple long dress accentuating her proud figure; her eyes were ethereal and pure, and she possessed a soft, beautiful face, with every movement appearing as fragile as if she could be blown over by the wind, stirring pity in others.
"Captain, can't you let me sleep a little longer? In order to listen to your tactical arrangements and get your autograph, I put in all my effort to memorize your plan."
Yan Lingshu looked at Luo Yu with resentment and reluctantly arrived in the conference room.
Hearing this, Lu Jiuyu curled his lips, "Who doesn't know that you, Yan Lingshu, are notoriously lazy? Your words can only ever be half-believed. I dare say you definitely didn't spend the night memorizing the Captain's plan, but rather staring at the Captain's autographed photo all night."
Speaking of this, Lu Jiuyu only felt that he should have condemned this gluttonous, sleepy, and infatuated lazybones even more severely.
