Chapter 252: 271. Shrek's Division
After the opening ceremony ended, just as the Starfire team was about to leave, they saw the members of Shrek Academy blocking their path.
"Excuse me, do you have any business with us?" Mu Yuanfang said.
Tang San said, "Tomorrow happens to be the match between our two teams. It's a good opportunity to wash away the shame from back then all at once."
"Oh~" Lin Chen suddenly realized: "You're that Shi-something Academy."
"It's Shrek!" Dai Mubai said loudly: "Shrek is a kind of temperamental monster."
"So, are you saying you're not human, but a group of monsters?" Luo Xingqi said smugly.
Oscar shouted loudly: "Hmph, that's right, we are a group of monsters. Starfire team, two years ago we lost to you. Tomorrow, we'll make you know that we're no longer the Shrek from two years ago."
Zhao Hengning laughed: "Oh, so you're saying you're very brave. Then tomorrow, we'll wait and see."
There was almost a spark of gunpowder between the two teams, but both sides had an unspoken understanding and did not start trouble at this moment.
At night, Shrek held an internal mobilization meeting. After Flender spoke, it was Yu Xiaogang's turn.
Yu Xiaogang stood on the stage, his hands clasped behind his back, his eyes revealing the vicissitudes and wisdom of a middle-aged man. He didn't mind at all the faint disdain in the eyes of the Shrek Eight Monsters below the stage. He said indifferently: "Little monsters, being your leading teacher and training you to your current level fills me, Yu Xiaogang, with deep pride. One minute on stage, ten years off stage. Your efforts over these years have been seen by me, Yu Xiaogang. You have not let down my cultivation and guidance. Tomorrow is the opportunity to prove yourselves."
"Your first match opponent is the Starfire team that once defeated you."
Next, Yu Xiaogang suddenly took out a drawing from somewhere. The drawing had some messy curves on it, and then he began to spout his crooked theories: "Two years ago, the Starfire team's strength was generally at the Soul Elder level. Based on the information we've collected about their ages, martial souls, and soul ring configurations, plugging them into the martial soul cultivation curve created by your master for prediction..." (Bla bla bla, omitting tens of thousands of words.)
"It can be determined that the Starfire team's current strength is a full Soul Elder team, with the highest possibly having two members exceeding level 45, and the rest below level 45." Yu Xiaogang's voice was calm, revealing a smugness in his "vast knowledge."
The Shrek Eight Monsters listened to Yu Xiaogang's words and felt drowsy. After it ended, their minds were still a mess, only feeling "It sounds like it's really impressive and awesome."
"This team's strength, while there is pressure to win the championship, is also a potential contender for the championship." Yu Xiaogang said: "Meeting them in the first match, little monsters, this is your challenge and your opportunity. Use your strength to prove to the world what you're capable of." (At the same time, it will also be the starting point for me, Yu Xiaogang, to become famous, Yu Xiaogang added in his heart.)
So everyone applauded enthusiastically.
Flender stepped forward and said: "Alright, Little San, tomorrow's personnel arrangement and tactical planning will be left to you. I have only one requirement: win a beautiful victory tomorrow and make a name for our Shrek monsters."
Tang San nodded and said: "Dean, I guarantee I'll give you a satisfactory answer."
Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and the other teachers then left.
The room was left with only the Shrek Eight Monsters and their substitutes. Tang San's gaze swept over the other seven monsters and the substitutes, and he said: "Tomorrow, it will be me, Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Ning Rongrong, Huang Yuan, and Tai Long on the field. The battle plan is as follows."
As soon as Tang San finished speaking, Yu Tianheng stood up and said: "Hold on, Ah San, what do you mean by this? What about me, Xiao Wu, and little brother Er Ming?"
Tang San said coldly: "Tomorrow, you don't need to play. We on the field are enough to handle the opponent!"
Tang San didn't want Yu Tianheng, Xiao Wu, and Er Ming to play together out of his own selfish reasons. He didn't want to see Xiao Wu intimately performing a martial soul fusion technique with another man. If possible, Tang San would rather bench Yu Tianheng and Er Ming for the entire match from start to finish, never giving them a chance to play. As for not letting Xiao Wu play, Tang San had his own plans. In future matches, he would arrange to go on stage with Xiao Wu himself. But for now, let Xiao Wu watch her Brother Ah San's heroic figure from the sidelines.
As long as tomorrow's match is won beautifully, little sister Xiao Wu will surely be deeply attracted to me, Tang San thought happily in his heart.
"Hmph, you say it so easily." Yu Tianheng said: "Ah San, the Starfire team isn't an ordinary team. Last time, because I couldn't perform the martial soul fusion technique with Xiao Wu, you lost to the Starfire team once. Are you planning to lose to them again and bring shame to our Shrek Academy?"
Before Tang San could speak, Dai Mubai couldn't sit still. He said: "Yu Tianheng, aren't you just saying that last time we lost to the Starfire team because you couldn't perform the martial soul fusion technique with Xiao Wu?"
Er Ming said: "Dai Mubai, isn't what Tianheng bro said correct? Last time, it was because you deliberately arranged the lineup without letting Xiao Wu play that led to Shrek's humiliating defeat."
Oscar said: "Hmph, the past is the past, now is now. Last time was our mistake, this time there won't be any mistakes. I believe under Ah San's leadership, we can definitely achieve victory and wash away the shame."
Both sides began to draw their swords, tense. At this moment, Xiao Wu stood in the middle of the two groups and said loudly: "Alright, stop arguing."
Instantly, the scene quieted down, and everyone's gazes turned to Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu looked at Tang San with innocent eyes and asked: "Brother Ah San, why won't you let me play with Tianheng or little brother Er Ming? If we play together, with our martial soul fusion technique, we can definitely win very easily."
Tang San looked at Xiao Wu, and in his heart, he wailed sadly: You've even started calling him Tianheng.
But looking at Xiao Wu's innocent eyes, Tang San couldn't muster any blame in his heart. Perhaps, in Xiao Wu's heart, she just thought her relationship with Yu Tianheng was purely a martial soul fusion technique, and it was that dog Yu Tianheng who was coveting this pure Xiao Wu. It must be like that.
After comforting himself, Tang San explained:
"Little sister Xiao Wu, actually, I think your martial soul fusion techniques with Yu Tianheng and Er Ming can be saved for the end. That's our trump card; it's better not to let too many opponents know about it. Besides, I don't think all members of the Starfire team will necessarily play." (Of course, if we can never use it, that would be the best.)
