Douluo: Lin Dong Travels Through Huo Yuhao

Chapter 57: Spare tire becomes spare tire
"Master Mu, don't worry. Once I bring the remaining students back safely this time, I will resign from the position of Elder of Poseidon Pavilion and personally go to apologize to the heads of the various families."

Moon, who was already unhappy, heard Xuan Zi's words, who was drunk, and got so angry that he sat up from the recliner and pointed at his nose and cursed:

"Besides resigning from your position, do you have anything else to say? You said that last time, and you're saying it again this time? Have you ignored all your master's teachings?"

Xuan Zi saw that Moon, who was always calm towards him, was so angry. His originally gloomy face became even uglier. He paused and replied:
"Mr. Mu, this is the best solution I can think of. I can't think of any other solution."

Moon was so angry at his words that he trembled all over and couldn't help coughing:

"Just walking away is your best solution? You think I still have a few years to live, and you want to piss me off to death in advance, right?"

"The most urgent thing now is to deal with the competition. Do you want Shrek's eternal glory to be ruined because of you?"

Hearing what Moon said, Xuan Zi's eyes showed helplessness. With such a big accusation put on him, how could he dare to mention resigning and running away? He then said helplessly:

"So what do you think I should do?"

Moon sighed helplessly. He had no other options for Xuan Zi. After his death, he had to let him protect the academy. He could only whisper:

"You should immediately go to the inner courtyard and find suitable disciples. Take them with you to assist Fan Yu and Wang Yan with all your strength. I want to see how high you can bring the glory of the academy."

Hearing this, Xuan Zi was obviously a little anxious. He didn't expect that the shackles of glory that he used to kidnap the students would be put on himself so soon.

Looking at Moon's attitude, it was clear that he didn't agree with his resignation and insisted that he make achievements. He immediately declined:

"Mr. Mu, I can't do this."

"No need to say more. If this matter cannot be handled well, I will come back and settle all the old and new accounts with you!"

Seeing Xuan Zi leaving, Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but ask:
"Mr. Mu, don't you always think that we are bound by glory? Why do you still ask Mr. Xuan for this?"

"Of course I won't be bothered by this kind of thing, but you should know that Xuan Zi will definitely make all kinds of excuses if I don't bring out a bigger reason."

Looking at Moon En's helpless expression, Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth bitterly. He didn't dare to imagine where Master Xuan would take the academy if Master Mu passed away.

As if he suddenly thought of something, Moon said softly:

"By the way, after the meeting, all inner courtyard disciples must go to the Soul Guidance Department to get at least one flight soul guide and one defense soul guide tailored for them. Anyone who objects will leave the academy."

Seeing his firm attitude, Yan Shaozhe did not dare to refute. After seeing him nod, Moon spoke again:
"Lin'er, after the competition is over, you should send a letter to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy in the name of Shrek, and apply to send our soul guide students to study with them."

Hearing his calm but firm tone, Yan Shaozhe frowned, but Xian Lin'er replied with joy: "Yes!"

"Let's all go..."

Xingluo City, Xingluo Hotel.

"Wang Yan, what happened?!"

Looking at the frightened Fan Yu, Wang Yan bitterly recounted the incident. After listening, Fan Yu sighed with a gloomy face:

"Alas, I never thought that this kind of thing would happen when Master Xuan was leading the team. It's really fate."

Wang Yan looked at the listless students behind him, forced a smile and comforted them:

"Everyone, don't be so pessimistic. With our Shrek's strength, it will be easy to pass the preliminaries as long as we don't encounter any strong teams. The only problem is the number of people." He looked at Fan Yu meaningfully and said softly:

"Those spectators may also be useful. How about calling them over?"

"Aren't there just seven of them?"

Hearing Fan Yu's words, Wang Yan shook his head: "Unless it is absolutely necessary, I don't really want Xiao Tao to play."

Ma Xiaotao on the side said unhappily, "Why, teacher? Ling Luochen and I have both recovered from our injuries. If I go on stage with her, I'm sure we'll have a great chance of winning."

Wang Yan glared at her: "Have you forgotten what I said?"

Ma Xiaotao then realized her mistake. She blushed and shut up, but her eyes were still full of dissatisfaction.

Wang Yan seemed to see his dissatisfaction and explained helplessly:

"I can see that you are in pretty good shape now, but this is my tactic. If we Shrek want to go further, we have to show weakness to the enemy."

The experienced Fan Yu immediately understood Wang Yan's idea.
"I agree with Mr. Wang Yan's idea. Only a few teams can get our entry list at most. As long as we are lucky enough in the preliminaries, it will be enough to send Ling Luochen."

"Well, that's what I think. In order to bring the team to the semi-finals, we have to arrange everything properly."

"Then who should we let fight in Xiaotao's place?"

"I think the best candidate should be Ning Tian. With the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda spirit, coupled with our current lineup, as long as we don't encounter a difficult opponent, there shouldn't be any big problems."

"Then let's do as you say. I'll change those spectators into the college's pre-selected players."

"Well, thank you very much, Director. You will be the one to mobilize the students."

Hearing this, Fan Yu nodded and sighed, "Well, leave it to me. I wonder what kind of students Master Xuan can bring to us from the academy."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Wang Yan's eyes. He no longer had any hope for Xuan Zi. As long as he didn't cause any more trouble, everything would be fine...

"What! We are going from reserve players to pre-selected players?"

Looking at Wang Dong who was yelling, Fan Yu touched his head lovingly, his face looking sad:
"Classmates, Shrek's eternal glory is now handed over to you. You may even have to participate in the competition."

Wang Dong rolled his eyes secretly after hearing this. Isn’t this treating us as spare tires that can be called upon at any time? No, it should be called spare tires!

But Fan Yu was the team leader after all. Shrek's Glory brainwashing technique took effect again. Cao Jinxuan and the others all looked determined. Xie Huanyue spoke first:

"Don't worry, teacher! As long as the academy needs us, we will do our best to fight for the glory of Shrek!"

Looking at the sensible Xie Huanyue, Fan Yu's eyes were inexplicably moist. Yes, this is the glory of Shrek. Shrek's students are willing to give everything for it.

(ps: This is a tribute to the awkward love story of San Shao in the original novel. The protagonist of the competition is Lin Dong, so please be gentle with your criticism.)
How could this not move people? Even if they were just reserve players, they loved Shrek deeply in their hearts. Fan Yu suppressed all the emotions in his heart and nodded heavily:

"You are all good kids. The academy will not let your efforts go in vain. After this competition, the academy will give rewards to everyone."

Wang Dong couldn't help but shudder when he saw the looks of the students around him. The discomfort he felt at the mobilization meeting that day reappeared...
