Peerless: I Became Huo Yuhao's Dark Personality

Chapter 52 Yan Shaozhe: I have a plan

Shrek Academy.

Yan Shaozhe stood beside Moon En, his face anxious. "Teacher, I just counted and there are only two people in the inner courtyard who meet the age requirement. However, they are both auxiliary spirit masters. Do you want them..."

"No need for that. Let those little guys play freely in this competition." Sitting on the recliner, Moon had a calm expression on his face, in stark contrast to Yan Shaozhe's mood.

"Teacher, the Soul Fighting Competition is no joke. Their average cultivation level is only Soul Master. We can't give up Shrek's thousand-year glory just like that!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe's expression became more impatient, and there was even a hint of dissatisfaction with Moon in his eyes.

"Glory, glory, what magic does it have that makes you so obsessed? Shaozhe, not only you, but also them, why do you care so much about this so-called first place?"

Moon's eyes were extremely cloudy, like a dying man, but even with such eyes, Yan Shaozhe didn't dare to look directly at them.

"Teacher, your great reputation spanning ten thousand years cannot be destroyed in an instant!"

Yan Shaozhe didn't understand what was wrong with his teacher. Shouldn't it be normal to pursue excellence? Why did he always ask such strange questions?

"Shao Zhe, I remember I taught you a long time ago that for some things, it's not that we possess them only when they arrive. Instead, we already possess them, and their arrival is just a formality.

Glory and fame, it's not because they created Shrek Academy, but because Shrek Academy represents them."

"Teacher is right, but the reserve team, as the representative of Shrek, carries a lot of pressure that they can't handle at their age. If they develop any negative influence, it will be extremely detrimental to their future development."

Seeing that Moon started preaching again, Yan Shaozhe knew that his explicit approach wouldn't work, so he simply started with the future of the reserve team.

"Shaozhe, you say you agree, but your heart doesn't agree. You're still a little short of the mark..."

Seeing that Yan Shaozhe was still stubborn, Moon couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he didn't continue to persuade him.

If it were when he was younger, he would definitely continue to persuade Yan Shaozhe when he was over a hundred years old, but as people live longer, their hearts seem to change and they look at problems differently.

"No need for that. Having pressure isn't a bad thing. Let's not even talk about support. Falling from a height isn't pleasant, but it's better than being smashed to pieces."

"is teacher."

Seeing that Moon looked like he didn't want to bother with him, Yan Shaozhe felt annoyed, but he didn't dare show it, so he just bowed and said goodbye.

However, Yan Shaozhe did not leave the Poseidon Pavilion, but changed direction and continued to move forward. When he reached the end, he raised his hand and knocked on the wooden door.

"Come in." An unclear voice sounded, and Yan Shaozhe pushed the door open and walked in. Just by listening to the voice, he knew what the other party was doing.

Sure enough, Xuan Zi was still the same as always, happily eating the chicken drumstick that he could never finish. When he saw Yan Shaozhe, he looked very surprised, "What's wrong, Shaozhe?"

You old Deng, are you still eating? Yan Shaozhe cursed in his heart. If it weren’t for the other party, he wouldn’t be so upset. The championship of the competition was originally a foregone conclusion, but in the end, this kind of mess happened.

"Master Xuan, the teacher doesn't allow the inner courtyard students to support, saying that he wants the reserve team to play freely." Yan Shaozhe looked worried.

"What? How can those little guys defend Shrek's Glory?" Xuan Zi was horrified and didn't even have the mood to eat the chicken leg.

"So, I would like to ask you to go to the Xingluo Empire and tell everyone that Shrek lost the competition for the sake of peace on the continent. Do you understand what I mean?" Yan Shaozhe's eyes were firm. Shrek's glory could not be lost. If they could not get the first place, then let this matter be exposed and let others get the first place in disgrace.

As they were all veterans in the martial soul system, Xuanzi instantly understood what Yan Shaozhe meant. With thoughts racing through his mind, he immediately came up with an idea.

"No problem, I'll leave right away. Xingluo's current situation is thanks to the help of Shrek Academy, so you should give us some face."

Shrek represents the conference area.

"Teacher Wang, did you ask us to come here because there is any news from the academy?" Beibei looked at Wang Yan with anticipation. He could be said to be a direct descendant of Shrek, and he had a great obsession with continuing the honor.

"There's no news from the academy yet, but it should be soon."

Wang Yan pretended to be relaxed, but he felt a huge pressure in his heart. After walking around, he did get some news, but without exception, they were all bad news.

"What should we do if we meet a strong veteran team tomorrow?" Xiao Xiao looked bitter and worried.

"Classmates, there's no need to be so nervous. Have you forgotten? You are students of Shrek Academy, and the most core group of disciples."

Seeing that everyone was infected by Xiao Xiao's discouraging words, Wang Yan hurriedly comforted them, saying that low morale was a big taboo before a war.

"Teacher Wang, can Shrek's students achieve the goal of Soul Master defeating Soul King and Soul Sect defeating Soul Emperor?" Wang Dong smiled bitterly, with no fighting spirit at all.

Wang Yan secretly groaned in his heart. He didn't know what was wrong with this class of students. They didn't have any youthful passion at all, and they all saw things too clearly.

"Teacher Wang, please tell me about the competition." Beibei spoke in time to stop the situation from developing further. If they continued to talk about the issue of strength, they might not even be able to get through the first round, let alone glory.

“Yes, yes, the competition format of this competition is relatively simple, consisting of three main parts: elimination round, round-robin, and elimination round.

Among them, losing in the knockout stage means direct failure, but in the round-robin stage, you can strategically admit defeat.

The final elimination round has a special system, so let's get through this first." Wang Yan felt uneasy. With the reserve team's strength, he felt they might not even make it through the round-robin tournament.

"Tomorrow is the first round of the knockout stage. Don't worry too much. The top 16 teams in previous tournaments will never meet in the first round. This is to ensure a relatively fair competition.

Our opponent is most likely just a Soul Sect-level team, which will be relatively easy for you.

Don't underestimate yourselves. We have two twin martial souls in our team, and we also have martial soul fusion skills. We are no worse than others!"

Wang Yan kept a relaxed smile on his face, but in his heart he was secretly praying that they would not meet in the first round of the top 16. However, the bad news was that the proportion of Soul King teams was too high.

As the champion of all generations, Shrek has always disdained to pay attention to the information of ordinary colleges, and basically only pays attention to the royal colleges of the four empires.

This also caused Wang Yan to become more and more frightened when he was investigating the information. With the cultivation level of the reserve team, they couldn't even make it into the top 100 out of the 133 colleges.

Wang Yan now just hopes that Shrek doesn’t get eliminated in the first round, otherwise he will definitely be blamed!
At the same time, a figure was flying across the sky...
