Peerless: I Became Huo Yuhao's Dark Personality

Chapter 53 Shrek Secret Letter

Star Luo Palace.

Xu Jiawei looked at the freshly-made college matchup table in his hand, his face dark and gloomy. At this moment, a woman with a beautiful face walked in.

The girl looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, but she had a well-developed figure and a stunning face. She wore a golden gauze dress that set off her fair skin, adding a touch of nobility.

"Brother, what happened?"

When Xu Jiawei saw the person coming, his irritability subsided a little. He handed the letter over and said, "Read it yourself."

Xu Jiujiu took the thin piece of letter with doubt, glanced at it briefly, frowned, and a trace of anger flashed across her face, "What does Shrek mean by this!"

The content of the letter was not long and very simple. It only said that the Shrek team was seriously injured while dealing with the evil soul masters on the border of the Star Luo Empire and was unable to participate in the competition.

It didn't look like much, just a simple explanation, but the letter also mentioned the war between Xingluo and Sun and Moon and the help provided by Shrek.

He even hinted that if Shrek couldn't win this time it would all be Xing Luo's fault. His words implied that we Shrek wanted the championship.

"Humph! They're forcing me to revise the matchup table! Such high-sounding words, but hasn't Shrek taken enough from the three great empires?"

Xu Jiawei's face was filled with anger. Ever since Shrek established the so-called supervisory group, it had completely disregarded any consequences and killed whoever it wanted.

It would be fine if they dealt with ordinary evil soul masters, but the supervisory group was also arbitrary when dealing with some officials. They did not even notify the empire and directly killed them. Afterwards, they only left a sentence saying that this person abused his power to do all kinds of bad things.

Shrek said he was getting rid of an evil for the people, but he even took away the wealth of his targets. It is no exaggeration to say that he took away everything except the house.

But the three empires have no way to deal with this kind of thing. Shrek has sufficient evidence, but this will make their empire appear very incompetent.

If this kind of thing happens more often, it will lower the reputation of the empire among the ordinary people, and instead there will be a lot of support for Shrek Academy.

If Shrek Academy had not yet left Shrek City and shown no intention of taking power, the three empires would have joined forces to take action in the face of such a situation.

Shrek Academy got a lot of benefits when killing people, and now they have the nerve to blame them for being injured. How can Xu Jiawei not have a headache?

"Brother, what are you going to do?" Xu Jiujiu asked.

"I know about the evil soul masters in the Mingdou Mountains. Dai Hao mentioned them to me in his memorial. They are just a gang led by a Soul King.

If it weren't for the border location, Dai Hao would have dealt with it long ago. How could Shrek Academy not be able to handle it? "

"Brother, do you mean that Shrek is lying?" Xu Jiujiu had a lot of questions in his mind and couldn't guess what Shrek wanted to do.

"They did go to the Mingdou Mountains to kill evil spirit masters, and the injuries are probably true, but they were definitely not caused by those evil spirit masters."

Xu Jiawei's face was gloomy. He sneered and continued, "Shrek Academy must have encountered something rare later, but the opponent was too strong and all the members were destroyed."

The leader of the Mingdou Mountains is only a Soul King. Judging from previous competitions, the Shrek Academy's main team has at least one Soul Emperor, so it is definitely not difficult to deal with a small Soul King.

Then, the truth is obvious. Shrek Academy must have encountered or participated in a battle that was extremely beneficial to its own interests on the road!

Maybe he came across a spiritual medicine, but was surrounded by powerful soul beasts guarding it, so he was seriously injured. Or maybe he set his eyes on something from another soul master and was seriously injured in the fight for it.

Xu Jiawei had seen enough of the underhanded tactics used to become an emperor to convince himself that he wouldn't trust the letter's one-sided claims. "Should I reject Shrek?" Xu Jiujiu hesitated. She felt she couldn't refuse outright, but she certainly couldn't keep helping him. She had to find a compromise.

"Jiujiu, how strong are those colleges?" Xu Jiawei had a malicious smile on his face.

"Based on the data from our intelligence network, there are definitely Soul Emperors at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy and the Di Ao Academy, and at least half of the students at the Dou Ling and Tianhun Royal Academy are Soul Kings.

The other academies all have one or two Soul Kings." Xu Jiujiu answered without a second thought. She had been following this information and was very familiar with it.

"So what do you think of the strength of Shrek Academy?" Xu Jiawei's expression returned to calmness and he spoke lightly.

"The seven reserve teams are all new faces, so we have no idea who they are, but that girl appeared in the last competition. She was a member of Shrek Academy's reserve team at the time, and she's most likely a Soul King.

Although the strength of those seven people is unclear, we can analyze it from previous competitions. The fourteen-year-olds are at most Soul Sect members, and the others are probably only Soul Venerables. "

Xu Jiujiu's logic is reasonable and the structure is very clear.

"Yes, their strength is only so-so. They may not even be able to defeat other ordinary academies, let alone the royal academies of the four empires. In that case, why not do them a favor?

It's nothing more than making it easier for them at the beginning. If they lose later, it's none of our business. We don't lose anything in this deal.

I give them face, but as for the championship? That depends on their old rivals."

"Then why did you call me here? Don't you already have a plan?" Xu Jiujiu's tone was very dissatisfied.

"Don't worry, little sister. I called you here because of the Dai family's affairs." Xu Jiawei said helplessly.

"The White Tiger lineage? What did they do?" Xu Jiujiu frowned. She had been busy absorbing the power of the stars recently to prepare for this competition.

"You also know about Dai Huabin's situation. Dai Hao is indeed courageous, but they may be desperate and do something desperate." Xu Jiawei's face was serious, no longer as calm as before.

"What does it mean that a cornered dog will jump over the wall?" Xu Jiujiu became even more confused after hearing this.

"Dai Yuheng was in the reserve team for the previous competition, and his name is not on the student list."

"Are you saying that there's something wrong with Dai Yuheng's health?" Xu Jiujiu exclaimed. Putting himself in his shoes, if both of his sons were disabled, Dai Hao might indeed do something desperate.

“I’m not sure, but he must be so seriously injured that he can’t recover in a short time, otherwise he wouldn’t have come.

Dai Hao's prestige among the people was already very high as a general, and a few months ago he wiped out a group of rioting soul beasts, which further increased his reputation."

"There should be something else, right?" Xu Jiujiu looked confident. She knew her brother well, and her prestige was not something to doubt to this point. It was normal for a general to have a high reputation.

"Dai Hao has been interacting with ministers frequently over the past two years. The most crucial thing is that the White Tiger lineage has been gaining support in the imperial city lately. There have been many negative comments about the royal family, and the source of the rumors is unknown."

Xu Jiawei's face was filled with anger. Even with the royal family's means, they couldn't find the source of the rumor. This indirectly proved that the person behind the scenes was extraordinary.

"Ah, eventful autumn..."
