Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

Chapter 145 Team Member Selection Competition

The Spirit Hall's influence spans the entire continent, and not every branch hall is guarded by a Super Douluo.

If Tang Hao were to retaliate in a frenzy and specifically target the weaker branch halls, wouldn't that create an atmosphere of panic and paranoia throughout the entire Spirit Hall?
If this happens, a large number of people will inevitably leave the Spirit Hall in order to protect themselves.

Tang Hao remained hidden in the shadows, and the powerful figures within the hall were unable to find his whereabouts for a short period of time.

If this continues, the Spirit Hall will inevitably decline, while other forces will seize the opportunity to rise and even replace it.

The disadvantages outweigh the advantages; this is something we absolutely must not do!
Xue Qinghe was relieved; if he hadn't informed Wu Qi beforehand and brought his enemy's son under his command, he would have been incredibly foolish.

Of course, having been insulted by Prince Xue Xing, the Shrek Seven Devils already regarded the royal family as enemies and would most likely not accept Xue Qinghe's offer of recruitment.

"Your Highness, it's always best to be cautious in everything. Tang San may not be unapproachable, but we need to keep things within limits. Since we can't win him over, why not extract as much value from him as possible?" Wu Qi countered with a smile.

Xue Qinghe nodded thoughtfully.

……

On the arena below, Chen Ping used his tortoise shell shield combination to force Cui Xia out of the arena, achieving victory and defending his honor as a starting player.

It should be noted that he is only a defensive-type Soul Master, and his Martial Soul is not very offensive.

In contrast, Cui Xia possesses the Fierce Tiger Martial Soul, making him incredibly powerful in attack.

Under normal circumstances, offensive-type Soul Masters are natural counters defensive-type Soul Masters. If he chose Chen Ping as his challenger, he must have done his homework beforehand.

Unfortunately, in terms of tactics, Chen Ping, after being trained by the team, far surpasses him.

"Concession."

Chen Ping clasped his hands in a fist salute, turned around gracefully, and stopped arguing with the other party.

Cui Xia slammed her hand on the floor and left in a huff.

To conserve the energy of team members, they should not be challenged by multiple people consecutively in a short period of time.

The referee immediately announced: "If you still want to challenge Chen Ping, you will have to wait at least half an hour. If you want to challenge someone else, you can start immediately."

Qian Gu Chang Kong is only thirteen years old. According to the rules, only students under the age of sixteen can challenge him, but very few students in this age group can break through to the Soul Master level.

He thought he could rest easy now, but unexpectedly, the next contestant challenged him by name.

Chen Ping chuckled, "Chang Kong, it seems your luck isn't very good."

Feng Xiaotian frowned and said, "That person is named Huang Qi. He is the young marquis of the Imperial Marquis's Mansion. He is very talented. It is said that his innate soul power has reached level eight and a half. With the resources of the Marquis's Mansion, he now has level thirty-seven soul power."

Rarely throughout history has he had such a wealth of resources for battle; most of the time, he challenges opponents of a higher level.

However, he has always had the habit of underestimating his opponents. Huang Qi has a record of defeating Soul Masters who are of a higher level, so he could easily suffer an upset if he is careless.

Huo Wushuang couldn't help but remind him: "Chang Kong, remember what the captain said, never be arrogant. If you lose, don't blame us for not acknowledging you as a teammate."

The vast sky gave an awkward smile.

In fact, he has been consciously trying to change this habit, and it has been effective.

At least, he won't be too careless when it comes to matters concerning his reputation.

……

On the dais, Ning Fengzhi returned, his smile as warm and welcoming.

"You two have talked?" he asked with a smile.

Wu Qi cupped his hands in greeting, "Uncle Ning, I'll head back now. If I'm away for a long time, I'm afraid I won't be able to find anyone to challenge me."

Ning Fengzhi smiled and waved his hand. Anyone with eyes could see that challenging Wu Qi was simply asking for humiliation.

It's important to know that Wu Qi's soul power level wasn't the highest in the group. Before they went out to train, his level was even lower than that of Huo Wushuang and her brother after they absorbed the immortal herb.

Even so, he was still able to become the captain, and no one else objected (especially Feng Xiaotian), which shows how strong he was.

Furthermore, the captain represents the soul of a team and should not be changed easily. Unless someone has exceptional personal charisma, even if a newcomer can defeat the captain, they may not be able to convince the other team members, ultimately leading to the team's disintegration and the need for a new team.

at the same time.

Compared to the bustling Qibao Academy, Shrek Academy appeared much quieter.

This year's new school year saw a number of new students that can no longer be described as being cut in half, but rather as being 70% fewer than in previous years.

Moreover, if they hadn't proactively extended the registration period, the number of new students would have been even smaller.

Moreover, most of the students were those who had been rejected by Qibao Academy and had nowhere else to go, so they came to Shrek Academy.

Flander's reluctance to retaliate against Dugu Bo stemmed essentially from his concern about the current state of the academy.

The decrease in student enrollment may not be noticeable in the first year or two, but if this continues, the college will eventually run into financial difficulties and face closure.

……

After waiting through the night, Yu Xiaogang finally woke up.

Seeing that their opponent was out of danger, and urged by Yu Xiaogang, the Shrek Seven Devils had no choice but to organize their own training.

Stepping out of the dormitory building and looking at the scene inside the academy, Yu Tianheng couldn't help but mutter, "What's going on today? Why is the academy suddenly so empty?"

The Shrek Seven Devils were all by Yu Xiaogang's bedside last night, so they had no idea what was going on in the academy. They had no choice but to go to the dean's office to ask Flander.

As for where the students went, it was to Qibao Academy.

Compared to the players pre-selected by Shrek Academy, the players pre-selected by Qibao Academy do not mean that others have no chance.

In contrast, at Shrek Academy, Flander has already decided that the status of their main players is fixed and cannot be changed.

It's no wonder he did that. Back then, Ma Hongjun was just a Great Soul Master. If the selection process had been opened up, he would have been the first to be eliminated, followed by Zhu Zhuqing.

Although the two have now broken through to the Soul Master level, their soul power level is very low, and they are no match for mid-to-high-level Soul Masters.

For the sake of his disciple, Flanders inevitably showed favoritism towards the other side.

……

Dean's room.

Hearing Flander's explanation, the Shrek Seven Devils had strange expressions. "Why should students from other schools be allowed to watch the Seven Treasures Academy team member selection competition?"

To protect the individual strengths of team members, these selection competitions are usually held internally, with no outsiders able to observe.

The Shrek Seven Devils did not understand the Seven Treasures Academy's intentions, and neither did Flander.

But upon closer examination, the matter is actually quite simple. Ning Fengzhi is confident that the strength of the Qibao team members will not be replaced, and when faced with challenges, the core members will not reveal their trump cards.

Unfortunately, Flanders and the others kept thinking about conspiracy theories, so they naturally had no clue whatsoever.

Ma Hongjun snorted, "Anyway, they're definitely up to something. If we go, they'll definitely take the opportunity to humiliate us. In my opinion, the teacher should issue an order prohibiting any students from going to watch the competition."

Flanders was powerless to do anything about it.

Regardless of how he obtained his position as dean, even if Liu Erlong spoke up, it still wouldn't stop the teachers and students from having their own ideas.
