Douluo: The Son of Martial Soul, Deceiving All the Women

Chapter 189 Gangzi felt he was capable again.

Then Chu Huai sighed, his tone becoming somewhat detached.

"But he's not wrong. I really don't care about anything anymore. That kid's father broke through to Soul Douluo a couple of years ago. My Chu family has a successor."

"I'm getting old, and my talent isn't enough. I'll never break through the title in this lifetime. Since that's the case, can't I at least enjoy myself a bit?"

Bai Yu clasped his hands in a fist salute to Chu Huai and said with a smile:

"Old Master Chu has a good attitude, which is good. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. He has worked hard all his life and deserves to enjoy himself."

While the two were chatting, Xue Qinghe, Ning Fengzhi, and Salas, representing the three parties respectively, finally finished their scheming opening remarks.

After the host finished delivering a long list of blessings, the opening ceremony of the Soul Master Competition officially began.

After a draw, the exhibition match at the opening ceremony will be between the Shrek Team and the second team of the Heavenly Dou Royal Team.

"Hehe, young friend Bai, isn't the Shrek team one of your subordinates? Why don't you go and check on them? Why are you just chatting with this old man here?"

Chu Huai teased Bai Yu, but at the same time he was a little puzzled as to why Bai Yu, with his status, would go to such a third-rate academy.
Baiyu waved his hand dismissively and said:

"They're not my subordinates. Apart from the three girls in the main force, my relationship with the others isn't that great."

"Hey? Why are you looking at me like that? Don't be so surprised. Just like you, Elder Chu, drinking tea and listening to music, I'm just having some fun."

Chu Huai looked at Bai Yu with a strange expression, thinking to himself, "Your way of finding amusement is really unique. You go to someone else's academy and tease a bunch of kids."

The two remained silent afterward, while Baiyu sat by the window, watching the Shrek team with great interest.

Yu Xiaogang was seen making a delicate gesture with his fingers, muttering something to himself to his team members.

Anyway, when it was time to go on stage, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu were all left in the preparation area and did not go on stage.

Four substitutes replaced them: Tailong, Jingling, Huang Yuan, and Jiangzhu.

Regardless of Yu Xiaogang's thoughts, even with substitute players, Shrek Academy's overall strength was still stronger than that of Tiandou Team 2, and they ultimately won the exhibition match.

After the event ended, Bai Yu bid farewell to Chu Huai and joined the Shrek Academy team.

"How was it? How did you feel playing an exhibition match in front of so many people? Were you excited?"

Upon hearing Bai Yu's question, Ma Hongjun raised his hand and arrogantly declared:
"It's so-so, about the same as the Great Soul Arena. And the strength of the Heavenly Dou Second Team is far inferior to that of their First Team."

"I saw the opening odds for the Tian Dou Second Team before, and they were actually ranked in the top five?"

"If the top five are all this strong, Brother Bai, we don't even need Zhu Zhuqing and the others to compete; we can still reach the top spot in Tian Dou!"

Bai Yu grinned. This fat guy really dares to talk back. Does he really think the other teams are all incompetent? If Zhu Zhuqing and the others don't play, they'll beat the crap out of you.

Bai Yu's idea was flawless; unlike in the original story, they had all consumed the immortal herb.

Aside from Dai Mubai's soul power, which is almost identical to that in the original story, the others are significantly weaker. If Zhu Zhuqing and the others don't participate, they're in for a beating. Oscar and Ma Hongjun are both around level 36, while Tang San, despite his relentless efforts over the past two years, is only approaching level 39.

They are quite different from those who crossed the level 40 threshold after consuming the immortal herb.

Just as Bai Yu was about to tease Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai spoke up first and took over.

"Heh, Fatty, you really dare to say that. The odds on that betting platform are actually quite accurate, except for the Tian Dou Second Team."

"Do you know why? Because it's called the Heavenly Fighting Team Two. The casino gives face to the royal family. If it had a different name, who knows where it would be ranked!"

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang pinched his pinky finger, tightened his throat, and in a tone that made Bai Yu's skin crawl, agreed with what Dai Mubai said.

“Dai Mubai is right. The strength of the Tiandou Second Team is indeed not worth mentioning. Your real opponents are not them.”

“Since you’ve checked the odds, Ma Hongjun, you should also know about the academies that are similar to us: the Four Elements Academy, the Elephant Armor Academy, and the Canghui Team, which is full of gem-type martial souls.”

Yu Xiaogang's affected manner made Bai Yu's eyelids twitch. Where the hell did he learn that? Isn't it just disgusting?
After arriving in this world, Baiyu realized that even eunuchs weren't as exaggerated as depicted in TV dramas; at most, they were slightly effeminate.

And this Yu Xiaogang is a perfect replica, isn't he just a damn pure two-tailed bastard? It makes people want to vomit!
However, the others are different from Bai Yu. Because he has rarely been to the academy in the past two years, he has not yet adapted, while the others have already gotten used to it.

Oscar, for example, didn't pay any attention to Yu Xiaogang's tone. Instead, he frowned and asked a question with some hesitation.

"Master, those five academy teams you mentioned earlier are indeed very famous and their strength should be very strong."

"But what is this Canghui? It was never well-known before, just a third-rate academy. How dare they compare themselves to us?"

After Oscar finished speaking, the rest of the Shrek team nodded in agreement. That Canghui Academy was just an unknown place before, how powerful could it be?
Instead of answering everyone's questions directly, Yu Xiaogang turned to Bai Yu, indicating that Bai Yu should answer the question.

Bai Yu scratched the corner of his mouth and smiled. This Yu Xiaogang, it's like the sun has come out and the rain has stopped. He feels like he's back to his old self.

This is an attempt to use him as a stepping stone to highlight their own wisdom. But to be fair, Gangzi did his homework well and clearly knows a lot about the other teams.

Yu Xiaogang is really going all out to make a name for himself as a team leader.

"Hmm... Master Yu is right, you should pay attention to the Canghui team. Of course, it's just a team; the academy itself is just average."

"The dean and team leader of Canghui is clearly a talented person. He knows that his academy is not strong enough and that he will not stand out if he fights head-on."

"So we came up with a clever trick: using the same type of martial soul as a foundation, we combined the soul power of all the team members to form a seven-in-one soul power fusion technique."

"By fusing the soul power of seven people and then releasing the same soul skill, the power of this soul skill can be maximized, making it invincible."

"what?"

As Baiyu answered the question, the Shrek students' mouths gaped wider and wider, until they finally exclaimed in surprise.
