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

Chapter 210 Promoting the Spirit of Ah Q
At this point, Baiyu shook his head, deciding not to think about it anymore. It was still far from certain; they'd talk about it later.

"Let's go, the convoy is about to depart, we should get on the bus too."

Afterwards, Bai Yu led Zhu Zhuqing and the other two back to the carriage belonging to the Shrek team.

Because this was unprecedented, with the finals being held in Wuhun City, the Heaven Dou Empire spared no expense to save face, specially building fifteen super-large luxury carriages.

Its construction incorporates some soul tool technology, and its comfort is off the charts, almost comparable to the White Fish's exclusive vehicle as the Holy Son, although he has never used it.

"Baiyu, you're the most well-informed person in our academy. Do you have any information about our opponents in the finals?"

As soon as Bai Yu and Zhu Zhuqing got back into the car, Yu Xiaogang turned around and asked Bai Yu in his hoarse voice.

That's right, Yu Xiaogang was also on the carriage. He didn't go to Wuhun City alone to ask Bibi Dong how to cultivate twin martial souls.

Yu Xiaogang has realized over the past two years that Tang San is no longer on good terms with him and no longer regards him as a teacher.

Since things have come to this, there's no need for Yu Xiaogang to risk going to Wuhun City for Tang San's sake, or even to lose face and beg Bibi Dong.

Anyway, he can cultivate on his own now, and at a pretty fast pace. As for Tang San as a disciple, it doesn't matter whether he has him or not.

Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's question, Bai Yu let out a soft sigh, sat down in a nearby armchair, and said:
"I do know some information, but it's not very useful. If you can win, you don't need any intelligence."

"As for those we can't beat, knowing the information is useless, so let them fight with peace of mind. With their strength, they should be in the top three without any surprises."

Yu Xiaogang frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with Bai Yu's perfunctory attitude. Just as he was about to ask more questions, Ma Hongjun, the conspicuous one, spoke up first.

"No way, Brother Bai, with the strength of Shrek Academy, is there any team we can't beat? Which team is that so awesome?"

"Even if it's the Tianshui team, if we were prepared for another match, I think we could win."

Bai Yu glanced at Ma Hongjun, tapped his fingers on the table, and sneered.

"Heh, do you think you're that strong? There's a saying you should know: there are always people better than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding."

"But since you're so curious, I'll tell you about it."

"In the finals of this Soul Master Competition, there is a team that is far ahead. With your strength, you are no match for them."

When Bai Yu finished speaking, everyone in the carriage looked over, wanting to know what was going on with the team that far surpassed theirs.

Bai Yu didn't keep them in suspense any longer and continued speaking softly:

"That team is one of the organizers of this competition, the Spirit Hall team."

"As seven individuals selected from the best of the best from the Spirit Hall's advanced academy, each of them is stronger than you."

"The two weakest members of this team are level 49 Soul Masters, and the strongest is a level 59 Soul King." "So? Do you still think you have a chance to win?"

After Bai Yu finished speaking, everyone in the carriage opened their mouths wide, their expressions somewhat terrified.

What kind of god-like team is this? With this lineup, how can they possibly win? How did the Spirit Hall even manage to assemble such a bunch of monsters?
"Wait, how old are they? Could it be that the Spirit Hall gave them special treatment and allowed people over the age limit to participate in the competition?"

Ma Hongjun couldn't believe it. What nonsense! Where did all these perverts come from? This is impossible!

Bai Yu chuckled lightly. To be honest, this fat guy is quite interesting; he can even voice such thoughts.

"Heh, do you think the Spirit Hall has no reputation? To cheat on something like this, if it gets discovered, it will become a laughing stock across the entire continent."

"Don't worry, they're definitely not over the age limit. In fact, to save face, the Spirit Hall didn't even meet the maximum age limit. All seven members of the team are around twenty years old."

Ma Hongjun became withdrawn, shrinking his head and remaining silent. Of course, he wasn't the only one; apart from Zhu Zhuqing and the other two, everyone else was also somewhat withdrawn.

After all, they had always thought of themselves as geniuses, but after this comparison, they suddenly realized that they were fools.

Tang San, in particular, had a gloomy expression and was extremely anxious.

Because of his beloved father, Tang Hao, he had long regarded the Spirit Hall as an enemy, but now, after hearing what Bai Yu said, he felt a little desperate.

Leaving aside those already famous powerhouses, just look at the younger generation, how can a level 59 Soul King around twenty years old catch up?
He is currently at level 39 and is fourteen years old. In six years, to reach level 59, at his current cultivation speed, he would have to give up everything, including his beloved hidden weapons, and focus solely on cultivation in order to have any chance of catching up.

Moreover, while he is making progress, others are also making progress and will not stop to wait for him. How can he accept this?

Bai Yu could tell what Tang San was thinking just by looking at his expression, but he didn't care. Tang San's thoughts would only ever be thoughts in this lifetime.

If you want to turn things around, wait until your Asura father remembers you and gives you a cheat code!
As for now, if you don't have the strength, just kneel down obediently. I believe that with a nobody's patience, you can definitely hold on!
Then Bai Yu smiled and comforted the somewhat dejected Shrek students.

"Hey, all of you, perk up! Although you can't beat the Spirit Hall's team, that only applies to the Spirit Hall's team."

"If we exclude them, your strength is definitely in the top tier. There are only two or three teams that can compete with you."

"There is no one among you who can beat you without a doubt, so as long as you are careful during the competition, it is still possible to get second place."

Hearing Bai Yu's words, the Shrek team perked up considerably. Bai Yu was right; they were just talented, not freaks, so there was no need to compare themselves to freaks!
"Brother Bai, you're right. The Spirit Hall's team is simply too weak. There's no need for us to compete with them."

"Just pretend they don't exist, and we'll treat second place as first."

"It's just a pity. I heard that the Spirit Hall provides a lot of rewards to the first-place team in every Soul Master Competition. We won't be able to get those."

After everyone emerged from their despondency, they began to discuss the matter, mainly in the spirit of Ah Q: if you can't beat someone, then throw the one you can't beat out!
This method, though somewhat self-deceptive, is still quite effective.
