Douluo Dragon King: I, the wielder of the Holy Sword, will vanquish all evil.

Chapter 66 Ye Xinglan

As the elevator slowly descended, Mu Xi turned to Su Qiu and said, "You'd better go easy on me then, or I'll lose too badly."

"Hard to say." Su Qiu shook his head. "You'd better finish forging quickly, or you'll just be watching me attract everyone's attention."

"Hmph." Mu Xi turned her head away.

Feeling somewhat superfluous, Tang Wulin awkwardly scratched his head.

The elevator doors opened, and in a corner of the lobby on the first floor, Master Cen Yue was sitting at a round table.

Surrounded by several young men, all wearing blacksmith level badges on their chests, the lowest being level two and the highest being one of the young men in his twenties, who wore a level four badge.

“Master Cen!” Su Qiu stepped forward and nodded slightly.

Master Cen Yue quickly stood up, a smile spreading across his face: "You've arrived? Please have a seat."

"Let me introduce you. This is my disciple, Tang Wenhao, a level four blacksmith. He's participating in the adult group competition this time." He pointed to the young man wearing a level four badge on his chest.

This was a rare opportunity, and he needed to let his apprentice appear in front of Su Qiu, get to know him, and leave an impression.

Once Su Qiu grows up, it won't be so easy to meet her again.

After introducing his apprentice, Cen Yue introduced the others in turn, "This is Zheng Tianlin, a level three blacksmith. And Li Mo and Zhang Lei are both top-tier level two blacksmiths."

"Hello." The group stepped forward respectfully and bowed.

Su Qiu is practically a legend in the East China Sea Forging Association.

"Don't be so polite." Su Qiu waved her hand: "We're all in the same association, we'll run into each other all the time."

Despite saying that, everyone was still quite reserved, not just because of Su Qiu's extraordinary talent in forging.

In fact, Su Qiu was like a plague god in the association at the very beginning.

Because Su Wuyan is behind him.

Dragon Sparrow Douluo has a notorious reputation.

The blacksmiths in the association were all afraid of provoking Su Qiu, and every time they finished forging iron, they found that their precious rare metals had disappeared.

There's nowhere to cry.

It's no use talking to anyone.

The local tyrant of Donghai City—Dragon Sparrow Douluo: Who is below me, accusing me of wrongdoing?

In addition, Su Qiu's later displayed forging talent earned him the utmost respect from everyone in the association.

“Now that everyone’s here, I’ll begin,” Cen Yue began. “Our Blacksmith Association has always been the face of Donghai City in the Alliance Competition. Last year, we came in third in the junior group and first in the youth group. Wenhao, this time you’re participating in the adult group, so keep up the good work and bring glory to the association.”

Tang Wenhao was strong and had a steady gaze. He replied, "Yes, teacher."

Then, Cen Yue looked at Zheng Tianlin: "Tianlin, you've made rapid and steady progress. Perform well in the youth group and strive to advance to level four as soon as possible." Zheng Tianlin nodded, but his face showed a hint of pride.

Finally, Cen Yue's gaze fell on Su Qiu, Tang Wulin, and Mu Xi: "You are our association's trump cards this time. If you perform normally, you will definitely sweep the top three spots."

Upon hearing this, Tang Wenhao and the others felt relieved. Luckily, they were participating in the adult group.

If it's the junior group, that would be incredible.

Putting aside Mu Xi and Tang Wulin, just with Su Qiu, the Great Demon King, around, this year's junior group is going to be hellishly difficult!

Just thinking about it makes me want to cry.

The opening ceremony of the Tianhai Alliance Grand Tournament was held at the Tianhai Stadium, which can accommodate 80,000 people. This is a top-level event in the East China Sea Economic Zone and has attracted much attention from the Federation.

The competition is for selecting talent for the Tianhai Alliance.

Early in the morning, the teams from various cities entered the stadium, and the stands were already packed.

Tang Wulin was a country boy, and this was his first time in such a grand venue. He was completely disoriented the whole time.

"What are they doing?" Tang Wulin asked Xie Xie.

Xie Xie explained, "You don't know this? It's all over the place. There's an exhibition match later. The league has paid a lot of money to invite people from Shrek Academy and the champions of the previous youth group's seven-person tournament to compete."

"That's Shrek Academy!" "I don't know where the Tianhai Alliance gets their courage. Are they paying to lose?"

Xu Xiaoyan smiled and said, "The league's higher-ups definitely have their own ideas."

"Who would pay to be tortured?" Su Qiu pondered. "What if Shrek Academy insisted on coming?"

"Shrek insists on coming?" Everyone was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

"I really have to tell you all about this," Su Qiu said, offering his guess and explaining, "Shrek Academy has all sorts of strange and unusual exams for its students."

"Participating in the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition might be a small test for them."

"This is still considered normal."

"It's not surprising that Shrek Academy students do anything during exams. Some have even infiltrated Federation military bases."

This is the most likely outcome in Su Qiu's opinion; otherwise, this exhibition match would be truly unreasonable.

"Huh?" Everyone was shocked. Especially Tang Wulin, who, having been born into poverty, regarded the Federation's official organizations as the heavens.

"Teacher, is this true?" Everyone looked at Wu Changkong, after all, Wu Changkong came from Shrek Academy.

After a moment of silence, Wu Changkong, sparing with words, simply said, "Hmm."

What could he say?
He couldn't really comment on this.

Because when he was at Shrek Academy, he also participated in these outrageous things.

"Ahem, I just ran into an old friend, I'll be leaving for a bit." Wu Changkong decided to slip away to see his old friend.

"Doesn't the Federation care?" Tang Wulin asked, turning around in confusion.

"How do you manage it?" Su Qiu continued from the previous discussion on establishing a government: "Can your Federation defeat Shrek?"

Xu Xiaoyan nodded: "Steamed buns, you're not convinced?"

"Haha." Xie Xie laughed. Born into a wealthy family, he was quite knowledgeable. Nowadays, no one could control Shrek Academy.

This is why everyone is eager to be selected for Shrek Academy.

Join if you can't beat it!

Everyone was discussing it, one after another.

"Is Shrek Academy really that dominant?" Gu Yue pondered, a hint of consideration flashing in her eyes, and asked, "I've joined the Tang Sect, that shouldn't affect my joining Shrek Academy, right?"

“This doesn’t matter.” Strangely enough, Na’er took the initiative to discuss with Gu Yue: “The identities of Tang Sect and Shrek Academy are not in conflict at all. In fact, it would be easier for you to enter Shrek Academy’s inner court if you joined Tang Sect.”

"Oh~" Gu Yue nodded, her thoughts unknown.

"How dare you!" a shout suddenly rang out. "How dare you speak ill of Shrek Academy?!"

Turning around, they saw a girl of similar age walking towards them.

She was wearing a green tracksuit, her golden ponytail tied behind her head, and a pair of large, beautiful blue eyes beneath her long eyelashes. Her skin was fair and delicate in the sunlight, exuding a sense of quality.

The girl had a stern face and a cold expression, like a little adult.

"You have insulted Shrek Academy. I demand an explanation."

No, we're just chatting and joking around, and people actually take it seriously?

Teacher Wu Changkong, this Shrek alumnus, didn't take it seriously.

Wu Changkong, who had long since left Shrek Academy: Yes, kids, I have no objection.

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances. Finally, Su Qiu stepped forward. He was the one who had to take the blame for this matter that was about to be blown out of proportion; he could handle it.

Su Qiu casually asked, "Who are you?"

　Faker's Diary: I cried after watching the match today because of Dafei, the six-time champion T﹏T. The moment my dad dragged me out of the internet cafe, I knew that no one could stop Faker.
