Douluo V: I intercepted Xiao Wu at the start, and I tricked Tang San into becoming crippled.

While Dai Mubai was plotting his scheme, Tang San stepped forward in full view of everyone.

"Everyone, listen to me."

"This exam is a team battle. The most important thing is to bring everyone's strength to the extreme and then achieve the final victory. As we all know, the control-type soul master is the core of a team, so the task of formulating battle plans must be done by the control-type soul master."

"And I am a control-type Soul Master, so you will have to follow my orders from now on!"

In Tang San's view, this was a very good opportunity to strike at Xiao Chen.

Next, he will use the excuse of being the core of the team to put Xiao Chen in the most tiring and dangerous position.

Once Xiao Chen is injured or his confidence is shaken, he will immediately seek an opportunity to challenge him and completely crush him.

Xiao Chen, just you wait, you'll soon be trampled under my feet.

He looked incredibly disheveled, just like that loser Dai Mubai!

"..."

As soon as Tang San finished speaking, Xiao Wu and the other two girls merely glanced at him before shifting their gaze to Xiao Chen.

In their eyes, Xiao Chen was more qualified to be the core of the five-person team than Tang San.

"Can you beat me?"

Seeing this, Xiao Chen calmly uttered five words to Tang San.

His tone was calm, but it was filled with unprecedented confidence, creating an overwhelming sense of pressure.

"I am a control-type Soul Master, so it is only natural that I take on the role of the core of the team."

Tang San slightly raised his chin, met Xiao Chen's gaze—who was taller than him—and directly retorted.

He has his teacher's theoretical support, and he certainly won't lose in an argument about who is more reasonable!

"Can you beat me?"

"I am a control-type Soul Master."

"Can you beat me?"

"Xiao Chen! I told you, I am..."

Tang San was about to continue being stubborn, but then he noticed that Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing were all looking at him.

At this moment, all four pairs of eyes in the five-person team were focused on him.

Under such intense scrutiny, Tang San's tone became increasingly hesitant and lacking in confidence.

Finally, Tang San lowered his head slightly, gritted his teeth, and said the truth that he was very unwilling to admit.

"Can't beat it!"

"Okay, then everyone, follow my instructions."

Xiao Chen spoke calmly.

Xiao Wu and the other two girls nodded, indicating that they had no objections.

After gaining command, Xiao Chen immediately looked at Tang San and said in a calm tone.

"Xiao San, don't use your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul and hidden weapons later. Just use your signature personal technique to face Zhao Wuji head-on."

"What! Xiao Chen, you dog... what do you mean by this?"

Upon hearing this, Tang San immediately flew into a rage and instinctively began to hurl insults.

But after considering Xiao Chen's current strength, he finally relented and changed his tone to one of inquiry.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen adopted a matter-of-fact attitude and began to explain.

"Since you know that your greatest strength is control and you have a good ability to manage situations, do you think it's necessary to use it at this time?"

"It's a rare opportunity to fight a Soul Saint. Do you really think we should use our strengths instead of taking this chance to hone our weaknesses?"

"You...I...But if I do that, it will greatly reduce our strength. What if I fail to pass because of that!"

Upon hearing this, Tang San immediately felt that Xiao Chen's words made some sense, but due to his pride and status as a disciple of the Tang Clan, he was unwilling to admit it.

So he made up a random excuse and retorted.

Xiao Chen was well aware of Tang San's stubborn and shameless nature, so he had already come up with a reason.

"You think you'll be kicked out before we even last an incense stick's time? That's utter nonsense."

"Have you forgotten that you were recommended by your teacher? You're a recommended student. In short, no matter how the fourth round goes, you're guaranteed to pass."

"If that's the case, then what are you afraid of?"

Upon hearing this, Tang San's eyes immediately lit up.

Yup!

If Xiao Chen hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten.

His teacher, Yu Xiaogang, had already written a letter to the dean of Shrek Academy, asking him to take good care of him.

Therefore, he is a highly recommended student and has no need to worry about failing the test!

Although Xiao Chen also had his teacher's envelope, the letter only contained Shrek Academy's address and some basic information; it couldn't be considered a letter of recommendation.

In addition, there was his original identity as a esteemed disciple of the Tang Clan.

In short, he was inherently two levels above Xiao Chen!

With just a tiny bit of extra effort over the next few days, Xiao Chen could easily suppress him like a defeated dog.

After all, with such equipment, how could he possibly lose?

"it is good."

After thinking about this, Tang San felt much better.

After nodding slightly, he went straight to the side to warm up, ignoring Xiao Chen.

As for what would happen to Xiao Wu and the other two girls, he didn't care at all.

He doesn't want women at all right now; he only wants to defeat Xiao Chen!

"Pfft."

Seeing Tang San's silly appearance as he immediately started warming up after leaving, Ning Rongrong covered her tender little mouth with her hand and chuckled.

Who would have thought that Xiao Chen also had a side that enjoyed setting traps for others? It's quite surprising.

He's so mean!

As for Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, one didn't expect Xiao Chen to be setting a trap, while the other quietly waited for Xiao Chen to make arrangements for her.

"As for you."

The next moment, Xiao Chen shifted his gaze to Xiao Wu, who had long, slender legs, and Zhu Zhuqing, who had a stunning figure and amazing curves.

"Xiao Wu, you and Zhu Qing will be in charge of the main attack. This time you can go all out. Rong Rong will be in charge of amplification from behind. I will stay behind to protect Rong Rong and make sure her amplification is always online."

"Ok?"

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong both showed surprise upon hearing this.

In their view, Xiao Chen, who had the highest soul power level and the strongest actual combat power among the five, should be the one to take the lead in attack.

However, now, Xiao Chen has actually chosen to stay behind and oversee things?

"Alright, the main attack is now up to me and Zhuqing!"

Xiao Wu patted her chest and accepted Xiao Chen's arrangement.

For him, whatever Xiao Chen said was law.

Xiao Chen naturally noticed the confusion in Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, so he spoke up to explain.

“I know you are all strong-willed girls, geniuses, no weaker than any of your peers, and you all want to become stronger.”

"Therefore, today's exam is a rare opportunity for you to hone your skills."

"Brother Xiao Chen, I won't let you down!"

Upon hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xiao Wu's bossy spirit immediately returned, and she waved her little pink fist in a gesture of assurance.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she only managed to utter two words.

"Thank you."

Is there a chance to become stronger?

She really needs it!

After everyone's positions were assigned, Xiao Chen and the others began to stand in separate positions.

Tang San stood at the very front, with Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing standing to the left and right in the middle, while Xiao Chen and Ning Rongrong stood at the very back.

"Xiao Chen."

It was at this moment that Ning Rongrong suddenly spoke up.

"If Xiao Wu and the others are defeated, and I run out of soul power, then you'll be all alone. Wouldn't you be in great danger then?"

"If you all lose, then you lose."
