Douluo Continent: Outwitting the Ceiling of Wisdom - Yuhao Faks His Death for Ten Thousand Years

Chapter 120 The Shrek Man Who Sees the Sky from the Well

Yu Longyue was stunned, and said blankly, "Huh?" because he had never thought that his side could possibly lose.

Ye Xinglan's face was also filled with disbelief: "Teacher, do you really think—there's any possibility that we could lose? We have such a powerful Captain Yu Longyue with us, and Sister Ning Zixuan's support, how could they possibly defeat us?"

Looking at Ye Xinglan's innocent yet arrogant appearance, Shen Yi couldn't help but sigh heavily again, feeling helpless.

These little guys grew up in the shadow of Shrek and are used to being adored.

But they simply don't understand that Shrek Academy today is no longer the powerful academy that was invincible among its peers of Soul Masters.

Including Sun Moon Central Academy, young geniuses outside Shrek Academy have long been emerging one after another.

"Sigh, you made this duel agreement that involves the honor of the entire academy without knowing anything about your opponent. I really don't know what to say about you."

As she finished speaking, she couldn't bear to further discourage the young men and women who were so passionately fighting to "defend the honor of the academy."

Shen Yi swallowed back the words, "Our Shrek Academy is not as strong as it used to be," but his eyes showed a hint of heaviness.

"However, I can understand. With Yu Longyue around, you simply look down on the strength of the other academy students participating in this Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition."

Shen Yi softened his tone, which carried a hint of helplessness, "After all, Yu Longyue is empowered by a one-word battle armor and is a four-ring Soul Master, making him truly one of the top young Soul Masters on the entire continent."

"But listen carefully, those young men and women from Donghai Academy are not as simple as you think!"

At this point, Shen Yi became a little agitated, and his voice rose slightly.

Shen Yi's gaze towards the seven people in front of him was filled with obvious anger, hating them for being too careless and impulsive.

She paused, then slowly explained, "You all know about the list of young geniuses, right?"

"Among the team representing Donghai Academy in this junior group competition, a full five members are members of the Junior Prodigy Ranking!"

Shen Yi's voice was firm and resolute, "Among you, Yu Longyue and Ning Zixuan are also on the list, and Ye Xinglan is close to entering the rankings, so you should all understand what this means, right?"

Yu Longyue, Ye Xinglan, and the others were all stunned when they heard Shen Yi's words.

Their arrogance was instantly replaced by shock; the seven men looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief.

They grew up at Shrek Academy, receiving the adoration of everyone, and were already used to the superiority of being unrivaled among their peers.

Yu Longyue and Ye Xinglan, in particular, as core members of the academy, were extremely arrogant and always felt that the other academy students of the Tianhai Alliance were not worthy of being their opponents.

But now, Teacher Shen Yi's words were like a wake-up call, instantly shattering their blind confidence.

"All five of them are on the genius list?" Yu Longyue's eyes widened, her chest heaving slightly, her face filled with shock. "This—how is this possible? They're just students from an obscure little academy like Donghai Academy, how could they possibly have so many geniuses?"

Ye Xinglan was also taken aback and subconsciously retorted, "Teacher, are you mistaken? Those people look about the same age as us, and their cultivation is at most the second or third ring. How could they compare to us?"

We have several teammates at the fourth ring level, and Captain Yu Longyue is also blessed with a one-word battle armor. They simply can't bridge this gap in cultivation!"

The other Shrek Academy members chimed in, heads bowed, whispering among themselves: "Yeah, teacher, they must have been incredibly arrogant to accept our challenge!"

"With our captain, Ning Zixuan, and Ye Xinglan around, beating them is a piece of cake, isn't it?"

Although they were taken aback by Shen Yi's words, a strange sense of confidence still lingered in their hearts.

In their view, with Yu Longyue, a four-ring Soul Master with a one-word battle armor, in charge, and Ning Zixuan providing strong support, Ye Xinglan was not weak either.

Even if a few of the students from Donghai Academy are exceptionally talented and make it onto the genius list, so what?

Given their age and the difference in their cultivation levels, it's simply impossible for them to defeat them!

Yu Longyue took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. She looked up at Shen Yi, her tone still carrying a hint of defiance, but also a touch of assurance: "Teacher, don't worry! We are absolutely confident in winning this duel! Those people from Donghai Academy are no match for us! We will definitely defend the honor of Shrek Academy and will not let you down!"

Ye Xinglan nodded immediately, her eyes filled with determination, and added, "That's right, teacher, we can definitely win! We'll show them the consequences of insulting Shrek Academy!"

The other team members also spoke up, confidently assuring Shen Yi that their side would definitely defeat Donghai Academy and would never lose.

Shen Yi gave the seven people in front of him a deep look, his gaze containing both helplessness and unspeakable worry.

Although she could hear the confidence in everyone's tone, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, did not ease even a little bit; on the contrary, it felt even heavier.

Calling them "frogs in a well" might be too harsh and inappropriate.

But in her view, this current careless attitude, which is unfounded and blindly underestimating the enemy, is no different from "looking at the sky from the bottom of a well." Her vision is limited by the peak position she can reach, and she cannot see the wider and more dangerous world outside.

After all, there is very little publicly available information about those teenagers from Donghai Academy on the list of young geniuses, and as the teacher in charge, she has no right to access more confidential and detailed data.

That's why she had a vague sense of uncertainty: were those people from Donghai Academy really that strong?

Could it be that, just as these Shrek Academy members are confident, those people are simply unable to defeat their team, which just crushed the Tianhai Alliance team in the exhibition match and even slightly outperformed the Sun Moon Federation Central Academy?

Just as Shen Yi was deep in thought and the atmosphere fell into a subtle silence again, her soul-guided phone in her pocket suddenly rang urgently.

She reached out and took out her phone, glanced at the caller ID, and then pressed the answer button.

After a brief exchange, Shen Yi gently hung up the soul guide phone.

She raised her head and slowly swept her gaze over the seven Shrek Academy members in front of her, whose faces were a mixture of expectation and hesitation.

Then, she slowly spoke, her voice not loud, but clearly carrying throughout the entire conference room: "From now on, you don't need to arrange any special schedules just to run into them anymore."

She paused, took a deep breath, and continued with an undeniable solemnity, "The organizers of the Tianhai Alliance have specially arranged the schedule for us. This seven-on-seven team battle between you and the Donghai Academy junior team is scheduled to officially take place the day after tomorrow at the main stadium of the Tianhai Alliance Grand Tournament!"
