Douluo Sharingan, I really didn't coerce Xiao Wu!

Chapter 137 Star Luo vs. Shrek

Zhu Zhuqing was always aloof and taciturn. The strong-willed woman had almost never asked anyone for help, but today, she pleaded with Flander and Liu Erlong.

At this moment, Dai Mubai also stood up, walked to the two of them, and pleaded, "Dean, Teacher Erlong, this competition is extremely important for Zhu Qing and me. Please don't hold back your strength, everyone must give it your all!"

The Shrek Academy members exchanged puzzled glances. Dai Mubai was one thing, but why was the usually aloof Zhu Qing acting so strangely?

"Please, everyone!" Dai Mubai said earnestly, bowing to the crowd in pleading.

Liu Erlong gently stroked his brow, a hint of helplessness on his face. He had already guessed the identities of the two. The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex were in healthy competition, and their relationship was not good, so they would not kill each other.

The current agitated attitude of Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing demonstrates the cruelty of the Star Luo royal family, and the succession to the throne is destined to be fraught with bloodshed.

The Shrek Academy members were very curious and puzzled, not knowing Dai Mubai's true identity, and wondering why the two were reacting so strongly, to the point of life and death.

"I understand." Flander nodded and announced, "Shrek will compete in tomorrow's match at its peak. Mu Bai, Zhu Qing, you two can rest assured. Since Shrek is a team, your affairs are everyone's affairs."

"Yes, Boss Dai, we Shrek are a team. If you're in trouble, we'll do everything we can to help you," Oscar said with a smile.

The Shrek members also expressed their willingness to do their best to help the two overcome their difficulties.

"I, Dai Mubai, thank you all. After the competition, I'll treat you all to a meal at a grand hotel!" Dai Mubai said, his eyes brimming with tears, deeply moved.

Upon hearing about food, Ma Hongjun's eyes lit up, and he immediately became interested, declaring that he would unleash his full strength tomorrow to crush the Xingluo team.

Dai Mubai shook his head and sighed, saying, "I'm just worried... without Xiao San around, our Shrek Academy will be at a disadvantage in battle because we'll lack command and control over the Soul Masters."

He has always emphasized this point, and it is indeed true. Tang San is the soul of the Shrek team. In matches where Tang San is present, even in seemingly hopeless situations, they can often turn defeat into victory.

Because Tang San is the soul, the key figure in victory.

"Xiao San's bones have been set and he's almost fully recovered. To prevent any further trauma, I've arranged for him to rest for a few more days," Flander replied.

He made it clear that Tang San would not be able to participate in tomorrow's competition, and that only those present could be chosen to face the Star Luo Royal Academy.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing bowed again, her expression sincere, and pleaded, "Dean, please let Chen Xuan go on stage."

She bowed deeply to the two of them, the most humble bow she had ever made before.

The final roster for Shrek Academy was decided by the team leader. In the past, Chen Xuan was often deliberately sidelined by the master, and now she was worried that the same thing would happen.

Compared to Tang San, Zhu Zhuqing had more faith in Chen Xuan's abilities, which helped her achieve victory.

Dai Mubai was stunned, and then belatedly realized that his impression of Chen Xuan had remained at level 42, and he had forgotten that the other party had already reached level 51 Soul King.

Although the two had a bad relationship and didn't get along, and he even seriously injured his good brother Tang San, he had to put aside his prejudices when special circumstances arose.

Dai Mubai went even further, kneeling down before the two deans and bowing, saying, "Deans, Teacher Erlong, please let Brother Chen fight! We beg you!"

The Shrek members were all moved, their faces showing shock. What kind of crisis could have driven Boss Dai to this point?

Dai Mubai's stereotypes were too strong, and he only realized Chen Xuan's strength, his strange speed, and his abnormal self-created soul skills belatedly. If the opponent were to make a move, the chances of winning would be at least 80%.

The outcome of this match would determine the rest of his life, and faced with the threat to his life and freedom, he felt that kneeling was absolutely worthwhile.

No matter how talented his older brother Davis was, at this age, it was impossible for him to cultivate to the level of Soul King. At most, he could only reach level 49. Chen Xuan, on the other hand, was a true Soul King. Although he was only one level behind, he had an extra Soul Ring.

The more Dai Mubai thought about it, the more confident he became. At that moment, he put aside all his dissatisfaction with Chen Xuan and even had a thought: it's really lucky to have such a person around.

"Alright, alright, you two get up." Flander stroked his brow and gave a helpless, bitter smile.

He's not Xiao Gang; he wouldn't do something like sidelining someone. Besides, he deeply understands the importance of this match for the two students, so he's even less likely to be heartless.

"Dean, you've agreed?" Dai Mubai's eyes gleamed with excitement.

Zhu Zhuqing was slightly surprised, but then felt happy.

Liu Erlong was both amused and exasperated, and said, "Since it was said that Shrek Academy would go all out, why would Boss Fu hide his strength?"

Dai Mubai breathed a sigh of relief; his biggest worry had been resolved.

Zhu Zhuqing, with her slender waist and graceful movements, quickly approached Chen Xuan and said, "Chen Xuan, can you help me get through this difficult time?"

She was usually aloof and cold, like an iceberg, but now she showed a sincere expression, asking Chen Xuan for help.

Chen Xuan was somewhat moved and surprised. In Shrek Academy, almost everyone went with the flow and no one ever asked for his opinion. In fact, his thoughts were not important.

He never intended to refuse; he was willing to do his part for his friend, and now he felt even more genuinely willing.

"Okay, I'm fine with it," Chen Xuan agreed.

Zhu Zhuqing had a cold and aloof demeanor, but a hint of joy was revealed between her brows.

With that, Flander finalized the roster for tomorrow's battle, letting the little monsters discuss their tactics on their own—a test for them.

Xiao Wu is pregnant, and Chen Xuan doesn't want her to participate in the competition, fearing it might cause health problems for the mother. Unfortunately, Flander refused, saying he would go all out and couldn't break his promise, especially since it was Mu Bai's life-or-death duel, which he couldn't ignore.

Liu Erlong remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.

"Don't worry, I care about the baby's health even more than you do. Everything will be fine," Xiao Wu said, reassuring Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan had no choice but to trust the child's mother, believing that she wouldn't do something she wasn't sure of.

……

next day

Above the clouds, surrounded by mountains, lies a hundred-meter-long arena shrouded in white mist, rising and swirling, resembling a perilous place.

"Welcome everyone to the first match of the third round of the finals. This match is between Shrek Academy and Star Luo Royal Academy. Please welcome the players from both sides to the stage." Su Yuntao announced loudly from the center of the arena.

This match attracted a large number of spectators, including those from Tianshui Academy, Tiandou Royal Academy, Thunder Academy, and New Divine Wind Academy.

At the scene, there were also people from various forces, including Ning Fengzhi and his two companions from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, nobles from the Star Luo Royal Family, Platinum Bishop Salas from the Spirit Hall, and Bibi Dong and others.

Led by Dai Mubai, the seven members of the Shrek team were the first to arrive at one side of the arena.

Meanwhile, the Star Luo Royal Academy students walked onto the stage unhurriedly. In particular, their captain, Davis, entered with a yawn, displaying a lazy yet composed demeanor, clearly not taking Shrek Academy seriously.

"Both teams are taking the stage. On one side is Xingluo's seeded team, and on the other is Tiandou's dark horse team. Let's wait and see what surprises these two teams will bring us!" Su Yuntao said, his voice loud and clear, reaching everyone's ears.
