Chapter 154 Shelved

In the dead of night, the stars twinkled and the moonlight, like water, gently fell.

Inside the room, Chen Xuan stared at the blue panel in front of him, his eyelids twitching.

"Low Soul Power" and "Unable to even kill a chicken".

He really wanted to ask, is this even human language? Could someone say something like this without any prejudice?

If you can't analyze it, you can't analyze it. Just say you're not capable. Why blame it on your lack of ability?

Without exaggeration, after examining himself, Chen Xuan realized that while he wasn't a top-tier expert, he was still quite capable. To call someone with low soul power at his age, having reached level fifty-one, was definitely a prejudice.

"Come on, system. You're incompetent and you're blaming others." Chen Xuan curled his lip, too lazy to argue with the other party.

He activated the Three-Tomoe Jade, picked up the golden paper on the table, and studied it carefully.

The Sharingan possesses the ability to copy and perceive, which can help him decipher symbols, since they are still quite profound.

"A flying sword?" Chen Xuan was taken aback, his face showing shock.

He put away the golden paper, having already studied its contents. To his utter surprise, it turned out to be a technique for controlling flying swords—a completely unexpected development.

In this vast continent or ninja world, there has never been such a thing as a flying sword. Clearly, this small silver sword is extraordinary, unlike anything from this world, and belongs to a new power.

Chen Xuan picked up the small silver sword, weighed it in his hand. It was a little over a foot long, with a smooth and translucent surface. Its material was neither silver nor iron, and he didn't know what it was.

He went through all the materials used for forging artifacts across the entire continent in his mind, but couldn't find a match. This was a bit strange; it seemed like something that shouldn't exist in this world.

Despite his doubts, he didn't have too many concerns. He took out the golden paper and tried to analyze the runes in the last few lines, hoping to find more answers.

The first three lines are a spiritual scripture that explains how to control the silver sword and how to combine it with soul power, which is not difficult to understand.

This scripture is very complex, and it usually takes a long time for an average person to practice it. Chen Xuan estimated that even with the Sharingan, it would still take many days to learn it.

With the finals approaching and another match to play, there simply isn't enough time.

"Forget it, let's make use of the evening," Chen Xuan sighed.

He picked up the silver dagger, leaped out of the window, and headed to practice in the distant woods.

Day and night passed, darkness receded, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next day. The sky began to brighten, and the sun rose from the east, its crimson glow amidst the gloom like a painting.

Inside the hotel, the Shrek members gradually woke up and ate breakfast in the dining hall.

When Chen Xuan arrived at the hotel's dining hall, he saw two familiar faces: Liu Erlong pushing Yu Xiaogang in a wheelchair as they entered from outside.

He glanced at the person and then looked away, not wanting to make contact. He picked up his breakfast from the plate and walked to another table.

However, he was still targeted, and Yu Xiaogang seemed to have no intention of letting him go.

"Chen Xuan, come here," the master said in a deep voice.

Tang San, Tai Long, Oscar, and the others were taken aback. They all looked over at the sound and saw Yu Xiaogang's very unpleasant expression.

"What's going on? Did Brother Chen offend the master again?" Ma Hongjun looked at the two men with a puzzled expression, his hands still busy, taking a big bite of the meat bun.

Chen Xuan frowned, hesitated for a moment, and finally walked over.

"Master, what do you need?" He was getting impatient; what kind of trouble was the other person trying to cause now?

In fact, he had expected this. Yu Xiaogang had been humiliated by him yesterday and would definitely cause trouble today. He just didn't expect that he would come over just by smelling the aroma while he was having breakfast.

Yu Xiaogang sat in a wheelchair, and although his lower body was paralyzed, he still maintained a dignified demeanor.

He curled his lips into a sarcastic smile and said, "Chen Xuan, I've been observing you secretly these past few days. Your synergy with the Shrek team is still not good enough, and today's match is of great importance. So I've decided to let the original Shrek team play. You should rest for now."

Yu Xiaogang smiled contemptuously to himself. Even though he was crippled now, he was still Shrek Academy's team leader and had absolute authority.

After discussing with Flander, Liu Erlong, and others last night, he also began to doubt whether the person that day was really Chen Xuan. After all, the time and place didn't match up, there were many improbables, and it was hard to say whether someone was using this relationship for their own purposes.

However, so what? Yesterday, Chen Xuan made him lose face in front of everyone. Undoubtedly, his teacher should think about how to bear his wrath today.

When these words are spoken, it is definitely a major blow to someone who loves the game. Yu Xiaogang can already imagine Chen Xuan's expression of being upset as if he had swallowed a fly.

Unfortunately, it's too late now; even if you kneel down and beg, he won't change his mind.

"Xiao Gang, this doesn't seem appropriate." Before Chen Xuan could speak, Liu Erlong spoke up first, trying to persuade the master.

Shrek Academy is different now. Mu Bai is injured and unable to participate. If the strongest fighters are sent down now, Shrek Academy may face elimination.

In fact, Yu Xiaogang had been recuperating at the Spirit Hall for some time and was unaware of the Elite Tournament, let alone the fact that a Soul King had emerged from the academy.

"Erlong, you don't need to say anything more. I'm doing this for Shrek's sake. The kids have lived together for two or three years, and their level of understanding is self-evident. Let's just leave it at that."

Yu Xiaogang remained resolute and unyielding. A smug look of disdain played on his lips as he gazed at Chen Xuan with a smug expression. He said, "Chen Xuan, for the Shrek team to advance further, I think you should know..."

"Are you done?" Chen Xuan interrupted directly, not wanting to hear any more nonsense.

"If it's all such trivial matters, then there's no need to bother me." Chen Xuan said calmly. He no longer relied on Shrek Academy; on the contrary, it was the team that needed his strength. Did he really think it would be like before?

Yu Xiaogang didn't even understand this relationship before deliberately putting him on the sidelines to achieve his goal of sidelining him.

It is unknown whether Yu Xiaogang was arrogant enough to think that this would defeat him.

"What do you mean?" The master frowned, somewhat displeased, and very dissatisfied with Chen Xuan's reaction.

"The literal meaning." Chen Xuan ignored it, put away the breakfast and steamed buns, and turned to walk towards the door.

He'd be more than happy to be sidelined, as he's worried about not having time to cultivate his flying sword scriptures.

Seeing Chen Xuan's indifferent attitude, Yu Xiaogang's face turned cold. He disliked this troublemaker even more and wished he could expel him from Shrek Academy.

The rest of the Shrek Academy members were having breakfast there, witnessing everything that had happened. To everyone's surprise, the Grandmaster was still so powerful and decisive, immediately relegating Chen Xuan to the bench.

"Sigh, Third Brother, do you think we can still defeat the Divine Wind and the Spirit Hall team without Brother Chen?" Ma Hongjun asked hesitantly.

Dai Mubai was injured and unable to participate in the competition, but now the only Soul King has been demoted. Everyone really doesn't know what the master was thinking.

"The teacher must have his own reasons for doing this, Fatty, we have to trust the teacher!" Tang San said, trying to explain.

In fact, even he himself felt it was far-fetched and could not find a reason to defend the master.

The Shrek students aren't stupid. Master's actions were too obvious; how could they not see it?

Regardless of the circumstances, given the master's temperament, he would never give me a break. Chen Xuan will not be able to participate in the competition again. Today's competition will depend on them alone.
