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

Chapter 158 Turning the Tables

"Tomorrow is the finals. If we win this last match, the championship will be ours at Shrek Academy! Little monsters, give it your all tomorrow!" Flander's voice was full of pride, encouraging everyone.

"Yes, Dean!" the Shrek students shouted, their fighting spirit high and full of determination. What had they been working so hard for the past two or three years? It was all for this moment.

Flander picked up a glass, gestured to Chen Xuan across from him, smiled, and said, "Chen Xuan, I have high hopes for you. You'd better do your best in tomorrow's match."

Then, he drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, which was a way of indirectly apologizing for what the master had done before.

Ma Hongjun, Jiang Zhu, Ning Rongrong, and others all looked at him with expectant eyes. With the Soul King in charge, the team's chances of victory would undoubtedly be higher.

Yu Xiaogang remained silent, his unusual demeanor neither agreeing nor refusing, his face stern and his eyes particularly cold.

However, Chen Xuan's next words surprised everyone. Yu Xiaogang, whose Achilles tendon had been destroyed, was so angry that he almost stood up.

"Forget about the competition. My fighting style is too independent, and my synergy with my teammates is too poor. Without teamwork, I'm not qualified for such an important competition. Let Talon take the stage instead." Chen Xuan smiled and gestured, picked up a cup of tea, gently swirled it in his hand, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. It was completely unexpected, and Yu Xiaogang was even more shocked. He never expected that this troublemaker would actually refuse.

How could this be? He couldn't believe it. This kid was the one who most wanted to participate, but now he refused. It was very unusual.

Dai Mubai was the first to recover, somewhat angry. He rushed to Chen Xuan's side and shouted, "Chen Xuan, what nonsense are you spouting? You're a member of the Shrek Academy team! How can you say such things!"

His face flushed red, and he looked very angry. He pressed down on Chen Xuan with one arm and questioned him loudly.

After realizing what was happening, Ma Hongjun quickly chimed in, "Yes, Brother Chen, don't you want Shrek Academy to receive this honor?"

Chen Xuan said, "That's why I can't go on stage. I don't want to ruin this opportunity. Master said that my fighting style is not suitable for everyone. There is no teamwork to speak of. It's like a pile of loose sand. How can I be the sinner of Shrek Academy?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's face darkened, hatred flashed between his brows, and he stared coldly at Chen Xuan.

Tang San's face was grim, his eyes icy cold. Time and again, this person had disrespected his teacher, deliberately humiliating him over trivial matters. He had never seen such a petty person.

Because Xiao Wu was pregnant, he harbored murderous intent towards Chen Xuan. Now that Yu Xiaogang has returned from the dead, he is constantly opposing his teacher, which fills him with murderous intent, and he wishes he could assassinate him.

"Chen Xuan, cherish your last few moments!" Tang San thought to himself, his face cold. He had already planned that after the competition, he would make a powerful move to assassinate his opponent.

If Chen Xuan's previous words were unintentional, then his current remarks are undoubtedly a blatant veiled criticism of the master.

The Shrek members weren't stupid; they now understood that it was a sarcastic jab at Yu Xiaogang.

Two days ago, the master bluntly stated that Chen Xuan was too individualistic, lacked synergy with the team, and was not suitable for team battles, which led to his removal from the bench.

"Dean, Senior Qin, if there's nothing else, I'll go back to rest now." Chen Xuan got up, wanting to return to his room.

"Xiao Chen, don't be ridiculous." Qin Ming glared angrily, clearly displeased.

The fat man was very direct. He grabbed Chen Xuan's arm and wouldn't let go, saying, "Brother Chen! Boss Chen! You can't be so heartless! How can our Shrek team function without you?"

The fat man spoke without restraint, his words flowing freely. Clearly, such remarks were likely to provoke hatred, and wasn't he indirectly implying that others were useless?

Yu Xiaogang, Dai Mubai, Tang San, Tailong, Oscar, and others' expressions turned grim, and they gradually became angry.

Ma Hongjun's unintentional words were like a sharp sword, piercing them. However, Chen Xuan was indeed the one with the highest soul power among them, which was undeniable.

Chen Xuan pried Ma Hongjun's hand away and gave him an encouraging look, saying, "Believe in yourselves, and I believe in you too. Shrek Academy is a monster academy; everyone there is a monster. I believe you can definitely defeat the Martial Soul Team."

Upon hearing this, the Shrek team stopped trying to persuade him. It was clear that the other party was determined not to participate and would stand up to Yu Xiaogang to the end.

It's a very childish act, like a kid throwing a tantrum. But some people already hate Yu Xiaogang. He was doing well in the team, but you came back and had to establish your authority. Now look what happened. Will you even play in tomorrow's match?

Looking at his old friend in the wheelchair, Flander's face was ashen, and he sighed repeatedly. It was impossible not to blame Yu Xiaogang, as everything was caused by his old friend. However, he couldn't bear to blame him, fearing that the master couldn't bear it.

Zhu Zhuqing and Jiang Zhu remained silent, saying nothing. Although they hoped Chen Xuan would participate in the competition together, they were very mindful of boundaries and rarely interfered with each other's choices.

Xiao Wu sat to the side, remaining silent. Because of the baby, her relationship with Chen Xuan was no longer so strained, but that was all. She still harbored resentment towards him and didn't want to have too much contact with him.

Chen Xuan turned and went upstairs. Before leaving, he glanced at Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu. If it were the child's mother who spoke up, he might not put aside past grievances and help Shrek Academy win the victory at any cost.

Unfortunately, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Jiang Zhu did not come to persuade him.

At that moment, Chen Xuan didn't want to think about anything else but ensuring Xiao Wu's safety; nothing was more important than the mother of his child.

Moreover, times have changed. Do you really think he's still that little Soul Master in Heaven Dou City who can be manipulated at will? How many times have they deliberately targeted and restricted his participation so that their disciple Tang San could shine and become the focus of everyone's attention?

"Let him abuse his power if he wants. He's gotten what he deserved, so I have no regrets," Chen Xuan muttered to himself as he returned to his room.

The Golden Generation trio is not easy to deal with. Even if he were to take the field, he would have to pay a certain price to have a chance to defeat them, which he doesn't think is worth it.

Even if he is the best player in the entire competition and leads Shrek Academy to win the championship and receive three soul bones as a reward, given Yu Xiaogang's nature, will he give the soul bones to him?

Obviously, it's completely unrealistic.

Among them, the skull of the Wisdom Path, which is over 50,000 years old, is of great use to those who cultivate spiritual power, and can be said to be very suitable for Tang San.

How could Yu Xiaogang possibly give away such a suitable soul bone for his disciple?

After a busy day, Chen Xuan was a little tired and needed to recharge.

……

At night, the stars twinkled and the moonlight was like water; many people in the manor were asleep.

dong dong!

Xiao Wu was about to go to bed when she heard a knock on the door.

She was still wearing her bunny pajamas when she went to open the door.

"It's you. What are you doing here?" Xiao Wu touched her red lips, somewhat surprised. What was Chen Xuan, that bad man, doing here in the middle of the night?

"Xiao Wu, come out with me for a moment."

Chen Xuan didn't give her a chance to refuse. He grabbed her hand and then used the Flying Thunder God Technique, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The scene was blurry; the two were originally in the guest room, but the next moment they appeared in the backyard, which was very abrupt.

"What do you want with me here?" Xiao Wu instinctively stepped back, looking at Chen Xuan warily.

The night was enchanting, the moonlight was like water, and the soft white light spilled into the backyard, making it not dark at all.

"It's something very important, I forgot to mention it during the day," Chen Xuan said, without any malice.

"What is it?" Xiao Wu's eyes still held a hint of wariness.

The backyard was quiet and full of flowers and plants. It would be hard for a girl to feel at ease in such a place, with a man and a woman alone together.

Although this guy is a bastard, his soul power is very high. If this pervert wants to do something, she can't beat him in his current state.

Chen Xuan cut to the chase without beating around the bush, saying, "Tomorrow, you must keep the Acacia Heartbreak Red safe and don't lose it, or it might bring you to your death."

He had prepared for the worst, and what he wanted most was for everything to go smoothly.

"Why?" Xiao Wu blinked her clear, big eyes, looking very puzzled. Her two rabbit ears bent down, making her look cute and adorable.

Chen Xuan stated bluntly, "The King of Flowers can conceal its aura, but once it falls, your identity as a soul beast will be completely exposed..."

A 100,000-year-old soul beast is extremely rare, especially a Soft Bone Rabbit in its transformed state. In the present world, it would be hunted down by powerful figures from all sides, and its survival would be almost impossible.

Xiao Wu realized the seriousness of the situation, her expression turning grave. But quickly, a question occurred to her. Looking directly into Chen Xuan's eyes, she asked, "Then why are you helping me? Aren't 100,000-year-old soul beasts incredibly precious to you humans? Why didn't you kill me instead of helping me?"

In the world of Soul Masters, providing information about a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast can earn you ten thousand taels of gold, enough for an ordinary person to enjoy wealth and luxury for their entire life.

For Soul Masters, encountering a transformed Soul Beast is not something they can let go of. Even if they cannot absorb the Soul Ring, they can still obtain a 100,000 Soul Bone, which is even rarer.

Therefore, Xiao Wu couldn't understand how anyone could resist temptation, not only not harm her, but also protect her. Having witnessed her mother being hunted down, she simply couldn't comprehend it.
