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

Chapter 56 Falling Out with Tyrone

Chen Xuan didn't take it seriously and went outside the lounge.

With a mysterious look on his face, Tyrone whispered in his ear, "Xuanzi, I have some good news for you. Master said he's going to use you as Shrek Academy's trump card. In future matches, you'll only be used when facing a strong enemy."

"Xuanzi, from now on you will be the key to our Shrek team's victory. Aren't you happy?"

Tailong explained Yu Xiaogang's meaning in detail, stating that due to the special nature of Chen Xuan's martial soul, he possessed the ability to confuse his opponents.

All the colleges thought he had little fighting ability and was extremely fragile. They believed that he would only appear in important matches to deceive the enemy.

Tyrone was talking animatedly, his face full of admiration. Yu Xiaogang's tactical arrangements were simply incredible, maximizing Chen Xuan's role. Every cell in his body was impressed.

"Master is truly amazing, worthy of being the epitome of wisdom. I wish I were his disciple, I could definitely become as outstanding as Third Young Master." Tailong looked on with hope as he worshipped Yu Xiaogang.

"To make it our trump card?"

Chen Xuan scoffed and said, "If you really had this plan, why didn't we do it before?"

Having lived two lives, he had seen countless people of all kinds. Did they really think he was just a sixteen-year-old kid who knew nothing?

Tyrone frowned, somewhat displeased, and said, "Xuanzi, how can you talk like that? Master is incredibly talented and must have his own plans, all for the Shrek team to go further. We should just listen to him."

He paused, then added, "Besides, didn't you not have a ten-thousand-year spirit ring before?"

Tailong spoke very bluntly, saying that if Chen Xuan had already had a ten-thousand-year soul ring, Grandmaster would have already considered him an ace. Now it's about adapting to the situation and making the best changes based on the team.

Could anyone else have made such a brilliant tactical arrangement?

Chen Xuan chuckled and said, "So, you knew I had a ten-thousand-year soul ring too?"

He wasn't sure if the big guy was pretending to be stupid or if he really was.

In the match against Blazing Fire Academy, he defeated Huo Lie, who was at level 41. Now, who doesn't know that he possesses a ten-thousand-year soul ring and has considerable combat power?

Chen Xuan didn't need to think to know that all the major teams considered him a key opponent and a significant threat.

Now, this big guy is acting like a simpleton, coming over to say these things to him. He's either really stupid or doing it on purpose.

"Xuanzi, you're overthinking it. I know you have some issues with Master, but don't worry about it. Master really wants to train you to be an important member of Shrek Academy. This is a great opportunity for you!" Tailong said earnestly.

"Stop your whining. Yu Xiaogang is the decision-maker. He can do whatever he wants. Why do you have to beautify something bad? Are you that concerned about your gentlemanly image?" Chen Xuan said, annoyed.

It is Yu Xiaogang's right to sideline him and not allow him to participate in competitions; he has no right to interfere.

Now, they're going to embellish the whole "frozen out" thing, find a nice-sounding reason, and expect him to accept it with gratitude.

Chen Xuan felt disgusted. There were some things he didn't want to point out or pay too much attention to, but the other party kept disgusting him. Did they really think he was stupid?

They give you a defense based on this, claiming it's gold, and expect you to accept it with gratitude, treating you like a fool.

"Talon, how come I never noticed you had this side to you before?" Chen Xuan found it amusing, only now realizing that the other person actually liked to fawn over Yu Xiaogang.

Upon hearing this, Tailong was immediately displeased and said, "Chen Xuan, how can you be so petty? The master gave you such a good opportunity, and you still want to misinterpret the master's good intentions. I really misjudged you."

He was furious. After three years of living and working together, he never expected Chen Xuan to be such a petty and calculating person.

"The master only said a few words to you before, is it really that big of a deal?" Tai Long was indignant, standing up for Yu Xiaogang, and felt it was absolutely worth doing so much.

"You're hopeless." Chen Xuan shook his head in disappointment, too lazy to pay him any more attention, and went straight back to the VIP lounge.

lounge

After Chen Xuan returned, Jiang Zhu leaned over and whispered, "Did Tai Long want to see you about something important?"

"No." Chen Xuan didn't want to say more.

Shortly after, the door to the VIP lounge opened, and Yu Xiaogang and Flander walked in, followed by an indignant Tyrone.

Upon entering, Yu Xiaogang announced that the list of contestants would need to be significantly changed.

Because the Shrek Seven Devils are relatively strong overall, while the strongest veteran academy in the competition only has three Soul Masters in its team.

Therefore, in order to better unleash Shrek Academy's potential, the Grandmaster stipulated that a maximum of three Soul Masters could participate in the battle.

The Shrek team nodded, not entirely satisfied with the decision. This approach would indeed maximize everyone's potential, but if things went wrong, they wouldn't be able to pass the preliminaries, and the later matches would be out of the question.

However, the master was as imposing as a mountain, and even the most authoritative figures in the academy couldn't say anything.

Seeing that no one dared to object, the master's gaze fell on Chen Xuan, and he said, "Your strength has improved greatly recently, and your abilities are obvious to all. Therefore, I plan to develop you into Shrek Academy's trump card and make you the key to victory."

He didn't give Chen Xuan a chance to speak, and continued, "Zhu Qing, Mu Bai, I don't want you to use the Netherworld White Tiger again in the competition. This is a trump card saved for the finals. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Master." Dai Mubai had no objection. Before the opening match, Yu Xiaogang had said that the Martial Soul Fusion Skill should not be used lightly and should be saved for the finals.

Zhu Zhuqing remained indifferent, merely nodding slightly without speaking.

The master was very satisfied with this, but still added, "Mu Bai, Zhu Qing, if you two go on stage at the same time, it will be difficult to unleash your potential with your Martial Soul Fusion Skill as a trump card. Therefore, I have decided that only one of you can participate in the competition."

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai immediately became dissatisfied. How could he maintain a good relationship with Zhu Zhuqing if she didn't participate in the competition with him, and how would he face the Star Luo Royal Family in the future?

The Shrek Academy members looked at each other strangely, completely unable to understand what Yu Xiaogang was up to.

There aren't many Soul Masters in the team who can actually play, and now there are so many restrictions. They say it's to unleash potential, but they feel it's putting the cart before the horse.

To conceal their strength, Ning Rongrong and Ma Hongjun are not allowed to participate. Now, even Chen Xuan, who has just broken through to the Soul Master level, is forbidden from participating. How many Soul Masters are left?

That leaves only Oscar, the Food Soul Master.

"Master, isn't your decision a bit too hasty?" Due to Yu Xiaogang's authority, Dai Mubai couldn't lash out and could only try to reason with him gently.

The master remained expressionless and said in a deep voice, "Mu Bai, I know what you're worried about, but it's all for your own good."

Dai Mubai nearly vomited blood. He really wanted to curse. What did he know? He was worried about whether he could have a friendly relationship with his fiancée, not about the team's lack of combat strength.

"Alright, that's enough. Get ready for the match. Xiao San, you make the arrangements." The master waved his hand, and the matter was settled.

Tang San pondered deeply, carefully considering the lineup for this match.

After a short period of careful consideration, he quickly made a decision and said to everyone, "A strong offensive team is indispensable, so Mu Bai, Xiao Wu, and Tai Long, you will be in charge of the main attack, I will be in the middle, Jing Ling will be in charge of support, and Xiao Ao and Jiang Zhu will assist."

According to the master's instructions, only three Soul Masters could participate in a match, so he had no choice but to make this arrangement.

Undoubtedly, Zhu Zhuqing has been relegated to the bench and will not be able to play for a long time unless Dai Mubai swaps her with her.

However, Tang San would not devise such tactics. Offensive skills are very important in a team, and no one can replace Dai Mubai's position.

Because Shrek Academy no longer has any Soul Masters specializing in offensive attacks.

"Sigh, it seems I've dragged you into this." Chen Xuan sighed, his gaze towards Zhu Zhuqing filled with apology.

Having witnessed everything, he had already guessed about 80-90% of Yu Xiaogang's thoughts.
