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

Chapter 90 Making a fool of oneself

Chen Xuan emerged like a dark horse, overcoming numerous obstacles and making a name for himself, no longer a nobody.

As a veteran team, Tianshui Academy's strength is self-evident, ranking third among the Five Elements Academy.

Nobles, kings, sects, and other forces secretly plotted to acquire this talent.

A record of defeating six opponents single-handedly has been achieved before, and it is not impossible for someone with enough talent.

If it were just a simple case of one person defeating six opponents, the various factions wouldn't be in such a hurry to acquire such a genius.

Previously, in Shrek Academy, Ma Hongjun achieved a one-against-five victory, Captain Dai Mubai achieved a one-against-four victory, and Vice Captain Tang San also achieved a one-against-six victory.

Anyone with eyes can see that there's too much exaggeration involved. The Plant Academy isn't a long-established powerhouse, and given that fire is a natural counter to plants, Ma Hongjun's record of defeating five opponents in a row can only be described as mediocre.

Tang San, who possesses a ten-thousand-year soul ring, has a dominant advantage in fire immunity and control-type attacks. His record of defeating six opponents single-handedly is somewhat exaggerated. If it were any other established academy, it would be almost impossible for him to achieve this.

Emperor Xueye knew this well and could not personally intervene to extend an olive branch to the other party.

But Chen Xuan, this young man, was different. He was deeply favored by him. He was exceptionally talented, humble, and knew how to behave appropriately. This was the kind of person who was born for the empire.

As a veteran team, Tianshui Academy's strength is beyond doubt. Chen Xuan majored in agility and attack, and should have been countered by the control team, but in reality, he remained calm and composed.

Moreover, although this young man specializes in speed, his strength is a level higher than that of a typical offensive type.

Creating one's own soul skill is extremely difficult and requires a lot of time, which explains why a genius like Chen Xuan only reached level 41 soul power at the age of sixteen.

"This boy must be used by my Spirit Hall!" Platinum Bishop Salas whispered, his eyes flashing with cold light.

This is a genius with a clean background, and various forces want to possess him.

Everyone understood that, given Chen Xuan's current condition, fighting another match would be no problem at all.

"It seems that the first person to defeat seven opponents in a row belongs to this young man." The nobles whispered among themselves, finding the young man more and more pleasing to the eye.

However, something unexpected happened: Shrek's coach made a surprising statement, demanding a replacement at this moment of honor.

Upon hearing this, the competition area was immediately thrown into an uproar, with gasps of surprise, jeers, and applause rising and falling.

crazy!

crazy!

All the academies thought Shrek Academy had lost its mind. A record of defeating seven opponents in one battle was something that hadn't happened in many qualifying tournaments. With honor so close, Shrek Academy actually chose to give up. They were truly insane.

The most unexpected reaction came from Tianshui Academy. However, instead of being happy, the girls were filled with righteous indignation, feeling that Shrek Academy was deliberately humiliating them.

"Nonsense! Nonsense! Who is this Shrek Academy team leader? This is utter nonsense!" Emperor Xueye was furious, slamming his fist on the table and kicking the bench in anger.

He already regarded Chen Xuan as a man of the empire, a member of his Heavenly Dou Army, and at such a glorious moment, someone actually wanted to destroy it.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I believe Shrek Academy is not a group that speaks without reason; perhaps there is another reason," Ning Fengzhi speculated.

Emperor Xueye gradually calmed down. As the ruler of a country, it would only damage the dignity of the empire if he were to argue with an academy.

Shrek goes to rest

Flander snapped out of his shock and immediately flew into a rage, shouting, "Master, what do you mean? Do you even know what you're doing?!"

His voice was a little hoarse as he tried his best to suppress his anger. If it were anyone else doing this, Flander would have already gone berserk.

Shrek Academy was the culmination of his life's work and the source of his greatest pride and honor. No one, including the Master, could tarnish his Shrek Academy.

He once believed Yu Xiaogang's lies and closed the academy, ultimately ending up in a miserable state.

"Master, you mustn't!" Qin Ming also stepped forward to persuade him.

The Shrek members looked at each other, equally bewildered by Yu Xiaogang's inexplicable actions.

Only Liu Erlong stood firmly by the master's side. No matter what happened, whether it was the collapse of the heavens and the shattering of the earth or the end of the world, she firmly believed in this man.

Seeing so many people questioning him, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but feel a little guilty. But when he thought about how his reasons were all for the better development of the academy, he gradually felt relieved, at ease, and without any burden.

"Flander, I'm doing this all for the good of the academy," the master said, his hands behind his back.

Flander laughed in anger. He really couldn't understand his old friend anymore. For his own selfish desires, he was even willing to sacrifice his Shrek Academy.

Sure enough, people change, and the current Yu Xiaogang feels like a stranger to him.

"Xiao Gang, I know you and Xiao Chen don't get along. Even if this child is difficult to teach and makes a fuss, can't you let Xiao Chen finish his last match and then try to mediate?" Flander said earnestly, suppressing his anger.

To save face for Yu Xiaogang, he was made the sole mentor of Shrek Academy. Now, only his words and actions can represent the Shrek Academy team.

"Yes, Master, let Chen Xuan continue the match," the Shrek Academy members also came to persuade him.

Ma Hongjun was hoping everyone else would lose so it would be his turn to play, but now he spoke up, saying, "Master, let Brother Chen continue the match. I'd rather not play this time."

"No, I'm doing this for the sake of the academy and Chen Xuan."

Yu Xiaogang remained unfazed and slowly explained, "You need to understand that the qualifying rounds are not the final competition. Shrek Academy needs to conceal some of its strength to prepare for more difficult matches in the future. Shrek Academy has revealed too many of its trump cards this time, and it shouldn't continue like this."

The master paused for a moment, then continued, "Moreover, Xiao Chen has fought six matches in a row, and he must be exhausted. If he continues to play, he will definitely be forced to reveal more of his trump cards. At that time, his full abilities will be analyzed by his opponents, and the subsequent matches will only be disadvantageous to him."

Yu Xiaogang's attitude was firm; the matter was decided now, and there was no room for refusal.

Chen Xuan was amused. At first glance, these words seemed reasonable and well-founded, but in reality, they were utter nonsense and full of fallacies.

"Master, I don't feel tired. You don't need to worry. I can still fight." Chen Xuan showed no mercy and directly undermined him.

The host, holding the microphone, was completely bewildered, wondering whose opinion to take.

Yu Xiaogang snorted coldly and calmly replied, "Chen Xuan, don't force yourself. I know you've already reached your limit and could collapse at any moment. Come back. You've done a great job. Don't push yourself."

At this moment, the master's shrewdness as a middle-aged man was evident. His words were measured and appropriate, reflecting both the elder's care for the younger generation and the magnanimity of the person involved.

Chen Xuan beckoned to Yu Xiaogang with his finger, mimicking his gesture perfectly, and said with a smile, "Master, I think I can still put up a fight. If you're worried about me tiring myself out, why don't you come down yourself? I'll spar with you and test your strength. What do you think?"

On such an important occasion, with nobles, kings, and generals from all sides, such an absurd thing happening will make Shrek a laughing stock, no matter what the outcome.

What he wanted to do was to label Yu Xiaogang with a accusation of abusing his power and oppressing students.

Chen Xuan is a gambler, but the theoretical master is a coward who fears death. How could he possibly dare to come down and spar with him?

If Yu Xiaogang really comes down, he'll be jumping into a giant pit. His soul skill is blind; it's hard to avoid breaking his limbs or causing internal injuries.

As expected, when Chen Xuan looked up, he found Yu Xiaogang staring at him fiercely, his face extremely ugly, as if he wanted to tear him to pieces.

"Hey, Master, come down quickly, is it inconvenient for you to walk?" Chen Xuan smiled brightly.
