Douluo Continent: Xiao Xiao, I'm going to control you fiercely!

Chapter 112 The Essence of Jiahao

With the selection competition over, there are only 10 days left until the start of the Mainland Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament.

Every experienced Chinese student knows that the most important thing before the college entrance examination is to review, then visit the examination venue in advance, and finally relax and maintain a calm mindset 1-3 days before the exam.

Xu Shu won't say anything about the short time Xu Shu has for practice and team cohesion before the start of the competition.

But in the 10 days leading up to the competition, there's still the need for practice and to deal with evil spirit masters. Honestly, it's quite tough to stay focused.

Shrek Academy's behavior is essentially relying on its own strength to forge ahead relentlessly.

He's no different from Jiahao in Delta Force who relies on his quick reflexes; he has some skill, but not much, and he's always inexplicably overconfident.

Regardless of location, status, or information, just keep pushing forward and you're done.

Of course, some might say that if Xuanzi hadn't been leading the team, would they have been more cautious in the Mingdou Mountains?

This is obviously impossible.

Just look at Shrek Academy's high casualty rate in the Inner Academy Inspection Team over the years, the academy's higher-ups' discrimination against the Soul Guidance Department, their refusal to equip students with Soul Guidance Devices, and the fact that even the students look down on the Soul Guidance Department and don't use Soul Guidance Devices—that's enough to know.

Shrek Academy is a dilapidated ship that is too big to be thrown off and blindly confident in the strength of its soul masters. The Shrek Academy students are essentially a bunch of scoundrels.

In addition, Wang Yan once said: "In the past fifty years, all the most outstanding disciples of the inner court who have represented the academy in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament have been trained by Elder Xuan."

Having this understanding means that, as long as there is no external interference, the teacher in charge of the team must be Xuanzi.

All coincidences are composed of many inevitabilities. So many inevitabilities determine that the Shrek Academy's inspection team is bound to encounter trouble when they run into the Grim Reaper.

The fact that the Death Messenger's Corpse Explosion could break through the protective soul skills of Soul Emperors Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng and seriously injure them means that the power of the Corpse Explosion has actually reached the Soul Saint level.

To withstand a Soul Saint's Soul Skill without taking damage requires the physical defense of a Title Douluo, something a One-Word Battle Armor cannot accomplish.

This time, although there was battle armor.

However, without Ma Xiaotao, the strongest among them, holding off a large number of ordinary evil spirit masters, the final result... they certainly wouldn't die, but the extent of their injuries is very difficult to assess.

It's not really Xu Shu's fault for not making prior arrangements. Who would remember such a short description in the original text? Xu Shu saw how enthusiastically Xuanzi was teaching at the Forging Institute, so he naturally didn't bother with it.

At that time, the academy affairs were handled by Lin Huiqun, the elder of the Martial Soul Department who succeeded Xuanzi and returned to the scene. He thought that Lin Huiqun would eventually lead the Shrek Academy team to Star Luo City.

On the contrary, Tang Ya, a native of Douluo Continent, saw things more clearly than Xu Shu. She secretly approached Xuan Zi in advance and gave him a little push from behind the scenes.

"Alright, you can all go back now. Pack your things and meet at the academy gate first thing tomorrow morning to head to Xingluo City for the competition."

At the shore of Poseidon Lake, after three days of getting to know each other, everyone had a pretty good understanding of each other's soul skills and tactical ideas, so Xuanzi officially announced the departure time.

The time was a bit tight, but it was okay.

With him leading the way, these kids still have time to hone their teamwork in real-world scenarios.

"Elder Xuan, are we just going to set off like this? Shouldn't we practice in a few real battles to refine the coordination between the main team and the reserve team?"

Jiang Nannan asked in confusion.

In the past few days, the 11 of them have only been releasing their soul skills to others so that others could feel them, and explaining their tactical ideas.

There was absolutely no actual combat coordination or anything like that.

"There's no need for that. You're not even all of your players right now. In fact, the lack of coordination in this incomplete lineup will only cause problems for you in the Continental Soul Master Tournament."

"After you set off tomorrow, there will be live-fire training. Only real life-or-death combat can bring out your teamwork."

Xuanzi's words were very pleasing to the ear.

Whether that's actually the case or not, only he knows. In any case, the original mixed-team battle segment was mainly for the following purposes:

1. In the original novel, Ma Xiaotao had only recently rejoined the team, and Dai Yueheng had previously served as the captain. A battle was needed to establish Ma Xiaotao's authority as captain.

2. Select the main control soul master from the Seven Devils reserve team.

3. Select the captain of the Seven Devils' reserve team.

Huo Yuhao's mental detection was shared with Xuanzi before, and there was no other control-type soul master among the reserves.

With everyone who should be there absent and the roles and responsibilities clearly defined within the team, Xuanzi felt there was no need for mixed-team competition.

Besides, with the main team's entire lineup possessing Soul Saint-level combat power, it would be difficult for the reserve Soul Venerables and Soul Masters to coordinate with them.

The easier matches earlier were fine; let them play together, the important thing is participation.

"Alright, everyone, you can all go now. See you tomorrow morning."

The next day.

The main entrance of Shrek Academy.

A dozen or so people walked together in twos and threes. Xuanzi was still dressed the same as before, with messy hair, a wine gourd, and a chicken leg.

This time, Ma Xiaotao didn't tease Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi about their complicated relationship. Although the atmosphere was harmonious, it wasn't quite at the level of familiarity.

(So ​​the Shrek beauties were all a bit off from the start. Don't be fooled by Ma Xiaotao's serious demeanor; she reveals her true nature when it really matters. How tragic.)

After walking for a while, Xuanzi began his introduction to the Shrek Supervisory Group.

Choosing to enter the inner courtyard means taking on the responsibilities and honors of the inner courtyard, and risking extremely high casualties to contribute to the extermination of evil spirit masters.

Of course, if you are unwilling to take responsibility or do not want glory, you can return to the academy right now; we will not force you.

Everyone has already made their selections and is going to participate in the Continental Soul Master Competition. If they say they don't want to, they can immediately return to the academy. Xuanzi is quite talented.

Even if someone doesn't want to deal with the evil spirit masters, at this point they have to say that they are willing to take responsibility for the peace of the continent.

Midway through, Dai Yueheng came out to liven up the atmosphere, saying that he had completed 28 surveillance missions and was very proud of killing corrupt officials and eliminating evil spirit masters.

Shrek's brainwashing techniques are always hidden in the little things in every aspect of life.

"Alright, now you need to give me an answer. Join or leave."

"join in!"

Five voices rang out in unison at the same time, and in that instant, the five members of the reserve team seemed to be of one mind.

He felt he had shouldered the glory of Shrek.

This is clearly brainwashing.

However, this is actually a good thing for Xiao Xiao.

The more loyal everyone is to Shrek Academy, the more powerful they will become when the Sun and Moon Sects attack. When Xiao Xiao, as the Dean of Shrek Academy and the Master of the Sea God Pavilion, raises his voice in support, all the disciples of Shrek will become his allies.

The position of Dean of Shrek Academy naturally carries a powerful appeal.

It is important to know that in the tradition of China, the position of dean of the highest institution of learning in ancient times was always held by the emperor.

After confirming the character of the Shrek Seven Devils' prospective recruits, Xuanzi nodded in satisfaction and began distributing some trendy little trash.

Special clothes, masks, capes, and distress flares.

Gone.

That's all.
