Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 518 The Mysterious Prize for the Tournament Champion

Following the Spirit Hall, the six teams—Heaven Dou, Star Luo, Four Elements, Haotian, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile, and Shrek—also crossed the spiral nebula-shaped space gate and headed towards Xiaohai City.

The seven teams arrived at the coast and looked into the distance. Among them, the members with good eyesight had already noticed the shadows of sailboats appearing on the sea.

"Xiao Ao, what do we do now?" Shrek Team's Ma Hongjun looked around, searching for cover. "How about we hide and wait for them to get closer, maybe we can use a 'wait and see' tactic?"

"That won't do." Oscar shook his head at Ma Hongjun and the others, seeing that the Spirit Hall team had already started cutting down the surrounding trees, building rafts, and changing their team uniforms into fishermen's clothes. "Waiting for prey to come to us will only lead to starvation. We have to take the initiative. Besides, what kind of teachings did Shrek Academy impart to us?"

"Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre!" X5

The other five Shrek members shouted in unison, with fervor.

"That's right, that's the motto of Shrek Academy." Oscar pumped his fist. "We represent the face of Shrek Academy, how can we be so cowardly? We have to take the initiative and 'stir up trouble' to demonstrate Shrek's strength and excellence!"

Ma Hongjun agrees with Shrek's philosophy that "those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre," but he doesn't agree with the idea that they represent Shrek's philosophy.

After all, Oscar's soul skill effect had already ruined the academy's reputation!

In the past five years, very few girls have dared to join Shrek Academy—if it weren't for Oscar's contribution, Ma Hongjun would never have believed it.

But this wasn't the time for jokes, so Ma Hongjun said, "Causing trouble is fine, but we didn't bring a boat, and we don't know how to build a raft. The teachers at the academy didn't teach us that skill..."

As he spoke, Ma Hongjun glanced at the other teams who were almost finished assembling their rafts, his eye twitching uncontrollably: "How come people from other academies all know how to do this? Do their teachers teach this kind of thing?"

In fact, after Tang San proposed diversifying the competition venues and it was adopted, various advanced academies would teach students some tips on making tools while teaching them theoretical knowledge. These tips included how to use trees to make rafts that people could ride on rivers.

After all, some Soul Masters need to hunt specific Soul Beasts and search for them near rivers. Such places are basically uninhabited and boats cannot be rented. Cutting down trees and making them themselves is the best option.

The teachers of various academies have also gradually enriched their teachings to students on wilderness survival during Soul Hunting.

As for Shrek Academy...

It's still the same old brutal education. Combat experience mainly comes from Soul Fighting competitions. As for Soul Hunting, apart from explaining some basic precautions, students are left to figure things out on their own. Teachers are only responsible for making a move at the last moment... The possibility of accidents is not small.

To put it nicely, it's about cultivating students' independence and self-reliance; to put it bluntly, it's about lacking a sound educational policy and letting students suffer a lot of unnecessary hardships in a laissez-faire way, in order to "domesticate" them into the "strong" they envision.

Admittedly, students who emerge from this kind of "education" are indeed quite remarkable, but most students simply fade into obscurity, and some don't even survive to graduate.

In short, Shrek Academy is a place that treats its genius students as expendable resources; students who cannot meet the standards are called trash or waste.

An academy that doesn't even give people the most basic respect for their dignity is certainly not a respectable academy.

"Hmph! They're just bored and have nothing better to do!" Oscar scoffed, believing that Soul Masters only needed to focus on cultivation, so why bother learning so many unnecessary skills?

Moreover, if Shrek Academy had the resources of these advanced academies, the Shrek students would undoubtedly be even stronger.

These advanced academies and powerful teams are truly unaware of their good fortune!

When the other Shrek students heard Oscar say this, they were more or less envious and jealous, but what could they do when they didn't have the financial resources of the other schools?

The team with the same problem as the Shrek Academy team is the Clear Sky Sect team. This group of people all have Clear Sky Hammers as their martial souls. They only know how to swing hammers and do not know how to build rafts or ships.

They do know how to forge iron; the Chaotic Cloak Hammering Technique is a basic skill of the Haotian disciples. However, blacksmithing techniques cannot be used for carpentry.

So, of the seven teams, the other five went out to sea, while only the Shrek Team and the Clear Sky Sect Team remained on the shore, quite at a loss.

"Fatty, can't you fly?" Oscar had an idea and sent Ma Hongjun to investigate.

"Good second brother, don't trick me! I don't have unlimited soul power, and I can't fly for long. Other teams can support each other, but I'm all alone, what am I going to do?" Ma Hongjun immediately protested. It's true that he can fly, but using the Phoenix Wing Soaring soul skill requires constant stamina consumption.

That's not land, it's the sea!

Heaven knows how far that ship is from the shore. If his soul power is insufficient and he falls into the sea, he will be swallowed by the fish. Moreover, there is no place to land in this vast ocean. Does he expect him to take over the entire ship from the Sun Moon Empire by himself?

Then let's just wash up and go to bed.

Oscar retorted angrily, "Are we just supposed to stay here and do nothing?"

Ma Hongjun, on the other hand, seemed indifferent: "I don't think it's impossible. The Spirit Hall asked us to gather intelligence, but they didn't say that we had to personally gather the intelligence. Our seven teams are competitors, so it's not impossible to snatch the intelligence from other teams."

Oscar was immediately astonished: "Wow, Fatty, you actually have such a brain!"

Although Oscar wanted to test the power of the Eight Spider Lances on the Sun and Moon people on that ship, his main goal was to win the championship.

The winner takes all!

As long as the Shrek team wins the championship, even if his martial soul and soul skills as the captain are despicable, he will still be popular and might even become a new trendsetter for this era.

Sleazy?

Do not!

This is the beauty of returning to simplicity and primal instinct!

However, the main purpose was to win the championship prize—

The prizes for this year's Continental Elite Tournament have not yet been announced, but rumors are already circulating in Wuhun City that in addition to soul bones, there will be a mysterious reward provided by Tang San, the master of martial soul theory.

Although Oscar believed that his teacher, Yu Xiaogang, was no less talented than Tang San in terms of martial spirit theory, but was simply unappreciated, Tang San's ability to become a Title Douluo before the age of twenty and his terrifyingly high level of spirit ring configuration... Just this strength alone makes the mysterious reward he can offer worth everyone's anticipation.
