Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 200 Beibei: I really never thought about becoming the sect leader!

After the first match, the Shrek Academy team left Star Luo Square immediately, but the shock and impact they left behind lingered for a long time.

"Who is that person? Why have I never heard of him before? Investigate him, investigate his name and background, at all costs!" Xu Jiawei watched the Shrek Academy students leave until they were out of sight, then shouted to the chief minister beside him.

"Yes!" the Grand Secretary replied immediately, understanding the Emperor's excitement.

Shrek Academy's immediate departure after the match caused the entire tournament to be interrupted for several minutes. Their departure drew the attention of all the spectators, and a frenzy gradually appeared in everyone's eyes.

This is Shrek Academy, the number one academy in the world, which they regard as a god! This is the strength of Shrek Academy.

The most shocked were the members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. At this moment, their faces were extremely ugly. Even Xiao Hongchen, who was originally very proud, was now ashen-faced and his fists were clenched tightly.

The team leader, Teacher Ma, and another teacher also frowned. Although they were also shocked, they keenly sensed that something was amiss. They were unwilling to believe it was real; they preferred to believe it was just a trick played by Shrek Academy.

After exchanging a glance, they made a decision: to use their hidden agents to find out the boy's identity! As for the girl, they didn't find it strange at all; although she was equally powerful, her strength was still within an acceptable range.

In the Shrek Academy room of the Star Emperor Hotel, everyone was in good spirits because they had successfully entered the second phase.

"First of all, congratulations! We've successfully entered the second phase. You can take a good rest for the next two days," Wang Yan said with a smile.

"Yay!" Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya cheered, and the others smiled as well.

"I won't say any more," Wang Yan said with a smile. "We'll discuss tactics after the second stage of the competition begins. Alright, meeting adjourned!"

"I'm going back to rest and recuperate, and I'll try to be able to play in the second stage," Ma Xiaotao said, standing up directly.

"Sister Xiaotao, there's no need to rush. With all of us here, it's okay if you don't play in the second stage!" Zhu Ziyang said to Ma Xiaotao.

"Bullshit! I'm here to compete, not to be a spectator!" Ma Xiaotao laughed and scolded. "Alright, you guys chat, I'm going back to my room."

Ma Xiaotao left, leaving Zhu Ziyang, Jiang Nannan, and the seven members of the preliminary team. They were all close in age, so they were naturally more relaxed and casual when they got along.

"Oh dear, I finally made it through the elimination rounds! I was so worried these past few days," said Xiao Xiao, a genuine smile spreading across her innocent face.

"Exactly, exactly. If we don't even make it to the main competition, then we'll really become the sinners of Shrek Academy," Wang Dong chimed in. "Since its founding, Shrek Academy's worst result has probably only been second place."

"Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, I have to criticize you guys! How can you be so insecure about our Nan Nan? That flying kick from Senior Nan Nan on the field today was so cool!" Tang Ya teased, hugging Jiang Nan Nan's arm with a mocking smile. "If Nan Nan weren't a boy, I definitely would have fallen for him!"

"Alright, I'll accept you as my wife!" Jiang Nannan said, pulling her hand away from Tang Ya's teasing and wrapping her arms around Tang Ya's waist.

"Sigh! It seems I need to learn a flying kick soul skill, otherwise who knows when our Tang Sect Master will be kidnapped!" Bei Bei said, feigning seriousness, with a solemn expression and a worried tone.

"Yes, I think Senior Brother is right," Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

"Fine, so in your hearts I'm really that unreliable?" Tang Ya asked with a pained expression after hearing Bei Bei and Huo Yuhao's coordinated statement.

As a result, something even more devastating happened: apart from Zhu Ziyang, Jiang Nannan, Xu Sanshi, and He Caitou, everyone else present nodded in agreement.

"It's all over, Nan Nan, what do we do? Bei Bei has sidelined me! A powerful minister has appeared in our Tang Clan!" Tang Ya cried out, hugging Jiang Nan Nan and pretending to cry.

"Teacher Xiaoya, why don't you hand over the position of sect leader to Senior Brother Beibei? You can just become the Supreme Sect Leader. The responsibility of reviving the Tang Sect can be left to me, Yuhao, and Wang Dong! Hehe!" Xiao Xiao said with a mischievous smile, and even waved her little arms to make a powerful gesture, looking quite adorable.

Xiao Xiao's words immediately caused a burst of laughter from the audience. Xu Sanshi and He Caitou, who were always eager for a good show, even took the lead in making a fuss, preparing to put more clothes on Bei Bei because it was cold. This act of subversion filled the meeting room with a cheerful atmosphere.

After playing around for a while, everyone went back to their own rooms to rest.

After returning to his room, Zhu Ziyang did not rest immediately, but sat on the edge of the bed, planning something.

"I hope that place has what I'm looking for!" he murmured, his eyes gleaming with an inexplicable light.

-

Time flew by, and on the third night of the competition, Wang Yan convened a strategy meeting.

"The good news is that Elder Lin is already on his way, and Gongyang Mo and Ling Luochen have almost recovered thanks to the help of the elders of the inner courtyard. They should be able to join us soon," Wang Yan announced first.

"That's really good news!" Everyone smiled upon hearing this.

"The bad news is that this year's opponents are all very strong. Our old rival, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, took ten minutes to defeat their opponent. The other teams that advanced also went through fierce battles. Therefore, the overall strength of the participating academies this year should not be underestimated!" Wang Yan then dropped another bombshell, saying, "Xiao Tao, how is your injury?"

"I've recovered, and I'm absolutely fine going into battle!" Ma Xiaotao said, beaming.

"That's great! This way we have three main combatants, and the tactical arrangements will be simpler." Wang Yan couldn't help but smile, then turned his gaze to Bei Bei and the other seven, saying, "Don't relax either. You're all destined to play before Gongyang Mo and Ling Luochen arrive, so don't take any chances!"

"Yes!" Beibei and the others answered immediately and seriously.

"For better tactical planning, Bei Bei, Tang Ya, Xu Sanshi, and He Caitou, I need your martial souls and soul skills information, the more detailed the better!" Wang Yan said.

Beibei and the other three didn't hide anything and openly revealed their soul skills. After all, everyone present was a partner who could be relied upon.

To everyone's surprise, He Caitou, who had been keeping a low profile, was actually a food-type soul master with a soul power level of 44. At his age, to have such a soul power level meant that his innate soul power was at least level 7. Considering the rarity of food-type soul masters, he was a super genius who was no weaker than Ma Xiaotao before her martial soul evolved!

However, what piqued Zhu Ziyang's curiosity was that He Caitou's martial soul was a cigar, a martial soul unique to the Sun Moon Empire, and extremely rare even within the Sun Moon Empire. Did He Caitou actually possess the bloodline of the Sun Moon Empire?

No wonder, given his exceptional talent in soul guidance.
