Chapter 96 Elephant Armor Sect

The master's teachings were always strict.

To prevent everyone from becoming complacent after one victory, a simple meal was prepared for everyone before they were sent back to rest.

After all, the Shrek team members were still just kids. Although they hadn't been physically exhausted from the matches over the past few days, they had all been under varying degrees of mental pressure. They were quite tired now, so they turned around and went back to rest.

Only Tang Nian refused to believe it, and she was deeply troubled by the fact that her soul power had been stagnant.

Now that everyone had gone back to rest, he found a place to start cultivating.

She sat down cross-legged and began to circulate her soul power, but for some reason, it was as if there was a water bottle inside her body, and all the soul power she had gathered was outside the water bottle.

They couldn't get in, and the water bottle was already full of soul power, so not a single drop could be inserted.

Tang Nian frowned deeply, unsure of what was going on. She took a deep breath and began trying to draw the soul power outside the bottle into it.

But with each attempt, just like countless times before, Tang Nian was met with nothing but failure.

Tang Nian was a stubborn person. She refused to believe in fate and began to try again and again, but unsurprisingly, she could not get into the bottle.

She couldn't help but feel somewhat frustrated.

She looked up at the sky; it was already late at night. She gazed at the water not far away, where a gentle breeze rippled the surface, reflecting the twinkling starlight.

Tang Nian took a deep breath and decided to try again tomorrow, so she would go back to her dormitory today.

Before she could take two steps, a familiar voice came from behind her, "Niannian."

Tang Nian turned around in surprise and found that the person who came was Tang San. "Brother?" She paused and looked Tang San up and down, then said, "Brother, did you just finish talking with the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and just got back to school?"

Tang San chuckled, "I've been back for a while, but Master told me to go cultivate there. You, Nian Nian, why are you only just coming out of the forest now?"

Tang Nian didn't want others to discover that her soul power was stagnant, so she went to the generally deserted forest to cultivate, and she had just come out of it.

Tang Nian smiled and said, "I want to wander around and I'll get there eventually."

Tang San thought for a while. Since Tang Nian was still in the academy, he couldn't scold her anymore. He could only nod slightly and smile, "Where would Nian Nian like to go? I'll go with you."

Tang Nian smiled and shook her head, yawned, and pretended to be very sleepy before slowly saying, "Brother, it's getting late. You should get some rest. I'm sleepy now too. Let's go for a stroll together another day."

Tang San, hearing this, could not say anything more and could only nod, watching Tang Nian leave.

But he felt very uneasy, and it was definitely not his imagination; his sister had become estranged from him.

Although the two have grown up, they are still siblings, and this is not what Tang San wants to see.

He watched Tang Nian's retreating figure, finally letting out a helpless sigh before returning to his dormitory.

Two full days have passed since the start of the competition, and all teams have completed the first round of qualifiers. Now it's time to prepare for the second round of qualifiers.

When the Shrek Academy students returned to the Heaven Dou Arena, they clearly felt that the treatment they received this time was different from the last time.

Even though they were still wearing their dingy green clothes, the audience's mockery had lessened considerably, replaced by more respect.

In the first round of the qualifiers, they actually fielded three Soul Master level experts, and their teamwork was exceptionally good, allowing them to finish the match in the blink of an eye.

What's more, one of them is a control-type Soul Master with crowd control skills. Any one of these qualities alone is admirable.

Shrek Academy's position is no longer what it used to be; now they are a favorite to advance from the qualifiers.

Because of his victory in the previous round, Flanders' little scheme worked very well. Merchants actually contacted Flanders to grab the GG spot.

It has to be said that this merchant has a very good eye, but it's a real hardship for the children of Shrek Academy, who are simply too ashamed to face their school uniforms.

But they could never forget Flander's expression when Shrek Academy faced closure due to financial problems.

So, after much deliberation, they finally put on the school uniform, which wasn't exactly presentable.

When the Shrek Academy students arrived at the team's rest area, everyone's eyes turned to them.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

But most of their attention was focused on Tang San, after all, the ten-thousand-year spirit ring he revealed that day was too eye-catching, and everyone regarded him as their biggest opponent.

Tang Nian stayed at the very back the whole time, minimizing her presence and trying her best to avoid being noticed by everyone.

Just then, Grandmaster and Liu Erlong slowly walked over. Grandmaster's expression was more serious than the Shrek Academy students had ever seen before, and for some reason, Tang Nian suddenly had a bad feeling.

The master slowly spoke, "Your opponent in the second match is very strong. You now have three choices: give up directly, as you will have no chance of winning if you participate with the same lineup as in the previous match, or bring out your trump card."

Everyone understood that the trump card the master was referring to was Tang Nian, but no one wanted her to play. After all, if Tang Nian played, their hidden strength would be exposed.

This will be very inconvenient for the later matches.

Liu Erlong sighed and slowly said, "This time your opponents are the Elephant Armor Sect, which ranks sixth among the seven major sects. Four of them are Soul Sect members, and the remaining four are also close to Soul Sect members in strength."

The master said solemnly, "The Elephant Armor Sect is the strongest defensive sect. Although their sect leader is only a Soul Douluo-level expert at present, his defense can withstand a Title Douluo-level expert who is not the main attacker. Their strength is self-evident."

"For the sake of ultimate victory, I suggest you forfeit the match. Losing one game is nothing; concealing your true strength is the most important thing," the master said slowly, offering his advice.

However, the master still looked at the Shrek students and slowly said, "However, this is a decision for you to make yourselves."

After thinking it over, Ma Hongjun said confidently, "Why don't we just let Niannian make an appearance? Even if they know Niannian's true strength, so what? They'll still be helpless. Niannian's strength is so heaven-defying, even if they want to target her, they probably won't have a way to do so."
