Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect

"But, Dean Cai, I'm really worried about Nan Nan's safety." Xu Sanshi stopped what he was doing, looked at Cai Meier, and said with a worried expression.

Cai Meier sighed: "Sanshi, I know you care about Nannan, but you need to consider your own physical condition. How about this, Wufeng, Ningtian, you two go and bring Nannan back, and check on her health while you're at it."

Wu Feng and Ning Tian nodded and said in unison, "Okay, Dean Cai."

The two then activated their flying soul guide and quickly set off to bring back the unconscious Jiang Nannan. Ning Tian said, "Dean Cai, Senior Sanshi, Senior Nannan only suffered some external injuries, mainly frostbite."

It seems that Huo Yuhao did not take this opportunity to seriously injure Senior Nan Nan, thereby weakening the overall strength of the Shrek team.

Regarding Senior Nan Nan's coma, we need to seek help from the Tang Sect, since we don't have the antidote for the poisonous mist in the Mother-Child Soul-Chasing Life-Stealing Gallbladder.

Hearing that Jiang Nannan was injured, Xu Sanshi was somewhat prepared, but he still felt uneasy: "Huo Yuhao is indeed a good person. I was just being petty. Ning Tian, ​​have He Caitou and Bei Bei come over. Tell them we need their help."

"Okay." Ning Tian nodded, and then immediately went to the Tang Clan's waiting area to find He Caitou and Bei Bei.

Although she was born into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, she did not possess any soul skills to heal others' injuries. In this regard, she could only seek help from He Caitou. As for the detoxification problem, she would have to rely on Bei Bei, the current acting sect leader of the Tang Sect.

Soon, Beibei and He Caitou arrived; one detoxified Jiang Nannan, and the other healed her external injuries.

A moment later, Jiang Nannan woke up, and when Xu Sanshi saw her awake, he immediately asked, "Nannan, are you alright?"

Jiang Nannan glanced at Xu Sanshi, her brows furrowing slightly. She said calmly, "It's nothing serious."

Seeing Jiang Nannan's indifferent expression, Xu Sanshi felt a little sad. He had always hoped to ease the tension between him and Jiang Nannan, but their relationship remained unchanged, with no progress whatsoever.

The two were clearly so close, yet it seemed as if there was an insurmountable chasm separating them.

If it weren't for his past actions, perhaps Nan Nan wouldn't treat him this way.

Xu Sanshi forced a smile and said, "It's good that you're alright."

He then suppressed his dejected mood and looked at Cai Meier, saying, "Dean Cai, who should we send out next? Even hidden weapons seem to be useless against Huo Yuhao. Who else can we send out to fight Huo Yuhao?"

Cai Meier's face was also very ugly. In fact, according to the rules of this competition, there are a total of seven individual elimination matches in the round-robin stage. Each time a participant wins a match, they can get a point for their team.

The team that wins the team competition can only get five points. If someone wins seven consecutive individual elimination matches, then there's no point in even playing the team competition.

Chapter 347 Shrek Academy, refund my money!

Shrek Academy has only scored one point so far, while Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has already scored two points. This means that as long as Huo Yuhao continues to win, the score between Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Shrek Academy will become six to one.

Given Huo Yuhao's strength, could Shrek Academy really defeat their opponents in the team competition? The answer is no. Cai Meier felt that even if Jiang Nannan and Xu Sanshi played with their injuries, they still wouldn't be able to defeat the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy led by Huo Yuhao.

In the round-robin stage, each team in each group will play against the other seven teams. Only the top two teams in each group can advance to the final stage.

Cai Meier sighed, "To preserve our strength, let's just admit defeat. After all, we'll inevitably suffer if we fight the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy head-on. Of course, this doesn't mean we're afraid of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."

Our primary goal has always been the championship. This is merely a strategic concede!

"Only by winning the championship can we maintain Shrek Academy's eternal glory."

Hearing this, Xu Sanshi nodded, a look of agreement appearing on his face. He thought to himself that Dean Cai was indeed experienced and knew which decision would be most beneficial to Shrek Academy at this time.

The others also showed thoughtful expressions.

Then Cai Meier looked at Xie Huanyue beside her and said, "Xie Huanyue, go tell the referee that we concede."

Actually, it would be most appropriate for Xu Sanshi to go, since he is the team leader. However, Xu Sanshi is still recovering from his injuries and should not move around too much, so she can only choose another team member to inform him of this matter.

As for himself, he was a respected elder of the Sea God Pavilion, a figure of considerable importance even in the Douluo Continent. If he were to concede defeat on behalf of the Shrek Academy team, it would undoubtedly have a negative impact on the academy.

"Me?" Xie Huanyue was a little confused, wondering if she had misheard.

“Yes, it’s you.” Cai Meier repeated.

Actually, it's not a glorious thing to represent Shrek Academy in admitting defeat. After all, Shrek Academy is a sacred place for soul masters that has stood for ten thousand years. In many people's minds, Shrek Academy holds an extremely lofty position.

Even though Shrek Academy's reputation has collapsed in the Sun Moon Empire, there are still some people who stubbornly worship Shrek Academy.

Xie Huan Yue was a little annoyed, thinking to himself, "If you don't want the wounded to go, why don't you let others go, and why do you have to make me go?"

However, since Cai Meier insisted, he did not have the courage to go against her. So he directly flew to the competition stage in his flying soul tool and said, "Referee, on behalf of the Shrek team, I request to concede defeat in both the individual elimination round and the team competition."

The referee looked at Xie Huanyue with some surprise, recognizing the Shrek Academy uniform on him. In fact, he remembered Xie Huanyue, not because of his strength, but because of his Shrek Academy background.

"Are you sure?" The referee asked again, still somewhat uneasy.

Xie Huanyue felt his face burning. He didn't really want to admit defeat on behalf of the Shrek team, after all, he had always been proud to be a student of Shrek Academy and had a sense of honor in his heart.

However, he nodded and said somewhat weakly, "I'm sure."

"Alright." The referee deactivated the soundproof soul-guided shield, flew off the arena, took out a soul-guided megaphone, and announced with a beaming smile, "Shrek Academy has conceded defeat in both the individual elimination round and the team competition. I hereby declare the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy the winner of the first round!"

Upon hearing this, the gamblers who had bet on Shrek Academy turned ashen-faced. After all, Shrek Academy's concesion meant that all their money bets on Shrek Academy had gone down the drain.

It's worth noting that, aside from the previous Soul Fighting Tournament, Shrek Academy had consistently won all previous tournaments, securing the championship with an invincible momentum. Therefore, gamblers were extremely confident that Shrek Academy would win.

Some gambling addicts even sell their family property and go all in, hoping to get rich overnight.

But who would have thought that Shrek Academy would ever admit defeat in a competition?

Some of the more agitated gamblers began shouting angrily, "Shrek Academy, you son of a bitch, give us our money back!"

"Shrek Academy, how can you face us, your supporters?"

"Shrek Academy has lost the game like this, they have no shame. Instead of facing the challenge head-on, they retreated in the face of battle. With this attitude, they will have to admit defeat to Mingyu Sect. After Mingyu Sect loses, they will have to lose to some other minor sects or academies. After that, no one will have to lose to them."

Hearing the unbearable shouts and curses, Xie Huanyue lowered her head in shame, then quickly flew off the competition stage and joined Cai Meier and her group.

Hearing those words, Cai Meier was also a little angry. As an elder of the Sea God Pavilion, no one had dared to rebuke Shrek Academy in front of her for many years.

If these people who were denouncing the academy were in Shrek City, she would definitely make them know how serious the consequences of slandering Shrek Academy's reputation are.

But this is Mingdu, where there are people far more powerful than her. For the safety of the students, she cannot attack these people, otherwise she would be giving the Sun and Moon people a reason to attack her.

Her gaze swept over the faces of the Shrek Academy team members, and she noticed that their expressions were rather unpleasant. So she activated the soundproof soul guide shield, preventing any outside noise from entering.

She then said, "Those spectators in the stands who were angrily criticizing us have no long-term vision and don't understand that this is a strategic surrender."

Don't feel guilty about admitting defeat. Once we win the championship, all those angry voices will disappear instantly.

Hearing Cai Meier's words, everyone's expressions softened somewhat.

Cai Meier then said, "Next, I will contact Bei Bei and ask her to arrange a meeting with Huo Yuhao, since they have known each other for quite some time."

Of course, I'm not trying to get rid of Huo Yuhao. This is Mingdu; trying to eliminate Huo Yuhao would only be asking for trouble. I will invite him to join Shrek Academy.

"Huo Yuhao is wasting his talent by staying at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. I hope he can bring his talent to Shrek Academy."

......

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy Waiting Area.

Huo Yuhao received a warm welcome from his teammates as soon as he returned.

"Yuhao, your strength is unbelievable! You actually forced Shrek Academy to admit defeat! This feat will surely leave a strong mark on the history of the Sun Moon Empire." Xiao Hongchen put his arm around Huo Yuhao's shoulder, his face full of excitement.

"Junior Brother Yuhao, I'll go find Grandpa later and ask him to arrange a celebration banquet for you. After all, you are a great contributor to our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team," Meng Hongchen said happily.

For these contestants from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, defeating Shrek Academy in the competition has always been their dream. After all, in previous competitions, whenever the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy faced Shrek Academy, they always ended up losing the match.

In the previous tournament, although Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy won the championship, Shrek Academy chose to withdraw from the competition. The Sun Moon team lost the opportunity to compete against Shrek Academy, which undoubtedly left a regret in that tournament.

Chapter 348 Is this fantasy time?

Even though Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy won the championship, the regret still remained. However, this regret was made up for when Shrek Academy conceded defeat in the match against Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Di Qiu'er walked over at this moment, but unlike the others, she did not have a joyful expression. Instead, her face darkened slightly, and she grabbed Huo Yuhao's left wrist.

Huo Yuhao was a little confused, not knowing what Qiu'er was going to do.

He asked with some confusion, "Qiu'er, what are you doing?"

Looking at Huo Yuhao's face, Di Qiu'er immediately explained, "Senior Yuhao, I'm checking your physical condition. After all, you just defeated Jiang Nannan and came into contact with Tang Sect's hidden weapons. I don't know if you're injured. You're the backbone of the team, so if you're injured, you need to get timely treatment."

"Senior Yuhao, you don't want to be unable to play in the upcoming matches because of your injury, do you?"

Need a medical check-up?

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao thought to himself, everyone else was cheering for their victory, but Qiu'er's focus was different from theirs.

Huo Yuhao said with a smile, "Qiu'er, I am a spirit-type soul master, and my spiritual power is very strong. No one understands my physical condition better than me."

"I wasn't injured in the slightest during my fight with Jiang Nannan, so how could I possibly be wounded?"

As he spoke, he tried to pull his hand back, but Di Qiu'er noticed Huo Yuhao's intention and immediately used even more force to pull Huo Yuhao's left hand back, and then grabbed Huo Yuhao's left hand.

She said fiercely, "Don't move!"

Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, and he stopped what he was doing.

His left hand was held by Qiu'er's soft little hand.

At this moment, Di Qiu'er was concentrating on pouring her soul power into Huo Yuhao's body. The power of Haoqiu was instantly activated, and the soul power of the two showed signs of merging. Her soul power flowed within Huo Yuhao's body, and the gold in her eyes became increasingly intense.

After a moment, Di Qiu'er withdrew her hand and said calmly, "Indeed, there's nothing wrong. Senior Yuhao, you should be able to continue participating in the competition for the next few days."

"Hmm." Huo Yuhao nodded, then caught a glimpse of Xiao Hongchen gritting his teeth out of the corner of his eye: "Huh? Xiao Hongchen, why do you look so pale?"

Xiao Hongchen forced a smile: "It's nothing."

He had just witnessed Di Qiu'er shaking hands with Huo Yuhao and thought to himself that Di Qiu'er was really good at finding opportunities. On the other hand, his own sister, although she was usually very nice to Huo Yuhao, was not as clever as Di Qiu'er in this kind of situation.

Today, they dared to use the excuse of getting a medical check-up to hold hands.

What will I dare to do tomorrow? I don't even dare to think about it.

Just then, Bei Bei, using his flying soul tool, arrived above the waiting area of ​​the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. He slowly landed on the ground, looked at Huo Yuhao, and said with some helplessness, "Yuhao, would you mind coming with me? Dean Cai of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy is very interested in you and wants to discuss some things with you."

He didn't really want to approach Huo Yuhao about this matter. After all, based on his understanding of Huo Yuhao, it was absolutely impossible for him to betray the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and join Shrek Academy.

Therefore, Dean Tsai's plan will definitely come to nothing.

However, since this was Cai Meier's request, and she was doing this for the future of Shrek Academy, he couldn't say much and could only follow Cai Meier's instructions to invite Huo Yuhao to discuss matters.

Huo Yuhao was stunned and puzzled. He wondered why Cai Meier wanted to talk to him. Could it be that she wanted to harm him? But that didn't make sense. Cai Meier's IQ couldn't be that low. This was Mingdu, not Shrek City. If she wanted to harm him, how could Cai Meier protect the students?

So he asked, "Brother Bei, what does Dean Cai want to discuss with me?"

An awkward expression appeared on Bei Bei's face. He didn't know how to answer for a moment. He couldn't very well say in front of these Sun Moon team players that Dean Cai wanted to poach Huo Yuhao and make him leave the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to become a student of Shrek Academy.

Then I reckon I'll be surrounded and given a good scolding by these Sun and Moon people in no time.

So he said, "Yuhao, you'll see when you get there. I swear on the honor of Shrek Academy, you will not encounter any danger when you go to discuss matters with Dean Cai."
