Douluo Continent: We agreed on a simulation, but they've come to life?

Even the wealthy Sun and Moon Empire team only had one level 5 invincible shield per person.

When the protective shield breaks, that will likely be the moment they perish.

At this point, no one had any hope left for the game.

The outcome of the match is clear: Lu Cheng alone is enough to wipe them out. This terrifying flame can burn everything. If they continue to resist, they will only face certain death.

Ma Rulong's eyes were bloodshot, his teeth clenched in anger, and he struggled to raise his hand: "We..."

But the sound was suddenly interrupted.

"We concede defeat."

Lu Cheng spoke first.

The latter slowly withdrew its fiery aura from its body, and the power of the three-legged golden crow that had just intimidated all directions gradually disappeared into the world. Looking at Huang Jinxu, who was completely dumbfounded, a smile appeared on its face, and it slowly spoke.

"..."

The scene was eerily quiet.

The entire world was silent.

Hundreds of thousands of spectators stared blankly and bewildered at Lu Cheng, who raised his hand and admitted defeat, completely baffled.

Meanwhile, the Sun Moon Empire Royal Team on the opposite side was dumbfounded. As their invincible shields shattered one after another, they were completely exposed to the surrounding dry and scorching air currents. But instead of the expected fatal blow, the opposing team... surrendered?!

No one could understand Lu Cheng's logic.

He alone clearly overwhelmed the entire Sun Moon Empire, making it hard for them to breathe. The match was clearly over the instant he made his move.

But why...did he admit defeat?

However, many powerful individuals, recalling the events of a few days ago, had a strange look in their eyes, crossed their arms, and looked on with amusement.

Today's match was interesting.

"You mean... you're admitting defeat?" Huang Jinxu was inwardly shocked and exclaimed, "Here it comes!" but he still asked with a blank expression.

"Not bad." Lu Cheng touched the ground with his toes, the fiery wings behind him dissipated, and he landed on the ground, a smile appearing on his face. "Shrek Academy concedes defeat..."

"Why humiliate us like this?" Ma Rulong said, shaking his head as if his face had turned ashen.

The match is best-of-three.

Even if he loses this round, Shrek will still be the champion if he wins the next two. This is the only explanation he can think of.

Xiao Hongchen's face, which had been filled with joy, froze.

Many members of the Sun Moon Empire team looked at Lu Cheng with anger in their eyes. He could have won directly, but he insisted on humiliating the Sun Moon Empire like this. It was too much.

Meng Hongchen bit her red lips lightly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

Lu Cheng, however, smiled gently and shook his head.

"Wrong, Shrek Academy surrenders."

"And... not just in this team battle, but in the regular competition, Shrek Academy... completely surrendered in the finals."

Lu Cheng said with a smile.

However, it was interrupted by a sharp, piercing sound the next moment.

"You fart!!!"

Yan Shaozhe rushed out at this moment, his eyes bloodshot, glaring angrily at Lu Cheng, waving his hands: "Shrek Academy has not surrendered!"

"Referee, his word doesn't count. He's a madman. Shrek Academy has never surrendered, never!"

This guy is really crazy...

Yan Shaozhe's face was contorted with rage as he stared intently at Lu Cheng. If it weren't for Huang Jinxu and Zhang Lexuan, who was watching him like a hawk, he would have already slapped the little beast to death.

Yeah.

After waiting for so long, it turns out I was holding back something big.

"Shrek Academy has not surrendered! This little bastard is just spouting nonsense. Even without him, our team can easily win!!" Yan Shaozhe roared.

“But…” Huang Jinxu frowned slightly.

Lu Cheng himself said he would admit defeat.

Moreover, none of the other participants objected. Regardless of whether they could win or not, as long as they said they were surrendering, they would accept it.

However, Yan Shaozhe on the other side was, after all, the dean of the Martial Soul Department, a person of high rank and great power, with considerable prestige, and not someone to be easily offended.

Wang Yan's eyes were also red. This was his hard work, and he had finally made it to the finals. How could he possibly admit defeat? "Yes! We demand a rematch! Even if Lu Cheng doesn't play, we can still crush them!"

"This is unfair to the other team members."

"All the competitions we've achieved are the result of the hard work and dedication of all the Shrek Academy team members, not just his achievement! How can he dismiss our efforts with just a few words!"

Ling Luochen stared blankly, while Gongyang Mo looked at Lu Cheng with a complex and puzzled expression.

"..."

Chapter 136 Lies Don't Hurt, Truth Is the Sharpest Blade (Part 2)

"His Majesty……"

Dai Hao looked at Xu Jiawei, whose eyes narrowed slightly as he surveyed the farcical competition. He shook his head, deciding there was no need to get involved. Shrek Academy remained one of the Star Luo Empire's important allies, and they couldn't afford to offend it so easily.

Although he also had feelings for the young man, who was full of vigor and just like the young man he had dreamed of in his youth, and whose future seemed promising, he was, after all, an emperor and had to be responsible for the interests of the entire empire.

However, he wouldn't show favoritism towards Shrek.

After all, outsiders only thought that Lu Cheng was alone, but he was almost "certain" that Lu Cheng had joined the Body Sect.

The latter's foundation is in no way inferior to Shrek Academy.

Their Star Luo Empire is equally untouchable.

Therefore, although the two sides are now "causing trouble" on their own turf, he still chooses to play the coward and not help, watching from the sidelines until things calm down, and then he will step in to end this farce.

The Sun and Moon Empire was equally bewildered.

Ma Rulong, Xiao Hongchen, and the others stared at everything in astonishment, their pupils gleaming with a mixture of surprise and excitement. If only Lu Cheng had spoken, they probably wouldn't have believed him, but now that Yan Shaozhe and the person in charge of Shrek Academy were so anxious to distance themselves from Lu Cheng, it meant that this guy was really planning to vote.

Regardless of everything else, just this one thing... everyone has to call him "Dad," he's so incredibly generous, just handing over the final championship like that.

Don't worry about how you won.

If they obtain it, they will break Shrek Academy's undefeated myth. They will be the glory of the Sun Moon Empire for thousands of years to come, and the only team to have ever "defeated" Shrek.

History is written by later generations, and it is also easily forgotten.

People will only remember that they ultimately won the game.

Moreover, judging from this, this young man is definitely not of one mind with Shrek Academy. It's obvious that Yan Shaozhe's indifferent attitude a few days ago chilled the young man's heart, and this monstrous genius might even be someone the Sun Moon Empire could win over...

No academy could help but be impressed by Shrek Academy's almost abnormal dominance in this competition. Shrek Academy, which has carried a heavy burden on its own and has come this far, is like an insurmountable mountain standing in the way of countless geniuses.

All the participants were geniuses, but even among them, he could still run rampant.

When Ma Lao arrived at the edge of the field, he exchanged a glance with Ma Rulong, and both grandfather and grandson could see the excitement in each other's eyes.

Win them over!

It's such a waste to throw away such a fat piece of meat.

Unlike the others who were rapidly changing their minds, Yan Shaozhe was truly brimming with confidence.

They finally managed to pick a fruit, but that little beast Lu Cheng wanted to smash it completely, so no one could have it.

If it were in the past, when Ma Xiaotao and the others were still recovering, he would have no choice but to swallow his anger and watch Lu Cheng's expression. But now... he can confidently tell Lu Cheng to get lost.

"Referee, Shrek demands a rematch!" Yan Shaozhe took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger, and looked at Lu Cheng with a cold smile. Heh, no matter how you struggle, I no longer need you to save face. Xiao Tao is the captain of my team.

Upon realizing this, he felt a sense of ease and contentment.

After all, it ruined that kid's prank plan, made him look foolish in the competition, and also allowed all the audience to see clearly that even without Lu Cheng, Shrek Academy could still completely crush the opponent. At that time, those audiences who became infatuated with Lu Cheng because of Shrek Academy would also be able to see the true face of this little beast.

"Rematch... hiss..."

Huang Jinxu frowned slightly.

The participants aren't just Shrek Academy, but also the Sun Moon Empire Royal Team. And now it's the crucial finals. You think you can just rematch it like that?

With hundreds of thousands of eyes watching, where is the dignity of the Star Luo Empire?

After hesitating for a moment, he looked at Lu Cheng and said in a deep voice, "Student Lu Cheng, today's controversy was caused by you. You took the initiative to surrender, so now it is your turn to explain the reasons."

Upon hearing this, Lu Cheng nodded slightly.

He spoke in a loud voice.

"Now that the finals have come this far, you must all be wondering why Shrek Academy's main team only has three players, and why they've been sending their reserve team players almost the entire time, right?"

"..."

The scene suddenly fell silent.

Apart from Xu Jiawei and others who knew the inside information, the other academy factions all looked on with amusement, their ears perked up and their faces full of doubt.

They were also puzzled, after all, Shrek Academy valued the competition more than any other academy, and now that they had only sent three main players, it was really... unreasonable.

"Lu Cheng, how dare you reveal even the slightest bit of academy secret!!"

Yan Shaozhe roared from the sidelines.

With his level 95 Super Douluo power surging, a radiant phoenix was about to forcefully suppress Lu Cheng.

This kind of thing can be a big deal or a small deal.

If Wang Yan were to bring up this incident when Shrek Academy wins the championship and gives his acceptance speech, he could use a subtle approach, simply mentioning that he sacrificed himself while hunting evil spirit masters, without describing any other details. This would praise Shrek Academy's traditional virtues and indomitable spirit, and incidentally create some momentum for Shrek.

But now that the outcome of the finals is uncertain, and since it was Lu Cheng who brought this up, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Ultimately, this whole thing is just unbelievable.

A level 98 Super Douluo personally led the team, but the result was that four people were seriously injured, almost losing their legs and feet, and three others suffered minor injuries. These were all Shrek Academy's most elite disciples. The unanimous decision made by Elder Mu and other elders of the Sea God Pavilion after their meeting was to minimize the impact of this matter and let it fester within the upper echelons of Shrek Academy.

Otherwise, once the news gets out, the whole continent will know.

The system severely wastes "geniuses," causing those passionate young people to die in foreign lands. This system itself is abnormally distorted, and as the dean, who controls the data, he naturally knows this better than anyone.
