Chapter 374: Chapter 201 First Match, The Debut of New Shrek_1

Ning Fengzhi smiled at the corners of his mouth and nodded as Qin Xiao arrived.

Qin Xiao could understand; this was a crowded place, indeed not a place for lengthy conversations.

He nodded slightly, considering it a response.

"May I ask why Your Majesty has summoned me, what is the matter?" Qin Xiao asked directly.

Qian Renxue, with a gentle smile, said, "It's just that His Majesty the Thunder Emperor seems more suited to sit here."

What?

Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, a look of astonishment appeared on Qin Xiao's face. What kind of joke was this? He was a team member, okay?

However, with so many people around, he had to save Qian Renxue some face and couldn't speak too bluntly.

"I appreciate Your Majesty's kindness."

"It's just that I am but a commoner and don't have the right to sit here."

He politely refused.

However,

a mischievous spark flashed in Qian Renxue's eye, as if she hadn't understood Qin Xiao's words at all and, taking a few steps forward, pulled him to the seat.

"His Majesty the Thunder Emperor, there's no need to belittle yourself; how many in the entire Tiandou Empire can compare to you? So-called nobles are not worth mentioning."

"I have already reserved a place for you, please sit next to Sect Master Ning."

Uh... Qin Xiao was completely speechless.

He had no words for what Qian Renxue had said.

After a moment's thought, he still nodded and accepted Qian Renxue's request. He also wanted to see just what tricks Qian Renxue was playing.

"Well then, I shall humbly comply," Qin Xiao conceded.

"Good."

Qian Renxue, wearing a warm smile, called out, "Everyone, please take your seats as well."

After speaking, she took the lead and sat down.

In the VIP section at the very front, the three seats became four.

The second row then belonged to Dream Divine Machine and others.

However, they had no objections to Qin Xiao taking a seat in the front row.

After all, some of them had witnessed firsthand how Qian Renxue had secured the throne, largely thanks to this young man's intervention.

Now recalling Qin Xiao's unsurpassed elegance, they were still filled with admiration.

But many did not understand.

"Hey, who is that young man, and why is he sitting with His Majesty?"

"Now that you mention it, I've noticed something too. Beside His Majesty is one from the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, Sect Master Ning Fengzhi, and another is Salas, the Spirit Hall Platinum Bishop. Who's that young man, and what has he done to sit on an equal footing with these people?"

"Could it be he's the heir of some major power?"

"Pfft, you say he's the illegitimate son of the Pope of the Spirit Hall, he doesn't have the right to sit there either!"

"But the problem is, he's sitting there, isn't he?"

Many in the venue cast their eyes on Qin Xiao.

They were curious about his identity.

But this mystery wouldn't remain unsolved for long.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please let us welcome with the warmest applause the last team to enter the competition."

"They are the nine members of the Shrek squad from Blue Tyrant Academy."

At the same time, the announcer shouted with enthusiasm.

The entire audience was once again stirred up, paying no further attention to Qin Xiao, turning their gaze to the last competing team.

"Shrek, what a strange name?"

Many began to murmur.

However, when Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, Ah Yin, Meng Yiran, Jiang Zhu, Huang Yuan, Jing Ling, and others appeared, everyone was thrilled.

"Damn, it's actually a team of beauties!"

"They're so pretty; these girls are even more stunning than the Skywater Battle Team beauties!"

"..."

The many over-eager spectators, whistled lewdly.

But seeing Huang Yuan and Jing Ling after all, everyone felt it was a letdown.

"It's a pity, those two lads at the back really spoil the scene. They really shouldn't be on stage... it should be me instead."

Of course, although they found Huang Yuan and Jing Ling an eyesore, they were envious and wished to be in their place.

That's human nature.

Once Zhu Zhuqing and others stood firm on the stage, the announcer continued, "Ladies and gentlemen, please give another round of warm applause to these nine members of the Shrek squad!"

However, as soon as the announcer finished speaking, he realized something was amiss, "Wait, wait, why are there only eight people?"

Even in his mind, he checked quickly once again, and there were indeed no mistakes, only eight people.

So, the question was, where was the last person?

But as an experienced announcer, he knew it was not the time to fuss about the missing team member but to find a way to save the situation.

He immediately smiled and said, "Haha, you must all be aware that it's quite normal for a team of nine members to have eight people."

Laughter broke out below the stage.

Yet, the awkward atmosphere was diffused, followed by a warm applause.

However, some observant individuals noticed that the clothing of the Shrek people on the stage seemed familiar.

Subconsciously, they glanced at Qin Xiao, and suddenly they became somewhat unsettled.

"Hey, why? I feel the clothes of the person next to Sect Master Ning seem extraordinarily similar to those of the Shrek members?"

"Now that you mention it, I've also noticed the issue. Their clothes are not just similar, they're exactly the same."

"Is it possible then, that young man is a member of the Shrek squad?"

Some were full of doubts.

But, the next moment, their voices of skepticism were drowned out by a tide of opposing voices.

"What a joke, I've never even heard of the Shrek squad, do you think one of its members has the right to sit with His Majesty and great figures like Sect Master Ning?"

"Brother, you really dare to dream, I think you still don't grasp the concept of what kind of person gets to sit on an equal footing with His Majesty."


Chapter 375: Chapter 201 First Match, The Debut of New Shrek_2

```

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. At most, the two of us just happened to wear the same outfit, that's all."

"..."

Besides the people from Blue Tyrant Academy, nobody believed that Qin Xiao could be a member of the Shrek squad.

Seeing that the crowd was excited, the emcee hurriedly announced the next step, which was for Qian Renxue, disguised as Emperor Qinghe, to give a speech.

After the speech ended, the competition matchups were decided by drawing lots.

However, when the results were announced, Qin Xiao was taken aback.

What's going on?

The only match today had also been drawn by the Shrek squad, and their opponent was the Sky Dou Royal Team Two, representing the Sky Dou Royal Academy.

He instinctively looked towards Qian Renxue, who also looked at him, and Qin Xiao clearly saw the smile at the bottom of Qian Renxue's eyes.

"Did you rig this?" he secretly sent a message to Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue gave no explanation.

In an instant, Qin Xiao understood, so the trick was here.

Qian Renxue's purpose was to prevent him from taking part in the match.

"Heh, then you've made a mistake. Even without me, the Shrek squad can easily thrash any team from the Tiandou Empire."

"Only the Golden Trio from Martial Soul Hall might be able to put some pressure on them, perhaps."

Qian Renxue's ears caught the sound of Qin Xiao's voice again.

Under Qin Xiao's gaze, Qian Renxue still wore a look of disbelief.

If the Shrek squad were really that dominant, why would he, Qin Xiao, even need to participate in the match?

It's completely unrealistic, isn't it?

Little did Qian Renxue know that Qin Xiao was after the extra rewards.

Meanwhile.

In the competitor's rest area.

Meng Yiran asked, "Zhu Qing, His Highness said when he left that you're taking over as captain to command us. How should we line up for the upcoming matches?"

Without much thought, Zhu Zhuqing responded, "You, me, Rongrong, Yanyan, Ah Yin, Jing Ling, Jiang Zhu, let's all go on stage."

Upon hearing Zhu Zhuqing's arrangement, Ning Rongrong and the others showed no objections.

However, Jing Ling frowned, "I don't think this is very reasonable. Since we've already sent one supporter, there's no need for Jiang Zhu to go up as well, right? I think Huang Yuan is more suitable than Jiang Zhu."

He felt that this would be more logical.

Two supporters don't make much sense.

Yet, Zhu Zhuqing shook her head and said bluntly to Jing Ling, "You've misunderstood; we chose Jiang Zhu to support you, to ensure you don't get hurt."

"You're going up just to meet the requirement of having seven people on the team. To deal with those people, the few of us are enough. Having an extra Huang Yuan wouldn't provide much more output."

Ah, this... Upon hearing Zhu Zhuqing's words, Jing Ling felt deeply struck.

Jiang Zhu waved her fist lightly, "Jing Ling, don't worry. With my healing ability, it might be tough to take care of everyone, but if it's just looking after you, I'll definitely keep you safe from harm."

At this, Jing Ling fell silent.

I'm a Direct Attack Class Battle Soul Master, and yet I've fallen to the point where I need a supporter to take care of me.

The world has really gone to the dogs.

At that moment, the voice of a servant came from outside the rest area, "Members of the Shrek squad, it's your turn to enter the stage."

...

When Zhu Zhuqing led the group onto the stage, they found that the members of the Star Luo Royal Team were already waiting in the ring.

Regardless of the members' strengths in the Star Luo Royal Team, they certainly looked impressive.

Each one seemed to be in their early twenties, their dashing valour enhanced by their pale golden uniforms.

Beyond that, each person's face was either brimming with confident smiles or showing arrogant expressions.

It was as if they had already secured victory.

"The Shrek squad? Why would anyone use the name of a soul beast for a team's name?

Even if you called yourself the Datura snake, it would be a hundred times better, right?"

At the forefront of the Star Luo Royal Team, a flashy-dressed girl with ample cleavage spoke disdainfully.

```

Undoubtedly, her words to the Shrek squad were filled with barely concealed hostility.

Or rather, she had no intention of disguising her hostility at all.

It couldn't be helped.

After all, when Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and the others stepped onto the stage, the eyes of the male members by her side nearly popped out, their gazes fixed so intensely as if their souls had been hooked away, making her feel very jealous.

Looking at the few girls, each with their own merits, she felt as if she were eating a basket of lemons, so sour it was unbearable.

She felt her own radiance was overshadowed, and her pride in her figure was nothing compared to that of the girl in the black leather outfit at the very front.

I'm... no longer the darling of the team.

So, of course, she wasn't going to show the Shrek squad any pleasant expressions.

But.

Within the Star Luo Royal Team, it seemed as if no one heard her words.

Especially the petite captain at the forefront, who stared at Ning Rongrong lecherously; he liked them like that, white and tender, they looked very moist.

"Little beauty, interested in having a meal with big brother?"

Ning Rongrong's face darkened; this person disgusted her greatly.

In contrast, the petite captain seemed even more excited, "Heh heh, I like it even more when you've got personality. Big brother promises you, if you just nod your head, I can go easy on you, letting you last a bit longer on the stage, how about I give you enough face?"

"Go die, you androgynous freak!" Ning Rongrong couldn't hold back any longer and coldly refused.

Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's words, not only the captain of the Star Luo Royal Team but also the faces of the other members instantly turned cold.

They all knew too well that although the captain always did those ambiguous things, he hated being called androgynous the most.

"You dismiss the toast only to drink a forfeit. The opportunity was given to you, but it turns out to be useless.

Then don't blame us for being ruthless later on," said the captain of the Star Luo Royal Team in an ominous tone.

By his side, the flamboyant woman, after hearing his words, revealed a smug smile on her face.

Hmph, you won't die if you don't court death. Offend the captain and you'll suffer.

She knew all too well that the captain liked to play some perverse games that were hard for people to withstand.

Just then, the announcer's voice spread throughout the arena again, "Please prepare, members of both teams."

As his voice fell, the members of the Star Luo Royal Team immediately reacted.

The captain of the Star Luo Royal Team and the woman beside him stood still, unmoving.

The five muscular members behind them stepped forward, forming a line like a wall, protecting them at the back.

In contrast, the members of the Shrek squad seemed disorganized.

Their formation hadn't changed at all since they stepped onto the stage.

Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran were at the very front. Ah Yin, Ning Rongrong, and Dugu Yan stood side by side. Jing Ling and Jiang Zhu were at the very back of the team.

...

"Your Majesty, it looks like the ones to win this contest will very likely be our Star Luo Royal Team.

Even though it's Team Two, their quality is obviously more than a notch higher than that of the Shrek squad members," Dream Divine Machine said with a smile plastered on his face behind Qian Renxue.

He felt proud; after all, the members of the Sky Dou Royal Team Two were students he had trained in a strict sense.

"Is that really so?" Qian Renxue glanced at the calm Qin Xiao and started to have doubts in her heart.

She did not see the emotions she expected in Qin Xiao's eyes—wandering, shock, unease—none of these emotions would appear on that man's face beside her.

Qin Xiao was too calm; it instead made her feel unsettled.

"Inevitable outcome."

Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Dream Divine Machine was almost ready to guarantee with a thump of his chest: "Even if we set aside quality and talk only about strength, the average cultivation level of our members from Sky Dou Royal Team Two is also above level 35.

As I see it, among the many members of the Shrek squad, only Dugu Yan has a higher cultivation level than them. After all, the members of Shrek seem a bit too young..."

What he meant was simple: in this context, being young was not an advantage but a disadvantage.

After all, the normal line of thinking is that youth implies a shorter training time, weaker cultivation...

But is that really the case?
