Chương 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?
