Chapter 412: Don't Generalize an Isolated Incident
After hearing Elder Song's words, Cai Mei'er's furrowed brows finally relaxed, and a smile appeared on her face.
"As expected, having an elder in the family is like possessing a great treasure."
With Elder Song leading them, she was now confident that they could successfully return to Shrek Academy with their students.
She immediately said, "Elder Song, your insight is remarkable!"
Mingyue Hotel – Star Luo Team's Quarters
Elder Song, accompanied by Xian Lin'er and Cai Mei'er, went to meet Xu Jiujiu.
After a cordial discussion, they quickly reached an agreement.
After all, while Xu Jiujiu was younger, her status was extremely high.
As a princess of the Star Luo Empire, even the White Tiger Duke Dai Hao had to pay his respects when meeting her.
She naturally had the authority to decide whether to cooperate with Shrek Academy.
Xu Jiujiu was willing to cooperate with Shrek Academy for two reasons:
She wanted to ensure the safety of the Star Luo Team's members and get them home safely.
Now that the Sun Moon Empire had fully exposed its ambitions, the Star Luo Empire had no choice but to align itself with Shrek Academy in preparation for the inevitable war.
Without Shrek Academy's support, the three Douluo nations stood no chance against the Sun Moon Empire's military might.
Their soul tools were too advanced, and their ability to train Soul Engineers made them an overwhelming force on the battlefield.
Attacking the Sun Moon Imperial Palace was undoubtedly dangerous, but it was better than sitting around waiting for destruction.
Before long, Elder Song, Cai Mei'er, and Xian Lin'er left the Star Luo Team's quarters and headed toward the Snow Demon Sect's lodgings.
Previously, when Elder Xuan attacked the Snow Demon Sect, the Body Sect's leader, "Du Busi" (Du Busi), personally intervened to stop him.
This undoubtedly meant that the Snow Demon Sect had strong ties with the Body Sect
perhaps it was even just a front for them.
Even though Shrek Academy's relationship with Du Busi wasn't great, Elder Song believed that facing the shared threat of the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult, she could still convince him to cooperate.
However, when Elder Song arrived at the Snow Demon Sect's residence, she found the door wide open.
After Elder Xuan's attack, Mingyue Hotel had taken the initiative to repair the rooms for them, ensuring they had a place to stay.
She hesitated for a moment, then stepped inside
Inside, a middle aged woman in gray robes was cleaning the room.
On the back of her robe, the words "Mingyue" were embroidered, clearly marking her as hotel staff.
Apart from her, the room was completely empty.
Elder Song frowned in confusion:
"Where are the Snow Demon Sect members who were staying here?"
The middle aged woman paused, glanced back at Elder Song, and realized she didn't recognize the elderly woman.
Nonetheless, she patiently explained:
"They checked out this morning and left the hotel.
They said that since they'll be competing in the semifinals tomorrow, they were worried that Shrek Academy, out of jealousy, might launch another secret attack on them at night.
They didn't want their competitors' mental state to be affected, so they decided to relocate."
"What?!"
Elder Song's face darkened in fury.
"This is slander!
Shrek Academy is the continent's number one Soul Master academy and a sacred land for Soul Masters!
How could we ever resort to such disgraceful tactics right before the semifinals?
This is nothing but blatant defamation!"
Even if Shrek Academy were to attack, with Du Busi's protection, the Snow Demon Sect members would still be completely fine.
Clearly, this was just the Snow Demon Sect holding a grudge and trying to smear Shrek Academy's reputation.
The middle aged woman responded defiantly:
"Oh? But wasn't it Elder Xuan from Shrek Academy who attacked them at night before?
Didn't he already prove that Shrek Academy was willing to do something like that?"
Hearing this, Elder Song's expression froze in embarrassment.
After a few seconds of silence, she finally said:
"Don't generalize an isolated incident.
Elder Xuan acted alone, and his actions do not represent Shrek Academy as a whole."
"By the way, do you know where the Snow Demon Sect relocated to?"
Although they seemed deeply resentful toward Shrek Academy, Elder Song wasn't ready to give up on recruiting them.
After all, Du Busi was a Rank 98 Super Douluo his strength was undeniable.
If they could secure his help, it would greatly increase their chances of success in both attacking the palace and retreating safely.
The middle aged woman shook her head:
"No, they didn't say where they were going."
Elder Song's expression darkened, but she ultimately decided to leave with Cai Mei'er and Xian Lin'er.
The semifinals were happening tomorrow
Once the match was over, they could still find the Snow Demon Sect to discuss cooperation.
Mingdu Suburbs – Tournament Spectator Area
The stands were packed with people, and the arena was buzzing with chatter.
Since today's match was between the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy and the Snow Demon Sect, most of the audience who were Sun Moon Empire citizens were rooting for their academy's team.
They hoped to see the Sun Moon Academy crush the Snow Demon Sect and later defeat the Holy Spirit Sect in the finals
Securing back to back championships.
In the VIP Seating Area
Prince Xu Tianran sat in the main seat and turned to Jing Hongchen, saying:
"Hall Master Hongchen, how long do you think the Sun Moon Royal Academy will take to win this semifinal match?
The Snow Demon Sect is strong.
They were even under Du Busi's protection during Elder Xuan's attack.
This suggests that the Body Sect, like the Holy Spirit Cult, is using a disguise to enter the tournament."
Given Huo Yuhao's extraordinary talent, Xu Tianran was certain that under his leadership, the Sun Moon Academy would defeat the Snow Demon Sect.
Jing Hongchen bowed slightly and said:
"Your Highness, I believe it will only take seven rounds.
With Huo Yuhao's strength, he can defeat seven opponents in a row during the individual elimination matches and directly qualify us for the finals."
Jing Hongchen had absolute faith in Huo Yuhao.
After all, Huo Yuhao was now a Rank 74 Soul Sage.
So far, no other Soul Sage had appeared in the tournament.
With his vast arsenal of abilities, even without using the Ice God Battle Armor, Huo Yuhao was virtually unbeatable.
Xu Tianran glanced at Jing Hongchen, a bit surprised.
"Winning seven consecutive matches is no small feat.
Even if he can replenish his soul power using sealed Milk Bottles, the mental fatigue from back to back battles will be a huge factor.
The Snow Demon Sect has Body Martial Souls, and many of them have undergone Second Awakening.
That kind of power is not to be underestimated.
From an overall strength perspective, I'd say the Snow Demon Sect is even stronger than the Shrek Team.
Even for Huo Yuhao, defending the stage alone against seven of them seems unrealistic."
Jing Hongchen smiled confidently:
"Your Highness, just wait and see.
No one understands Huo Yuhao's strength better than I do.
I guarantee the result will not disappoint you."
