As Huo Yuhao's voice rang out, the members of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy all turned to look at Beibei.
Beibei and the other members of Shrek Academy's reserve team, in turn, looked at Huo Yuhao and the young men and women standing beside him.
After clearly seeing the significant changes in Huo Yuhao's appearance, no longer looking malnourished as he had before, but instead resembling a handsome and spirited young man, Beibei's pupils widened, and his eyes were filled with disbelief and a sense of utter confusion.
Beibei knew that the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy's team was staying on the floor below them, and the uniform Huo Yuhao was wearing clearly identified his affiliation. His identity was now obvious!
The little guy he had met in the Star Dou Great Forest, who had only become a Soul Master at the age of twelve and whose first soul ring was from a ten-year soul beast, had now become the opponent they needed to be most wary of at Shrek Academy?
Thinking back to the time when Tang Ya had spoken without thinking, followed by her subsequent actions, which had led to a feud with Huo Yuhao, Beibei's heart sank.
Recalling his own experiences during this time, because of Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire outburst which resulted in the deaths of three Outer Court students, in order to protect the genius Ma Xiaotao, his own Xuan Lao had personally decided to use Tang Ya as a scapegoat, which led to Tang Ya truly falling and becoming an Evil Soul Master.
Not only had he lost love, but the glorious and lofty image of Shrek Academy in his heart had also been completely shattered.
Now, after the Death God's Messenger incident, only Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, the official team members, remained alive. Before the other senior students from the inner courtyard could arrive to assist, they could only rely on the reserve team members.
The immense pressure caused Beibei's voice to become unconsciously low.
"Yes, it has been a long time."
Before Huo Yuhao could say anything else, Xiao Hongchen, who was beside him, nudged his arm and asked with a raised eyebrow, "Do you know him?"
Huo Yuhao shrugged his shoulders, looking helpless. "Didn't I tell you before? Back in the Star Dou Great Forest, because I treated two people with the same attitude, they wanted to kill me? This Brother Beibei is one of them."
Hearing this, the smile on Xiao Hongchen's face abruptly disappeared, and his gaze towards Beibei became extremely sharp. After sizing him up and down, he said in a deep voice,
"You want to kill Yuhao? With you?"
Originally, the people from Shrek Academy were opponents that the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy couldn't avoid. Xiao Hongchen hadn't been very interested when he heard Leng Qiuyu say only two of their main team members were still alive.
But now, hearing that Huo Yuhao's enemy was among the Shrek Academy's contestants, Xiao Hongchen couldn't stay put.
Xu Sanshi didn't know what had happened in the Star Dou Great Forest, but seeing the situation become tense, he naturally stood by his good brother, and taunted Xiao Hongchen in a cheeky way.
"What's wrong? Isn't it only natural for us from Shrek to deal with you guys from the Sun Moon Empire?"
Xiao Hongchen sneered at the words and retorted.
"Just with you reserve team members? You almost got your main team wiped out dealing with a Soul King level Evil Soul Master, and you still want to fight us? I suggest you withdraw from the competition, don't embarrass yourselves."
Xiao Hongchen's words made everyone from Shrek Academy's faces change, and their eyes turned unfriendly.
How did these guys from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy know about this?
"Casualties are no big deal when dealing with Evil Soul Masters. Spreading the word will only enhance Shrek Academy's prestige.
But if they're dealing with an Evil Soul Master who's only at the five-ring Soul King level, and not only let him escape unscathed but almost get wiped out by him, that would be a huge blow to Shrek's reputation!"
For a moment, the reserve team members of Shrek Academy all felt heavy-hearted.
However, after a brief moment of shock, Xu Sanshi put on a brave face and stubbornly said, "What nonsense are you talking about? It's clear that we at Shrek don't even need to call on the inner court's powerhouses. Just us reserve team members from the outer court are enough to win the competition!"
Xiao Hongchen sneered upon hearing this, speaking without the slightest hesitation, "I hope you can still talk tough when the competition officially starts! Let me remind you, the contestants from our Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, except for the captain who's a bit older, are the same age as you, some even younger! Don't expect to use the excuse that you're just the reserve team after you lose!"
"And you, since you dared to attack Yuhao, you'll naturally have to pay the price. If you can hold on until you meet us, I hope you won't back down. At that time, I'll personally help Yuhao vent his anger! Don't be too fragile."
This time, Ma Rulong and the former main team members, who had only become reserve team members because they were defeated by Gu Yue'na and Wang Dong'er, finally understood.
At the time of the academy selection, Xiao Hongchen probably wasn't intentionally mocking them. It was just that this guy's ability to attract hatred was truly immense; a few casual words could fill the hatred meter!
Wang Yan sized up the members of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy's team, his eyes beginning to dart around.
If Xiao Hongchen was telling the truth, and their opponents were about the same age as Shrek Academy's reserve team, then perhaps Shrek's reserve team could go further, even win the final championship? After all, their side had more than just Beibei and Xu Sanshi, two geniuses. They also had Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu, a pair with a Soul Fusion Skill. Add to that Ning Tian's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda support, He Caitou's endless Soul Tools, and even Jiang Nannan, who seemed to have average talent, possessed the Invincible Golden Body, a skill that could be called divine!
If they were lucky enough to figure out their opponents' abilities, and with a little cooperation, then Shrek's reserve team, even if they didn't win the championship, could definitely hold out until Xuan Lao and the inner court students arrived!
Just as Wang Yan forced a smile, wanting to say a few pleasantries, Wang Dong'er suddenly asked.
"Um, I'd like to ask, didn't Shrek Academy's Teacher Zhou Yi come with you?"
Xiao Xiao was equally concerned about the answer to this question.
Back in Shrek Academy, they had never forgotten Zhou Yi's attitude. The reason they had worked so hard during this time, aside from not wanting to be left behind by Huo Yuhao, was that they wanted to slap Zhou Yi in the face! To let Zhou Yi know that even without her influence, they could still become strong!
Hearing Wang Dong'er's words, Wang Yan subconsciously turned to look at Zhou Yi beside him, and found that her face, already blasted by the Death God's Messenger, had become even more contorted.
From the moment Zhou Yi saw Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao, her mood had been unsettled. Now, hearing them ask about her, she immediately stood out and said coldly.
"So you two, after being expelled from Shrek Academy, defected to the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy? Letting trash like you become a regular team member just shows what level the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy is at now! In that case, you'd better pray you don't run into us from Shrek Academy! Otherwise, I'll have the students from Shrek make you fully realize that you are, in fact, trash!"
