Too bad this world doesn't have Thanos. Otherwise, Huo Yuhao would really want to see if, after Thanos snapped his fingers and Zhou Yi and Xu Sanshi were left with nothing but a mouth, they would still say Thanos was nothing special. Such a stubborn mouth, why wouldn't they face reality?
What Zhou Yi didn't expect was that her words didn't anger Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao. Instead, a mocking expression appeared on their faces. Wang Dong'er chuckled and said,
"If you lose to the trash you speak of, what will you do?"
Zhou Yi's breath caught in her throat. She glared fiercely at Wang Dong'er, and coupled with her disfigured face, she looked extremely terrifying.
Zhou Yi had known Wang Dong'er was sharp-tongued from a long time ago, so she didn't bother to continue arguing with her. Instead, she turned to He Caitou and said coldly,
"Caitou, when the competition starts, if Shrek Academy meets the people from Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, don't hold back! In this competition, sometimes it's hard to control your strength, and it's normal for casualties to occur!"
A hint of hesitation flashed across He Caitou's face, but under his shifu's gaze, he could only nod his head in agreement, helpless.
"Understood, Teacher Zhou," He Caitou replied.
He Caitou understood just how frustrated Zhou Yi was right now. Unable to find trouble with Xuanzi, the one who caused her disfigurement, she could only vent her anger on the people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy in this way.
Although He Caitou felt that there was something fishy about the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy making Wang Dong'er and the others, who were so young, official team members, he, as a fourth-rank Soul Engineer, had absolutely no reason to be afraid of them.
The most crucial thing was that if he could really kill these geniuses, wouldn't that be considered revenge against the current Sun Moon Imperial Family?
Wang Yan, who was standing to the side, was immediately shocked by the conversation between the teacher and her student. You guys, even if you really want to kill the contestants from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, there's absolutely no need to say such things in front of them, right? If they did this now, wouldn't they be met with crazy targeting and counterattacks when they actually faced the other side? Even if Wang Yan couldn't figure out why the overall age of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy's contestants was even younger than those from Shrek Academy who had encountered the Death God's Messenger incident, he could tell just by thinking about it that this matter wasn't simple.
Wang Yan's expression was extremely serious as he rebuked them.
"Teacher Zhou! Watch your attitude! The Soul Master Tournament is a competition between academies on the continent, not a battlefield where you fight to the death!"
After the scolding, Wang Yan wanted to apologize to the teacher leading the team from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, but before he could speak, Zhou Yi coldly said.
"This is the battlefield! If you hold back during a fight, then the battle is meaningless!"
Wang Yan's expression was grim. He was supposed to be the nominal leader of the team for this Soul Master Tournament. Yet, first, they encountered the Death God's Messenger incident, and now Zhou Yi, that crazy woman, was at it again. Wang Yan was utterly exhausted.
In Old Man Ma's opinion, the two teachers from Shrek Academy were playing good cop, bad cop, trying to intimidate them. But Old Man Ma truly couldn't understand how they had the gall to say such things when their main team members were already down to only two.
Shrek, already suffering heavy losses, was facing the strongest generation from the Sun Moon Empire. If they couldn't utterly crush them, Old Man Ma wouldn't have the face to return and face the people of the Sun Moon Empire!
Old Man Ma shook his head and gave a carefree smile.
"Don't say such meaningless things. We'll see who's stronger when we meet in the tournament."
As Old Man Ma finished speaking, another door opened, and Zhang Lexuan and Ling Luochen walked out.
Zhang Lexuan didn't even glance at the people from Shrek. She met Old Man Ma's gaze and nodded.
"Let's go, the competition is about to start."
After saying this, he was about to lead Huo Yuhao and the others out of the hotel. However, after a moment of shock, Beibei strode toward Zhang Lexuan, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Sister Lexuan! What are you doing? Why are you with the people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy?"
Wang Yan was also filled with alarm, and urgently asked Ling Luochen, "Ling Luochen, didn't you leave a letter saying you were going to travel around to relax, and would come to Star Luo City in advance when the Soul Master competition started? But now, why are you with the people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy? What's going on?"
Wang Yan was dumbfounded.
As an excellent teacher from the outer court, although he wasn't very familiar with Zhang Lexuan and Ling Luochen, he knew them.
Not to mention that Wang Yan, as the leading teacher for Shrek Academy this time, had heard about Ling Luochen and knew the contents of the letter she had left behind.
Seeing them suddenly mixed up with people from the Sun Moon Empire, how could anyone not be surprised?
Facing Beibei and Wang Yan's questions, Zhang Lexuan said with a blank expression.
"Pay attention to your identities. I am now the lead teacher for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy. To avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings, I hope you can keep your distance from me."
Ling Luochen followed up immediately.
"I'm here, aren't I? However, I am now a member of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy's main team. Not only am I no longer affiliated with Shrek Academy, but I will also be your opponent."
Zhang Lexuan and Ling Luochen's words were like a bolt from the blue for Beibei and Wang Yan, and they were all stunned on the spot.
Especially Beibei, who felt Zhang Lexuan's cold expression and aura. Beibei's heart skipped a beat, feeling that the current Sister Lexuan was filled with unfamiliarity.
Ever since he could remember, Zhang Lexuan had always taken care of him, always gentle and generous. No matter how mischievous he was, Zhang Lexuan had never gotten angry with him.
But what was going on now?
Why had Zhang Lexuan become like this? Moreover, wasn't Ling Luochen a genius of Shrek Academy's inner court? Why would she say she was a member of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy's main team? What was going on that they didn't know about?
"Impossible! This absolutely cannot be! Sister Lexuan, you must have been threatened, right? I don't believe it, I don't believe you would betray Shrek! You're the senior sister of the inner courtyard! How could you do such a thing?!"
Beibei's voice echoed through the corridor, but he didn't notice that Zhang Lexuan's eyes turned colder after hearing those words.
Zhang Lexuan had never forgotten the scene of her family's destruction and her own survival. Before, without knowing the truth, she had served her true enemies for so many years. Now, Beibei, the great-grandson of her enemy, dared to bring up such a thing in front of her?
Betray Shrek? How did he have the nerve to say such a thing?
Seeing Zhang Lexuan's clenched fists, Huo Yuhao knew the fury she held within. He had the same thought when he saw Dai Huabin.
Thinking of Leng Qiuyu's words about Dai Huabin having his kidneys taken by the Death God's Messenger, Huo Yuhao unconsciously turned his gaze to Zhu Lu. He had already planned how to make Dai Huabin collapse mentally and physically when they met Shrek in the competition! And compared to revealing everything to Shrek right now, it was clear that exposing the other party's true colors at a critical moment in the competition would deal a greater blow to Shrek.
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao gently patted Zhang Lexuan's arm to comfort her.
"Alright, Sister Lexuan, there's no need to get entangled with this kind of trash. Let's go."
As he walked towards the hotel entrance, Huo Yuhao seemed to suddenly remember something. He turned back, a smile on his face as he asked Beibei, "Oh, right, Brother Beibei, why haven't I seen you with Xiao Ya-jie this time? Could it be true, as the rumors say, that Xiao Ya-jie has fallen and become an Evil Soul Master?"
"If that's the case, wouldn't you have to kill her yourself the next time you meet? After all, you at Shrek Academy have always been at odds with Evil Soul Masters!"
