After the host announced the victory of the team battle, the faces of the audience, except for a few who had bet on the Royal Fighting Team out of curiosity, were filled with nothing but regret and pain.
Some of the audience members completely lost it. They knew how fierce the Mad God Team was, and they never expected this to happen in tonight's team battle. They also didn't expect that the Mad God Team, whom they had been looking forward to, would be utterly defeated.
Looking at the Royal Fighting Team members standing straight on the stage, the audience's eyes were filled with hatred and anger. But without exception, no one dared to provoke the Royal Fighting Team members because these onlookers were all just gamblers.
Gamblers are a group that doesn't need pity.
A moment later, the Royal Fighting Team, led by Yu Tianheng, walked off the stage.
After the team battle ended, Qin Ming and Cheng Xiao left the viewing area and went to the waiting room for the battle teams.
As soon as they entered, they heard the cheers of the Royal Fighting Team members. Among them, Yu Feng and Ao Siluo were the most excited, because besides them, the rest of the team were rather aloof and silent.
"Teacher." Seeing Qin Ming and Cheng Xiao return together, Yu Tianheng stood up from the sofa and walked towards Qin Ming.
"You performed well tonight, Tianheng." Qin Ming looked at Yu Tianheng with satisfaction, then turned his gaze to the others. "You all did well in today's soul battle, each fulfilling your roles."
"However, I still want to ask, what insights did you gain from today's soul battle?"
"Insights?" Dugu Yan thought for a moment, then said, "I felt the opponents were too weak. Compared to the Soul Master teams in Heaven Dou City, they were far too weak."
"That's right, Sister Yan, Teacher. They were really too weak; it didn't even pique my interest!" Yu Feng said.
"It seems your insights are all focused on the opponents." Qin Ming sighed and said, "Can anyone tell me what else you can learn besides the weakness of the opponents?"
"Teacher, I think we were able to defeat our opponents so easily this time because they didn't understand our strength. Also, without understanding our strength, they underestimated us. So I think we should be careful and avoid getting into trouble because of arrogance."
Yu Tianheng pondered for a moment, then spoke logically and reasonably.
Finally hearing what he wanted to hear, a smile appeared on Qin Ming's face. He looked at the Imperial Sky team and praised without reservation, "Good, Tianheng. That's what soul battles are like. Once you underestimate your opponent, you'll only end up at a disadvantage."
"However, the weakness of the opponent is one thing, but your teamwork tonight was also perfect. As your teacher, I am very pleased. The team soul battle will continue tomorrow, and it will still be the seven of you. As for the solo soul battles and the two-person soul battles, you can also sign up for those."
"Alright, if there's nothing else, let's go back to the hotel and rest. After all, you have to continue participating in the soul battles tomorrow, so you need to be in good shape."
After speaking, Qin Ming waved his hand towards the crowd, signaling that they could leave the Great Soul Arena.
Having been given permission to leave, the Imperial Sky team excitedly walked out of the rest room. However, when they reached the door, they noticed many hateful gazes. Obviously, those were the gamblers who had lost all their money.
The Imperial Sky team didn't pay any attention to these gamblers and quickly left the Great Soul Arena with Qin Ming.
Cheng Xiao, as always, walked at the back of the team with Ye Lingling. On the way to the Rose Hotel, Ye Lingling suddenly spoke, and her cold voice made Cheng Xiao pause.
"It seems that many people will hate us tonight."
Hearing this, Cheng Xiao pondered for two seconds and said, "Let them hate us. It was their freedom to bet on that team; it has nothing to do with us."
"You're right," Ye Lingling nodded slightly, then surprisingly said, "Next time you bet, remember to include my share."
"You're short on money?" Cheng Xiao asked, puzzled.
"I'm not short on money, but who doesn't like having more?" A rare smile appeared on Ye Lingling's calm face.
"So that's the kind of Lingling you are," Cheng Xiao said with a smile.
The next day, Shrek Academy.
The sun today was exceptionally bright, the sky was clear and cloudless. Although it was still early morning, the sunlight already felt a bit hot.
Grandmaster's shadow was stretched long by the sun. He stood with his arms crossed in front of his chest, waiting for the Shrek Seven Devils to stand in formation. His stiff expression made it impossible to read his emotions. "Who can tell me what happened yesterday? What exactly happened that made Flender, the headmaster, plead for you to rest for a day? Tang San, you tell me."
Grandmaster's gaze swept over the Shrek Seven Devils, his eyes filled with a hint of anger. He truly couldn't fathom what had happened to make Flender delay their training, just to give the Shrek Seven Devils an extra day of rest.
"Teacher, the day before yesterday, we..." Tang San stepped forward when Grandmaster called his name and recounted everything that had happened the day before.
"Absurd!" After hearing Tang San's account, Grandmaster coldly glanced at Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun. "Because of the two of you, Flender got you a day off yesterday. Since you two are almost recovered, everyone, later, you will run ten laps around Soto City, with weights."
"Aren't you brimming with energy? If you don't finish today's training, no one eats!"
Hearing this, Ma Hongjun, whose heart was already hurting, couldn't help himself. He glared at Grandmaster and said, "My Martial Soul has a defect. The dean knows this. I didn't just cause trouble when I went out; I was just trying to vent my evil fire. Why are you punishing us?"
"You have the nerve to argue?" Grandmaster pointed at Ma Hongjun and rebuked him. "I am the teacher, and you are the student. If you don't want to complete the training, you can leave the team anytime. After all, you're just a coward with a flawed Martial Soul!"
"Who the hell are you calling a coward!" Hearing Grandmaster call him a coward, Ma Hongjun immediately exploded. Purple-red light surged from his body, instantly releasing scorching energy. A blood-red phoenix phantom appeared behind him, flickering. At the same time, two yellow Soul Rings rose from beneath his feet, and his hands transformed into claws.
Watching Ma Hongjun's furious appearance, Grandmaster sneered and calmly said, "What? You want to attack me? If you want to prove you're not a coward, immediately retract your Martial Soul, and then run with the weights. Otherwise, what difference is there between you and a coward?"
At this moment, Tang San also spoke. Looking at the furious Ma Hongjun, he frowned and advised, "Fatty, the teacher isn't wrong. You should quickly put away your Martial Soul. We delayed training for a day yesterday because of you and Dai Laoda, so we deserved the punishment."
"Besides, aren't we a team? After we finish the punishment and get stronger, we'll be able to help you get revenge!"
Tang San's words made everyone present feel a little uncomfortable, especially Dai Mubai. It wasn't a big deal to postpone training for a day and be punished, and he knew it was because of him. But somehow, he really didn't like the way Tang San said it.
Hearing Tang San's words, Ma Hongjun also realized he was a bit too emotional. But as a man who had lost two important things, his heart was still fragile and sensitive.
Although they were preserved, what was the difference between them and a toothpick? He was suffering even more!
Slowly retracting his Martial Soul, Ma Hongjun stood in the team, saying nothing.
Seeing this, Grandmaster snorted coldly and said, "Alright, now all of you, immediately start running. The second phase of training tonight is still waiting for you."
As soon as the words fell, Tang San was the first to dash out. As Grandmaster's disciple, he only knew how to obey unconditionally.
The others saw this and reluctantly followed, especially Ning Rongrong. In the past few months, she had seen through Grandmaster's so-called devil training. It turned out that the devil training was just running with weights?
Just as the Shrek Seven Devils ran out, a figure appeared beside Grandmaster. The person was Flender.
"Don't worry, Xiao Gang, Ma Hongjun had a bit of an accident," Flender said with a wry smile.
"What? You, a Soul Sage, can't even prevent your own direct disciple from having an accident?" Grandmaster glanced at Flender, mocking him.
"Xiao Gang, I..." Flender was rendered speechless by Grandmaster's words, and could only sigh helplessly.
"Hmph, Flender, I'm doing this for your sake. Otherwise, I would have kicked Ma Hongjun out of the team a long time ago," Grandmaster said coldly.
"Yes, yes, I know you have good intentions." Hearing this, Flender smiled ingratiatingly, then said, "But, you made them run for so long, can they still complete the soul battle training tonight?"
"What's there to be afraid of? According to my theoretical analysis, their physical fitness can easily handle these ten laps. For the soul battle training tonight, let them participate in two-on-two and one-on-one matches. They won't participate in the team soul battle tonight."
"That works. Anyway, you have the authority, so just arrange it."
"By the way, Flender, I have something to ask you. Your students are being bullied, what are you, the headmaster, doing? Are you just going to watch your students get bullied and do nothing?"
"Also, who exactly are these people? It's not like they did anything that bad, just picked on a female Soul Master. Why go so far?"
Hearing this, Flender shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Xiao Gang, you don't need to worry about this. As the dean, I'll find a way to handle it."
"Hmph, you'd better be able to handle it," Grandmaster glared at Flender.
Helplessly, Flender could only nod, indicating that he could solve the problem. However, even he himself wasn't sure how to resolve this matter, which had started because of them.
