Chapter 160: Flender's "Conspiracy."
Upon hearing Master's words, Ma Hongjun's extinguished flame reignited.
"Master, are you serious?"
Seeing Ma Hongjun's fiery gaze, Master subconsciously took a step back, but remained expressionless as he nodded and said, "Indeed. You remember last time, when your flame collided with Qin Ming's, Qin Ming's flame seemed slightly suppressed by yours. Of course, it wasn't noticeable."
After Master finished speaking, Tang San, who seemed lost in thought, was the only one who understood. This was because Ma Hongjun's current Fire Phoenix possessed an extremely high flame temperature. To use the words of Dou Er, Ma Hongjun's Fire Phoenix Martial Spirit had probably reached the pinnacle of fire.
Just as Xuan Mo was internally grumbling,
"My research over the past few days has proven that Fatty's flames, at a certain level of cultivation, can suppress the flames of other fire-type spirit masters. Therefore, for this Blazing Fire match, Fatty will be playing."
Grandmaster's stiff face shifted slightly, and he looked at Tang San and continued, "Fat, you won't have to play this match. After all, the opponent is composed entirely of fire-type spirit masters, which is disadvantageous to you."
He gestured at Xuan Mo and the others, "So, for this match, Xuan Mo, Fatty, and Zhu Qing Mu Bai will lead the team. Then, we'll add Tai Long, Huang Yuan, and Jing Ling as substitutes."
Grandmaster had complete confidence in Xuan Mo's abilities, and even if they were truly defeated, Shrek still had their first, or even second, trump card to play.
Finally, after making his decision, Grandmaster looked at Tang San and the others again and asked, "Do you have any objections?"
Naturally, no one objected.
Even Xiao Wu, who had initially expressed some objections, was caught off guard by Tang San's preemptive reaction. She could only glare resentfully at Ma Hongjun. But for Ma Hongjun, it didn't matter at all; as long as he could play, it was all he cared about.
"Ahem!"
The master, noticing Xiao Wu's agitation, coughed to lighten the mood.
Then, he slammed the table and made a decision, "Since everyone agrees, let's proceed with tomorrow's match according to this schedule."
After deciding on the players for tomorrow's match, just as everyone was about to leave, Flanders suddenly walked in, stopped everyone, and asked a question.
"You don't really want to wear the promotional jerseys, do you? In that case, I'll follow everyone's lead and not wear them."
"Yeah! Great!"
A burst of cheers erupted, though only from the four substitutes, who hadn't fully understood Flanders yet.
People like Xuan Mo froze in their tracks upon hearing his words. Once they realized it was Flanders who had spoken, instead of showing their usual joy, they became wary.
At this moment, Ma Hongjun also approached Xuan Mo and whispered quietly, "Brother Mo, the teacher is definitely plotting something."
Hearing Ma Hongjun say that Flanders was plotting, Xuan Mo immediately rolled his eyes, glanced at Flanders, and whispered in Ma Hongjun's ear, "Everyone knows this..."
He glanced at Tailong and the others who were dancing excitedly nearby, "Except for those four, of course."
At this moment, Flanders seemed to have overheard Xuan Mo and Ma Hongjun's conversation and shifted his gaze to the two of them.
Xuan Mo and the others noticed and immediately shut up.
"Okay. I won't lie to you this time, but during the match, you must do as I say. Otherwise..."
Flanders' eyes narrowed as he stared at Dai Mubai, making him uneasy. "Don't blame me for spilling some juicy gossip about him... like all those ridiculous things so-and-so did back then. So, as captain, Mubai, you have to keep everyone in check..."
Hearing the words "juicy gossip" and "ridiculous things" sent a chill through Dai Mubai's body. He turned slightly to meet Zhu Zhuqing's gaze, only to find her staring intently at him.
Dai Mubai knew Flanders was a threat, but what could he do? Seeing his brothers' gazes, and recalling Zhu Zhuqing's scrutiny and a hint of curiosity, Dai Mubai made a quick decision.
"Don't worry, Dean, I'll complete the mission."
Dai Mubai stared at Flanders with a determined gaze, ignoring the murderous looks from Xuan Mo and the others.
For Dai Mubai, his own future happiness was more important in matters like this.
As for the brothers, they're just there to be "tricked," aren't they? "Very well, then, come with me." Without another word, Flanders dragged Dai Mubai back into the conference room, saying something incoherent.
When they emerged, Dai Mubai and Flanders were both utterly distraught, one looking ashen-faced as death, the other radiant with elation.
"Alright, since we've agreed, then you'll lead them to do this tomorrow, or else... hmph!" After Flanders's threat, his face blossomed into a chrysanthemum-like smile. He ignored the threat and walked away with a sullen expression.
After Flanders left, Zhu Zhuqing approached Dai Mubai and demanded, "Did you do something wrong to us and hide it from us?!"
Upon hearing Zhu Zhuqing's words, Xuan Mo, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar exchanged glances, thinking to themselves, "Zhuqing, Dai Mubai isn't hiding anything from us, he's just hiding it from you..."
Meanwhile, Dai Mubai quickly pointed to the sky, warning with his eyes—no, pleading with Xuan Mo and the other two. He grinned at Zhu Zhuqing with a flattering smile.
"I swear to God! I'm not hiding anything from you."
Zhu Zhuqing narrowed her eyes, staring intently at Dai Mubai before snorting softly, "Hmph! I'll believe you for now! Tell me what the dean said that made you look so grim."
Then, pressed by the others, Dai Mubai revealed what Flender had told him to do for tomorrow's competition.
And then...
"Ah! Dai Mubai, you're selling out your brothers!"
"You're going to be punished by heaven!"
"It's over, it's over! I'm completely ashamed now."
...
The next day.
"Lao Mo, are you sure you want to do this?"
In the competition lounge, after hearing Xuan Mo's instructions, Dai Mubai and the others, their veins bulging, suppressed the urge to curse, and asked Xuan Mo again.
"That's right, that's it."
"Fuck you!"
Dai Mubai slammed the report on the table.
Written clearly in black and white across the report was a single word: "reckless."
"That's how you deployed it, just this one word!"
"Who said that." Xuan Mo frowned, then pointed to the white paper with some dissatisfaction and said, "This is the result of my hard work for a whole night. Look, there is a line of small words below. This is the real deployment."
"Oh!"
Everyone was immediately interested when they heard it, and picked up the white paper to take a closer look. Wow, there really was a line of words written, but it was a little too small, and it was a bit tiring to look at.
So Dai Mubai gave a thumbs up to Xuan Mo as everyone's eyes lit up, "Old Mo, we really didn't see it wrong, you have real skills!"
"That's it! Who am I, who am I!"
But not long after, when everyone saw the line of words clearly, everyone collapsed in their seats, and Dai Mubai complained directly, "Well, we can't have hope."
I saw that the line of words read...
