Just as everyone was still immersed in Tang San's impassioned declaration in the Shrek Academy lounge, fantasizing about how to crush Purple Star Academy on the field, an eager figure suddenly pushed open the door and entered.
"Something terrible has happened! Dean Flander! A major incident has occurred!"
The person who arrived was Qin Ming. His face was full of anxiety and disbelief, and even his breathing seemed a little disordered.
Flander frowned and said in a deep voice, "Qin Ming, what's the panic? What happened? Is the sky falling down?"
Qin Ming strode to the front of the group, panting heavily, and said, "Dean, this is worse than the sky falling down! Just now, His Majesty's order came from the palace. Emperor Xue Ye has ordered that everyone from Shrek Academy be... all expelled from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"
"What?!"
These words immediately caused an uproar in the entire lounge.
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" Dai Mubai was the first to jump up, shouting angrily, "We are the Heavenly Fighting Team, representing the Empire in this battle! What right does he have to drive us away?"
Ma Hongjun chimed in, "Exactly! This is so unreasonable! We're geniuses! Don't they want the championship title?"
Liu Erlong was furious. He slammed his fist on the table and stood up: "That old bastard Xue Ye! How dare he! Xiao Gang has put in so much effort for the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, what right does he have to just kick him out like that?"
Qin Ming's face was bitter as he continued, "The order is real, even I... am no exception. Tian Heng and the others were originally from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, and they could choose to stay. But... if they choose to stand with us, their fate will be the same—they will all be expelled."
These words were like a bucket of ice water poured over everyone's heads.
Just then, the door to the lounge was pushed open again.
This time, it was the arrogant Prince Xuexing who walked in, followed by three education committee members: Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhilin.
What was even more chilling was that on either side of them followed a squad of royal soldiers clad in heavy armor and wielding long spears, their cold armor reflecting a chilling light under the lamplight.
Seeing this display of force, everyone understood that this was no joke.
Meng Shenji looked at Qin Ming and the Shrek Academy teachers and students, a trace of regret and reluctance flashing in his eyes, which ultimately turned into a sigh.
He walked up to Flander and said in a complicated tone, "Dean Flander, you must already know what happened. We tried to persuade His Majesty, but... the emperor's orders are absolute, and we, as his subjects, are powerless to do anything about it."
Yu Xiaogang could no longer sit still. He suddenly stood up, but the movement aggravated the wound on his severed finger, causing him to turn pale with pain.
He pressed on urgently, "Expelled? What about the competition? The list of participating members has already been submitted and cannot be changed! Without us, Team Tiandou can't even field seven players!"
He couldn't understand how Emperor Xueye could make such a foolish decision! Did he really intend to give up the championship of this competition and watch the Spirit Hall win?
However, Meng Shenji simply sighed again and did not answer his question. Instead, he turned to the side and made a "please" gesture towards the door.
This action says it all.
Yu Xiaogang understood instantly.
The Heaven Dou royal family has completely given up on them, abandoning their hopes of competing with the Spirit Hall for the championship.
And on whom will this hope be placed?
The answer is self-evident.
Purple Star Academy! It's that Purple Star Academy again!
Yu Xiaogang was trembling with anger. He couldn't understand why it was always that Dongfang Jing!
Seeing that the Shrek group was still standing there and showed no sign of leaving, Prince Snow Star finally lost his patience.
He swept his gaze over the crowd with a condescending look and said in a disdainful tone, "What? Are you planning to stay here and make us take matters into our own hands and ask you to leave?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers behind him slammed their spears to the ground in unison!
"Thump!"
The uniform, muffled thuds, accompanied by a chilling atmosphere, seemed to lower the temperature of the entire lounge.
That chilling tremor struck the hearts of everyone.
Flander's fists were clenched tightly, and his body trembled slightly from extreme anger.
What a humiliation!
But he knew that this was Tiandou City, the territory of the royal family.
We absolutely must not start a fight; they will be the ones who suffer.
Finally, the clenched fist slowly loosened.
Flander pushed up his glasses, his gaze sweeping over Yu Tianheng and the others behind the lenses. His voice was hoarse as he asked, "Tianheng, what about you? Are you coming with us?"
Yu Tianheng's eyes were unusually firm. He took a step forward without hesitation, demonstrating his choice through his actions.
However, the Graphite and Stone Mill brothers behind him, as well as Oslo and Yufeng, clearly showed hesitation.
They glanced at each other, and unconsciously took a step back, putting distance between themselves and Yu Tianheng.
They are students of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and their families are all in the Heaven Dou Empire.
Being expelled would have a huge impact on their future.
Seeing this, Flander understood.
He didn't say anything more, but just gave those people a deep look, then turned around, walked to the front, and waved to the people behind him.
"Let's go!"
Liu Erlong and Tang San helped Yu Xiaogang up, with Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun and others following closely behind.
As they passed by the former teammates who had chosen to stay, and the group of soldiers, Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai even let out a low snort that was almost inaudible to others.
His voice was filled with contempt and disdain.
It was as if to say that these royal lackeys were truly blind!
...
After Shrek Academy and his group walked out of the lounge, through the long player tunnel, and completely left the bustling Heaven Dou Arena, they were finally free from the noise and chaos of the arena.
The setting sun shone on them, but they felt no warmth whatsoever.
Standing on the bustling street, looking at the excited spectators around them, they felt a sense of bewilderment, as if they didn't belong in this world.
"Teacher, what... what should we do now?" Ma Hongjun looked around and couldn't help but ask, "We've been expelled from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, where can we go?"
Yes, where else can we go?
This problem, like a boulder, weighs heavily on everyone's mind.
Liu Erlong took a deep breath and said, "Of course we'll go back to Blue Tyrant Academy! Once we get back, I'll change the academy's name to 'Shrek'! And you, Boss Fu, will be the dean from now on!"
Flander habitually adjusted his glasses. He didn't object to becoming the dean, but his brow furrowed, and he said in a heavy tone, "But this means that this year's competition... is completely hopeless. If Xiao San and his team want to win, they'll have to wait until next year..."
"no!"
Before Flander could finish speaking, Tang San interrupted him.
