Chapter 166: The Poisoned Chicken Soup Has Failed?
Ning Rongrong thought about it and decided to stay at Shrek for the time being.
Zhu Zhuqing was the other guardian she had chosen for herself, and she absolutely could not let that lecherous tiger Dai Mubai trick her into leaving again; she had to stay here and watch closely.
Furthermore, although Yu Xiaogang, that buzz cut, was quite useless, treating the two of them—master and Disciple—like electronic pets held a unique kind of amusement.
Seeing that his daughter had decided to stay here temporarily, Ning Fengzhi didn't say much more. After giving a few simple instructions, he turned and left.
The entire time, he didn't have the slightest thought of conversing with Master Yu at the door.
This incident once again dealt a critical blow of ten thousand points to Xiaogang's self-esteem.
"Insolent! You all forced me into this!"
"This Master's wisdom must not be desecrated! Evil Jiang Li, evil Tang Sect, evil Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"
"This Master will definitely make you pay a heavy price!"
The successive blows and mockery gradually twisted Master Yu's heart. At this moment, he had only one thought: to go to Spirit City as soon as possible and borrow the power of Bibi Dong!
Inside the room, after receiving treatment from Ning Fengzhi, the injuries of the Shrek members had basically recovered significantly.
However, physical injuries were easy to heal, but psychological trauma was not so easy to mend.
Shrek Academy's so-called teaching policy of only cultivating Geniuses, and constantly instilling in their students the notion that they were monsters, not ordinary people—in other words, cultivating an invincible mindset in their students.
If everything went smoothly along the way, it naturally wouldn't be a problem. Even for Tang San of the Heaven Dou First Team, they could use excuses like Jiang Li being a Titled Douluo, being able to provide many resources they lacked, or secret methods to gloss over things.
But today, they lost so miserably to the Royal Fighting Second Team, which they considered a stepping stone.
Flender sighed and comforted them, "Little Monsters, you don't need to take this defeat too seriously."
"We lost this time largely because we lacked sufficient information on the Royal Fighting Second Team, coupled with the Tang Family members being dishonorable and colluding with the Heaven Dou Imperial Family to place their own Disciples within."
"With our personnel configuration, advancing to the finals would have been an easy matter, and we would have had a chance to win!"
"..."
As Flender fed them the Chicken Soup mouthful by mouthful, color began to reappear in the eyes of Yu Tianheng and the others.
Especially Dai Mubai, who knew that his teacher, the buzz cut, had not gone to Spirit City to seek help from that person.
So what if the Royal Fighting Team had better talent? When getting by in this world, one needed to consider influence and connections; the advantage was still with them at Shrek!
...
After the first round of matches ended, the round-robin competition continued.
However, with the brilliant performance of the Royal Fighting Team setting the standard, the audience found watching other matches somewhat dull.
Salas observed the teams from the Heaven Dou Empire and, after confirming there were no other teams that could pose a threat to the Spirit Hall Battle Team, he breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Just as he was happily returning to his Platinum Temple, preparing to send the situation of the Royal Fighting Team to the The Pope's Palace via a secret letter, Qian Renxue appeared at his station right on schedule.
"Salas, do you not want to be a Platinum Bishop anymore?"
"Didn't I tell you that you cannot reveal even a single word about matters concerning the Tang Sect to that woman?"
Upon hearing this, the Platinum Bishop, who could practically summon wind and rain in the Heaven Dou Empire, looked like he was about to cry the next second. "Young Lord, you also know my duties; there are certain matters that must be done."
"Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to the Pope."
Qian Renxue listened and realized that what he said made sense. She then used her astonishing wisdom to analyze the situation and gave Salas a request that made his jaw drop. "Fine, I won't make things difficult for you in that regard, but there is one thing you must remember: ensure that the Shrek Third-rate Academy advances smoothly."
"And there must not be any trace left behind in this process."
Although Salas didn't understand and was greatly shocked, if such a matter fell within his authority, he could indeed accomplish it.
"Then Young Lord, should I inform Spirit City?"
"No need. If you cannot even handle this matter properly, you don't need to sit in the position of Platinum Bishop anymore."
During this period, Qian Renxue hadn't been idle either.
Relying on her special channels, she had investigated the life story of Yu Xiaogang almost thoroughly.
Moreover, based on the analysis previously provided by Jiang Li and her own assessment of Yu Xiaogang, the man would sooner or later use this opportunity to go to Spirit City to ask her foolish older sister for favors.
Even more excessively, he even wanted to rekindle their old flame and become Qian Renxue's false father!
Now, in the eyes of these people, the purpose behind Yu Xiaogang accepting Dai Mubai as a Disciple was almost common knowledge.
But to prop up this good-for-nothing to the position of Star Luo Emperor, even with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and the Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen backing him, it wouldn't be enough.
Thus, there was only one way: to borrow the power held by Bibi Dong!
However, this was something Qian Renxue could never accept.
'Damn buzz cut, you just wait. When you go to Spirit City, this Venerable One will have a grand gift prepared for you!'
...
The view returned to the Tang Sect side. For the meritorious contributors who had made the name of the Tang Sect known, Jiang Li naturally would not be stingy with the rewards in his hands.
He did not have any ten-thousand-year Soul Bones on hand for the moment, so he chose to bestow a lower-grade Immortal Herb upon the three of them, allowing them to eliminate the side effects of the Soul Breaking Spear Martial Soul when they advanced to Titled Douluo, which could be considered promising for the future.
"I am very satisfied with the performance of you three. Cultivate diligently, and in the future, use your Soul Breaking Spear Martial Soul to send those evil Tang Family members to Hell."
As soon as Jiang Li said this, the three members of the Yang family became as excited as if they had been injected with adrenaline.
Although the three of them were not biological brothers, their parents had both died violently during that catastrophe years ago.
Therefore, they hated the Clear Sky Sect to the extreme.
"Grand Elder, rest assured, we will definitely make them pay when the time comes!"
Jiang Li nodded with satisfaction and immediately made the next arrangements. "For the subsequent matches, you can play as you wish. Except for the Thunder Academy of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and Shrek Academy, whom you must heavily elbow, you can lose all other matches!"
