Martial Soul: Luo Sanpao, Starting by Conquering Liu Erlong!-Chapter 140: The Universally Despised Shrek Academy

At this moment, within the largest Great Spirit Arena in Heaven Dou City, capable of accommodating the most spectators in the entire Heaven Dou Empire, the stands were packed to the brim.

As the fireworks lit up the sky, the audience erupted into wave after wave of enthusiastic cheers.

As a prestigious event held once every five years across the continent, even the opening ceremony and the first round of preliminaries attracted countless eyes.

With the continuous bursts of fireworks, the atmosphere in the arena reached its peak. At this moment, under the guidance of the staff, the participating teams from various academies quickly entered the competition grounds.

The spectators in the stands watched with excitement as the teams of students entered the arena in an orderly fashion.

Soon, as time passed, the waiting areas for the various academy teams were filled with participants.

As more and more students arrived, the academies began to observe each other's teams with interest.

They started speculating about the strength of the participants from each academy based on the information they had gathered beforehand.

As more and more teams entered the Spirit Arena, the stands grew increasingly lively.

However, when a team dressed in dark green uniforms, adorned with an ugly monster emblem and a sponsorship advertisement on their backs, entered the arena, the spectators couldn't help but show expressions of disdain.

The excitement on their faces immediately vanished upon seeing this team, replaced by looks of disgust and contempt. frёeωebɳovel.com

Although the team's uniforms looked comical, no one mocked them openly. This silent disdain and indifference were far more unbearable than outright ridicule.

This team was none other than Shrek Academy, which had recently gained notoriety across the Douluo Continent.

Although they had become famous, it was for all the wrong reasons.

Rumors had it that their academy harbored evil soul masters who could bring disaster to the continent.

Although Spirit Hall had later used its authority to clear Shrek Academy's name, most people, adopting the attitude of "better safe than sorry," still regarded Shrek with disdain and dissatisfaction.

Flender and Yu Xiaogang, leading the team into the arena, had mentally prepared themselves for the cold and disdainful gazes around them. They walked in with their heads held high, confident that their reputation would be completely overturned as long as they achieved ultimate victory.

"Is this the Shrek Academy that shelters evil soul masters? Looking at their pathetic appearance, no wonder they rely on evil soul masters. Without the methods of evil soul masters, this trash academy probably wouldn't even qualify for the competition."

Just as the Shrek team entered their designated waiting area, a sneering voice came from the neighboring area.

Hearing this, Flender didn't say much. He simply spoke lightly, "Mubai, go see who's running their mouth."

Dai Mubai turned to look and saw a group of students in white uniforms sneering at Shrek Academy.

"Oh, so it's the losers from Soul Land Academy. What, have you forgotten how we beat you like dogs a few years ago?"

The students from Soul Land Academy, upon hearing Dai Mubai's words, immediately changed their expressions.

Their leader sneered, "Hmph, your academy harbors evil soul masters. Who knows if you won back then because of their abilities?"

"Ridiculous. Even Spirit Hall has cleared our name. Are you saying Soul Land Academy is more authoritative than Spirit Hall? Or are you questioning Spirit Hall's authority?"

As soon as Dai Mubai said this, the students from Soul Land Academy immediately showed fear.

If such a statement questioning Spirit Hall's authority were to spread, their academy would be in deep trouble.

Seeing the situation turning sour, their teacher, Ye Zhiqiu, quickly stepped forward.

"Shrek Academy, don't put words in our mouths. We're just stating the facts. You know very well what your academy is like. Whether you're sheltering evil soul masters or not, you know best.

This tournament is filled with elites. If Shrek Academy wants to make it to the end, I don't believe you can do it without showing some flaws!"

"Hmph, our school motto is 'Only the mediocre avoid trouble.' Soul Land Academy is just a trash academy that only knows how to talk big. You'd better pray you don't run into us, or I alone can easily wipe out your entire academy!"

"Enough, Mubai. Why waste words on a bunch of trash who only know how to talk? When we defeat them in the competition, they'll naturally shut up!"

Tang San sneered as he looked at the scene.

In just a few verbal exchanges, the tension in the arena had already ignited.

The spectators, seeing Shrek Academy's arrogance, also began to mock them.

Although they had mentally prepared themselves before the competition, being subjected to such insults from the moment they entered was unbearable for anyone.

"These bastards! Spirit Hall has already cleared our name. Why do they still refuse to believe it?! Do they think they're more authoritative than Spirit Hall?

Spirit Hall is really something. So many people are openly defying their authority, yet Spirit Hall hasn't made a move. If they just executed a few ringleaders, I don't believe the others would dare to accuse Shrek Academy of sheltering evil soul masters!"

Flender spoke with an extremely grim expression.

Yu Xiaogang, however, remained calm and composed. He said indifferently, "It's fine, Flender. The world is full of fools. They only believe in baseless rumors. Once we achieve ultimate victory, these idiots who only know how to gossip and talk will naturally shut up. Besides, the more they mock us now, the more they'll have to worship us when Shrek becomes the truth!"

"Xiaogang is right. Alright, everyone, give it your all. Show everyone just how powerful Shrek Academy is!"

Flender didn't mention clearing the name of evil soul masters but instead emphasized proving Shrek's strength. After all, he knew very well that Tang San's cultivation methods weren't much different from those of evil soul masters.

It was just that they trusted Tang San more.

The onlookers, seeing Shrek Academy acting as if they were the only ones awake in a world of fools, wished even more that a team would step up and crush this arrogant Shrek Academy.
