Martial Soul: Luo Sanpao, Starting by Conquering Liu Erlong!-Chapter 167: The End of the Team Battle and the Disagreement Between Two
Chapter 167 - 167: The End of the Team Battle and the Disagreement Between Two
Yu Xiaogang, who had originally planned to have Ma Hongjun and the others continue to wear down Xiao Yu, was now in a state of frenzy upon hearing Flender's decision to surrender. He shouted, "Flender, what are you doing?! Why are you surrendering? On what grounds are you surrendering?! They can still fight! Why are you surrendering?!"
"Xiaogang, what can Oscar and the others even do?! Even Dai Mubai, who had the strongest strength after his martial soul mutation, was severely injured by Xiao Yu in one move. What can Hongjun and the others do?! If you want to fight, go fight yourself! I don't want my other students to get hurt! This is just a match!! I'd rather lose the money than see them harmed!" Flender angrily retorted.
"Fine, Flender! I never expected you to be so cowardly. I misjudged you!! So what if Xiao Yu defeated Dai Mubai? I refuse to believe his soul power hasn't been drained at all! I refuse to believe he can continue to defeat everyone! Fatty, Oscar, hurry up and attack!! Do you want to be punished with laps?!" Yu Xiaogang shouted at Ma Hongjun and Oscar on the stage.
"Teacher, we..." Ma Hongjun, the strongest among the students present, looked conflicted as he watched his teacher and master arguing fiercely.
"Yu Xiaogang, shut up! I am the dean of Shrek Academy. Shrek is mine! It's not your personal dictatorship! Referee Zhi Lin, Shrek Academy surrenders, we surrender!!" Flender, seeing Yu Xiaogang's stubbornness and his insistence on having his disciples and Oscar fight Xiao Yu to the death, felt a deep sense of despair and helplessness as he shouted at Referee Zhi Lin.
Yu Xiaogang, hearing Flender, who had always obeyed him, now refusing his orders, trembled with anger.
But since Flender wasn't listening to him, there was nothing Yu Xiaogang could do to change the fact that Flender was the dean.
Thus, Yu Xiaogang could only fume in silence.
Referee Zhi Lin, clearly tired of their bickering, casually announced, "Blue Tyrant Academy versus Shrek Academy, Blue Tyrant Academy wins!!"
Soon after the referee's announcement, the entire arena erupted into enthusiastic applause.
The reason was simple: Xiao Yu's presence had truly opened their eyes.
They never expected to see a Soul Emperor in action.
Nor did they expect today's match to be so thrilling. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
"..."
Finally, as the match concluded, some figures watching from the shadows quietly disappeared.
Clearly, they were returning to report what they had witnessed.
Ma Hongjun and the others, seeing that the dean had not followed Yu Xiaogang's orders to fight Xiao Yu to the death, breathed a sigh of relief.
They had been worried that the dean, like Yu Xiaogang, would stubbornly insist on them fighting the terrifying Xiao Yu.
If even Dai Mubai couldn't win, how could they possibly defeat Xiao Yu, who had effortlessly defeated Dai Mubai?
As the match ended, the various academies left the arena in an orderly manner, returning to their respective schools.
With the conclusion of the final team battle, the team preliminaries were officially over, and the rankings of the academies were now fixed.
The only academy that remained undefeated was the unstoppable Blue Tyrant Academy.
The other top five academies each had one or two losses.
Shenfeng Academy had two losses.
Blazing Fire Academy had two losses!
Heaven Dou Royal Academy had two losses!
Shrek Academy had two losses!
Canghui Academy, ranked sixth, also had two losses, but since they had lost to Shrek Academy, they were ranked below Shrek Academy, placing sixth.
Although they were sixth, this was still a significant improvement over their previous results.
Tomorrow, the final day of matches would determine the order of advancement for the finals in Spirit City.
The matches tomorrow would be one-on-one battles in a round-robin format.
This format was designed to allow the nobility to better observe talented individuals who might not excel in team battles but had exceptional individual strength.
After tomorrow's matches, the top five teams would depart for Spirit City to compete against the teams from the Star Luo Empire and the seeded team from the Spirit Hall.
"..."
On Shrek Academy's side, the losers were now shrouded in gloom.
Their attitude of announcing a challenge but then deliberately being late had earned them whispers and pointing fingers as they walked back.
Hearing the murmurs around them, Tang San felt deeply uncomfortable.
As the son of the Clear Sky Douluo, his mindset had gradually changed.
He was no longer the Tang San who preferred to endure in silence.
Now, as his strength grew, his edge was beginning to show.
With a dark expression, Tang San stopped and said to Flender, "Dean, for tomorrow's individual matches, let me go. Let me finish the duel with Xiao Yu that we couldn't complete today, alright?"
Flender, without much hesitation, replied, "Sure, go ahead. Just don't be late again."
After witnessing Xiao Yu's strength today, Flender had completely given up on the idea of defeating him. Thus, he didn't care much about the outcome of tomorrow's matches. Since Shrek Academy had already qualified for the finals, tomorrow's individual matches wouldn't affect their overall ranking.
"Alright, thank you, Dean. I'll take my leave now."
With that, Tang San once again separated from the group and ran toward the city outskirts.
Yu Xiaogang, watching Tang San run off, wore a cold expression filled with resentment toward Flender.
It had been a perfect opportunity to weaken Xiao Yu's strength. Why hadn't Flender let Fatty and the others continue fighting?
If they had fought and weakened Xiao Yu, wouldn't his combat power have been significantly reduced for tomorrow's individual matches?
Wouldn't that have increased Tang San's chances of winning?
Why couldn't Flender see something so obvious?
"Dean, how should we arrange tomorrow's individual matches?" Dai Mubai, pale-faced, asked Flender.
Flender glanced at Dai Mubai and, after a moment of silence, said, "Do your best. If you win, great. If you lose, it's fine. Our overall ranking is already set, so we don't need to worry about the advancement matches. The purpose of the advancement matches is to help the nobility identify talented individuals. It doesn't affect us much."
Hearing Flender's words, Dai Mubai nodded slightly.
"Flender, you're being foolish! Tomorrow is our last chance to defeat Blue Tyrant Academy. If you don't seize this opportunity, you'll spend the rest of your life under Liu Erlong's thumb!" Yu Xiaogang, hearing Flender's passive approach, shouted.
