Chapter 611 Enemies Meet on Another Narrow Road
After Tang San left, Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back and looked back at the rest of the Shrek Seven Devils:
As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle."
"Besides the Spirit Hall team and the Five Elements Academy teams that we pay special attention to, we also need to watch and learn about the matches of other academy teams."
"Those teams may not seem very strong, but it's hard to be sure that there aren't any hidden strengths among them. To avoid being caught off guard, we need to gather more intelligence on the other teams."
"It's good that your match ended early today, so you have plenty of time."
"Come on, follow me to the contestants' viewing area."
After saying that, Yu Xiaogang led the Shrek Seven Devils to the viewing area provided for the participating academies to continue watching the competition and gathering information.
As soon as I stepped out of the rest area, I ran into a group of people walking in from outside.
The moon-white outfits and the familiar words "Canghui"—who else could it be but the Canghui Academy team?
When enemies meet on a narrow road, their eyes collide in the air, sparks fly, and the two sides are locked in a fierce confrontation, neither able to stand the other, and the atmosphere suddenly becomes tense.
"Oh, it's you guys, obedient little white dogs."
As the saying goes, those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre. Although Flander was not present, his students had grasped the essence of this saying. As soon as they met with the Canghui Academy students, Ma Hongjun couldn't help but whistle and make a sarcastic remark.
Dai Mubai raised his hand, pointed at the young captain who was in charge with his index finger, then slashed his palm into a knife shape in front of his neck, making a throat-cutting motion.
Yu Tianheng didn't make any unnecessary moves. He stood straight next to Dai Mubai with his arms crossed, his eyes cold and arrogant, completely disregarding the people from Canghui Academy.
When Xiao Wu saw that a fight seemed to be brewing, she immediately rolled up her sleeves like a thug, ready to fight.
Ning Rongrong frowned and watched coldly, neither stepping forward to help nor intending to retreat. She didn't particularly like the people from Canghui Academy, but the provocative actions of Dai Mubai and his group also displeased her.
Oscar wanted to step forward and stand with Dai Mubai and the others, but when he turned his head and saw Ning Rongrong's displeased expression, he hesitated for a moment.
After spending more than two years together, he had pretty much figured out Ning Rongrong's personality.
Although Ning Rongrong is playful and mischievous by nature, a true little devil, she is actually very sensible. She doesn't cause trouble for no reason, nor does she like others to cause trouble for no reason.
Her current provocative behavior towards Dai Mubai and his group has clearly aroused her contempt.
Oscar hesitated whether to step forward and stand with his teammates, but then he remembered that he was just a food-type Soul Master with no combat ability. After thinking about it, he gave up the idea.
However, he was also prepared to make sausages by hand, ready to provide assistance to his teammates at any time.
The four substitute players looked at each other, somewhat confused as to why these Shrek kids were causing trouble again. They were even more spoiled than the spoiled brats themselves.
The Canghui Academy members had no goodwill towards the Shrek Seven Devils to begin with, and now, faced with their mockery and provocation, the team members, led by the youth captain, couldn't help but step forward to challenge them.
But Ye Zhi Qiu, the teacher in charge, stopped him.
Ye Zhi Qiu glanced coldly at the Shrek Seven Devils and his group, without saying anything more. The conflict between the two sides was irreconcilable, but the competition had rules that participating teams were not allowed to fight privately during the competition, otherwise they would be disqualified from the competition and expelled from the competition.
Let's leave all the conflicts for the competition.
After signaling the students of Canghui Academy to stop with his eyes, Ye Zhi Qiu coldly led them past the Shrek Seven Devils into the rest area.
"Tch, what a loser, a bunch of cowards."
However, Ma Hongjun had no intention of letting them off easily. The mockery on his face intensified, and his expression became even more arrogant. His small eyes darted around the Canghui Academy students, and suddenly he let out a surprised exclamation:
"Hey? Where's your old white dog named Shi Nian?"
Then, as if just realizing something, he let out a long "Oh":
"Oh—, so the dog owner isn't home. No wonder it's so cowardly."
Upon hearing Ma Hongjun mention Shi Nian's name, everyone from Canghui Academy immediately stopped in their tracks, their eyes filled with strange looks.
Even though Shi Nian wasn't in the group, they certainly knew, because they watched him leave, and he left right after Tang San, the control-type twin martial soul master among the Shrek Seven Devils.
Everyone at Canghui Academy knew the vice dean's character well and could roughly guess what he had gone to do.
Suddenly, the smiles on everyone's faces turned strange, and even the anger aroused by Shrek's provocation and ridicule vanished completely.
But they said nothing, and with strange smiles on their faces, they brushed past the Shrek Seven Devils and walked into the rest area.
But it was precisely this unusual behavior that sent a chill down Ma Hongjun's spine:
"What are these people laughing at? Are they out of their minds?"
After saying that, he realized he had been frightened by the other person, and immediately became angry and embarrassed. He clenched his fat hands into fists and began to grunt:
"Hmph—what's so great about that? You haven't even beaten Elephant Armor Academy, yet you dare to act tough in front of me?"
"When I run into you guys again, I'll show you what real strength is."
Yu Xiaogang also frowned.
He didn't stop Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun from provoking and mocking the Canghui Academy group because he wanted to see what kind of character the students of Canghui Academy had, and at the same time, he wanted to probe for some information through their words to see if they had any hidden trump cards.
After all, when people are angry, they often inadvertently reveal some secrets that are unknown to others.
But the result was somewhat unexpected for Yu Xiaogang.
Faced with the provocation and taunts of the Shrek Seven Devils, the other party remained calm and composed, showing no weakness. Although the other party also showed anger and even showed signs of wanting to fight, they ultimately restrained themselves.
Their transformation from anger to smiles at the end was especially incredible.
Yu Xiaogang felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't find any problems. In the end, he shook his head and decided to put this puzzlement aside.
Then, he looked at the Shrek Seven Devils:
"Alright, everyone, calm down."
"Canghui Academy is not an opponent you should be considering. You should focus your attention on the Spirit Hall's second team and the teams of the five elemental academies. Only these teams can pose a threat to you."
"You've already faced the Elephant Armor Academy team and narrowly defeated them. You already know their strength and trump cards, so you can leave them alone for now."
"But you haven't encountered the other five teams yet. Nobody knows their true strength or what their trump cards are. That's the most dangerous and the most worthy of vigilance."
"However, I can tell you definitively that those five teams all possess hidden strength and will definitely be the strongest opponents you will encounter in this Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament."
Next, Yu Xiaogang led the Shrek Seven Devils toward the contestants' viewing area, explaining to them the information they had gathered from watching the competition over the past ten days.
At the same time, I also gave them a detailed introduction to the background of the five elemental academies.
…………
The exclusive rest room for the second team of the Spirit Hall.
Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the competition venue, the stands, and even the competition area for the participants are all clearly visible.
Ye Qifeng sat on the sofa directly opposite the French windows, with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling sitting on either side of him, close to him.
These two girls seemed determined to stick with him. For the past ten days or so, they hadn't missed a single day and would arrive at the same time every day to be with him.
Today is no exception.
Fortunately, Qian Renxue and Huo Wu were not around, otherwise there would have been another bloody battle, open and covert struggles, and intrigue.
The second team's match has ended, and the seven girls—Ruiwen, Fengxian, Yelan, Jinyueer, Zhuzhuqing, Baichenxiang, and Xiaomingyue—have returned to the rest room.
The girls looked at Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling with somewhat strange expressions, but no one said anything.
After spending so many days together, everyone had become quite familiar with each other. They were also fully aware of Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's intentions and did not criticize them for it.
Because some of them also harbored the same thoughts, they just didn't show it as openly as Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yueguan was also there.
He was sitting alone in a quiet corner, holding a handkerchief in one hand and a needle and thread in the other, intently embroidering a golden chrysanthemum.
"I'm going out for a bit. You all stay here and don't wander off."
Just then, as if sensing something, Ye Qifeng suddenly stood up from the sofa, gave a few instructions to the girls present, and glanced at Ju Douluo sitting in the corner:
"Elder Ju, protect them."
Yue Guan stopped embroidering chrysanthemums and nodded slightly with a solemn expression:
"clear."
Afterwards, Ye Qifeng walked out of the lounge under the gazes of many girls, some confused and some concerned.
…………
"Salas, there's something I need you to do."
Before long, the Platinum Bishop Salas, who had been squinting on the VIP table as if he were asleep, suddenly opened his eyes. A gentle voice echoed in his mind, belonging to Saint Night Seven Wind.
"Hmm?" The sudden fluctuation of soul power in the air was noticed by the observant Ning Fengzhi. "This is... soul power transmission?"
Immediately afterwards, he saw Salas on the other side suddenly stand up, and Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but frown:
"What kind of trouble is Salas planning this time?"
The Sword Douluo sitting next to Ning Fengzhi also sensed the fluctuations of the soul power transmission. His eyes flashed slightly with sword light, and he instinctively glanced in the direction from which the fluctuations came.
This time, the person protecting Ning Fengzhi's safety was changed from Bone Douluo to Sword Douluo, and he was even given a rare seat in the VIP section.
"Uncle Sword, have you found anything?" Ning Fengzhi asked Sword Douluo.
The sharp sword light in Sword Douluo's eyes slowly subsided, and he shook his head:
"I can't sense any soul power from the other party. That telepathic message just now seemed to appear out of thin air; it's a bit strange."
Ning Fengzhi was immediately a little surprised:
"Even you can't pinpoint its source?"
Sword Douluo shook his head again:
"Soul power transmission is inherently secretive. If the person transmitting the sound intentionally conceals their aura, it is not so easy to trace its origin."
"However, I can sense that the other party's mental strength is extremely powerful, at least on par with mine."
"What? At the same level as you, Uncle Jian? Doesn't that mean he's also a Super Douluo?" Ning Fengzhi almost jumped up in surprise. "How come another Super Douluo has appeared? Could it be that Chrysanthemum Douluo, Yue Guan?"
Sword Douluo wasn't entirely sure either, and could only say, "I don't know."
Just as the two were still in a state of surprise at the transmission of soul power, Salas had already hurriedly left the VIP seats and walked quickly towards the outside of the arena.
Watching Salas's departing figure, Sword Douluo's sharp, sword-like eyes suddenly turned somewhat deep and unfathomable:
"Why is Salas leaving in such a hurry? Could something serious have happened?"
Ning Fengzhi also seemed lost in thought, when suddenly he remembered something unrelated:
"During this Elite Soul Master Competition, a strange incident occurred not long ago. Several students from participating academies mysteriously disappeared on their way back to their residences after the competition, causing widespread panic for a period of time."
"This matter alarmed the event organizers. After discussion, the organizing committee decided that the Spirit Hall, the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would jointly investigate the matter. Salas and I were both involved in this matter."
"However, because no traces were left at the scene and the clues ran out, the investigation was temporarily shelved, and the murderer is still at large."
"Why is Salas in such a hurry to leave? Could it be because there's been progress on this matter?"
"Uncle Jian, let's go, let's follow them and see."
…………
The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is located southeast of Heavenly Dou City, only twenty kilometers away. It can be reached quickly from either the east or south gate of Heavenly Dou City.
The East and South districts of Tiandou City are the two most prosperous districts in Tiandou City, apart from the central district where the Tiandou Imperial Palace is located.
Because the East City faces the Sunset Forest, most of the residents here are Soul Masters with titles. The South City is where the mansions of high-ranking officials and nobles are located, and almost all the residents are children of nobles. As a result, the streets of both cities are extremely prosperous and bustling.
Tang San chose to leave the city through the east gate.
Almost 99% of the pedestrians here are Soul Masters, and in this environment where Soul Masters are everywhere, fellow Soul Masters feel more at ease and comfortable.
After leaving the Heaven Dou Arena, Tang San strode straight towards the East Gate. The bustling streets and lively atmosphere on both sides of the road did not stop him. At this moment, he had only one thing on his mind—
Improve your own strength and become stronger as soon as possible.
