Chapter 50 Shrek's Disharmony
Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yuheng had already been severely scolded by Taotie Xuanzi, and had lost a lot of face. Wang Yan was just a teacher in the outer courtyard. He did not participate in the operation to eliminate the evil soul masters and was hiding on the periphery. At this time, he actually put on an attitude of a leader, which immediately made the two people who were proud in their hearts a little unhappy.
The two of them thought to themselves, it's okay for Master Xuan, but how dare you, a man who only reached the Soul King level at the age of thirty or forty, occupy the main seat?
There was a row of seats on each side of the long conference table, with a chair at each end. Theoretically, Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yuheng themselves also thought so. As the ones with the highest cultivation, they would each occupy one end, and the rest of the regulars and reserve candidates would sit on the left and right. This was the most appropriate way, after all, they were the only two Soul Emperors present.
Now Wang Yan seemed to be unaware of it and sat down in the main seat at the top. Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yuheng were not allocated seats equally, so Dai Yuheng had to sit behind Ma Xiaotao and sit in the first seat on the left. He felt disgusted with this unconscious teacher.
But in front of so many people, he didn't deliberately lose his temper, which made him seem uncultured.
The Duke's eldest son said calmly, "Teacher Wang, you said we'll only face a few Soul Masters in the first match. Ling Luochen can handle them without the two of us. Our regular team isn't complete to begin with. Instead of picking a few Soul Masters to fill in, why not just send the reserve team? That way, we can retain some secrecy while still looking respectable."
Ma Xiaotao was just as proud as Dai Yuheng, but she thought Dai Yuheng was taking advantage of the situation and was unhappy with her taking the main seat at the back. She said, "Even though the reserve team can handle it, we should show Shrek's strength in the first match. If we let Yuhao and the others get into a war of attrition, wouldn't that be embarrassing for us?"
Dai Yaoheng spread his hands and said, "You really underestimate our junior students from other colleges. They are not facing the geniuses of the college's promotion competition, but just a group of rabble."
"If they go up, they can still crush us with ease."
Ma Xiaotao frowned and said unhappily, "What if we run into a Soul King team? Who knows if we'll get picked."
Dai Yueheng said: "Then let Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu join, replace a few great soul masters and weak soul masters, and form two pairs of martial soul fusion skills."
Dai Yaoheng never forgets to support his younger brother.
He paused and said, "If it really doesn't work, why not let Ling Luochen join the reserve team?"
Ma Xiaotao felt a little angry. Dai Yuheng had never submitted to her!
This bastard would grumble over whatever she said!
But before she could say anything, Ling Luochen beside her said with some dissatisfaction: "Deputy Captain, what do you mean by putting me in the reserve team? Watch your words."
Dai Yuheng was even more dissatisfied with her. The harsh words "deputy captain" seemed like a branding iron on his proud self-esteem, especially since his father might come to watch the game.
"What did I say? Didn't your sister Xiao Tao say to be cautious?"
"Hey, hey, hey, why are you dragging me into this again? Dai Yuheng, don't misinterpret my words..."
"What Sister Xiaotao? When did I admit that Ma Xiaotao is my sister? Dai Yuheng, watch your words!"
"…"
It's a mess.
The combat meeting turned into a mess.
A bad start, team discord, excessive self-esteem, weak leadership, etc., these problems that already existed within the Shrek team broke out unexpectedly at this moment.
If everyone was injured and only their bodies were left, Ma and Dai had not been scolded by Xuanzi and their self-esteem was still there, so perhaps they would not have quarreled.
At this time, Ma and Dai, who had been scolded a lot, had no face left. The conflict between the captain and the deputy captain was completely intensified after the previous disagreement. In addition, Ling Luochen had never been convinced by Ma Xiaotao. Now that Taotie Xuanzi was gone, no one could control it anymore, and the whole conference room was in an uproar.
Wang Yan stretched out his hand to dissuade him, but he had no authority and was as transparent as a ghost.
Beibei was exhausted from trying so hard to stabilize his own team, and he had no ability to appease several seniors whose cultivation was far higher than his.
Dai Huabin, a student spectator sitting outside the long round table, scratched his head and wanted to help his elder brother and take the opportunity to join the reserve team.
Ning Tian and Wu Feng, two girls from the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, looked numb. There were signs of this situation on the way.
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao are almost the people with the lowest soul power, and they have no say at all.
Just as the noise was getting out of hand, the sound of someone standing up and knocking over a chair spread out, shuddering into silence throughout the meeting room.
Everyone turned their eyes to look at Huo Yuhao who suddenly stood up.
He remained silent, turned around and left the meeting room.
This action was like a sedative, calming everyone's emotions a little.
Ma Xiaotao accepted this junior fellow with the ultimate ice martial spirit as her younger brother and had received his help many times. Seeing this, her heart sank and she sat back silently, not arguing with Dai Yuheng and Ling Luochen anymore.
The same goes for Ling Luochen.
Dai Yuheng knew that his brother had a conflict with this student, but he had never been hostile to Huo Yuhao. He even repeatedly extended an olive branch, wanting to make friends with him. He believed that his brother's future achievements would definitely be great. Therefore, seeing this, he kept his mouth shut and no longer mentioned anything about wanting Dai Huabin to join the reserve team.
Xixi, the only one in the starting team who was not in chaos and had been trying her best to appease others, breathed a sigh of relief and cleaned up the mess on the table.
Since the main team kept silent, the reserve team and the spectators naturally couldn't make a fuss. The normal meeting actually returned to normal because of Huo Yuhao's stance.
Wang Yan's eyes gleamed as he glanced at the open conference room door. He quickly said, "I'll go back and reconsider the lineup. Everyone, go home and calm down. Maybe go explore Xingluo City. The competition still has two days to go, so it might be nice to relax and unwind."
This statement was accepted, and the starting team and the reserve team dispersed silently, some returning to their rooms, some traveling together, and some recuperating from injuries.
Wang Yan had a flash of inspiration and grasped the key point. He hurriedly stood up and walked towards Huo Yuhao's room. Whether he could reunite the team depended on this student that even Master Xuan cared about!
A group of spectators who were not participating in the competition, and some reserve team members came out of the suite with great interest, intending to go downstairs to stroll around the Xingluo Imperial City, which was rumored to be prosperous, luxurious and world-famous.
Just as the door was opened, a suite on the same side suddenly opened from the inside, and another pair of young students dressed very differently from them also walked out of the suite door.
The same vigor and vitality, the same high spirits, the same handsome men and beautiful women, but the only difference is that the team not far away that seems to be from the Sun and Moon Empire is having a great time, talking and laughing.
The two sides noticed each other at the same time when they were ten meters away, stopped in tacit understanding, and looked at each other across the red carpet.
On the Shrek team side, the leaders are Beibei, Xu Sanshi, and He Caitou. The three plan to go to the city to make some purchases to satisfy their different needs. Also with them are Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Ning Tian Wufeng and others.
Walking out of suite number three were members of the Royal Academy and Mingdu Academy, led by Ma Rulong, Ji Juechen, Ye Guyi, Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, Xu Tianzhen, Ji Yun and others.
At this crucial moment, the encounter seemed like a preview of the fierce confrontation between the two sides on the stage in the near future.
Everyone has different thoughts.
The moment He Caitou saw Xu Tianzhen, his face suddenly changed, he lowered his head and remained silent.
Beibei was somewhat shocked by the horrific quality of the opposing team.
Xu Sanshi's face was dark and ugly, and he was still thinking about the reason for the disastrous defeat, "It's all the Sun and Moon Empire's fault."
