Just as Tang San was scrubbing the toilet,
The madam suddenly found him.
She told him there was an opportunity for him to leave Zuihualou quickly.
Tang San's eyes flashed, and he asked the madam what opportunity it was.
Who would have thought that the latter's words would shock Tang San to the core.
According to Zuixianlou's unreasonable demands,
He still owed Zuihualou about forty gold soul coins.
And a day's work was only worth one gold soul coin.
In other words, just by scrubbing the toilet,
He would have to stay in Zuihualou for over forty days.
By then,
I'm afraid the opportunity would have been gone.
However, even so.
‐‐After the madam laid out the conditions, Tang San still chose to refuse.
‐‐Because the madam actually told Tang San...
‐‐One or two guests with sexual interests often came to the Drunken Flower Tower.
‐‐These guests had no interest in the beautiful women there.
‐‐Instead, they preferred pretty boys like Tang San.
‐‐If he was willing...
‐‐One session would be worth twenty Gold Soul Coins.
‐‐In just two sessions, he would be able to escape from the Drunken Flower Tower.
‐‐Hearing this opportunity...
‐‐Tang San's scalp tingled.
‐‐And without a second thought, he simply refused.
‐‐Although he said that due to some reasons, he was only half a man now...
‐‐but a half man was still a man.
He wouldn't sell out his dignity for a few gold soul coins.
Tang San believed that after discovering his absence,
Teacher would certainly do everything in his power to find him.
When that happened, he would surely make Zuihualou pay double!
Meanwhile, inside Shrek Academy,
Flanders glanced at the four people not far in front of him and said loudly,
"Do you have any questions about this grouping?"
"No problem, Dean!"
The voices came in unison, belonging to Oscar and Ma Hongjun.
"No problem!"
Dai Mubai blurted out the same thought, but his eyes held a deeper meaning.
"No problem."
When it was Yu Xiaogang's turn, he also responded readily.
I'm so glad to have such a good teammate assigned to Tang San.
He'd probably be even more grateful if he knew.
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but smile.
"Okay, since everyone's okay, let's arrange the pairs battles accordingly."
"You'll begin the second phase of training tomorrow, but I have a few restrictions you need to remember."
"First, you must not reveal your appearance or tell your opponent your name during the Soul Fight. Everything must be done under a code name."
Flender had considered this point quite comprehensively.
After all, Shrek's students were all too young.
Especially someone like Gu Xian, who had already reached the 30th level of Soul Master at the age of twelve.
Even one of them would be astounding in the Soul Master world.
Especially if they became famous in the Great Soul Fighting Arena, the Spirit Hall would probably be the first to come knocking.
He didn't want Shrek Academy to be associated with the Spirit Hall, as that would only invite trouble. The students nodded, and Flanders continued, "Your code names are simple. I've chosen to use the easiest numbers to remember. Everyone, please write them down when you hear them."
"Gu Xian, Shrek One!"
"Dai Mubai, Shrek Two!"
"Xiao Wu, Shrek Three!"
"Zhu Zhuqing, Shrek Four!"
"Ma Hongjun, Shrek Five!"
"Oscar, Shrek Six!"
"Ning Rongrong, Shrek Seven!"
"Tang San, Shrek Eight!"
The eight people were ranked from youngest to oldest, from one to eight.
Flanders' ranking criteria were also simple: they were ranked according to their strength.
Gu Xian was naturally number one, followed closely by Dai Mubai.
Oscar and Ning Rongrong, as support-type spirit masters, were naturally placed at the back.
As for Tang San, he had simply added him today.
In addition, his strength wasn't very good, so he could only be ranked last.
Everyone heard their code names and silently memorized them.
Only one person seemed deeply dissatisfied with it.
It was Tang San's master, Yu Xiaogang.
His disciple was unexpectedly ranked last.
If it were normal, he would have tolerated it.
What made him unbearable was that
Tang San was actually ranked behind Oscar and Ning Rongrong, two support-type spirit masters.
Doesn't this mean that Yu Xiaogang's disciple is even inferior to the two support masters?
Who the hell could tolerate that?
Clearly, Yu Xiaogang still couldn't grasp the true strength of his own disciple.
Currently, Tang San wasn't much different from a support. Oscar and Ning Rongrong can only be considered soft supports, providing buffs and boosts, without any control.
‐‐ Tang San, on the other hand, could barely be considered a soft support with some control.
‐‐ Their control wasn't long enough, their damage wasn't great, and they couldn't stand up to the front line.
‐‐ They possessed a multitude of flaws.
‐‐ Remove the essence and combine the dregs.
‐‐ But Yu Xiaogang suppressed his anger.
‐‐ In front of so many teachers and students, he still had to maintain some image.
‐‐ He could just assume that it was Flanders's impromptu arrangement that resulted in Tang San being ranked last.
‐‐ Just then, Flanders pulled out eight prepared masks from his spirit guide bracelet.
"You decide how to participate in the Soul Fight."
"Here are these for you, one for each of you. Wear them when you participate."
"Also, keep your mouth shut on stage. Try not to let your opponents know your age."
Dai Mubai took the masks and distributed them to the others.
He handed Tang San's mask to Yu Xiaogang for safekeeping.
The mask looked familiar to everyone; it was the Shrek Academy logo.
The image of the green Shrek monster.
Gu Xian picked up the mask and put it on his face to feel it.
The craftsmanship of the mask was average.
But once it fitted perfectly, it didn't seem to be a problem.
"Next, let me briefly explain your arrangements for the team battle."
"Because Tang San is new to Shrek Academy, he's not familiar with the academy's strength yet."
"Given Tang San's two losses in the Soto Arena, I've temporarily decided to assign him as a substitute."
"The remaining seven players will all start and participate in the team battle at the Soto Arena!"
Hearing Flender's words, the usually composed Gu Xian almost lost his composure.
Tang San went through so much trouble to join Shrek Academy, only to end up as a substitute?
If he hadn't managed his expression well, he would have burst out laughing.
What's the difference between this and not even coming?
As long as nothing unexpected happens to the other seven players.
Tang San will only be a substitute for one day in Shrek.
Which of the starters isn't better than him? If you want to rise to the top, you must first have the ability!
For a long time to come, Tang San will probably be sitting on the bench.
Except for Tang San, everyone else's expressions changed subtly.
There are so many teachers around now.
They naturally couldn't act too impolitely.
Later, in private, they would definitely burst into laughter.
