Chapter 184: Grudges. Barak has a Soul King?!
The Royal Hunting Grounds.
The Shrek Academy barracks.
"Who do you think our opponent will be tomorrow?"
Ma Hongjun rolled his eyes at Oscar. "What does it have to do with you, a big sausage uncle?"
"Of course it doesn't matter!"
"Bang!" Oscar slammed his chair and stood up abruptly. "Fatty, what do you mean by that?"
"No, you're just a Food-type Soul Master. You have no fighting power and can't even play."
"You..."
Seeing Oscar and Ma Hongjun about to fight again, the rest of the Shrek team had grown accustomed to it and were busy discussing their own affairs.
Just then, a flurry of footsteps echoed from outside.
"Hmm."
Xuan Mo, caught his attention, immediately glanced at the door. "It looks like the dean and the others are back from drawing lots." As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened, and Flanders and the others walked in. However, Flanders and Zhao Wuji's expressions were clearly not looking good.
Flanders glanced around, his gaze landing on Ma Hongjun and Oscar. Seeing this, the two men quickly sat back down, their expressions serious.
Grandmaster walked to the front of the teachers and announced, "Everyone, the draw for tomorrow's competition has been announced."
All the Shrek students rose and gathered around him.
Seeing this, Qin Ming glanced at Flanders, who remained silent, before taking over. "The first match will be against Barak Academy."
Tang San couldn't help but mutter, "Barak..."
Dai Mubai stepped forward and said, "If I remember correctly, Shrek Academy was originally located in Soto City, Barak."
"That's right," Flanders said grimly. "Back then, Shrek also sought a spot in the Barak Kingdom, but was shunned by the kingdom's nobles and ultimately didn't qualify for the Soul Master Competition."
Qin Ming then took over, his tone tinged with regret. "And because of that, I missed that Soul Master Competition. It's a lifelong regret of mine." At the end, Qin Ming clenched his fists in anger, his whole body shaking uncontrollably.
"Barak!" Zhao Wuji pounded his fists fiercely.
At this time, Dai Mubai stepped forward and said, "Teacher Qin, don't worry. The Shrek team will definitely defeat Barak Academy!"
Oscar suddenly poked his head out from behind the crowd and said, "But then again, how strong is Barak?"
Ma Hongjun looked disdainful and was obviously dissatisfied with Barak. "Tsk! How strong can a mere Barak Academy be?"
"Don't underestimate them. Barak is very strong."
When Oscar asked this question, Xuan Mo, who had been silent in the crowd, walked out.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Xuan Mo shrugged, "Why, you don't believe it?"
Most people in Shrek smiled slightly, obviously with some contempt and perfunctory, "Believe it, of course we believe what you say!"
"Okay, let me tell you, don't scare you. There are a total of fifteen teams in the entire promotion competition, including two teams each from the four affiliated kingdoms and one affiliated principality, and Barak Academy is an academy supported by the Barak royal family. Naturally, its strength is good. If I'm not mistaken..."
At the end, Xuan Mo's face became very serious, "Barak Academy may have a soul master with the cultivation level of Soul King."
"What?!"
This time, Xuan Mo directly shocked everyone in Shrek, and his previous calm expression was no longer there.
"Gulp..."
Ma Hongjun swallowed, his voice trembling. "Brother Mo, you're not kidding, are you? Soul King, this isn't funny."
Xuan Mo rolled his eyes at Ma Hongjun. "Kidding? Do you think I'm kidding?"
"Really?"
"Nonsense! I don't have that much free time!"
At this moment, the expressions of the Grandmaster and the others were already very serious.
"I didn't expect that besides the Spirit Hall, there would actually be a Soul Master with Soul King strength, and it's just from a Kingdom Academy."
Xuan Mo scratched his head awkwardly at the Grandmaster's words. "Well... if I remember correctly, this Soul King of Barak was probably lured here by me."
As Xuan Mo finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to him, clearly waiting for his explanation.
So, Xuan Mo told everyone about the bet he had made with Barlotlade and the details of it, including the subsequent promise of a Soul Bone.
"It seems that we Shrek have encountered a formidable enemy."
The master sighed softly, but then revealed a hint of a smile. "But this is also good. We can use this to test how you can face the Soul King and prepare for the future. And if you win... hehe!"
Although the master only said half of his words, everyone present was smart and understood what he meant.
At this time, Qin Ming hesitated slightly, "It's just that soul bone..."
"Teacher Qin, don't worry. I'll find a way to get his soul bone." Before Qin Ming could finish, Xuan Mo patted his chest and made the promise, signaling to everyone not to worry about the soul bone.
"Since that's the case, then you should prepare for tomorrow's match against Barak Academy." Since Xuan Mo had said so himself, the rest of the Shrek team naturally agreed.
"Okay..."
...
Meanwhile, in the Barak Academy barracks.
"Tomorrow's promotion match, we can only win, not lose!"
The Barak team captain glanced at his teammates, finally landing on Jin Sanqian and Weilda. "But as for tomorrow's arrangement, Jin Sanqian and Weilda are ranked third and second to last. Do you two have any objections?"
"You..."
Seeing the Barak team captain's sarcastic smile, Jin Sanqian almost rushed forward to punch him.
His arrangement was clearly intended to prevent them from playing. Fortunately, Weilda, standing nearby, remained calm and pulled him back.
For a moment, the two men were furious but could not speak.
Seeing Jin Sanqian's reactions, the captain scoffed, then looked at the blood-robed man in the corner with a look of fear. "As for Reid, I'll put him last. Is that okay with you?"
Reid said lazily, slumped in a chair in the corner, his eyelids barely raised .
"As long as you're happy with it."
"Okay."
Seeing Reid's agreement, the Barak team captain ignored him and looked at the others, a sneer playing on his face. "Also, tomorrow's opponent will be Shrek, that lost dog of the Barak Kingdom. So, you know what the royal family meant. Don't hold back."
"What?! Shrek!"
At the word "Shrek," not only did Jin Sanqian and Wilda's pupils shrink.
Even Reid, in the corner, opened his eyes and muttered, "Shrek... Junior, I didn't expect us to meet so soon. Let me see how much you've improved in these nearly six months..."
