Early morning.
"System."
"Open the live stream."
Inside the room, Shen Fan finished washing up and opened the live stream before heading out.
"Husband, you're awake?"
"This is the breakfast I bought for you."
Outside, Dugu Yan, who was eating breakfast, saw Shen Fan come out, stood up, and took out the warm fried dough stick from her clothes to hand to Shen Fan.
"Where are they?"
Shen Fan took the fried dough stick and looked around, realizing that only Dugu Yan was there, so he couldn't help but ask.
"They've all gone to the training ground behind the mountain."
"Only the two of us troublemakers haven't gone yet."
Dugu Yan smiled, her eyes curving.
"So early?"
"Since that's the case, let's go too."
With that, Shen Fan quickly devoured the fried dough stick in his hand in a few bites and walked towards the training ground behind the mountain with Dugu Yan.
"What?"
"Ice dragon king."
"Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
As soon as Shen Fan and Dugu Yan arrived at the training ground behind the mountain, they heard Flender's somewhat hesitant voice.
"What's inappropriate about it?"
"Our team already has fifteen members. If they all stay in one team, wouldn't that delay their opportunity to showcase their brilliance in the Elite Competition?"
"Such a grand event only happens once every five years."
"Flender, do you want the children to have regrets?"
Liu Erlong said.
"But… Xiaogang…."
"Should we discuss it with Xiaogang?"
Flender was still a bit hesitant.
"As long as Tang San is still in his team, he won't have any objections."
"That's enough."
"This matter is settled."
Liu Erlong said casually. She didn't care whether Yu Xiaogang agreed or not.
"Alright."
"Then how do you want to divide the teams?"
Flender certainly knew that Liu Erlong was just talking nonsense, but if Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong made him choose sides, he would definitely choose to help Liu Erlong.
Besides, no matter how the teams were divided, they were still the Shrek Team, so he had even less reason to object.
"Simple."
"The newly divided team will have Shen Fan as the captain, Dugu Yan as the vice-captain, and the members will be Ye Lingling, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Jiang Zhu, five people in total."
"I will be the leading teacher."
Liu Erlong stated the plan that had already been discussed.
"What?"
"No."
"I object."
"Zhuqing and the other two have been training with us for quite some time, and their coordination can be said to have developed a good rapport."
"Now, suddenly letting them leave our team will definitely reduce our team's strength by more than half."
Upon hearing this, before Flender could say anything, Dai Mubai, who was not far away, was the first to jump out.
In fact, Dai Mubai only objected to Zhu Zhuqing leaving the team, but in order to defeat his elder brother Dai Weisi in the Elite Competition, he also knew that Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu could not be allowed to leave the team.
"Ice dragon king."
"Mubai also has a point."
"Moreover, Shen Fan's team already has Ye Lingling, a healing Spirit Master. If Jiang Zhu, another healing Spirit Master, also joins Shen Fan's team, then the healing Spirit Masters in Shen Fan's team will be redundant."
"How about this?"
"Let Yu Tianheng, Tai Long, Jing Ling, and Huang Yuan, those four, join Shen Fan's team."
"What do you think?"
In Flender's opinion, this method was the most reasonable.
Firstly, it wouldn't break up the original Shrek Team. Neither Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, nor Dai Mubai would object too strongly to Liu Erlong's idea of dividing the teams.
Secondly, Yu Tianheng and the other four hadn't had much coordinated training with the original Shrek Team. Now, joining Shen Fan's team wouldn't be a waste of the time everyone spent cultivating rapport among team members.
"Flender."
"Are you stupid?"
"Yu Tianheng had Dugu Yan snatched away by Shen Fan. You want Yu Tianheng to join Shen Fan's team? It would be good if they don't have internal strife among themselves; how can you expect them to compete well?"
"As for Tai Long."
"After the incident where his family came to cause trouble for Tang San last time, don't you know what kind of people they are?"
"Shen Fan taught Tang San a lesson when he came to register. As Tang San's follower, do you think Tai Long would have a good expression towards Shen Fan?"
Liu Erlong pulled Flender aside and whispered a barrage of criticism to him.
"According to what you're saying, then Xiao Wu and the others aren't suitable for Shen Fan's team either, right?"
"After all, Xiao Wu definitely cares about Tang San more than Tai Long."
"And Zhuqing."
"Although she has always been indifferent to Mubai because of his past unreliability, with her personality, if she didn't have Mubai in her heart, how could she help Mubai wash dishes?"
"Finally, there's Ning Rongrong."
"Leaving aside what she truly feels about Little Ao, just from the scene where she kissed Tang San, it's clear that her goodwill towards Tang San must be higher than towards Shen Fan, who only joined the academy not long ago."
Too many things had happened in the past few days, and Flender simply didn't have time to pay attention to Tang San and the others, so his understanding of their relationships naturally remained stuck a few days ago.
"That's not necessarily true."
With that, Liu Erlong told Flender everything she could about what had happened to Xiao Wu and the others in the past few days.
"This."
After listening to Liu Erlong's narration, Flender stared at Liu Erlong dumbfounded.
"Forget it, forget it."
"As long as you can make Xiao Wu and the others voluntarily join Shen Fan's team, I have no objections."
Flender, who had come back to his senses, felt that the idea of dividing the teams was quite good. Otherwise, if Ning Rongrong and Tang San continued to stay in the same team, if Tang San really did something to Ning Rongrong, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would not let Flender off the hook.
"That's certainly no problem."
Facing Flender, her elder brother who genuinely wished her well, Liu Erlong naturally hoped to persuade him rather than force him to submit with a strong attitude.
"Alright then."
Flender nodded, then returned to the training ground with Liu Erlong and announced the recent decision to everyone.
"Dean Flender."
At this, Dai Mubai felt anxious and was about to continue objecting, but was directly interrupted by Liu Erlong.
"That's how it is."
"Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Jiang Zhu, do you agree to join Shen Fan's team?"
Liu Erlong asked knowingly.
"Zhu Zhuqing."
"I'll say it again."
"Don't forget your own identity."
Seeing that Liu Erlong completely ignored him, Dai Mubai could only point his spearhead at Zhu Zhuqing.
"I do."
Hearing Dai Mubai's warning, Zhu Zhuqing, who had originally been feigning hesitation, immediately her face turned cold, and she was the first to step forward and agree to join Shen Fan's team.
"We also agree."
With Zhu Zhuqing as an example, the other three girls exchanged glances, chatted for a while, and then also pretended to nod and agree.
Of course, this conversation was mainly done for Shen Fan to see and hear, so that Shen Fan wouldn't become suspicious.
