SWNOVELXO Chapter 164: Xiao Wu is Hurdle
Xiao Wu was standing right next to Dai Mubai and the others, making it clear she wasn't injured.
Even Xiao Wu herself was somewhat puzzled and confused.
Yu Tianheng's kick had only sent her off the arena; for a spirit master, that was nothing. Naturally, she wasn't hurt.
"No, something's not right…"
Xiao Wu's face turned pale as she shouted loudly, "Brother San!"
"Don't look!"
It was Yu Feng who spoke. While he often appeared aloof to strangers, those who knew him understood he was just a bit of a goofball.
Now, Yu Feng stood by Dugu Yan with a mischievous grin.
Just as he had predicted, when he said that, Tang San instinctively looked toward the source of the voice.
"Tang San, you're doomed!"
"I tricked you!"
Yu Feng grinned wickedly, looking smug.
At the same time, Dugu Yan unleashed her fifth spirit ring ability once more: "Fifth Spirit Skill: Medusa's Gaze!"
Tang San: "…"
His hand, holding the Eight Spider Lances fragments, trembled slightly.
He truly felt bewildered, as if caught off guard! All these days of hunting the geese, only to have his eyes pecked by one!
Dugu Yan, after casting her fifth spirit ability twice, was almost out of spirit power and unceremoniously collapsed on the ground, even exiting her martial soul possession state.
"Yan Jie, you should rest up!"
"Brothers, let's go beat up Tang San!"
It was just a match, and they simply wanted to regain some honor. Yet, Tang San had fought them as if it were a life-or-death battle!
Did he really think they didn't have tempers?
They were well aware of what the Eight Spider Lances could do, having suffered once before.
They also had a good idea of Tang San's tactics.
He had been using his Clear Sky Hammer to break the Eight Spider Lances and collect spirit bone fragments. If they didn't see what was going on now, they'd have to be complete fools!
For safety's sake, ambushing Tang San was definitely necessary!
"Lingling!"
"Heal Tang San—we're going to beat him up!"
To prevent Tang San from getting killed, Yu Tianheng, before making a move, instructed Ye Lingling to heal Tang San.
With Nine Heart Flowering Apple's healing, even if Tang San wanted to die, he wouldn't be able to.
Spectators and participants alike twitched at the sight, all falling silent.
Tang San was the only one on the Shrek team who had seen through and dodged Medusa's Gaze head-on.
Yet, because of a single sentence, he had completely lost his composure…
It should be noted that Tang San was ruthless enough to destroy his own spirit bone!
"This…"
Yu Xiaogang and the others exchanged glances. Tang San had come this far, just a step away from resorting to his hidden weapons techniques.
But what was the result?
All it took was a "Xiao Wu, are you hurt?" to throw him into chaos?
"Xiao Wu might just become the obstacle preventing Xiao San from growing stronger…" thought Yu Xiaogang to himself.
In the VIP section, Zhongli twitched, his hand holding the teacup trembling slightly.
This was absurd—truly absurd! He never imagined Tang San would lose like this…
"Surrender! The Shrek team surrenders!"
Just as Tang San was about to get beaten up, Flender shouted urgently.
This round was already unwinnable; if it continued, Tang San would only get beaten up further.
As for why they lost, it could only be said that the Heaven Dou Royal Team two played dirty!
Especially Yu Feng, who had tricked Tang San by claiming Xiao Wu was injured.
The first time was still somewhat excusable; it was an unexpected move after all. After all, this was Dugu Yan's trump card, and its effect was understandable.
But the second time, Tang San was purely tricked!
"Shrek Academy forfeits!"
"First Round, First Match—Heaven Dou Royal Academy versus Shrek Academy. Heaven Dou Royal Academy wins!"
As the referee announced the result, Tang San finally snapped out of his daze.
His expression was colorful—turning from green to white.
Tang San stood there in a stupor, unsure of what to think.
At this moment, Dai Mubai and the others came onto the stage, and Xiao Wu immediately hugged Tang San.
"Yu Feng, you jerk! How could you trick my Brother Aan!"
"We could've won this!" Ma Hongjun exclaimed, his face full of rage, feeling like his anger was about to explode.
This Yu Feng was really too much!
Hearing this, Yu Feng scoffed, crossing his arms and replying, "Fatty, when you guys didn't play fair, why didn't you say anything?"
Because of Zhu Zhuqing's absence, they had been unable to complete the Netherworld White Tiger.
The first time the Shrek Seven faced Yu Tianheng and his team, they had indeed used some unsavory tactics.
This was exactly why, even without the Netherworld White Tiger, the Shrek Seven had won.
"Shrek Academy—you guys are just double standards!"
"Yu Feng!"
This wasn't Ma Hongjun yelling this time; it was Qin Ming, who had "switched sides."
To Qin Ming, no matter how well the Heaven Dou Royal Academy treated him, he didn't care!
Only that ragged, barebones Shrek Academy, which relied on tricks to attract students, was the best.
Seeing Qin Ming step forward, glaring at him angrily, Yu Feng only felt disappointed.
"Qin Ming, stop with this act!"
"You're a hypocrite too!"
"You asked us to go easy on the Shrek Seven because they're your juniors."
"But how did they treat us?"
"They fought with full force, even using lowly tactics. No wonder—you really do live up to your Shrek Academy roots!"
"If it weren't for that, we wouldn't have lost last time!"
Yu Feng, completely unafraid, pointed at Qin Ming and cursed him.
"You…"
Qin Ming felt as though his lungs were about to explode!
He never expected Yu Feng to speak with such defiance!
As if he had thought of something, Yu Feng pointed at Qin Ming again and said, "The three deans have been so good to you and to Shrek Academy!"
"Ask yourself—have they not been good to you?"
"They've valued you, valued Shrek Academy so much!"
"And yet you ungrateful ones came to disrupt their disciple ceremony!?"
"This kind of thankless act could only be pulled by you ungrateful Shrek lot!"
Having said his piece, Yu Feng felt he might as well throw caution to the wind and go all in.
Was Yu Feng dumb?
Under normal circumstances, he would never say such things, even if he understood everything perfectly. He would not offend Shrek Academy or Qin Ming.
Precisely because he wasn't dumb, he kept pushing!
He brought in the three deans and the disciple ceremony as well!
If it was just a small matter, it would only be about him, Yu Feng, disrespecting his former captain.
But if things escalated, it would be different!
Yu Feng was, after all, the "voice" of Heaven Dou Royal Academy!
Among the audience, those in the know nodded in agreement with Yu Feng's words.
Those unaware of the specifics looked on curiously, eager to "devour" this drama.
Who would have thought the opening ceremony would bring such a juicy "scandal"!
