Martial Soul: Luo Sanpao, Starting by Conquering Liu Erlong!-Chapter 142: The Rising Fame of Shrek Academy

Hearing Tang San's words, the referee was momentarily speechless, unsure how to respond.

Tang San continued, "Everyone, according to the tournament rules, participants cannot be killed or severely injured during the match. So, I ask again, are they dead? No, right?

Since we chose to participate in the tournament, we naturally wouldn't violate the rules. Moreover, considering the vast difference in strength between our teams, we only sent Dai Mubai to fight them one against seven. We were already going easy on them.

But who would have thought that the second team of Heaven Dou Royal Academy would be so incompetent? Seven Soul Elders couldn't even handle one Soul Ancestor. Seeing how weak they were, I even had our team provide healing sausages to prevent their injuries from worsening.

We've done everything we could to be considerate. If even after all this, our qualification is revoked, then we have nothing more to say..."

Hearing Tang San's flawless argument, the entire arena fell silent. After all, Tang San's words were irrefutable. They had only sent their captain, and after the match, they even provided healing sausages. If the second team had been stronger, they wouldn't have been beaten so badly.

For a moment, due to Shrek Academy's dominant performance, many spectators' opinions of Shrek began to shift.

After all, while people enjoy kicking others when they're down, they also admire strength.

However, unlike the mixed reactions of the crowd, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy side was filled with gloom.

Especially Prince Xue Xing, who was in charge of managing the academy.

His face was filled with gloom and a hint of regret.

Shrek's actions were undoubtedly a slap in the face to him, retaliating for his earlier decision to expel them.

But there was no denying that he had misjudged them this time.

Emperor Xue Ye, seeing this, also showed a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

However, Dean Meng Shenji, standing behind Prince Xue Xing, had a look of satisfaction on his face.

His gaze toward Prince Xue Xing was filled with mockery.

"You drove them away, and now you see how powerful they are!!"

"If I recall correctly, didn't this Shrek team come to our Heaven Dou Royal Academy seeking admission?"

Hearing Emperor Xue Ye's question, Dean Meng Shenji immediately spoke up.

"Indeed, Your Majesty. Shrek Academy did come to our academy seeking cooperation. Unfortunately, Prince Xue Xing expelled them over a minor conflict. If we had accepted them back then, the glory Shrek is now receiving would have been ours!!"

Hearing this, Emperor Xue Ye shot a displeased glance at Prince Xue Xing.

Prince Xue Xing quickly defended himself, "Your Majesty, Shrek Academy is rumored to harbor evil soul masters! Our Heaven Dou Royal Academy has a prestigious reputation. How could we allow such evil entities to join us?!"

At this, Dean Meng Shenji immediately retorted, "Hmph, Prince Xue Xing, the rumors about evil soul masters are baseless. They're just the ignorant gossip of the masses. Moreover, Spirit Hall has already confirmed that Shrek Academy does not harbor evil soul masters. As a prince, how could you be as blind as those ignorant commoners?"

Hearing Dean Meng Shenji's words, Prince Xue Xing's face grew even darker, and Emperor Xue Ye's expression also turned grim.

However, given the current situation, Emperor Xue Ye could only let out a cold snort.

Hearing this, Prince Xue Xing's heart sank to the bottom.

Listening to the conversation between Emperor Xue Ye, Prince Xue Xing, and Dean Meng Shenji, Salas, the Platinum Bishop of Spirit Hall, let out a cold snort, secretly feeling regret.

After all, given his position, he could see some of the underlying details.

The matter of Shrek Academy harboring evil soul masters had been almost certain, but who would have thought that the Pope herself would step in to clear Shrek's name?

According to his informants in Spirit Hall City, after the Pope made this decision, even the normally reclusive Elder Hall had intervened.

Although it was unclear what had happened afterward, it was evident that the Pope had been in a foul mood during that period, indicating that the Pope Hall and the Elder Hall had not reached a consensus.

Given that the Pope was his direct superior, Salas couldn't delve too deeply into the matter.

Nor did he dare to speculate on what relationship Shrek Academy had with the Pope that would prompt her to personally intervene.

"..."

While the various factions in the stands maintained calm expressions, their hearts were undoubtedly stirred.

Meanwhile, on the arena, since Shrek Academy's argument was flawless and they hadn't technically broken any rules, the referee had no choice but to declare Shrek Academy the winner of the match.

In an instant, what should have been a star-studded first match turned into a high-profile stage for Shrek Academy. Their reputation was slightly restored by this one-minute victory.

However, this also led other teams, who had previously adhered to the principle of holding back, to decide that if they faced Shrek Academy in the future, they would go all out.

After all, Shrek Academy didn't seem like the type to show mercy.

Soon, after the first match ended, the blood-stained arena was quickly cleaned.

The second match was about to begin.

This match would be between Blue Tyrant Academy and Elephant Armor Academy, one of the four lower sects.

In Heaven Dou City, both Blue Tyrant Academy and Elephant Armor Academy were well-known.

Thus, the battle between these two academies was highly anticipated.

On Shrek Academy's side, they were also watching Blue Tyrant Academy with serious expressions.

Although they knew Xiao Yu was extremely powerful, they didn't know the exact extent of his strength. They only knew he was stronger than them, but they had no concrete idea.

This time, their opponent was Elephant Armor Academy, known for having the best defensive martial souls in the world. Even someone as strong as Xiao Yu might find it difficult to easily defeat them.

And once Xiao Yu revealed his strength, with Grandmaster's wisdom, they could immediately devise a counter strategy.

Soon, under the referee's announcement, the seven members of Elephant Armor Academy stepped onto the arena.

Seeing the seven burly men enter, the audience erupted into enthusiastic cheers.

However, on Blue Tyrant Academy's side, only one person stepped onto the stage.

And this person was none other than Dugu Yan, the granddaughter of Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo.

As for Xiao Yu, the captain of Blue Tyrant Academy, he was currently lounging among a group of beauties, being fed fruit by his maids and enjoying a massage from his teammates.
