Douluo: Dragon King Huo Yuhao Lives Ten Thousand Years Later

Chapter 126 Seven vs. Seven?
"Boss, I'm sorry for causing you trouble, but I can't take it anymore."

Leaving the venue, Xie Xie whispered, "I just can't stand them. Why should we apologize first? Besides, Yu Longheng was obviously targeting us. Ye Xinglan was being used as a pawn without even realizing it."

Yu Longheng clearly wanted to get revenge, but he couldn't speak directly because of his age and status. He could only show his anger. Ye Xinglan gave him a chance.

As for whether the other party will agree to participate in the competition, Xie Xie is inclined to believe so, but he is not sure about the specific outcome.

"It's nothing." Huo Yuhao shook his head. "Go and tell Teacher Luo."

"Na'er, I didn't expect you to be so skilled."

On the girls' side, Xu Xiaoyan looked at Gu Yuena with admiration, "One sentence was enough to break her defenses."

"With Xie Xie around, he'll inevitably say a few words after hearing it so often," Gu Yuena said calmly. "Besides, I only said a few words because my mood was disturbed."

What's wrong with Yuhao's snacks?

She just loves to eat.

"However, they have Battle Armor Masters and three powerful Soul Masters..."

Xu Xiaoyan hesitated for a moment and said, "Won't we be a burden to you and Yuhao?"

It's different when five against five versus a group of them fight against Teacher Wu. Perhaps Teacher Wu, at the Soul King level, could fight all of Shrek Academy's members by herself, but it would be difficult for these people to win in a one-on-one fight.

Given the age gap and the fact that the Shrek Academy students are not weak, it would be difficult for them to help Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena.

"Didn't Teacher Luo say that we'll only step in when we encounter opponents you really can't handle? Just treat them as that kind of situation. As for whether Yuhao and I can win, you don't need to worry."

Gu Yuena and Huo Yuhao in front of her exchanged a glance, their tone relaxed.

……

The Shrek Academy students stood in a conference room, their gazes shifting.

Directly in front of them, Shen Yi, the teacher in charge, stared intently at them, his tone slightly somber, "I was only gone for a dozen minutes, and you've already caused this kind of trouble?"

She only communicated with the organizers for a short while, and when she came back, she heard that her students had a conflict with Class Zero. After hearing the whole story, she was speechless.

You guys really uphold the school motto well, making such a big fuss over such a small thing.

Shen Yi did not immediately look at the person who caused the conflict, but looked at Yu Longheng, causing the latter to turn pale.

"Long Heng, what are you trying to do? As the team leader, why don't you stop me?"

After a moment of silence, Yu Longheng said in a low voice, "Because they have insulted the honor of the academy."

Shen Yi frowned, his fingertips lightly tapping the table. The crisp sound was particularly jarring in the silent conference room, growing louder and louder, as if striking everyone's hearts.

Finally, she said calmly, "Long Heng, answer me. Are you doing this for the honor of the academy, or for your own?"

Yu Longheng clenched his fists involuntarily, opened his mouth, but found that he could not answer the question.

Seeing this, Shen Yi frowned and looked at Ye Xinglan, "Xinglan, what about you?"

"For the honor of the academy!" Ye Xinglan, despite being under Shen Yi's gaze, remained resolute, her face also somewhat pale.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi took a deep breath and looked away.

"The news that Shrek Academy is going to compete against East Sea Academy has already spread among the onlookers, and they've even mentioned the academy's honor. It's too late for you to regret it now."

It's too late to suppress the impact now.

If the Tianhai Alliance were willing to help, it might be possible to reverse public opinion. However, what troubled Shen Yi was that Yu Longheng had not heeded her warnings and had directly used the battle armor, causing the Tianhai Alliance to lose face.

The Tianhai Alliance desperately needs an opportunity to save face, and Shrek Academy's strong performance provides them with just such an excuse. If any academy were to step forward and challenge Shrek, even a defeat would sway public opinion, shifting the narrative from "the Tianhai Alliance is easily defeated" to "a glorious defeat, commendable courage." Moreover… the students of Donghai Academy are no pushovers; it might even be a very exciting match.

Thinking of Huo Yuhao's existence, Shen Yi sighed deeply.

"Since you've linked this matter to the academy's honor, you must uphold that honor with your strength. The main responsible parties are Yu Longheng and Ye Xinglan. If you lose, you'll never be allowed into the inner academy, and you might even be expelled!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Longheng and Ye Xinglan's expressions changed drastically.

The former aims for the inner court, while the latter prefers to stay in the academy; these two punishments are the most fatal to them.

However, the two quickly calmed down.

In terms of individual strength alone, no one in the Tianhai Alliance can match them. Moreover, this is a team battle. Having spent so long at Shrek Academy, which emphasizes teamwork, their coordination is unmatched by ordinary people.

The fact that the battle could be resolved in one minute was not solely due to Yu Longheng's efforts.

Thinking of this, Ye Xinglan pursed her lips and looked at her companions around her who were frowning.

In a moment of impulse, she subconsciously suggested a five-on-five match, but her opponents are her peers, and they might not be willing to play with her.

Seeing Yu Longheng and Ye Xinglan, who were some distance away from them, Ning Yue's heart softened, and she took the lead and stepped forward, saying, "I'll go with you."

Consider this revenge for the arrow I shot earlier.

Xu Lizhi hesitated. He felt bad that the whole thing was his fault, but now Xinglan was suffering the consequences.

But Wu Lin and the others didn't do anything wrong.

Just as the group hesitated, Shen Yi's soul-guided communicator on her waist rang. She took out the communicator, answered it, and exchanged a few words with the person on the other side. She subconsciously stood up, her brows furrowed.

A moment later, she hung up the soul communication device and said calmly to the students who came to look at her, "Don't worry about how to divide the teams anymore. The match against Donghai Academy will be held in one day... seven vs. seven!"

Just as she had expected, the Tianhai Alliance was determined not to let this opportunity slip by. Since it concerned the academy's reputation, she needed to report to Elder Cai.

……

"Alright, Wu Lin, you guys just focus on the five-person team competition and the secondary professional competition. Don't worry too much about the match against Shrek Academy."

At roughly the same time, Luo Yanglu hung up the soul-guided communicator and said to the people in front of him:

“You are far behind the Shrek Academy students right now. That’s not your stage, and it won’t allow you to showcase your talents.”

Xie Xie touched his nose. "I think dealing with a support character shouldn't be a problem."

He really didn't want to target Xu Lizhi; that chubby guy was alright. But now it seems they're going to clash.

If there's a chance, let's get rid of him first, to prevent him from suffering torment from Boss Huo and Gu Yuena.

"If you have the chance to make a move, feel free to give it a try."

Luo Yanglu smiled, looked at Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena, and his tone turned serious.

"In a sense, it's two against seven. Are you confident?"

He had watched these little ones grow up step by step, and naturally he hoped to help them achieve glory within his sight.

Xie Xie and his group only need to follow the steps to win the five-person group championship, but he has not been able to find a suitable stage for Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena.

Now that the Tianhai Alliance has given him the opportunity, he won't let it go.

Huo Yuhao and the other person nodded slightly.
