Douluo: Twin Origins, Suppressing the World

Chapter 107 All Members Withdraw

"Everyone must be very curious about what exactly this selection competition was for."

Wang Yan ignored Ning Tian's unpleasant expression and continued speaking to himself.

In his opinion, it was normal for Ning Tian to be in a bad mood, but he thought it would get better after a while.

This child is smart; he knows when acting impulsively won't do him any good.

"I'm sure everyone has heard of the Shrek Seven Devils. This is because the title of Tang San and his ancestors appeared ten thousand years ago and has been passed down to this day."

"Every five years, the academy selects a new Shrek Seven Devils to represent the academy in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament."

"This selection competition is only for selecting reserve members, not just members for the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition, but also members for the next Shrek Seven Devils!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nannan, who had been mostly silent, was the first to raise a question.

"So, Xiaoshuang and Wufeng have been excluded from the academy, and the spots that originally belonged to them have been given to these two?"

As soon as Jiang Nannan said this, Wang Dong'er and the others realized what was happening and all looked at Wang Yan.

Wang Yan didn't speak, but his silence spoke volumes about their thoughts.

Seeing this, Jiang Nannan, Ling Shuang's girlfriend, did not hesitate at all. She smiled coldly and said, "Since that's the case, then I will also withdraw. The academy can give the spot to someone else who is more suitable."

Jiang Nannan, who was always gentle and kind, was now as cold as ice.

It's not wrong to find someone else to replace Ling Shuang since he's away for cultivation, but the academy's intention is clearly to take this opportunity to remove him directly.

This is a question of the academy's attitude towards Ling Shuang.

Jiang Nannan didn't care about the Shrek Seven Devils title at all.

Since the academy is going to do it this way, she has no interest in being one of the Shrek Seven Devils.

Without the title of Xiao Shuang, it would be meaningless to her.

"Please do as you please, Jiang. The college respects your right to choose."

Wang Yan had anticipated Jiang Nannan's reaction, or rather, a certain high-ranking official in the academy had anticipated it.

Because of her status as Ling Shuang's girlfriend, she would never be of any use to the academy later on. She simply did not take any action because she did not want to antagonize Ling Shuang.

Now that Jiang Nannan has taken the initiative to withdraw, it is more in line with their wishes, so naturally they have no reason to stop her.

"I'm quitting too."

Another voice followed immediately.

The speaker was Wang Qiu'er.

She crossed her arms over her chest, her face expressionless, as if she were just talking about something perfectly ordinary.

The Imperial Beast had no interest in such matters. Ling Shuang, the only person in the entire Shrek Academy who interested her, was not around, so how could she possibly become the next Shrek Seven Devils?

"Respect." Wang Yan's expression was slightly unpleasant, but not too bad.

After all, this was expected. In Shrek Academy's eyes, Ling Shuang and Wang Qiu'er were like siblings. Since Ling Shuang wasn't among them, it was understandable that Wang Qiu'er would leave as well.

“Me too.” The third person to withdraw was not Wang Dong’er, but Ning Tian.

Gaining the title of Shrek Seven Devils would indeed bring her considerable benefits.

However, Ning Tian wasn't that good-tempered; he wouldn't really swallow his anger for such a small amount of benefit.

Ning Tian, ​​who was groomed to be the next sect leader from a young age, has a deeper understanding of things than Jiang Nannan and others.

The academy forced Wu Feng out, taking the opportunity to discard Ling Shuang, who had a mysterious background, wasn't close to the academy, and had always treated them like any other student—making her unusable for the academy's purposes. If the Shrek Seven Devils' identities were based on strength, how do you explain this deliberate act of discarding Ling Shuang, the top genius?

If the arrangement was based on the academy's own ideas, even if it forced Wu Feng to give up his position, wouldn't that mean they didn't care about the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School at all?

If that's the case, then there's no need for her, the young sect leader of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, to bear this disgusting title of the next Shrek Seven Devils!

Ning Tian's words finally made Wang Yan's expression turn noticeably ugly.

He never expected that this student, whom he thought prioritized profit above all else, would actually withdraw voluntarily.

But it's not over yet...

"I'm quitting too." Xiao Xiao silently raised her little hand.

"Why?" Wang Yan finally couldn't help but ask for the reason.

Unlike Ling Shuang and Ning Tian, ​​who already had powerful backgrounds, Xiao Xiao's background was almost negligible. She was the one who could truly be of use to the academy in the future!
Moreover, although her current performance may not seem particularly outstanding, the fact that she possesses twin martial souls is enough to establish her status as a future powerhouse. Although neither of her martial souls has the same extreme ice quality as Huo Yuhao's, the fact that she has twin martial souls is enough to establish her status as a future powerhouse.

Xiao Xiao's withdrawal changed Wang Yan's mind, who had previously thought it was acceptable.

Faced with Wang Yan's question, Xiao Xiao's cute little face showed a serious expression: "Because I was only able to advance because of Ling Shuang."

"If Ling Shuang isn't here, then I don't think I should stay any longer."

Xiao Xiao certainly knew what the name Shrek Seven Devils meant.

With this title, she will undoubtedly receive preferential treatment from the academy, making her future cultivation path much easier.

However, Xiao Xiao still cares more about her true feelings.

She chose to give up this so-called good opportunity.

Wang Dong'er, standing to the side, lowered her head, her silver teeth gently biting her red lips, her blue and pink eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

Her first reaction was the same as Jiang Nannan's: without Ling Shuang around, she didn't want to be one of the Shrek Seven Devils.

But a voice in her mind kept telling her that she should become one of the Shrek Seven Devils.

Wang Dong'er didn't know the origin of the voice, but it kept interfering with her thoughts, preventing her from making a decision for a long time.

Wang Yan thought Wang Dong'er had no intention of withdrawing and was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Wang Dong'er grit her teeth.

"I'll quit too!"

Wang Dong'er finally made her own decision and suppressed the voice in her mind.

Although she didn't know what the voice was, she still managed to discern her truest thoughts despite the interference of that voice.

She doesn't care about the Shrek Seven Devils title; she will only stand by Ling Shuang's side!

Wang Dong'er's words undoubtedly shattered Wang Yan's last shred of hope.

Beibei, who was standing to the side, also looked unwell.

Although I know it's not targeted at them, it's really hard to accept that they join and others quit.

As for Huo Yuhao, he kept his head down, not uttering a word, and his expression was not clear.

Ignoring Wang Yan's reaction, Jiang Nannan and the others turned and left after making their decision.

Wang Yan was left standing there with a bitter expression.

What kind of situation is this? Not a single person selected is left.
What's the point of that selection competition then?
