Douluo: Twin Origins, Suppressing the World

Chapter 156 We're going to fight Star Luo Royal Academy?!

Xiao Hongchen's face darkened as he listened to Old Ma's words, which were clearly directed at him.

Does he really look that unreliable?
"I understand," Xiao Hongchen replied, sounding somewhat annoyed.

Meng Hongchen, standing to the side, gently covered her mouth with her small hand, her red lips slightly parted.

She hadn't expected Ling Shuang to have such a background.

Even as the granddaughter of the Mingde Hall Master, she didn't receive such treatment—being protected by a top-tier expert capable of slaying a level 98 peak Douluo!
"He truly deserves to be called a male god!"

Meng Hongchen cupped her small face in her hands, her crimson eyes seemingly sparkling with stars.

She's talented, good-looking, and even has such an extraordinary background—she's practically perfect!
"Dream, that's our opponent!" Looking at his sister's infatuated expression, Xiao Hongchen's eyes twitched slightly.

"So what?" Meng Hongchen pouted, not caring at all.

"Friendship first, competition second, do you understand?"

"Heh." Xiao Hongchen just sneered.

He knew all too well his younger sister's competitive spirit.

Such words should never have come out of her mouth.

…………

Although Xuanzi's death shocked all the major powers and made Ling Shuang, Xue Di, and others the focus of their attention, it did not affect the progress of the competition.

The competition is proceeding smoothly and in an orderly manner.

As Ling Shuang had guessed, Shrek Academy did indeed file a complaint with the competition organizers, hoping to remove Ling Shuang from the competition.

However, most of the organizers of this competition were members of the Star Luo Royal Family. As Xu Jiujiu had said before, they naturally would not agree to such a request, and in the end, it did not cause any stir.

Later, the information about the Shrek Academy team's regular members was "accidentally" leaked at the suggestion of a certain princess.

Now almost all teams know that an accident happened at Shrek Academy, and the main team is unable to play, so only reserve players can play.

The news made Huo Yuhao and the others' previous act of pretending to be supernatural a joke.

This also changed the minds of many students who had been praying not to encounter the Shrek Academy team.

They've even started hoping to face Shrek Academy in future matches.

After all, even in this academy that has the reputation of being the number one academy on the continent, some teams with an average age of no more than fifteen and no one even reaching the Soul King level in terms of soul power are really easy targets.

However, because the Star Luo Royal Family did not interfere and Shrek Academy was quite lucky, they were matched with relatively weak opponents in the following matches.

They only lost a few matches in the non-elimination format, and still had a chance to advance.

In the Shrek Academy tournament lounge.

The members of the Shrek Academy team gathered here.

Except for Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen, almost everyone else was present.

The crowd was not in high spirits, and everyone's expression was somewhat downcast.

The passing of Elder Xuan inevitably affected them.

Coupled with the failure of their charade, the pressure on them had reached its peak.

Wang Yan stood at the very front, with the blackboard beside him displaying the Shrek Academy team's recent match results, as well as his own and other academies' accumulated points.

"This is our current points situation."

"With our current points, as long as we don't lose the next game, we can qualify, which is exactly what the academy assigned us."

Wang Yan pointed to the grid drawn in white chalk on the blackboard and said.

The college's requirements have arrived.

We don't expect them to win the championship; just hoping they can qualify for the next round would be a victory in itself.

When the academy's reserve team members participate in the competition, they can still create a buzz and, with proper guidance, completely overshadow the fact that Shrek's defending championship has been ended. Dai Huabin and the others nodded in agreement.

At first, they actually had some idea of ​​winning the championship, but after watching the games and clearly observing the strength of each college, they no longer had that idea.

Dai Yueheng should be able to fight in the future, but he still won't be able to unleash his full potential.

As for Ma Xiaotao...

She seemed to have lost interest in the competition, missing several meetings.

However, there are other Soul Emperor level experts in this competition.

Both the Imperial Academy and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy have confirmed that they each have a Soul Emperor-level expert.

Although Ling Shuang of the Star Luo Royal Academy team is not a Soul Emperor, his oppressive power far surpasses that of these two Soul Emperors.

Even if Shrek Academy manages to make it into the top four, they will most likely be eliminated if they encounter any of the other three academies.

After all, setting aside the prodigy Ling Shuang, the two Soul Emperors from Di'ao Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy are not like Dai Yueheng, who is injured and unable to perform at his full potential.

Those were two fully-fledged Soul Emperors!

Moreover, in addition to this, all the other participating students from these academies are Soul Kings, which is already higher than the strongest among the reserve team members.

This is a complete and utter crushing defeat, which cannot be offset or erased by shouting a few words of faith and passion!

Therefore, they no longer had the desire to win the championship; they only hoped to qualify and maintain Shrek Academy's glory as the number one academy on the continent!

The door to the lounge opened slowly, and Beibei walked in with a somber face.

"Beibei, how did it go? What were the results of the lottery?" Xu Sanshi asked impatiently.

The others also looked over.

They only needed to avoid defeat in this one match to complete the academy's mission, so they were naturally extremely nervous.

Beibei sighed, her expression grave: "It's not good."

"Our next opponent is..."

"Beibei, just tell me! Why are you keeping me in suspense?!"

Xu Sanshi, feeling a bit impatient from Bei Bei's hesitation, urged her on.

Beibei's lips moved slightly, and she said with difficulty:
"Star Luo Royal Academy".

"This is our next opponent..."

Upon hearing this, the expressions on Xu Sanshi and the others froze instantly.

"Star Luo Royal Academy?!"

"Beibei, you're not mistaken, are you?" Xu Sanshi shook Beibei's arm and pressed her for an answer.

Of all the groups, the one they least wanted to face was Star Luo Royal Academy!

With Ling Shuang leading the team, the Star Luo Royal Academy posed a far greater threat to them than any other academy!
Faced with Xu Sanshi's questioning, Bei Bei gave a wry smile: "That's right, it's Xingluo Royal Academy."

He was unwilling to believe the result when he drew it.

They were just one game away from qualifying, so why did they have to run into this opponent?
It's so painful to be able to reach something, yet never be able to.

But that's the truth; their opponent was the Star Luo Royal Academy, led by Ling Shuang.

Win! Successfully advanced.

If you lose, you are eliminated immediately.

However, the former seems unlikely...
