Douluo: Twin Origins, Suppressing the World

Chapter 157: Being young is an excuse, but what about Ling Shuang?
Should we attack Ling Shuang?
What a joke!
Beibei's news instantly brought the Shrek team's emotions to their lowest point.

"I'm sorry, everyone," Beibei said softly.

In fact, the rules of the competition have some loopholes. If he's lucky, he could completely avoid running into the Star Luo Royal Academy.

So Beibei felt a little guilty.

He believes that if he hadn't been so unlucky, he might have had a chance to advance.

"Beibei, this has nothing to do with you," Xu Sanshi patted Beibei on the shoulder, comforting her.

"We can just let it go. We've done our best anyway, and we weren't old enough for the competition."

"This situation definitely won't happen again in the next major competition," Xu Sanshi said quite frankly.

In his view, it wouldn't matter if they didn't qualify this time.

They weren't even at the average age for the competition; they were just temporarily put in, so there's nothing shameful about it.

Next time they come as an official team in a major competition, things will definitely not be like this.

but……

“But Ling Shuang doesn’t seem to be any older than you, does she?” Dai Yueheng said casually, arms crossed.

Upon hearing this, Xu Sanshi, who had just been completely indifferent, immediately froze.

Dai Yueheng hadn't intended to embarrass Xu Sanshi, but Xu Sanshi's words just now were undoubtedly a slap in his face.

So it's not shameful for them to lose as reserve players, does that mean the main players should be the ones who should be ashamed?
Isn't this putting all the blame on them?

Since that's the case, Dai Yueheng doesn't need to give him any face.

Are you under the average age of the competition's team members?

Ling Shuang, on the other hand, is younger than you.

Why is it that someone else can lead the Star Luo Royal Academy to compete for first place, while you get scared when you encounter someone else?
Age may be a good excuse at other times, but in one special case, it seems a bit ridiculous.

Why should someone else be able to do it at such a young age? In the end, isn't it because you're not good enough?
"What if Ling Shuang participates in the competition again next time? Can you win the championship?" Dai Yueheng sneered.

He suddenly felt much better.

If Ling Shuang really wants to participate in the next competition, he will no longer be able to participate then.

At least he only needs to be defeated by Ling Shuang once, while Xu Sanshi and others may have to repeat the same mistake.

As for whether Xu Sanshi and his team could defeat Ling Shuang in the next competition, Dai Yueheng felt that the possibility was extremely slim, almost nonexistent.

Even if Ling Shuang doesn't improve at all from now on, he doesn't believe that Xu Sanshi and the others will be able to grow to the level where they can defeat Ling Shuang by the next competition.

Back when Ling Shuang was in the academy, she already possessed the combat strength of a high-level Soul Saint!
Besides, they won't stop improving.

Judging from Ling Shuang's current performance, Dai Yueheng does not believe that his progress will be slow.

Who knows, maybe they'll reach a combat power close to that of a Title Douluo in the next tournament.

Dai Yueheng dared not even imagine what would happen if someone with combat power close to a Title Douluo appeared in a Soul Master Competition where Soul Kings were already the backbone and Soul Emperors were the top level.

Xu Sanshi understood this principle, so although he was unhappy with Dai Yueheng's words, he did not refute them, after all, this was reality.

The thought that he might have to face Ling Shuang again in the next competition filled him with despair, and his previously relaxed mood turned oppressive and gloomy.

This is an insurmountable mountain weighing down on the heads of this generation of young soul masters!

Looking at the two who had begun to clash, Wang Yan sighed softly.

If it were before, he would have already stepped forward to stop it, but now he no longer had that thought.

The death of Xuanzi had already dealt him a great blow.

Now, in the most crucial match, they have drawn the Star Luo Royal Academy, whose team is led by Ling Shuang. Even though Wang Yan has a good mentality, he is almost completely broken down at this moment.

He had lost all interest in mediating the internal conflicts within the team. Like Xu Sanshi, Dai Yueheng, and others, Wang Yan also didn't believe that the current Shrek Academy team could defeat the Star Luo Royal team led by Ling Shuang.

Since the outcome has already been decided, whether or not there is internal strife within the team is no longer relevant.

Anyway, once this round is over, we can head straight home.

"Yueheng, you don't need to play in this match," Wang Yan said.

He had already prepared for failure.

Since that's the case, there's no need to put Dai Yueheng, who has just recovered a little, in the lead; we might as well just put everyone in the reserve team.

Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen no longer need to send anyone to call them over.

That way, even if you lose, you still have an excuse to make.

Although all the colleges now know what's going on with them and can easily guess what they mean, it doesn't matter anymore.

At least in terms of providing psychological comfort, it's top-notch.

“Mm.” Dai Yueheng nodded in response, without any dissatisfaction.

In this way, he managed to save some face.

After all, not playing and being defeated are two completely different concepts.

His father and the Emperor of Xingluo were both watching the competition, and Dai Yueheng didn't want to lose face in front of them.

Wang Yan's idea was exactly what he wanted, and he was overjoyed, so how could he possibly refuse?

Dai Huabin, on the other hand, looked quite unpleasant.

He also knew his father would be watching the game, which made him even more upset.

Time passed by minute by minute.

"The next match will be between Shrek Academy Team and Star Luo Royal Academy Team!"

As the voice from the broadcast soul tool rang out, the Shrek members in the lounge took a deep breath.

Their faces were grim, their spirits were low, and they had no will to fight.

It was hard for them to muster any fighting spirit to fight a battle they knew they would lose.

Like a bunch of dejected, drenched chickens, the group, led by Beibei, left the lounge and headed towards the competition field.

His steps were heavy, like a prisoner in shackles about to be executed.

And the other side

The atmosphere at Xingluo Royal Academy was completely different.

The members of the Star Luo Royal Academy team, led by Huang Heyun, all wore expressions of eager anticipation, their excitement palpable.

Even the usually composed Xu Jiujiu couldn't help but feel a little excited at this moment.

The prospect of personally defeating Shrek Academy, which had dominated the championship for many years and was known as the number one academy on the continent, was incredibly exciting for them!

Only Ling Shuang, who was at the very front, remained calm.

He felt no sense of accomplishment or excitement at defeating his former adversaries once again.

It's just a routine part of the transaction.

Xingluo Square was packed with people who came to watch the game.

The spectacle of Star Luo Royal Academy versus Shrek Academy, known as the number one academy on the continent, is enough to draw a large number of people.

Some who knew the inside story, such as the students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, were looking forward to the impending fall of Shrek Academy's so-called myth!
