Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

Chapter 199 Appearances are in harmony but minds are separate
With Ma Hongjun executed on the spot, this farce should finally come to an end.

That afternoon, the competition organizing committee announced that Shrek Academy's place in the competition would be reinstated.

Ma Hongjun is different from Shi Nian.

The main purpose of "hunting" other teams' players that year was to ensure the Canghui Academy team's victory in the upcoming matches. Since the entire team consisted of beneficiaries, kicking them out of the competition was perfectly reasonable.

Ma Hongjun, however, is different.

Firstly, Shrek Academy was already capable of defeating Flame and Azure Sun Academy.

Shrek Academy is undoubtedly the victim in this incident!

Secondly, Ma Hongjun's deliberate revenge against his opponent was not known to Shrek Academy beforehand, nor did anyone cooperate with him.

One bad apple spoils the whole bunch, which is clearly unfair to Shrek Academy, so the organizing committee decided to reinstate their seats.

As for the matches that were missed before, they will not be replayed; the existing results will be used instead.

The Shrek Academy and the Flame Glow Academy were not evenly matched, so Shrek Academy was declared the winner.

Shrek Academy has missed three matches so far, and with the loss to Qibao Team, they have only lost four matches, so they still have a chance to advance.

Without Ma Hongjun, the Shrek team only has seven members. If any member is unable to participate due to unforeseen circumstances, they will have no room for error. Therefore, the organizing committee has granted them the privilege of recruiting a replacement.

The announcement was signed by the Spirit Hall first, followed by the Heaven Dou Empire.

From the outside perspective, this announcement was orchestrated by the Spirit Hall.

As for the Flamebringer Academy, they simply accepted the organizing committee's decision.

After all, they don't have the support of the Spirit Hall elders, and offending the organizing committee would not benefit them.

For teams hoping to advance, this announcement was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.

Among the strong teams, only the Tianshui team has never played against Shrek Academy.

Even if Shrek Academy loses five matches, it's not impossible for them to advance.

……

Inside Shrek Academy.

Upon Tang San's return, Yu Tianheng and the others held a welcoming banquet for him.

"Little San, welcome back." Dai Mubai stepped forward and gave her a bear hug.

As for Ma Hongjun's death, no one spoke of it, tacitly agreeing to the situation.

In the past few days, under the "influence" of the organizing committee and Yu Xiaogang, they all believe that Ma Hongjun committed intentional homicide.

It should be noted that the evidence provided by the organizing committee is quite consistent with Ma Hongjun's usual style.

For their own selfish reasons, they almost caused them to lose their eligibility to participate in the competition, and they were even nearly arrested by the soldiers. It would be a miracle if they gave Ma Hongjun a good look.

Tang San gestured for everyone to get into the right mindset. "We absolutely cannot miss tomorrow's match, and we absolutely cannot make any major mistakes."

"As for substitutes, let's think about whether there are any suitable candidates."

If there were suitable substitutes within Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang would have selected them long ago, instead of just pulling in one, Tailong.

He knew he couldn't find it within the academy; he could only pin his hopes on the outside world.

In particular, if Yu Tianheng could add a disciple from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, it would undoubtedly be a huge boost to the team.

Unfortunately, the disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family are all very arrogant, and if they cannot integrate into the team, it will be all for naught.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing shook their heads with wry smiles. Their families were in the Star Luo Empire, and given their status, it was impossible for them to ask their family disciples to come and fill in the gaps.

Not to mention, Star Luo City is extremely far from Heaven Dou City. Even if someone agreed, there wouldn't be enough time. Oscar, needless to say, is just a commoner Soul Master who has always lived at Shrek Academy and has almost no friends outside the academy.

After a long pause, Tyrone scratched his head and offered, "Third Young Master, I wonder if my cousin would be suitable?"

“His soul power level is the same as mine, but he is two years older than me.”

Tyrone is only a teenager, and his cousin, who is two years older, is still within the age range for competing.

Tang San nodded: "Bring them here tomorrow so the teacher can examine them."

When Shrek Academy faced a crisis, the Power Clan did not intervene, but Tang San did not blame them.

As Tang Hao said, he cannot appear too close to Titan in public, lest his identity be exposed.

The fact that the Power Clan did not intervene was, in a way, a form of protection for him.

……

After returning to the academy, Flander was like a walking corpse.

Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong didn't speak to him, and went straight to the rest room where the Shrek Seven Devils were.

Although Zhao Wuji and others did not participate in team management, how could they not know about such a big thing?
After Yu Xiaogang left, Zhao Wuji and several other old brothers walked towards him.

"Dean, what exactly happened? Why didn't Yu Xiaogang save Hongjun?"

Flanders nodded, completely bewildered.

Zhao Wuji sighed and helped him back to the dean's office, preparing to ask him what had happened.

With the encouragement of his old comrades, Flander gradually calmed down and, with a broken expression, recounted what had happened.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji slammed his fist on the door frame, furious: "This is outrageous! This is truly outrageous!"

"Who is Yu Xiaogang? What gives him the right to decide to use Hong Jun's life to exchange for Tang San's innocence?"

They watched Ma Hongjun grow up, and now that he has met with misfortune, how could they just stand by and do nothing?

Moreover, Qin Ming died at the hands of Prince Xue Xing. Does the Tian Dou royal family really think they are easy to bully?
"Old Zhao, calm down." Shao Xin grabbed Zhao Wuji's arm to prevent him from doing anything rash.

Although they may not want to admit it, it's clear to everyone that the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire just want to resolve this matter as soon as possible.

Sacrificing Ma Hongjun to ensure Shrek Academy remains unaffected is already the best possible outcome.

These people have already offended the Heavenly Dou Royal Family. If they cause any more trouble, it will be difficult to exonerate them simply by finding a scapegoat.

Zhao Wuji was breathing heavily, his anger undisguised. "I told you long ago that Yu Xiaogang is no good. A level 29 Great Soul Master, yet he acts more arrogant than all of us Soul Saints. Who does he think he is!"

"If the Shrek team is led by him, they'll be finished sooner or later. Dean, even now, don't you understand that they never considered you a brother, just a lackey who's always at your beck and call?"

Now that things have come to this, how could Flander not see through Yu Xiaogang's character?
They kept saying they were good brothers, but in the end, Yu Xiaogang betrayed Ma Hongjun without the slightest hesitation, and even colluded with Tang San to give false testimony!

Flander said weakly, "Old Zhao, I'm tired, and I've resigned myself to my fate."

"After a while, I will resign from my position as dean and go back to retire."

For a moment, Zhao Wuji and the others felt heavy-hearted.

They sacrificed so much for Shrek Academy, only to end up with a complete mess.

In the process, Ma Hongjun and Qin Ming were sacrificed in vain.

If this fight continues, who knows how many more people will die.

Zhao Wuji was the first to speak up, "Big brother, I'll go with you. This damn academy, whoever wants it can have it!"
