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

Chapter 213 Living in a Garbage Dump

Feng Xiaotian understood that Wu Qi had tacitly agreed to his suggestion.

Although they didn't say it aloud, they were secretly competing with each other.

Of course, this is healthy competition; no one will resort to dirty tricks to win against each other.

……

Teams entered the venue one by one and quickly occupied the best rest areas.

Shrek Academy offended the royal family, so they were naturally placed last to enter.

When they entered the arena, there were no rest areas left to choose from, so they had no choice but to accept the last one that was left.

Tang San and the others didn't care about this matter.

They didn't care about the royal family's opinion of them. After all, this was during a competition, and even if the royal family was dissatisfied, they couldn't possibly take action against them.

As for what happens after the competition, the sky's the limit, and nobody cares about these things.

Without Yu Xiaogang, and with Flander and the others giving up on themselves, Shrek Academy only sent one teacher, Liu Erlong, and one staff member in charge of logistics this time.

The staffing was extremely rudimentary.

However, this did not prevent the Shrek Seven Devils from achieving better results in the competition.

"Third Brother, I have a feeling that this rest area isn't very good," Xiao Wu said nervously.

The rest area where Shrek Academy is located is a secluded corner. Theoretically, the teams ahead of us should have chosen this place in advance.

Unbeknownst to them, this spot was diagonally opposite the Qibao team's rest area and was also downwind.

Tang San didn't pay much attention. "Everyone, hurry up and put your luggage away. There's an opening ceremony later, and we can't miss it."

The opening ceremony of the qualifying rounds was not as grand as that of the preliminary rounds.

The three people on the stage were still Ning Fengzhi, Xue Ye, and Salas.

Without an audience, the opening remarks for the snowy night were very brief, simply telling everyone not to feel pressured and to just give their best.

The qualifiers are team competitions. Individuals who are not strong enough may be able to win by relying on the strength of their team and taking advantage of the situation.

The qualifying rounds are different; they're one-on-one matches, and whether someone is a hero or a coward will be immediately apparent.

Next, Ning Fengzhi and Salas both stated that they would provide any supplies needed by the contestants unconditionally.

Furthermore, due to the closed nature of the competition venue, few teams bring their own chefs. All meals will be provided by the organizers and supervised by specialists to prevent anyone from poisoning the food.

Of course, teams like the Qibao team, which have excellent logistics, use soul tools to bring ingredients into the arena.

Food cooked in a large pot doesn't taste good; only when the chef cooks individual meals can the team's fighting capacity be guaranteed.

……

The opening ceremony has ended.

Each team returned to their respective rest area.

Most teams chose to rest early to conserve their energy for tomorrow's matches.

But at Shrek Academy, there's no way to rest.

Near his rest area, a large amount of garbage had been piled up by someone.

Because the temperature inside the venue was high and it was located downwind, the smell of garbage was overwhelming, making it impossible for them to rest.

"Who dumped this garbage here!" Dai Mubai stepped forward and kicked the garbage pile several times.

With his Soul Master strength, he could easily stir up the garbage heap.

The trash, carried by the wind, landed right in front of their tents.

The trash rained down haphazardly, making Liu Erlong very unhappy. "Enough, Mubai, do you want to bring trash into our camp?" she said, unable to help but scold the person who littered.

Tang San's face was ashen as he said in a deep voice, "Someone must have done this on purpose. Teacher Erlong, please report this to the organizing committee and at least have them remove the trash."

Liu Erlong was extremely annoyed, but they still had a competition to play, and they couldn't waste all their time dealing with garbage.

Just as she was heading to the organizing committee, several staff members approached them carrying trash cans and dumped the trash near the campsite in front of them.

Seeing the trash scattered all over the ground, the staff member's face darkened, and he yelled at the Shrek students, "Hey! What are you doing here, playing with trash?"

"It's all messed up, who's going to clean it up?"

The Shrek team members, who were already seething with anger, finally snapped when they heard what the other side said: "Who told you to dump your trash here? Don't you know our rest area is nearby?!"

Tang San silently loaded the silent dart hidden in his sleeve.

Given how they were targeting Shrek Academy, these staff members were practically asking for death.

But this is a military camp after all. If a fight breaks out, none of them will escape. And without Yu Xiaogang, no one can protect them.

In the end, reason prevailed over impulse, and Tang San did not make a move.

But with the staff there, they had to get an answer!
One of the staff members couldn't help but yell, "The location of the landfill was chosen by the organizing committee. What, you don't want to participate in the competition anymore?"

Upon hearing this, the Shrek members became even more displeased.

The organizing committee deliberately dumped garbage near them, clearly intending to prevent them from competing properly and deliberately targeting them!

That's not entirely true.

Looking down from above, you can see that the entire rest area is laid out in a trapezoidal shape.

The rest areas for the Qibao and Shrek teams are conveniently located at the corners of two ladders.

Since the Qibao team chose the upwind corner first, it wouldn't be realistic for the organizing committee to put the garbage dump there.

After all, if the garbage is piled upwind, the entire camp will be shrouded in the smell of garbage.

The other teams aren't stupid either. Although the corner where the Shrek team was located was very quiet, it was very likely that it would be used as a dumping ground for trash.

Otherwise, how could the Shrek team have gotten such an advantage?

"Aunt Erlong, calm down. Let's go to the organizing committee to lodge a protest." Yu Tianheng remained relatively calm, trying to prevent Liu Erlong from acting impulsively.

These staff members are not Soul Masters, so they dare not lie.

They were just following orders, and there was no point in making things difficult for them!
But how can the decisions made by the organizing committee be easily changed?
In the end, the Shrek team still had to endure the smell and continue living there.

……

Qibao Team's rest area.

The opening ceremony was followed immediately by the draw for the competition.

The qualifying rounds consist of fifteen teams and are played in a round-robin format.

The competition lasts for fourteen days, and each team has a bye rest period of one day.

With the draw results released, the identity of Qibao Team's opponent for tomorrow has also been revealed.

"It's actually the Beast Academy!" Wu Qi and the others were both surprised and delighted.

Before the match, Meng Yiran deliberately caused trouble for them, and now she finally has a chance to get revenge.

Sun Buyu said, "The Beast Academy is the second team to advance from the Barak Kingdom region. Their strength is average. If they were placed in the Tiandou region, they would have no chance of advancing."

"But don't forget, they have the support of the Dragon-Snake Clan, which is a relatively influential academy within the Kingdom of Barak."

"I know you have opinions about the Beast Academy, but don't go too far in the competition. Give them some face."
