Douluo: The Peerless King Dong'er's Restarted Life

Chapter 131 Wang Yan's Deception, the Highly Sought-After Wang Dong'er
This time, the Soul Battle Tournament was held in Xingluo City. The Xingluo Empire's royal family specially arranged the competition venue in Xingluo Square in front of the imperial city, which could accommodate the most spectators in the entire Xingluo City.

On one side of Xingluo Square stands the Xinghuang Grand Hotel, which belongs to the royal family. It was specially prepared by the Xingluo Emperor to receive contestants from advanced soul master academies of various empires. It has seven floors.

As the top academy on the mainland and the defending champion of previous competitions, Shrek Academy's team members were directly arranged to stay in the luxury suites on the top floor of the Star Emperor Hotel. Each person had a private bedroom and even a dedicated soundproof conference room for discussing tactics.

At this moment, Wang Yan had already sat in the conference room with Ma Xiaotao and the three inner court disciples, the reserve team, and the outer court students who could only watch the game and could not participate.

Among all the participating academies, Shrek Academy was the last to arrive, but because of its past titles and honors, others only felt that this was Shrek Academy's pride.

"Teacher Wang, the registration deadline for the team members is approaching, and the college is sending reinforcements..." Bei Bei asked with a hint of worry.

"There's no need to worry about that. The academy needs to mobilize the students who are away, and it will take some time. I've already received a message from the academy. Besides, our academy also has special privileges."

"privilege?"

"Our Shrek Academy is the number one academy on the continent. Almost every year, the final champion of the Soul Fighting Tournament is won by our academy. In addition, the inner court disciples are all Shrek inspectors, and most of them are on missions outside. It takes them a certain amount of time to get to the academy, let alone the competition."

"Therefore, no matter when the academy's staff arrive, they can still register for supplementary enrollment." Wang Yan calmly explained the so-called privileges before quickly changing the subject.

"The opponents you'll face in the preliminary rounds won't be too strong. I'm confident that your reserve team is strong enough to take them down. Now, let's take a look at the competition rules for the Soul Fighting Tournament."

"There are more than 100 academies participating in this year's Soul Fighting Tournament. The first round of the preliminary round adopts a seven-on-seven team battle elimination mechanism. The two teams that will face off will be determined by drawing lots. The losing team will be directly eliminated."

"After the first round, the organizers will divide the qualifying teams into groups, and each group will play a round-robin tournament. There are three formats: one-on-one singles, seven-on-seven team battles, and three-on-two mode. Each time, the format will be determined by drawing lots."

"Understanding what comes later is useless now. You should focus on preparing for the first round of matches. This time, because Xiao Tao and the others need time to recover, only your reserve team will be playing. In any case, stay calm, don't be nervous, and try your best to achieve a good result."

"In fact, as the elite of the academy, you are indeed different from others."

"Can other advanced soul master academies have the same student body as Shrek Academy? Can they have the same resources as Shrek Academy? It is certainly a good quality not to underestimate our opponents, but we should not be complacent."

“Your opponents are not the same as those you encountered during the freshman assessment.”

In the end, Wang Yan smiled slightly. The situation was just as he said. Unless they were unlucky enough to encounter the top academies, Shrek Academy had almost no chance of being eliminated in the first round.

"I won't discuss tactics here. As the champions of the previous Soul Fighting Tournament, Shrek Academy will be the first to perform tomorrow."

“You are all still young, but you are already Soul Masters and Soul Venerables. Apart from Huo Yuhao, your Soul Rings are also in the best ratio. Other academies may not even be able to gather seven Soul Venerables.”

"What you need to do now is to conserve your energy and prepare to show the spirit of Shrek Academy tomorrow!"

"Alright, everyone go and rest. Xiao Tao, you three stay here, I'll give you some more healing pills." After everyone left the meeting room, Wang Yan's relaxed expression instantly crumbled.

“Teacher Wang, what’s the point of deceiving them like this now? By tomorrow, they will know the true situation of the other academies. Moreover, facing Shrek Academy, the other academies will not be lax and will definitely fight with all their might to defeat us,” Dai Yueheng sighed.

"I know," Wang Yan said in a deep voice, "but right now we can only boost their morale, otherwise how can we win this competition?"

"Now we can only hope that we won't encounter any powerful academies tomorrow, so we can build their confidence first."

"Also, how long will it take for the three of you to recover?"

“If we take full care of him, it will take at least fifteen days,” Ma Xiaotao said. “However, if I share a bedroom with Wang Dong’er, it might be faster.”

Upon hearing this, both Dai Yueheng and Ling Luochen looked at Ma Xiaotao, as if trying to discern something from her face.

Wang Yan was also very puzzled. Had Ma Xiaotao been stunned by Wang Dong'er's slap? Not only did she not get angry after being slapped, but she even went so far as to fawn over her?
“It will probably take me about fifteen days, maybe a day or two longer,” Dai Yueheng said.

"My injuries aren't serious; I should recover in about ten days, hmm..."

After hesitating for a moment, Ling Luochen finally spoke up: "...Perhaps, I can recover even faster?"

"What?" Wang Yan was stunned. Ling Luochen's voice was too soft for him to hear clearly.

But Ma Xiaotao heard clearly and stared at Ling Luochen: "Ling Luochen, I have a special reason for looking for Wang Dong'er, but what is your reason? You two don't have any connection, do you?"

Ling Luochen and Ma Xiaotao didn't get along, so when Ma Xiaotao retorted, he retorted, "I also have my own special reasons. What, you're not convinced?"

"Alright, what kind of behavior is this, making such a racket?" Wang Yan frowned and interrupted the two, completely baffled as to why Wang Dong'er would make Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen fight over who would sleep in her bedroom.

"You want to go into her bedroom, but have you considered whether she's willing?" Wang Yan said. "You should go to her privately after the elimination rounds tomorrow. If she's unwilling, she can go back to her own bedroom to rest."

"Alright, you can go now. By the way, keep it a secret that we're not sending reinforcements. Don't let them know. Once they've built up their confidence in victory, they won't be so nervous anymore. I believe that with their abilities, they can uphold the glory of Shrek Academy."

"Yes, we definitely will," Ma Xiaotao said, her eyes filled with longing for victory.

If the reserve team can't hold on, she'll risk a relapse of her injury to win back Shrek's honor.
