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

Chapter 157 Huo Yuhao: I'm just an outsider

Although Wang Yan won the match against Qianling Academy, he still couldn't feel happy.

After Thousand Spirits Academy, Shrek Academy will face a team with three Soul Kings.

This is the strongest opponent Shrek Academy will face in the round-robin tournament. They also achieved a top-eight finish in the previous Soul Battle Tournament.

Wang Dong'er might be comparable to a Soul King, but what about the others?
We can't really let Ma Xiaotao and the others fight while injured.

We might have to give up on this match, since Ling Luochen will recover after this game, and then the chances of winning against the remaining opponents in the round-robin are very high.

With that in mind, Wang Yan led the reserve team back to the rest area.

"Let's give up on the next match," Wang Yan sighed.

"No way!" Beibei immediately stood up to object. "Teacher Wang, we've already won three matches. Are we going to avoid fighting just because the opponent is strong?"

"Shrek Academy has never fled without a fight. Glory rests on our shoulders, and we must not set this precedent."

Although Wang Yan shared a strong empathy with Bei Bei, he also had to consider the academy's ultimate victory, so he advised, "Bei Bei, I understand your desire to bring glory to the academy, but in the next match, the opposing team has three Soul Kings. Even today's match won't be easy for you."

"If you forfeit the next match, your strength can be preserved. At that time, Ling Luochen will also recover, and the chances of winning the entire round-robin tournament will be very high."

Xu Sanshi stepped forward and said, "Teacher Wang, I support Bei Bei's decision. There are no cowards among the Shrek Academy members!"

He Caitou also stepped forward. Although his true identity was that of a citizen of the Sun Moon Empire, he was also moved by the spirit of Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi.

If it weren't for Wang Dong'er, perhaps this incredibly fervent atmosphere would have affected others as well. However, since Wang Dong'er entered Shrek Academy, she has been causing a ruckus and repeatedly "accidentally" revealing the true nature of Shrek Academy. These people have long since become immune to this fervent atmosphere.

Before Wang Dong'er, anyone who had ever attended Shrek Academy, even those who were expelled, would feel an intense fervor for Shrek, as if Shrek Academy possessed a mind control amplifier, and would wail in homage to the great Tang San as soon as they got close.

Beibei, Xu Sanshi, and He Caitou advocated continuing the fight. Wang Yan was also somewhat hesitant, but after thinking it over, he agreed to Beibei's suggestion.

If we don't agree to Beibei's request, she might develop a psychological trauma that will affect her cultivation from then on.

"Teacher Wang, don't worry," Bei Bei comforted. "You saw Cai Tou's performance today. Compared to the other Soul Masters, Cai Tou is undoubtedly stronger. In fact, San Shi and I also have hidden power."

“But five years later…” Wang Yan subconsciously wanted to ask a question, but after seeing Bei Bei’s determined look, he didn’t bring it up again.

“We still have our advantages,” Bei Bei said. “And with our junior brother’s mental detection assistance, even if we didn’t get the team battle format, we can still…”

"Senior Brother," Huo Yuhao interrupted Bei Bei, and said seriously, "I can't stop you from using Senior Cai Tou's cigars on the field, but I will never cheat on your own initiative."

"Besides, my mental detection can't penetrate the protective shield." This was a lie, but Huo Yuhao only did it to further dispel Bei Bei's idea that he wanted her to help him cheat.

Bei Bei felt frustrated. She still remembered when Wang Dong'er and Xu Sanshi were fighting each other, Huo Yuhao was willing to try to help them cheat, but he was rejected because they were unwilling to accept his cheating.

It was from this point on that Huo Yuhao gradually drifted away from him, while becoming increasingly close to Wang Dong'er.

Which step did we go wrong?
Could it be that Huo Yuhao has fallen for Wang Dong'er? Bei Bei glanced at Xu Sanshi, then at Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao had no idea what Bei Bei was thinking about him. If he did, he would definitely cry foul, claiming he was just an outsider! (Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy rest area)

Meng Hongchen looked at Wang Dong'er; now that they were closer, she could see her more clearly.

only……

"Why is he still wearing a hair clip? Has his hair grown longer than before?" Meng Hongchen muttered softly.

There was no match for their Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy today. They came here to watch Shrek Academy's match to determine the true strength of Shrek Academy's reserve team.

It seems that Shrek Academy's students may indeed be elites, but they are still a bit short of being able to compete with Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy using only their reserve team.

The only exception was the three regular players who appeared in the first round of elimination matches and then disappeared.

Now that they've finished watching Shrek Academy's match, there's no need for them to stay any longer.

The group left the rest area first, with Meng Hongchen lagging behind.

Wang Dong'er had noticed that Meng Hongchen was frequently looking at her, but she wasn't sure if Meng Hongchen was after her looks or if he had found her "diary" that day.

"Alright, let's go back and discuss tactics." Wang Yan took a deep breath. The next match would be against three Soul Kings. If he wanted to win, he would have to prepare well based on the characteristics they had already shown.

Wang Dong'er stopped in front of the Star Emperor Hotel.

"Teacher Wang, you should go back first. I need to go buy some things."

"Buy things?" Wang Yan glanced at Wang Dong'er, waved his hand and said, "Go and come back quickly. You need to be present when we discuss tactics."

Xiao Xiao gave Wang Dong'er a look, and Wang Dong'er returned the look. Xiao Xiao didn't hold back and followed her upstairs.

After winding through Xingluo City and turning into an alleyway, Wang Dong'er stopped and looked in one direction: "Come out."

The expansion of her spiritual sea greatly enhanced Wang Dong'er's spiritual power, enabling her to perform simple wide-area detection, though it lacked the precision of Huo Yuhao's spiritual detection.

In comparison, Huo Yuhao's mental detection is more like an electronic map, which can be zoomed in to show real-world streets, and comes with a bunch of data information.

Wang Dong'er's wide-area detection is just a large map, which cannot be zoomed in to a very detailed level. It can only tell you where there are mountains and rivers.

A girl with burgundy hair and big blue eyes appeared, holding a notebook in her hand.

"Hello, my name is Meng Hongchen, and I am a prospective member of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy." As they got closer, Meng Hongchen looked at Wang Dong'er's face, her own face slightly flushed.

"Hello, I'm Wang Dong'er, a reserve member of Shrek Academy. Is there anything I can help you with?" Wang Dong'er extended her hand and gently shook hands with Meng Hongchen.

So soft, and a little cool... That was Meng Hongchen's first impression.
