Douluo: Yu Hao Pan Tang San

Chapter 258, Section 277: Yu Tianheng: It's my turn to appear.

After Shrek was defeated and eliminated, the round-robin tournament continued, but no one had yet recovered from that major tournament.

After a while, Salas said to Ning Fengzhi jokingly, "I remember that your daughter Ning Rongrong is in the Shrek team. Sect Master Ning, you wouldn't be referring to the Shrek team, would you?"

Ning Fengzhi just smiled awkwardly and said, "Bishop Salas, I meant that I am more optimistic about one of these teams. Which one it is, that's a mystery."

Ning Fengzhi was very glad that he hadn't directly said it was the Shrek team, otherwise he would have been embarrassed on the spot.

However, the growth rate of the Spark team is too fast. It's not a good thing that these mud-blooded people are rising so quickly. Since we can't use force, should we try a softer approach?

"How about we find a way to recruit them and then encourage them to fight against the Spirit Hall?" Ning Fengzhi pondered, stroking his chin.

The round-robin tournament went by round after round, during which many strong teams emerged, but none of them were as exciting as the previous Shrek team's battle against the Spark team.

Throughout the competition, Yu Xiaogang endured the humiliation of Shrek Team's defeat, yet he still persisted in collecting and analyzing intelligence and information about each team from the audience.

Salas continued with the second round of draws after the match ended.

As they passed by Sect Leader Huo, he gave Salas a hint: arrange a slightly stronger team for Shrek Academy tomorrow.

Salas: OK!

So, the second round of selection began.

"Round 2, Match 6: Shrek Academy vs. Dragon Elephant Academy!"

After receiving the news, the man with the buzz cut left the audience with a heavy heart.

Yu Xiaogang looked at the Shrek Academy team and said, "Our opponent for the second round of the round-robin tournament has been determined. Our opponent is Dragon Elephant Academy."

"Dragon Elephant Academy?" Tang San said.

Flander explained, "More than ten years ago, the Spirit Hall combined the Elephant Armor Sect with the Holy Dragon Family within the Spirit Hall to establish a new sect called the Dragon Elephant Sect. It is one of the three upper sects recognized by the Spirit Hall today, and the Dragon Elephant Academy is a subordinate academy of the Dragon Elephant Sect."

"And what about their strength?" Dai Mubai asked.

With his hands behind his back, Yu Xiaogang said calmly, "The team consists of one support, three Diamond Mammoth defensive Soul Masters, and three White Armor Sacred Dragon offensive Soul Masters. All of them are at the Soul Master level, making them a formidable team with both offensive and defensive capabilities. They are among the top teams in this Soul Master Competition."

Flander said, "Little monsters, we know you lost the first match. This defeat was due to your underestimation of our opponents. We won't be facing the Starfire Team for a while, so let's win each match we have now and wash away this shame in the final. Let the world know that you are monsters, not weak monsters, but Shrek monsters who can stand tall among the heroes, look down on the world, and have eccentric tempers!"

"In short, in tomorrow's match, I want you all to go all out and win spectacularly. Victory is the only option; defeat is not an option, understand?" Flander said fiercely. (Due to Shrek's humiliating defeat in their first match, businesses that advertised on their school uniforms withdrew their investments, demanding compensation. Flander didn't earn much; in fact, he lost a lot, which greatly displeased him.)
"Understood, Dean Flander," the Shrek monsters shouted in unison.

Flander nodded in satisfaction. Then, Yu Xiaogang began to speak eloquently about his analysis to the Shrek team. Finally, he looked at Tang San with expectant eyes and said, "I hope you can make a name for your Shrek team (and of course, the most important person in the team is me, Yu Xiaogang) in tomorrow's match."

Yu Xiaogang's intention was quite clear: he hoped that Tang San could continue to play tomorrow and, ideally, play a crucial role in achieving the final victory.

However, Tang San pretended not to notice Yu Xiaogang's gaze when faced with his master's expectations.

Yu Xiaogang simply said, "The rest of the time is up to you."

Now it's Shrek Team's turn.

Yu Tianheng stepped forward, looking down at Tang San like an arrogant lion looking down at a defeated lion, and said, "We lost the first match, but it was you who lost, not us, you little bastard. You piece of trash, because of your incompetence, you dragged down the Shrek team and made us bear the shame of defeat. Alas~ it seems that Xiao Wu and I have no choice but to take action. People still think that we Shrek are easy targets."

“According to the bet, the lineup and tactics for tomorrow’s match will be decided by me, Yu Tianheng.” After saying this, Yu Tianheng looked around like a lion and said, “Tomorrow, the lineup will be me, Xiao Wu, Er Ming, Ning Rongrong, Jiang Zhu, Huang Yuan, and Jing Ling.”

"Yu Tianheng, what do you mean?" Dai Mubai was immediately displeased when he heard that Oscar, Tang San, and Ma Hongjun were not on the list of players to compete.

"You brought us the humiliation of defeat, so stay on the sidelines and watch how we bring you victory and glory!" Yu Tianheng said arrogantly.

After saying that, Yu Tianheng, Erming, and the others returned to their rooms.

Xiao Wu then turned around, looking at Tang San with innocent eyes, and said, "Really, Tang San, if you had arranged for me, Er Ming, Yu Tianheng and I to play yesterday, we wouldn't have suffered such a crushing defeat today. But you don't need to take this defeat to heart. Just rest well. Tomorrow, I, Xiao Wu, will definitely use my Martial Soul Fusion Skill to bring the Shrek team the glory of victory and wash away the shame."

After saying that, Xiao Wu subtly signaled to Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Dai Mubai with her eyes: "There will be a reward tonight!" Then she turned and left.

Xiao Wu, don't you know how much damage your Martial Soul Fusion Skill can do to me? Tang San spat out a mouthful of blood. He could still withstand Yu Tianheng's taunts, but Xiao Wu's words directly broke his defenses.

"Ah San, as far as I know, the Dragon Elephant Team is no pushover. Tomorrow we'll just have to wait and see Yu Tianheng embarrass himself. It's getting late, why don't you get some rest? I'm going back to cultivate now," Dai Mubai comforted Tang San.

Ma Hongjun, barely suppressing his rising lust, said impatiently, "Brother Dai, cultivation is something you have to do! I want to cultivate too, I want to cultivate a little longer!"

Oscar said, "Okay, okay, okay~ Let's go cultivate together."

The three of them left. Tang San watched their backs and thought to himself: Have I been lax these past few years? Even Ma Hongjun, who was lazy and neglected cultivation in his previous life, has become diligent now. It seems that I must put in one, no, two hundred times the effort to cultivate, otherwise Xiao Wu will look down on me more and more.

So Tang San returned to his room to cultivate.

　Some readers say Tang San's intelligence has decreased, but have you forgotten that Tang San's soul was pulled out and modified by the protagonist at birth? Just like how Tang San constantly influences Huo Yuhao through his spirit fusion skill.
