Peerless Tang Sect: Snow Empress Adopts and Intercepts Jiang Nannan

Chapter 80 The Finals Are About to Begin

"Xuanxin, there's something I need to tell you."

Jing Hongchen walked and talked.

"Dean, please speak."

"A few days ago, that old bastard Yan Shaozhe came to me in the morning, saying he wanted to set up an exchange student program."

"Send a few students to the college across the street for a visit and study."

"Although I didn't fulfill my promise at the time, I figured the Empire wouldn't refuse."

"This exchange student program is not a one-off event, but a long-term program for the future."

"The plan is to send ten exchange students to Shrek each year for a period of two years, with the first batch starting in three months."

"They want you and Ye Bing'er to go there."

"But I refused."

Ye Xuanxin nodded.

There was no surprise or dissatisfaction in his eyes.

The exchange student program also exists in the original novel; Huo Yuhao was exchanged to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

However, due to the butterfly effect caused by his arrival, the timeline has been brought forward a bit.

"OK."

"Dean, I don't have any plans to study at Shrek Academy for the time being."

"I just enrolled in our college this year. If you send me on exchange, I might as well have chosen Shrek from the start."

"Haha, you little rascal."

"That's why I didn't agree to let you switch places with them."

Jing Hongchen laughed heartily.

"However, Yan Shaozhe and I didn't rule it out completely. If you want to go next year's exchange students, then you can go."

"Of course, it depends on your own wishes; we won't force you."

Ye Xuanxin shook her head.

"That's two years from now, right? That's still a long way off. Let's talk about it then."

Shrek Academy is, after all, a behemoth with ten thousand years of experience in cultivating traditional Soul Masters, and in the Douluo Continent, its reputation and strength are top-notch.

Whether for learning purposes or to seek support from higher-ups in humanity for the soul beast race's artificial soul ring project, he had to make the trip.

However, as he said, two years is still a long time, and we'll decide when to go later.

"Okay, I think Ye Bing'er probably thinks the same way you do, so I won't ask her."

"Yes, Sister Bing'er prefers to be with me."

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen revealed a mocking smile, looking rather disrespectful for his age.

"Xuanxin, I've heard that many people from powerful families like yours have a child bride who is a bit older and more powerful."

"I wonder who you and Ye Bing'er are?"

Ye Xuanxin shrank her neck abruptly, feeling a chilling gaze fall on the back of her head.

"Dean! You're so old, why are you still so gossipy?"

"She's not some child bride I've ever had!"

Ye Xuan wouldn't even dare to think about such a thing. If Ice Empress were his childhood sweetheart, he would rather come to Douluo Continent as a nightmare.

Child brides should be gentle and kind like Xue Di.

"Haha, okay, okay, just kidding, I'll stop now."

Jing Hongchen laughed heartily, and judging from his eyes, he clearly did not believe Ye Xuanxin's words.

Although we've only known each other for a short time, you can tell from the changes in how he addresses me and the jokes he makes.

Ye Xuanxin still found him quite pleasing to the eye.

Who wouldn't like such a smart, gentle, polite, and good-looking young man?

Sometimes, he even thought that since his little granddaughter liked Ye Xuanxin so much, why not make him his grandson-in-law?

Of course, he could only think about it; he couldn't bear to part with his own little granddaughter.

Not long after.

The Sun and Moon team and others have arrived at the entrance of the arena.

They happened to run into the Shrek team and others.

The moment the two sides met, a subtle tension filled the air.

Jing Hongchen looked smug.

"Hahaha!"

"Dean Yan, it seems that the championship title of this competition will finally be mine to sit on at Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."

"Hehe, Dean Hongchen, isn't it a bit premature to say that now?"

"The final round hasn't even started yet!"

"We at Shrek Academy haven't even used our full strength yet!"

"What do you mean by 'going all out'?"

"You've seen for yourself how outstanding our students are."

"There's no doubt about this final match!"

"I heard that the underground casino in Lingdou City has opened, and our compensation to Shrek Academy is one to three. I have to say, those who run casinos are really wise."

"snort!"

"Enough talk! Let's see what we've got!"

Yan Shaozhe's face turned ashen, and he led the Shrek Academy students away in a huff.

Jing Hongchen became increasingly smug.

He led the people inside.

"Dean! These bastards from the Sun Moon Empire are absolutely despicable!"

"We must teach them a lesson!"

Upon arriving at the rest area, a Shrek Academy student immediately spoke out angrily.

"Calm down! Even if you want to teach someone a lesson, you need to have the strength to do so!"

"They're arrogant precisely because they have the power to be arrogant!"

Shrek team captain Ma Mingzhao raised his hand to calm the team member down.

His gaze turned to Yan Shaozhe.

"Dean."

Yan Shaozhe's expression was still not good; he was quite angry at Jing Hongchen's words.

"Mingzhao, and all my fellow students."

"The glory of Shrek will depend on you to defend it."

"I, in my capacity as the Dean of the Spirit Academy of Shrek Academy and the instructor leading this team, hereby command you!"

"The arena is the battlefield!"

"Stepping onto the field is like stepping onto a battlefield!"

"You must defend the victory and glory that belong to Shrek Academy at all costs!"

"Shrek's eternal glory must not be ruined in our hands! Otherwise, we will be infamous for eternity!"

"I'll say it again! Defend victory and glory at all costs!"

"Did you all hear me clearly?"

"Listen carefully!!!"

All the Shrek members showed expressions of fearlessness in the face of death.

A hint of relief finally appeared in Yan Shaozhe's eyes.

"Excellent! This is how Shrek Academy students should be!"

"Don't worry! Shrek Academy will never overlook any of your contributions!"

"Ma Mingzhao!"

"The competition is in your hands now!"

"Yes, Dean!"

"Mingzhao, remember the plan I taught you."

Wang Yan chimed in at this moment.

Ma Mingzhao nodded.

Just then, the referee on the platform finished reading the rules.

The finals are a best-of-three series: one team battle, one one-on-one, and one 2-2-3 match.

The first match was a seven-on-seven team battle.

Ma Mingzhao led his team members onto the stage.

"Director, is it really okay for us to throw away these children's lives like this?"

Wang Yan watched their retreating figures, a flicker of pain crossing his eyes.

"Compared to Shrek's glory, a few lives are nothing."

"Furthermore, it doesn't necessarily have to be to the point of risking one's life."

Yan Shaozhe shook his head.

His gaze fell on something not far away.

Ye Xuanxin and Ye Bing'er got up cleanly and neatly and went onto the stage.

"What major competition doesn't involve deaths?"

"It's just a small price to pay."

He murmured softly.
