Douluo Dragon King: Martial Soul Spring and Autumn Cicada, Lord of Time

Chapter 204 The group that refused to participate beat up the current Shrek Seven Devils

Although he did not want to participate in the election of the Shrek Seven Devils.

At the same time, it is highly likely that because they joined the Spirit Pagoda instead of the Tang Sect, they would not be eligible to participate in the election of the Shrek Seven Devils.

After all, the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy have always been in cahoots, working together like accomplices.

On the other hand, the relationship between the Spirit Pagoda and Shrek Academy is not so harmonious. In fact, the elder of the Sea God Pavilion, Long Yeyue, once stormed the Spirit Pagoda and slapped the then-pagoda master, almost provoking a war between Shrek Academy and the Spirit Pagoda.

The reason he stayed was naturally to see Shrek Academy make a fool of itself, or even to embarrass Shrek Academy, and at the same time to prevent his potential women, such as Wu Siduo, Ye Xinglan, Yuanen Yehui, and Xu Xiaoyan, from joining the Shrek Seven Devils.

As for Dai Yun'er?

There's no need for that, because she's from the Star Luo Empire and it's impossible for her to join the Shrek Seven Devils.

And so, after a month of waiting, Shrek Academy's notification, though late, finally arrived: the Shrek Seven Devils selection competition had begun!

The entire selection process is open to all disciples under the age of 25 in the inner courtyard.

Students can form teams of seven and compete in a series of battles until a champion is crowned.

Afterwards, the team will have to go through the evaluation of the Sea God Pavilion. If they are approved by more than two-thirds of the elders, they can become the new generation of Shrek Seven Devils.

If they don't achieve approval, then the evaluation of this year's Shrek Seven Devils will be in vain.

Among the selection criteria, there is a special note: no one may join any organization (except Tang Clan).

Clearly, this rule is specifically targeting Zhao Tao and Gu Yue, disqualifying them.

Afterwards, Wu Changkong also persuaded Na'er, Ye Xinglan, Wu Siduo, Yuanen Yehui, Xu Xiaoyan, Tang Wulin, and Xie Xie to form a team and participate in the competition for the Shrek Seven Devils.

However, the five women, including Na'er, all expressed that if Zhao Tao could not participate in the election of the Shrek Seven Devils, then they would also refuse to participate.

Wu Changkong also reported the five women's request to the Sea God Pavilion.

In response, Ya Li suggested giving Zhao Tao and Gu Yue a chance. After all, although Shrek Academy and the Spirit Pagoda occasionally have friction, they are united in general, have cooperated historically, and have a harmonious overall atmosphere.

However, Long Yeyue was absolutely opposed to Ya Li's proposal, and even rallied several elders from her faction to exert pressure on her.

Ultimately, in order to prevent the Sea God Pavilion and Shrek Academy from splitting apart, Yun Ming had no choice but to maintain Shrek Academy's consistent tradition and not give Zhao Tao and Gu Yue the qualifications to participate in the selection.

Ya Li also went to Zhao Tao to tell him that this was not Yun Ming's way of targeting him, but Long Yeyue's decision. She hoped that he would not hold a grudge against the academy because of this, and Zhao Tao expressed his understanding in person.

Immediately afterwards, the competition for the Shrek Seven Devils also began in full swing.

In fact, since Zhao Tao's team did not participate, only three teams were left that met the requirements.

After a fierce competition, the group of seven former third-year students who had previously fought against Zhao Tao—Li Qiankun, Mo Jue, Ye Wu, and others—emerged victorious in the competition to become the new generation of Shrek Seven Devils.

Although the seven had crossed two grades, they were defeated by Zhao Tao and others, which seemed quite pathetic.

However, in reality, looking at the entire Douluo Continent, they can all be considered top-tier geniuses, and they all advanced to become One-Word Battle Armor Masters around the age of twenty, which is quite rapid.

Given that Zhao Tao was unable to participate in the Shrek Seven Devils selection, his teammates refused to participate, the Shrek Seven Devils selection had indeed been undecided for many years, and Long Yeyue's strong promotion, among other factors, the selection process was complicated by a combination of factors.

Li Qiankun and other third-year students were finally recognized by the Sea God Pavilion and inherited the title of the new generation of Shrek Seven Devils.

But... do they deserve it?

Almost all the trainees knew that the conclusion was completely unacceptable!

They are just the Shrek Seven Devils in name only. In terms of real strength, they are no match for Zhao Tao and the others, and may even be easily defeated!

At the same time, Zhao Tao and his teammates were unwilling to be so pathetic as to let a group of defeated generals become the Shrek Seven Devils and stand on their heads!

In particular, when everyone learned that the one who strongly promoted Li Qiankun and others to become the Shrek Seven Devils was none other than Long Yeyue, who was doing everything she could to prevent Zhao Tao from participating in the Shrek Seven Devils selection!

They were seething with anger; they were determined to avenge this wrong!

Since Long Yeyue is targeting Brother Tao, they will absolutely not swallow their anger and let that old dog Long Yeyue have an easy time!

And so...

After the academy announced the list of the current Shrek Seven Devils, Zhao Tao led his team to challenge them!

The final result... is naturally beyond doubt!

Although he only revealed his Soul Emperor cultivation level, Zhao Tao still led his teammates to easily defeat this generation of "Shrek Seven Devils", thoroughly humiliating Long Yeyue!

Knowing that he was indeed unworthy of the title "Shrek Seven Devils," Li Qiankun still had some sense of shame and led his teammates to resolutely resign.

Upon hearing this news, Yunming and Yali didn't say much, but simply sighed.

As for that old bastard Long Yeyue, he spouted nonsense and even threatened to take revenge on Zhao Tao and Gu Yue. As for Na'er, she didn't dare to take revenge, so she kept quiet.

Hearing that Long Yeyue wanted to take revenge on him, Zhao Tao was not flustered at all!

Although Long Yeyue was indeed a Limit Douluo, and even a top-tier Quasi-God-level Limit Douluo, Zhao Tao's cultivation had long since reached the early stage of Godhood, and he was not afraid of Long Yeyue at all!

Of course, Zhao Tao did not want to reveal his strength and clash with Long Yeyue for the time being, so he chose to graduate!

Since Zhao Tao, Gu Yue, and Na'er had all openly forged two-word battle armor, their graduation applications were all successfully approved.

After graduating from the Inner Academy, Zhao Tao, along with Gu Yue and Na'er, left Shrek Academy and headed to the Spirit Pagoda.

As for Wu Siduo, Ye Xinglan, Xu Xiaoyan, Dai Yun'er, Xie Xie, and Tang Wulin, they are all disciples of the Tang Sect and cannot leave together.

Yunming and Yali did not stop them. What's done is done; if it's going to rain, it's going to rain, and if a mother is going to remarry, you can't stop her.

However, he still invited Na'er and Zhao Tao to come home more often when they had time, and not to worry about that old geezer Long Yeyue.

At the same time, he reassured Zhao Tao that he would keep an eye on Long Yeyue and would absolutely not allow her to use her position to settle personal scores or retaliate against Zhao Tao's teammates.

And so, Zhao Tao parted ways with his teammates, leaving Shrek Academy amidst the reluctant gazes of the women, Tang Wulin, and Xie Xie. He returned to the Spirit Pagoda headquarters.
