Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 288 Elemental Academy VS Shrek Academy

Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also considered annexing the Elemental Academy to strengthen its own power, this idea was not as urgent as Yu Xiaogang's.

After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School only suffered heavy damage, but the school's heritage was not broken, and its most coveted wealth was still there, which was much better than the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, which now only had a name left.

Anxious and desperate, Yu Xiaogang, emboldened by some unknown source, grabbed the contract signed by Deans Huo Yang, Shui Qingwu, and Feng Lin and rushed up to Xiao Yu, saying, "Your Majesty, although you are a Title Douluo, we must still be reasonable. This is the signature of the three deans. Can Your Majesty simply ignore it?"

Snapped!

Xiao Yu didn't hesitate to give Yu Xiaogang a sharp rebuke, "You dare to talk about reason? You should know better than me the circumstances under which the three deans signed this contract. If you really have no shame, I don't mind giving you a hand!"

Snapped!

Still reeling from the shock, Yu Xiaogang was once again subjected to a major challenge: "Furthermore, I am a titled Douluo, and you, a mere Soul Master, who gave you the audacity to question me!"

Snapped!

The third major challenge followed immediately: "Don't you even look at the teaching level of Shrek Academy? Blazing Fire, Divine Wind, and Heavenly Water are all first-class academies with thousands of years of history. What are you, a third-rate, low-class academy, trying to do by joining in? Are you trying to lower their standards?"

"What do you mean by that?"

At this point, Flander, who had been tightly holding onto Liu Erlong, and Zhao Wuji, who had been watching the show with his arms crossed, could no longer hold back. For them, Shrek Academy was the culmination of half their lives, something more important than their own lives.

The two of them, along with Liu Erlong who had been holding back for a long time, rushed forward.

"Your Majesty, your words are truly outrageous!"

Flander's face was filled with anger. "Although Shrek Academy is relatively new, we have our own teaching philosophy and a strong faculty. We are not the second-rate academy Your Majesty speaks of!"

Liu Erlong first reached out and pulled Yu Xiaogang, whose face was swollen from being slapped, behind her before speaking, "In the last Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition, our Shrek Academy achieved a top-three finish, and Emperor Xue Ye even awarded us the Excellent School Medal!"

"Liu Erlong, are you really unaware, or are you pretending?"

Xiao Yu scoffed, "Your Shrek Academy students were able to achieve a top-three finish because of their own abilities? It was because your good brother's old flame, whom you're currently protecting, helped you all the way to the finals!"

"You're talking nonsense!"

Liu Erlong was so angry that her face turned red.

Flander's face also turned extremely grim, and he said in a cold voice, "Your Majesty, we at Shrek Academy will never accept such an insult. Please retract your words, otherwise, even if it means death, Flander will uphold Shrek's dignity!"

Huo Wu sneered, "Take back what? Many of you here participated in the last Soul Master Competition. Everyone knows what kind of opponents Shrek Academy faced before the finals. What, can't Shrek Academy even hear a little truth?"

Fueled by rage, Flander was like a balloon about to burst, the veins on his neck throbbing, his face flushed red, and he was speechless as he pointed at Huo Wu.

Huo Wu scoffed disdainfully, "What, you're not convinced? Then let's settle this with a fight and see if the students from our Blazing Fire, Divine Wind, and Heavenly Water academies are stronger, or if the students from your Shrek Academy are stronger!"

"good!"

Just then, Bone Douluo, who had been silent, suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiao Yu, saying, "Xiao Yu, since that's the case, why don't we gamble according to the rules of the Soul Master world? If Elemental Academy wins, the agreement signed between Shenfeng, Tianshui, Chihuo, and Shrek Academy will be null and void. But if they lose, you will not only have to retract your insults to Shrek Academy, but the three academies of Shenfeng, Tianshui, and Chihuo will also be merged into Shrek Academy according to the previously signed agreement."

Gambling duels seem to be a unique feature of Douluo Continent. Although Xiao Yu himself was quite speechless about these duels, he felt that if he clearly had the advantage, he should just crush the opponent directly instead of leaving them a chance to counterattack.

However, in Douluo Continent, gambling has an extremely high status. If someone refuses to gamble, their reputation will plummet.

Given Xiao Yu's current status and position, he naturally wouldn't do anything to damage his reputation. However, that didn't mean he would easily fall into the trap set by Bone Douluo: "Do you think I'm stupid? The Elemental Academy doesn't belong to Shrek Academy. How can you use it as a wager? Even if you lose, you won't suffer any loss whatsoever!"

"So what do you want to do?"

Bone Douluo snorted coldly upon hearing this. Xiao Yu was a young man, but he was incredibly shrewd. Unfortunately, he had already grown powerful and could no longer do anything to him.

"First of all, the Elemental Academy is not my property; I have no right to make decisions about it!"

Xiao Yu turned to Huo Ao and the others, "Seniors, are you willing to participate in the bet proposed by Gu Rong and fight against Shrek Academy?"

This action caused Huo Ao and the others' goodwill to rise rapidly. Given the current situation, even if Xiao Yu overstepped his bounds and made decisions for them, they would have no complaints. Perhaps there was an element of Xiao Yu putting on an act, but this respect still gave them a great sense of satisfaction.

"Everything is up to Your Majesty!"

The group readily handed over the decision-making power to Xiao Yu, who, without further ado, immediately issued a new challenge to Shrek Academy on behalf of the Elemental Academy:

"If Shenfeng Chihuo Tianshui Academy loses, then the three academies will be merged into Shrek Academy. But if Shrek Academy loses, there's no need for Shrek Academy to lower its status by joining Elemental Academy; we just need to transfer Shrek Academy's current campus to Elemental Academy!"

"Okay, we'll take the bet!"

Feeling deeply insulted, Flander accepted the bet without hesitation. Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong, the outstanding graduate and young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, strode to the front and shouted, "Bring it on, however you want!"

"Let's go three against three."

Xiao Yu said calmly, "On our side, Blazing Fire, Divine Wind, and Heavenly Water will each send one person, and Shrek Academy will also send three. One round will decide the winner!"

"Wait a minute!"

Bone Douluo stared at Xiao Yu and said, "Since this is a competition between the Elemental Academy and Shrek Academy, I presume you won't intervene?"

Xiao Yu shrugged indifferently: "I'm not a student of the Elemental Academy, so naturally I won't participate!"

Without the chance to obtain the immortal herb, Shrek Academy is just so-so. Tang San, the strongest among them, and Dai Mubai, the second strongest, are also gone. With Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er who absorbed the ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing Marrow, and Feng Xiaotian with innate full soul power, they are more than capable of dealing with them.
