The scene shifted.
Unlike the bustling excitement in other places, there was no particular reaction on Shen Han Yu's side. He simply continued watching the show, occasionally offering his own opinions or letting out a burst of laughter.
Shui Bing'er walked over to Shen Han Yu's side and asked with a light smile:
"Brother Yu, what do you think, who has the greater chance of winning between Shrek Academy and Canghui Academy…"
It was clear that Shui Bing'er seemed quite interested in the situation below.
Shen Han Yu felt it out for a moment before speaking softly:
"There's nothing much to compare. With both team leaders at the Soul Ancestor realm, their actual combat strength isn't that different. Canghui Academy generally holds the soul power advantage, but their martial souls are too uniform, and judging by their and Shi Nian's personalities, they are very likely to hide their strength. On the other hand, although Shrek doesn't have the soul power advantage, they hold the upper hand in terms of martial souls…"
"Moreover, that Tang San has some special methods that perfectly counter Canghui Academy's martial soul characteristics. There's no suspense at all…"
Shui Bing'er hummed in acknowledgment, a trace of curiosity appearing in her eyes, but she didn't ask any more questions. In less than two days, they might encounter each other on the battlefield, and everything would naturally become clear then.
...
The facts were exactly as Shen Han Yu had predicted.
Shrek and Canghui, the arch-rivals from the original story, had not clashed before due to some changes, but the conflict had now been made up for.
Just as Shen Han Yu had expected, Canghui Academy hid most of its strength. In the battle against Shrek's group, they were almost completely crushed all the way, and one after another, they were all "invited" off the stage.
Shi Nian, on the other hand, stood expressionlessly to the side watching, with no trace of anger or dissatisfaction on his face. Only deep within his gloomy eyes was hidden an extremely profound calculation and forbearance.
As all seven members of Canghui Academy stepped down from the stage, Shi Nian let out a cold snort. Then, under the somewhat strange gazes of Shrek's group, they helped each other leave the soul battle arena.
The surrounding crowd was filled with dissatisfaction. Anyone with eyes could see how unserious Canghui Academy had been. Aside from dodging and defending, they had hardly made any other unnecessary movements.
There was no joy of victory on the faces of Flanders and the other two, either. Instead, they looked somewhat gloomy.
Liu Erlong raised her eyebrows and said:
"What the hell is Canghui Academy playing at? And that Shi Nian, this doesn't seem like their usual style…"
Flanders remained silent for a moment, then let out a sigh and said:
"Never mind what medicine they're selling in their gourd. For the next few days, have the little monsters all be more cautious. Don't act alone. That Shi Nian guy is sinister and cunning; there's no telling what extreme things he might do…"
Liu Erlong and Zhao Wuji both nodded. Then they waved at the similarly puzzled Tang San and the other seven, signaling for them to come over…
...
The Heaven Dou Academy group, up on the high platform, also felt somewhat bored. It was supposed to be an exhilarating soul master duel, but now it turned out that one side had no intention of fighting seriously at all, let alone exposing their trump cards and true strength. It was inevitable that they felt a little disappointed.
But things had already come to this, so no one bothered to say anything more. After a simple discussion, the teams left the Grand Soul Battle Arena one after another, preparing for tomorrow's opening ceremony and the preliminary rounds…
...
As they were walking out of the Grand Soul Battle Arena, Shen Han Yu, Xue Di, and Shui Bing'er, the three at the very back, happened to run into several members of Shrek Academy who were discussing something.
Shrek's group was first stunned. Then, the moment they saw Shui Bing'er, they froze completely. The ones who reacted the most severely were Ma Hongjun and Xiao Wu, who had been hopping and skipping along the way. In an instant, their faces turned deathly pale, and their bodies involuntarily began to tremble slightly.
Xiao Wu slowly shifted her body and finally hid behind a surprised Tang San. The terror in her eyes was indescribable; she simply wished she could bury herself completely in the ground to steal some sense of security…
Ma Hongjun and the others had a mix of shock and terror in their eyes. While not as intense, they still didn't look very natural.
Dai Mubai quietly breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Shen Liu Yu was not present. Heaven knows what kind of trauma Shen Liu Yu's punch from back then had left on him…
Xue Di's gaze faintly swept over Xiao Wu, who was hiding behind Tang San. Just that one glance caused Xiao Wu's legs to nearly give out as she almost collapsed. The terror in her eyes completely turned into a daze, and for a moment, she lost all basic ability to react.
Not far away, Flanders and the other two noticed something was wrong and hurriedly ran over, instantly drawing quite a few people's attention.
The bright sunlight was very warm. Shen Han Yu's gaze swept across the group, lingering on Tang San for just a second longer before being withdrawn.
Shui Bing'er put on a charming smile, yet that smile carried an indescribable chill. She then said softly:
"What a coincidence. I still remember you all, from Shrek Academy back then…"
Tang San and Dai Mubai exchanged a glance. Tang San cleared his throat and said:
"Yes… What a coincidence…"
Shui Bing'er linked her arm with Shen Han Yu's beside her and continued with a light smile:
"It looks like you're all in good shape. I hope that when we meet on the battlefield later, you can give me a pleasant surprise and not be as… vulnerable as before…"
With that, the three of them continued walking outward. Before long, they boarded the Heaven Dou Academy's carriage one by one, leaving the Shrek group standing stiffly in place.
Flanders watched the slowly departing carriage with a gloomy expression and asked:
"Mubai, Tang San, just now…"
Dai Mubai took a deep breath and said:
"It was nothing, Dean. We just ran into the captain of the Heaven Dou Battle Team, Shui Bing'er. The other man and woman… we…"
Tang San also spoke in a low tone:
"Although it seemed like a chance encounter, her tone carried a strange hostility. This hostility doesn't feel like it comes from hatred, but rather like…"
"A matter of stance… like the racial stance between soul beasts. It's a very strange feeling…"
Oscar had been pulled to the side by Ning Rongrong and didn't speak. Zhu Zhuqing also remained silent. For a moment, an inexplicable quiet fell over the group.
Suddenly, Tang San cried out in alarm. He quickly reached out and caught Xiao Wu, whose face had turned deathly pale and who was on the verge of collapsing. He asked anxiously:
"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, what's wrong with you…"
The others also changed expressions and hurriedly gathered around.
Liu Erlong, ignoring her other chaotic thoughts, had a drastic change in expression. She pushed aside Ma Hongjun and Oscar and said anxiously:
"What happened to Xiao Wu? She was perfectly fine just now. How did she suddenly become like this…"
Tang San shook his head and said in a deep voice:
"Just now, when I turned around, I noticed something was off with Xiao Wu's state. By the time I turned back, she had already become like this…"
Flanders and Zhao Wuji also came over. The former quickly squatted down. After a careful examination, he said:
"There's nothing abnormal inside Xiao Wu's body. It shouldn't be poisoning or caused by a soul skill. That being the case, the problem should be coming from Xiao Wu herself…"
Just as everyone was at a loss, Xiao Wu gently tugged at Tang San's sleeve and murmured in a barely audible voice:
"Hermano…"
Tang San responded anxiously:
"Xiao Wu, speak. Hermano is listening…"
"Hermano… take me away… take me far away… back to the academy…"
Xiao Wu spoke intermittently, as if she couldn't catch her breath. Her heartbeat was extremely violent, as though it wanted to break through the confines of her chest.
Tang San was slightly stunned, but he no longer cared about his confusion. With Dai Mubai's help, he lifted Xiao Wu onto his back and said:
"Alright, Hermano will take you back to the academy right now. Xiao Wu, don't speak anymore. Rest for a while…"
