Chapter 200 Reserve Team? Shrek Academy is Really Overestimating Itself!
"However, Xue'er, you shouldn't go on," Dai Huabin added.
Xue Qingyao raised her head, her sky-blue eyes looking at Dai Huabin. She tilted her head slightly, as if asking why.
Dai Huabin shrugged.
"Xue'er, if you, with your Level 70 cultivation, were to stand on the stage, the competition would be over immediately. If you want to play around, you should wait until the finals."
We have to save face for the other academies and give Dong'er and the others a chance to shine.
Upon hearing the words "Level 70," Dai Yaoheng's cheeks twitched violently.
He still hadn't fully accepted that this seemingly aloof and detached girl, who had always been by Dai Huabin's side, had broken through to the Soul Sage realm without a word!
Ma Xiaotao also looked at Xue Qingyao with a complicated expression.
Wasn't she Level 65 before?
How did she get to Level 70 in the blink of an eye?
She, the official team leader, was only Level 67. Although Level 67 was no match for Xue Qingyao's Level 65 back then, at least her soul power was higher than Xue Qingyao's.
Xue Qingyao was already Level 70. This reserve team was even more terrifying than the main team. What's the point of this competition? Just take the championship trophy back to Shrek.
Xue Qingyao thought about it and felt that Dai Huabin made sense.
She never liked joining in the fun, and to her, these kinds of competitions in the human world were no different from playing house.
"Okay. I'll listen to you." Xue Qingyao's voice was clear and crisp. After speaking, she lowered her head and continued reading.
Once the lineup was finalized, Zhang Lexuan began to arrange the details.
"Now that the entire reserve team is participating, Hua Bin, as the team leader, you will decide on the specific tactics," Zhang Lexuan said.
Dai Huabin nodded and looked at Wang Dong'er and the others.
"The tactics are simple. On the other side are four Soul Masters and three Soul Elders. At the start, Dong'er, Cui Yajie, and Xiao Xiao, the three of you will provide firepower suppression and control from the back. Ning Tian will be responsible for the overall amplification. Lulu and I will charge in front."
He paused for a moment, his tone becoming somewhat casual.
"However, it probably won't require any complicated coordination. A single wave of attacks will suffice."
Wang Dong'er rolled her eyes at him.
"Keep bragging. What if things go wrong? How will you, as the team leader, handle that?"
"A rollover?" Dai Huabin chuckled. "If we can rollover even against Heavenly Spirit Academy, then I might as well quit being the second young master of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion and just go home and farm."
A soft laugh broke out in the meeting room.
Di Lingxi, who hadn't said much until now, came over from the side.
Today she was wearing a pale yellow dress, her long golden hair was tied in a high ponytail, and she was holding a pastry that she had gotten from who-knows-where.
"Hua Bin, I want to go play on stage too!" Di Lingxi said indistinctly while chewing on pastries, her face full of anticipation.
Dai Huabin quickly pressed down on her head and pushed her back.
"Forget about you, you're not on our contestant list. You can just stay in the audience and eat snacks with Bing'er."
Di Lingxi pouted, reluctantly said "Oh," and turned to run to find Bing Hanyue.
Seeing that it was almost time, Zhang Lexuan stood up and clapped her hands.
"Alright everyone, pack up and get ready to head to Starry Sky Square. Today is the opening ceremony and also the first elimination round. Shrek's glory rests in your hands."
Everyone responded in unison.
Half an hour later, the Shrek team walked out of the hotel, immediately attracting a crowd of onlookers on the street.
The group of over a dozen people was quite large, especially the girls in the team, each with stunning looks and unique temperament. Dai Huabin, who was walking at the very front, became the target of envy for all the male Soul Masters.
Star Luo Plaza was not far from Star Emperor Hotel.
The square was already packed with people, and the stands around it were full of spectators.
In the center of the square, a huge square arena had been set up.
Team leader Mr. Ma, along with Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, were standing at the entrance of the contestants' passage.
Seeing the Shrek Academy students approaching, Xiao Hongchen's expression immediately darkened.
"Brother, don't go and provoke them again." Meng Hongchen tugged at Xiao Hongchen's sleeve.
Xiao Hongchen snorted coldly.
"I'm not that bored. I want to see what this Dai Huabin is capable of that makes him so arrogant."
When Dai Huabin walked past the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy's team, he merely glanced at Xiao Hongchen without stopping, and led his team directly into Shrek Academy's private rest area.
This utter disregard infuriated Xiao Hongchen.
In the rest area, Dai Huabin called several members of the reserve team together.
"We're about to go on stage. Remember, our goal is not only to win, but to win easily."
Dai Huabin looked at the girls in front of him.
"Ning Tian, immediately buff everyone with Strength and Speed at the start. Dong'er, don't hold back with your Butterfly God's Light. Xiao Xiao, use the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron to smash the enemy's control class. Ya Jie, use your Charm skill to keep an eye on the enemy captain."
The girls nodded in agreement. Although Wang Dong'er often bickered with Dai Huabin, she was never ambiguous when it came to serious matters.
"Then what are you and Lulu doing?" Wang Dong'er asked.
Dai Huabin smiled and said, "Us? We'll take care of cleaning up after you've finished performing."
The referee's loud voice came from outside, spreading throughout the entire square through the amplified soul guide.
"The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, First Round Elimination Match, First Game!"
"Shrek Academy versus Heavenly Spirit Advanced Soul Master Academy!"
"Please bring your players onto the field!"
Dai Huabin took a deep breath and turned to look at Zhu Lu.
Zhu Lu smiled at him and took the initiative to extend her hand.
Dai Huabin took her soft hand and led the girls from the reserve team out of the passage.
The moment the Shrek team appeared on the stage, the entire Star Luo Plaza erupted in deafening cheers.
However, when the audience in the stands saw the team members coming onto the field, they were all stunned.
"What's going on? Why did Shrek send a bunch of teenagers to the field?"
"That blond boy who's leading the group looks to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, right? And the girls behind him are even younger than that!"
"What is Shrek doing? Are they fielding their entire reserve team for the first elimination match?"
The discussions grew louder and louder, and the entire Star Luo Plaza was in chaos.
The rest area of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
Xiao Hongchen jumped up from his chair, nearly crushing the teacup in his hand.
"Mr. Ma, look! What is Shrek doing!"
Xiao Hongchen pointed at the arena, somewhat puzzled.
"Reserve! They actually deployed their entire reserve force!"
Old Ma sat motionless in his chair, his brows furrowed into a knot.
He couldn't understand Shrek's move either.
Meng Hongchen sat to the side, holding a glass of juice in her hand, her gaze fixed on Dai Huabin at the front of the ring.
"Brother, can you just shut up for a second?"
Meng Hongchen took a sip of juice, then slowly opened her mouth.
"Shrek dares to make such arrangements, they must have the confidence. Look at Dai Huabin, does he even look a little nervous?"
Xiao Hongchen snorted and sat back down in his chair.
"Pretentious!"
Meng Hongchen ignored him and turned back to stare at the arena.
She always felt that the guy named Dai Huabin had an inexplicable sinister aura about him.
The exclusive VIP lounge for the royal family of the Star Luo Empire.
Xu Jiujiu, dressed in a gorgeous gold dress, sat gracefully on a large velvet chair.
Hearing the commotion outside, she leaned slightly forward and looked down at the arena.
After seeing the Shrek team's lineup, Xu Jiujiu's rosy lips parted slightly in surprise.
"It really is Hua Bin's reserve team." Xu Jiujiu murmured to herself.
After a long absence, Dai Huabin's aura became even more astonishing.
"Your Highness, isn't Shrek's arrangement a bit too ambitious?" A minister from the Star Luo Empire standing to the side couldn't help but speak up.
He shook his head for a long time, then chuckled softly.
"No, you don't understand him. Dai Huabin is the kind of person who never does anything he's not sure of."
Xu Jiujiu's face was full of curiosity. Just how many trump cards did this guy have up his sleeve?
However, the atmosphere in the ring was completely different from the excitement in the stands.
