After returning to the meeting room, they found out Ling Luochen had completely recovered from her injury.
"The next competition will be easy," Teacher Zhou Yi spoke, looking at her intriguingly.
Xiao Yi glanced at the other team members and then looked at Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong leaving the hotel.
'I remember, the national protector considered Huo Yuhao a fierce beast and attacked him; if the plot already changed, then such an encounter won't happen,'
Xiao Yi thought to himself and then walked outside the hotel, following them silently.
After a while,
Xiao Yi walked on the street; suddenly his footsteps halted as he looked at the direction of the dimming lights on the poles at the edge of the street.
Suddenly a dark domain covered his surroundings and trapped him in the middle.
Xiao Yi heard a footstep sound and glanced at the direction of a senior-aged man with a dark beard and black attire.
'Why did he attack me instead of Huo Yuhao?'
Xiao Yi thought to himself and then glanced at the direction of the man in front of him and asked, "Who are you? What do you want?"
"I am Cheng Gang, the protector of the Star Luo empire. I suspect that you cheated in the competition, kid. Unleash your true strength and show it to me."
Cheng Gang spoke, looking at him, and then released his martial spirit and suppression, aiming at him.
'This guy really wants to get abused one way or another,'
Xiao Yi thought to himself, feeling the suppression affecting his body, and then shook his head and replied, "Aren't you worried that I may belong to some hidden clan and you will offend someone that you shouldn't?"
Cheng Gang was surprised looking at him acting fine under his title Douluo pressure, then his expression became cold hearing his word, and he replied,
"Even if that's the case, aren't you worried that I will deal with you before your clan arrives? Who would believe such a childish bluff? Also, tell me, how did you endure my title-level suppression? You were really cheating."
Xiao Yi shook his head and replied, "I didn't cheat; it's just your strength is not enough to suppress me."
"Looking for death,"
Cheng Gang snorted with a cold expression and then raised his hand toward him, releasing countless dark mist claws that protruded out from the ground and attacked him.
Swish!!!
The next moment, a purple ray flashed, and all the dark mist dissipated, and a figure wearing a mask and a dark purple dress appeared in front of Xiao Yi. It was one of the divine clones.
"Who are you?" Cheng Gang was startled, and he backed away, vigilantly looking at him.
"Young master, are you fine?" Purple ignored him and asked, looking at Xiao Yi,
Xiao Yi nodded and then glanced at the direction of alert Cheng Gang. "Deal with him; just don't kill him."
"Yes, young master," Purple replied and then glanced in the direction of Cheng Gang coldly.
Xiao Yi also smiled looking at him and then turned around and walked away.
"Wait, listen to me, I am a protector…"
Bang! Boom!! Bash!!!
"Ahhhh,"
"Rao,"
The Cheng Gang's painful screams spread through the surrounding area, while Xiao Yi appeared near a late-night stall, unfazed, and started eating BBQ.
Meanwhile, Xuan Lao, lying on a tree branch, concealingly looking at the direction of the purple, abusing the Cheng Gang solemnly,
'I can't sense the realm of this person; it seems the background of that little guy is mysterious,'
…
Soon the night receded, and the sun rose from the other corner of the sky.
The Shrek members gathered in the arena amidst the cheers, and other team members appeared in their respective areas.
"Today is the eighth round of competition, Shrek vs. Duolingo Academy. Please, captains of both teams, come on stage for the draw."
The referee announced, looking at the direction of both teams,
Xiao Yi glanced at the opposite team; it is one of the strongest teams besides the Sun and Moon Empire.
At this moment, Dai Yueheng moved forward toward the stage against the captain of the Duoling team.
Soon the full competition mode was drawn, and seven Shrek members walked on the stage: Dai Yueheng, Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Xu Sanshi, and Bei Bei.
While Xiao Yi, Jiang Nannan, and Xiao Xiao stayed behind as reserve team members,
'Probably the main plot inertia is that Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong are weaker than me, but the destiny of this dimension still chose them over me; anyway, they will win,'
Xiao Yi thought to himself, looking at the stage calmly, soon the competition began, and both teams started attacking each other.
'This Ma Xiaotao evil phoenix is shown invincible in this timeline, but Ma Hongjun was just the weakest one amongst the original Shrek members,'
Xiao Yi thought to himself, looking at Ma Xiaotao as she flew past the barrier arranged by the opponent team and unleashed her flame skills upon them,
On the other hand, Dai Yueheng fought the other spirit emperor and used his white tiger blade against the bamboo forest of his opponent, defeating him in one slash.
When the remaining team of Duoling completed the charge of their full cannon and wanted to blast away the Shrek,
Cloud-Piercing Flame!!!
Ma Xiaotao used her sixth soul ability and destroyed the cannon and defeated them all in one fell swoop.
"The Shrek Academy wins," The referee hurriedly announced excitedly, after seeing the stage cleared,
The whole audience cheered, and the competition continued for a few days, and finally the Shrek Academy advanced to the semifinals.
...
Next morning,
Shrek members appeared on the stage against the Star Luo Academy; it is the royal academy of the Star Luo Empire.
"The main character in the Star Luo team is the princess Jiu. She owns the main Star Crown martial spirit, which belongs to the royal family of the Star Luo Empire. She will be a challenging option for our team."
Teacher Zhou Yi commented, looking at the stage, then both team started colliding.
