Chapter 113 Shrek's Glory, Star God Sword, Ye Xinglan
"Look, the Shrek Academy team is coming onto the field!"
"I'm really looking forward to it. I heard that all the students coming this time are from the outer academy of Shrek Academy, and none of them are even sixteen years old."
"Hehehe, that female student is so heroic! Even if she gets kicked off the stage, I'll accept it."
"Hmm? Why should I reward you?"
"..."
As the Shrek Academy team entered the arena, the Tianhai Alliance stadium erupted in chaos, with waves of cheers and discussions rising and falling.
In the eyes of these geniuses, Shrek Academy is simply the holy land of soul masters in the entire Federation. The mere name of Shrek Academy is enough to stir their nerves and stimulate their minds.
The Shrek Academy players on the field, facing the cheers from the sidelines, displayed proud expressions, their reputation for Shrek Academy beyond question.
Jiang Xiu's gaze flickered, lingering briefly on two team members: the boy leading the team and a girl.
The girl was tall and slender. The somewhat bulky school uniform looked extremely slim and well-proportioned on her. Her golden ponytail was pulled back, and she had a pair of very beautiful large blue eyes. Her skin was fair and delicate, and under the spotlight, it had a jelly-like texture.
She appeared to be the youngest in the group, but she always kept a stern face with a cold expression, looking like a little adult, and exuding a sharp and ruthless aura.
"Star God Sword, Ye Xinglan..." Jiang Xiu murmured to himself. He had a very deep impression of this girl with unwavering faith.
However, after only a moment, Jiang Xiu turned his gaze to the young man at the head of the group, who was none other than Yu Yuanheng, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Master and captain of the Shrek Academy team.
"A Soul Master, the eldest son of the current Thunder Douluo, his cultivation and status are both quite good..." Jiang Xiu gave him a meaningful look.
"Alright, you're the unlucky one this time."
Yu Yuanheng ranked fifth on the Federation's list of young geniuses, and even among the top students in Shrek Academy's outer academy, he was just the right stepping stone for his plans.
"Now that I've chosen my target, I can get to the next step once I get back," Jiang Xiu thought to himself.
After all, a mere student wouldn't be enough to provoke Shrek Academy's formidable nerves, so what he needed to prepare next was of utmost importance.
That was enough to catch the eye of a certain Holy Spirit Douluo...
"Hey, what are you looking at?"
Just then, Na'er's beautiful eyes narrowed like a little fox's, and her icy words rang in Jiang Xiu's ears.
Jiang Xiu subtly withdrew his gaze, coughed twice, and said, "It's nothing, it'll be our turn to register soon."
As she spoke, she took Na'er's arm and walked forward. Na'er's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her red lips pursed. She realized that after leaving the Body Sect, her boss no longer seemed to belong to her alone...
After Jiang Xiu and Na'er registered, the competition began on the stage, after both sides had announced their names.
Shrek Academy's opponent was the team sent by the Tianhai Alliance. However, in terms of strength and qualifications, the Tianhai Alliance team was far inferior to Shrek Academy, and the difference could be seen from the ratio of spirit rings alone.
In just one minute, the Tianhai Alliance team was completely defeated, without any chance to resist. On the other hand, the Shrek Academy team was unscathed, as easily as drinking water or eating.
"Boss, that girl named Ye Xinglan, she seems to have grasped the essence of swordsmanship." From the stands, Na'er's purple eyes flashed with a glint of light as she exclaimed in amazement.
In the recent competition, apart from Yu Yuanheng, who is a Soul Master, the most outstanding performer was not any of the other Soul Venerables, but Ye Xinglan, who is a Great Soul Master.
When Ye Xinglan attacked with his longsword, he clearly entered a special state, a state that was as if he and the sword were one. This special state was a kind of "sword intent".
Ye Xinglan is only eleven years old. To be able to comprehend sword intent at such a young age is a testament to her exceptional talent in the path of swordsmanship.
Jiang Xiu nodded slightly. There was also a sword fanatic ten thousand years ago, but Ye Xinglan was superior in terms of innate talent.
"Second-class junior, Na'er, this is our opponent in the team competition. Are you confident?" Jiang Xiuqing said, looking at Na'er who was eating delicious nuts beside him.
"Don't worry, boss, my gun is just as good." Na'er put down her snacks and said eagerly.
She already knew this so-called artistic conception 108,000 years ago.
"Na'er, your task is to clear out all opponents before the finals for the boss, and I alone am enough for the last match against Shrek Academy." Jiang Xiu shook his head slightly, his gaze deep and distant.
"Well... that works too." Na'er pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly. Anyway, she and the boss were on the same team, so they could just go and wreak havoc together.
As the Tianhai Alliance team left the stage, only the Shrek Academy students stood proudly on the stage. Yu Yuanheng's lips curled into a smirk as he glanced at the audience.
"Remember, we come from Shrek Academy, the Shrek Academy that only trains monsters."
Yu Yuanheng's words resounded throughout the arena, but his arrogant words did not arouse resentment; instead, they elicited even louder cheers from those present.
"Shrek! Shrek! Shrek!"
Hearing the cheers around her, Ye Xinglan gripped the Star God Sword tightly in her hand, a resolute look appearing in her eyes, and even her breathing became a little rapid. This was the glory she wanted to protect!
"Oh? It seems that this Ye Xinglan has been deeply poisoned by Shrek Academy's ideology." Noticing the change in Ye Xinglan's expression, Na'er raised an eyebrow and said pointedly.
Having grown up in the Spirit Pagoda, she had come to know quite a bit about Shrek Academy, her old rival, through her constant exposure to it.
Students who come from Shrek Academy all recognize the honor of Shrek Academy and even take it as their own responsibility to protect the honor of Shrek Academy. Sometimes, during battle, they will shout things like "honor" and "reputation" as they charge at their opponents.
"Cough cough..." Jiang Xiu choked on the water he had just swallowed upon hearing this, but he knew that Na'er was right.
Ye Xinglan has a simple mind; besides the sword in her hand, she is also concerned with the concept of honor that she was instilled with after joining Shrek Academy.
This child was naive and at a passionate age, and with Shrek Academy's enticement, he naturally took the bait.
"Saving wayward girls isn't something I can't do..." Jiang Xiu stroked his chin, pondering the matter.
Ye Xinglan has good talent, and is even more outstanding among his peers. Now he has also comprehended "sword intent". If we can bring him under our control, he will be a great help.
However, to rebuild a belief, Ye Xinglan's previous firm belief must be shattered.
"Jiang Xiu, Na'er."
At this moment, a clear, cold voice came from behind Jiang Xiu. When Jiang Xiu and Na'er turned around, they saw Gu Yue, dressed in a school uniform, walking gracefully from a distance.
"How come I ran into this guy again?" Na'er's face changed immediately when she saw Gu Yue. She reached out, took out a nut, put it in her mouth and chewed it hard, but the next moment she spat it out because it was a bad fruit.
"As expected, running into this guy has ruined my luck."
Jiang Xiu looked at Gu Yue, his gaze flickering slightly: "Gu Yue, are you here to participate in the competition too?"
Gu Yue came up behind the two of them, slowly sat down, her beautiful eyes sweeping over Na'er, who looked like a wronged child, and then she smiled at Jiang Xiu: "That's right, Teacher Wu asked us to give it a try and see how much of a difference there is between us and the students from Shrek Academy."
As she spoke, Gu Yue pointed to Tang Wulin and his group not far away. Tang Wulin was showing off his fruit platter, and a large, dark green figure had appeared beside him. The two of them were showing off their fruit platter together. That person was Xu Lizhi, a student from Shrek Academy who had been standing on the competition stage earlier.
"Boss, we should go back and rest now that we've registered. Tomorrow is the blacksmith competition you're participating in."
Seeing that Gu Yue's gaze was lingering on Jiang Xiu, Na'er seemed to remember something. After giving Gu Yue a warning look, she prepared to pull Jiang Xiu away.
In Na'er's opinion, Jiang Xiu now possesses the essence of the Golden Dragon King. Compared to Gu Yue, he is like flesh and blood placed in front of a shark, easily swallowed up. She must be wary!
"Then we'll be going now." Jiang Xiu smiled slightly at Gu Yue, and then let Na'er pull him along.
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Gu Yue's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of inquiry flashing across them.
"It seems that Di Tian was right, the Golden Dragon King's essence is indeed within you."
"How did you survive that abyssal tide in Snow City back then...?"
