320 Chapter 320: Amidst Laughter and Cheers

...

"Master, why did you argue with Uncle Xue?" Yan Que lifted her head and asked her master.

Zeng Yi was also somewhat confused. He had just been drinking with a friend, what's wrong with having a female friend? Did Xue Qinghe look down on female friends? He couldn't quite understand why Xue Qinghe was angry.

Isn't he a man? He should have experience in drinking with girls, and their relationship could be quite abnormal.

Why did it feel like being caught cheating by a girlfriend when he came to him?

It was inexplicable.

Zeng Yi scratched his head irritably and said to Yan Que "No, I think he must have taken the wrong medicine today. He'll be fine in a few days. Let's go back first."

"Did Uncle Xue get sick from taking the wrong medicine?" Yan Que asked innocently.

"Seems like it."

...

On the second day, Zeng Yi was about to leave the place he was staying to go to the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena. Just as he opened the door, he saw a familiar figure standing in front of his room.

"Senior Gu Rong, what are you doing here?"

"Your uncle Ning is looking for you, come with me." Bone Douluo, Gu Rong, didn't say much. He grabbed Zeng Yi's shoulder with his big hand, and in Zeng Yi's astonishment, the two disappeared from the spot.

...

Inside the resting room of the Shrek Seven Devils in the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena.

Master Yu Xiaogang looked at the team members with a grave expression "Today, your opponents are very strong. It will be a difficult battle. We might win, but you will also get injured because of it. So, I suggest forfeiting today's match and preserve your strength. It's just one match, and it won't affect our advancement. What do you say?"

"It's impossible, I fear no one. Why should we admit defeat?" Before anyone else could speak, Zhu Zhuqing, who was sitting on the sofa wiping her blades with a cloth, spoke up coldly.

Tang San nodded "She's right, Teacher. The Shrek Seven Devils are not afraid of any opponent. Even if they are strong, does that mean we are weak? If every time we encounter a stronger team, we forfeit, even if we secure a spot, how can we compete for the championship in the end?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but be slightly stunned. He looked at his disciples and felt gratified "Xiao San, you're right. We have no reason to surrender. Since everyone has agreed to this battle, we must win it splendidly."

"That goes without saying."

"Alright, now let me tell you about this team. They are the Elephant Armored Team from the Elephant Armored Academy."

After introducing the Elephant Armored Team, Yu Xiaogang took a sip of water, moistening his dry throat, and continued "Xiao San, as the brains of your team, you'll determine the members for this spirit fight. You don't have to adhere to the rule of only Shrek's Seven Monsters this time. Except for Ning Rongrong, you can distribute as you wish. We still have time before our match, so you have enough time to formulate tactics."

"Oh? We have a another match today? Which two teams are fighting before us?" Tang San asked curiously.

Yu Xiaogang picked up the schedule and looked at it, then smiled "It's the second team from the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy against the Morphin Academy team."

After hearing the name of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy Second Team, Oscar couldn't help but grin "Didn't we beat them so miserably yesterday? Their players lying in bed for half a month. Can they even get up from bed today? They'll probably just surrender."

Hearing Oscar's words, Yu Xiaogang frowned "You might be right. It seems we don't have much time left. Xiao San, you better formulate tactics quickly."

"The first match today, the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy Second Team! Against the Morphin Academy Team! Now, both teams, please enter the stage!" With the host's loud announcement, the audience started discussing.

"The Heaven Dou Imperial Academy Second Team? Isn't that the team that was beaten up by the Shrek Seven Devils yesterday?"

"Don't make me laugh. Can the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy Second Team still continue? They were defeated in less than a minute by someone else?"

"Yesterday, the members of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy Second Team were so injured. Can they still continue the match? They probably just forfeit."

"Who wants to watch the match of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy Second Team? Just feed me rice directly. I came here after having a full meal. Can't we just move to the next match? I want to see the Shrek Seven Devils match."

On the VIP platform, the guests were the same as yesterday, but two seats were added in the front row. One of them was occupied by a tall man, over two meters in height, with a beefy face covered in a white beard. From his pale complexion, one could tell he was not young.

The other person, if Ning RongRong were here, would definitely recognize him as the person who loved her the most - Grandpa Bone Douluo, Gu Rong.

On the right side of the Emperor Xue Ye, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall, Salas, listened to the comments from the audience with a pleased smile on his face. He looked at the Emperor Xue Ye and pretended to be regretful "Alas, it's all because that Shrek Seven Devils were too ruthless yesterday. Otherwise, we might have witnessed a magnificent match today."

The Emperor Xue Ye didn't pay attention to Salas' mockery and just smiled calmly "No need to regret, Bishop Salas. We'll see it soon."

After speaking, the Emperor Xue Ye casually glanced at Ning Fengzhi on the left.

I hope that person is really as powerful as you said.

Upon hearing this, Salas was also surprised. Could it be that the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy Second Team still has reserve members? But, what can reserves do? They will just be clowns if they come up. They'll only become a laughingstock.

Salas stared at the entrance of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy Second Team, wanting to see who would come out from there and what kind of clown they would be.

Under the announcement of the host, seven figures emerged from the entrance of the Morphin Academy on this side: five boys and two girls formed the team. The seven of them walked with their heads held high and a proud demeanor towards the stage.

"It's really lucky today. I didn't expect our opponents to be the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy Second Team. If we hadn't shown our strength in yesterday's match, it would have been challenging for us. But now, isn't the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy Second Team just giving us points?"

"Hahaha, true. Looks like the people from the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy Second Team haven't even stood up from their hospital beds yet."

"Even if they come, they're just a group of weaklings. How could they be the opponents of our Morphin Academy team?"

The seven members of the Morphin Academy team walked confidently as they chatted amidst laughter and cheers, stepping onto the stage and waiting quietly for the opponents, the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy Second Team, to take their positions.

"They probably won't even send anyone out and the referee will announce our victory, right?"

"Sigh, what an easy day. Perfect! We can keep our spirits up and prepare for tomorrow's match."

"Wait, look, someone is coming out of the entrance of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy Second Team."

"How is that possible? Even if someone comes out, they must be weak. The Heaven Dou Imperial Academy Second Team, not at their best, can't possibly be our opponents."

All the audience's attention was focused on the entrance of the Heaven Dou Royal Second Team, wondering if someone would come out onto the stage from there.

A few seconds later, a figure stepped out from the darkness, and then the person's figure was revealed to the audience's eyes.

"It's actually him!"

On the spectator stands, Xue Qinghe stared at the figure walking out of the entrance with widened eyes.

"Huh? Isn't there only one person?"

"Does that mean the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy Second Team really gave up? Just one person for a team of seven, is this their stubbornness?"

"Alas, it seems hopeless. The Heaven Dou Imperial Academy Second Team has already given up on themselves."

"No choice, their team members were too heavily injured in yesterday's match. It's a helpless situation."

"The Heaven Dou Imperial Academy Second Team didn't forfeit, but they only sent one person, is this their final resilience?"

The person who walked out from the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy Second Team, dressed in the specially made uniform of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, had black, long hair tied into a ponytail, swaying behind his back. With a handsome face and a lightly satisfied smile, he did not seem like a competitor, but rather someone who came to play.

He walked onto the stage slowly and stood there, looking at the seven bewildered opponents in front of him. Then he turned his head to the referee standing on the side and smiled slightly, exuding an elegant and carefree temperament.

"Alright, referee, everyone is here. We can start the match now."
