321 – Tang Yuge
TL : GoldenLung
Putting everything else aside, with Lan Mengqin herself, Lan Xuanyu and Dong Qianqiu, plus Lan Xuanyu himself, they already had three Martial Soul Fusion skills. There was also Yuanen Huihui’s Purple Star Spirit Bow. The five of them’s actual combat potential was quite strong.
“Put the bet.” Liu Feng clenched his fist.
Lan Xuanyu said: “No need to hurry, to ensure victory, let’s discuss our tactics first.”
He was taught by Yin Tianfan who was adept at risky moves, but he was in no way acting rashly, he only took risks with great certainty of success.
After discussing, they practiced together some simple coordination exercises. It took a full half an hour before they signed up again.
Two hundred and forty thousand Douluo coins, all bet on themselves.
After a period of waiting, they were informed that they could start preparing for the match.
Stepping into the gate, light flickered, and then they found themselves on the field. However, this time seemed to be different.
In an instant, everything around was lit up, and noisy clamors came from all directions.
Lan Xuanyu and the others looked around, suddenly surprised to find that the seats in the audience for this match were actually full, all spectators.
One had to know, Shrek’s Great Soul Arena could accommodate 80,000 spectators at the same time! What did it mean to be full? This meant that even if it was just tickets’ dividends, it was not a small amount.
Lan Xuanyu’s expression darkened, what did having so many viewers implied ? The audience certainly did not come here because of them. If not because of them, it naturally meant because of their opponent.
There was no doubt that the opponent they were going to face was a very famous team in the five-vs-five category of Shrek’s Great Soul Arena. Being famous meant having a high winning rate and strong strength!
“That system got us !” Yuanen Huihui pursed his lips. But in his pair of differently-colored eyes, they couldn’t hide his excitement.
He actually didn’t care about winning or losing. His family had given him a lot of training resources, so his demand for Shrek emblems was actually not that big. But he still liked this kind of challenge, especially when together with so many teammates.
Lan Xuanyu said solemnly: “Continue according to the plan. Keep your mind steady, we can win this.”
“We must win. If we lose, I will never let you off the hook.” Lan Mengqin said while slightly gritting her teeth.
Lan Xuanyu glanced at her in surprise, and said, “Why do I feel so familiar with that cheapskate att.i.tude ?”
Liu Feng said, “Same as Fatty Qian.”
“Who is the same as that d.a.m.n fatty ?” Lan Mengqin said angrily.
“Get ready. This will definitely be a difficult battle.” Lan Xuanyu said calmly.
No matter how strong the opponent was, they couldn’t afford to lose this game.
On the opposite side, their opponents came into view. To their surprise, a line of golden words appeared above their heads.
“Golden Soul Team. This is a reward that can only be obtained after one hundred victories. And the winning rate must exceed 70%. We have really won the jackpot!” Yuanen Huihui said in surprise.
The Golden Soul was a grade that would appear above a squadron. Like Lan Xuanyu and his Odd and Fantastic Squadron, their team name was not even displayed above them. If one wanted his team’s name to be displayed, they had to first win ten games.
The name that appeared in the golden font was: Suns.h.i.+ne After Rain Squadron.
What surprised them even more was that those five people did not seem not too old. They looked not much older than them, at most, on average two or three years older. Four boys and one girl.
The youngest one was probably the girl. She even looked not that much different from Lan Xuanyu and the others. She was very pretty, with some baby fat still left on her small face, with very cute rosy cheeks. Her long hair was wrapped in a bun at the top of her head, revealing a long, white neck. She was all smiles and looked harmless.
Regardless of her young age, she was standing in the middle of the opposite team, with two teenagers on each side, like stars surrounding the moon.
Upon seeing this girl, Yuanen Huihui’s face suddenly stiffened, “How could it be her?”
Lan Xuanyu asked in confusion: “You know her ?”
“Yeah. She is from our academy, an old foe. She is a direct disciple of Tang Sect, the permanent leader of the third years in the Outer Court of our academy. Her name is Tang Yuge.” When she said the girl’s name, Yuanen Huihui’s expression was obviously a little unnatural.
Tang Yuge? This was the first time Lan Xuanyu heard of this name. But after listening to Yuanen Huihui’s introduction, he felt his heart tighten. The third years’ leader. It also meant that they were about to face a team fully composed of members from Shrek Academy’s third years.
In other words, this was probably the strongest team even among the third years !
Lan Xuanyu’s previous confidence was almost wiped out in an instant, the reason was very simple, when he came to Shrek, he deeply understood how fast the speed of cultivation here was. And their opponent had already cultivated in Shrek Academy for two full years.
He misjudged the system’s reaction. He didn’t expect that it would actually create such a powerful opponent for them.
This was probably at least a team full of five-rings ! Also, Lan Xuanyu realized one thing, what was the criterion for graduation for the second years ? Battle Armor, one-word Battle Armor. In other words, the five opponents in front of them all had Battle Armors. How do they even fight against this? They probably had no chance of winning at all.
“Oh, isn’t that Yuanen Huihui?”
Just as Yuanen Huihui immediately recognized the other party, she also recognized him. Tang Yuge took a few steps forward with a sweet smile, and looked up and down Yuanen Huihui a few times.
“You have just become a first year right? What happened? Was last time’s lesson not enough ? You actually dare to run again into the battlefield to challenge me? Not bad, you have guts. I support you. I didn’t expect the system to treat me so well, actually giving me an opponent I wanted to fight so much against. How do you want to die ? Tell your sister quickly, your sister will help you.”
“Tang Yuge, don’t go too far! If I had a battle armor, I wouldn’t be afraid of you.” Yuanen Huihui gritted his teeth.
Tang Yuge curled her lips, “Whose fault is it that you don’t have a Battle Armor ? That’s simply because you are not strong enough. Don’t curse me for not being kind to my fellows from the same academy, hurry up and surrender if you want to avoid some pain. Don’t forget that our Shrek simulation pod is set to 30% of the pain.”
Yuanen Huihui was about to say something, but was stopped by Lan Xuanyu. He took two steps forward and said with a smile: “h.e.l.lo, senior sister, I am Lan Xuanyu, first year student.”
Tang Yuge looked at him, and her eyes suddenly brightened, “Lan Xuanyu? I think I have heard your name. You were first in the entrance exam for the first years right ? I heard that you were only two-ring ? Seems like this year’s freshmen are quite weak !”
“Tang Yuge, don’t be too arrogant.” Yuanen Huihui was furious. Lan Mengqin’s face was also icy cold. Dong Qianqiu frowned slightly, but Liu Feng’s eyes were completely chilly.
Lan Xuanyu smiled and said: “Yeah! We are so weak, can senior sister be merciful? Can you just let us win this match ? We are willing to pay some compensation.”
Tang Yuge was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said, “You are in the freshman bonus period, so you have probably made a big bet. Let me listen, how much did you bet?”
Lan Xuanyu said in embarra.s.sment: “Senior sister, we bet 50,000 coins. You also know that the freshman period is not easy to come by ! Can I please ask senior sister to accommodate?”
“Fifty thousand? Quite rich, aren’t you guys.” Tang Yuge smiled and said, “It’s not that senior sister doesn’t want to be accommodating. Look, I have so many fans watching this game. If I deliberately lose to you, I will get reported. I’m really helpless. New students don’t have it easy, but what does it have to do with me? With Yuanen Huihui here, there is no way I can throw the game !”
