Chapter 1307: Beat Them to A Pulp

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The notice had just been released, but it already had the overwhelming support of the Tang Sect members. Many Tang Sect disciples who lived in the outskirts of Star Luo City drove overnight to the city just to watch the competition. Naturally, they wanted to be there in person to watch the Battle of Five Gods between the Sect Master and the Star Luo Empire’s royal family. It would be a stunning show.

They were unfamiliar with the newly appointed Sect Master. They wanted to see for themselves just how powerful this Sect Master was.

“They’re going to send six people as well?” When the Shrek Six Monsters heard the Monster Academy Clan’s reply from Hu Jie, Xie Xie smiled at the news. It was a sly smile.

“If that’s the case, let’s just beat them to a pulp! Let’s return the favor of the beatings they gave us all those years ago.”

Yuanen Yehui glared at him. “Don’t let your guard down. They’re the outstanding ones of Monster Academy, after all. They haven’t slacked off all these years either. I don’t think they’ll be easy prey.”

“Yes, lady boss,” said Xie Xie with a grin.

Yue Zhengyu spoke, “Let’s finish our breakfast quickly. We’ll discuss our battle plan after this. Who’s commanding today?”

Ye Xinglan and Yuanen Yehui exchanged glances. The two ladies raised their hands in tacit agreement and pointed at Xu Xiaoyan.

“Me?” Xu Xiaoyan pointed at her nose. She broke into a smile. “Oh alright. Since the captain isn’t here, I guess I’ll take over.”

Tang Wulin could be regarded as an Assault System and Control System double soul master, whereas Xu Xiaoyan was a pure Control System battle soul master. Usually, a team battle’s commander was a Control System soul master. Not only did they have to shoulder the responsibility of controlling their opponents and teammates, they had to control the entire battlefield as well.

Yue Zhengyu gave Xu Xiaoyan a big thumbs up. He looked extremely confident in her.

There were occasional glances from the patrons at the Tang Sect headquarter’s cafeteria where they were dining currently. A few of them even pointed fingers and whispered behind their backs. The Shrek Six Monsters were too conspicuous. They were the only new faces around.

“Actually, we can also fight seven against seven. Won’t everything be fine if you’d counted me in?” A Ruheng looked at the six of them with a gloomy expression. He was sitting at the same table and had never turned down an opportunity to fight.

Xie Xie said with a smile, “Big brother A, it’s not that we don’t want to fight alongside with you, as this is a matter between Shrek Academy and Monster Academy. It’s best if we take care of it ourselves. If you join in the fray with your powerful moves, they’ll certainly say that we won because of outside help.”

“Are you sure that you’ll win?” came a contemptuous voice all of a sudden.

Xie Xie turned to look. He saw a petite and cute teenage girl.

She was at a neighboring table having her meal. She overheard Xie Xie’s words.

Xie Xie shrugged. “It’s a fact. Why? Are you on their side?”

The teenage girl snorted. “My elder sister and her friends will not lose.” She was Ye Zhi’s younger sister and was also a Tang Sect disciple. Besides, she was also an alumni of the Monster Academy. She had complete faith in the Monster Academy’s Eight Heavenly Kings. When she heard Xie Xie and the others commenting on the upcoming competition without reserve, she was naturally upset. She could not restrain herself.

With Yuanen Yehui around, Xie Xie did not dare to tease her. He gave her a faint smile. “Beauty, the truth will prove everything.”

The young girl snorted. “There’s no way you guys can win against my sister and the others.”

Xie Xie retorted, “Is that the only phrase you know? Fine, I don’t care if we don’t win. Since we can’t win as we’re the weaklings, will you root for us when you watch the competition later?”

The young girl was stunned. She managed to react after a long pause. She grunted angrily and said, “I’ve never met someone as shameless as you. You’ll lose terribly for sure.” After she was done, she left taking the platter with her.

The others could not help but smile. Yue Zhengyu could not refrain from saying, “If you peep at a leopard from a tube, you’ll only see a spot. Besides, they’re also the Tang Sect disciples. Furthermore, the spectators are more familiar with the Tang Sect members. I don’t think there’ll be many cheering for us. This is their home ground. We shouldn’t belittle the home field advantage.”

Xie Xie shrugged. “Lizhi, what do you think?”

Xu Lizhi had been eating voraciously. He pointed at his full mouth to signal that he could not speak.

“Let’s tell the others who the true expert is with our strengths. Aren’t you all Tang Sect disciples? In a place which holds personal heroism with such a high regard, you should display your strengths to earn their respect,” said Sima Jinchi in a deep voice.

If one looked closely enough, one would notice that the Gale Saber Demon’s eyes were filled with excitement. He would not be involved in today’s competition. However, there would be a match which involved the use of weapons in the Battle of Five Gods. He could participate in the match as the Dragon Clan’s power saber. As long as he appeared in his original form, Tang Wulin could wield him in battle. If he had to choose the match in the Battle of Five Gods in which Tang Wulin was most likely to win, it would most probably be the weapons match.

Just as Yue Zhengyu had said, although the fight will be in the Star Luo Empire’s Tang Sect headquarters, those who supported them were few and far between.

In the Star Luo Empire, the Monster Academy was the equivalent of Shrek Academy in the Douluo Federation. Many outstanding personalities graduated from the Monster Academy. It was also the case for the Tang Sect disciples. They were inclined to support the Heavenly Kings Clan from the Monster Academy.

Long Yue’s generation was legendary even in the Monster Academy. There had been no other team like them. A student with a commanding presence like Long Yue was a rare sight which appeared once in a thousand years.

Although Long Yue and the others had lost the final round, almost everyone was of the opinion that they had lost out of negligence, not that they were weaker than Shrek Academy’s students. Evidently, the supporters of the Monster Academy were of the same opinion.

When the Shrek Six Monsters arrived at the Tang Sect headquarter’s gymnasium, its outer fringes were already crowded with people. There were at least five hundred disciples present to watch the competition.

It was a remake of the great battle between the Shrek Seven Monsters and the Monster Academy’s Heavenly Kings Clan. After all these years, they were surely more powerful than they were back then.

The Smiley Face Douluo would referee the competition to prevent any untoward incident.

When the Shrek Six Monsters walked into the building, the din died down immediately.

Had this been a venue with a public audience, there might have been jeers and catcalls. However, this was the Tang Sect which the Shrek Seven Monsters were also a part of. In fact, they were high-ranking officials in the Tang Sect. The current leader of the Shrek Seven Monsters was the Tang Sect’s newly appointed Sect Master.

Hence, the Tang Sect disciples all acted civil. However, being courteous meant one thing, while cheering for the Shrek Six Monsters meant another.

The climate, geography, and human condition were not favorable to them.

The Smiley Face Douluo walked up to meet them. He brought them to one side of the competition stage.

“How’s your preparation? I didn’t expect such a turnout. Practically all the Tang Sect disciples from the three closest cities are here. Well, it’s a good opportunity for them to learn. I’ll leave the rest up to you youngsters.”

“Leave it to us,” Xie Xie said with a smile. “Although it seems that we’re not popular, I believe there’ll be some changes after the competition.”

The Smiley Face Douluo smiled faintly. “I hope so.”

“Where’s Long Yue and the others? Are they here yet?” asked Yue Zhengyu.

He held a deep grudge against Long Yue. Back then, he almost died after being gravely wounded by Long Yue. He had nothing but unpleasant memories of his Mountain Dragon King martial soul.

His current strength could no longer be compared to his strength back then. Nonetheless, he was still traumatized whenever he thought about that match.

“They should be here soon. When they heard that only six of you would go against them, they weren’t too happy about it. This is their home ground, after all. You’ll have to be prepared.” the Smiley Face Douluo was all smiles. He considered himself a spectator for this match. He hoped to see an interesting match and cared less about who won at the end.

Since the youngsters with Tang Wulin were also members of the Shrek Seven Monsters, surely they would be able to hold their own in a fight. Apparently, they only had seven-ring cultivation bases. However, the students of Shrek Academy should not be measured by their soul power rankings alone.

Suddenly, a chorus of cheers erupted.

On the other side of the gymnasium, there was shock at first. Then, the cheers followed. The crowd parted in the middle to make a path.

A group of people walked along the path toward the gymnasium. The person in front had a muscular build with a big, bald head. It was the Mountain Dragon King Long Yue with an air about him which was as steady as a mountain.
