Chapter 230: Shrek's Glory? It's Too Much of an Eyesore.
[In the lottery ceremony this time, according to the rules, Ma Xiaotao was supposed to go up and draw lots, as she is the captain of the Shrek team.]
[However, Xuan Zi volunteered instead.]
[What his purpose in volunteering was remains unknown.]
[Since Xuan Zi himself volunteered, Ma Xiaotao and the others naturally could not refuse him for such a small matter as drawing lots.]
[So the picture that emerged at this moment was as follows.]
[After hearing the referee shout, "Shrek team representative, please come on stage to draw lots," Xuan Zi walked toward the stage with a proud look on his face.]
[The people present also gave Shrek a lot of respect.]
[You could even say that they admired Shrek greatly!]
[So when Xuan Zi, the representative of the Shrek team, walked onto the stage to draw lots, the entire venue suddenly erupted with excitement.]
["Shrek! Shrek! Shrek! Shrek! Shrek!"]
[The cheers were deafening.]
[Amidst such loud cheers, Xuan Zi finally reached the stage.]
[At that moment, the pride on his face seemed to intensify.]
[Then, in full view of the crowd, he stretched out his thin palm and reached into the lottery bucket.]
[He quickly drew a lot and handed it to the referee, who announced on the spot that the Shrek team had drawn the tenth number.]
[This also meant that if other teams drew the tenth number, they would face the Shrek team in the tenth match.]
[Xuan Zi finally walked back to the team amid the cheers of the crowd.]
[However, it seemed that he was affected by the crowd's energy; at this moment, he was overwhelmed with emotion and couldn't stop smiling.]
[Upon returning to the team, he made sure to remind Xiao Xiao and the other reserve team members who were participating in the Soul Master Competition for the first time: "Kids, did you see this? This is the glory of our Shrek Academy!"]
["Because of this glory, all of us from Shrek Academy will be treated as honored guests wherever we go."]
["And this is precisely what our countless predecessors at Shrek Academy have won for you."]
["So everyone must protect this glory, no matter what!"]
[After listening to Xuan Zi's words, all the members of the Shrek team nodded repeatedly.]
[Dai Huabin, standing nearby, took the initiative to ask: "Elder Xuan, if that's the case, then if the Sun Moon team draws number 10, we can meet them in the first round, right?"]
[He had always wanted to seek revenge on Huo Yuhao.]
[Now, defeating Huo Yuhao on the grand stage of the Soul Master Competition and making him lose face was Dai Huabin's greatest wish.]
[He hoped to meet the Sun Moon Imperial Team in the first round and eliminate them on the spot!]
["Yeah. If we can draw them!"]
[Upon hearing Dai Huabin's words, Xuan Zi's face darkened.]
[The truth is, love can turn to hate.]
[How much he had admired Huo Yuhao before, now translated to how much he detested him. Especially after what happened yesterday, Xuan Zi wanted nothing more than to see Huo Yuhao suffer!]
[Xuan Zi was similarly eager to meet the Sun Moon Imperial Team directly in the first round and eliminate them at once.]
[This way, Huo Yuhao could understand how foolish his choice had been.]
[Ma Xiaotao, beside him, said to Xuan Zi: "Master Xuan, can't you do something? Maybe let them draw number 10?"]
[Xuan Zi sighed: "How can it be that easy? There are so many people watching, and there are also soul guidance devices monitoring. It's impossible."]
[Ma Xiaotao sighed in disappointment: "That's a pity."]
[Everyone quickly ceased their discussions on this matter and began to wait.]
[While they waited like this, it didn't take long before Ma Rulong came on stage to draw lots on behalf of the Sun Moon Imperial Team.]
[As soon as Ma Rulong came on stage, Xuan Zi, Dai Huabin, Ma Xiaotao, and the others looked on with solemn expressions.]
[They all hoped Ma Rulong would draw the number 10 because that would mean they could teach Huo Yuhao a lesson.]
[But in the end, Ma Rulong drew number 3.]
["Hmph! What bad luck. They just dodged us," Dai Huabin scoffed upon hearing this.]
[Xuan Zi added: "Don't worry; we will meet them sooner or later. When that time comes, we'll teach them a lesson."]
[Ma Xiaotao nodded to Xuan Zi upon hearing this.]
At this moment, in the gap between the planes, a group of soul masters couldn't help but start discussing the events they had witnessed on the screen.
"No way! Does Xuan Zi from this parallel world think they will win?"
"They don't treat Huo Yuhao from the parallel world like a human being!"
"However, they don't seem to realize that Huo Yuhao from the parallel world is already a six-ringed soul emperor, right? I wonder what their expressions will be when they see him show his strength."
"No, they seem to have received the news before but just don't believe it. Regardless, when they see Huo Yuhao display his power, they will be shocked."
On the other side, Jing Hongchen began to ask Kong Deming, "Mr. Kong, who do you think will win the battle between the Shrek team from this parallel world and the Sun Moon team?"
Kong Deming exhaled, "It's hard to say."
"Didn't we fight before? On our side, the Shrek team suffered heavy losses, but in the end, they still won with some remaining troops."
"And now, the Shrek Academy in the parallel world doesn't have all its members."
Jing Hongchen inquired, "So you mean that Shrek has a higher chance of winning?"
Kong Deming shook his head. "That's not the case. If there were no Huo Yuhao in the parallel world, Shrek would win without a doubt."
"But now there's another Huo Yuhao in the parallel world, right? I feel his strength is greater than Ma Xiaotao's. So if they fight, it's difficult to predict the outcome. We can only wait and see."
Jing Hongchen nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, Qian Renxue also posed the same question to Bibi Dong: "Mother, who do you think will win this match?"
Bibi Dong smiled and replied, "It's hard to say who will win, but I support Huo Yuhao from the parallel world."
"I support anyone who opposes Shrek and anyone who opposes Tang San."
"Besides, don't you think the glory of Shrek Academy is just too annoying?"
"I want to smash this damn glory!"
