Chapter 188: Flender: Damn Yu Xiaogang, Who Do You Think You're Threatening?
The moment he heard that Lin Qingmo was going to drop out with Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong, Flender was completely stunned.
What kind of person was Lin Qingmo?
A monster-level genius!
If he left and even took Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong with him!
The most critical one was Ning Rongrong, the young miss of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the future successor of the sect!
If she suffered any grievance at Shrek and went back, would her father, Ning Fengzhi, let him off?
With just a flick of his finger, Shrek would be forced to disband on the spot!
Not to mention that the Continental Soul Master Tournament was only a little over a year away.
The Shrek team would suddenly be missing four members.
With only Tang San, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun left, they couldn't even meet the minimum number of participants. What kind of tournament could they even compete in?
Wasn't he counting on this tournament to turn things around?
If Lin Qingmo and the other three left, everything would be finished!
Flender's mind buzzed. He no longer cared about face or dignity.
In a single stride, he rushed forward and stretched out his hand to block Lin Qingmo.
"Qingmo, don't be impulsive! We can talk things out! It's all a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!"
His face was full of smiles, smiling like a blooming flower, his waist bent so low it was almost touching the ground.
"Xiaogang just spoke in haste and said the wrong thing. Don't take it to heart."
"If there's anything you're dissatisfied with, just say it. Whatever needs to be changed, we'll change it. The academy is your home. However you want it, we'll do it!"
Zhao Wuji also hurriedly came forward to support him.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"Qingmo, let's talk things out properly. Why withdraw? Whatever conflict there is, just clear it up. Won't that solve everything?"
Lin Qingmo smiled faintly. "I don't think there's anything to talk about."
Just a mere Shrek.
"..."
Tang San and Dai Mubai had just been looking pleased moments ago.
Now their faces turned green and ugly, completely panicking.
They only wanted to drive Lin Qingmo away. They never imagined Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing would actually follow him!
Tang San rushed forward anxiously, reaching to grab Xiao Wu's arm. "Xiao Wu! Stop messing around! Come back!"
"Have you forgotten our agreement? We are the Shrek Seven Devils. We were supposed to win the championship together. How can you just leave like this?"
Xiao Wu took a step back, hiding behind Lin Qingmo.
Her gaze toward Tang San was full of disgust.
"Who has any agreement with you? Tang San, can you stop being so disgusting?"
"I've long been sick of your fake attitude. Ah Qing is ten thousand times better than you. Wherever he goes, I go. What does it have to do with you?"
Dai Mubai also quickly walked up to Zhu Zhuqing, frowning, his tone stiff. "Zhuqing, stop throwing a tantrum. Why are you joining in this nonsense with him?"
Zhu Zhuqing directly sidestepped, her eyes cold enough to freeze someone to death, staring at him word by word. "Dai Mubai, who do you think you are?"
"Where I go and whom I go with has nothing to do with you."
The two girls refused to budge.
Tsk tsk, everything had completely fallen apart.
Lin Qingmo watched the drama unfold with great enjoyment.
So his charm was this great?
Tang San and Dai Mubai trembled with anger, yet they had no way to deal with it.
Seeing this scene, Yu Xiaogang's heart sank straight to the bottom.
He understood better than anyone that the Soul Master Tournament was a team battle. Relying on Tang San alone to win the championship?
If the team fell apart, all his dreams would be shattered!
He took a deep breath, suppressing his panic.
Yu Xiaogang put on a stern face and said in a deep voice to the four of them, "Why are you being so impulsive?"
"The tournament is about to begin. What's needed is a team with good coordination. If you leave Shrek, where else can you go?"
In his eyes, they were ultimately just twelve-year-old children.
But just as his words fell, Dugu Yan, who had been standing nearby, stepped forward and stood beside Lin Qingmo.
Looking at Yu Xiaogang, her face full of disdain, she directly mocked, "Heh, how ridiculous. A genius like Azure Star can go anywhere he wants."
"If Shrek doesn't take him, our Heaven Dou Royal Academy will!"
"Not just participating. Even forming a separate team for him, with our academy's qualifications, is completely possible!
Ning Rongrong immediately echoed her, chin raised proudly. "Exactly! My father has a good relationship with the Heaven Dou royal family."
"If we want to go to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, who would dare say no?"
The two of them worked together, completely crushing Yu Xiaogang's so-called threat.
Flender was sweating profusely as he spread his arms to block them. "No, no, no!"
"Rongrong, Xiao Wu, Zhuqing, Qingmo, let's talk this out!"
"We're all on the same side. Whatever the conflict is, let's sit down and resolve it slowly, alright? I'm begging you!"
He really wanted to shut Yu Xiaogang's mouth.
Whom were they dealing with?
The princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the granddaughter of the Poison Douluo. Was that someone he could threaten?
At this moment, Qin Ming, who had been silent, suddenly stepped forward.
He was a graduate of Shrek and naturally leaned toward Shrek in his heart.
Seeing Lin Qingmo and the others showing such disrespect to teachers, Qin Ming was also quite displeased.
Adjusting his glasses, he looked at Lin Qingmo seriously and said in a deep voice, "This student, I am Qin Ming, a teacher of Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
"I must make it clear to you that Heaven Dou Royal Academy will absolutely not accept a student like you, who casually betrays his academy, lacks any sense of collective honor, and even attacks fellow students."
"Even if you want to come, I will never agree to let you join the Royal Fighting Team for the competition. Give up on that idea."
He thought his words sounded quite firm.
With his identity as the leading teacher of the Royal Fighting Team, this single sentence should be enough to block Lin Qingmo's path forward.
But he never expected that the moment he finished speaking, the surrounding air turned cold.
A chilling, bone-piercing aura surged in from all directions without warning.
A terrifying pressure pressed down heavily on everyone.
Except for Lin Qingmo's group, everyone else's faces instantly turned pale.
A sinister voice slowly echoed through the corridor.
"Oh? Since when did the matters of the Royal Fighting Team fall under the authority of a mere Soul Emperor like you?"
As soon as the words fell, a green figure appeared out of thin air before everyone.
Green hair, green eyes, wearing a loose green robe, with faint green mist lingering around his body.
Poison Douluo Dugu Bo!
"Grandpa!"
Seeing the arrival, Dugu Yan's eyes lit up. She immediately rushed over and grabbed Dugu Bo's arm.
Her previously arrogant demeanor instantly softened.
"Grandpa, why are you here?"
Dugu Yan asked in a confused, coquettish tone.
The coldness on Dugu Bo's face instantly disappeared, replaced by a kindly expression.
"Grandpa came to see my precious granddaughter."
He reached out and gently patted Dugu Yan's head, his tone extremely gentle. "Yanyan, tell Grandpa, who bullied my precious granddaughter? Just tell me, and Grandpa will twist his head off and let you use it as a ball."
After saying that, he subtly glanced toward Lin Qingmo's direction.
In truth, he had arrived long ago and had been observing everything happening here.
Seeing that Lin Qingmo showed no displeasure at his appearance, he also let out a sigh of relief.
As soon as these words came out,
Flender, Zhao Wuji, Yu Xiaogang, and Qin Ming all felt their hearts tighten, sensing something was very wrong.
Cold sweat instantly soaked their backs.
A Titled Douluo!
And not just any, but the infamous Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, known for killing without blinking and holding grudges to the extreme!
This was a ruthless figure who even dared to provoke Spirit Hall.
In his eyes, what were they? No different from ants that could be crushed at will.
Ma Hongjun had just opened his mouth to say something, but Flender shot him a fierce glare.
Frightened, he immediately shrank to the back of the crowd, not daring to breathe loudly.
Flender quickly bent his waist, his face full of flattering smiles, his voice trembling. "G-Greetings, Your Excellency Poison Douluo! We were unaware of your arrival and failed to welcome you. Please forgive us!"
He was truly panicking.
He never expected Poison Douluo to appear here.
Fortunately, they had no conflict with Dugu Yan, and their discussion had always been about Lin Qingmo.
