What if? What if one of the strong teams falters? Wouldn't they have a chance then?
At this moment, all the participants had firm eyes, after all, the soul bone was right in front of them, and they had to do their best no matter what.
Even if you know you're not strong enough and it's hard to make it into the top three, you'll regret it for the rest of your life if you don't give it your all.
Compared to the excitement of the other teams, the Shrek team seemed quite different at this moment. Everyone stared blankly at the judges' panel, speechless.
"Hiss! That kid Bai is actually the Holy Son of Spirit Hall? No wonder, no wonder he knew about it all along. Spirit Hall's reward is a soul bone. It turns out they're the ones who provide everything. It would be strange if he didn't know that!"
"But it's strange, really. How could he, as the Holy Son of Spirit Hall, end up as a student at my Shrek Academy?"
"Back then, my academy was a complete sham. Apart from those two bastards, Ma Hongjun and Oscar, there wasn't a single decent student."
Flender looked shocked and gasped. He simply couldn't understand Bai Yu's choice.
After Flender spoke, everyone else snapped out of their daze. Ma Hongjun then raised his hand and waved excitedly, saying:
"Old man, why do you care so much? It doesn't matter what Brother Bai thinks, the important thing is that he is our senior brother!"
"With this connection, can't we also use his status as the Holy Son to act arrogantly and domineeringly in Spirit City?"
(TL: honestly putting aside one of them is a pervert and the other potentially a womanizer or hypocrite (depends on the statements hes made in the series and how you interpret them) only hongjun and Oscar have any potential to be allies if it all possible)
"Smack!"
Before Ma Hongjun could even fantasize about his wonderful future, he was immediately hit hard by Flender, who made him squat down with his hands on his head and rub him wildly.
"You're so spineless! Is this how you use favors?"
"But then again, shouldn't he be the only Holy Son of Spirit Hall? Why would he go out to train on his own?"
Then Flender turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing and the other two, and asked hesitantly:
"The three of you should have known his identity long ago, right? But do you know what his status is in the Spirit Hall?"
Zhu Zhuqing and the other two exchanged glances, a smile appearing on their faces.
"Dean, don't overthink it. Bai Yu's position in Spirit Hall is unshakeable. Not to mention the Papal Palace, he can even command the Elders' Palace."
"As for why he was running around outside alone before, it's because he had sneaked out in the first place, so naturally there was no one with him."
Ning Rongrong shrugged and said with a smile.
Thinking back to when Hu Liena told them about Bai Yu's childhood, they couldn't help but laugh.
Upon hearing Ning Rongrong say that Bai Yu had sneaked out, everyone's expressions froze again. It was truly incomprehensible that a perfectly good Holy Son would give up his post to suffer outside.
However, what Bai Yu thought was none of their business. All they knew was that their network of connections would now include a Holy Son of Spirit Hall, which was a wonderful thing!
But as the saying goes, human joys and sorrows are not shared. Compared to the laughter and merriment of others, Tang San was pale and found their noise unbearable.
The moment Bai Yu took the stage to proclaim himself the Holy Son of Spirit Hall, Tang San felt as if the sky had fallen!
Why? Why is this happening? His father already had a grudge against Bai Yu and Spirit Hall, but now that the two enemies have become one, he is not happy at all.
Because Bai Yu knows him inside and out, and Bai Yu has such a powerful force behind him, it would be difficult for him to hide.
He's weak now, and Bai Yu doesn't bother with him. But what if he becomes stronger one day? Will he be easily crushed to death?
Thinking of this, Tang San even considered severing ties with his father!
If it weren't for his father Tang Hao, wouldn't he be just like Ma Hongjun and the others, feeling excited because he has a senior brother who is a holy son?
Why be so fearful and anxious, worried that you might be buried one day?
Tang San finished the day's match in this dazed state, and didn't say a word until he returned to his hotel.
"Bai Yu, I'm here! Aunt Shuang said you have a gift for me, what is it? Also, you looked so impressive standing on the judging panel today!"
After the competition ended, Shui Yue'er immediately ran to Bai Yu, hugged his arm, and chattered incessantly.
Bai Yu looked at Shui Yue'er, whose eyes were sparkling, and smiled slightly, saying:
"This is something good that can enhance your strength. Let's go find a quiet place so you can absorb it."
"oh!"
Upon hearing that it would improve her strength, Shui Yue'er was neither unhappy nor particularly excited, because she herself did not have a strong desire for power.
Bai Yu shook his head helplessly at Shui Yue'er's reaction. This girl really doesn't know how lucky she is.
However, Bai Yu didn't say much. After all, it was good to have such innocence. Then he took Shui Yue'er to a quiet room and prepared to let her absorb the immortal herb.
"This item is a Celestial Grade Snow Silkworm. Although it doesn't quite match your Martial Soul, its attributes are barely suitable."
"Moreover, this immortal herb is mainly used to increase soul power and nourish the physical body, so there will be no conflict if you use it."
Bai Yu took out a jade box and handed it to Shui Yue'er.
After Shui Yue'er opened the jade box, she suddenly leaned back, a troubled look on her face, and said hesitantly:
"Um... Bai Yu, these snow silkworms, they're not for eating, are they?"
She looked into the box at the thing that looked like a milky white caterpillar and shuddered involuntarily.
Upon hearing Shui Yue'er's question, Bai Yu scratched the corner of his mouth and nodded with a wandering gaze.
Shui Yue'er stared blankly at Bai Yu in disbelief. Then, with lightning speed, she closed the jade box and pushed it in front of Bai Yu.
"Bai Yu, I appreciate your kindness, but the gift isn't important. What I like is you as a person. Oh, right, I just remembered that Bing'er needed to talk to me earlier, so I'll head back now!"
After Shui Yue'er finished speaking, she immediately got up and ran away. She felt that it was too dangerous to be alone with Bai Yu, who actually wanted to feed her insects!
But as soon as she stood up, Bai Yu grabbed her and pulled her into his arms. Then, Bai Yu held Shui Yue'er with one hand and took out the snow silkworm with the other.
"Heh... cough cough, don't be so scared. This isn't an insect, it's a plant, an Immortal herb, it just doesn't look very pretty."
"Come, close your eyes and open your mouth. If you swallow this snow silkworm, you will refine it instantly, and your soul power will surpass your sister's, making you a great master of the Soul Ancestor realm!"
Shui Yue'er shook her head repeatedly, her eyes filled with terror. In her imagination, being held in Bai Yu's arms was a very happy thing.
But she was wrong, terribly wrong. She now felt that this warm embrace was a cage stronger than steel!
