A moment later, after Liu Erlong's introduction and invitation, Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue), Xue Ke, and Tang Yuehua's group of three also boarded the Shrek Academy's carriage.
When Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) heard Liu Erlong introduce that Shrek Academy was divided into two teams, she deliberately showed a surprised expression on her face.
"So, this time for the Elite Competition, your academy will have two teams participating?" Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) asked.
"Yes."
"The main reason is that this time, there are simply too many students from our Shrek Academy who can participate in the Elite Competition.
If we don't divide into two teams, many students would only be able to participate three or four times, which isn't fair to them."
Liu Erlong still used this excuse to respond.
"That's true.
Normally, one team has seven main members and three reserves.
You clearly have an overabundance of members here."
Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) scanned the people in the carriage and nodded in agreement.
"Oh, right."
"Shen Gongzi."
"Just now, Dean Ice dragon king only brought you alone to get off the carriage to pick us up.
It seems you are highly valued by Dean Ice dragon king."
At this moment, Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) subtly shifted the topic to Shen Fan.
"Well,"
"It should be because of my high cultivation talent.
Dean Ice dragon king probably cherishes talent."
Shen Fan glanced at Liu Erlong and casually bluffed.
"I see."
"Then, may I ask, what is your Spirit, Shen Gongzi?"
"And what is your current spirit power level?"
Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) looked enlightened, then curiously inquired about Shen Fan's basic information.
"My Spirit is the Super Holy Bible."
"As for my current spirit power level, it's forty-six."
Shen Fan felt it was time to raise his level by one.
"What?"
"You're already level forty-six?"
Upon hearing Shen Fan say he was already level forty-six, before anyone else could react, Yu Xiaogang, who had been sitting beside them with a cold expression and not speaking, was the first to jump out, the joy in his eyes deepening by several points.
"Yes."
"I'm level forty-six, is there a problem?" Shen Fan said.
"Of course there's no problem."
"I just think that with your current age, if you could have a good teacher to meticulously nurture you, it's estimated that in ten or twenty years, Clear Sky Douluo's achievement of being the youngest Titled Douluo will fall upon you.
I'm very confident about this."
Yu Xiaogang's words, both explicit and implicit, conveyed one meaning to Shen Fan: You currently lack a good teacher, and he, Yu Xiaogang, is the most suitable good teacher for Shen Fan.
"Tang Hao?"
"The youngest Titled Douluo achievement?"
"Hehe."
"Based on the information I've observed, Tang Hao's achievement of being the youngest Titled Douluo was completely exaggerated."
With Shen Fan's understanding of Yu Xiaogang, he naturally heard the hidden meaning in Yu Xiaogang's words, but compared to bickering with Yu Xiaogang, Shen Fan was more unwilling to miss the opportunity Yu Xiaogang personally handed over to mock Tang Hao.
"What do you mean?"
"You're saying my father's reputation was exaggerated?"
"Do you have proof?"
Tang San was already dissatisfied with Yu Xiaogang saying that Shen Fan could surpass his father's achievements.
Now, hearing Shen Fan belittle his father so much, he immediately questioned with a gloomy expression, almost shouting, "You are courting death!"
"Proof?"
"I remember, your father, Tang Hao, only became a Titled Douluo when he was in his forties, right?"
"Do you know that the current Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong of Spirit Hall was much, much younger than Tang Hao when she became a Titled Douluo?"
"It's just that Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong is relatively low-key and doesn't care about such empty fame, which is why she didn't expose Tang Hao."
With Xiao Wu and a few others discussing Tang San's affairs during their casual meal chats, Shen Fan wasn't surprised that Tang San knew some things about Tang Hao.
"Spirit Hall?"
"Supreme Pontiff?"
"Bibi Dong?"
"Shen Fan, you praise Spirit Hall so much, could it be that you're from Spirit Hall?" Tang San's eyes narrowed slightly.
"If I were from Spirit Hall, how could I possibly come to Shrek Academy to study?" Shen Fan looked at Tang San as if he were looking at an idiot.
"Hmph."
"You'd better be telling the truth."
"Spirit Hall has committed countless evil deeds.
It can be said that everyone has the right to punish them.
If you are from Spirit Hall, you will definitely not have a good end."
Tang San was somewhat annoyed by Shen Fan's gaze, so he snorted coldly and warned faintly.
"You say Spirit Hall has committed countless evil deeds?"
"You say everyone has the right to punish Spirit Hall?" Upon hearing this, Shen Fan's tone was full of disbelief.
"Did I say something wrong?"
In Tang San's mind, all the people in the carriage now were from the Heaven Dou Empire, some even prominent figures from the Heaven Dou Empire.
In their hearts, they must all favor the Heaven Dou Empire and despise Spirit Hall, which was why he had so unreservedly attacked Spirit Hall earlier.
"Whether what you said is right or wrong, let's not discuss that for now."
"I only ask you: Have you ever received Spirit Master subsidies from Spirit Hall?"
Tang San wanted to be scolded, and Shen Fan certainly wouldn't disappoint him.
"I have."
"But those subsidies were paid by the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire; Spirit Hall merely distributed them."
Tang San knew he couldn't hide it and didn't intend to, as what he said was the truth.
"Money from the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire?"
"Crown Prince is right here now; you can ask him.
If Spirit Hall hadn't forced the two Empires to provide money to subsidize those rogue Spirit Masters, would the Heaven Dou Empire have given subsidies to those rogue Spirit Masters?" Shen Fan said disdainfully.
"No."
As Shen Fan's words fell, Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue), who was sitting nearby watching the show, gave the answer without a second's hesitation.
"This..."
"I just said it."
"The subsidies for rogue Spirit Masters were forcibly taken by Spirit Hall from the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire."
"Why does Spirit Hall have the right to do this?"
"Just because Spirit Hall is stronger than Heaven Dou and Star Luo?"
"If so, what's the difference between Spirit Hall and those bandits?"
"Don't think that by using the excuse of helping others to do evil deeds, your actions cease to be evil."
Tang San hadn't expected that after he spoke up for the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe, the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, would immediately sell him out.
He paused, then quickly attacked Spirit Hall from another angle.
"Tang San."
"I am truly utterly impressed by your shamelessness."
"Even a dog knows to wag its tail for whoever feeds it."
"As a human, do you not even understand such a simple principle?"
"Or rather, are you actually worse than a dog?"
Still, the same point: Tang San has too many flaws.
No matter how he argued, Shen Fan could easily refute him.
