Sun Buyu led the three of them into the Education Committee hall.
Now that Qin Ming had been dismissed, he had become the lead teacher for both teams.
Even though he had taken over a mess, as a teacher, it was his responsibility to actively handle the relationships between the students.
Seeing the three of them, Meng Shenji's expression eased slightly. He waved his hand and said, "Tianheng, you're the captain. Set an example and apologize to Wu Qi and Changkong."
Yu Tianheng gave a bitter smile and stepped forward.
Yesterday, he had acted on impulse, causing the situation to spiral out of control. He should bear the main responsibility.
He couldn't avoid it either, too many eyes from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were on him.
Yu Yuanzhen had already said that the position of Young Sect Master would be decided between him and Yu Tianxin. If he handled things improperly, it would leave a stain on his record.
Before he could speak, Dugu Yan said with resentment, "Chief Meng Shenji, why should Tianheng apologize?"
"They didn't hold back during the match. Yufeng and Oslo were nearly killed by them."
"If Tianheng hadn't stepped in to stop it in time, the academy would probably be preparing their funerals right now!"
"Our Royal Team doesn't cause trouble, but if our teammates are bullied, we won't just stand by and do nothing."
She could give Meng Shenji face and accept being reprimanded, but that didn't mean she would show the same respect to Wu Qi and the others.
Apologize? Absolutely impossible.
After Ye Lingling's treatment last night, aside from some remaining bruises, Yufeng and Oslo were already fine.
Seeing someone speak up for him, Oslo pointed at the bruise on his forehead and said pitifully, "Chief Meng Shenji, and the two committee members, you have to stand up for me and Xiaoniao."
"Look at this injury, I'm still feeling dizzy even now."
Ning Rongrong sneered. "What a shameless attempt to twist the truth."
Yesterday, she and Sword Douluo had arrived at the match early.
With Chen Xin deliberately concealing his aura, no one noticed their presence.
She had seen everything that happened on the arena.
Yufeng and Oslo were acting like immature children, causing trouble, getting beaten, and then running back crying for help.
Zhilin shouted sternly, "Who are you putting on this pathetic act for!?"
"You are Spirit Masters, young Spirit Masters, not children who haven't even awakened their Spirit Rings!"
"You were the ones who initiated the match. What now? Lost the fight and trying to win it back by playing the victim?"
The academy encouraged sparring between students. Losing a match wasn't a big deal—find your shortcomings, improve your strength, and win next time.
But Oslo's behavior clearly showed he was trying to use the pressure of elders to regain face.
That was not the behavior of a mature Spirit Master. If this precedent were set, the academy would rot from the inside out.
Dugu Yan crossed her arms, refusing to back down. "If we've brought disgrace to the academy, that's our fault, we admit it. But this matter didn't start because of us. An apology is out of the question."
Meng Shenji felt a headache coming on.
Behind Dugu Yan stood Dugu Bo. As the only family member of a Title Douluo, who would dare act against her?
But Changkong didn't care about her background. Who didn't have a powerful grandfather?
And he had seven grandfathers powerful enough to shake the continent.
"Hey! Then let me spell it out for you clearly."
"Originally, Yu Tianheng discussed things with Brother Wu. It was just a normal spar, and Brother Wu didn't even pursue the matter of the Shi brothers interfering. It should've ended there."
"But you launched a sneak attack from the shadows. To protect himself, Brother Wu had no choice but to rise rapidly into the air, and the resulting airflow blew your poison mist away."
"And then what? You're so useless you can't even handle your own poison. Judging by you, that poison from your Spirit must already be in your bones, right?"
"I was being generous, thinking you're short-lived and not worth arguing with. But now you're pushing it, aren't you?"
Though it was spoken as an insult, he had inadvertently pointed out the fundamental flaw of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Spirit.
Wu Qi couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. If Dugu Bo heard those words, it would likely cause serious trouble.
Changkong had no idea about the special place Dugu Bo possessed, nor did he know the effects of immortal herbs.
At that moment, Wu Qi prepared for the worst.
If Dugu Bo took issue with Changkong over these words and considering his existing grudge with the Spirit Hall, then in the future, they might have no choice but to have the Worship elders seize the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well by force.
If it came to that, Dugu Bo couldn't be left alive.
Of course, that was the worst-case scenario. If there was a chance to win Dugu Bo over, Wu Qi would never choose that path.
Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan were in a romantic relationship. Regardless of his personal thoughts, he would stand by her side at this moment.
For a time, the Education Committee hall turned into a full-blown war of words.
Changkong and Ning Rongrong showed no restraint, with the two of them taking on all four members of the Royal Team without falling behind.
For the three committee members, both sides had powerful backgrounds, they simply couldn't afford to offend either.
Seeing that things were about to turn physical, Meng Shenji helplessly signaled to Sun Buyu.
The latter understood immediately and slammed his hand heavily on the table.
"Enough! You are all Spirit Masters, not street shrews. What kind of behavior is this, arguing and shouting here? Do you have any respect for the three of us? Any respect at all for authority!?"
After the sharp reprimand, both sides turned away in unison, no longer paying attention to each other.
Meng Shenji had originally planned to place Wu Qi and the others into the same team, but judging by the current situation, even if they were willing, Yu Tianheng and his group might not accept them.
"Xiao Wu, the three of you stay. Everyone else, get back to training. If any more conflicts arise between you, go answer for it yourselves!"
Wu Qi's earlier performance had been clearly observed by the three committee members.
Even when his own interests were involved, he remained calm and composed, such a mindset was truly rare.
Compared to Yu Tianheng, who tended to act on impulse, Wu Qi seemed more suitable to serve as the captain of the Royal Team and represent them.
Yu Tianheng couldn't be removed, so letting Wu Qi independently manage and form a second team seemed like a good option.
Meng Shenji said with a bitter smile, "Xiao Wu, don't take this to heart. Tianheng and the others are all talented, but their pride is too great. It puts us in a difficult position as well."
Wu Qi understood this very well.
In the original timeline, wasn't the Royal Team's defeat against Shrek Team caused by Yu Tianheng's arrogance?
Tang San's hidden weapons were indeed powerful, but if they had taken their opponents seriously from the beginning, the loss wouldn't have been so severe.
Now, the conflict with Dugu Yan and her group had completely escalated. All that remained was to wait for Dugu Bo to appear.
"Xiao Wu, regarding the formation of your team, do you have any ideas? If you have your eye on students from other academies, I still have some influence, I can help bring them in."
Wu Qi understood that Meng Shenji was indirectly offering him benefits.
After all, he and Changkong had only been at the academy for a short time and had no real attachment to it.
If this incident caused them to leave, it would be a significant loss for the academy.
As for recruiting the Huo siblings, Wu Qi did not plan to involve the academy.
He wasn't just trying to recruit them, he also wanted to win over the family behind them.
