Speaking of this, Bai Yu shook his head, no longer thinking about it. It was still up in the air, so he would deal with it later.
"Let's go. The convoy is about to depart, and we should get on the carriage."
Then, Bai Yu led Zhu Zhuqing and the other two back to the Shrek Team's carriage.
Because this was an unprecedented event, with the finals being held in Spirit City, the Heaven Dou Empire, for the sake of face, spared no expense and specially built fifteen super-large luxury carriages.
Their construction even incorporated some spirit tool technology, maximizing comfort. They were almost comparable to Bai Yu's exclusive mount as a Saint Son, though he had never used it once.
"Bai Yu, among everyone in our academy, your information is the most well-informed. Do you have any intelligence on our opponents for these finals?"
As soon as Bai Yu, Zhu Zhuqing, and the other two returned to the carriage, Yu Xiaogang turned to look at them, asking Bai Yu in his raspy voice.
That's right, Yu Xiaogang was also on the carriage and did not go to Spirit City alone to ask Bibi Dong how to cultivate twin spirits.
Because Yu Xiaogang had realized over the past two years that Tang San was already superficially friendly but inwardly distant, no longer treating him as a teacher.
Since that was the case, there was no need for Yu Xiaogang to risk going to Spirit City for Tang San, and even have to humble himself to beg Bibi Dong.
Anyway, he could cultivate on his own now, and his speed was not slow. As for Tang San, that disciple, he didn't make much difference, so it didn't matter.
Bai Yu heard Yu Xiaogang's question, let out a light breath, sat down on a reclining chair nearby, and said,
"As for information, I do know some, but it's useless. Those you can defeat, you can win without knowing any intelligence."
"And for those you can't defeat, knowing the intelligence is also futile. So let them fight with confidence. With their strength, barring any accidents, a top three finish is secure."
Yu Xiaogang frowned, a little dissatisfied with Bai Yu's perfunctory answer. Just as he was about to ask more detailed questions, Ma Hongjun, that attention-seeker, spoke before him.
"No way, Bai Ge, with our Shrek's strength, is there still a team we can't beat? Which team is it? That amazing?"
"Even the Tianshui Team, if we fought them again, with preparation, I think we could win."
Bai Yu glanced at Ma Hongjun, tapped his finger on the table, and sneered.
"Heh, do you think your strength is very strong? There's a saying you should know: there's always someone better, and there's always a higher heaven."
"But since you're so curious, I'll tell you."
"In the finals of this Spirit Master Tournament, there's one team that is far ahead. Your current strength is simply not enough to contend with them."
When Bai Yu said this, everyone in the carriage looked over, wanting to know what kind of situation this team, far surpassing them, was in.
Bai Yu didn't keep them in suspense and continued to speak softly:
"That team is one of the organizers of this event, the Spirit Hall's team."
"As seven individuals handpicked from the elite of Spirit Hall's Advanced Academy, each one of them is stronger than you."
"Among this team, the two weakest are 49th-level Spirit Ancestors, and the strongest is a 59th-level Spirit King."
"How about it? Do you still think you have a chance to win now?"
After Bai Yu finished speaking, everyone in the carriage opened their mouths wide, their expressions somewhat horrified.
What kind of divine team was this? With this lineup, how could they win? How did Spirit Hall manage to gather all these abnormal individuals?
"No, how old are they? Spirit Hall didn't open a back door and use people over the age limit to participate, did they?"
Ma Hongjun couldn't believe it. What nonsense was this? Where did all those abnormal people come from? This was impossible!
Bai Yu chuckled. To be fair, this Fatty was a bit interesting to come up with such a thought.
"Heh heh, do you think Spirit Hall doesn't care about its reputation? If they were caught cheating in something like this, they would become the laughingstock of the entire continent."
"Don't worry, they definitely aren't over the age limit. In fact, it can be said that for the sake of face, Spirit Hall didn't even reach the upper limit of the age restriction. All seven members of the team are around twenty years old."
Ma Hongjun became withdrawn, shrinking his head and not saying a word. Of course, it wasn't just him; besides Zhu Zhuqing and the other two, the others were also a bit withdrawn.
After all, they had always thought of themselves as geniuses, but after this comparison, they suddenly realized they had become fools.
Especially Tang San, his face was ashen at this moment, his heart filled with anxiety.
Because of his dear father, Tang Hao, he had long considered Spirit Hall an enemy, but now, hearing Bai Yu's words, he felt a bit of despair.
Not to mention those already famous powerhouses, just among the younger generation, a 59th-level Spirit King around twenty years old. How could he possibly catch up?
He was currently only at level 39, fourteen years old. In six years, to reach level 59, at his current cultivation speed, he would have to abandon everything, including his beloved Hidden Weapons, and focus solely on cultivation to even have a chance of catching up.
Moreover, while he was improving, others were also improving and wouldn't stop to wait for him. How could he accept this?
Bai Yu knew what Tang San was thinking just by looking at his face, but he didn't care. Tang San's thoughts would only ever be thoughts in this life.
If you want to turn things around, wait until your Asura father remembers you and gives you a cheat, then we can talk!
As for now, if you don't have the strength, just obediently kneel. I believe that with Bie San's endurance, he can definitely hold on!
Then, Bai Yu's eyes curved, and he comforted the somewhat dispirited Shrek members.
"Hey, cheer up. Although you can't beat the Spirit Hall's team, that's only limited to the Spirit Hall's team."
"If you exclude them, your strength is definitely in the first tier. There are only two or three teams that can contend with you."
"Among them, there isn't a single one that can definitively beat you. So as long as you're careful during the competition, second place is still possible."
Hearing Bai Yu's words, the Shrek members brightened up considerably. Bai Yu was right; they just had some talent, they weren't abnormal, so there was no need to compare themselves to abnormal people!
"Bai Ge, you're right. The Spirit Hall's team is simply too far ahead. We don't need to compare ourselves to them."
"Let's just pretend they don't exist and consider second place as first."
"It's just a pity. I heard that every Spirit Master Tournament, Spirit Hall provides a lot of rewards to the first-place team. We won't be able to get that."
After emerging from their dispirited state, everyone began to discuss, mainly embracing the A Q spirit: if you can't beat them, then just throw out the one you can't beat!
Although this method was a bit self-deceptive, it was quite effective.
