Chapter 217: Shrek Versus Star Luo
Sitting on the judging panel, Bai Yu, who was chatting with Xue Qinghe, chuckled and said somewhat casually:
"Haha, I say, Crown Prince, your Royal Fight Team is about to lose. Is it appropriate for you to watch so leisurely? Aren't you even a little sad?"
Xue Qinghe waved his hand, picked up a dried fruit from the table, threw it into his mouth, and smiled broadly.
"If we lose, we lose. It's their bad luck to draw your team, Brother Bai. What can I do but watch?"
"But then again, the strength of Spirit Hall in this Spirit Master Tournament is truly astonishing. They are indeed Brother Bai's peers; their strength is simply unreasonable."
Bai Yu raised an eyebrow, also picked up a dried fruit, and threw it into his mouth.
"Brother Qinghe is truly open-minded. Oh, right, after the tournament ends, do you want to stay in Spirit City for a few more days?"
"These past few days, neither of us has been free. When we have some leisure time, I can properly host Brother Qinghe."
Upon hearing Bai Yu's words, Xue Qinghe's brows furrowed imperceptibly. He wondered what Bai Yu meant by this. Did someone in Spirit Hall want to see her?
Then, Xue Qinghe laughed heartily and nodded.
"Haha, alright! I haven't had a good look around Spirit City before. Since Brother Bai invites me, I will certainly bother you more then."
Regarding Xue Qinghe's decision, the Heaven Dou ministers sitting behind him had no objections; in fact, they strongly approved.
Although Emperor Xue Ye's health was very poor back in the Empire, and there was a pile of troublesome matters, no matter how urgent, it wouldn't make a difference for these two days.
After all, being able to connect with the Spirit Hall Saint Child was extremely important. Their good relationship would mean Heaven Dou Empire and Spirit Hall were on good terms, wouldn't it?
Didn't they see the faces of the Star Luo people at this moment, which were as dark as a rag, so gloomy that water could be wrung out of them?
After the two chatted for a while, today's matches officially began. The first match was the Spirit Team versus the Royal Fight Team.
This battle, as everyone expected, had no surprises. The Spirit Hall team decisively won the match with overwhelming force.
Although Dugu Yan and her teammates put up a struggle, it was useless. The team's second strongest member, Yu Tianheng, was taken down by Hu Liena's Charm at the very beginning. He didn't even fight and jumped off the stage himself.
Although Dugu Yan reacted quickly and immediately sought out her Nana sister, using the power of her cultivation technique to resist Hu Liena's Charm.
But unfortunately, the remaining members were still unable to hold their own. The strength gap between them and Xie Yue, Yan, and others was too great, and they were all dealt with in a few moves.
As the match between the two teams concluded, today's second match officially began: the Shrek Team versus the Star Luo Team.
"Brother Bai, you stayed at Shrek Academy all the time when you were in Heaven Dou City. You should be quite familiar with them, right?"
"In your opinion, which team, Shrek or Star Luo, has a greater chance of winning?"
Bai Yu glanced at Xue Qinghe, seeing her squinting her eyes and looking at him with a smile, and cursed inwardly.
This scheming fellow was trying to draw the hatred of Star Luo towards him, but it didn't matter. He didn't care. Let alone these few Star Luo ministers, the entire Star Luo Empire was his strategic target.
"Haha, if you ask me, the Shrek Team is still a cut above the Star Luo Team."
"Although Star Luo's Spirit Fusion Skill, Hell White Tiger, is powerful, the Shrek Team also has its own trump card and will not lose to them."
As soon as Bai Yu finished speaking, a Star Luo minister on the other side let out a cold snort and said in an icy tone:
"Hmph, what kind of trump card could this unknown Shrek Team have? They merely rely on the strength of the second young lady of the Zhu family and our Star Luo's Third Prince!"
"I say, Holy Child, the trump card you mentioned, it wouldn't also be the Hell White Tiger, would it?"
Bai Yu's eyes narrowed slightly. Although he had anticipated this scene ever since Xue Qinghe brought up the topic.
But, he had to admit, being directly challenged like that still made him quite unhappy.
"Heh, my lord, while your Star Luo's Hell White Tiger looks decent, it's actually just so-so."
"Taking the other five teams participating in today's competition, each team has the ability to deal with that Hell White Tiger. So, please do not think your Spirit Fusion Skill is very powerful."
The Star Luo minister's eyebrows stood on end, and the corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably. He felt that Bai Yu was belittling the famous ultimate skill of the Star Luo Imperial Family.
But if he were to refute on the spot and describe the power of the Hell White Tiger to Bai Yu, he felt it would be like a common shrew, somewhat demeaning.
Finally, he could only flick his sleeve and say coldly:
"Since the Holy Child believes the Hell White Tiger is nothing special, then we shall wait and see."
While Bai Yu and the Star Luo minister were arguing, the members of both the Shrek and Star Luo Teams were already standing on the arena.
Because all the team members knew the relationship between the two sides, they did not start fighting as soon as they got on stage. They all gave their respective captains time for some trash talk.
"Mubai, long time no see. I didn't expect you to make it this far. It seems that letting you run away back then was indeed my mistake."
"Unfortunately, you are not old enough, and Father watches me too closely. Otherwise, I wouldn't have given you any chance."
Dai Weisi looked at Dai Mubai opposite him, his expression slightly cold. Only a few years had passed, yet this younger brother was actually capable of standing before him. It truly made him regret his past actions.
If he had known this earlier, he shouldn't have considered his father's thoughts and given him time. He should have directly crushed Dai Mubai instead.
Dai Mubai's expression was also gloomy at this moment. He looked at Dai Weisi, his face full of killing intent. To defeat his older brother, he had even given up a man's last dignity.
"Dai Weisi, it's too late for you to regret now. I am no longer the subservient Dai Mubai from a few years ago. It's still uncertain who will inherit that position in the future!"
Upon hearing Dai Mubai's words, the coldness on Dai Weisi's face deepened.
"Heh, that useless playboy from back then has actually become tough? Then let me see what skills you've learned out there all these years."
Saying this, Dai Weisi turned his gaze to Zhu Zhuqing, his eyes showing strong apprehension.
"Speaking of which, Dai Mubai, your confidence wouldn't come from Zhuqing, would it? Did she run out of Star Luo City just to find you?"
"However, Zhuqing, your strength truly surprises me, but even so, you may not necessarily win."
As soon as Dai Weisi finished speaking, Zhu Zhuqing immediately frowned and said coldly:
"Dai Weisi, your affairs are for you to resolve. They have nothing to do with me. Do not drag me into it, lest you invite trouble upon yourself."
