"What is Shrek doing?!"
In the Xingluo Palace, Xu Jiawei looked at the latest list of registered contestants, his brows furrowed, and there was a look of sullenness in his eyes.
"A Soul Emperor who can't play in the first half of the game plus two Soul Kings, one of whom has just reached level 50, and more than half of the rest are Soul Lords?"
"Did they bring two reserve teams over?"
The minister who came to submit the list knew something was wrong, but fortunately he had already expected it.
"Your Majesty, to be precise, there is a reserve team and a sightseeing team. There are only two regular members. The Soul King named He was temporarily drawn from Shrek."
Xu Jiawei said in a deep voice: "Shrek is trying to refute our Star Luo Empire's reputation and deliberately embarrass me? I, Xu Jiawei, have not offended them, right? Besides, do they not intend to continue to defend their family's ten thousand-year glory?"
"And I, Xu Jiawei, also went to Shrek under a pseudonym to study. Even if they don't care about this teacher-student relationship, they still have to give me some bad treatment from the Star Luo Empire, right?"
The minister withstood Xu Jiawei's clouded face and malicious words, and said without changing his expression:
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Shrek did have a reason for what happened this time. An elder from the Poseidon Pavilion came to explain the situation to us in person."
"Everything happens for a reason?"
Xu Jiawei felt a little funny.
"What is the reason that Shrek's two soul emperors and five soul kings shrunk into one soul emperor and two soul kings? Was his nest blown up by the evil soul master?"
The minister nodded repeatedly: "Your Majesty is so wise and discerning that he was bombed in the territory of our Star Luo Empire!"
The angry Xu Jiawei was stunned when he heard this, and then listened to the minister tell the story of how the Shrek Supervisory Team was almost wiped out by the evil soul master.
"I sent support but only sent one person. Who are you showing this to? Is Shrek really depleted or is he just a little man out of anger? He wants to show off his misfortune to win sympathy but is unwilling to give up the championship?"
"Oh wait... So I'm the one to blame for Shrek's incomplete lineup? Was it me, Xu Jiawei, who asked them to take action?"
"Of course not, Your Majesty, but the reason why Shrek pulled out such a dilapidated lineup is to help our country eliminate evil soul masters. They should be more tolerant."
Xu Jiawei snorted, but still nodded in agreement: "By the way, the soul emperor Shrek played is not that boy from the Dai family. How is he doing?"
The minister cupped his hands and said: "The eldest son of the Dai family suffered an explosion from the corpse of an evil soul master. He was severely injured while protecting his younger brother, younger brother and wife. His left arm was almost broken off by the explosion. He is in critical condition. The old man from Shrek actually came to ask the deputy master of the enshrinement hall for help. of."
"Well……"
Xu Jiawei thought for a moment and then nodded in approval: "Deputy Palace Master, please do your best. Duke White Tiger has fought for the country all his life and is loyal to the emperor and the country. I don't want to hear this bad news now. I want to comfort Mr. Dai more and don't chill the army."
"Yes, but Shrek's trip is not just to ask the deputy palace master to help Mr. Dai."
"Are there any demands? Do you want me to help them arrange a few more weak persimmons on the schedule?"
"This is not stated clearly, although I think that is what the old man meant... His request was to let the deputy hall master help the other two Shrek students who were injured this time to recover. One of them is Poseidon Pavilion. The Lord’s great-great-grandson, the other is the heir of the Xuanming Sect. He also said, and said..."
Xu Jiawei frowned and said, "Don't fool me. What did you say?"
"It's all said and done, there's nothing wrong with doing it."
"...Could this be the original words?"
"If I remember correctly it is."
"Kuanni, does Shrek actually have an underage elder? Or is it that the standard for entering the Poseidon Pavilion is only cultivation, not brains? Can't they choose an elder who can talk a little to make everyone look good?"
"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
"Sigh... It's still up to Medical Immortal Douluo to make his own decision. Now that the Sun and Moon Empire is so powerful, we must tolerate each other for the sake of the country."
Xu Jiawei sighed and sat back in his chair.
"By the way, Shrek's current lineup is very weak. What are their thoughts? Are they ready to step down and give way to talents, or are they still going to fight hard?"
The minister's expression became a little strange.
"What the old man meant is that Shrek's eternal glory should not be given up easily, but he is not harsh on the students' ranking this time. As long as they reach the top four, they will be very satisfied."
"Yes, it seems that there is still a fight. Do they think the top four are Shrek's cabbage? I wonder if there are so many strong people in this year, there are several All-Soul King teams?"
The minister said cautiously: "That old man said that they all know how Shrek has been targeted in the competition for so many years. They all know how the Royal Academy team of the host country can enter the semi-finals every time. Now Shrek suddenly suffered The unexpected events are just the right opportunity to help them gain Shrek's friendship."
"What nonsense is this! There are only five teams from the Three Kingdoms, Sun Moon and Shrek. Is it strange to be in the semi-finals?"
Xu Jiawei suddenly thought of something and said in a deep voice: "Is this the unified opinion of Poseidon Pavilion, or does it only represent him personally?"
"The old man claimed that he has not proposed it to the master of Poseidon Pavilion, but at least half of the members of Poseidon Pavilion have acquiesced."
The minister cautiously suggested: "Actually, judging from the physical condition of the master of the Poseidon Pavilion, I believe that the unanimous opinions of other members of the Poseidon Pavilion are more important than the thoughts of the master. Of course, everything must be decided by His Majesty."
Xu Jiawei held his chin with one hand, thought for a while and said: "It is too difficult for Shrek to win the championship with the current lineup. If defeat is inevitable, it is better to lose at the hands of our Star Luo Empire. Let's discuss it with Shrek. If they are willing to make it happen, I also guarantee that they will enter the quarterfinals.”
The schedule cannot be manipulated? Can't you assign a soft persimmon to the team's orientation? joke!
Since the lottery tube is transparent, it is impossible to tamper with it? Do you believe this? Have you ever seen a "lottery draw" where you happen to draw a number that only has one bet?
The minister murmured: "Actually... I made my own decision and checked Shrek's mouth."
"It doesn't matter, you did the right thing, what did Shrek say?"
"The old man said that Shrek must compete with dignity, win with integrity, and lose with conviction. Shrek must have the magnanimity and pride of the No. 1 academy in the world. They have nothing to say if they lose to the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, but We will never engage in secret exchanges to tarnish Shrek’s eternal glory, and we will not allow others to use them as stepping stones.”
Xu Jiawei's knuckles turned white from pinching himself. After a while, he still couldn't bear it and slapped the table, trying to cultivate his self-cultivation.
"Don't use them as stepping stones? Isn't the Soul Fighting Competition just a game where the winner steps on the loser to get to the top?"
"What on earth was Shrek thinking! Do they know what it means to lose to the Sun and Moon Empire?! Shrek's undefeated record for ten thousand years is a boost for the people of the three countries. After all, losing to me, the Star Luo Empire, is one of our own. And everyone will help cover up and defend a team like Shrek, whose loss is understandable."
"Would rather lose to the Sun-Moon Empire than make secret exchanges? How can they be so willful? This will cause panic in the Three Kingdoms! Then the aboveboard and aboveboard will coyly ask us to escort him to the top four."
"Is it important that Shrek loses, or is it the confidence of the people of the three countries that is more important? In the past, the army couldn't compare, but now they want to lift the lid and tell the people that even the soul masters can't compare. Does Shrek still have the overall situation in mind? They are Don’t you really think that you are higher than the Three Kingdoms?”
The minister still held his hand and said nothing, but his attitude was obvious.
"Oh...wait, I think I understand a little bit."
Xu Jiawei sprayed and sprayed as if suddenly enlightened. He patted his forehead and looked up at the sky.
"Please give me your Majesty's advice."
"Shrek is taking advantage of me. I don't want Shrek to lose to the Sun and Moon Empire. They are forcing me to make arrangements for them. I am not even willing to give up any benefits."
"What's the point? What's the point? Do they really think that their team can win the championship? What's wrong with being a favor and allowing our Star Luo Empire to face the Sun and Moon Empire in the finals? I'm really used to taking advantage and not losing!"
The minister lowered his head and said, "So, what are your Majesty's arrangements?"
Xu Jiawei covered his forehead with both hands, feeling that his head couldn't stop hurting:
"Assign more teams from the Sun Moon Empire and the strong teams originally prepared for Shrek to the opponents of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. Of course, don't arrange all the top 16 seed teams. That would go too far and affect the subsequent games. Appreciation; give Shrek... proper care. After all, the confidence of the people of the Three Kingdoms lies in it, but don’t be too obvious and make everyone unable to come to the stage. This face will be given until the top eight."
"If Shrek draws the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy in advance, it has nothing to do with us. Aren't they asking for more, and would rather defeat proudly? Satisfy them. Let us, the Star Luo Empire, face the Sun and Moon Empire in the finals. Anyway, Shrek This team entering the finals is a waste of places. Compared to the two, at least our Star Luo Empire can have one more honor of entering the finals."
"And it allows Shrek to force out the Sun-Moon Empire's trump card in advance and consume its strength. Jiujiu and the others can wait for work. This time, our country's lineup is unprecedentedly strong, and it also has the advantage of home court. I think the chance of winning is quite high. If we can If we win the championship, the whole country should celebrate together!”
At the end of Xu Jiawei's words, he still couldn't hold back and squeezed the list in his hand into a crumpled ball.
"Shrek insults me and is proud of me. The Sun and Moon Empire despises me. Fight, fight! Since you accuse me of using the home court to engage in shady activities, then I will really do it for you to satisfy you. Shrek should also This is the first time to march forward for the king."
"I have changed my mind. I don't want the ticket money for the finals between Shrek and the Sun Moon Empire! Besides, if Jiujiu can lead the team to the finals, the people of the empire will be filled with unparalleled enthusiasm. It is equivalent to two finals. In comparison, I don’t know whether I will lose or make a profit!”
The highest goal of the Star Luo Empire is naturally to win the championship, so how to properly manipulate the schedule to create a situation that is most beneficial to the Star Luo Empire is very particular.
The Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy is undoubtedly the top seeded player. In the past, only Shrek could beat them, and the rest of the teams were just cannon fodder. But this year's situation is too special. Although Shrek's team is still capable of fighting, it is almost impossible to enter the finals.
In this case, it is better to show more value to the Star Luo Empire and even the Douluo Three Kingdoms, and expose the Sun Moon Empire's trump card and strength more clearly.
The character who originally fought against the Sun and Moon Empire belonged to the Douluo Three Kingdoms, but now times have changed, and it is Shrek's turn to switch to this position.
Will Shrek's defeat to the Sun and Moon Empire seriously damage the confidence of the people of the three countries? This risk is indeed real, but as long as the Star Luo Empire can turn the tide, the prestige and glory that originally belonged to Shrek will exponentially fall on the Star Luo Empire and the Star Luo royal family represented by Xu Jiujiu!
Xu Jiawei, who holds Xingluo's strongest lineup, believes that he can definitely take this gamble. He used the country's financial resources as a backing to purchase many secret weapons for the Star Luo Royal Academy. How many teams in the world have such confidence?
