87 Chapter 87: You leave me no choice
Adding that Fatty's evil fire problem had also been settled, if he wanted to pursue Jiang Zhu himself, even if the others wouldn't support him, they also wouldn't stir up trouble.
"Fine, don't be noisy. Even though our opponents this fight aren't strong, we still can't be careless."
Dai Mubai showed off the proper responsibilities of a vice-captain, reminding everyone to prepare for the match. As for the captain he is in seclusion restoring his power and cultivating together with Zhu Zhuqing. He had started feeling more dizzy nowadays.
Just at this moment, Grandmaster walked in from outside,
"Dai Mubai is right, it's very possible some academies will hide their strength. However, not this time. Your opponents have already forfeited."
"Ah? Forfeited?"
The whole Shrek Academy team couldn't help looking at Grandmaster in astonishment.
Grandmaster smiled faintly, saying:
"Do you think any academy would want to compete with you after seeing two one-sided victories and one more things Fan Lin."
Not needing to compete meant a day of rest. In such a high density round robin system as the qualifiers, this was undoubtedly an extraordinary benefit for the Shrek Academy. Everyone immediately cheered, following Grandmaster towards the lobby outside.
"The advancement quota from the qualifiers is only five. If you want to advance to the finals without trouble, then the best way is to obtain victory in each match in the qualifiers, entering the next stage with a total win record."
Leaving the rest area, everyone's gazes first floated towards the stage. Right now, the spectators all around were constantly booing.
Tang San puzzled asked Grandmaster:
"Teacher, what's going on? Why is the audience reacting so much?"
Grandmaster said with a wry smile:
"Isn't it because of you? Your opponents forfeited, there are a lot of spectators who came especially to see all of you compete. When you don't appear, they will naturally be dissatisfied."
In the stands, at least one third of the spectators were dressed in green, or perhaps it should be called 'snot green'.
Even Grandmaster and Liu Erlong had to acknowledge Flender's sense for finance, but they could understand even less how the former Shrek Academy could fail like that.
Ever since the Shrek Academy team had caused a sensation, Flender had found partners to begin mass production of Shrek Academy uniforms and dumping them on the market. Moreover, each uniform was embroidered with the name of a team member.
Among them, Zeng Xin's uniform sold the most. In just one short week, Flender had ruthlessly dredged up quite a sum on these uniforms.
These two days he had begun thinking about making team mascots for sale. He was so busy he had completely handed over all tournament matters to Grandmaster and Liu Erlong.
They didn't know who first saw the Shrek Academy group leave the rest area, but immediately, a large number of spectators began to shout the word 'Shrek', and the mood in the arena grew a lot more enthusiastic.
If this had been a spirit fighting match, the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena would have invited the Shrek team on the stage for a fight no matter what, as soon as they saw such a surge of enthusiasm.
Unfortunately, this was the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, and they didn't have that authority. They could only regretfully watch the Shrek Academy's absence from this day's matches.
"Okay guys you go rest. I have something to do, I will come later."
"Okay"
------------------------
There was a person who was following Zeng Xin this whole time. Changing into proper clothes, Zeng Xin slipped quietly out of the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena.
Right now, besides some people who hadn't gotten tickets and some scalpers, the area outside the Great Spirit Arena was calm.
Zeng Xin was pondering over how to deal with this Shi Nian guy while he was moving on his way to Shrek Academy.
Zeng Xin felt that today the road seemed a bit long. Though he had been immersed in a solution, he felt he should have already arrived at the Academy.
"Oh, so it has started."
Zeng Xin said out loud.
From that trace of cold air, a faint killing intent seeped out. That was a spirit murderous enough to threaten his life if he was any other ordinary Spirit Master. The surroundings suddenly became very still. Those proper street sounds from before quietly faded away at the same time.
The scenery in front of him also became misty, everything turning indistinct at the same instant. A faint silhouette gradually became clear about ten meters in front of Zeng Xin.
"Worthy of being Shrek Academy's most outstanding disciple. You really are very vigilant. Unfortunately, you discovered it too late."
It was that Chang Hui Academy team's coach, the seventy second ranked Spirit Sage Flender, Shi Nian.
Seeing this person, Zeng Xin couldn't keep his heart from feeling happier and happier. Quietly watching Shi Nian, he said:
"So it's Chang Hui Academy's teacher. Do you need something? I have a surprise for you."
Shi Nian smiled calmly, saying:
"No need, You are going to die anyway.."
Zeng Xin laughed said:
"And who is going to kill me, you?"
The corners of Shi Nian's mouth showed a trace of a frown,
"I've always been looking for an opportunity these last few days. Unfortunately, you were always together with the other Shrek Academy students, leaving me unable to act. But today you still gave me this chance. It really is a pity you're not one of my Academy's disciples."
"You are going to die today. So let me get loose a little"
Zeng Xin vanished from his place and appeared in front of Shi Nian. He punched him but his hand phased through him. Shi Nian vanished in a thick smoke.
Shi Nian smiled, and this time his smile seemed quite relaxed,
"Among people your age, you're no doubt very powerful. Even I haven't seen a more remarkable young Spirit Master.. Within my Brutal Dream, I'm the ruler of everything, let alone some of the sixtieth rankers like you, even Spirit Masters of the same rank as me would be unable to break free."
"You leave me no choice then."
