Because, having reached the level-99 Ultimate Douluo, her attempts to step into the Hundredth Level domain were met with frustration, as no matter how much she cultivated, the increase in her Soul Power could only be described as minuscule!
At this rate, even if she were given an additional hundred years, stepping into the God Realm would be difficult, not to mention the ultimate outcome... succumbing to death due to the limitations of her lifespan!
The only thing that could give her a sliver of an opportunity to break through the Hundredth Level was that intangible chance!!
Xu Sheng pursed her lips and said calmly, "It seems, Elder Ya'li has lost much interest in breaking through to the Hundredth Level."
Ya'li was taken aback, covered her mouth, and chuckled, "How could I not be interested? However, having lived for over a hundred years, without seeing any hope ahead, naturally, I must take the opportunity to enjoy life a bit. Elder Xu, don't you think that's the right idea?"
Xu Sheng quietly pursed her lips again, "You're right; we do need to enjoy life a bit!"
She herself didn't know how many tens of thousands of years she had lived, and yet she still had to take care of that kid Tang San's son!
After returning this time, she must make him experience some of her own dissatisfaction!
As the two of them were conversing, several more duels took place, and the class elimination tournament had successfully determined the final four!
They were Wu Dousi's team, Tang Wulin's team, and two other highly capable teams!
At this moment, standing in the middle of the confrontation stage, Shen Yi, with her beautiful eyes looking down at the students below, announced, "After several rounds of elimination, the class selection tournament has now determined the last four teams! The group that wins the final victory will not only represent the first class in the competition but will also receive a reward from the academy!"
"I hope everyone will show their true strength in the upcoming duels!!"
Right after her words fell, many students excitedly said, "Is it finally time for the finals? I wonder which team will win in the end!"
"Hmph! Isn't it obvious? The team that will represent our Class One in the battle is definitely Wu Dousi's team, they have three four-ring Soul Ancestors after all! They are hardly inferior to the second-year students!"
"That's not necessarily the case, even though Wu Dousi's team is strong, the other teams are not weak either, especially the class president's team, which seems to have been hiding their strength all along!"
"Don't joke, you're not suggesting that the class president's team could win, are you? Let me tell you, it's absolutely impossible!"
"The highest in the class president's team is just three rings, so the odds of winning are indeed slim, but they should not be underestimated!"
"Anyway, I'm rooting for Wu Dousi's team, the gap in the soul power rank can't just be made up for with simple coordination!"
Luo Guixing glanced at these students and coldly said, "Hmph, those people actually think that Gu Yue and the others can defeat us, have their brains rusted?"
Yang Nianxia also nodded, "Our team has three four-ring Soul Ancestors. If we really lose to Gu Yue's team, I'm afraid we won't be able to show our faces in Class One afterward!"
Zheng Yiran pouted and said disdainfully, "Psh, Gu Yue and the others may have hidden their strength, but they don't actually think we're serious, do they?"
Wu Dousi took a deep breath and said calmly, "Regardless of whether Gu Yue and the others have hidden their strength or not, don't pull me back during the confrontation, or else..."
After her words, her delicate body suddenly emitted a chilling coldness...
She wanted to let Teacher Xu and all the students know who the strongest in Class One was!!
Everyone else's expressions turned sour at her words, but they still suppressed the anger in their hearts and did not voice any objections...
If it wasn't for the academy's reward to the victors, do you think they really wanted to be part of this team?
...
On the other side, seeing the tense atmosphere, Wei Xiaofeng spoke up to ease the tension, "Now, including us, there are four teams left; if we win the next two confrontations, we will be able to represent Class One in battle!"
However, these words did not improve everyone's mood in the slightest...
Xie Xie frowned and said, "Wei Xiaofeng, are you really naive or just pretending? Don't you know we'll still have to face strong opponents like Wu Dousi and the others later on?"

Feeling guilty, Wei Xiaofeng said with aggrievement, "I know... I just... I just wanted to motivate everyone, you know?"
Gu Yue shook her head and said in a deep voice, "It's not Wei Xiaofeng's fault. The group led by Wu Dousi indeed poses a great threat to us. Ultimately, this class selection competition is a battle for the class committee positions!"
Tang Wulin nodded in agreement, "Yes, not only that, but I also heard that Wu Dousi can use her own Martial Soul Fusion just like Xie Xie! Her strength could even rival that of a five-ringed powerhouse for a short time!"
He had found out from Feng Wu Yu, although it had a hint of cheating!
Upon hearing this, Wang Jinxi's pupils shrank sharply, "What?? Her own Martial Soul Fusion? Wu Dousi is already so terrifying using only the Hell Civet Martial Soul, if she were to..."
Xu Xiaoyan said displeasedly, "The fight hasn't even started yet! And here you are, boosting their morale and undermining our own!"
Tang Wulin took a deep breath at her words and spoke earnestly, "Xiaoyan is right. No matter how strong they are, we won't know until we fight! After all, the fact that we've made it this far shows that our own strength is not weak either!"
If they won the next matchup, they could seize the opportunity to propose a 5v5 team battle to Wu Dousi and the others!
With their personalities, they would definitely not refuse such a sure-win proposal!
Little did he know, the determination he exhibited left the always silent Ye Xinglan in stupefaction...
It was as if she saw a reflection of her own indomitable spirit in Tang Wulin's eyes!
Xu Lizhi tugged at Ye Xinglan's dress hem with worry and asked, "Sister Xinglan, do you think we have a chance of winning?"
Ye Xinglan snapped back to reality, her beautiful eyes flaring with intense combat spirit as she clenched her fist, "How would we know without fighting?"
Wu Dousi may be strong, but she herself was certainly not much weaker!!
The only one who gave her trouble was Wu Dousi herself!
...
Sea God's Pavilion!
Elder Cai, his face grave, turned to Yun Ming and said, "Pavilion Master, the students led by Elder Tang have suffered an attack by evil Soul Masters. According to the received reports, there are two evil Soul Masters who have reached the Hyper Douluo level!"
"If we don't send support quickly, I'm afraid the situation will become very dangerous!"
Yun Ming's eyes flickered as he thought, "Taking advantage of the fact that most of the elders from Sea God's Pavilion are dispatched by the academy, they couldn't resist attacking, could they..."
Obviously, there were spies from the Holy Spirit Cult inserted within Shrek Academy!
After taking a deep breath, Yun Ming said calmly, "Send Elder Xu and Ya'li to support Elder Tang!"
Elder Cai frowned, "Pavilion Master, this seems inappropriate. Although Elder Ya'li has reached the level of Ultimate Douluo, she is still a support-class Soul Master. It would be better if Elder Xu and I went."
Yun Ming said coldly, "No, you need to stay here with me to guard Shrek Academy!"
If they dispatched their strongest fighters, Shrek Academy would become defenseless in the short term!!
For the safety of Shrek Academy, even if this course of action posed a great risk to Xu Sheng and Ya'li... there was no other choice!
Elder Cai paused, then said seriously, "I understand... Pavilion Master!"
