"What did you say?"
Among Shrek, Tai Long, the most hot-tempered and straightforward, was the first to lose his temper. He dashed out to confront Cang Hui Academy.
And among Cang Hui Academy, a tall and thin student with a somewhat pale complexion looked at Tai Long before him and said with disdain and contempt, "I said, you guys don't deserve to win the championship. It's simply wishful thinking."
"You..."
Tai Long wanted to say something more, but at this moment, a hand patted his shoulder from behind and said, "Tai Long, that's enough!"
Tai Long turned around and found that the person was actually Dai Mu Bai.
Immediately after, Dai Mu Bai looked at the people from Cang Hui Academy and said coldly, "Winning the championship isn't about talking with your mouth, but about fighting for it. Right or wrong, we'll see on the field."
After speaking, Dai Mu Bai led Tai Long back to Shrek's position.
And when Cang Hui Academy saw they couldn't provoke Shrek into breaking the rules and fighting, their eyes flickered, then they snorted coldly and returned to their own positions.
"? Was that Dai Mu Bai just now?"
Seeing this scene, Mo Hui from the direction of Divine Wind Academy was also a little surprised. This Dai Mu Bai seemed quite different from his original impression.
Because of this change, Mo Hui also began to carefully observe Shrek.
However, after carefully observing Shrek, Mo Hui's expression became even more surprised. This was quite different from the original work.
It seemed that without the aid of the immortal herbs, only two people among Shrek had broken through level 40. One was Dai Mu Bai, level 41, and the other was Tang San. Tang San was currently level 42.
Tang San seemed to have found a new opportunity; his current level was actually one level higher than at this point in the original work.
Besides the two of them, the one with the highest spirit power level was Xiao Wu, level 37.
As for the others, they were clearly much weaker. Oscar was level 35, Ma Hong Jun was level 33, and Zhu Zhu Qing was level 33. This was clearly the level they should be at now without the immortal herbs.
Although reaching this level at this age could still be considered talented, aside from Oscar, they were no longer able to significantly widen the gap with other geniuses.
They were even incomparable to top geniuses like Feng Xiao Tian, Shui Bing Er, Yu Tian Xin, and Huo Wu.
After all, under his influence, Shui Bing Er, Yu Tian Xin, and Huo Wu had worked hard, and their levels had now reached level 46 or 47, while Feng Xiao Tian had even reached level 54.
Although there were age factors involved, without the help of immortal herbs, it wasn't so easy to catch up to this gap of over ten levels in the remaining time.
After all, the later the level, the harder it is to improve, unless they could find a top-level cultivation ground suitable for them like Mo Hui and meditate and cultivate day and night. Only then would there be a slight possibility of catching up.
But it was just a slight possibility. With Zhu Zhu Qing and Ma Hong Jun's talents, which hadn't been baptized by immortal herbs, they were only slightly higher than ordinary geniuses. How difficult would it be to raise their spirit power level from level 33 to level 46 or 47 in five or six years?
As for Oscar, although he had innate full spirit power, he was a food-type spirit master, which is the hardest to cultivate. Furthermore, he was already sixteen years old. If there were no unexpected factors, it would be quite good for him to break through to Spirit Elder before the age of twenty. Even with enough effort, he would reach at most level 42 or 43; it would be impossible to go higher.
"Changes in the world."
Seeing this, Mo Hui couldn't help but feel a little emotional. If it weren't for Tang San, these people from Shrek should have developed like this. Although their talent was still decent, their final achievements would probably only be at the Spirit Sage level. Breaking through to Spirit Douluo would require luck, let alone Title Douluo or becoming a god.
Not to mention the world turmoil that would follow, whether they could survive was still questionable.
Shaking his head, Mo Hui stopped paying attention to Shrek and took out the book he bought at the auction yesterday, which was claimed to be out of print, and began to read it.
However, after only reading for a while, Mo Hui cursed inwardly at the unscrupulous merchant. Although he knew the book was aged to look old and he only needed the knowledge inside, he didn't expect the knowledge inside to be fake too.
It was clear that someone had found a tattered ancient book, filled in the missing parts according to their own understanding, and then mass-produced and aged it. He actually spent five hundred gold spirit coins on something like this. It was simply robbery.
At this moment, a staff member walked over and confirmed with the people from Divine Wind Academy, "Are you from Divine Wind Academy?"
"That's right, we are Divine Wind Academy," Feng Qing Cang nodded and replied.
The staff member said, "Have all your members arrived? If so, you can enter."
"We have all arrived," Feng Qing Cang glanced behind him and replied.
The staff member nodded and then began to guide the Divine Wind Academy students into the venue.
"Captain Mo Hui, we should go."
Feng Yun Fan patted Mo Hui's shoulder and said.
Mo Hui naturally also noticed the arrival of the staff member. So, he put the imitation ancient book into his spirit tool and, along with the others, walked into the passage.
Just as Mo Hui and the others were leaving, in the corner where Shrek was located, Tang San looked at Mo Hui's departing back with a look of doubt.
"Third Brother, what's wrong?"
Seeing Tang San's change, Xiao Wu, who was beside him, quickly asked.
Tang San pointed at Mo Hui's back and said, "Xiao Wu, look at that back. Does it resemble someone we once knew?"
Xiao Wu looked in the direction Tang San was pointing and immediately said with some surprise and doubt, "Yes, it looks a bit like Mo Hui, whom we knew at Nuoding Academy, but that's unlikely, right? He only has innate level three spirit power and should still be studying at a intermediate spirit master academy. How could he participate in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament?"
Shrek was an exception; it was originally an ungraded, unofficial academy. Later, it merged with the advanced spirit master academy, Lan Ba Academy, only then gaining the qualification to participate in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament.
Under normal circumstances, their Shrek wouldn't even have the qualification to participate.
Xiao Wu's words made sense to Tang San, and he immediately nodded and said, "Maybe it just looks a bit similar."
"Mo Hui? Little San, are you talking about the Mo Hui whose spirit is called Bobo?"
At this moment, Dai Mu Bai, who heard Tang San and Xiao Wu's words, immediately shot out a sharp glint in his eyes and quickly asked.
Tang San said with some surprise, "That's right. Big Brother Dai, you know him too?"
"More than just know him, this wound on me was left by him."
Dai Mu Bai smiled bitterly, pulled open the clothes on his chest, and displayed the deep scar in front of everyone, saying, "I was almost beaten to death by him back then. In fact, if he hadn't shown mercy, I might already be dead. The reason I've cultivated so hard all these years is to avenge this injury one day!"
Saying this, Dai Mu Bai clenched his fists. Since the day he lost to Mo Hui, he had been cultivating diligently every moment, all for the sake of defeating Mo Hui, his former opponent, at some point in the future and fiercely returning the humiliation he had suffered.
Because of this, he rarely sought out women, missing many romantic opportunities.
However, it also turned out to be a blessing in disguise, otherwise Zhu Zhu Qing wouldn't have forgiven him so easily, and the two of them wouldn't have formed a spirit fusion skill.
It was precisely because they had the spirit fusion skill as a guarantee that their Shrek had the confidence to contend for the championship. Otherwise, with just two Spirit Elders who had just broken through not long ago, plus a group of Spirit Grandmasters, even the incredibly thick-skinned Flanders wouldn't dare to say that their Shrek was aiming for the championship.
