Chapter 154 Farewell.
Chapter 154 Farewell.
Shrek's defeat undoubtedly marked the end of a legendary era for the audience, finally bringing an end to a glory that had lasted for millennia.
The invincible Shrek finally fell—
It is precisely because Shrek has won every championship in previous tournaments that their defeat in this tournament leaves a deeper impression on the world.
Don't forget, just like no one would bet on the Chinese national football team to win the World Cup, a considerable number of viewers in Xingluo City, where gambling is allowed, have habitually placed their bets on Shrek Academy.
The odds wouldn't be too high, so there would definitely be some profit, but their ingrained thinking led them to believe that Shrek would win.
The fact that Xingluo National Academy suddenly became the champion means that the assets of this group of people will be ——————
"Shrek, have you ever treated us well?! Fuck you, give us our money back!"
"I've mortgaged my house, how could they do this to us? How could they do this to us?!"
The audience was in complete chaos, with some Shrek fans wearing turkey-green school uniforms shouting and even threatening to rush onto the stage.
In the end, it was Wang Yan, the teacher leading Shrek Academy, who calmed down this farce.
At this point, only Wang Yan can be allowed to speak. Could Mu En or Xuan Zi be allowed to do so?
He took off his glasses, tears welling up before he could speak.
First, he acknowledged that Shrek Academy's defeat was honorable, and then he explained why Shrek Academy's side only had three inner court disciples.
By the way, Old Wang played a word game, only saying that he was going to conquer the evil soul master, but not saying that the evil soul master was just a soul king.
Well, no one would dare say that out loud, right? Anyway, they're all evil soul masters. In the eyes of the general public, what's the difference between a Title Douluo and a Soul King?
Sure enough, Old Wang's sentimental and melodramatic performance instantly won over the audience's sympathy.
The Shrek Academy fans immediately understood: if it weren't for the unexpected incident, Shrek Academy would definitely have won the championship as always.
Wang Yan stood in the center of the arena, bowing repeatedly to the audience. The entire Xingluo Square resounded with the crowd's understanding chants of "Long live Shrek!" At this moment, Wang Yan's popularity even overshadowed that of Xingluo National Academy, which had won the championship.
All of this was observed by Emperor Xu Jiawei of Xingluo.
His eyes narrowed dangerously, and his fingers tapped nervously on the railing.
Yes, he once went to Shrek Academy under an assumed name, so he can be considered a "spiritual Shrek".
But this does not mean that he wants Shrek's status to supersede his imperial power—or rather, no emperor would want any power to supersede his authority.
What he desires even more is to control the power of Shrek Academy, the strongest fighting force on the continent!
"prime minister."
Xu Jiawei spoke calmly.
Not far from where he sat, an elderly man who looked quite shrewd and capable immediately stood up, turned around, and bowed respectfully to Xu Jiawei.
"Your subject is here."
"From now on, trade with Shrek City will be subject to an additional 30% tariff; all cities within the Star Luo Empire are prohibited from sending eligible talents or letters of recommendation to Shrek City, and those who disobey will be punished as treason!"
A strange look flashed in the Prime Minister's eyes. He subconsciously glanced at the court officials behind him who were also cheering "Long live Shrek".
These individuals were all important officials in the imperial court and also graduates of Shrek Academy.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"So, you're still leaving, you brat?"
At the entrance of the Star Emperor Hotel, seeing Huo Yuhao, who had taken off his Shrek Academy uniform and changed into a blue and white outfit, looking relaxed, Zhang Lexuan sighed softly, her voice filled with deep reluctance.
She knew that Shrek Academy was not a refuge for the boy, but a shackle that bound him; leaving now meant that he would be like a fish soaring into the sea or a bird flying into the sky, no longer bound by any constraints.
But—she couldn't bear to part with it.
Huo Yuhao chuckled softly, stepped forward and hugged Zhang Lexuan's soft and elegant body. "It's not like we'll never see each other again. Whenever I have time, I'll definitely come back to see Teacher Lexuan."
Zhang Lexuan looked at the boy's features, which were still somewhat immature but increasingly refined, pursed her lips, and reached out to hug Huo Yuhao, resting her chin on his shoulder and feeling his warmth.
Huo Yuhao said softly, "Teacher Le Xuan, are you really not going to reconsider? With your talent and abilities, you could be highly valued in any organization. Why waste your time at Shrek Academy?"
Zhang Lexuan sniffed and said irritably, "I really don't know whether to call you smart or naive—do you think the Shrek Academy management will let you leave so easily?"
Huo Yuhao blinked a couple of times, but couldn't help but complain, "—Now I'm starting to wonder if Shrek Academy is an academy or a religion. Is it really that serious?"
Zhang Lexuan snorted, "You and that Lan Xuanyu seem to have quite a grudge, right? Although I don't think that mysterious kid can threaten you, and that Wang Dong, you can tell at a glance that he has ulterior motives towards you."
"Anyway, I'm at Shrek Academy, so I should be able to protect you from a lot of trouble."
Huo Yuhao pursed his lips, unconsciously tightening his embrace around Zhang Lexuan's slender waist, and whispered in her ear, "—Teacher Lexuan, if you don't want to stay at Shrek Academy anymore, I'll come and get you. In a few years, I'll establish an organization, and I'll need Teacher Lexuan's help then."
Zhang Lexuan said sourly, "Oh? You're that capable? You didn't happen to hook up with that rich princess Xu Jiujiu, did you?"
Huo Yuhao twitched the corners of his mouth, gently loosened his grip on the beauty in his arms, and looked directly into her eyes.
"No, that's not it. It's just that my goal is related to all soul masters and soul beasts, so I'll definitely have to deal with those national powers. You'll find out when the time comes, Teacher Lexuan."
Zhang Lexuan tilted her head. "I'm rather curious what kind of organization you'll be building?"
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and didn't say anything, but solemnly instructed, "Teacher Le Xuan, please trust me. Don't go to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts when you reach level 90. I will help you get your ninth soul ring."
Zhang Lexuan naturally trusted Huo Yuhao's words. "It seems you really do have some secret techniques. I'll look forward to it with great anticipation."
After saying that, Zhang Lexuan leaned close to Huo Yuhao's ear and turned her head.
"!!!"
Huo Yuhao felt a warm, moist sensation on his cheek, along with a faint fragrance.
"I'm waiting for you—"
The beautiful woman was no longer in his arms; only the faint fragrance of her body and those four words, imbued with complex emotions, remained in the air.
Huo Yuhao stared into the distance, biting his lip.
I need to say goodbye to Sister Xiaotao again.
