In the blink of an eye, a week had passed.
The competition had already gone through ten rounds.
Aside from Team One of the Royal Douluo Academy, which remained undefeated, the only other undefeated teams were Blazing Fire and Tianshui Academy—fortunate enough not to have faced the Royal Douluo Team One.
As for Thunder Academy, luck was not on their side. In the first round, they faced Shenfeng Academy. Without Feng Xiaotian, Thunder Academy managed to win that first round.
In the second round, they encountered Royal Douluo Team One, and to avoid wasting time, they were completely outmatched by Dugu Yan alone.
Afterward, due to some behind-the-scenes manipulations, strong teams avoided facing other strong teams, so that more powerful teams would enter the promotion rounds.
Thus, their subsequent matches were almost all victories.
But Shenfeng Academy suffered terribly. Without their main members, even Xiangjia Team barely won, and only because they gave their full effort with no holding back.
Finally, in the tenth round, they faced Shrek Academy, and were defeated by their former captain, Feng Xiaotian, which left them furious.
In the end, Shenfeng Academy had eight wins and two losses in ten rounds—a decent result, but compared to other academies, they lagged significantly.
Their ranking fell behind Royal Douluo Team One, Blazing Fire, Tianshui, Thunder, and the academy they hated most: Shrek.
Still, they were within the top fifteen, so as long as they maintained their performance in the remaining matches, they could still participate in the promotion rounds.
At this moment, inside the Shrek Academy lounge, the atmosphere was jubilant. Even Yu Xiaogang, normally expressionless, could not help but smile.
The Seven Monsters of Shrek ranked fourth, and the remaining teams were weak, far below what the Shrek team could handle with ease.
"小三 (Xiao San), you've done very well. If you maintain this win rate over the next twenty-six rounds, your promotion is practically guaranteed."
Yu Xiaogang was exultant, having never felt so elated. Many people had already started calling him the teacher who had trained Tang San, referring to him sincerely as "Master."
It was the first time he had heard outsiders genuinely call him Master, making him feel success was immediate.
"Don't worry, teacher. We've already studied all the data on our opponents."
Tang San spoke, his tone tinged with curiosity:"There's just one person in the Royal Douluo Academy whose Martial Soul is a Demon Fox, named Hu Liena. This person seems to belong to the Spirit Hall."
Because last time, when they fought Royal Douluo Team One, the match ended too quickly, and he didn't get a clear view of the opponents.
After several days of observation, he was surprised to discover that Hu Liena was now in the Royal Douluo Academy.
This was highly irregular. Hu Liena's elders were all from the Spirit Hall, so logically, she shouldn't even be in Tiandou City.
"It's Qian Renxue."
Tang San's brilliant mind started working frantically. He subconsciously thought Qian Renxue was still disguised as Xue Qinghe, infiltrating the Royal Douluo Empire, ready to execute a plot to seize the throne.
And the so-called new Spirit Hall Archpriest must have known Qian Renxue would fail, so he arranged many hidden agents.
This Hu Liena was one of those agents.
But with Tang San around, all of that was futile.
Tang San thought, letting out a small laugh: surely the so-called new Archpriest of the Spirit Hall never expected that he, the future dual God King of the Shura Sea, had also been reborn.
In this life, he could still expose Qian Renxue's disguise and support the prince who would accept him as master to become emperor.
Leading a million-strong army, he would cleanse the Spirit Hall in blood.
Whether Qian Xunfeng panicked or not, if Xue Xing knew Tang San's plan, she would definitely be secretly amused.
She had been fretting about not having a reason to kill Xue Qinghe, and now it turned out Xue Qinghe was actually Qian Renxue in disguise—how perfect.
Then Tiandou would truly be under his one-word rule. Some nobles who had sensed the prince's distance would begin supporting the prince, creating headaches for him.
But now, Xue Qinghe was not the real prince, so they couldn't protect him.
Meanwhile, Tang San's mind continued to churn rapidly. Yu Xiaogang, unaware of Hu Liena's identity, noticed Tang San's attention and curiously asked:
"A level 52 little Soul Master—what threat could they pose? Could they be hiding their strength?"
Being interrupted, Tang San shot Yu Xiaogang a look: a little Soul Master… you'd better burn incense to the heavens if you ever want to reach Soul Sect.
He restrained his expression and replied curiously:"No, just curious that suddenly there were so many unfamiliar Soul Masters on the other side."
His rebirth was his secret. Apart from Feng Xiaotian and Dai Mubai, no one knew, and he had no intention of revealing it yet.
"What's there to fear? With Third Brother here, Shrek will win every match. Royal Douluo Team One will also pay for their past arrogance."
Now Ma Hongjun, the one-eyed turkey, was full of confidence, lying on the sofa, one hand patting his big belly, the other shoving fruit into his mouth.
"Yes, Shrek will definitely win!"
Oscar and Yu Tianheng echoed in unison. Dai Mubai smirked and tousled his hair, exuding arrogance.
The meaning was clear—they were invincible!
…
By evening, the matches ended. All academy students could choose to leave for leisure or rest in the Douluo Arena lounge.
At that moment, a sneaky figure slipped out of the Douluo Arena, ran to the outer city, and entered a decent-looking brothel.
Unlike Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun didn't have much money, so he only indulged in a slightly larger brothel.
Without Xiao Hong, he naturally informed his other two eunuch friends, otherwise he'd lose face entirely.
Inside, Ma Hongjun paid and led a fairly attractive woman into a room.
Soon, the lights went out, and Ma Hongjun used a black cloth to blindfold the woman, embarrassed.
After the lights went out, there was no movement, nor any sound of excitement.
The woman waited for a while, feeling someone rubbing something, a bit warm, but nothing else, so she ignored it.
After just a couple of rubs, it stopped. Then she heard a door open and close.
After waiting, she became anxious. Are we not going to do anything?
Still, following the principle that the customer is king, she softly asked:"Sir… are you still here?"
After a long silence, she tore off the blindfold and found the room empty.
"Strange, he paid me for nothing."
She got dressed and went downstairs.
Meanwhile, Ma Hongjun wandered around in a daze, unaware he had walked into a dead-end alley.
At the end, realizing he had taken the wrong path, he was about to turn back when a stranger in a black robe appeared before him, blocking his way.
