In the past few days, most of the team battles in the Soul Fighting Arena involved a few Spirit Elders leading several high-level Spirit Grandmasters, leaving no opportunity for Xiao Tian to act.
"Supervisor Ao, doesn't your Soul Fighting Arena have any stronger teams? You can't just keep me as a substitute, can you? I feel guilty taking the points like this."
Supervisor Ao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, a smile on his face: "Little fellow, don't be anxious. I've already sent a request to headquarters. It's said that a team, composed entirely of Spirit Elders and possessing optimal spirit rings just like yours, has departed from Heaven Dou City and is expected to arrive in the next two days."
"Oh, a team specifically coming from Heaven Dou City? Could you elaborate?" Yu Xiaogang walked over, frowning as he spoke.
Teams from Heaven Dou City generally aren't weak, and most of them are backed by some powerful nobles. Why would they specifically travel to Soto City?
Isn't that a bit of a roundabout way?
Supervisor Ao said apologetically: "Sorry, Grandmaster, I cannot disclose information about that team at this time. The only thing I can say is that their captain possesses one of the continent's top Beast Spirits, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit!"
Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit?
And they're coming from Heaven Dou City?
Yu Xiaogang nodded in thanks for Supervisor Ao's hint; he knew who it was.
Although he had left his Sect for a long time, he still paid attention to the several major patriarch candidates within his Sect. One of them was in Heaven Dou Royal Academy!
Now was the opportunity. If their Shrek Academy wanted to participate in the Soul Master Competition a little over a year from now, they would need certification from a high-level Spirit Master academy, and Heaven Dou Royal Academy was a good choice!
However, there was one thing that gave him a headache: the conflict within the team was growing. It was very clear that Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others were at odds with Xiao Tian.
This was secondary. The crucial point was that Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and even Zhu Zhuqing, the three girls, were very close to Xiao Tian!
Xiao Wu was the person Tang San liked, while Flender intentionally tried to set up Oscar and Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai even had an engagement!
Coupled with the fact that Xiao Tian received so many points without even participating in these few team battles, Tang San and the others grew even more dissatisfied!
It was only because Chen Xin was here that Tang San and the others, out of consideration for Chen Xin's Titled Douluo strength, dared not make a move.
When Xiao Tian heard the news revealed by Supervisor Ao, he also had some guesses. It seemed his arrival had created a butterfly effect, causing the Royal Fight Team to arrive early.
This was good too. After interacting with the Royal Fight Team, he could prepare to leave Shrek Academy.
If it weren't for the purpose of getting to know Dugu Yan to facilitate connecting with Dugu Bo later, he would have already left with Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and the others, following Grandpa Sword.
These past few days, he had also felt the dissatisfaction of Tang San and the others towards him. A large part of it came from the three girls, but this just gave him a reason to leave the academy!
Besides, it was their own lack of strength that failed to attract the three girls; what did that have to do with him?
"Xiao Tian, are you sure you're not leaving Shrek yet? I can see that the main reason Tang San and the others aren't making a move against you right now is because I'm still here. Even if you have conflicts, they won't dare go too far."
After participating in tonight's team battle, Chen Xin and Xiao Tian walked at the forefront, and Chen Xin transmitted his voice to Xiao Tian.
"Since Grandpa Sword knows the reason, why don't you find a reason to pretend to leave tomorrow? I guess after you leave, and after a few more team battles, our conflict will erupt!"
Xiao Tian responded calmly.
"Oh? It seems you already have a plan, huh? That team is from Heaven Dou City, and their captain is said to have the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit. You wouldn't be thinking of using this opportunity to join Heaven Dou Royal Academy, would you?"
As someone who frequently entered the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace with Ning Fengzhi, he naturally had some understanding of the powerful students at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Among them was a Heaven Dou First Team, formed in advance for the next Soul Master Competition.
It perfectly matched the information revealed by Supervisor Ao: the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit, and a Spirit Elder. That could only mean one possibility: Yu Tianheng, the captain of Heaven Dou Royal Academy's First Team!
"I do have that intention. After all, if we want to participate in the upcoming Soul Master Elite Competition, we must change academies. Grandpa Sword, you know that Shrek Academy is not certified by the Empire or any Sect, so it cannot register for the competition."
"But Xiao Tian, I need to remind you of something: that person is from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and I've also guessed who it is. Yu Xiaogang is considered his uncle, so your idea won't work."
Chen Xin told Xiao Tian what he knew, then continued: "If you want to join Heaven Dou Royal Academy, it's actually very simple. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can directly introduce you. That way, even if you are a commoner, there won't be too much of a problem."
Xiao Tian chuckled to himself. Chen Xin had only guessed half correctly. His main purpose was to get in touch with Dugu Yan, and as for going to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he had originally intended for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to recommend him.
After all, Ning Rongrong would definitely be leaving with them at that time, and they needed a destination.
"Alright, then I'll trouble Grandpa Sword when the time comes!"
Xiao Tian looked triumphant, like a little fox, and chuckled.
"You brat, you were deliberately waiting for me here, weren't you!"
Chen Xin only realized this when he saw Xiao Tian's smile.
Xiao Tian put away his smile and said, "Hehe, Grandpa Sword, don't mind it. You don't want Rongrong to be separated from us later, do you? Heaven Dou Royal Academy is the best choice right now.
Oh, right. If we fall out with Tang San later, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can still go to him to buy Godly Zhuge Crossbows. After all, it's just a simple cooperative relationship, it shouldn't be a hindrance. This is also what I told you before: cooperation is cooperation, don't get too close, otherwise, it's very likely that others will take advantage of you later."
Chen Xin then realized that Xiao Tian had already calculated the retreat for him and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. This couldn't help but remind Chen Xin of Fengzhi negotiating with others—both were cunning old foxes!
Xiao Tian: Don't compare Ning Fengzhi with himself. Just because he wanted to get closer to Tang San, he bought the Hidden Weapons made by Tang San at a high price. Is this still the conduct a merchant should have?
As the saying goes, in business, talk business. If you want to do someone a favor, it should be in another form!
Moreover, when Xiao Tian thought about how Ning Fengzhi, in order to side with Tang San, almost caused the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to be destroyed and its people annihilated!
And afterwards, he even thanked Tang San, saying that if it weren't for the Godly Zhuge Crossbows, their Sect would definitely have been wiped out just like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!
It could be said that to curry favor with Tang San, he even abandoned his dignity.
You should know that those Hidden Weapons were bought by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School with real money at a high price. Was it necessary to be so humble?!
