"For the honor of Shrek?"
Flender fell silent.
He had only been interested in two things his entire life: Liu Erlong, the goddess in his heart, and the rise of Shrek.
Now that Yu Xiaogang had spoken, it resonated perfectly with Flender's deepest desires.
"Flender."
"You must remember."
"No matter what I do, I am doing it to make our Shrek Academy stronger and stronger, hoping that in the future, it can surpass the Four Element Academies, surpass the Star Luo Royal Academy, and even surpass the Spirit Hall Academy, ultimately truly rising and becoming the strongest Academy ranked first on the entire Douluo Continent."
"For this, even if it means I have to be a villain, I don't care."
Yu Xiaogang and Flender had known each other for so long that Yu Xiaogang knew exactly what Flender cared about and how to speak to get Flender's support.
"This..."
As expected, Flender, whose blood was boiling from Yu Xiaogang's impassioned speech, only hesitated for less than three seconds before apologetically looking at Ma Hongjun and Oscar and no longer speaking up for them.
Compared to the rise of Shrek Academy, Flender felt that it was not a big deal for Ma Hongjun and Oscar to suffer a little injustice; he could always give them some benefits later.
"Hongjun and Little Ao."
"Don't harbor any resentment in your hearts."
"I am not deliberately targeting you."
"This is the price that must be paid for our Shrek Academy to rise."
"If you don't believe me, look."
"I didn't even arrange a main team member spot for my own nephew, Yu Tianheng."
"You should know that when he was at the Royal Heaven Dou Academy, he was the captain of the main team."
"Now that he has come to Shrek Academy, he is not even a semi-main team member like you; instead, he is a complete substitute. Isn't he wronged?"
"No."
"He is also wronged."
"It's just that he understands the bigger picture and didn't make a fuss for his own self-interest."
"After all, as long as our Shrek Team achieves good results, the honor is shared by everyone."
Having appeased Flender, Yu Xiaogang then began to comfort Ma Hongjun and Oscar, who were standing by.
"Grandmaster."
"Don't say anymore."
"I understand."
After Yu Xiaogang used Yu Tianheng as an example, the unhappiness in Ma Hongjun's heart had vanished without a trace.
Just as Grandmaster said, even Yu Tianheng, Grandmaster's nephew, could only honestly be a substitute; what did he, a semi-main team member, have to be dissatisfied with?
"Very good."
"You are a good child who understands the bigger picture."
Yu Xiaogang was very satisfied with Ma Hongjun's attitude, praised him, and then looked at Oscar and asked, "What about you?"
"I'm of the same mind as Fatty."
Although he said that, Oscar was quite dissatisfied in his heart, but he was just a food system Spirit Master, and he could do nothing but passively accept it.
"Good, good, good."
"You are also a good child."
"Don't worry."
"I will have Flender compensate you."
Yu Xiaogang was also very happy that he could resolve the matters of Ma Hongjun and Oscar so easily.
However, just as Yu Xiaogang was about to shift his attention back to Shen Fan and Ning Rongrong and the others, intending to give Shen Fan and the girls a bowl of chicken soup as well, Shen Fan, who had watched Yu Xiaogang's deceptive act, spoke first before Yu Xiaogang could try to deceive him.
"Ahem."
"Wait a minute."
"You seem to have forgotten Yan Yan and Ye Ling."
"Yan Yan is my girlfriend."
"She definitely has to be on the same team as me."
"As for Ye Ling."
"She withdrew from the Royal Fighting Team because of Yan Yan."
"So, no matter which team I'm on, I definitely have to bring her with me."
As soon as Shen Fan said this, it poured cold water over Yu Xiaogang, who had felt that everything was under his control.
"Shen Fan."
"It's not that I'm being unfeeling."
"The strength of Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling still has some gap from the main team members."
"If they really become main team members, not to mention the number exceeding, I also cannot explain it to Yu Tianheng, Ma Hongjun, and Little Ao."
Soon, Yu Xiaogang, who had reacted, said with a frown.
Regarding Ye Lingling's Nine Hearted Blood Rose Spirit, Yu Xiaogang completely did not understand its value, and thus could not measure Ye Lingling's importance at all.
As for Dugu Yan, although he knew from Tang San that Dugu Yan's Spirit had evolved, it hadn't been long since the last match between the Shrek Team and the Royal Fighting Team, so Yu Xiaogang didn't think Dugu Yan's strength could have increased much in such a short time.
Moreover, Dugu Yan's poison was completely restrained by his disciple Tang San, which made Yu Xiaogang even less optimistic about Dugu Yan.
"Hehe."
"Grandmaster."
"You haven't even tried, so how do you know that Yan Yan and Ye Ling's strength has some gap from the so-called main team members?"
"Let's not talk about Yan Yan for now."
"Ask your good nephew, Yu Tianheng, if he thinks his role in a team is greater than Ye Ling's."
Shen Fan sneered.
"Uncle."
"Ye Ling's Nine Hearted Blood Rose Spirit can make all team members completely unafraid of injuries."
"If you really compare, the importance of two of me cannot compare to Ye Ling at all."
Seeing that Yu Xiaogang, Flender, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and the others were all looking at him, Yu Tianheng glared at Shen Fan, then organized his words and said.
"Is Ye Lingling's Spirit really that powerful?"
At this moment, what Yu Xiaogang thought of was not the role Ye Lingling could play in the team, but whether he could cure the injury in that certain place of his after Ye Lingling grew up.
After all, he could never use it, but he absolutely could not be powerless when he wanted to use it.
"Nine Hearted Blood Rose Spirit."
"If it weren't for its extreme rarity, perhaps the title of the number one auxiliary Sect in the world might not have fallen to our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
"Grandmaster."
"I remember I mentioned these things before."
At this moment, Ning Rongrong also said with a hint of playfulness.
"Of course, I remember all of that."
"Alright."
"I'll temporarily approve Ye Lingling's matter."
"Now, let's talk about Dugu Yan's matter."
"Shen Fan."
"Just now, I heard you imply that Dugu Yan's current strength has far exceeded her strength when she fought against the Shrek Team?"
Yu Xiaogang didn't want people to know that after he first heard about the Nine Hearted Blood Rose Spirit, he had researched it for a period of time and finally concluded that Ning Rongrong's evaluation of the Nine Hearted Blood Rose Spirit was an exaggeration, so he quickly changed the topic to Dugu Yan.
"Of course."
"If you don't believe me, you can have Tang San try."
Shen Fan knew that Dugu Yan disliked Tang San, so he was giving Dugu Yan an opportunity to beat up Tang San.
