Liu Erlong withdrew her leg, which was capable of crushing rock, snorted coldly, and stood to the side.
Although she had stopped, her phoenix eyes remained fixed on the Shrek Group, full of warning.
Flender and the others rushed forward, scrambling to lift the unconscious Ma Hongjun.
Yu Xiaogang sighed softly, stepped forward, and said to Liu Erlong, "Erlong, we actually came here for another matter this time."
"Speak." Liu Erlong's tone remained stiff.
Yu Xiaogang said, "You should know that the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament is about to begin. Our Shrek Academy... wants to borrow your Blue Tyrant Academy's entry quota."
Liu Erlong raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
She found a chair, sat down, and casually crossed her legs.
This movement made her already breathtaking curves appear even more alluring.
The fire-red leather pants tightly wrapped around her round, firm buttocks, stretching out a perfect arc.
Her pair of long, straight, beautiful legs were crossed, the lines smooth and full of power.
The red high-heeled leather boots on her feet accentuated her slender ankles to the fullest, and her soft, jade-like feet outlined an enticing shape within the boots.
She was silent for a moment, then finally nodded.
"Fine."
A trace of joy appeared on Yu Xiaogang's face.
"However,"
Liu Erlong changed the subject and pointed at Lu Ming, who was standing behind her, "I also have a condition."
"This is my adopted son, Lu Ming, and also my personal disciple. I hope he can also participate in this tournament as a team member."
As soon as these words were spoken, the Shrek Group all cast their gazes toward Lu Ming.
Lu Ming's expression was calm, and he accepted their scrutiny with composure.
Dressed in white, with a tall and straight figure, handsome features, and a calm temperament, he seemed completely out of place with his surroundings.
However, the eyes of the Shrek Group were filled with undisguised opposition and contempt.
"I'm afraid that won't work."
Dai Mubai spoke first; as a Star Luo Prince, he naturally possessed a sense of arrogance.
"Our Shrek Team has exactly seven spots, no more, no less."
Yu Xiaogang also looked troubled. He looked at Liu Erlong and said cautiously, "Erlong, it's not that I don't want to give you face."
"It's just that these seven students of our academy are all proud children of heaven, and their coordination is already tacit. This matter... is indeed very difficult to handle."
"That's right,"
Oscar also chimed in, "Our Shrek only accepts monsters, not ordinary people."
As he spoke, his chin was slightly raised, and his face carried an inherent sense of superiority.
The Shrek Group all wore proud expressions on their faces.
Monsters.
This was how they defined themselves, and it was a label they were proud of.
They seemed to feel that this word represented their superiority over others.
"I actually have a good idea."
Tang San suddenly spoke, looking thoughtful.
"We can let him be our substitute member."
As soon as he said this, it was as if he had bestowed a great favor upon Lu Ming.
"A substitute?"
Dai Mubai chuckled upon hearing this, shook his head, and said:
"You think too highly of him. A substitute for our Shrek Team isn't something just anyone can be."
Zhu Zhuqing stood to the side, saying nothing.
Her pretty face was still covered in a layer of frost, her eyes clear and indifferent, as if everything happening before her had nothing to do with her.
Extremely cold and aloof, everything left unsaid.
Lu Ming looked at her, and a playful smile unconsciously tugged at the corner of his mouth.
This little cat, she's putting on quite a convincing act.
On the assessment field, she is the unattainable ice goddess.
But in the Chat Group, she is [My Cat is White and Big], who humbly begs for tips with photos of her beautiful legs.
I really wonder, once she finds out my true identity, whether she will still be able to maintain this cold and aloof expression on her face.
Probably... it will be exceptionally rich, right?
Dai Mubai, Oscar, and the others, considering themselves geniuses, behaved with their noses in the air.
They could easily defeat the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team, let alone a mere student from the obscure Blue Tyrant Academy.
If it weren't for Liu Erlong's sake, and if they didn't need to borrow the Blue Tyrant Academy's quota, they wouldn't even have considered letting Lu Ming be a substitute.
Yu Xiaogang looked at Liu Erlong and asked, "Erlong, what do you think about this?"
Liu Erlong's brows furrowed deeply.
Let her Ming'er, her personal disciple, be a substitute for this bunch of ignorant brats?
What a joke!
"No!"
She flatly refused.
Just as the atmosphere reached an impasse again, Lu Ming, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.
His voice was very flat, with no discernible emotion.
"I don't want to join the Shrek Team either."
He looked around at these so-called "monsters" in front of him and said indifferently:
"You think you are monsters, but in my eyes, you're just so-so."
Lu Ming knew clearly that if not for the help of Immortal Herbs, among the people in front of him, absolutely no more than three could ever reach the level of Titled Douluo.
The rest, at best, would only be Spirit Douluo.
Monsters?
How laughable.
After saying this, he no longer paid attention to the shocked, angry, and disdainful gazes of the Shrek Group.
He turned around and gave Liu Erlong a gentle smile.
"I'll head back first."
As his voice fell, he took a step and walked toward the outside of the assessment field without looking back.
That composure and indifference made it seem as if his previous words were just a casual comment on the scenery by the side of the road.
Lu Ming turned and left.
His back view was dashing, his gait composed.
Inside the assessment field, the Shrek Group exploded.
"He... what did he just say?"
Oscar stammered.
Anger erupted in Dai Mubai's evil eyes, and he clenched his fists, making them crackle.
"He said we... were just so-so?"
Dai Mubai's face turned red with anger, and he said indignantly:
"Who does he think he is! A guy who hasn't even shown his spirit ring, what right does he have to evaluate us like that!"
"Exactly! Just an ordinary student from the Blue Tyrant Academy, but he's got quite an attitude!"
They were monsters, they were geniuses!
Along the way, they had only heard praise and admiration; when had they ever been treated with such contempt?
Especially since these words came from an "ordinary person" they completely looked down upon.
This was even more painful than being slapped in the face!
Tang San's face was so gloomy it could almost drip water.
In his eyes, a faint red light flickered, and an irrepressible killing intent began to permeate from his body.
"You have already embarked on the path to death!"
He said word by word, his voice filled with a bone-chilling coldness.
In his view, Lu Ming had not only insulted him and Shrek, but also Xiao Wu, who was by his side!
This was something he absolutely could not tolerate.
Since Lu Ming didn't give him face.
Then don't blame him for being ruthless!
Tang San was looking forward to seeing the other party begging for mercy.
Let's see if he can still be so arrogant!
