Chapter 272 Glory Above All Else!
After completing the registration process, Shrek and his group reunited.
Although Shrek did not win the championship in the previous competition, they still made it to the finals and won the runner-up title. Given their past achievements, Mingyue Hotel still arranged a top-floor room for them.
However, they were not proud of their runner-up finish; on the contrary, they regarded it as a disgrace, especially Beibei and the other team members who had participated in the previous competition.
What saddened and angered Beibei even more was that of the previous reserve team, only three remained this year.
He Caitou and Jiang Nannan died in battle. Xu Sanshi left in sorrow with Jiang Nannan's remains, while Huo Yuhao became a coward who crossed the river in white, with the words "betrayal" and "stabber" written on his face.
If you're wondering how Bei Bei knew Huo Yuhao had the peaches, well...
Of course, I witnessed it with my own eyes after entering Mingdu and seeing Huo Yuhao standing with the group from the Body Sect.
No one knows what Bei Bei was thinking when he saw Huo Yuhao and the group from the Body Sect chatting and laughing while eating and drinking on the top floor of the Mingyue Hotel. Besides him, Huo Yuhao was the first person to join the Tang Sect after the calamity, and he and Tang Ya had personally invited him in.
Looking back now, the scene of him opening up the Xuan Tian Gong's circulation path for Huo Yuhao for the first time seems so ironic and laughable.
Even after discovering that Huo Yuhao had disappeared, Bei Bei's first thought was not that Huo Yuhao had gone elsewhere, but that he had encountered some inescapable situation that prevented him from returning to Shrek Academy to participate in the competition. Now he felt that all his trust had been wasted.
When they reunited in the conference room, everyone remained silent, except for Dai Huabin, who had always clashed with Huo Yuhao, who crossed his arms and sneered.
"Some people, even if they get lucky and become rich overnight, they still can't change their rotten nature and their despicable lowliness!" Dai Huabin sneered. He was no longer just making veiled criticisms; everyone present could tell who he was targeting.
Besides Bei Bei, Wang Dong'er, and Xiao Xiao, who were the original members from the previous year, the new additions to this year's Shrek Seven Devils are Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Ning Tian, and Xie Huanyue, all of whom are from Huo Yuhao's year.
Even though they weren't close friends, they were aware of the conflict between Huo Yuhao and Dai Huabin.
Wang Dong'er, who knew the inside story, understood that Dai Huabin was Huo Yuhao's mother's killer. Even those who didn't know the inside story were aware of the irreconcilable enmity between them.
It's no surprise that Dai Huabin openly mocked them.
Apart from Wang Dong'er glaring angrily at Dai Huabin, even Xiao Xiao remained silent, showing no intention of standing up for Huo Yuhao.
The rat's actions this time were really underhanded.
He left Shrek Academy without saying goodbye to anyone. He was fine one day and left without a word the next. This was why Bei Bei hadn't thought about the peaches of immortality before. They even worried about Huo Yuhao for a long time.
Because of Huo Yuhao's disappearance, the Shrek Seven Devils had more than one conflict during their time as a team.
Bei Bei and the other two believed that Huo Yuhao was temporarily tied up and unable to return, but would definitely rejoin the team before the competition began. Dai Huabin and the others, however, thought that Huo Yuhao definitely wouldn't be coming back, and they couldn't let him occupy the position without doing anything; the vacancy of the Shrek Seven Devils had to be filled.
This matter even reached the higher-ups at the academy, and in the end, the Shrek Academy leadership definitely sided with Dai Huabin.
Without him.
Huo Yuhao is indeed highly talented, but that is not a reason for his absence. In the previous competition, Shrek Academy suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Sun Moon Team. This time, they are taking the competition more seriously than ever before, determined to reclaim their glory from the Sun Moon Team.
Shrek's glory is above all else!
Therefore, from any perspective, no one could find any words to refute Dai Huabin's direct criticism. In fact, the others had already lost faith in Huo Yuhao and had no intention of defending him.
Dai Huabin, who had finally won a game, was a little disheartened when he saw that no one was around to lane against him.
"When we meet in the competition, I want to see what kind of power he gained at the cost of betrayal!" Dai Huabin left the conference room with his head held high, like a victorious rooster.
Zhu Lu, who was the White Tiger Clan's designated plugin, followed closely behind him.
However, everyone, including Dai Huabin himself, knew that he was no match for Huo Yuhao at all. This was the authority that Huo had built up over the years through his relentless suppression of him.
But like that classic stubborn and brainless villain, no matter how many times he suffers losses at Huo Yuhao's hands, he still refuses to admit defeat.
Even when he was beaten black and blue, covered in bumps, he still kept spouting vulgarities like "lowly commoner" and "bastard." Even if he were beaten to death and cremated, his mouth would probably still be hard.
If this isn't love—
However, Dai Huabin's courage wasn't entirely empty talk. His disdain for Huo Yuhao was a natural contempt that nobles held for commoners, just like the avalanche back then. His playboy behavior didn't diminish his extraordinary wisdom. Although he was unwilling to admit it, Dai Huabin knew that he was no match for Huo Yuhao.
He can talk big without thinking, and it's even said that Beibei gave him the courage.
The power of the Soul Saint-level Light Holy Dragon Soul Master was so great that it left Dai Huabin speechless and in tears. If the weakened Huo Yuhao still gave him a glimpse of the edge of catching up, then Bei Bei, who had unleashed the Holy Dragon True Form, was so powerful that it almost made him despair.
After consuming the Dragon Pill, Bei Bei also absorbed a seventh spirit ring produced by a top-tier sub-dragon spirit beast, making her strength more than double that of the original story.
The more powerful a Soul Master's Martial Soul, the more exaggerated the increase in combat power after obtaining the Seven-Ring Martial Soul True Form.
Putting aside everything else, ten thousand years ago, in terms of the strength of martial souls, the White Tiger martial soul was completely overwhelmed by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. If you were to ask about the number one offensive beast martial soul in the world of soul masters, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon would be the undisputed answer. The Dragon Transformation Secret Technique and the True Dragon Nine Crowns were things that the White Tiger Dai family could only dream of but never attain.
If the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex is like this, let alone the Holy Light Dragon, which is a level higher.
The Holy Dragon of Light at the Soul Saint realm is simply outrageously strong, making Dai Huabin extremely jealous. The good news is that they are teammates. Huo Yuhao, who used to be very close to Bei Bei, is now on the opposite side!
Dai Huabin refused to believe that Bei Bei could refrain from taking action against a traitor like Huo Yuhao.
He'll handle the trash talk, but let Bei Bei handle the beating up of Lao Huo. He'll cheer him on from behind, and if necessary, he might even step in and kick him a couple of times!
