26: Chapter 26 - Emperor Team

Chapter 26 - Emperor Team

___________________________

Somewhere in the outskirt of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well,

A man and a young woman can be seen having a conversation,

"Grandpa, teacher Qin planned us to go to Suotuo City's Spirit Great Arena to participate and gain more experience." The young woman said. She was a very beautiful and sexy woman with a deep purple short hair with a pair of green eyes that gave people a somewhat strange feeling.

"Oohh, then you better do a good job. And always remember what I always told you, you need to think before you act. Don't looked down on others just because you're strong and a noble." The man said with seriousness. This man was actually Dugu Bo and the young woman who he was talking to was his granddaughter Dugu Yan.

"Yes, grandpa." Dugu Yan replied.

"Ahhh, it's already three months, I still can't find the Young Lord." Dugu Bo sighed. He was still waiting and sometimes he go around the empire to find John.

"Grandfather, are you still thinking about that young man you met?" Dugu Yan asked. She was also curious by this young man his father was always talking about.

"Yeah, you must remember If somehow you see the Young Lord in your journey to Suotuo City, you must take the opportunity to talk and befriend him as he was the only person who can probably help us." Dugu Bo reprimanded Dugu Yan. He had a feeling that they will meet soon.

"Yes, grandpa." Dugu Yan said. Even though she did not see John in person but his grandfather draw a portrait of him, she was also charmed by how handsome John was. Her grandfather then told her everything happened that time when he was in his medicinal garden.

After talking for a while, Dugu Bo then stood up and said "Let's head back."

Dugu Yan then followed.

---One month later---

One month passed in a flashed. The Shrek Seven Devils' battles in the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena's fields could even be described as the wind creating the waves. In that month, the Shrek Seven Devils participated in twenty seven team fights. Twenty seven battles and twenty seven victories. Within the thirtieth ranked range, they had no competition.

Still, Shrek Seven Devils' stunning performance already garnered the Great Spirit Arena's attention, if not for their fighting spirit badge rank being too low, and thus not meeting the minimum requirements of the Central Spirit Battle Arena of at least a silver rank, perhaps they would already have been invited to participate in the Central Great Spirit Battle arena.

As the night fell, the Shrek Seven Devil's were now on their way to the Spirit Great Arena for their last match and to finally advance their rank.

Coming to the registration point as usual, Yu Xiaogang took out the Shrek Seven Devils' battle badge and presented it battle group staff, "Excuse me, I'm signing up for team battles."

The staff took the badge like always, but when he saw the words engraved on the badge, his face paled and he gasped softly, "Shrek Seven Devils?"

Yu Xiaogang wrinkled his brows and then replied "Yes.

"Sir, can you please wait a moment." The Staff then quickly left his post and ran toward the back, hands tightly clasping Shrek Seven Devils' team battle badge.

Yu Xiaogang just looked at staff and thought that there must be some trouble ahead.

Without having to wait too long, the staff member brought back another person to the registration point. The other person said "Sorry for having you wait so long."

Grandmaster had an impression of the man that the staff brought along. At that point in time when Shrek's Seven Devils participated in their first group battle in the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena, he was their host and announcer.

The man smiled and "Hello respected team leader sir, may I have a conversation with you. It will not take up too much of your time."

Grandmaster nodded his head. He had already expected this to happen, after all, Shrek Seven Devils had obtained outstanding results within this past month. Not being noticed was an impossibility.

The man then brought Yu Xiaogang into a quiet back room behind the registration point.

"I'm the manager of the Spirit Great Arena, you can call me Manager Ao. I'm representing the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena, in hopes that today, Shrek Seven Devils will participate in the Central Spirit Arena on the main stage." Manager Ao said while looking at Yu Xiaogang.

"And why is that?" Yu Xiaogang asked fully knowing the Arena's rules. He was not surprised but instead maintained a plain voice.

Manager Ao sighed and then explained all the details regarding the problem. He also shared that the caused of trouble was actually a few aristocrats who brought a Spirit Master Team in this Arena. He then explained how they caused a large loss to the Suotuo Spirit Great Arena. He hopes that the Shrek Seven Devils Team will accept as they were their only hope.

After talking for a while, Yu Xiaogang accepted with some very generous conditions but most importantly, he agreed to this fight, not for the accumulating points or money, but the experience for his students. He then asked Manager Ao to get the opponent's information and call all his students.

Manager Ao quickly turned away, obviously to report the matter of Shrek Seven Devils having agreed to participate in the spirit battle to his higher-ups and at the same time, to make the appropriate arrangements.

After a short while, not only did the staff bring all Shrek Seven Devils to the room, even Flender and Zhao Wuji were also invited over.

Yu Xiaogang calmly repeated what Manager Ao previously mentioned, at the same time, putting the recently received information flat on a table in the room.

While they were arguing and planning on how to win the battle, John on the other hand was looking at the information in the table. He saw someone familiar and then he smiled. John thought 'I never thought that it was already time for that. Let me see if somehow Dugu Bo changed Dugu Yan's attitude.'

Yu Xiaogang noticed that John was actually smiling while looking at the information. He then curiously asked "John, is there something you wanted to say?"

"Well, I am actually familiar with their Vice Captain" John answered fully knowing that he knew them all but he did not care about the others and just focused on Dugu Yan.

Yu Xiaogang then asked "You know her?"

John looked at them and then said "I didn't see her in person but I've met her Grandfather accidentally."

Yu Xiaogang and the others were shocked by John's words.

"D-Did you mean you've met the famous P-Poison Douluo Dugu Bo?" Flender suddenly asked while being surprised.

John nodded and did not continue to talk.

Flender and the other gasped as it was rare and also quite dangerous to meet a Titled Douluo. They wait for John to talk more but John just remain quiet.

Yu Xiaogang then continue talking and then let Tang San formulate the plan. John then suggested to leave Dugu Yan to him which Tang San accepted. Zhu Zhuqing on the other hand was having a different thought on her mind.

While they were having a meeting, there was also a group in VIP lounge number three who resting comfortably. There were only seven people in the room, all of them possessed clear characteristics, and appearing to be twenty years old.

The seven people in this room were precisely the members of the Emperor Team in Yu Xaiogang's group's material. Sitting in the sofa was captain Yu Tianheng and also vice captain Dugu Yan. The handsome youth was Wind Chime Bird Spirit Master Yu Feng. The black clothed man was the Ghost Leopard Spirit Master Osler. The two brothers sitting on the floor meditating were naturally the two Black Tortoise Spirit Masters. And standing in the corner was Emperor Team's auxiliary system Spirit Master, Nine Hearted Begonia Xie Lingling.

While they were waiting, the door suddenly swung open, and a person entered from outside.

This person's appearance made all the Emperor Team members spread out over the room perform the same action, even captain Yu Tianheng sitting in the sofa, even the Shi brothers sitting on the floor meditating opened their eyes. The seven people all stood up, making respectful salutes.

"Teacher Qin." All of them said.

"This time, you will perhaps meet your match. I've just received the basic information on your opponents today from the city lord. This was determined just now by Suotuo Great Spirit Arena. Have a look." While speaking, teacher Qin walked over to the sofa behind the crystal table and sat down, in his hand already holding shining cloth and silk, unfolding it on the tabletop.

Teacher Qin then explained the history of their opponent. The Emperor team were shocked too know their victories over the others but Yu Tianheng and the others still had a mocking faces when they saw their spirit ranks.

"Don't underestimate the opponent, they fight and win while having some disadvantage towards their opponent. And it was the same for us, if we don't fight them seriously, we will also lose" Dugu Yan said while being disgusted by his teammates attitude. Dugu Yan unlike the original was very different as she was honed and thought by Dugu Bo to become more humble and kind.

Teacher Qin also supported Dugu Yan while the others just became silent. Teacher Qin also said to Dugu Yan to treat their poisoning injuries after the match. They asked why because every time they hat a battle, teacher Qin always told them to strike without mercy. Teacher Qin just waved off his hind and said that he'll explain later after the match.

They were now just waiting for the match to start.

---2 hours later---

Central Main Spirit Arena,

The Central Main Spirit Arena was now full of cheers and shouts when suddenly, the spirit tool lanterns shone dazzlingly, and their brightness was spread in every direction but focused on the spirit ring, as if a an enormous golden spotlight shone down from the sky, just right to envelop the entire spirit fighting stage.

In the middle of the spirit ring, the ground suddenly buckled upwards in a two meter in diameter circle, the section slowly rising up from the stage could be seen supported by a thick golden pillar, and rising with the golden pillar right now was a young woman.

The young woman was actually the announcer of the incoming battle. Her appearance surprised the audience, loud shouts and cheers erupted while she was talking. After she the began to introduce both teams.

"Emperor Team, captain: Yu Tian-Heng, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit Master..."0

"Shrek Seven Devils team, captain: Evil Eye White Tiger, White Tiger Spirit Master..."

This white dressed young announcer very skillfully introduced both the competing teams, the purpose very simple, precisely to raise the expectations of each VIP spectator.

"Next, will the team members of both sides please take the field." The young woman announced with excitement.

After she spoke, on either side of the spirit ring, two sliding doors silently opened wide, both sides' team members simultaneously entering the venue, walking into the center of the spirit fighting stage. On the left side was Emperor Team and the right side occupied by the Shrek Seven Devils

In the center of the spirit ring, practically simultaneously, both sides with altogether fourteen people completely released their spirit power. Each of them transformed and took preparation for the upcoming battle.

While they were all focused on pressuring each other, John was actually smiling inside.
