Chapter 46 Grand Meeting
Shrek Academy's exclusive conference room.

A long table stands in the middle of the conference room. Although it is called a conference room, it actually looks more like a restaurant.

Especially as the team leader Wang Yan, who already had champagne in one hand and steak in the other, it tasted even better after eating.

Compared with the lifeless others, Wang Yan's smile formed a sharp contrast.

Contentment and lack of pressure were written all over his face.

"Um?!"

"Are you all so depressed? There's no need to be nervous. It's just that the first round of the game will be moved forward to after the opening ceremony. Just relax!"

"Ah?!"

Several people were stunned.

They didn't expect that Wang Yan was not nervous at all.

Wang Yan then explained: "We at Shrek Academy have the strongest students in the entire continent, and you are all elites selected from the elites who entered Shrek Academy. What do you have to be afraid of?"

"Not all academies are called Shrek Academy! Your opponents are much weaker than you think, otherwise why don't they come to Shrek? Don't they want to? They are not worthy!"

"You are invincible among your peers. What do you have to be afraid of? Just relax and perform at your normal level, and this competition will be a piece of cake."

"By the way, Shrek Academy said there will be no reinforcements. We can only rely on you guys for this Soul Fighting Competition!"

Wang Yan is at the last stage of his speech.

Brought up the fact that Shrek Academy had no reinforcements.

This means the first half of this fighting spirit competition.

They can only rely on seven reserve men!
Although Wang Yan's words were full of lightness, they still brought invisible pressure.

At this time, Lin Luyu noticed Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng and Ling Luochen beside Wang Yan. The three of them were either wearing plaster or bandages.

Thinking back to the strange words that had happened before, she immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Wait! What happened? How did you get so badly injured, Ma? And what about the other seniors? Where did they go?"

The crowd had no intention of hiding anything, and after Lin Lu asked them, they told them everything that had happened.

"What?! You said that all the players on the regular team are injured, and we can only rely on the reserve team for the next game?"

Li Xingyi made an expression of extreme shock and shouted with great emotion.

Wang Yan waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, don't worry. Have you forgotten what I just said? It's no big deal. As long as you perform normally, we are super strong!"

Everyone forced out a 'sincere' smile.

"Yeah, we were really nervous."

"Teacher Wang has said so, so let's not overthink it. Being overly nervous will only lead to poor performance."

"That's right, tomorrow we're going to show off our skills!"

Then, Wang Yan stood up and pushed over a blackboard, which was covered with densely written words.

"Let me introduce the rules of this competition to you. In order to test the comprehensive strength of each academy, the rules of the fighting spirit competition are often changed, and they are constantly improved, detailed, and flexible..."

This year's fighting spirit competition is mainly divided into two major stages.

The first stage is the knockout stage. There is only one way to play, which is a seven-on-seven team battle. One game determines the winner, and the losing group will be directly eliminated.

The second stage is a round-robin tournament, which is divided into several small stages. In each small stage, one or several are randomly selected from "single elimination, three-two-two coordinated operations, and seven-on-seven team battles".

In addition, there are countless small rules...

"Okay, then Teacher Wang Yan, let's go back and rest first!"

"Well, have a good rest, and we'll see you tomorrow!"

Although they said they were taking a rest, everyone still seized every minute and every second to improve themselves in preparation for tomorrow's game.

They are the famous Shrek Academy. If anyone is eliminated in the first round of the first stage, the reputation of the academy will be ruined.

In order to avoid being eliminated in the first round, other colleges will definitely go all out with regular players. This puts a lot of pressure on the six reserve players of Shrek College.

As for Li Xingyi...

While everyone was practicing, he quietly left the Star King Hotel and walked straight towards the Star Luo Palace.

……

At the same time, inside the conference room.

After the seven reservists left, Wang Yan breathed a sigh of relief and put aside his relaxed disguise.

"Wow! Fortunately I made it through! Xiaotao, did I not show any nervousness just now?"

Ma Xiaotao rolled her eyes at Wang Yan and said speechlessly, "No, that's right, but why are you doing this, Teacher Wang Yan? They are just a bunch of kids, how can they not be nervous!"

"I can't help it. I just want to reduce their pressure as much as possible. If not, I'm afraid our team will have no morale at all tomorrow!"

Wang Yan looked at the three people with concern and spoke again: "By the way, how are your injuries? How long will it take for them to heal?"

The three sighed and spoke one after another.

Ling Luochen: "I am the one with the lightest injuries. I will be able to recover in about ten days."

Ma Xiaotao: "Fifteen days! I will be almost fully recovered in fifteen days."

Dai Yueheng: "I will be able to compete after about 17 days of recovery."

In an instant, Wang Yan felt his heart dead.

It’s useless, it’s useless, it’s completely useless now.

"What should we do? We have to wait until the fourth elimination match at least. How can we survive the first three matches without reinforcements..."

"Forget it. Now we can only hope that the seven of them can win the first game. It would be too embarrassing if they were eliminated in the first round..."

Amid the endless chatter at the dinner, Ma Xiaotao and the other two quietly walked out of the meeting room.

He went back to his room to heal his wounds.

……

Star Luo Empire Palace.

Li Xing held the token given by the emperor in one hand and walked in through the main gate easily.

Today is the day before the Fighting Spirit Competition. According to convention, the country selected to host the competition should hold a grand event in the main hall. In the event, all kinds of rare treasures can be described as endless. More importantly, nobles from all sides will come to give gifts.

The Li family naturally had to send it as well, but Li's father and mother were very busy now, so the matter fell on Li Xingyi's shoulders.

As soon as Li Xingyi walked into the main hall, the people inside almost simultaneously locked their eyes on him.

"Who is this person?"

"I don't know, haven't you seen it?"

"It should be the child of some minor noble, otherwise I would not have seen him before."

"..."

Li Xingyi ignored them and kept walking forward.

"Huh? Doesn't this kid know any rules?"

"Yeah, you didn't even know how to hand the gift to your father-in-law!"

According to the unspoken rules.

The higher the status, the more forward his position will be, which means the closer he will be to the emperor's throne.

The Li family was in the second row, just behind the Duke of White Tiger and Duke of Ice Pole in the first row...
