Chapter 954: 821, Exhibition Match, Shrek vs Martial Soul Hall_1
"Who will be the team leader among you?"
Emperor Xueye asked the few people in front of him, actually focusing only on the Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor. As for Ju Zi, this Buddha-like little girl certainly wouldn't compete with him for the position.
The Ice Emperor replied coldly and detached, "The position of team leader will definitely be held by my sister."
The Snow Emperor raised her hand and gently ruffled the Ice Emperor's hair, smilingly said, "I have no objections to whoever becomes the team leader, as long as the reward distribution we discussed at the beginning remains unchanged."
Emperor Xueye assured, "Of course, that's no problem. Our words are always our bond."
"That's good."
Emperor Xueye probed further, "So, about the team leader..."
The Snow Emperor interjected, "You can take on the role, we have no objections."
Once the roles were distributed here, Martial Soul Hall was faced with a dilemma.
Because at this moment, two people had already started to quarrel with each other.
"Let me be the team leader!"
"I should be the one!"
Tang Chen and Thousand Waves wouldn't submit to one another.
However, everyone else knew that these two were just trying to prove their leadership abilities in front of Poseissi, and they wouldn't pass up the opportunity to curry favor.
Bi Bidong, watching the two quarreling beside her, suggested, "There are 14 people here; why not decide the team leader by a direct vote? You guys won't come to any conclusion by squabbling like this."
Thousand Waves and Tang Chen immediately stopped.
Bi Bidong, acting as the mediator, said, "Those who agree with Thousand Waves, raise your hands."
Only Thousand Waves himself raised his hand, which even surprised him.
Thousand Waves first turned his questioning gaze towards his granddaughter.
Qian Renxue paid him no attention; in her view, her grandfather's intelligence had become a negative number after meeting Poseissi. If he were to lead the team, it would be the end of them.
Bi Bidong continued, "Those who agree with Tang Chen, raise your hands."
Again, only Tang Chen himself raised his hand, making Thousand Waves almost laugh his teeth off.
The two began taunting each other once more.
Bi Bidong asserted, "Those who agree with me, raise your hands."
Including Hulena, all seven members of the young Soul Masters' team promptly raised their hands.
Helpless, the team was essentially nurtured by Bi Bidong and had the best relationship with her.
Qian Renxue rolled her eyes again, "This vote is really not the least bit persuasive, but it doesn't matter; I don't care who the team leader is."
Bi Bidong turned her gaze towards her, "You, won't vote for me?"
The look held a hint of a threat.
Perhaps recalling some terrifying memories, Qian Renxue silently raised her little hand and forced a few dry laughs on her face.
Bi Bidong nodded with satisfaction.
Time quickly reached noon, and sitting on the stage, Senior Lin Yi said, "Have you all familiarized yourselves internally? The team leader should be chosen too, right?"
The squads below responded one after another, indicating they were ready.
Senior Lin Yi announced, "This afternoon there will be an exhibition match, which can be considered a buffer before the formal competition starts. All team leaders, please come up and draw lots. Those who draw a red ball will be the opposing teams for this afternoon's exhibition match."
After his words, he placed an opaque box beside him, and team leaders walked up to the stage one after another.
To Senior Lin Yi's surprise, Shrek's squad had actually chosen Tang San as the team leader, which was quite rare for a squad to select a young Soul Master as team leader.
Tang San approached Senior Lin Yi and observed him at close range before placing his hand into the box. He unexpectedly pulled out a red ball.
Senior Lin Yi announced, "One of the teams is confirmed; it is Shrek's squad."
Tang San furrowed his brows; he hadn't expected his luck to be so poor.
To call it an exhibition match, when others would be watching while the losing side suffered.
He could only hope that the other team wouldn't be one of those three groups already from Soul City.
Gu Yuena also stretched her hand into the box, and what she pulled out was a white ball. She muttered in a frustrated tone, "How boring."
One by one, the captains came up, all drawing white balls, until Bi Bidong came forward to draw. The ball she pulled out was a red one.
Tang San's expression turned stiff as the ball slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.
Although their own camp's special invitees were seven Titled Douluo, on the Martial Soul Hall's side, there were four Ultimate Douluo...
And one ferocious beast, a Bi Bidong, and a Qian Renxue with unknown strength...
At this moment, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao turned their gaze towards their grandfather Tang Chen, their expressions somewhat complex.
They definitely wouldn't fight their own grandfather, but they wondered if their grandfather would beat them up.
Bi Bidong cast a glance at Tang Hao's team and tossed the red ball onto the ground with a cold laugh.
"Looks like I'll be crushing someone again, what a bore."
Tang San looked at the red ball rolling on the ground and silently clenched his fist.
This exhibition match was more like a battle of sworn enemies!
No matter what, even if they lose this match, they must fight until the very last moment! If they must lose, they would lose with some grandeur!
Tang San felt hatred towards Bi Bidong, and wasn't Tang Hao the same?
But if they fought seriously today, would it affect the official matches later on?
Tang Hao said, "May I ask when the official competition will take place?"
Lin Yi said, "Tomorrow. But don't worry, even if you die in combat today, I can resurrect you, and besides, there are very powerful healing experts here." He finished speaking and looked towards Bi Ji, who hadn't yet realized Lin Yi was referring to her.
"If that's the case..."
Tang Hao looked towards Tang Xiao, and at that moment, Tang San also turned around.
He looked at his teammates. "Everyone, let's try to make this match a beautiful one, even if just for the honor of Shrek."
Ning Rongrong wasn't listening; she was only concerned about her father's affairs at the moment.
Moreover, the feud Tang San's family had with Martial Soul Hall was their own, not hers. She didn't have such a strong competitive spirit.
Lin Yi said to Bi Bidong, "Open up the Martial Soul Hall, then. The subsequent matches will be held there."
Bi Bidong nodded respectfully, then turned her gaze to the Gua Sha Masters present, "And what about them?"
Lin Yi replied, "They can watch."
Upon hearing this, the Gua Sha Masters immediately became excited, shouting in chorus, "Long live Senior Lin Yi!"
"Long live Senior Lin Yi!!"
Bi Bidong's mouth twitched slightly, only thinking that it was fortunate the space inside Martial Soul Hall was big enough to accommodate so many people.
Bi Bidong said, "Then please, everyone move to the Martial Soul Hall, where guest rooms will be prepared for you."
Her words were directed at all the competitors; the Gua Sha Masters weren't so fortunate to have rooms in Martial Soul Hall.
Lin Yi also stepped down, with Bi Bidong meeting him with great respect and slightly leading the way for Lin Yi.
"Senior Lin Yi, where would you like to stay? The Worship Hall or Pontiff Hall?"
Lin Yi replied, "Whichever is closer."
Bi Bidong's heart leaped with joy, quickly saying, "Then it will be Pontiff Hall. I will arrange for servants to prepare a room for Senior."
Lin Yi said, "Good, thank you for the trouble."
"Not at all!"
Qian Renxue overheard this and felt suspicious of Bi Bidong's intentions.
Just then, another voice spoke up.
Gu Yuena said, "My room will be next to Lin Yi's."
