Chapter 104 Starlight Auction, Snow Empress?
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yan Shaozhe approached the lottery bucket step by step and began to draw lots.
To be honest, although he had always acted calmly, he was actually a little nervous inside.
After all, this draw could very well directly affect whether Shrek Academy can ultimately compete for second place.
Although it doesn't sound good to say it out loud.
But Shrek Academy really needs this runner-up right now.
Therefore, Yan Shaozhe was genuinely nervous at this moment, as he was afraid of being drawn into the same A region as the Sun and Moon Royal Team.
only...
After all, he was the dean of the Martial Soul Department at Shrek Academy, so Yan Shaozhe knew he had to be careful about the impact.
Even if you're very nervous, you can't show it.
So at least on the surface, he maintained a calm and collected demeanor and quickly completed the draw.
"Shrek Team, Group 2, Area B!"
Soon, the person in charge read out Yan Shaozhe's draw result after seeing the contents of the draw.
Upon hearing the result, Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"At least we escaped unscathed..."
He quickly returned to the preparation area.
When he arrived at the preparation area, the Shrek Academy students couldn't help but cheer with joy.
Ma Xiaotao: "Teacher, you have such good luck!"
Dai Yueheng: "We weren't drawn into the same half of the bracket as Sun Moon Royal Team, so it looks like we're all set now."
Chen Zifeng: "Yes, after all, apart from the Sun and Moon Royal Team 1, no other team is our opponent. It seems that we can finally keep this runner-up position."
"...."
They were all very fortunate about this.
Then they continued to wait in the same spot.
A moment later, Liu Yuan went up on stage again to draw lots.
This time he drew the second team's draw.
He drew the lots quickly, after all, he had done everything he could. If the two teams were drawn into the same half of the bracket, it would just be bad luck, and there was nothing to say about it.
So he didn't have much of a burden.
He quickly completed the lottery and handed the lot to the person in charge.
The person in charge glanced at the contents and quickly read out the result.
"Sun & Moon Royal Team 2, Area B, Group 1!"
He quickly walked back towards the preparation area.
On the other side, on the Shrek team's side, Dai Yueheng sighed with regret when he discovered that Liu Yuan hadn't drawn both teams into the same half of the bracket.
"It's such a pity. If both teams of the Sun and Moon Royal Team were in the same region, they would have been forced to fight each other, and only one of them would advance!"
Ma Xiaotao confidently replied, "It doesn't matter, I'll take action!"
"Even if they didn't get drawn into one of the brackets, the Sun & Moon Royal Team's second team still couldn't avoid being eliminated. Because in the end, only we could advance from that bracket!"
Ma Xiaotao's tone became somewhat cold when she got to this point.
After all, they had previously lost to the Sun & Moon Royal Team 1.
Even though the other side defeated them fair and square, they couldn't say anything.
But having lost to the Sun and Moon Royal Team, they still harbored some resentment.
Although they now admit that they are not strong enough to settle scores with the Sun and Moon Royal Team 1.
But the second team is not as strong as them, so they will be able to take advantage of them and vent their anger, right?
The strong prey on the weak, and only the fittest survive! That's just how the world is! The strong are meant to ruthlessly humiliate the weak.
Therefore, many of them are already thinking about venting their anger by beating up the second team of the Sun and Moon Royal team in the upcoming matches.
"It seems everyone is very motivated!"
Yan Shaozhe was quite satisfied with the scene before him.
What he feared most was that the Shrek team's students would lose their edge because of their previous defeats.
Judging from their current situation, they are still very confident, which makes Yan Shaozhe feel very gratified.
"Hehehe, it seems that in the upcoming matches, the Sun Moon Royal Team's second squad will have to become the target of our Shrek Team's venting..."
On the other side...
On the Sun and Moon Royal Team's second team side, they also noticed that everyone from Shrek Academy was acting extremely smug.
Many people are actually quite unhappy about this.
Especially someone like Wang Dong'er, who couldn't contain herself: "Hmph, what's there to be so smug about, a defeated opponent?"
"They're so arrogant before the game even starts. Do they really think our second team is no match for them?"
However, Ma Rulong and the others were a few years older than Wang Dong'er, so they were much more composed.
They weren't bothered at all by the other party's smugness.
On the contrary, we are very happy to see this kind of thing happen.
So when Wang Dong'er felt indignant about this, Ma Rulong spoke up to comfort her: "It's okay, Dong'er."
"To destroy your enemy, you must first inflate their ego!"
"Aren't they full of confidence right now? Let them be smug for a few days."
"When they run into us in the competition, they'll know they're in trouble."
"Catch them completely off guard."
Meng Hongchen, standing to the side, chimed in, "Yes! No rush. The more smug they are now, the worse they'll be later."
"It doesn't matter."
Wang Dong'er calmed down after hearing what they said.
They then waited for the next draw, which was soon completed.
There's no need to say much about the Shrek team's first team.
In any case, no matter who comes, they are no match for them.
As for the second team, their first-round opponent was not Shrek Academy, but the Douling Empire team.
After learning the result, all the students turned their gazes to Liu Yuan, who smiled and said, "You have the ability, but you're not strong. Just play normally tomorrow, don't use 'that'."
The students nodded knowingly.
Following the conclusion of today's draw, all the audience members left the venue.
Liu Yuan also left the scene directly.
Afterwards, he took the students back to the hotel to continue enjoying delicious food and drinks.
The atmosphere was wonderful.
After they finished eating, Xiao Xiao ran up to Liu Yuan and asked, "Teacher, I heard there's a top-tier auction in Star Luo Imperial City tonight called the Starlight Auction. Shall we go check it out?"
Her eyes sparkled as she spoke, her face full of anticipation; she clearly really wanted to go.
Liu Yuan has always doted on Xiao Xiao.
Since she wants to go, then let's take her and the other disciples for a stroll.
Moreover, if Liu Yuan remembers correctly, the egg that the Snow Empress transformed into in the original work also seems to appear at this auction.
"Um..."
"Go and call Bing'er over, and have him come along."
Thinking of this, Liu Yuan said to Ling Luochen, who was standing to the side.
Since it's related to the Snow Emperor, we should definitely include the Ice Emperor as well.
Xue Di is also a worthwhile target to recruit. Although she has been rebuilt, even a fallen camel is bigger than a horse.
If it could be subdued without paying any price, that would be ideal.
