DD2—Chapter 53: Xu jiawei's Plan
Wang Yan didn't want to say such things to Xu Jiawei, but he had no choice. The Shrek Academy's participating team had suffered heavy losses, and its strength had declined extremely seriously.
According to convention, the first match was the college elimination match. Ever since Shrek Academy participated in the Fighting Soul Competition, it had never been defeated in an elimination match. If such a thing happened, he and Master Xuan would indeed be completely nailed to the pillar of shame.
Now, the five reserve players who were willing to participate in the Fighting Soul Competition were all slightly injured and unable to exert their full strength. Generally speaking, the college elimination match is a seven-on-seven team battle. The seriously injured Ma Xiaotao and others could not act and could only temporarily go on the field to make up the numbers.
Under such circumstances, the strength of the Shrek Academy team can be imagined; therefore, he must do as Master Xuan said and find the organizer of this Fighting Soul Competition to seek a solution.
Xu Jiawei was stunned and felt helpless. "Teacher Wang Yan, are you sure you want to do this?"
Wang Yan said, "Your Majesty, Shrek Academy has trained a large number of excellent soul masters for the Star Luo Empire and has always had a friendly relationship with it. If we lose this competition, the glory of Shrek Academy will undoubtedly suffer a huge blow! So, please help me; this is also what Master Xuan hopes for!"
Hearing the words "Master Xuan," Xu Jiawei pondered for a while and said, "If what you want is a champion, then I can't do anything."
Wang Yan clenched his fists and said, "Your Majesty, we want to be in the top four. As long as we can be in the top four, we can barely save face for the academy. At that time, we can just explain that the academy suffered heavy losses due to the suppression of evil soul masters, which is why it failed to win the championship. I believe everyone will understand the failure of Shrek Academy!
By then, even if Shrek Academy is only in the top four, we will still be the real champions in the eyes of the audience!"
As a theoretical teacher, it was good enough for him to say this. Although he was dissatisfied with Xuan Zi, he had no dissatisfaction with the academy. Moreover, he was Shrek's teacher and was paid by Shrek Academy, so he must speak for it outside!
Xu Jiawei sighed, nodded, and said, "Okay, I promise you. I will secretly adjust the team for you and do my best to ensure that the teams Shrek Academy encounters in the early stages are weak. However, when the competition reaches a certain level, the teams that remain will no longer be weak."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help. I will take my leave now!" After Wang Yan said this, he left immediately.
Xu Jiawei looked at Wang Yan's back and fell into thought. "If they want to secretly manipulate the game and assign weak teams to Shrek Academy, then they can only assign the strong teams to the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy. However, with such obvious favoritism, the people of Sun Moon will notice."
"However, this is also an opportunity. In this competition, Shrek is so weak that maybe the Star Luo team will have a chance to win the championship!"
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face. If the Star Luo team could win the championship, it would undoubtedly be something worth celebrating for the whole country.
Then he slowly stood up, walked to the door, and shouted outside the palace: "Go and tell the princess to come to me. I have something important to discuss with her."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The guards outside the palace responded immediately.
After a while, Xu Jiujiu walked into the palace and asked the guards to leave temporarily. Then she looked at Xu Jiawei. "Brother, I am still preparing for the Fighting Soul Competition! What do you want to discuss with me?"
Xu Jiawei sat on the chair and looked at Xu Jiujiu. He quickly told her about the sudden changes in Shrek Academy and Wang Yan's request for him to use special means to maintain the academy's glory.
After listening to these words, Xu Jiujiu's fair face suddenly showed surprise. "Shrek Academy encountered such a thing! However, to maintain the so-called glory, they let you—my brother—do it behind the scenes?"
In Xu Jiujiu's heart, Shrek Academy had always been the number one soul master academy on the continent, so the name "Shrek Academy" had always meant invincibility. But even Shrek Academy couldn't let go of some false reputation?
Xu Jiawei's face showed helplessness, and he whispered, "When I was studying at Shrek Academy, I knew that the elders attached great importance to Shrek's ten thousand years of glory, so it is not surprising that Elder Xuan ordered Wang Yan to come to me for help.
Master Xuan caused a big disaster this time and couldn't even protect Hua Bin. If it weren't for the fact that Shrek Academy is too important to us, based on my relationship with Dai Hao, I would help Hua Bin get an explanation. However, for the relationship between the Star Luo Empire and Shrek Academy, I cannot hold Shrek Academy accountable.
If there is a rift between me and Shrek Academy, as long as their dean makes a call, guess how many soul masters in the Star Luo Empire will directly rebel?"
"Royal brother! Shrek Academy should not do such a thing!" Xu Jiujiu looked at Xu Jiawei with some doubt. She felt that her royal brother today seemed different from before.
She understood what Xu Jiawei meant. In the Star Luo Empire, all the powerful and influential people had family members who studied at Shrek Academy or graduated from it. If these people were asked to choose between the imperial family and Shrek Academy, they would choose Shrek Academy.
Xu Jiawei shook his head and retorted, "Jiujiu, you know I admire Shrek Academy very much, and I was once a student there, so I am willing to trust the elders of the Sea God Pavilion from the bottom of my heart!
However, if we think from the perspective of an emperor, it is not important whether Shrek Academy would do this or not. What is important is that they can overthrow the imperial family without bloodshed!
Some so many students graduated from Shrek Academy and then served the empire, and they all hold important positions! Will these people collude with each other through their connection as Shrek alumni and attempt to overthrow the imperial family? These are all things I need to think about.
To be honest, I don't want to be the emperor. If possible, I would rather let Dai Hao be the emperor, and then I will be the Star Crown Duke. But now that I am in this position, I need to consider the safety of the imperial family!
Therefore, this competition is a godsend. Shrek Academy has gradually raised its image among soul masters by cultivating seven gods and winning championships in the Soul Fighting Competition.
And we, the Star Luo Team, will also follow this path. As long as the Star Luo Team wins the championship in this Soul Fighting Competition, we can attract more talented soul masters to join the empire!"
"Royal brother! I understand. I will do my best! For the Star Luo Empire and the imperial family!" An extremely serious look appeared on Xu Jiujiu's fair little face.
Xu Jiawei smiled. "Jiujiu, of course, I believe you will do your best, but you are one of the few inheritors of the Star Crown Martial Soul in the imperial family.
Recently, I obtained a hundred-thousand-year soul beast embryo from a powerful figure in the Sun Moon Empire. If you are willing, I will help you turn this hundred-thousand-year soul beast embryo into your second martial soul!"
"By then, you will have twin martial souls!"
