Chapter 285.2. Team Shrek''s Improvement


    The first fight of the second elimination round ended. Although Shrek Academy didnt win by andslide, they still demonstrated their strength. This was especially true for Wang Qiuer. Her performance in the team round caused all the other team leaders to turn dismal. Of course, the expressions of the Holy Ghost Sects members couldnt be seen, since they concealed their faces.


    The tournament continued, and the next few fights were very intense. In order to qualify, every team gave their best. There were many casualties in this second elimination round. The bloody smelling off the stage also grew stronger and stronger.


    Lets return, Huo Yuhao said to his teammates after looking up at the sky.


    You are not watching anymore? Xu Sanshi was a little stunned as he nced at Yuhao.


    Huo Yuhao shook his head and replied, Weve seen what we need to. Theres nothing much left to see. No matter who our opponents are, well have to give our all, right? Lets return to rest. As he spoke, he gestured for Wang Donger to push his wheelchair.


    Although Huo Yuhao wasnt the oldest among them, he was the stand-in team leader since Bei Bei wasnt around. No one questioned his words. Everyone stood up and left the venue silently, returning to the Ming Yue Hotel.


    They werepeting tomorrow. Their opponents werent well-known, and were from a sect too. They didnt have any information regarding this sect, and they didnt notice this sect in the first elimination round either. However, that didnt mean that their opponents were lousy.


    ------


    After returning to the hotel, Huo Yuhao called his teammates to his room.


    In the the tournament, they had had a meeting room they could use. However, they had to make do with this for this round.


    Ill talk about tomorrows strategy briefly, Huo Yuhao began.


    Xu Sanshiughed, Are you nning topete first and continue all the way until the end?


    Huo Yuhao shook his head as he smiled and replied, Its different from the previous round. There were manypeting teams then, and we had sufficient time to rest. From this round onwards, the time between each sessive round will be shorter. We must try our best to conserve our fighting strength. After all, we dont have many substitutes. In fact, we should learn from Shreks strategy today. None of them depleted too much of their energy, but they still fought to warm up their bodies. They kept themselves in their best physical condition for the team round. Tomorrow, we shall follow their strategy. Third senior, youll fight first tomorrow. What do you think about this arrangement?


    Xu Sanshis eyes brightened, and he said, Great idea! However, dont you want us to conceal our true abilities?


    Huo Yuhao chortled and replied, You only have two opponents to defeat before you concede defeat. Are you really going to reveal your trump card in those two fights?


    Of course not! Xu Sanshi said proudly.


    Huo Yuhaoughed, Thats great! Second senior, youll be the second topete. Youll fight two of them also. Xiao Xiao, youll be the third to fight. Youll only need to fight one. Fourth senior, youll fight one person only too. Donger will best, and shell take care of thest person.


    Na Na looked a little pitifully at Huo Yuhao. After hearing that she had no role, she lowered her head.


    Huo Yuhao chortled, Na Na, havent you realized that well have to lose a few fights in the individual elimination round with such an arrangement? The final fight will be in the team round. Youll have your chance then. In the team round, Ill have to rely on everyone else. Ill only be the main controller of the team.


    Na Na lifted her head again and subconsciously said, Master, I have no objections to any of your arrangements.


    After hearing the word Master, everyones expressions turned a little weird.


    Huo Yuhao also felt very helpless. He had corrected her many times, and struggled to get her to call him by his name. However, there were times when she wasnt careful, and still called him Master. Na Na didnt find anything wrong with this, since she was very grateful to Huo Yuhao. Not only did Huo Yuhao save her parents souls, but he also gave her a new life! He was her benefactor!


    Huo Yuhao coughed and said, Seniors, please return to rest. Na Na, stay behind.


    Xu Sanshi stood up and patted Huo Yuhaos shoulder. He shot him a weird look and softly said, Yuhao! You must control yourself since youre already in this state! Wang Donger could hear him clearly even though he was trying to speak softly.


    Besidesughing bitterly, what else could Huo Yuhao do? Everyone else left, but they wore weird smiles on their faces.


    Only Wang Dong didnt smile. She walked to one side and poured a ss of water for Na Na.


    Thank you, Mistress. Na Na received the ss respectfully.


    Wang Donger felt very helpless too, Sister Na Na, please dont call me that. I cant take it. We are senior and junior from the same sect. Yuhao has helped you before, but everythings already in the past. Dont tell me that you wont help us when we are in trouble? Dont be too bothered


    Okay. Na Na acknowledged her words naturally, but it was evident that she didnt take them in.


    Huo Yuhao knew that there was no point trying to convince her. He didnt bother doing so. Na Na, hows your progress on the matter that I wanted you to investigate?


    Na Na turned serious, and a look of fear shed across her eyes. She nodded gently and replied, Yes, youre right. Its them, Im sure of it! I wouldnt forget their aura even if I turned to ashes. Its them! It must be them!


    Huo Yuhao nodded and said, Right. Youve verified my guess. The Holy Ghost Sect is the Holy Ghost Church. Dont be afraid, everyone will protect you as long as you remain with us. What about the other thing? Hows the contact?


    Na Na said, I went to three ck markets, and only the biggest one says that there are goods avable. However, the details have to be discussed. Furthermore, their asking price is very high, and they are difficult to deal with.


    Huo Yuhao smiled and said, Its okay if the price is high, as long as the goods are avable. Before the war starts, we must prepare. Continue to maintain contact with them and bargain. After that, set a time to meet. Ill meet them. Lets do it this way; continue to contact them a further three times and let them sense our sincerity. After that, purchase some samples.


    Alright. Na Na acknowledged his words.


    Huo Yuhao said, You should return to rest, too. Take care of your safety when you are alone at night. If you cant handle it, ask for help from Sister Ziyan or Brother Ji. After all, they are people who cant handle loneliness.


    Alright! Na Na regarded herself as Huo Yuhaos servant. After acknowledging his words, she turned around and left.


    She closed the door behind her after she left. Wang Donger asked curiously, Who did you ask Na Na to contact? Why dont I know about it?


    Huo Yuhao smiled and said, Have you forgotten that my spiritual power has reached the concrete-immaterial realm? I instructed her a few days ago. Since we are here at the Sun Moon Empire, we cant leave empty-handed. Weve found some big clients.


    At the same time, we are going to purchase some goods.


    Wang Donger was intelligent. She immediately thought of something, and asked, Rare metals? You asked Na Na to search for rare metals for sale on the market?


    Huo Yuhao nodded, My love, you are really intelligent. Come here, Ill reward you with a kiss.


    Wang Dongers face turned red, and she said, Stop fooling around. Lets get back to proper business first.


    Alright. Since youve agreed, Ill wait until we are done with proper business first. Huo Yuhao said with a serious look on his face.


    Since when did I agree? Wang Donger asked in embarrassment.


    Huo Yuhao chuckled and said, You said that we should get back to proper business first. Naturally, that means that well get to improper business after that.


    You


    Lets get back to proper business. Youre right. I want to buy some rare metals.


    Seeing Huo Yuhaos serious face, Wang Donger snapped as she pulled his hand toward her. She bit the back of his hand. However, she bit very gently. This was evident from how Huo Yuhao enjoyed her bite.


    Can you buy rare metals in the Sun Moon Empire? Theyre war resources now. Wang Donger asked doubtfully after she finished biting him.


    Huo Yuhao smiled gently and asked, Why not? As long as you have the money, nothing is impossible. Its because rare metals are considered war resources that theyre very expensive. But this also means that selling them is very profitable. Some people will be interested in such profits. Furthermore, they are bound to be authoritative figures. This time, our two clients have epted very expensive deposits. Gold soul coins are only useless, expensive metals. What we need are rare metals that can be continuously converted into wealth. Storing metals is better than storing money. Thats why I n to purchase rare metals. Before we left, eldest senior brought all our liquidated money. That includes the funds we gained by selling the Zhuge Divine Crossbow to the academy. Along with the payments that Princess Jiuju and Princess Wei Na gave us, the money that we have is quite substantial!


    Wang Donger was a little worried, However, Im afraid itll be very troublesome to purchase rare metals here. What if we dont get the goods even after paying up? Even if we get the goods, can we return safely?


    Huo Yuhao patted her hand and said, Therell always be a solution. Trust me.


    Alright.


    Huo Yuhao said, We are done with proper business.


    Wang Donger naturally stood up and said, Im going to wash my clothes.


    Huo Yuhao wouldnt let her go just like this. He pulled with her right hand, and shended on his thigh.


    She didnt struggle, and only buried her embarrassed head in his arms. She didnt struggle because she was afraid of hurting him. After all, only his right arm out of his four limbs could move!


    My love, just a while, alright?
