Chapter 325.3. An Instantaneous Eruption of Strength Leading to Victory


    Ju Zi felt her heart quiver as she bit down on her lower lip. Her beautiful eyes seemed to be pondering something


    ------


    The Tang Sect had returned to the hotel. They couldnt be bothered with a postmortem this time, and everyone went back to their respective rooms to rest as soon as possible.


    They had achieved their main goals in this battle. The Body Sect wasnt their enemy, after all, and the Tang Sect had managed to win and progress into the semifinals without damaging their rtionship. They hadpleted all their main tasks in this tournament.


    Huo Yuhao sat opposite Wang Donger as they channeled their Haodong power together.


    Color had returned to Huo Yuhaos face, and he wasnt as pale now. Today had been far too exhausting for him, and taken a toll on his physical and mental strength. Much of his soul power and spiritual power had been consumed.


    Long Aotian had been right, the Body Sects entire team was too proud and arrogant, and they werent able to unleash their strongest individual abilities because of their teamwork, or rather, theck thereof. But even so, Huo Yuhao was still overly spent as the Tang Sects team leader andmander.


    Huo Yuhao was thinking back over the entire match as he sat on his wheelchair on the way back, and made his own evaluations about the Body Sects individual team members. He realized afterwards that if both teams battle strategies and tactics were in ce and not problematic, there was only one way the Tang Sect could defeat the Body Sect: his body had to recover. It was only then that his fighting strength could be unleashed to the highest possible level, and he could cooperate better with Wang Donger. Only then would they have a chance of defeating the Body Sect.


    They rested for nearly four hours before they headed to the canteen to eat. They were met with two guests in the canteen. More urately put, they were met with two princesses!


    ---


    After their meal, Bei Bei, Huo Yuhao, Wei Na, and Xu Jiujiu sat together in the living room on the Brilliant Delight Hotels top floor that belonged to the Snowdemon Sect.


    Both princesses had lost their respective fights, and while the Star Luo National Academy was defeated straightforwardly, they managed to keep themselves in one piece. Xu Jiujius expression was very normal and casual, as she had already foreseen todays oue when they drew the Holy Ghost Sect as their quarterfinal opponents.


    When do you guys n to depart? Bei Bei took the initiative and asked with a smile on his face.


    Xu Jiujiu exchanged a look with Wei Na and said, Were not in a hurry. I think well wait for the entire tournament to end before well leave. If the Brilliant Delight Hotel refuses to continue providing their services to us, well find a nearby hotel to stay in.


    Oh? You dont seem like youre in a hurry to return home, Bei Bei continued, with the same smile on his face.


    Xu Jiujiu nced in his direction. She had a strong impression of the Tang Sects eldest senior brother. This guy was handsome, and he always wore that faint smile on his face. He seemed schrly and refreshed, and it was easy for others to have a favorable impression of him.


    However, his fighting style was drastically different from how he typically carried himself when he wasnt inbat. He was ferocious, and was as fearsome and intimidating as could be. Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi anchored the Shreks Seven Monsters vanguard!


    Yes! Were not in a hurry. The semifinals and finals will be even more spectacr. Since were here, we should finish watching the tournament before we go, Xu Jiujiu responded with a bright smile on her face.


    Most of the teams who had been defeated chose to leave. The tournament spanned a very long period of time, and the Brilliant Delight Hotel turned away those who had been eliminated from the tournament. Some teams couldnt find a ce to stay in the city even if they wanted to.


    Of course, some of these teams had arranged things for themselves beforehand so they could continue watching the tournament. Most of these teams were the Sun Moon Empires native teams, so it was rtively easier for them to stay behind. The teams that belonged to the Douluo Continents three native countries mostly didnt choose to stay behind because they werent very friendly with the Sun Moon Empire. They didnt want to stay for too long because they were afraid that the Sun Moon Empire would take action against them.


    Xu Jiujiu turned towards Wei Na after she dered that she was staying behind. How about the Snowdemon Sect, sister Wei Na? When are you guys leaving? Oh, thats wrong... I should call you guys the Body Sect. I didnt expect you to have so many secrets! You have twin martial souls, and youre also one of the Body Sets prodigy warriors! Whitesilver Second Awakening! Very impressive!


    Wei Na had returned to normal by now, and she still wore the same gentle and tender look as she always did. She smiled faintly, and dimples appeared on her cheeks like a fresh and pleasant lily flower.


    Since you arent in a hurry to leave, then we are even more reluctant to go. Well wait for the tournament to end before we leave.


    Xu Jiujiu smiled and said, Thats great! We can apany each other when we leave. I guess Ill have apanion for my journey.


    Wei Na nodded. Thats good! Bei Bei, Yuhao, why dont we decide on a time and ce so we can leave together after the tournament? You can call the others from Shrek Academy too! The more the merrier!


    Bei Bei heaved a faint sigh and shook his head. We are very exhausted today, my dear princesses, and it isnt very convenient for Huo Yuhao to move around. Weve expended too much today, so we should stop beating around the bush and get straight to the point so that we can go back to rest after our discussion. Otherwise, the two of you can finish your discussions beforehand and find us afterwards.


    Xu Jiujius expression didnt change as she listened to Bei Bei calling her out on her tongue-in-cheek. Wei Na blushed, but she was still smiling pleasantly as she stared at Xu Jiujiu in amusement.


    The two princesses looked at each other, but neither of them seemed willing to speak first, and the room instantly descended into silence.


    Bei Bei waited for a little while before he heaved a faint sigh and walked behind Huo Yuhao. He began to push Yuhaos wheelchair, and they started to leave.


    Wait. Xu Jiujiu couldnt hold herself back anymore, and spoke first. Xu Jiujiu didnt have the same confidence and strength that Wei Na did. Even though she had faith that she was better than Wei Na at managing and handling things, Wei Na had the Body Sect behind her, and there were probably many powerful individuals from the Body Sect in the area. Wei Na had reason to be confident, and she had reason to feel safe. But what about her? Would herpany be able to ensure her safe passage back home?


    Bei Bei pressed his hands on the Golden Tree wheelchairs handles and turned towards Xu Jiujiu.


    Xu Jiujiu paused for a moment and said solemnly, Alright, Im not going to beat around the bush anymore. You guys have seen what the tournament is like. The Sun Moon Empire is bing stronger and more dominant, and ording to our analysis, the Sun Moon Empire has a malicious n that they will execute after the tournament! Were not sure what their n is, but the Sun Moon Empires strengthbined with the Holy Ghost Sect is a big threat to everyone! We will have a hard time defending ourselves if they make a move against us, as this is their territory, after all. Therefore, I want my people to leave together with you guys. Together we stand, and divided we fall. Its easier for us to take care of one another when were together.


    Bei Bei tilted his head. Xu Jiujiu had portrayed her sincerity rtively well with her words, and this was probably what she had meant from the start. Perhaps her words werentplete, but they were enough to express her anxiety and worries.


    Wei Na nodded and continued, I agree with Jiujiu. Together we stand, and divided we fall. The Sun Moon Empire is too calm and quiet, to the point where I feel afraid. It would be a lot safer for everyone, and we will find ourselves in a better situation if we all leave together after thepetition. At least, theyll have to try a lot harder if they want to deal with us.


    Bei Bei nced at both princesses and said, Either one of you can represent a country, but the Tang Sect is just a tiny sect. Well probably not participate in this.


    Both Xu Jiujiu and Wei Na were astonished by Bei Beis response. From their perspective, the Tang Sect had no reason to reject their proposal, but Bei Bei did so directly and straightforwardly.


    Huo Yuhao said nothing at all in his chair. He was being a patient listener, Bei Bei was the Tang Sects eldest senior brother, and was also the Tang Sects real director. Huo Yuhao would always hold himself back when Bei Bei was around so that his eldest senior brother could decide everything. This wasnt just because of his respect for Bei Bei, it was also because he had absolute faith in his senior brother!


    Alright. Its gettingte, princesses. Well take our leave first. We can continue this discussion afterwards. With that, Bei Bei pushed Huo Yuhaos wheelchair and left the room.


    ---


    Xu Jiujiu and Wei Na nced at each other, both of them temporarily rendered speechless.


    Wei Na forced augh after a long while and said, I thought Huo Yuhao was difficult to deal with, little did I expect that the Tang Sects eldest senior brother was even more difficult to deal with. Its apparent that he thinks were not sincere enough.


    Xu Jiujiu also wore a ck face as she turned towards Wei Na and said, Wei Na, I know that you have the Body Sect behind you. But you should also understand that the Sun Moon Empire hates the Body Sect more than they do us. If they really have some evil n to execute, the Body Sect will be their first target, Shrek Academy wille next, and then they will target us. Lets have a heart to heart talk... what do you think?


    Wei Na tilted her head and said, Alright, then I wont hide anything any more. We are not just here to participate in the tournament, we also have to execute other tasks and duties


    ---


    Bei Bei pushed Huo Yuhao and walked down the hotel corridor. He shook his head in exasperation and said, These princesses are so sly and cunning. They dont wish to give anything, yet they want to drag us onto the war chariot. Theyve calcted this well... but what do we have? We represent the Tang Sect, not Shrek Academy. We dont know who they have and how many people they have backing them up, and we dont even know how Shrek Academy has arranged things. Our advantage is that ourpany is small, and the Sun Moon Empire cant do anything against us if we really want to leave because we have you around. Its better for us to avoid getting involved in this.


    Huo Yuhaoughed bitterly and said, We will be much smaller targets if we lose the next round. However, if we win, the Holy Ghost Church will surelye after us whether or not the Sun Moon Empire targets us.


    Bei Bei nodded and said, There are still many things that are blurry and unclear. The princesses are in more of a hurry than we are, while everything will be clear after the tournaments next round. At the very least, we can be sure that the Sun Moon Empire will not make a move against us within Radiant City even if they want to...
