Douluo: Becoming a God by Relying on my Enemies

Not wanting to see any more awkwardness, Yu Xiaogang coughed a few times and moved on from the topic. "Since you agree, I'll call everyone over now to explain the arrangements."

Yun Feng noticed Yu Xiaogang's nervousness but didn't comment. In his view, did Dai Mubai think he was worthy? Could he really compete with him?

Even if he tried, could he succeed? The key point was that Yun Feng simply didn't want to kill him yet, keeping him around as a backup. But that didn't mean he wouldn't eliminate Dai Mubai if he dared to pursue the women Yun Feng considered his own.

Yu Xiaogang was unaware of Yun Feng's thoughts. After gathering everyone from Shrek Academy, he led them to Tang San's room to explain the plan.

Once everyone was assembled, Yu Xiaogang began speaking. "You can now form your own teams to decide which type of spirit fights you'll participate in."

"Generally, the one-on-one and two-on-two matches start first at the Great Spirit Arena. Team battles, although separate, start later and are the main attraction for the audience."

"By staggering the times, they can sell more tickets."

"Each day, you must participate in at least one team battle; the other match is your choice."

"If you wish to participate in three matches, I won't object, as long as you manage your soul power well."

As soon as Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, Oscar looked pitifully at Dai Mubai. "Boss Dai, how about we team up for the two-on-two? What do you think?"

"Even though I'm just level 30, my support abilities should be helpful to you."

"Otherwise, I don't know when I'll ever accumulate enough points for a Silver Spirit Badge."

Dai Mubai paused; he had intended to team up with Zhu Zhuqing for the two-on-two or participate solo in one-on-one battles. Seeing Oscar's pleading eyes, he thought for a moment and nodded.

"Alright."

Among the eight, Dai Mubai and Tang San were evidently the strongest. Oscar immediately chose Dai Mubai, and seeing this, Ning Rongrong turned her gaze to Tang San. However, after a quick glance, she looked towards Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing instead.

"Ladies, would any of you like to help me out?"

The two girls were taken aback, ready to nod in agreement. But Yun Feng interjected.

"Although you're all talented, you haven't really fought together before. It's best to choose someone with a similar soul power level. Xiao Wu is already a Soul Elder; teaming up with you might not be ideal."

Upon hearing Yun Feng, Ma Hongjun quickly chimed in, "Rongrong, how about teaming up with me? Our soul power levels are similar."

"You? I'd rather not," Ning Rongrong replied, glaring at him. "You can barely handle yourself, let alone help me."

Yu Xiaogang suddenly spoke up, "No, I suggest you and Ma Hongjun form a two-on-two team."

"Why? I won't!" Ning Rongrong said, puzzled.

Yu Xiaogang, full of wisdom, found himself stumped by Ning Rongrong's bluntness. He knew she didn't get along with him, but now wasn't the time for personal grudges!

He explained, "In a two-on-two match, if one soul master reaches a higher level, they must compete at that level. If you team up with Ma Hongjun, you'll compete in the level 30 bracket."

"Soul masters usually compete at the highest level within their bracket unless they have exceptional confidence or a significant spirit advantage."

"For instance, in the level 20 bracket, competitors are typically at least level 25. The level 30 bracket is similar."

"Zhu Zhuqing's soul power level is similar to yours, but she hasn't trained with you for the past three months. She might manage one-on-ones, but adding you in a two-on-two won't give enough boost to bridge the gap."

"However, teaming with Ma Hongjun is different. He's level 28 and has a strong spirit advantage. With your support, your chances of winning exceed 70%."

Yu Xiaogang's implication was clear—he was downplaying Yun Feng's training methods and Zhu Zhuqing's strength. Even Ning Rongrong could read between the lines.

Ignoring Yu Xiaogang, she directly asked Zhu Zhuqing, "Zhuqing, shall we team up?"

Seeing no further drama, Ning Rongrong promptly invited Zhu Zhuqing.

"Sure," Zhu Zhuqing replied simply.

To Ning Rongrong, teaming with Zhu Zhuqing, despite her lower level than Ma Hongjun, was preferable. She didn't want to worry about inappropriate advances during a two-on-two battle.

Besides, Zhu Zhuqing wasn't necessarily weaker than Ma Hongjun. Over the past three months, Ning Rongrong had spent much time with Yun Feng and the others, harboring doubts about Yun Feng's strength.

Compared to Yu Xiaogang, she trusted Yun Feng more, ignoring Yu Xiaogang completely.

At this point, Ma Hongjun grumbled, "Rongrong, that's discrimination. I protest."

Ning Rongrong snorted and replied bluntly, "Yes, I am discriminating, so what?"

Sighing in resignation, Ma Hongjun wisely backed off.

"You can decide how to participate in the spirit fights. I won't say much more, but take these. Wear them during the battles."

"And speak less on stage to avoid revealing your age to opponents."

As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang retrieved eight pre-prepared masks from his soul guide bracelet.

Everyone recognized the masks—they were the Shrek Academy emblem, the green Shrek monster design.

Dai Mubai took a mask and tried it on. Though the craftsmanship was average, it fit well, leaving openings for the eyes, mouth, and nose without obstructing them.

"When participating in team battles, use the Shrek team name. For individual matches, choose your own titles."

"Register with your nicknames, and your real names won't appear at the Spirit Arena."
