The staff member finally reacted.
"The Fierce God Team, a Level 40 Silver Spirit Team, has participated in 46 battles since entering the Silver Spirit level, winning 31 of them. They have killed 63 opponents and left 98 others severely injured or crippled."
"They are known as the deadly weapon among Silver Spirit teams. Most other teams prefer to avoid them due to their overly brutal tactics."
Yu Xiaogang nodded in satisfaction.
"Alright, we'll challenge this Fierce God Team. Our team's name is Shrek Team, and we'll field all seven members."
"Yu Xiaogang."
Seeing that Yu Xiaogang was serious, Zhao Wuji and the other four teachers hurried over, trying to stop him.
Yu Xiaogang shook his head at them and whispered something low. Upon hearing it, the group finally seemed to understand and their worried expressions eased.
Flender hesitated and said,
"Are you sure this is okay?"
Yu Xiaogang replied calmly,
"Flender, this is also a form of training. Sooner or later, they'll face situations like this. Do you think it's better for them to face such challenges with us around to guide them or to let them bear the consequences on their own?"
Flender locked eyes with Yu Xiaogang, their gazes clashing in mid-air. Sparks seemed to fly before Flender eventually gave in and nodded.
"Alright, I hope you're right."
Yu Xiaogang smiled faintly and said,
"This is the best way to test their mental fortitude. It's something they'll inevitably have to go through."
His words were spoken clearly and openly, so everyone present heard them.
The students were completely taken aback by Yu Xiaogang's decision.
He's not treating us like humans at all!
Is it really worth risking our lives for some points?
Moreover, their opponents were all Level 40 and above Spirit Masters.
The strongest among them, Dai Mubai, was only Level 38.
They aren't Yun Feng, capable of battling above their rank!
With this thought, everyone's gazes toward Yu Xiaogang became odd.
Yu Xiaogang, noticing their stares, felt uncomfortable.
Caught up in his own reasoning, he hadn't considered their reactions.
All the trust I worked so hard to regain is gone.
Realizing this, Yu Xiaogang quickly turned to Flender and said,
"Of course, this is just my suggestion. The final decision is up to you, Flender. After all, you're the dean!"
Flender was momentarily stunned.
Well, well. He's just passing the buck to me!
However, considering their years of friendship, Flender didn't expose Yu Xiaogang's ploy. Instead, he seriously pondered and finally said,
"I think the master makes sense. We'll be watching, and if things get dangerous, we can jump in and end the battle."
Yun Feng, witnessing their shamelessness, couldn't help but chime in from the side.
"Dean, what if, just what if, you can't intervene in time? The consequences… Tsk tsk tsk!"
Hearing this, Flender and Yu Xiaogang's faces turned green. Wasn't that just a blatant attempt to poke holes in their plan?
"Yun Feng, what do you mean? Do you think we, as teachers, wouldn't consider such things?"
"And let me remind you, we're Spirit Sages. Do you even understand what that means? Even if something unexpected happens, we can save them instantly!"
Yun Feng shrugged nonchalantly.
"I was just saying. Don't take it so personally, Dean."
His dismissive attitude and indifferent expression almost made Flender lose it.
For some reason, looking at Yun Feng like this made Flender want to punch him!
Just as Flender was about to say more, he noticed Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong standing beside Yun Feng.
Seeing this, Flender was momentarily stunned, and his frustration was forcibly swallowed down.
"This matter is settled. Please register us for the challenge!" Flender said to the staff, trying his best to suppress his anger.
As he turned to leave, Yun Feng spoke up again.
"Dean, since I'm part of Shrek too, should I register as well?"
Flender paused mid-step. While Yun Feng was insufferable, his strength was undeniable. If he fought, wouldn't it be easy points for them?
But just as Flender turned back with a forced smile to agree, Yun Feng spoke again.
"Forget it. The Dean doesn't seem to like me, so there's no point in me fighting."
With that, Yun Feng walked off to rest, leaving Flender frozen in place.
Seeing everyone's amused looks, especially the grinning trio of girls, Flender's anger surged. He flung his sleeve in frustration and stormed off.
Yu Xiaogang, observing Flender's retreat, let out a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness I avoided becoming the target of Yun Feng's mischief.
The staff member, having enjoyed the show, went off to finalize the challenge registration. As a cross-rank team battle was a significant event, it required a supervisor's approval.
A short while later, the supervisor arrived, and the match was officially confirmed.
Oscar muttered under his breath,
"Has the master and Dean lost their minds? Challenging a Level 40 team?"
"Even though we have decent martial souls and spirit rings, the gap in levels and rings is too big. How can we win?"
"Especially against the most vicious Level 40 team."
Dai Mubai replied coldly,
"So what if they're Level 40? It's not impossible for us to win."
"Besides, cross-rank challenges yield ten times the points. If we win, each of us will gain 1,000 points. This is a shortcut!"
Ma Hongjun grumbled,
"Dai, you're Level 38, so it's easy for you to say. I'm only Level 28. I'm two rings behind them. How am I supposed to fight?"
"Tang San, you're not that high-level either. What do you think?"
Tang San frowned, deep in thought. He trusted his teacher wouldn't act recklessly. Yu Xiaogang must have a purpose, but what was it?
While their martial souls were excellent, the gap in power and rings seemed insurmountable. How could they possibly win?
