Chapter 103 Our Shrek Team is guaranteed to win!
At this moment, upon realizing that Liu Yuan had successfully returned, a deep sense of solemnity appeared on the faces of all the members of the Shrek team.
They were all undoubtedly extremely wary of Liu Yuan.
After all, Liu Yuan's own strength and teaching ability are both extremely terrifying.
With him present and without him, the Sun and Moon Royal Team is like two completely different teams!
Therefore, upon seeing him return to the team, all the students at Shrek Academy felt a strong sense of pressure.
However, Yan Shaozhe, Xian Lin'er, and Xuanzi are different.
In situations like these, they know how to effectively fulfill their role as team leaders.
Therefore, while the Shrek Academy team members were feeling somewhat uneasy about Liu Yuan's return, Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er spoke up one after another:
Yan Shaozhe:
"Don't overthink it..."
"After all, our goal now is no longer to win the Soul Master Competition."
"Our goal is just to get second place, and if it's just second place, it's not really difficult for us."
Xianlin'er:
"Yes, Dean Yan is right."
"Our current goal is only to get second place. There's no need to feel too much pressure. With our strength, we can definitely win this second place."
But at this moment, Xixi spoke up again: "But Dean Yan, Dean Xian, I have a feeling that their Sun Moon Royal Team 2 is also determined to win this runner-up title..."
Yan Shaozhe shook his head upon hearing this: "Everyone can rest assured about that."
"Even if they had that idea, they don't have the ability to do it!"
"We've been observing the strength of the Sun and Moon Royal Team's second squad for the past few days."
"Although they are quite strong, they are far inferior to our Shrek team. We have nothing to be afraid of."
Xianlin'er, standing to one side, nodded and said, "Yes, everyone, you must have confidence in yourselves."
"Liu Yuan's strength is indeed very strong, and his teaching level is also very high. We all have to admit that..."
"But the problem is, this is the Soul Master Competition, and he can't go on stage himself."
"If he wants to take to the field himself, then there's really nothing we can say; we'll just surrender."
"But if he doesn't play, the second team still has the same members. The gap in strength between them and us is so big. It can't be that just because Liu Yuanyi is back, they will suddenly be able to beat us, right?"
"So there's no need for everyone to worry too much."
"Sometimes, you're just scaring yourselves. Actually, everyone's strength is quite good. It's just that this time, the Sun Moon Royal Team 1 is stronger."
"But it's still very easy for everyone to defeat the second team."
Xian Lin'er and Yan Shaozhe kept calming the students down.
After hearing Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er's comforting words, all the students breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the pressure in their hearts vanish.
They suddenly felt enlightened.
Ma Xiaotao: "That's true. Their second team doesn't have a monster like Ling Luochen, so we can't lose at all."
Dai Yueheng: "This time, we must win and take the runner-up position. This is our last stand."
Chen Zifeng: "Come on everyone, we must win!"
They encouraged each other, and their morale quickly soared.
The match began soon after that.
Because there were no high-profile matches today.
Actually, it's not that interesting to look at.
Therefore, both the Shrek team and the Sun and Moon Royal team are actually more concerned about the draw after today's competition.
After all, the organizers will start calculating points and eliminating half of the teams after today's competition.
Then comes the round of 32!
According to the competition format, all teams will need to be divided into two large regions, Region A and Region B.
After the regional divisions are completed, the strongest team from each region will be determined one by one, and that will be the final.
Therefore, at this moment, for both the Sun & Moon Royal team and the Shrek team, the issue of division is very important.
All the matches for today have now been completed.
The organizers have started tallying the qualifying spots, and after a short while, the main event of the day, the draw, should begin.
At this moment, Liu Yuan discussed the competition format with the students. He said to them, "Next, the most important thing is the draw."
"If you want to win both the championship and the runner-up titles, besides strength, you also need a certain amount of luck."
"Otherwise, if we draw both teams into the same major region during the draw, then only one person can play in the finals, which is obviously not what we want to see."
The trainees looked serious upon hearing this: "Yes! Hopefully, we'll have better luck then."
On the other side...
Xian Lin'er, Yan Shaozhe, and others were also discussing this matter at that moment.
Both of them said with serious expressions, "To guarantee second place, we need to avoid the Sun and Moon Royal Team 1."
"Otherwise, if we encounter Team One again, we will definitely be eliminated, and then it will be useless even if we are stronger than Team Two."
Upon hearing this, Dai Yueheng frowned and asked nervously, "Dean Yan, Dean Xian, is it possible to cheat?"
"Change the lottery system or something."
Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er shook their heads. They looked at Liu Yuan to the side and said, "Cheating is impossible."
"After all, Liu Yuan is here."
"His strength far surpasses that of the two of us. If we make any small moves, he will catch us immediately, and we will only cause trouble for ourselves. There's no need for that."
Hearing this, Ma Xiaotao could only frown and say, "It seems we can only try our luck."
Everyone waited patiently at the scene.
Not long after, the list of those who advanced was released.
Half of the teams in the round-robin tournament were eliminated, and after that, the person in charge took out a huge lottery bucket and began the lottery process.
Liu Yuan was the first to go up and draw lots, but he was drawing for Team One. He would have to draw lots again when it was Team Two's turn.
So he quickly went on stage and drew a spot in Group 1 of Division A.
He quickly stepped off the stage.
All the other teams prayed that Liu Yuan wouldn't be placed in Group A after seeing his draw.
One by one, they went up on stage to draw lots, some with joy and some with sorrow.
"Next up, Shrek Team!"
Finally, the person in charge read out the name of the Shrek team.
Upon hearing the person in charge's voice, Yan Shaozhe immediately went up on stage.
