Chapter 218 218: The Disbanding of Team Shrek
Time flew by, and soon only half a month remained until the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.
At the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, on a training field, both of its official tournament teams stood assembled alongside their instructors. Due to the academy's meritocratic culture and recent shifts in strength and relationships among students, the roster of the Heaven Dou Royal Team and Team Shrek had undergone drastic changes.
The new leader of the Heaven Dou Royal Team was no longer Qin Ming, but Tang Yin's adoptive mother, Ah Yin. Ah Yin had reached level 83 as a Spirit Douluo, with spirit rings: Yellow-Yellow-Purple-Purple-Black-Black-Black-Black.
The team captaincy had also shifted from Yu Tianheng to Tang Yin. Yu Tianheng harbored no resentment, as the gap between their strengths had grown insurmountable. Similarly, the vice-captain was no longer Dugu Yan but Zhu Zhuqing, who had defected from Team Shrek after defeating Dugu Yan in combat. Alongside her, Ning Rongrong had also left Team Shrek to join the Heaven Dou Royal Team.

Team Shrek Roster:

Vice-Captain: Tang San (Level 41, Control)
Members: Shi Mo (41), Shi Meng (41), Osler (41), Oscar (35), Ma Hongjun (33)
Instructors: Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and former Heaven Dou instructor Qin Ming.
Ah Yin gazed proudly at her adoptive son Tang Yin, flanked by Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling—ignoring Yu Tianheng entirely. In contrast, Yu Xiaogang watched Tang Yin's team with displeasure. Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong should have been his assets, but after their fallout with Dai Mubai and failed spirit fusion, they defected. To his shock, Ning Rongrong followed Zhu Zhuqing without hesitation.
Yu Xiaogang had to recruit academy reserves to fill Team Shrek's roster, but it was now essentially "Heaven Dou Team Two." He noted bitterly that those close to Tang Yin—like Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling—had surged in power, while Oscar and Ma Hongjun (who avoided Tang Yin) stagnated in the 30s. Even Dai Mubai barely reached Level 41. Only his disciple Tang San kept pace through relentless effort.
Ah Yin, now the academy's most renowned beauty and formidable instructor, addressed the teams with authority:
"With half a month until the tournament, you must train relentlessly. Heaven Dou's glory rests on you."
All nodded obediently—even Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and Zhao Wuji deferred to her. Yu Xiaogang's influence had waned since his castration and the collapse of his theories; others tolerated him only out of courtesy.
As the meeting concluded, Tang Yin raised his hand:
"Instructor Ah Yin, our two Heaven Dou teams have distinct paths: one as a seeded team advances directly to finals; the other competes in preliminaries. To better prepare, I propose swapping positions with Team Two—let them take the seeded slot."
Yu Xiaogang paled and objected: "I oppose this!" He knew losing preliminary battles would cost his team vital combat experience. But his protest was drowned out by cheers from Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Shi Mo, and Shi Meng. As they celebrated, Yu Xiaogang realized Team Shrek was truly gone.
