After hearing Elder Xuan's words, everyone went silent. If sects were allowed to partic.i.p.ate in the tournament, they might no longer be odds-on to be the champions anymore. Just like Elder Xuan had said, there would be a lot of trouble if the Body Sect also competed in the tournament, not to mention the rest of the sects on the continent. The Body Sect wasn't the only capable sect. In Huo Yuhao's heart, the Clear Sky Sect was not inferior to the Body Sect.

　　Bei Bei said, "Elder Xuan, it'll be much more difficult for us in this tournament. You called for us because you want us to up our training intensity over the next few months?"

　　Elder Xuan waved his hand and replied, "No matter how the system changes, I'm confident in all of you. In the last tournament, the seven of you brought back the t.i.tle of champions even under such unfortunate circ.u.mstances. Five years on, the seven of you are even better than before. So what if the other sects compete? Although this spells more trouble, I'm sure you'll emerge as champions. However, have the seven of you ever considered the fact that a change in the system will be beneficial for you even if it's a bad thing for the academy? The seven of you belong to the same sect."

　　After hearing his words, everyone was stunned. As members of Shrek's Seven Monsters, they naturally treated themselves as part of Shrek Academy. They were the main competing members of the academy. However, Elder Xuan's words made it sound a little different!

　　Xu Sans.h.i.+ was stunned as he asked, "Elder Xuan, are you saying that you are allowing us to compete in the tournament as part of the Tang Sect…?"
