The Soul Master Competition preliminaries have begun!
...
Shrek Academy.
Yu Xiaogang faced the Shrek Seven Devils and said in a deep voice:
"Today is the day the Soul Master Competition begins, the time to test the results of your training has arrived! Let the other academies see what a monster is!"
A fire was burning in his heart.
That damned Lin Xiao, with his glib tongue, actually sponged off his reputation and wrote a book called Critique of the Ten Core Theories of Martial Souls, causing him to become a laughingstock in the world of Martial Soul theory!
On the contrary, Lin Xiao's reputation soared!
In Yu Xiaogang's view, Lin Xiao was simply using sophistry and seizing upon his slightest negligence to fool the world!
It was hateful that everyone was blind to the truth!
After Lin Xiao tore down the fig leaf of Martial Soul theory, Yu Xiaogang's saying, "There are no useless Martial Souls, only useless people," hit the bullseye many years later, seeming to mock his current plight.
It was all Lin Xiao's fault!
Now Yu Xiaogang had no place to stand. Apart from Liu Erlong and Flender continuing to support him, everyone else treated him as a joke!
While feeling extremely aggrieved, Yu Xiaogang placed his last hope on the Soul Master Competition. As long as Shrek Academy could stand out in the Soul Master Competition, he would be able to turn the tables!
Yu Xiaogang's gaze fell on Tang San.
The reason he took Tang San as his disciple and taught him with painstaking effort all these years was to use Tang San's success to prove himself, wasn't it?
"Tang San, I don't ask much of you."
"But remember! At all costs, you must risk your life to become one of the top three in the Soul Master Competition!"
Tang San nodded emphatically.
He knew that his teacher said this to allow him to use hidden weapons in the Soul Master Competition.
In fact.
Yu Xiaogang had approached Tang San alone before the Shrek gathering.
He specifically told Tang San that if he really couldn't win, then in the battle, he should try his best to show his personal strength, and even if he lost, he should lose in a way that people would remember!
After all, Tang San was Yu Xiaogang's disciple, and Tang San's strength was linked to Yu Xiaogang's reputation!
When necessary, he could even sacrifice his teammates appropriately in exchange for the opportunity to show off his power!
Tang San asked if this was not good?
But Yu Xiaogang said firmly:
"No! Tang San, the losers will not be remembered, at least if you highlight yourself, everyone will still remember you, and thus remember the Shrek Team."
"This is not selfish, quite the opposite."
"This is all for the team!"
After breakfast, the Shrek Academy set off as a group.
...
Heaven Dou Soul Arena.
The place was packed with people, a dense, dark mass of heads as far as the eye could see.
The Shrek Academy arrived and, amidst the throng, made their way to their designated area.
Subsequently, other teams also entered the arena one after another.
Once all the participating teams had entered,
several figures took their seats on the VIP platform.
Seated in the center was none other than Emperor Xue Ye, clad in a gold and red robe, exuding a composed aura as he surveyed the teams with a gentle gaze, nodding slightly.
To his left was an elderly man in a scarlet robe, wearing a five-pointed platinum crown, one of the Spirit Hall's four Platinum Bishops and the head of the Spirit Hall Holy Temple in Heaven Dou City.
On the right, Ning Fengzhi stood with his hands clasped behind his back, wearing a moon-white robe and a smile as he looked down, giving off a warm and welcoming impression.
These three were the most powerful figures in Heaven Dou City!
However, somewhat strangely, a seat had been reserved next to Ning Fengzhi...
Who was it for?
Many who noticed this were filled with such questions.
In a short while, a massive dark shadow suddenly appeared in the sky.
"Roar~"
With a dragon's roar, a Flood Dragon with a golden horn on its head and scales like emerald green glazed tiles, swam through the void and rushed towards them.
Although this Flood Dragon only had a single horn, the pressure of its bloodline made even the members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan present feel a faint sense of oppression.
As it approached the VIP platform, the Flood Dragon transformed into an old man in a green robe with emerald green eyes.
It was none other than Dugu Bo, arriving late!
"Poison Douluo, this way please!"
The Platinum Bishop actually rose slightly to invite Dugu Bo to take his seat.
Dugu Bo nodded at him and sat down without any politeness.
Then, he exchanged greetings with Ning Fengzhi and Xue Ye.
In a prime location in the stands, Lin Xiao's mouth twitched slightly as he looked at Ye Qingxian with a helpless expression, disparagingly saying:
"Why is Senior Dugu acting like a child? Coming to the opening ceremony of the Soul Master Competition and insisting on making a flashy entrance, how shameless!"
If it were the Dugu Bo of the past, he would naturally not be qualified to sit at the same table as Ning Fengzhi and Emperor Xue Ye, but Dugu Bo's achievements during this period had been remarkable.
Defeating Yu Yuanzhen, suppressing Chrysanthemum Douluo, he had fought against established Titled Douluos!
Most importantly, the Poison Array that Dugu Bo had set up in the Clear Sky Sect some time ago had truly frightened everyone!
What a joke! This Poison Array can even kill a Titled Douluo!
The big shots weren't fools; they quickly realized Dugu Bo's special nature. This Poison attribute Super Douluo was practically worth a whole group!
Naturally, Dugu Bo's status soared.
Looking at him now, Emperor Xue Ye was all smiles and concern!
Ye Qingxian smiled gently.
"If Senior Poison Douluo knew you were talking about him like that behind his back, he'd definitely be blowing his beard and glaring! But Poison Douluo has indeed changed a lot."
"He seems... a lot more cheerful?"
Lin Xiao rolled his eyes, retorting unhappily,
"How could he not be cheerful? His strength has increased, he's beaten up his enemies, his status has risen, and he can find opportunities to show off whenever he wants. I'd be cheerful too!"
"Pfft~"
Perhaps Lin Xiao's words were too amusing, Ye Qingxian burst into laughter.
Like a Peony-like Beauty in full bloom, heavenly fragrance and national beauty, dazzling all the beauties!
And in an inconspicuous corner, a palace-dressed woman with a haggard expression was constantly looking towards Lin Xiao and Ye Qingxian.
Seeing Ye Qingxian's smile, Tang Yuehua couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
But when she came back to her senses, her fingernails pierced into her Palm again...
Her current mood could be described with a four-character idiom:
Ba ga ya lu~
...
On the other side.
Because of Flender's bizarre actions, the Shrek Team, wearing team uniforms that could be described as strange and outlandish, couldn't stand the ridicule from the people around them and had to hide in a corner.
Zhu Zhuqing looked around, searching for Lin Xiao's figure.
Ever since Lin Xiao humiliated Dai Mubai at Shrek Academy last time, he had never contacted her again, even though they had previously been pen pals...
Zhu Zhuqing thought Lin Xiao was afraid of embarrassing her.
Or perhaps he was angry with her because of Dai Mubai's matter, and she was extremely uneasy.
But she had always been grateful to Lin Xiao.
Grateful for Lin Xiao's concern for her, and for those Medicinal Cuisine, which had given her strength no less than Dai Mubai's, and the capital to refuse to practice the Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Dai Mubai.
