"Registration is done. There are still a few days until the competition. Everyone, feel free to relax."
On the top floor of the Star Emperor Hotel, in the conference room of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, Lin Jiayi announced that the problem had been solved and said with a smile.
Ma Rulong asked: "Director, is there any news from Shrek? I heard that they arrived yesterday and have been staying indoors ever since."
The Star Emperor Hotel arranged the old enemies, Shrek and the Sun Moon Team, to be neighbors. They see each other every day. Whenever the Sun Moon Team talks about the game, they inevitably think of the neighbors. This is the pride of the millennium runner-up.
Lin Jiayi said: "I used my spies. A small team from Shrek arrived early, but they are all young. Among them are the young masters of the Haotian Sect and the Jiubao Liuli Sect."
"What's strange is that the new team that arrived yesterday were all young people, and they looked like they were all in the reserve team."
"Huh~ Just send young people. It seems that Shrek is really arrogant. I am becoming more and more interested." Xiao Hongchen raised his eyebrows, showing an eager look.
There was a strange look on Xu Tianxi's face. None of the main team came. They couldn't be wiped out, right? How could the combination of Xuan Zi and the Death Messenger be so powerful?
Meng Hongchen asked: "Director, what about other colleges?"
Lin Jiayi crossed his arms and smiled, "I've learned a little bit about this. Xingluo Royal Academy is quite strong this time. The others are not worth mentioning. The championship will definitely be in our pocket."
Ma Rulong's combat effectiveness ranks among the best among all the captains of the regular teams. Coupled with three new generation masters and the combat power of four Soul Emperors, two of whom have the skill of martial soul fusion, he really can't think of how he can lose. Will Shrek send a Soul Saint to participate?
Another teacher leading the team, Ma Rulong's grandfather, said: "In addition, I don't know whether Xingluo intentionally or unintentionally said that they are looking forward to the clash between us and Shrek."
"This kind of cliché isn't surprising, is it? The vast majority of the audience are looking forward to our showdown with Shrek, and the ticket money will be a very considerable income." Ma Rulong said.
Old Ma pondered, "Supposedly, that's the case, but when we signed up, the people in charge were a little too enthusiastic. I even had the illusion that they wanted us to win."
As he spoke, Mr. Ma couldn't help laughing. This idea was too ridiculous.
"Ding~ling~ling~"
At this moment, the sound of soul communication came from Lin Jiayi's pocket. He took out the soul communicator and answered the call in front of everyone.
"Hello, Dean, I'm Jiayi, I need your help... What?! Shrek is finished?! And it was Tianxi who..."
Lin Jiayi's voice suddenly rose an octave, and the expression on his face changed from calm to surprise, then to ecstasy, and finally to a gloating smile.
"Okay, okay, I understand, I understand. I will make sure that this message spreads throughout Xingluo City in the shortest possible time. Shrek has done such evil, so it's not the fault of the heroes from the Three Kingdoms..."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Jiayi faced everyone's concerned gazes, leaned on the table, and said word by word:
"Everyone, the dean just sent me some great news. Just two hours ago, the Xuanming Sect, a hidden sect from the former Douluo Continent, came out to attack Shrek City and achieved an unparalleled and brilliant victory!"
"In the fierce battle, Xuanming Taishang, His Majesty Yong heng, and Senior Xu Xiaoyun took action and defeated the second strongest person in Shrek, Taotie Douluo Xuanzi, who had a cultivation base of 98th level, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, and completely destroyed his cultivation base..."
…
"Not long after, Shrek's strongest man, Seagod Pavilion Master, Dragon God Douluo Mu En returned and fought with Eternal Douluo Old Senior Xu, but he was still defeated and almost died on the spot."
Prime Minister Xing Luo reported to Xu Jiawei on the throne in vivid detail: "Just when Dragon God Douluo was about to be killed by Eternal Douluo, Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao, who was as famous as Dragon God Douluo more than a hundred years ago and was known as the Twin Holy Dragons of Light and Darkness, appeared and saved his life."
"Dragon Emperor Douluo and Eternal Douluo are also old acquaintances. He came forward to persuade Eternal Douluo to stop. All the strong men of Shrek swore an oath that they would never seek revenge on Xuanming Sect in this lifetime. Only then did the disaster finally pass."
"After the battle subsided, Yongjian Douluo and Dragon Emperor Douluo tested their skills and were evenly matched. At this time, Dragon God Douluo died, and the battle between Yongjian Douluo and Dragon Emperor Douluo ended."
"In other words, the two most powerful men of Shrek have fallen to the hands of the Eternal Douluo of Xuanming Sect?" Xu Jiawei stood up from the throne with a look of deep horror on his face.
First he defeated the 98th level Taotie, crippling his cultivation, then he defeated the 99th level Dragon God, causing him to fall; then he fought the 99th level Dragon Emperor to a draw. Who in the world can have a more terrifying record than Eternal Douluo? The Prime Minister nodded solemnly and said, "That's right! I think that Eternal Douluo's strength is beyond the imagination of many people. If he hadn't come from a hidden sect, he would have been famous all over the world."
"Some time ago, our country's soul masters who were hunting souls in the Star Dou Great Forest felt a great earthquake from afar. According to them, on that day, they could see a raging torrent and a terrifying black dragon roaring in the sky, which is quite similar to the scene today."
Xu Jiawei understood the meaning of the string music and quickly thought of what the Prime Minister meant. His pupils shrank suddenly: "Are you saying that Yongjian Douluo went into the Xingdou Great Forest some time ago to challenge the Beast God Di Tian?"
"That's right." The Prime Minister said excitedly.
There is only one black dragon soul beast in the Star Dou Great Forest that possesses the ultimate Douluo combat power, and that is the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian, the most powerful man in the Douluo Continent who is feared by all the world.
In Douluo Continent, Di Tian is synonymous with invincibility. Although Eternal Douluo is certainly not his opponent, he obviously did not suffer serious injuries in that battle.
In other words, challenge the Beast God Di Tian and come out safe and sound.
Judging from his battle record, he is very likely the best in the world, perhaps no less than the Evil Emperor of the Demon Forest and the Snow Emperor of the Far North.
The significance of such a strong man is self-evident. He is an invincible existence in the human world. Millions of troops are no different from chickens and dogs in front of him. If he can be pulled to their side... Xu Jiawei dares to march west and north to unify the entire continent! Just thinking about that scene makes the emperor feel a strong sense of fanaticism, and his body under the dragon robe is shaking a little.
only...
Calming down from his excitement, Xu Jiawei concentrated on thinking for a moment, and a bitter smile appeared on his face: "Prime Minister, he is the ancestor of a hidden sect, and he has always been low-key in the past. If Shrek hadn't bullied him too much, I'm afraid the world would not know that he is already a Limit Douluo, and we can't win him over."
"Besides, the Xuanming Sect is also in the Tianhun Empire... It's not our turn anyway. At most, we can try to win over the young geniuses born in the Xuanming Sect. I only regret that the Xuanming Sect is not in my Xingluo. Otherwise, why would I hesitate to personally go to their door and ask them to come out of seclusion?"
Speaking of this, Xu Jiawei felt depressed. Why are the powerful hidden sects such as Haotian Sect and Xuanming Sect all in the Tianhun Empire?
Their Xingluo Empire is vast and rich in resources, with strong national strength, and is the largest of the three empires.
In this place, apart from their Xingguan Sect, there are no other powerful hidden sects? It is so difficult to find a helper.
The most infuriating thing is that the ancestor of their Xingguan Sect is only level 98, and it is estimated that he will die with Dragon God Douluo in a few months; by then, the strongest combat force of their Xingluo Empire will be just a great-uncle who is level 97, and he will have no obvious advantage over the Douluo Empire.
Xu Jiawei sometimes even wondered whether he should quickly train a prince to inherit the throne while he himself went into seclusion to become a Super Douluo and become the Xu family's new most powerful person.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Although our people are martial artists, for some reason, our soul master resources are still not as good as those of the Heavenly Soul Empire. Even the Dragon Emperor Douluo is from the Heavenly Soul Empire..."
The Prime Minister smiled bitterly and said tentatively: "Your Majesty, there is no rush to train spirit masters. How about we try to promote free spirit awakening? We have the most people in our country, I don't believe we can't find some geniuses."
Hearing this, Xu Jiawei frowned with a headache: "This matter is too serious. Those nobles will not be willing to spit out the meat in their mouths. Although the power of the royal family can barely suppress most of the nobles, we cannot have a large-scale civil strife at the moment."
"Besides, this is something that Spirit Hall has done before... whoever brings it up will become the target of public criticism; at most, it can only be implemented in Xingluo City."
The Prime Minister was speechless.
In Douluo Continent, opposing Spirit Hall is absolutely right. As for why, please look at the seven statues of Shrek Academy.
Free awakening is more beneficial than harmful to the country, but not to the nobles. Ten thousand years ago, the nobles followed the great Sea God Tang San to eradicate the Spirit Hall, the largest evil soul master organization on the continent, not to allow the common people to have a chance to get on the table and grab the meat from the nobles ten thousand years later.
Interests always move people's hearts, no matter where they are.
Far away in Shrek Academy, Yan Shaozhe woke up slowly and after his grief, he once again devoted himself to the struggle for the interests of the Wuhun Department.
When new Sea God Pavilion Master Song took office, Yan Shaozhe spoke actively, saying that the current Shrek Academy needed a big victory to wash away the dull sadness.
"I think we need to go all out in this tournament. Not only should we send Xiao Tao to provide reinforcements, but we should also send two other qualified students from the Wuhun Department to provide reinforcements as well."
Yan Shaozhe said passionately: "This disaster will definitely make all the forces of the four empires re-examine us, and even despise us. I can imagine how dark the minds of those ambitious jackals are when they think of Shrek."
"We must do our utmost to defend our Shrek championship in order to deter those people with evil ambitions. Shrek is always Shrek, and it is not something that can be coveted by villains!"
Elder Song, who was sitting at the main seat, frowned and said, "But Shaozhe, Elder Mu had already decided on this matter before he died. It is enough to let Xiaotao go alone."
"The times have changed. The teacher is indeed wise, but the situation is different now. How can it remain unchanged? The teacher's words may not be completely correct."
Yan Shaozhe said earnestly: "I know the teacher's painstaking efforts in training soldiers, but Mr. Song, the soldiers in the outer courtyard are soldiers, but the soldiers in the inner courtyard are not soldiers? The inner courtyard is the long-tested core of Shrek, and the outer courtyard is a little far away after all."
"During this crisis, we must pay more attention to cultivating true Shrek people."
As soon as Yan Shaozhe's voice fell, it immediately caused a stir in the Sea God Pavilion. Most of the elders showed their approval, and even Xian Lin'er, who had always been at odds with Yan Shaozhe, did not say a word of objection.
Seeing this, Elder Song sighed softly. Although he had inherited the position of Sea God Pavilion Master, Yan Shaozhe, the disciple whom Elder Mu had trusted and cultivated during his lifetime, ultimately had a prestige that was not much inferior to his own.
Elder Mu passed away, Elder Xuan withdrew, and the Sea God Pavilion lost two seats. Yan Shaozhe can unite the three deans to compete with the elders, and he also has supporters among the elders.
It is somewhat ironic that Mu En had played an indispensable role in Yan Shaozhe's current prestige, as he was the successor of the next generation cultivated by Mu En. After Mu En and Xuan Zi were finished, some elders inevitably transferred their feelings for the two to Yan Shaozhe.
Song Lao knew this very well, but she couldn't refute the words "cultivate true Shrek people", so she sighed and nodded: "Okay, everyone vote."
Seven votes in favor, the proposal passed.
Yan Shaozhe smiled and continued, "In order to show how seriously we take the competition, I suggest that Mei'er and Le Xuan bring reinforcements with Bei Bei and the others to Xingluo City to protect the students' safety. What do you think?"
All votes in favor, passed.
Old Song looked at the elders who were persuaded by Yan Shaozhe one by one, and felt an inexplicable sense of powerlessness in her heart. As the leader of the Sea God Pavilion, her role was more symbolic than practical.
"Forget it. I am not as smart and capable as Shaozhe. I hope that you and Lexuan can grow up as soon as possible and take over my class..."
