If Zhang Lexuan were asked to describe Cai Meir's current appearance, she would use the word "selecting people to devour".
Cai Meir's face was as gloomy as iron, and cold murderous intent continued to emanate from her body. Under the influence of soul power, the Shrek people felt as if they were in the cold winter of December.
When the Sun and Moon Team reached the rest area near Shrek Academy, Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but shudder and cursed, "What's wrong with the environment here in the Xingluo Empire? It's a hot day, but it's still so cold."
Xu Tianxi followed the coldness and saw Cai Meir's murderous eyes. He shook his head and sighed, "This has nothing to do with Xingluo. No matter how warm the place is, it can't stop an unreasonable lunatic from coming here, and a lunatic who is quite powerful."
Meng Hongchen understood and whispered, "Why do I feel like that person wants to eat Fu Ying and us? She seems to be the vice president of Shrek's martial spirit department, right?"
Fu Ying is the name of the Cat-Owl Spirit Master.
Xu Tianxi spread his hands, indicating that he didn't understand: "I think so too, I don't know which sentence irritated her."
Could it really be "You betrayed the glory of Shrek, why don't you die quickly?" The thinking of a senior Shrek person like Cai Meier was really incomprehensible.
Having said that, the Sun-Moon Empire is indeed tolerant towards people from the original three kingdoms, but no one will be exempted from the necessary political review. If they are just people from the original three kingdoms, they can be a little more relaxed, but if they have been to that hellhole of Shrek, the political review must be strengthened.
The seven of them walked a little further away from the Shrek team and found a warm place to sit down.
As soon as Xiao Hongchen sat down, he patted his chest and panted, "Old Xu, you are really brave. You dare to play so excitingly. I thought those words should be left to Director Lin or Mr. Ma."
Don't be fooled by his naive and fearless appearance. He naturally understands the real interests involved.
What they said today was enough for Xu Jiawei to make up his mind to kill them ten times. In the eyes of the other party, it was absolutely treasonous.
If Xu Jiawei was so angry that he sent out a Titled Douluo directly, they could only hope that the academy's ninth-level soul instructor was powerful enough.
Of course, the greatest firepower comes from Xu Tianxi. Although he and Meng sang the same tune and embarrassed Xu Jiawei, his priority is definitely not as high as Xu Tianxi's who has been attacking closely for a long time.
Xu Tianxi chuckled: "According to the dean's plan, Director Lin and the others should have spoken, but I felt that their impact would not be as great as mine, so I took the initiative to take on this job; after all, I participated in writing some of the manuscripts."
"Not everyone likes to listen to what the elderly say, so young people like me are more suitable for this."
Meng Hongchen thought about the lines that Xu Tianxi had just distributed to them before he finished speaking, and felt that more than some of the script might have been written by Xu Tianxi. He said with some concern: "We are talking so harshly, will the people of the original Three Kingdoms really yearn for the sun and the moon after hearing these words? I think it might be dangerous for you to do this."
"Don't worry, it's not just the college, my family has also come here secretly. Director Lin and Mr. Ma are not pushovers, and ordinary scoundrels can't touch us."
In addition to the threat from Shrek, there is also the possibility of being approached by people from the Body Sect. Xu Tianxi had already arranged for someone to come to the competition. He continued, "And just like Lao Xiao said, the three of us are quite famous in the Sun Moon Empire. Some people with intelligence skills know our information without even looking."
"That's right."
"It's a pity that Shrek's Cai Mei'er is too timid. If she really dares to take action, the dean and his men will have a chance to eliminate another Shrek Titled Douluo. She, a level 94 Titled Douluo, is no match for the dean at all."
Meng Hongchen exclaimed: "Grandpa is so sinister."
Somewhere in the audience, an old man in a black robe who did not want to reveal his true identity sneezed and thought it was strange.
At this moment, new teams came on the field. When the people of the Star Luo Empire saw one of the teams appear, the cheers they received were no less than when the Shrek Academy appeared, and much more enthusiastic than when the Sun and Moon Team appeared.
"The next match is between Xingluo Royal Academy and Sun Moon Empire Tianyang Soul Instructor Academy."
Playing at home, the audience of the Star Luo Empire gave the Royal Academy the greatest respect and cheers, and the Royal Academy did not disappoint this enthusiasm, and the main team came out in full force.
Xu Tianxi was surprised to see that this time it was Xu Jiujiu who led the team personally and walked in the front, with Huang Heyun, Dugu Shangshan and others following behind.
"Were you so shocked by our scene that you had to leave? Interesting."
Both sides stood on the competition stage. The Xingluo Royal Academy side, led by Xu Jiujiu, released their martial spirits one after another, showing the strongest lineup in a hundred years - two Soul Emperors, five Soul Kings, and each with the best soul ring configuration.
Xu Tianxi tried to use detection glasses to check everyone's cultivation level and found that Xu Jiujiu, who possessed the Star Crown Martial Soul, had his own isolation and detection capabilities. The level 5 detection glasses could not detect him, but the rest of the members were clearly visible.
"The Dark Demon Tiger Soul Emperor Huang Heyun is level 63, and the soul power of the other team members is above level 55. It is unknown how many souls they have, but their soul power should not be higher than Huang Heyun. Considering the almighty effect of the Star Crown Martial Spirit, this lineup is almost as good as Shrek's heyday regular team."
Xu Tianxi secretly evaluated the Xingluo Royal Academy team and said to the people around him: "I now feel that our opponent in the finals may not be Shrek. Everyone should make other preparations." Xiao Hongchen restrained his frivolous look and stared at the two Soul Emperors on the Xingluo Royal Academy side leisurely, his eyes eager to try.
There were no surprises in the outcome of the battle. Tianyang Soul Instructor Academy was one of the top five academies in the Sun-Moon Empire, but facing the four empires' ace academies and Shrek Academy, it was bound to be defeated. Huang Heyun led the team in a charge and drove them all off the stage.
I don't know if it was to compete with Xu Tianxi, but Xu Jiujiu actually took out a voice-amplifying soul guide after the fight and gave a vivid patriotic speech in front of thousands of spectators in the stadium.
During her speech, she expressed her willingness to welcome the general public to visit the Xingluo Royal Academy as the Princess of Xingluo. The Xingluo royal family has always cherished talents from their own country and the three kingdoms, and is willing to provide the most generous support to the talents from the four empires, and can even waive tuition fees, etc.
This show of skill made Shrek Academy and the Royal Academy of Tianhun and Douling stunned. Well, the Sun-Moon Empire is recruiting talents from you, so you should follow suit, right? The princess of Xingluo Empire, who has always been famous for her virtue, personally came out to recruit people. Everyone is not pretending, right? Xu Jiujiu didn't have any strange expression. He thought to himself, if you want to blame someone, blame the people of the Sun-Moon Empire for being too unrefined and lowering the bottom line. Let's compete together.
When leading the team back to the rest area, Xu Jiujiu always greeted Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Academy with a smile, and his temperament was noble and graceful.
Seeing Xu Jiujiu's extreme rescue, Xu Jiawei on the high platform couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction. His sister's ability to deal with such situations is getting better and better.
Since the accident more than two years ago, my sister seems to have changed completely. She is much more mature in doing things than before and can handle various situations with ease.
However... the incident of the Sun-Moon Empire still made him very angry. It was too much! The captain of the reserve team spoke, and the Hongchen brothers and sisters sang the same tune. In addition, the four students who had not spoken from beginning to end but had martial spirits with deep ties to the three empires and Shrek, this propaganda war was too fierce.
If they were just talking nonsense, Xu Jiawei wouldn't be so angry, but they were telling the truth, which was enough to make people scared.
Most people would probably just sneer and treat it as something for fun, but some high-level intellectuals and nobles in the three empires would definitely take it to heart. Even if only one in ten people had unstable moods, it would be a huge destabilizing factor.
Thinking of this, Xu Jiawei couldn't help but somewhat approve of the captain of the reserve team who spoke the entire time. He dared to say such words instead of using the mouth of the teacher in charge, and he even dared to bet that Xu Jiawei did not have an outburst on the spot. He didn't know whether to say that he was arrogant or confident.
Xu Jiawei had some impression of this person, but not too deep. He used to think of him as a genius, but now he had to elevate him to the same level as those soul engineers above level eight.
After thinking for a while, Xu Jiawei looked at his intelligence chief:
"Wen Qing, the captain of the reserve team just now, if I remember correctly, should be Kong Tianxi, the first genius of the thousand years who has risen to fame in the Sun-Moon Empire in recent years. It is said that he was born in the Sun-Moon royal family and has a moon martial spirit. Do you have any more specific information?"
Wen Qing bowed and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, this person's soul guide talent is unprecedented. He broke through five levels in just over a year. He was already a level 5 soul guide a year ago. Now I think he is already a level 6 soul guide, but it is kept secret."
"As for his specific abilities, I don't know much about them. I just know that he has the ability to become invisible, and he can shoot with two guns in one hand without missing a single shot. He has never lost a match on the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy's Soul Fighting Arena, and he is good at using various types of soul guide guns, such as paralysis and ice. Some people call him the Unbeatable Divine Gun."
"As for the other two boys and girls who sang the same tune with him, they should be the grandchildren of Mingde Hall Master Jing Hongchen, the number one genius of the Sun Moon Empire before Kong Tianxi. It is said that one is good at long-range attacks and the other is good at close combat. They have already demonstrated their abilities just now."
Xu Jiawei nodded slightly and said thoughtfully: "In your opinion, are they really already six-ringed soul emperors?"
Without waiting for Wen Qing to answer, Xu Jiawei answered on his own: "My question is meaningless. They must have already possessed Soul Emperor-level combat power. If they do, it's fine. If not, it would be even more terrifying."
Wen Qing lowered his head and said repeatedly, "Your Majesty is wise."
"Alas… I thought Jiujiu and his generation were the strongest talents in Xingluo in the past hundred years, but I didn't expect their luck to be so bad. The Sun-Moon Empire has also produced three peerless geniuses, and there are many more variables for the championship…"
Xu Jiawei sighed, his eyes gleaming. It seemed that he had to prepare a plan to give a gift to Mingdetang and then kill someone with a borrowed knife.
He is not like Cai Meir who is unable to recognize the facts. When faced with geniuses of this level, only a fool would give them drugs that would damage their future potential in order to squeeze out their potential and enhance their strength. They are already so terrifying now. I am afraid that these three people will be able to reach the Soul Saint realm in five years. By then, they will be the strongest team the continent has ever seen in a thousand years.
Who knows how powerful it will become in a few years. As the Emperor of Xing Luo, he has to take measures.
"Master Mingde, I hope you like the gifts I prepared for you..."
That night.
At the Star King Hotel where the Sun and Moon Team was located, the hotel staff delivered a stack of invitations.
"In order to meet the needs of the major participating teams for rare materials such as soul guides, the Starlight Auction House has carefully provided a batch of suitable soul guides for the major colleges. All major colleges are welcome to visit."
"Time: The night after the elimination round, from 15:30 to 15:30. All colleges can enter the venue 15 minutes in advance with their invitations (there will be a ranking knife in this auction)"
Xu Tianxi: Could the ranking knife be the cursed creature knife? Starlight Auction House is using this thing to fish, they really know how to do business...
