Tournament Selection
The Holy Light Knights quelled the chaos caused by the Evil Soul Master, and to this day, not a single Evil Soul Master has committed any acts of slaughter.
The Tianshu Library opens up comprehensive knowledge in the fields of Soul Master and Soul Engineer, directly breaking the monopoly of knowledge held by the nobility and giving Soul Master worldwide an opportunity to rise in status.
The Spirit Pagoda established the Awakening Hall, offering free Martial Soul awakening. To date, hundreds of thousands of eligible children and ordinary people who missed the awakening period have awakened their Martial Soul, and even those without Soul Power can improve their physical attributes.
The Tianshu Academy offers a six-year free education program. Students who awaken their Martial Soul at age six are eligible for a free place in the academy until age Shi'er. Tuition is waived during this period. Even if they don't become powerful Soul Master, they can still earn a living with a skill.
The Tianshu Department Store, single-handedly, has driven the development of the entire world. They never cared about the leakage of their technology; if someone wanted to learn, they would teach them, and they never held back. This led many Soul Engineers to consider themselves Tianshu's students, such as a certain Clockwork Princess who analyzed all principles...
The appearance of Tianshu has also brought many hidden sects back into the Douluo Continent. Each of them possesses strength comparable to that of a top-tier sect. Despite their formidable power, they are still subject to the jurisdiction of the Tianshu Tower, which gives an idea of just how terrifying Tianshu's strength is.
Each of these events, taken individually, would be a world-shaking affair. Now, they've all been orchestrated by a single force—how could this not pique one's curiosity?
It's fortunate that Tianshu didn't have any ambition to dominate the world; otherwise, with his strength, he could have completely controlled the entire world, and even if the Star Luo Empire and Sun Moon Kingdoms joined forces, they might not be able to defeat him.
(The other countries: You think too highly of us.)
"Is everyone here?"
"Everyone's here, brother."
Huo Yutong counted the number of people on her side.
Myself, Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan.
There were eight people in total. Apart from the first six, I didn't really know the last two.
On Tang Wuling's side, there were five people: Xie Xie, Xu Xiaoyan, Xu Qingfeng, Xu Qingyu. If it weren't for Na'er and Gu Yue still sleeping inside the Map of Mountains, Rivers, and the State, there would have been seven people on her side.
"The original Shrek Seven Devils remained still, and Wuling spoke to you in the name of Tianshu."
Tang Wuling immediately straightened up. This was the first time her master had assigned her a task! She absolutely had to do it well!
"It's said to be Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament. Since it says it's for the entire continent, I think we should be able to participate too."
Zhang Lexuan:!!!
Ma Xiaotao and others:!!!
Their eyes slowly widened, as if they had realized something.
"Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo, you sisters Tang Wuling's team as substitutes. If Gu Yue and her sister don't return before the end of the competition, then you two will step in."
"Yes, Your Highness!"*2
Our twin sisters stood tall and straight, as if afraid that Wei Lin would see anything unpleasant about them.
"Don't be nervous. I'm always good to my own people, of course, provided you don't make any mistakes. Perform well, and I'll grant each of you a resident status in Tianshu, as well as a regular residence in Tianshu's residential area."
If the beginning is pressure, then the end is a huge windfall.
You should know that residents of Tianshu get discounts when buying things in the mall, and earning Credits is the easiest thing for them. The subsequent rewards are practically handed to them.
Moreover, with a house, they can bring their immediate family members to Tianshu. Even if they can't get a resident certificate, they can get a temporary one. They can work hard for a while to earn some merit points and then get permanent ones for their parents.
As everyone knows, leaving Tianshu is easy, but joining Tianshu has extremely high requirements: you need to own property and accumulate enough merit. The rules for each requirement sound simple, but in practice, they are extremely difficult to implement.
"Your Highness! Please rest assured, we will do our utmost and will not hold the team back!"
The road ahead has been opened for them; if they still can't walk, they might as well just run themselves over!
His Highness has given so much! If Wei Lin said he wanted a rice bowl, the two sisters would wash the ingredients and deliver the meal without hesitation. The reason is simply loyalty!
"Tianshu Team, with Xu Qingfeng as captain and Tang Wuling as vice-captain. Any objections?"
No! *5
Putting aside Xu Qingfeng's help to them, her support abilities from the Past Shadow Martial Soul alone are enough to make her the captain. Moreover, it is said that she has been with Prince Wei Lin (her brother) the longest, which means she is practically the rightful heiress. They never even considered trying to compete with Xu Qingfeng for the position.
They never imagined that their brother would allow them to go too far in their argument.
(Wei Lin: Although I don't know what you guys planned, I feel like I've been completely taken care of.)
As for Tang Wuling? Needless to say, her combat power is off the charts; only Xu Qingyu could put her to a fight.
These two are a perfect example of "you can kill me instantly, I can kill you instantly."
If Xu Qingyu manages to catch her, she can use her mixed attribute damage to convert into true damage and instantly kill Tang Wuling.
Similarly, once Xu Qingyu is locked onto by Tang Wuling's Emperor Engine, there's no point in her fighting anymore. Once the rules are locked and changed, she can't touch Tang Wuling at all. If the two of them make a move at the same time, then they can fight for a whole day and night without a clear winner, and neither of them can do anything to the other.
"Yutong, you are participating in this competition as members of the Shrek Academy, not as reserves."
"Vice Pavilion Master, isn't this inappropriate?"
Just as Dai Yueheng opened his mouth, a figure crashed down.
"Boom!"
His head had sunk deep into the earth, and he had fallen into a peaceful sleep.
"What the hell are you doing, interrupting me? You think I won't castrate you right now?"
Shrek Six Monsters:...
This pavilion master seems... too difficult to get along with.
"Does anyone else have any questions?"
"No." *6
Wei Lin snorted coldly and returned to Zhang Lexuan's side once again.
Below, Ma Xiaotao looked at Wei Lin with a strange gaze. She still vaguely remembered the woman who almost turned her into 2.5 Xiaotao. A strange sense of admiration and curiosity welled up in her heart.
Ling Luochеn was somewhat hesitant to look at the other person. She was extremely conflicted. A teacher from the Heavenly Ice Hall had seen her Martial Soul and helped her out, saying that once her Martial Soul became the Ultimate Ice, she would have the opportunity to participate in the Heavenly Ice Hall's assessment.
Should she try to make her presence known and leave a good impression? After all, the other person is her boss. She's so conflicted.
