The Situation of Each Team and the Sudden Appearance of the Shrek Group

According to the rules of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, the top two teams from each empire are exempt from the first round of matches. The three seeded teams, Spirit Hall Academy Team, Heavenly Dou Royal Academy Team, and Star Luo Royal Academy Team, are even exempt from the first two rounds and will not appear until the third round.

So, in a sense, this first round of the competition was indeed not much different from a battle of idiots.

At least that's the case for the Heavenly Star Academy Team.

There are only two opponents they can take seriously: one is the Spirit Hall Academy Team, which has one Soul Emperor, two Soul Kings, and four Soul Ancestor, making them exceptionally strong.

That's right, Hu Liena had already reached level 59 after absorbing the Thousand Jun Ant Emperor Torso Bone given to her by Lu Yuan.

Almost half a year has passed since then, and Hu Liena has long since broken through to the next level, now at level 62.

She is five years older than Lu Yuan, which means she is only nineteen years old this year!

A nineteen-year-old Soul Emperor at level sixty-two is an absolutely terrifying number.

Although she couldn't compare to Qian Renxue, who reached level 68 Soul Emperor at the age of 20, she was still enough to stand out among countless people on the continent. After all, Qian Renxue was a rare and outstanding woman on the Douluo Continent, the first person in the original work to become a god, so her talent was naturally extraordinary.

And don't forget that Qian Renxue has innate level 20 full Soul Power. She is the only person on the entire continent with such talent, so her strength is self-evident.

The other team is naturally the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy Team, consisting of one Soul King and six Soul Ancestor!

It might not sound like much, but it includes the troublemaker Tang San, the shameless tiger Dai Mubai, and Yu Tianheng. Tang San, in particular, although he is only Soul King, possesses the Clear Sky Sect's unique skills and cultivates Twin Martial Souls simultaneously. His strength is far beyond that of an ordinary Soul King.

Furthermore, they possess Seven-in-One Fusion Skill, and after fusion, their strength may even surpass that of the Spirit Hall Team.

These two teams are the ones Heavenly Star Squad should be paying attention to. In fact, it could be said that if Lu Yuan doesn't play, they can't beat either of these two teams.

After all, although Zhu Zhuqing is powerful, she cannot defeat Hu Liena, a Soul Emperor, in a one-on-one fight, and it would be difficult for her to defeat Tang San, who cultivates Twin Martial Souls.

Moreover, Lu Yuan suspected that Tang San, Dai Mu, Bai Yutianheng, and others might possess some strange abilities.

Only Lu Yuan knew these things; he didn't tell the Heavenly Star Academy Team members because he had no intention of letting them play in these two matches.

Lu Yuan doesn't need teammates, or rather, the teammates he needs must be like Qian Renxue, the kind who won't hold him back.

The Heavenly Star Squad's strength was still a bit low. Apart from Ning Rongrong, who could greatly enhance Lu Yuan's abilities, the others were basically useless. Even Zhu Zhuqing could only barely keep up with his pace.

So either they play, or Lu Yuan plays alone; that's basically it.

Inside the suite, Lu Yuan and Zhu Zhuqing slept in each other's arms; indeed, neither of them woke up.

Don't get me wrong, we didn't do anything wrong. We just drank too much last night. Yesterday, everyone got together and stayed at the Holy Light Grand Hotel, a very high-end place. Plus, we had a bye today and no games, so everyone was happy and drank too much.

Although Lu Yuan was in good health, he couldn't withstand being forced to drink so much. Although he didn't get drunk in the end, he was still a little dizzy and lightheaded. After falling asleep, he has been sleeping ever since.

However, after sleeping for so long, Lu Yuan finally woke up.

Looking at Zhu Zhuqing, who was fast asleep in his arms, Lu Yuan shook his head helplessly and gently stroked her long black hair.

He wondered if this girl was getting impatient because she had already slept with Qian Renxue and Hu Liena, while he had waited two years without touching her. In addition, after not seeing each other for three months, she was so longing for him that she became impulsive.

Last night, seeing that I was quite drunk, this girl actually took the initiative to seduce me. With her allure and the alcohol, I was really aroused and almost couldn't resist. If it weren't for the Qingqi Sutra which kept me somewhat clear-headed in that situation, I would definitely have been taken advantage of last night.

Of course, they'll eat her sooner or later, but the key is that she's still young, only fourteen. If she were sixteen, she definitely wouldn't have escaped last night; she would have been completely devoured long ago.

God knows how much he was suffering.

Sighing again, Lu Yuan gently pinched Zhu Zhuqing's little face. Putting everything else aside, this little kitten was really well-behaved when she was asleep, and she was very lovable.

Perhaps sensing Lu Yuan pinching her cheek, Zhu Zhuqing, who was asleep, suddenly woke up.

She looked at Lu Yuan, a blush rising on her cool, pretty face. Remembering what happened last night, her face felt hot.

Shyness was one thing, but what bothered her more was that she hadn't succeeded under those circumstances, which left her feeling somewhat resentful. It was a decision she had made with great courage, and she also wanted to take her relationship with Lu Yuan a step closer; she didn't want to fall too far behind Qian Renxue and Hu Liena.

"Awake?" Lu Yuan smiled slightly as he looked at Zhu Zhuqing.

"Mm!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded gently as she looked at Lu Yuan.

"If you're awake, then get up. Let's go watch today's match later. We're free today, so I'll watch the match with you and then we can wander around a bit." Lu Yuan said with a smile, pinching Zhu Zhuqing's delicate nose.

"Okay, I understand!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded obediently.

Both sides tacitly avoided mentioning what happened last night.

After getting dressed and washing up, and having breakfast at the hotel, Lu Yuan pulled Zhu Zhuqing towards the competition venue.

As Lu Yuan had predicted, today's matches weren't particularly exciting. The only notable match was between the Plant Academy and the Purple Orchid Academy from the Star Luo Empire, which was quite intense.

However, Lu Yuan wasn't very interested in watching any further. He took Zhu Zhuqing's hand and prepared to take her to explore Spirit City. After all, they hadn't seen each other for three months, and he wanted to spend some quality time with her.

Just as Lu Yuan was about to leave, a group of people came from the street not far away. It was this group of people that made Lu Yuan's eyes narrow. He recognized these people.

He just didn't expect to run into them here.

They were none other than Flender and his group from the Shrek Academy, and naturally, Oscar and Ma Hongjun, those two lovable characters, were also with them.
