Victory and Refusal to Challenge

With Team Thirty losing its Soul Elder, the scales of victory immediately tipped in favor of Team 18.

In just three minutes, the three Soul Grandmaster and three Soul Master from Team Thirty were defeated by members of Team 18.

Among them, Wang Sheng, with his ruthless determination, managed to fall to the ground in the square alongside a wounded Soul Master whose overall strength was only at the eleventh or eleventh level.

"Winning team: Team 18!"

Zhong Dingxiu shouted loudly.

"Number 18! Number 18! Number 18!"

Nuoding Academy!

"They're from the Nuoding Academy!"

"Perhaps I can transfer my son to the Nuoding Academy in the future!"

Amid cheers and the Scream from the audience, especially the local residents and Soul Master of Nuoding City, Tang San, encouraged by Zhou Qing, walked up to Zhong Dingxiu and accepted the Crescent Bracelet.

Storage Soul Tool: The Moon Shines Brightly in the Twelve Towers!

It belongs to Tang San!

However, after handing the Gray Pouch to Zhou Qing, Tang San said that the Gold Soul Coin should be kept with him for now. After all, although his the Moon Shines Brightly in the Twelve Towers have twelve spaces, each one is only half a cubic meter. They must be used to store different types of Soul Tool Hidden Weapon and herbs. It is impossible to use them all to store Gold Soul Coin, and there simply isn't enough room for them.

"No problem, I'll manage the money."

Zhou Qing clipped the Gray Pouch to his waist, intending to distribute Gold Soul Coin to everyone in the team as a reward for participating in the competition after returning. This was agreed upon before the competition—naturally, it would be deducted from Tang San's 1.5 million, since the Moon Shines Brightly in the Twelve Towers returned to Tang San.

"I'll give you a list later so you can check if there are any errors in your Gold Soul Coin expenditure."

"Isn't this a bit too formal?" Tang San felt that this was a bit... impersonal and too businesslike.

"This is necessary. In the future, when we establish our own Soul Hunting Team, or any other team, our expenses and income must be transparent. This can also be considered as joint supervision between the two of us." Zhou Qing also joked, "Otherwise, I suspect that every now and then I will take one or two Gold Soul Coin from your share and put them into my pocket."

"Then I'll listen to you."

Tang San recalled the Tang Sect disciples of his previous life. Whether they were from the outer or inner sects, there were cases of embezzlement. And in the imperial court outside the martial arts world, there were countless corrupt officials.

In the future, when establishing the Tang Sect on the Douluo Continent, the financial records might really need to be made public to prevent corruption.

avoid?

If Zhou Qing knew Tang San's thoughts, he would only scoff, because such things are unavoidable. The main purpose of putting all kinds of bills out in the open is to allow everyone to supervise, so that if problems arise, the corrupt officials can be found in a very short time.

Moreover, even the act of making the bills public is currently only possible within small groups in this Douluo Era...

"Everyone in Team 18."

Zhong Dingxiu led the members of the Star Luo Royal Academy Team forward and asked, "Among you, is there anyone willing to challenge my student? This is a rare opportunity. Once you gain my student's approval, you can join the Star Luo Royal Academy. After graduating successfully, you will become honored guests of all the nobles in Star Luo City. Status and position will be within your grasp. You may even display more outstanding talents and have the opportunity to join our Star Luo Royal Academy Team to showcase your talents to the audience across the continent in the Continental Elite Tournament!"

"I am just Soul Master from a small town, with no chance of going to the Star Luo Empire." Although Mo Hen was tempted, he knew his own limitations. At just over twenty years old, he was only a Soul Grandmaster. How could he possibly catch the eye of the geniuses of the Star Luo Royal Academy Team? It was better not to humiliate himself.

Wang Sheng said, "I don't want to go to the Star Luo Empire; it's too far from home."

Zhong Dingxiu nodded slightly, secretly looking down on the two of them, and then turned his gaze to Zhou Qing and the others. "And you?"

Zhou Qing said, "I'm just a Soul Master, so I won't embarrass myself by showing off."

Tang San said, "My Martial Soul is just Blue Silver Grass."

Zhong Dingxiu was not surprised; after all, geniuses are often arrogant.

"After joining the Star Luo Royal Academy, if I fail to complete the learning tasks assigned by the academy, will I be subjected to torture similar to that of a prisoner?" Romantina asked with a hint of anticipation.

"Won't."

Zhong Dingxiu's eye twitched almost imperceptibly.

"Oh, then I won't take the challenge." Romantina said, showing little interest.

[It's as if you're guaranteed recognition just because you take on a challenge!]

A black line appeared on Zhong Dingxiu's forehead, but he still patiently looked at Xiao Wu.

"I don't want to."

Xiao Wu's words were concise and to the point, expressing her attitude in the most straightforward way.

Star Luo Royal Academy?

There must be Soul Douluo or higher powerhouses among them!

Completing the Secondary Soul Ring Refinement allows one to fully integrate a portion of the aura of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast into their body, thereby achieving the goal of completely concealing their identity.

Xiao Wu estimated that completing the Secondary Soul Ring Refinement would allow her to remain undetected by Soul Douluo, while completing the Secondary Soul Ring Refinement would allow her to more boldly roam under the noses of Titled Douluo who are not skilled in Spiritual Power detection.

Therefore, before reaching the second ring, no Advanced Soul Master Academy with Soul Douluo level members is Xiao Wu's first choice.

Seeing that Xiao Wu refused, Zhong Dingxiu didn't press Qingzhu Zhu further. She was originally from the Star Luo Empire, and as long as she was of the right age, she could join the Star Luo Academy and become the Deputy Team of the Star Luo Royal Second Team!

The Star Luo Royal Academy has two teams, which are prepared for Dai Mubai, so that he can also form a team in the future to compete with Dai Weisi.

It's a pity—

Dai Mubai was disappointing. Although he joined the Star Luo Royal Academy at the age of eight, he had not yet found any members willing to join his team.

After all, the others at the Star Luo Royal Academy aren't stupid either. Knowing that Dai Mubai Dai Weisi and can't even match his spirit, why would they be willing to invest?

This is a losing proposition! It's costing you your future!

Only some fallen nobles were willing to take a gamble, but how could Dai Mubai possibly look down on those fallen noble scions?

This has resulted in the current Star Luo Royal Second Team still consisting of only Dai Mubai.

"Zhu Zhuqing!"

After the crowd around Nuoding Plaza dispersed, Dai Mubai called out to Qingzhu Zhu, who was about to leave with Zhou Qing and the others, "You... what are you doing here?"

I'm indignant!

Dissatisfied!

But Dai Weisi and the others were still there. No matter how unhappy they were, they could only show concern, which made his swollen face look somewhat comical.

When Dai Weisi saw that Dai Mubai had exposed Zhu Zhuqing's identity, he cursed the boy for being shallow. But at this moment, he could only step forward and say, "Zhu Zhuqing, we are going to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy for an exchange after this. Since you are here, why don't you come along? Being with your sister will be good for your safety."
