Tianhai Alliance Competition

Tianhai Alliance Competition?

The classroom immediately erupted.

The Tianhai Alliance Competition was held in cities along the eastern coast.

Skysea City, the largest city on the eastern coast.

A place that had absolutely nothing to do with Mingdu.

Why were they suddenly going there to compete?

Lu Jun frowned slightly.

He had an ominous feeling.

"Quiet." The Homeroom Teacher tapped the podium. "This Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition is extremely important."

"Because a team from Shrek Academy will be attending that competition for an Exhibition Match."

"And our goal, naturally, is to measure ourselves against Shrek Academy's team."

"More importantly, at the competition's opening ceremony, we'll be having an Exhibition Match with Shrek Academy!"

That name instantly silenced the classroom.

Shrek, the Continent's Number One Academy, the Holy Land in the hearts of all Soul Masters.

And Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was Shrek Academy's counterpart.

The rivalry between these two great academies had lasted for more than ten thousand years.

There had been victories and defeats on both sides. Each wanted to use the other as a stepping stone to climb to greater status and power.

The Homeroom Teacher swept his gaze across the class and continued.

"After careful consideration, the academy has decided that Lu Jun, Gu Yue Na, Long Chen, and students from other classes will form a Seven-Person Team to represent the academy in battle!"

"Whoa..."

The entire class erupted in an uproar.

Being able to represent Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy in battle, and even fight Shrek Academy—this was something every one of them wanted to do.

Long Chen shot to his feet, his face deathly pale.

"Teacher, I-I don't think I can do it. Could you pick someone else?"

Long Chen, who had once been extremely confident, had become deeply insecure after meeting Lu Jun.

There was always someone better, and a sky beyond the sky.

Just when you thought yourself invincible, someone might descend from the heavens.

"Sit down." The Homeroom Teacher glared at him. "Your level twenty-seven Light Sacred Dragon Martial Soul is the strongest in the class aside from those two. If you don't go, who will?"

"Besides, this is an opportunity for you to train. It proves that the academy thinks highly of you, not to mention that you'll be fighting Shrek Academy."

"Therefore, not only must we win, we must win beautifully!"

The Homeroom Teacher waved his fist excitedly.

"We must crush Shrek! Let them know that Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy isn't to be trifled with!"

"Besides, with Lu Jun, our trump card, on the team this time, there definitely won't be any problems."

The entire class turned to look at Lu Jun, their eyes filled with admiration and anticipation.

Lu Jun felt a headache coming on.

This felt too sudden.

Something was fishy.

What if Tang Sect pulled something while he was competing in Skysea City? Then he would really be finished.

"Student Lu Jun, are you confident?"

While Lu Jun was lost in thought, the Homeroom Teacher called his name and pulled him back to reality.

Lu Jun raised his hand. "Teacher, may I ask why we're suddenly going to Skysea City for a competition? Didn't we usually just compete within Mingdu?"

The Homeroom Teacher explained.

"This is the academy's arrangement. Student Lu Jun, you also understand the conflict between us and Shrek Academy. Therefore, in every aspect, we must surpass Shrek Academy."

"To put it simply, wherever Shrek Academy competes, we will compete as well."

"Then does Shrek Academy usually win more, or do we?" Lu Jun asked one more question.

"Well..." The Homeroom Teacher's expression became a little awkward. "Generally speaking, Shrek Academy wins more often. After all, their educational foundation is stronger than Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's."

"But we aren't weak either. At the very least, we've broken quite a few of Shrek Academy's Undefeated Myth records."

Gu Yue Na suddenly chuckled.

"Interesting."

"I understand."

Lu Jun sighed.

It seemed he had no choice but to go this time.

I should contact Martial Aunt and see what arrangements she has made.

After class, Lu Jun immediately used his Soul Guidance Communication device to contact his Martial Aunt.

"Hello?" Leng Yulai's languid voice came through the receiver.

"Martial Aunt, it's me." Lu Jun lowered his voice. "The academy arranged for us to go to Skysea City for a competition against Shrek Academy."

The other end of the communicator suddenly fell silent for several seconds.

"Oh, that matter. I know."

"...Martial Aunt, aren't you worried at all?"

The corner of Lu Jun's mouth twitched.

"Tang Sect has its eye on me. We're going all the way out there for a competition—isn't that handing Tang Sect an opportunity?"

"Don't worry. I'll protect you in secret throughout the entire journey. Not only that..."

Leng Yulai paused, and a hint of amusement suddenly entered her voice.

"Spirit Pagoda has specially assigned a colleague to assist me."

"A colleague?" Lu Jun froze. "Who?"

"Your other teacher, Gu Chenyu."

Lu Jun nearly choked on his own saliva.

"Don't underestimate him just because he's a Saint Craftsman." Leng Yulai chuckled. "His combat ability isn't low either. After all, his Martial Soul ensures that he has basic combat capabilities."

"Besides, he is also a disciple of Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua and a Four-Word Dou Armor Master. If we really fought, he wouldn't be much weaker than me."

"With the two of us here, if Tang Sect still dares set its sights on you, they'll be looking for shit with a lantern."

Lu Jun did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Still, with two Super Douluo secretly protecting him, one of whom was even a Four-Word Dou Armor Master, there truly was no need to worry about Tang Sect causing trouble.

"Thank you, Martial Aunt. Please thank Teacher Gu for me as well," Lu Jun said sincerely.

"Cut it out." Leng Yulai snorted. "Remember, from now on, your Soul Guidance Communication device must remain powered on twenty-four hours a day. That Saint Craftsman and I will take turns monitoring your location."

"Understood."

After ending the call, Lu Jun let out a long breath.

Just as he put the Soul Guidance Communication device back into his Storage Soul Tool, he noticed Gu Yue Na beside him studying him.

"Finished contacting them?"

Lu Jun nodded.

"Spirit Pagoda will send people to protect me."

"Two Super Douluo, at that?" Gu Yue Na looked at him with a faint smile. "I heard everything."

"But..." Gu Yue Na suddenly leaned closer. "I'm more curious about why Tang Sect is so interested in you."

Her breath brushed against Lu Jun's ear.

"What secret are you hiding?"

Gu Yue Na took the initiative and began probing whether Lu Jun knew that she was a Divine Artifact Transformation who had taken human form.

Lu Jun's Adam's apple bobbed. Just as he did not know how to answer, Long Chen's shout suddenly came from ahead.

"Brother Lu, what are we supposed to do about the competition a month from now?"

Long Chen looked over with a worried expression.

"If it were you, there definitely wouldn't be anything to worry about in the competition. But what about me? I'm only level twenty-seven. At the competition, I'll be among the weakest."

"Don't worry. We should be participating in the youth division," Lu Jun said. "The Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition is quite large, and there are many different categories."

"Didn't you hear the teacher? Soul Master competitions are divided into the Individual Competition, the Three-person Team Competition, and the seven-person team competition."

"So you don't need to worry. If you really are worried, then cultivate properly before the competition and strive to reach Three Ring Soul Elder."

Long Chen scratched his head.

"Easy for you to say. How could it possibly be that simple?"

Lu Jun's heart sank, and he was still somewhat worried.

Even though he knew two Super Douluo would be protecting him, he was still concerned for his own safety.

Did he really have to go to this competition?
