Arrival on the Star Luo Continent
Afterwards, upon arriving at the destination, it wasn't clear whether they valued it or not; the grand ceremony was merely a formality for Shrek.
After following the established procedures, the two delegations finally parted ways after traveling for some time.
"Alright, this is our upcoming itinerary. First, we'll arrive in the Star Luo Continent Star Luo City, the capital of the Star Luo Empire on the Star Luo Continent. Then, we'll participate in a series of exchange matches. Our main counterpart will be the Star Luo Royal Academy team. After that, we'll head to..."
Wu Zhangkong announced the itinerary, and then, under the arrangement of the Star Luo Empire, they first rested for one night in a coastal city.
The next day, they boarded the Star Luo Empire's Soul Guidance Train and headed to Star Luo City, the capital of the Star Luo Empire.
"Hello, Cai Lao."
At this time, Sima Lanxiao, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and official representative of the Star Luo Empire, was always very polite to Cai Lao.
"Yes, we just received news that a grand youth Soul Master competition is being held in the capital of our Star Luo Empire. It just so happens that your itinerary includes Star Luo City as the first stop. The Shrek Academy students you brought are all outstanding young talents; would they be interested in participating in our youth Soul Master competition?"
"Of course, they may be at a disadvantage in terms of age. But this is definitely the grandest and highest-level competition for the younger generation in our Star Luo Continent. So, if you can participate, you will become the biggest highlight of this competition and play an excellent role in enhancing and promoting the event."
This is something only seasoned veterans do; it's all about achieving their goals.
"No, we're just here for an exchange; there's no need for a competition," said Cai Lao.
"Cai Lao, it's actually not troublesome. With the abilities of the Shrek Academy students, they don't need to participate in the preliminary rounds. They can start directly from the elimination rounds. It won't take too long. And we can guarantee their safety," Sima Lanxiao said.
"Safety? No, that's not what I'm worried about," said Cai Lao.
"It seems you have great confidence in your disciple!" Sima Lanxiao said.
"Isn't that right? Confidence comes from strength, so if you insist that we participate, it's not impossible, but only if the champion's prize is Soul Bone," Cai Lao said.
"Cai Lao, our competition is called the All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, which is divided into various competitions. There are individual competitions, team competitions, and Mecha Tournament, etc. As for the Soul Bone you mentioned, we only award one Soul Bone to the final champion of the individual competition.
"In the team competition, the final reward for the seven-person team competition is one piece of Soul-Forged Metal for each person. The final reward for the two-on-two competition is a ten-thousand-year-old Spiritual Objects. The final reward for the Mecha Tournament is Black-Level Mecha, and the runner-up and third place are Purple-Grade Mecha. Therefore, this Soul Bone can only be obtained in this way."
Sima Lanxiao offered a detailed explanation in an attempt to achieve his goal.
"It sounds good, but the prizes for your different competitions seem to differ quite a bit!" Cai Lao said.
"Yes, the reason why the prizes for one-on-one matches are so generous is because our one-on-one matches are called the Unlimited Challenge Tournament. That is to say, you can use any means to compete in the match, mechs, Battle Armor, Martial Soul, Soul Tool, anything is allowed. However, you have to sign a life-or-death contract."
"Moreover, as you know, Cai Lao, only extremely valuable prizes can attract the most participants. This one-on-one competition is also the most important of all our competitions."
Sima Lanxiao's composed response is now up to Cai Lao to decide.
However, this person from the Star Luo Empire did not believe that the Star Luo Continent would lose.
However, compared to the Douluo Continent, seven-on-seven team battles are the way to go.
Here, it's clear that individual heroism is more valued, but that doesn't really matter.
"Alright, what are the restrictions for participating?" Cai Lao asked calmly.
"Well, there aren't any restrictions. As long as you're under twenty, there aren't any other restrictions. Of course, this is especially true for everyone at the Shrek Academy," Sima Lanxiao said.
After that, Cai Lao took the initiative to agree to the arrangement and then asked the children.
"Satisfied? Or rather, I would say, Cai Lao, you did a great job this time," Wu Yang Jin said.
"Hehe, kid, you need to understand, it's impossible for us not to win. So when the time comes, win back all the Soul Bone and stuff. If we win, they're all yours, and I'll give you two more when we get back!" Cai Lao said.
Everyone felt a little nervous, but also a bit excited.
After that, they boarded the Soul Guidance Train again, but this time they were in better seats.
So Tang Wu Lin began to eat voraciously, and the students from the Star Luo Academy were also there.
However, this time there was no conflict among them; they just marveled at how much Tang Wu Lin could eat.
Moreover, Star Luo Academy started discussing whether their Monster Academy or Shrek Academy was more powerful.
Of course, even though that's what they say, in the end they'll definitely feel that they won't lose, since they also have their own trump cards.
"Captain, do you feel guilty about driving the Soul Guidance Train?" Xie Xie chuckled.
"Sigh, that's why I said we shouldn't have taken the Soul Guidance Train," Wu Yang Jin joked.
"Yang Jin, you can't do this to me too! Yu Tang, what do you think?" Tang Wu Lin said in grief and indignation.
"Ah, I... I'm used to it," Wu Yutang said.
"Well, this isn't the Federation, so we shouldn't run into Evil Soul Master, right?" Xie Xie said.
As they talked, they continued their meal, and then, having nothing else to do, they looked out the window.
"Huh, what's that? Is it a mecha?"
Tang Wu Lin suddenly noticed that outside the car window, a black dot was moving at high speed in the distant sky.
"Hmm? Yes, it should be... Ah, I knew it." Wu Yang Jin suddenly said.
"Hmm? What's wrong?" Tang Wu Lin asked.
"Wulin, use your Purple Demon Eyes to take a close look, then you can prepare," Wu Yang Jin said.
Everyone seemed to understand this, because even Cai Lao got up early.
Tang Wu Lin's gaze narrowed slightly as he activated his Purple Demon Eyes.
Then, what appeared were rows of mechs, whose designs were clearly different from those in the Douluo Continent.
In the Douluo Continent, the Soul Guidance Mecha are basically all humanoid.
At this moment, what appeared before his eyes were these mechs of various shapes, because they resembled all sorts of beasts.
"Yang Jin ..." Tang Wu Lin said, then prepared to release his Martial Soul.
"Well, that's why Wulin, you really can't take the Soul Guidance Train anymore," Wu Yang Jin said.
"Ugh, why can't I even ride the Soul Guidance Train? Can't these people just shut up and not come?" Tang Wu Lin said.
