Journey to Mingdu

The return of Huo Gua and Wang Qiu'er did not cause the slightest ripple for the vast majority of Shrek students, as it was something only a small number of Inner Court disciple knew about.

Given Huo Gua's current condition, it was impossible for him to return to the Tang Sect, so he remained on Sea God Island.

Wang Dong'er basically acted like a devoted wife, taking care of Huo Gua day and night.

As for Wang Qiu'er, she has now truly become a little Tyrannosaurus, leaving only Zhou Sichen and the others who were trained by her to suffer.

The team's training routine has returned to normal, except for a slight shortage of Healing Type Soul Master.

Time flies, and another twenty-four days have passed. There are now six days left until the Mingdu Soul Master Competition.

Today is the day that the Shrek Team and the Tang Sect Team set off for Mingdu.

Originally, the two teams did not plan to travel together, but at Xiao Xiao and Wang Qingya's urging, everyone decided to set off together.

To be honest, because of the relationship between Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er, the two teams as a whole are not really close.

Although most of the dozen or so people were from the Huo Gua, they were now divided into two teams, and there was still a subconscious competition between them.

They're all eighteen or nineteen years old; who doesn't have a competitive spirit?

Even Zhou Sichen and Cao Jinxuan, this pair of brilliant strategists, were not the kind of people who were willing to play second fiddle.

In addition, after nearly a month of training, although they were tortured to death by Wang Qiu'er, they were all grateful to the Deputy Captain because their strength had indeed improved a lot.

Therefore, regarding the well-known rivalry between the two girls in autumn and winter, the Shrek Team members were basically on Wang Qiu'er's side.

Of course, since returning to Shrek, Wang Qiu'er has never looked at Huo Gua properly again. She didn't even know that she suddenly had several more Huo-Qiu CP supporters.

Meanwhile, Huo Gua, the point of contention, was already sitting in a fully functional wheelchair.

Huo Gua woke up on the fifteenth day after returning.

Xuanzi initially disagreed with Huo Gua going to Mingdu to participate in the competition, but he was quickly persuaded by Huo Gua's Spiritual Power. Huo Gua's gaze could literally kill you with one look!

Therefore, Huo Gua became the first contestant in the tens of thousands of years of the Douluo Continent to participate in the Soul Master Competition despite being physically disabled.

Shrek Academy West Gate.

At eight o'clock in the morning, members of both teams arrived one after another, ready to set off together.

Shrek's team is led by two people: Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao.

As for the Shrek Academy bigwigs who secretly followed, Zhou Huan has not yet discovered them.

According to Zhou Huan's perception, Ma Xiaotao must have only recently broken through to the Soul Douluo, and her aura is not yet very stable.

Two years ago, with the help of the Infernal Delicate Apricot Blazing Gum, Ma Xiaotao finally purified the Evil Fire and advanced to the Soul Sage realm.

In just two short years, Ma Xiaotao has already become Soul Douluo, which is quite fast.

Besides her innate talent for cultivation, Zhou Huan guessed that it was probably also because of the black and red bead she obtained in the Flame Palace.

Zhou Huan's Blue White Bead represent Ice Heart, so it's quite obvious that Ma Xiaotao's black and red beads represent Fire Heart.

After absorbing the Ice Heart, the Floating Pagoda finally condensed into Five-Colored Godhead; it's just unknown what will happen after Ma Xiaotao directly absorbs the Fire Heart.

According to Zhou Huan's estimation, neither Ice Heart nor Fire Heart could possibly be Godhead.

It is completely illogical for a strange Soul Beast that embodies both ice and fire to possess two Godhead at the same time.

Therefore, Zhou Huan believes that his Five-Colored Godhead mainly comes from the Floating Pagoda, while Ice Heart is more like a key to unlocking a certain function of the Floating Pagoda.

Zhou Huan once asked Fututa Soul about this, but the little elf completely ignored him.

Therefore, Zhou Huan had no choice but to put it aside for the time being.

Seeing Ma Xiaotao again today and sensing the Fire Heart aura emanating from her, Zhou Huan finally paid her a little more attention.

However, Ma Xiaotao clearly noticed Zhou Huan's gaze and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

In the past two years, her attitude towards Zhou Huan has improved a lot, but she still can't stand the cloying atmosphere between him and her Senior Disciple Sister; it's too sour.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan shook his head and smiled, "It's nothing, congratulations to Senior Xiao Tao on advancing to the next level."

Ma Xiaotao scoffed and rolled her eyes speechlessly, saying nothing since the other Shrek members were all there. She couldn't help but think to herself, "You talk like you're some kind of Soul King. I don't know how Senior Disciple Sister fell for someone like you who pretends to be weak while actually being strong."

Just then, the last few members of the Tang Sect finally arrived from Shrek City.

Zhou Huan immediately spotted the three unfamiliar faces behind Beibei. One was a serious-looking young man carrying a Soul Tool sword, another was an ordinary-looking girl in purple with a mature and sophisticated air, and the last was a beautiful girl with a very low profile.

Without needing to think too much, Zhou Huan knew who the three of them were.

The young man carrying the long sword is clearly the Sword Maniac Ji Juechen, who can be said to have a protagonist-like life of reversal!

Zhou Huan recalled Ji Juechen's information. He was a Soul Master with only level three Innate Soul Power, and his Martial Soul was just an ordinary sword, which was worlds apart from a powerful sword like the Seven Kill Sword.

Yet, it was Ji Juechen who ultimately became Titled Douluo!

If there's even a tiny bit of truth to Yu Xiaogang's statement, "There are no useless Martial Soul, only useless Soul Master," then Ji Juechen is a perfect example!

However, there is only one Ji Juechen in the Douluo Continent. Even if there are some unknown exceptions, they are few and far between.

Therefore, Zhou Huan still does not agree with Yu Xiaogang's words.

The girl in purple standing next to Ji Juechen at this moment is clearly his future wife Jing Ziyan.

As for the one who keeps her presence to a minimum, it's undoubtedly Ghost Nana.

At this point, both teams had assembled.

After introducing themselves, without much small talk, the group activated their Flying Soul Tool and flew directly towards Mingdu.

However, during this time, Ji Juechen clearly glanced at Zhou Huan and Wang Qiu'er more often. Wang Qiu'er had fought him before, but he had heard that this Shrek captain was very strong and he hadn't fought him yet!

Zhou Huan naturally sensed Ji Juechen's gaze, but while flying, he was holding Zhang Lexuan's hand and showering her with affection, not even glancing at this Sword Maniac.

It wasn't that Zhou Huan disliked Ji Juechen; on the contrary, he greatly admired this Sword Maniac.

However, being entangled with such a battle maniac is hardly a fun thing.

Zhou Huan doesn't like fighting.

Instead of sparring with others, I'd rather spar with my girlfriend, even though that's just a fantasy right now.

The group wasn't in a rush along the way.

Although Mingdu is quite far from Shrek, with Flying Soul Tool and everyone's considerable strength, they can arrive in four or five days if they walk slowly.

And with Huo Gua in a wheelchair, everyone has to consider the "injured" ones.

However, on the third day of their journey, after Jing Ziyan "consulted" Huo Gua, everyone stopped treating Huo Gua as an injured person.

After all, he was a man who defeated a Soul Emperor with just his "eyes"!

In almost everyone's eyes, Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Power was too strong, and he may have already reached the Ultimate Spiritual Will.

Zhou Huan nodded in agreement, thinking to himself that he was only a tiny bit short of her.

By noon on the fourth day, the group had reached a point about 100 kilometers outside of Mingdu, and only then did they stop their Flying Soul Tool.

Because if a large group of more than twenty people continued to fly towards Mingdu in the sky, they would probably be blasted down by the Soul Cannon.

Therefore, we must take practical steps.

There happened to be a clear stream nearby, so the group decided to have lunch there before continuing their journey.

Unfortunately, Huo Gua can only move one hand now, so everyone will miss out on his signature dish – Huo-style Grilled Fish.

Therefore, the cooking duties fell to Jiang Nannan and Xiao Xiao, along with a few other girls.

Zhou Huan was shocked to discover that Wu Feng, the Little Fire Dragon, could actually cook!

And judging from her appearance, this wasn't her first time cooking.

So, the Little Fire Dragon is very convenient for starting a fire and cooking, right?

But Zhou Huan always felt that something was off about the scene, until he saw Wu Feng helping Ning Tian rice, and then he instantly understood.
