Soul Master Elite Competition Opens

Ning Rongrong's little face puffed up in anger as she recounted Dai Mubai's insults.

She looked incredibly cute.

"It seems you've suffered a lot at Shrek Academy."

"Oh right, Dai Mubai's fiancée recently joined Heaven Dou Royal Academy too."

"Her name is Zhu Qingzhu, you two might have common ground."

Su Ze chuckled upon hearing Ning Rongrong's words.

Zhu Qingzhu and Ning Rongrong should have plenty to talk about, at least concerning Dai Mubai.

Next, Su Ze immediately took Ning Rongrong to meet the other girls.

With Shrek Academy as a common topic, the four girls quickly became acquainted after chatting for a while.

After that, Su Ze went to find two members from Heaven Dou Royal Academy in the original story.

Shi Mo and Shi Mo!

They were a pair of brothers whose martial souls were the Black Tortoise and the Mysterious Nether Tortoise, respectively.

In the original story, they served as defenders and damage absorbers at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Now that Yu Tianheng had withdrawn from Heaven Dou Academy, the two brothers had nowhere to go.

Therefore, they readily accepted Su Ze's invitation.

With this, Heaven Dou Royal Academy was officially established.

Time passed extremely quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the opening day of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament.

As it was the opening match, Su Ze was pulled out of his dorm by Dugu Yan early and brought to the venue to watch the opening.

The main reason was to see Tang San.

He wanted to see what new team Tang San and his group had formed.

Standing in the Heaven Dou Competition Zone venue, Su Ze watched team after team walk past him.

As one team entered, the entire venue immediately became agitated.

This academy was composed entirely of girls, and each one was a stunning beauty, dressed in blue and white dresses.

Each of them had a pair of long, slender legs.

became a beautiful scenic line throughout the entire opening ceremony.

"Is that Skywater Academy?"

"Wow, everyone in this academy is so beautiful!"

"They're all goddesses. It would be a blessing from three lifetimes to be able to win one as a wife."

Not only the audience watching, but even the newly recruited Shi brothers' eyes lit up.

"As expected of the Soul Masters strictly selected by Skywater, they're truly beautiful!"

"The one leading is Shui Bing'er, isn't she prettier than rumored?"

Hearing the Shi brothers' words, Su Ze's gaze turned towards Skywater Academy, towards the young girl walking at the very front.

She looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a beautiful face and a pair of clear, azure eyes. Her Soul Power fluctuations were also extremely strong.

She was indeed the captain of the Skywater team, Shui Bing'er, who possessed the Ice Phoenix spirit.

She was a Genius with extremely high talent, considered a once-in-a-century prodigy.

With her top-tier spirit, the Ice Phoenix, she had once directly shattered Tang San's Dao heart, making him believe Blue Silver Grass was trash.

He had prepared to switch to cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer.

But unfortunately, this was a great competition.

Shui Bing'er's talent was strong, but not enough.

At this period on the Douluo Continent, there was no shortage of top-tier Geniuses.

Especially with his own arrival.

Just as Su Ze was recalling Shui Bing'er's storyline, Shrek Academy also made their entrance.

The moment Shrek Academy entered, it caused another uproar.

The Shrek group was seen wearing their academy uniforms, which also bore the GG logo of Heaven Dou Imperial City's medicinal herbs.

"Which academy is this? Why do they have such ugly uniforms?"

"Never mind the ugly uniforms, they even have GG on the back."

"I remember that medicinal herb is specifically for aphrodisiacs. What kind of shady school is this? To do something so embarrassing in such a glorious competition."

"They're simply lowering the tone of the opening ceremony!"

Looking at Shrek Academy's poop-green team uniforms, with GG printed on the back.

Su Ze smiled speechlessly, only able to say that Flender was truly unreliable.

To have something like GG happen in a competition of this continental scale.

Of course, it was also possible they were genuinely out of money.

"Zhu Qingzhu, it's a good thing we've already withdrawn from Shrek Academy. Otherwise, just imagine wearing these clothes in this kind of setting!"

"Just thinking about it makes me sick!"

Ning Rongrong looked at the GG above Shrek Academy, which was a medicinal herb shop, and rubbed her arms, her face filled with disgust.

She thought about how disgusted she would be if she hadn't dropped out and had to stand among the Shrek group, and felt a wave of relief.

"It's indeed ugly, especially Dai Mubai walking in front."

Zhu Qingzhu's expression was cold, her gaze fell on Dai Mubai walking at the forefront, her tone filled with disgust.

"Zhu Qingzhu, don't worry, no one here will force you anymore."

After nearly a year of getting along, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Qingzhu had become very close. Regarding Zhu Qingzhu's history with Dai Mubai, She was very clear about it.

So she immediately started to comfort her.

Looking at the Shrek team in front of him, Su Ze's eyes flickered.

Aside from the original Shrek Five Monsters, those who had joined for this competition were Yu Tianheng, who had already broken through to Soul Ancestor, and a burly man.

He should be from Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Academy, some random person.

Even Tang San's Soul Power was not far from breaking through to Soul Ancestor.

This surprised Su Ze. It seemed the protagonist's halo was still effective.

Even though he had taken the Blue Silver Grass soul bone, and didn't get the Immortal Herb from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.

Tang San could still cultivate to this level. Did he have some fortuitous encounter that he didn't know about?

Thinking of this, Su Ze immediately decided to go back and cultivate diligently.

Although in terms of strength, he could crush the opponent without any surprises.

But as the saying goes:

"Despise the enemy strategically, but take them seriously tactically."

On the field, amidst the jeers of countless people around them, the Shrek members clenched their fists.

Dai Mubai, leading the group, was so enraged his breathing grew rapid and his eyes turned bloodshot. Just as he was about to turn back and retort to the insults, Tang San grabbed him from behind.

"Mubai, there's no need to argue with them. As long as we keep going all the way and even win the championship in the end,"

"these jeers will naturally disappear."

"Arguing now will only make us look more like clowns."

Tang San said, looking at the flushed Dai Mubai.

"Right, Little San, you're right! As long as we win the championship,"

"all these jeers will turn into clowns then."

Hearing Tang San's words, Dai Mubai regained his composure.

And as the Shrek Academy group entered, it was time for the host, Heaven Dou Royal Academy, to make their appearance.

"Are we going on stage? Then let's hurry."

Ning Rongrong's beautiful knees blinked, very excited.

Having seen the commotion caused by the beauties from Skywater Academy earlier, Ning Rongrong felt a sense of anticipation.

Would her appearance cause a sensation?

"Let's go!"

Su Ze calmly led Dugu Yan and the others towards the venue.

Along with the Heaven Dou Academy group.

They immediately attracted everyone's attention.

After all, Heaven Dou Royal Academy had always been a popular contender for the Continental Elite Competition championship.

Coupled with the presence of beauties like Zhu Qingzhu, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lengleng.

They instantly captured everyone's attention.

Cheers and discussions erupted one after another.

At this moment, the Shrek Academy group, having just entered the venue, heard the discussions behind them.

Oscar, upon hearing Ning Rongrong's name, immediately looked towards the hall.

Seeing the heartbroken girl in the distance, a hint of anger and pain appeared on Oscar's face.

He truly didn't understand why such a youthful and vibrant girl would betray the academy.

With disappointment and anger, Oscar took one last look before directly following his teammates.

In the venue, Ning Rongrong, who was enjoying the attention and praise, suddenly felt a wave of nausea for no reason.

She unconsciously moved closer to Su Ze beside her.

After sensing the intensely yang energy from the lightning emanating from Su Ze's entire body.

She felt much better.

"What's wrong?"

Su Ze looked back at Ning Rongrong, who had suddenly pressed close to him, with some confusion.

"I don't know, I suddenly felt so cold!"

"Are you sick?"

Zhu Qingzhu, standing nearby, immediately asked with concern.

"No! I'm perfectly fine."

Ning Rongrong also looked puzzled. As a support Soul Master, she knew very well whether she was sick or not.

But if she wasn't sick, why would she suddenly feel cold?

Could something malevolent be observing her in secret?

Thinking of this, Ning Rongrong unconsciously moved a little closer to Su Ze again.

Inside the Heaven Dou Competition Zone's venue, Su Ze led his team to their exclusive private room.

Through the window, Su Ze looked down at the Dueling Arena below.

As they entered, the opening ceremony officially began.

Figures appeared one by one on the large screen for the opening ceremony.

Besides Ning Fengzhi, there were also Emperor Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Platinum Pope of the Soul Martial Hall.

Because he was very familiar with Ning Fengzhi, Su Ze's gaze fell upon Emperor Xue Ye.

Looking at Emperor Xue Ye's ruddy complexion, Su Ze now understood why Qian Renxue had chosen to poison him back then.

This Emperor Xue Ye's ability to maintain his appearance was truly exceptional; in the original story, he lived younger and younger.

##DONE## Qian Renxue's plan to outlast the other party by age and smoothly inherit the empire was basically impossible.

As Su Ze was thinking, the announcer below began the draw for today's matches.

Soon, the major teams scrolled across the large soul-guide screen.

The first battle of the opening ceremony was officially confirmed.

"The first match is Shrek Academy versus Balak Team."

There was nothing exciting about this match; Shrek Academy, a trash school, would win quickly.

They won with an overwhelming victory.

The only interruption was after defeating their opponent at extreme speed, Dai Mubai shouted to the entire crowd.

"Ah, please remember the name of our Shrek Academy."

"This is the name of the future Elite Competition champion team. Whether it's the Heaven Dou Royal Academy or the Soul Martial Hall team."

"The only ultimate victor will be us, Shrek."

Following Dai Mubai's arrogant declaration, the entire venue immediately fell into a clamor.

Combined with the GG on their uniforms, Shrek's name became widely known in an instant.

Of course, it wasn't a good reputation.

Su Ze chuckled as he watched Dai Mubai's declaration below.

He was somewhat looking forward to Shrek Academy actually reaching them.

In the VIP seats, Emperor Xue Ye looked at Shrek Academy below with interest.

The main reason was that he recognized Dai Mubai as a fugitive prince of the Star Luo Empire.

However, Ning Fengzhi and the Hall Master of Martial Soul Hall did not take Shrek Academy seriously.

Ning Fengzhi had extremely high confidence in Su Ze.

The bishop of Soul Martial Hall, on the other hand, had extreme confidence in the Golden Generation sent by their Soul Martial Hall.

Both believed the championship would go to their respective favored teams.

"Shrek Academy is arrogant, but everyone, who do you think will be the champion this time?"

Emperor Xue Ye looked at Ning Fengzhi and the bishop of Soul Martial Hall beside him.

"Naturally, it's Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Your Majesty, I dare to guarantee that Heaven Dou Royal Academy will be the final champion this time."

Considering Su Ze's monstrous strength, Ning Fengzhi's tone was incredibly confident.

Beside him was Salas, the bishop of the Soul Martial Hall, who asked with some curiosity.

"Oh, Sect Master Ning is very optimistic about the Heaven Dou Team this time."

"Of course! The championship this time will definitely be the Heaven Dou Team."

The bishop of the Soul Martial Hall merely chuckled at Ning Fengzhi's words.

He had enough confidence in the Golden Generation personally nurtured by His Holiness the Pope.

No matter how terrifying the strength of other teams was, they would be no match for the Golden Generation of the Soul Martial Hall.

"Sect Master Ning, I recall your daughter seems to have joined Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

"Is this the reason why Sect Master Ning favors the Royal Academy?"

Because he represented the face of the Soul Martial Hall externally and couldn't show weakness, Bishop Salas of the Soul Martial Hall spoke with a barbed sarcasm.

"Haha, my daughter has indeed joined Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

"However, this is not the reason for my judgment. Bishop Salas, just watch what happens next, and facts will prove it."

Ning Fengzhi was not angry at the veiled mockery.

He had absolute confidence in Su Ze's strength.

Hearing Ning Fengzhi's confidence, Emperor Xue Ye naturally thought of Su Ze, the Crown Prince he had cultivated.

He had also heard a little about the person he was diligently trying to recruit.

Thinking of that genius's strength, Emperor Xue Ye's gaze turned towards the VIP box of Heaven Dou Royal Academy above.

Su Ze, who was being watched, immediately felt the gaze.

The two exchanged a glance across the distance.

Seeing Su Ze look over, Emperor Xue Ye was stunned at first, then revealed a kind smile.

Su Ze naturally nodded and offered a polite smile to the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire.

The competition in the Heaven Dou Competition Zone officially began.

A total of 28 teams were vying for 5 spots.

Therefore, the battles were long and tedious.

After watching for a while, Su Ze decided to return to his dormitory to cultivate.

After a year of cultivation, Su Ze had directly advanced from level 55 to the current level 58.

Although this speed was not slow for a Soul Master with extreme attributes.

However, Su Ze was still very dissatisfied.

After all, his competitors were not people of the same age as Tang San and the others.

Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue were people from a generation above him.

The great era's struggle was approaching.

They had already found the path to Godhood, while he had not only not found the path to Godhood, but was also still cultivating.

Therefore, he needed to intensify his cultivation.

Thinking this, Su Ze walked out of the venue.

As soon as he stepped out, he encountered several familiar figures.

Seeing the Shrek Academy group surrounding him, Su Ze's expression did not change in the slightest.

With just a glance, he intended to leave directly.

Su Ze did not take the Shrek Academy seriously, but the Shrek Academy had come specifically for him.

Yu Tianheng and Dai Mubai stepped forward, directly blocking Su Ze on his left and right.
