"These are all important, I'm afraid I'll forget them," Zhu Zhuqing replied while organizing her things. Suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing asked a question, "Why did you recruit me into the club in the first place, senior?"

At first, she thought that Dugu Yan was asking her to make up the numbers because the club was short of people, but after she actually joined and got to know the club, she realized that the Alchemy Society was not short of people.

On the contrary, many people wanted to join, but failed the membership test. Zhu Zhuqing was invited to join directly when she had just enrolled and knew nothing. This puzzled her.

Today she finally asked the question.

Dugu Yan propped her head up with one hand and fiddled with a small alchemy furnace ornament on the table with the other, saying with a smile, "A beauty like you, junior, would be a sight to behold even if you did nothing in the club."

Of course, Dugu Yan didn't say that if Zhu Zhuqing wasn't capable enough or didn't work hard enough and never learned alchemy, she might kick her out.

In fact, she regretted inviting the junior school girl because of her looks, and was even criticized by the vice president for being blinded by lust.

"..." Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Dugu Yan silently. She had a graceful figure, wore a white school uniform dress with a pleated skirt, and had a pair of long, straight, white legs. Although she was not as pretty as the previous senior Hu Liena, she was still a great beauty with a charming temperament and a fierce look in her eyes.

For some reason, at this moment, I suddenly felt that Dugu Yan was somewhat like my ex-fiancé Dai Mubai.

Noticing Zhu Zhuqing's gaze, Dugu Yan's lips curled into a confident and flamboyant smile. "I just like beautiful women, is that wrong?"

Chapter 149 The Outrageous Configuration of the Martial Soul Hall Team

Dugu Yan never thought that liking beautiful women was a shameful thing.

The people around her, such as Qian Xunji, Qian Renxue, Dongfang Jing, and Arthur, all raised her aesthetic standards.

but...

"The Star Luo Zhu Family?" Dugu Yan frowned as she looked at Zhu Zhuqing's admission information.

She had been living in the Heaven Dou Empire and didn't know much about the Star Luo Empire. It was only after arriving at the Spirit Hall that she learned some information about the Star Luo Empire.

The relationship between the royal Dai Family and the Zhu Family is very well-known.

It can be said that the Dai Family, who were able to perform the Martial Soul Fusion Skill with the Dai Family, Zhu Family an indispensable role in enabling the Dai family to ascend to the throne.

To solidify this alliance of interests, the Dai Family and the affiliated Zhu Family have intermarried for generations, a common practice among various powerful factions.

For example, the partners of the Clear Sky Sect are usually selected from outstanding members of the four major attribute families, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will also form marriage alliances with the geniuses and strong individuals who join the sect...

"Poor little kitten." With a sigh, Dugu Yan put away Zhu Zhuqing's information. Zhu Zhuqing had already joined the Spirit Hall and received its protection, did not need her help.

························

That evening, Zhu Zhuqing received a letter from the Star Luo Empire.

Her joining the Spirit Hall couldn't be kept secret. Ever since Star Luo Empire found out, they've been sending her letters from time to time, but Zhu Zhuqing hasn't opened a single one.

She was afraid she would be too soft-hearted!

Having already come this far, becoming a traitor to the Zhu Family, if she regrets her actions and softens her heart, she will die without a burial place.

However, she was also paying attention to the outcome of the Zhu Family and Dai Family ' handling of the matter. They issued a warrant for her arrest and then found a girl from a collateral branch of the Zhu Family whose talent level and age were suitable to replace her as Dai Mubai's fiancée. It was an expected way of handling the situation.

The core of the succession competition lies with the two princes. The two fiancées provided by the Zhu Family are merely tools for unleashing the Martial Soul Fusion Skill. As long as Dai Mubai remains eligible to compete, the Zhu Family will assign him a "fiancée."

Of course, the fact that even his fiancée ran away would only worsen Dai Mubai's already inferior reputation compared to Dai Weisi.

Zhu Zhuqing thought to herself, Dai Mubai must hate her to the core.

But all I did was return the favor to him for what he had done back then.

Thinking about the people she had offended, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't sleep and stayed up all night studying.

This surprised Hu Liena, who rarely returned to her dorm next door. Were all the younger female students this hardworking these days?

Then came the headache of securing a spot for the Martial Soul Hall Team in the competition, as the competition was too fierce.

Unlike the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, the Spirit Hall Academy does not have any qualifying spots, but only one guaranteed spot. Under normal circumstances, only this one team from the Spirit Hall can participate in the finals.

But that's from a very long time ago.

In order to allow more teams from the Spirit Hall to participate without compromising the fairness of the competition, His Holiness the Pope obtained preliminary round slots from both the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, allowing them to compete fairly with the advanced Soul Master Academy of both countries for qualification.

According to His Holiness the Pope, the Spirit Hall Academy is located at the border of two countries, so it is only reasonable for it to have qualification spots from both countries.

In other words, the Spirit Hall Academy has a total of three teams.

The Spirit Hall First Team is a direct seeded team, just like the Heaven Dou First Team and the Star Luo First Team, and is guaranteed a spot in the finals.

The Martial Soul Hall Second Team will go to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family to participate in their preliminary rounds to advance, Spirit Hall Third Team will participate in the Star Luo Empire's preliminary rounds to advance.

With only three teams and nearly thirty reserve players, the competition was exceptionally fierce.

Hu Liena was naturally unwilling to be a substitute.

However, once the top seven players on the team's competition list were announced, almost no one dared to compete for a spot.

Team member competition list: Qian Renxue, level 59, Power Attack System Soul King, Martial Soul Six-Winged Angel.

Xiang Yu a level 60 Power Attack System Soul Emperor (currently out acquiring Soul Ring, he should be level 61 upon his return), with the Martial Soul Six-Winged Angel.

Daji a level 51 Power Attack System Soul King with the Martial Soul Nine-Tailed Sky Fox.

Dugu Yan a level 49 Power Attack System Soul Ancestor with the Martial Soul Jade-Scaled Flood Dragon.

The last teammate was even more outrageous: Bian Que, a level 55 support-type Soul King, Martial Soul Calamity Spirit Medicine.

When she saw the last name clearly, Hu Liena fell silent, and then without hesitation abandoned the competition that had just taken root in her mind.

This is outrageous! Even the Hall Master of the Alchemy Hall has gotten involved.

The competition for spots in the Martial Soul Hall Second Team was equally fierce. Feng Xiaotian a level 51 Power Attack System Soul King with the Martial Soul Gale Two-Headed Demon Wolf (Feng Xiaotian was the oldest, about the same age as Dai Weisi).

Hu Liena is a level 49 control-type Soul Ancestor with the Martial Soul Demon Fox.

Xu Yu is a level 44 support-type Soul Ancestor, whose Martial Soul is the Brilliant Gold Scepter (a top-tier support Martial Soul), possessing both healing and attribute amplification abilities...

························

The competition among the Spirit Hall Third Team was equally fierce.

Tian Yue, granddaughter of Golden Crocodile Douluo, is a level 52 Power Attack System Soul King with the Martial Soul Golden Crocodile Dragon.

Sun Zixi Xi Bingchen, the Guang Ling Douluo, is a level 52 Power Attack System Soul King with the Martial Soul Guang Ling Bow.

Tan Qing, a level 45 support-type Soul Ancestor, Martial Soul the Seven-Colored Scepter...

························

Hu Liena participated in the second team's selection competition today, but she had extremely bad luck and ran into Feng Xiaotian. That guy knew about her Martial Soul and Soul Skill, and as soon as she entered the arena, he didn't give her a chance and knocked her off the stage with his eyes closed.

Thankfully, the competition uses a points system, otherwise they would have been eliminated.

(The selection process for support roles is different; they don't need to participate in this points-based competition.)

Her brother, Xie Yue, had promised to help her take revenge the next day, but Hu Liena was both happy and somewhat sad.

Although her brother comforted her by saying that Feng Xiaotian was several years older than her and had an age advantage, Hu Liena still felt upset.

Training went on very late today, so I decided to rest in my dorm at the academy, only to find that my roommate was still awake.

Are students these days all working this hard?

Hu Liena yawned, washed up, climbed into bed, and fell asleep within seconds.

Chapter 150 Hu Liena's Embarrassment

The next day, I was woken up by the college bell.

Hu Liena peeked out from under the covers, her hair disheveled, her eyes still sleepy, looking at the faintly bright sky outside the window.

She has to participate in the second round of the points competition today, so she doesn't have to go to class, but she's already been woken up and can't fall back asleep.

I decided to get up, wash up, and change my clothes.

The girl next door, a junior high school student, got out of bed the moment she heard the alarm. She's already finished washing up and is changing her clothes.

The white school uniform looked clean and neat on her, showcasing her beautiful figure perfectly, but it didn't reveal any eroticism. Instead, it looked solemn and sacred. Her hair was tucked into her military cap, giving her a touch of heroic spirit.

He wore a school badge and a club badge on his chest, which were a pair of golden three-dimensional wings and a furnace surrounded by raging flames.

When Hu Liena came out after washing up, the junior schoolmate next to her had already made her bed, greeted her, and left.

Hearing the sound of running outside, Hu Liena yawned. This was why she didn't like living at school—it was too rushed and tiring!

I get up in ten minutes to wash up, change clothes, and clean the house, then go downstairs for a run.

After running, you need to eat breakfast immediately and then go to your early class.

The schedule is very tight; if you're even a little slow, you'll be late.

························

When Hu Liena arrived at the competition venue, a large crowd from the Advanced Academy had already gathered to watch.

Only the substitute player spot on the Spirit Hall First Team was being contested.

The number of participants was relatively small, and the tiebreaker matches were already completed yesterday.

In the second team's points competition, Hu Liena has only lost one match so far, yesterday's match against Feng Xiaotian, and her spot on the official team is already secured.

After quickly defeating her opponent, Hu Liena rushed off to watch her brother's match against Feng Xiaotian.
