Tactical Arrangements

Early in the morning, Bei Bei arrived at Chen Yuan's room and knocked two or three times, but there was no response from inside.

Just as Bei Bei was feeling puzzled, the door opened, but Chen Yuan's appearance made Bei Bei's mind wander to the wrong things.

Chen Yuan, who used to cultivate every night, was now wearing pajamas he had never seen before, and his body was covered in a fragrance that did not belong to Chen Yuan.

"Chen Yuan... what's wrong with you...?"

"Ah?"

Chen Yuan could guess what Bei Bei was thinking just by looking at her expression.

"What are you thinking? Xiao Xiao and I were cultivating together last night, and then she insisted that I smelled sweaty, so I had to take a shower before cultivating."

"I just tried on these pajamas that Xiao Xiao bought for me. Don't be envious, ask your Tang Ya to buy you some when you get back."

"I see. What about Xiao Xiao?"

"He's cultivating inside; he should be about to break through."

"Okay, since Xiao Xiao is with you, it saves me the trouble of making another trip. Come to the conference room later; Teacher Wang Yan will explain the upcoming competition format to us."

"OK."

Once he was sure Bei Bei had nothing more to say, Chen Yuan closed the door and returned to the bedside.

Xiao Xiao opened her eyes at this moment, and the fluctuations of her Soul Power stopped at level thirty-two.

"Great! I've reached level 32!"

Congratulations!

"Yes, thank you very much, Brother Chen Yuan, for cultivating with me."

"Now that you've broken through, come and wash up. Bei Bei just came by and told us to go to the conference room later."

Xiao Xiao and Chen Yuan quickly finished washing up and arrived at the Shrek's meeting room.

The moment the door opened, Xiao Xiao immediately hid behind Chen Yuan Chen Yuan, who was also somewhat embarrassed by the teasing looks from the people in the conference room.

Ning Tian was the only one sitting there, not saying a word.

"Chen Yuan, sit down quickly."

Wang Yan immediately gestured for Chen Yuan to sit down, as he now bore a heavy responsibility.

"Chen Yuan won a fantastic match yesterday, showcasing the spirit of the Shrek Academy as the number one academy in the world."

"Furthermore, Chen Yuan didn't reveal any specific strength; at most, he let people know his cultivation level, which was very good."

"A Soul King with Over-Limit Soul Ring will definitely make our opponents hesitate to act rashly."

"Today's meeting is mainly to prepare for the upcoming competition. After the knockout stage, there will be a round-robin tournament, which will be randomly selected from the three competition modes I mentioned earlier."

Wang Yan paused here.

"I hope you can all tell me about your Soul Skill. Xiao Xiao and Huo Yuhao are students taught by me and Teacher Mu Jin, so I am quite familiar with their abilities."

"Ning Tian's Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda goes without saying, and I've also witnessed your special Soul Skill during the Freshman Assessment."

"So it's mainly for you four senior students. If it's inconvenient for you, then it's fine."

"There's nothing inconvenient about it."

Bei Bei was the first to reveal her Soul Skill, followed by Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan, and finally Chen Yuan himself.

Of course, Chen Yuan couldn't reveal all the effects of his Soul Skill. For example, Chen Yuan didn't mention the independent riding zone of his Third Soul Skill or the defense-ignoring effect of his fifth Soul Skill.

When Wang Yan heard that Chen Yuan's skills were all amplification Soul Skill, he couldn't help but get excited. This was simply excellent research material!

However, it's really difficult to assign teammates to someone like Chen Yuan, who is clearly Soul Master of extreme builds. He's fine as a team's offensive specialist, but he's also capable in one-on-one combat.

After finishing their discussion, Chen Yuan had just left the meeting room when he encountered a boy who looked to be about his age.

"Damn it! I knew I wasn't mistaken! It's you!"

The man immediately punched Chen Yuan in the face.

Chen Yuan reacted quickly, blocking the fist just before it landed on his face. He then grabbed the man's arm, twisted his wrist, and slammed him against the wall.

"Who are you? Why did you suddenly attack me?"

"You bastard! Everyone from the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect is a bastard! You actually dared to randomly fire Level 8 Fixed Soul Guidance Cannonball in the Baroque Forest!"

"Do you even know that shell almost killed me?! Such a dangerous thing, and you didn't even follow the proper procedures!"

"You***"

Xiao Hongchen had barely uttered two curses when Chen Yuan forcibly shut him up. Although he couldn't hear what Xiao Hongchen was saying, judging from his expression, the curses must have been quite vulgar.

Seeing the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy uniform on the boy's body, and glancing at his heterochromatic eyes (one blue and one green), Chen Yuan recognized the person before him.

Xiao Hongchen is the grandson of Jing Hongchen, the current Mingde Hall.

Was Xiao Hongchen also present when they hunted the Golden Lion Mastiff?

When did I become a member of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect?

Ning Tian stepped out from the side. At other times she could stay in the back, but now that the sect was being slandered, she had to stand up.

"Our Nine Treasures Glazed Sect has never detonated Level 8 Fixed Soul Guidance Cannonball in the Baroque Forest. I guarantee this as the young master of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect."

"What evidence do you have to prove that the Level 8 Fixed Soul Guidance Cannonball was fired by our Nine Treasures Glazed Sect?! If you have no evidence, and you dare to slander my school, I, as the Young Sect Master of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, guarantee that even if you are from the Sun Moon Empire, my school will make you pay the price!"

At this moment, Ning Tian was more like the Young Sect Master the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect. Her usual refined and elegant demeanor had vanished, leaving only the majesty of Young Sect Master.

After Ning Tian said that, Xiao Hongchen struggled less and less, as if he really had no evidence.

As for who detonated that Level 8 Fixed Soul Guidance Cannonball, Xiao Hongchen only filled in the gaps in his mind after hearing his grandfather's words.

Xiao Hongchen felt a pang of shame, but then he realized, wait a minute, isn't the murderer right here?

You, the Young Sect Master the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, are hanging out with the murderer, and you're both from the Shrek Academy. Who would believe you weren't in cahoots?

"You're all in cahoots! You're all from the same sect! Of course you've known each other for a long time! Naturally you'll protect each other! You're all cowards who dare to do the deed but won't admit it!"

"Go away! Don't bother coming back!"

With a slight exertion of his arms, Chen Yuan tossed Xiao Hongchen to the other side of the corridor, and the world finally became quiet.

However, Chen Yuan still sensed a murderous aura.

Turning his head, Chen Yuan found Ning Tian smiling at him, but the oppressive atmosphere around her indicated that she wasn't in a good mood.

No one would be in a good mood if they were suddenly insulted to their sect by a complete stranger over something completely unrelated.

In particular, Ning Tian is the Young Sect Master the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, which is her home. The power of Xiao Hongchen's words just now is no less than a direct hit to the face.

She really wants to give Xiao Hongchen's family a good talking-to now; their Nine Treasures Glazed Sect has been inexplicably framed.

"Senior, could you explain to me what that Level 8 Fixed Soul Guidance Cannonball that random guy was talking about was all about?"

"Why is the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect involved? I want to confirm the situation before settling accounts with that person. Of course, if it involves senior's privacy, then forget it."

Ning Tian's tone was very calm, as if he were chatting with Chen Yuan, without any extra emotional fluctuations.

"It's probably just what that silly roe deer made up. If you want to know, I can tell you; it's not a secret anyway."

"Senior, this isn't the place to talk, let's find somewhere else."

The hotel has excellent soundproofing, but the noise just now was a bit too loud; a Soul Master's hearing would definitely be able to hear it.

If we don't quickly change our seats to talk, it'll be quite a mess when the people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy arrive.

Moreover, the corridor itself is not a suitable place for conversation.
