Xuan Zi's Return

"Yay! Brother Chen Yuan, did you see that? I defeated a Soul King!"

"Okay, I saw it. You can play by yourself next time."

Xiao Xiao really doesn't know how to conserve energy at all, using three Soul Skill the whole time. If it were just Xiao Xiao alone, she probably would have been unable to move due to exhaustion of Soul Power long ago.

"Brother Chen Yuan, wait a minute! Let me feel that surging Soul Power again!"

"No, don't get obsessed with powers that don't belong to you at such a young age."

"What? The two of us can Martial Soul Fusion, so isn't that my power? Others would love to use it but can't."

Hmm, what Xiao Xiao said doesn't seem to be wrong.

Anyway, that's how she convinced herself. Xiao Xiao put her hands on her hips and looked at Chen Yuan unhappily.

I've been making her practice Martial Soul Fusion every night, but when she wants to use it herself, she says it's not her own power. Is this what they mean by using it and then throwing it away?

Is this the legendary scumbag?

Xiao Xiao decided that she would definitely not cultivate with Chen Yuan tonight; she wanted to get a good night's sleep!

Since arriving in Star Luo City, Xiao Xiao hasn't had a good night's sleep. She's either being dragged into cultivation by Chen Yuan or being pulled out of bed to cultivate in the middle of the night.

After the match, no one lingered there. By the end of the match, Ling Luochеn's injury had almost healed.

Chen Yuan was a little puzzled. Shouldn't Xuan Zi have arrived in Star Luo City by now? Why didn't he bring a Healing System Soul Master with him?

Was it that he himself hadn't thought of it? Or had the entire Shrek Sea God Pavilion lost their minds? Why couldn't they even send a Healing System Soul Master?

Even Healing System at the Soul Emperor level could allow Ma Xiaotao and the other two to recover quickly.

That way, Chen Yuan wouldn't need to play, and neither would Bei Bei and the others. Two Soul Emperor could win even with a dog on a leash before the semifinals.

They can easily get through several matches, and then wait to enter the Golden Tree for cultivation and receive the Soul Bone.

To be honest, Chen Yuan hadn't really thought about how to obtain the qualification to cultivate the Golden Tree. You could get one chance just by entering the Inner Court.

I wonder if the Golden Tree of Shrek has been possessed by the Blue Silver Emperor yet. Probably not, since the Golden Tree Spirit Jin Lao appeared in Douluo III.

The Blue Silver Emperor is currently accumulating power, nourished by the souls of the successive Sea God Pavilion Master, in order to finally complete the feat of possessing the Golden Tree and becoming the Life Core of the Douluo Continent.

If it doesn't involve possession, how could the Blue Silver Emperor become the Life Core of Douluo? Tang Wulin already proved this in Douluo III: the Control System Blue Silver Emperor is also useless.

Why is the Golden Tree Golden Tree located within the Shrek Academy? Legend has it that it was planted by the Sea God Tang San himself.

Chen Yuan felt there was a 90% chance this legend was false. If the Golden Tree Tang San planted could become the Life Core, why didn't he just let Ah Yin possess his body?

Why go through all that trouble?

It's highly likely that Tang San transplanted the Golden Tree from somewhere else to Shrek; that's about all he could do.

As for where the Golden Tree originally grew, the center of the Star Dou Great Forest seems to be the most likely location.

"Xiao, what are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed."

"I'm thinking about how to give that bastard down there a good beating."

"What's wrong with you? Why do you seem so concerned about Chen Yuan from Shrek?"

Xiao Hongchen without speaking, he couldn't very well say that someone had planted an eighth-level Soul Cannon in the forest that nearly killed him and his grandfather, could he?

In that case, after receiving even a little bit of concern from Meng Hongchen, he would probably be ridiculed by her for quite some time.

"Could he be the one who knocked you into the wall before?"

"How... how could that be? I accidentally blew up the Soul Tool Soul Tool when I was making it, that's why I got blown into the wall."

Meng Hongchen responded to these words with a look that said, "Guess whether I believe you or not."

Who's some kind Soul Tool in the hallway? And it just so happens to explode there? The force is just enough to embed a Soul King into the wall.

The crucial point is that there wasn't a single trace of an explosion in the corridor, making Xiao Hongchen's words full of holes.

Feeling guilty under Meng Hongchen's gaze, Xiao Hongchen quickly made an excuse to leave.

Meng Hongchen glanced at Xiao Hongchen's hastily fleeing figure, then looked down at Chen Yuan who was preparing to leave. She felt that this Chen Yuan seemed quite interesting.

Not only was she strong, but she also saw her brother's embarrassing situation.

Most importantly, he's handsome!

As soon as they returned to the conference room on the top floor of the Star Emperor Hotel, Wang Yan had just finished summarizing today's competition when everyone smelled a familiar aroma of alcohol.

Upon smelling the odor, everyone's expressions weren't very pleasant, except for the three members of the Main Team, who were relatively better off.

They themselves felt ashamed to have been defeated by a Soul King, but Xuan Zi still bore a great deal of responsibility.

But things are different for the Reserve Team. Chen Yuan has his own agenda: the Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone. So, in a way, he should Xuan Zi for his irresponsibility.

Fortunately, no one on the Main Team died this time, so Chen Yuan was able to keep the Soul Bone with a clear conscience.

"My little ones, I watched your game, you played exceptionally well."

Xuan Zi awkwardly entered the meeting room. Noticing that everyone's eyes were on her, she could only awkwardly speak, trying to ease the atmosphere.

However, his words only made the Reserve Team members look at him with even more resentment.

A Level 98 Titled Douluo couldn't even save a Soul King in time? Are you kidding me?

"Ahem, you little rascals, don't look at me like that. I have good news for you."

"Xuan Zi! Has the academy sent people to provide support? Where are they?"

"No, the academy won't be sending anyone this time. You'll have to rely on yourselves for the rest of the competition."

"What?! Some of the teams behind us have Soul Emperor! If we encounter them early on, how can our Reserve Team possibly win?!"

"Xuan Zi, does the academy's higher-ups really intend to let Shrek's millennia-long glory end here?"

Wang Yan dared not think about it; if the Reserve Team really encountered those teams, they would most likely lose.

In every major competition, which of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has they not fought with everything they could to prevent Shrek Academy from winning?

The Soul Tool of the Sun Moon Empire are far superior to those of the original Three Kingdoms, thanks to the combination of Soul Tool and Soul Emperor- level cultivation.

And what about the strength of the other teams that Wang Yan had previously inquired about? If the situation is true...

Wang Yan felt like he was really going to be chopped into mincemeat.

So what if he's chopped off? He's over thirty years old anyway, just Soul King of level fifty-something. He's dead, so what?

But these children can't do it!

They still have another major competition to participate in, and they are very young. If they are blamed for ruining Shrek Academy's eternal glory, their lives will be ruined!

Wang Yan gritted his teeth, raised his head, and looked at Xuan Zi with a serious expression.

"Xuan Zi, is it your decision not to send reinforcements, or the decision of the elders of the Sea God Pavilion?"

"Hmm? What do you mean by that? Are you questioning Shrek's decision?"

Xuan Zi's words carried a hint of coldness. Even though Wang Yan was his grand-disciple and a member of Shrek, his tone still displeased Xuan Zi.

"Yes! I'm questioning the academy!"

As soon as the words were spoken, Wang Yan felt completely relaxed.

The heavy burden was thus lifted.
