Dai Huabin was the strongest player in the reserve team, so he naturally became the captain of the reserve team.
His gaze involuntarily fell on Wang Qiu'er; he still remembered the scene when he was forcibly defeated by her during the Freshman Tournament.
Even after six years, he still couldn't forget the other person's dashing figure.
Huo Yuhao glanced at Dai Huabin before looking away, but he no longer took Dai Huabin, who was Soul King, seriously.
With the help of the Immortal Herb given to him by Bei Bei, his Soul Power Level has reached level sixty-five.
After he finishes participating in this Soul Master Tournament, he will personally visit the White Tiger Duke Mansion.
He would ruin the Duchess White Tiger's reputation and personally carry her head to his mother's grave to pay his respects.
He would not let Dai Hao and Dai Huabin go either; he would make sure the entire White Tiger Duke Mansion was completely removed from the Star Luo Empire.
Next, under the arrangement of Bei Bei and Xuan Zi, the two sides held several friendly matches, which could be regarded as a way to get them used to each other before the big competition.
After training, Bei Bei went to the Spirit Pagoda to see how its construction was progressing.
With Bi Ji's help, the Soul Spirit stored in the Spirit Pagoda has now reached several thousand.
The execution of the Spirit Pagoda was relatively smooth.
At that moment, someone caught Bei Bei's attention.
He was a man in his late twenties, approaching thirty, with pale skin, handsome features, and long, jet-black hair tied back with a headband. His gaze was very focused.
What caught Bei Bei's eye was the sword on the man's back, about four feet long, entirely black, and with an antique style.
Although it looks ordinary, one can clearly feel the pure and sharp sword intent contained within it.
This person is none other than the sword fanatic Ji Juechen!
The four people Huo Yuhao recruited from the Sun Moon Empire have now all joined the Spirit Pagoda.
Xu Sanshi, He Caitou, Wang Qiu'er, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong'er, Tang Ya, Ye Guyi had already made a promise with Bei Bei to join the Spirit Pagoda together after graduation.
Ji Juechen strode towards Bei Bei.
Behind him, a noble and aloof woman was desperately pulling at him, but she could not stop him.
"You are the dean of the Shrek Academy. I've heard Huo Yuhao mention you before. I'd like to challenge you to a match," Ji Juechen invited calmly.
Jing Ziyan, who was unable to stop him, looked at Bei Bei with some trepidation. Ji Juechen's challenge to a Titled Douluo powerhouse made her tremble with fear.
She desperately wanted to go back in time and gouge out her own eyes. How could she have ever fallen for such a dimwit?
He cared nothing for anything but the sword, and even dared to provoke Titled Douluo.
"I know you, a sword fanatic. If it weren't for your poor Innate Soul Power, you would definitely shine even brighter on the continent." Bei Bei looked at the other person, her eyes full of admiration. "Of course, you are also excellent now!"
Jing Ziyan's tense expression relaxed a little; thankfully, the other party was not angered by Ji Juechen's recklessness.
"I accept your challenge," Bei Bei said with a smile, leading the other person out of the Spirit Pagoda and to an open space.
Ji Juechen stood on the other side not far away, holding a jet-black Extraterrestrial Meteorite Sword.
Two yellow, two purple, and two black Soul Ring rose gracefully from beneath his feet.
His aura assimilated the surrounding space, making it utterly lifeless, as if devoid of any vitality. A faint gray hue enveloped him.
This is his sword intent: Silence!
Even his six Soul Ring were stained gray, and this gray color continued to spread outwards.
Golden lightning erupted from Bei Bei's hand, gradually compressing and coalescing into a brilliant golden longsword.
An aura also emanated from him, but unlike Ji Juechen's deathly stillness, it spread out with an aura containing light, life, dominance, and the power to Reign Over the World.
Golden light slowly spread, and within the area enveloped by his aura, it was as if all the rules were written by his own hand, and order was established because of him.
Within his domain, everything was his territory. He possessed absolute dominance, inspiring involuntary submission in all who beheld him. He exuded an aura of supreme authority, as if he were the only one worthy of respect in the world.
This is Bei Bei's will, Tyrant Emperor!
Ji Juechen lightly touched the ground with his toes, like a sharp sword beam, heading straight for Bei Bei. His long sword slashed out horizontally with extreme naturalness, aiming straight for Bei Bei's vitals.
Ji Juechen knew that his strength was no match for Bei Bei's. He concentrated all his cultivation and sword intent into a single strike, unleashing his strongest attack.
Without much movement, Bei Bei simply raised her arm slightly, and the golden longsword in her hand blocked the opponent's attack.
A lonely, snow-like sword intent emanated from this sword strike.
But under Bei Bei's Reign Over the World and Tyrant Emperor aura, this sword intent was shattered time and time again.
A force emanated from the Extraterrestrial Meteorite Sword in Ji Juechen's hand, violently blasting him away.
The Extraterrestrial Meteorite Sword was shattered instantly by Bei Bei's domineering power.
The battle between the two ended with just one sword strike.
"Your sword intent is very pure, even a little too pure, bordering on extreme. Perhaps you should change direction; it might allow you to go further," Bei Bei said with a faint smile.
Ji Juechen's sword intent is loneliness, a kind of solitude that abandons everything and leaves one alone; it belongs to the ruthless sword.
If he could comprehend the Sword of Sentiment and transform its sword intent from solitude to emotion, his strength would undoubtedly reach another level.
Bei Bei's intention encompasses Yongzhen; the more he comprehends, the stronger his intention becomes.
The sword strike just now greatly benefited Ji Juechen, giving him a vague understanding. With Jing Ziyan's support, he slowly left.
"Here, this might be of some help to you." Bei Bei handed a golden-red greatsword to Ji Juechen.
It was the Judgment Sword, an eighth-level close-range Soul Tool that Bei Bei had taken from Ma Rulong.
Initially, Bei Bei was very interested in the sword's ability to transform between light and darkness, and studied it extensively. She also applied some of its principles to her own Eternal Undying Battle Armor.
This sword is of little use to him now, so it's time to give it to someone more suitable.
Ji Juechen's Extraterrestrial Meteorite Sword was not made of any particularly precious material, and it was completely incomparable to this Judgment Sword, which was forged from a variety of rare metals.
Ji Juechen looked at the Judgment Sword before him, somewhat puzzled, but still took it and solemnly said to Bei Bei, "I will not let this sword down!"
Bei Bei nodded slightly, then turned and left.
Bei Bei returned to the Shrek Academy and eventually arrived at the Death God Tower area, which was under renovation.
Xuan Ziwen, along with a group of Soul Engineer from the Spirit Pagoda, is busy with research and modifications.
Xuan Ziwen is currently only Eight-Ring Soul Douluo, still at the Level 8 Soul Engineer stage.
