"That's only natural, please go ahead and speak, Miss Shangguan."
On the Douluo Continent, the strong were respected, and furthermore, Shangguan Li-who was even stronger than Dugu Bo-existed like a heavenly deity in the eyes of Prince Xue Xing.
The others clearly also noticed that His Highness the Prince was very respectful to Shangguan Li, and the few individuals from Shrek Academy changed their gaze toward her from astonishment and jealousy to pleading.
"Then make them promise that upon obtaining the grand championship of the Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament and joining the academy, they cannot quit the academy under any pretext. How does that condition sound?"
It was not that Shangguan Li deliberately lowered the difficulty for Shrek Academy to enter Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but rather that she wanted to test how changing the plot would turn out. If the current Shrek Academy joined Heaven Dou Royal Academy, would they still encounter Liu Erlong?
Possibly, considering they all lived within the region of Heaven Dou City. If they met Liu Erlong, would Shrek Academy choose to continue staying at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, or break the rules and choose to go to Liu Erlong's Blue Tyrant Academy to establish a new Shrek Academy?
After hearing Shangguan Li's words, Flender wore a beaming smile. "That is naturally fine. This Miss Shangguan, our Shrek-no, the students of our academy are geniuses seen once in a century, and we will definitely win the championship. Please believe us."
"That's right, just let them join, Your Highness the Prince. If they truly win the championship, wouldn't it be the glory of not just the academy, but the empire?"
Shangguan Li looked at Prince Xue Xing standing to the side. Although his expression was somewhat unsightly, he could not bring himself to refute Shangguan Li.
"Since Miss Shangguan says so, then prove yourselves with your actions. Xue Beng, let's go."
The prince also felt he had lost face and could no longer stay here, so he could only take Xue Beng and leave in a hurry.
"In that case, I'll go look for Yan Yan as well."
Dugu Bo also quickly departed, leaving only the three committee members, the few people from Shrek Academy, and Shangguan Li present.
Meng Shenji boldly spoke up, "This Miss Shangguan, may I ask who you are?"
"I am a friend of the Poison Douluo. For now, just think of me as that."
"Thank you for your help, Miss Shangguan. All of us at Shrek Academy will never forget your assistance." Flender knew how to read the room; this young lady helping them was merely an accident, and her arrival here might simply have been to watch a show.
"It's nothing."
Shangguan Li didn't care about such trivial matters at all, because her gaze had consistently been fixed on Xiao Wu. Others hadn't noticed her, but Xiao Wu had indeed noticed Shangguan Li, and their lines of sight even clashed briefly in the air.
It was just that due to her own reasons, Xiao Wu quickly hid herself. After all, Xiao Wu was currently a 100,000-year Humanoid Soul Beast-a walking Soul Ring and Soul Bone, and no powerhouse would let her go.
Shangguan Li quickly withdrew her gaze, but the several male students from Shrek Academy were still staring intently at Shangguan Li. To them, Shangguan Li was a beautiful and powerful existence, the very other half they dreamed of.
Yet Shangguan Li did not like them at all. "In that case, you few can properly discuss the remaining matters yourselves. Dean Flender, Chief Meng Shenji, see you if we have the chance."
Just as Shangguan Li intended to leave, someone with a death wish actually blocked her path. "This Miss Shangguan, please stay your steps."
"Who are you?" Shangguan Li naturally knew who the man before her was. With such a slovenly appearance, wasn't it that source of all evil, Yu Xiaogang?
Yu Xiaogang was courteous and refined. "I am Yu Xiaogang, a teacher at Shrek Academy. I have a matter I'd like to discuss with you."
"What matter?" Shangguan Li had no desire to stay in the same room as this disgusting existence; this was already the limit of her endurance.
"I hope we can discuss this matter privately."
Who knew what gave Yu Xiaogang the courage to actually pull off intercepting a powerhouse.
"Get lost." Shangguan Li was extremely displeased. Clearly she was already about to leave, yet this Yu Xiaogang was impatiently blocking her path.
Soon, a layer of intense golden light erupted from Shangguan Li's body, and rings of light successively rose from beneath her feet.
Yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red, red. A total of nine Soul Rings spiraled upward, and the dazzling radiance made the entire committee hall resplendent.
The expressions of the Shrek Academy group changed, and the faces of the three committee members turned dark as well. Who could have imagined that the young woman before them was actually one of the absolute top supreme powerhouses on the continent today, a Titled Douluo with Soul Power reaching Level 90?
They still didn't know that everything they saw was merely Shangguan Li's disguised appearance, for currently Shangguan Li possessed God Rings on her body, not a single Soul Ring below one million years of cultivation.
Yu Xiaogang's expression changed as well. He had thought the young woman before him might be a Spirit Emperor or a Spirit Saint, and that she enjoyed Prince Xue Xing's respect purely because of the Poison Douluo beside her.
Yet Yu Xiaogang had guessed wrong. This woman's strength was inherently greater than Dugu Bo's, and what was even more shocking were the Soul Rings on her body. Her second Soul Ring was already a thousand-year one, her fourth Soul Ring was already a ten-thousand-year one, and there were even two 100,000-year Soul Rings.
Yet it was precisely because of these extraordinary aspects on Shangguan Li that it further ignited Yu Xiaogang's enthusiasm. As long as he figured out the secret to Shangguan Li absorbing Soul Rings beyond her rank, then his own disciple Tang San would become just like the young woman before him, possessing more and higher-age Soul Rings.
"Your Majesty, please forgive our academy teacher's rudeness. May I ask what Your Majesty's title is?"
Yu Xiaogang had been rendered speechless by Shangguan Li's imposing aura and could only let Flender make the apology. Moreover, Flender also asked a question that everyone was hanging on.
"Mingxi, my title."
This title hadn't been used by anyone else for a long time. When Shangguan Li became a Titled Douluo, she cultivated every day, had little interaction with people on the Douluo Continent, and hadn't even registered at Spirit Hall's Douluo Hall.
Mingxi-they had never heard of this moniker, but this woman's strength had indeed reached the realm of a Titled Douluo. Could she be a newly advanced Titled Douluo who hadn't gone to Spirit Hall to register yet?
"Your Majesty Mingxi, I am extremely grateful for your help to our academy. This grace I will never forget."
"It's nothing." Shangguan Li retracted her imposing aura as well and looked at Flender. Sure enough, Flender was someone who understood reason, completely different from that clingy Yu Xiaogang.
However, Shangguan Li noticed that when she released her Martial Soul, an ardent gaze had been watching her. That was Zhu Zhuqing. She craved to become stronger, to become as strong as the Shangguan Li before her.
As for Xiao Wu, she wore a terrified expression, but her gaze could not conceal her fury. Two 100,000-year Soul Rings meant that Shangguan Li had killed two 100,000-year Soul Beasts.
To the extent that Xiao Wu overlooked one fact: Xiao Wu did not sense any lingering Evil Thought of a Soul Beast within Shangguan Li's Soul Rings.
