Shrek Academy, Sea God Pavilion.
conference hall.
Yan Shaozhe stood up, put his hands on the table, and scanned the faces of everyone present.
"For this continent-wide high-level Soul Master Academy elite competition, our Shrek entry list has been decided."
He picked up a piece of paper on the table and read, "Seven members of the regular team, Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Ling Luochеn, Xi Xi, Yao Haoxuan, Chen Zifeng, Gongyang Mo."
No objection.
These seven people are the strongest lineup Inner Court can currently produce.
Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng are both Soul Emperor, and the other five are all Soul King level. In previous years, this configuration was enough to crush most opponents.
But there was no smile on Yan Shaozhe's face.
Because Lin Yaoyang is gone.
Not only did he leave, he also took away Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, and Jiang Nannan. Three core disciples, three good prospects with the potential to enter Inner Court, just followed him and left Shrek without looking back.
Yan Shaozhe sighed and continued reading, "Reserve members, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu."
Cai Mei'er sat aside and nodded slightly.
Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi are both Four-Ring Soul Ancestor, which is strong enough; Dai Huabin is level 37, which is considered excellent at this age, and he and Zhu Lu can play Martial Soul Fusion Skill, which is a card that can be used flexibly.
"Also,"
Yan Shaozhe paused, "Mu En suggested that Soul Tool Department also send disciples to join the reserve team."
Xian Lin'er's eyes lit up.
She mentioned the development issues of the Soul Tool Department on Sea God Pavilion Meeting countless times, but every time she was prevaricated by those Yan Shaozhe and Xuan Zi on the grounds that "Martial Soul Department is the fundamental".
This time, Mu En spoke in person, so it was hard for others to say anything.
"Fan Yu," Xian Lin'er looked at Fan Yu sitting in the corner, "Do you have anyone there?"
Fan Yu thought for a while.
No need to think about it at all.
"He Caitou, Huo Yuhao."
The conference hall was quiet for a moment.
He Caitou, Four-Ring Soul Ancestor, Food-type Martial Soul, Level Four Soul Engineer. No one has an opinion on this.
Yan Shaozhe frowned and said, "Fan Yu, He Caitou I do know, who is this Huo Yuhao?"
Fan Yu introduced with a smile, "This is my close disciple! His talent is very good..."
"What kind of cultivation is he?"
Yan Shaozhe interrupted and asked directly the key points.
"...Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster."
Fan Yu's voice is a little quiet.
A Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster?!
Seeing Yan Shaozhe's face, Fan Yu added, "But don't worry, you will understand how powerful he is after you learn about his Soul Skill!"
Yan Shaozhe Several people looked at each other, a little speechless. How powerful can one Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster be?
But there is no other way but to make arrangements first.
So they called the students together and told them about the situation.
Ma Xiaotao heard this and frowned. "Teacher, what can a Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster do up here? Even if he is a reserve team member, his cultivation level is too..."
"Let him show Soul Skill first."
Fan Yu said.
"Yuhao!"
Huo Yuhao stood up, a little nervous, but still released Martial Soul.
Pale golden light lit up from his eyes, and a circle of white Ten-Year Soul Ring rose from his feet. He gave Spirit Detection Sharing to everyone present.
The atmosphere at the scene changed.
That kind of precise, three-dimensional map-like perception made everyone's expression change from doubt to surprise, and from surprise to solemnity.
"Okay."
Ma Xiaotao was the first to speak.
No one else objected anymore.
The list is finalized.
Seven people are selected and six people are prepared.
The instructor is Wang Yan.
The leading teacher is...Xuan Zi.
When Yan Shaozhe announced this decision, he took a special look at Xuan Zi.
Xuan Zi was sitting at the bottom, with his head lowered and holding a wine gourd in his hand. He was not drinking, but was just stroking the bottle of the gourd.
Yan Shaozhe knows that what happened to Star Dou Forest last time made Xuan Zi's status worse than before.
Sea God Pavilion Elder has become an honorary senior leader, and Supervision Group is the acting deputy leader at present.
This decision was made by Mu En.
Mu En asked him to lead the team to participate in the competition, saying that he was "doing meritorious deeds", but anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was to give Xuan Zi some dignity.
It's up to him whether he wants to make amends for his mistakes or atone for his sins.
Xuan Zi didn't say anything.
It's not a short distance from Shrek City to Star Luo City.
Xuan Zi led the team and took on a mission from Supervision Group before setting off.
Go to a mountainous area bordering Star Luo Empire and Sun Moon Empire to find and kill a group of bandits.
This kind of task is nothing to Supervision Group.
But Xuan Zi underestimated the strength of those bandits.
In other words, he didn't take those "bandits" seriously at all.
The battle took place in a valley.
The other party is not an ordinary bandit. Their leader is a Evil Soul Master. Not only is Soul Skill weird, he also has many bombs placed around him.
Of the seven main candidates, one died and six were seriously injured.
Huo Yuhao was also kidnapped by Death Messenger in the chaos.
When Xuan Zi found Huo Yuhao, although he was still alive, he fell into a coma.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's silkworm slough saved his life, or luck saved his life, but no one could tell which one.
When Xuan Zi picked him up from the ground, Huo Yuhao muttered a few words in his mouth, which were inaudible, like "mom" or something else.
The cave was in a mess.
Bodies were lying around, some belonging to bandits and some belonging to Shrek.
Xuan Zi stood among the corpses, the wine gourd in his hand empty.
He was silent for a long time, then put the wine gourd back on his waist, wrapped all the people who were still alive with Soul Power, and flew in the direction of Star Luo City.
Along the way, he didn't speak.
Star Luo City.
The competition is about to start, and the whole city is immersed in a lively atmosphere. The streets and alleys are filled with flags of various countries and badges of various colleges. The shouts of vendors are filled with the surroundings of the competition, and even the air is filled with restless excitement.
Lin Yaoyang and three girls stood outside Royal Soul Fighting Arena, looking at the spectators who were entering the venue one after another.
Wang Dong'er stood on tiptoes and looked forward across the crowd. Xiao Xiao held on to Lin Yaoyang's sleeves, for fear of being washed away by the crowd. Jiang Nannan stood quietly on the other side of Lin Yaoyang, looking calmly at the people coming and going around him.
The opening ceremony was grand.
Emperor Xu Jiawei of the Star Luo Empire also attended.
The first knockout round begins, Shrek Academy versus Tianling Academy.
Ling Luochеn's injury is the least serious among the six serious injuries, and there are only six qualifiers, so Wang Yan had to arrange for Ling Luochеn to play with the qualifiers.
Ling Luochеn walked in the front, head held high, with a cold face. Behind her were six people, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, He Caitou, Huo Yuhao.
Six reserve players and one regular player.
The whole place was quiet for a moment.
Xiao Xiao's eyes widened and he pulled Lin Yaoyang's sleeve. "Brother Yao Yang, is Shrek Academy so arrogant? Only one Soul King, and another Soul Grandmaster?"
"It's not arrogance."
Wang Dong'er was also a little puzzled, "I remember the first round of the knockout round. If you lose, you will be eliminated directly, right? Shrek is so bold?"
Lin Yaoyang said, "Maybe something happened to their main team. But for the sake of face, they had to bite the bullet."
The three women looked at each other and nodded.
Maybe.
