Above the imperial city, Emperor Star Luo Empire slowly sat back on the throne and did not speak for a long time. His fingers tapped lightly on the armrest, once, and again.
"There are only eleven people on the competition list for the Shrek Academy. There are four regular team members, among which Dai Yueheng, the legitimate son of Duke White Tiger, is not on the list." The minister's voice was extremely low, "I speculate that Shrek Academy encountered an accident on the way to Star Luo City. I have sent people to investigate."
"The sooner the better." The emperor withdrew his gaze, and his voice returned to the emperor's usual calmness, but with a trace of unquestionable majesty, "I'm going to investigate this young man by the way. I want to know all the information about him and see if I can win him over."
Lin Shuo put away Martial Soul, and the colorful light in the sky rolled back into his body like a tide. Four black Soul Ring sank into his feet one by one, and he turned around and walked towards the audience.
Returning to the rest area, several people from the reserve team immediately gathered around. Wang Dong'er was the first to rush forward, with his pink-blue ponytail swinging in a sharp arc behind his head. "Lin Shuo, you are too fierce! One move! Just one move!"
Huo Yu'er's blue eyes reflected the figure of Lin Shuo, and the corners of his lips curved in a slight arc. But the peace of mind and pride in those eyes were more straightforward than any words.
Wang Yan pushed up his glasses and walked quickly to Lin Shuo, "Lin Shuo, thank you for your hard work. There are still a few games to be played. Do you want to stay and continue to watch?"
"It's not necessary." Lin Shuo shook his head and said calmly, "The opponents in the group stage are not worth spending time on. Instead of sitting here and wasting time, it is better to go back and review the training."
Wang Yan nodded immediately after hearing this. The group left Soul Fighting Plaza directly.
At this time, the entire Star Luo City became more lively because of their departure.
Shrek Academy sent only one boy from the reserve team to fight. Four Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings killed seven people in one move. The news spread to every corner of Star Luo City within an hour after the game, as if it had grown wings.
Star Luo Imperial Palace.
Star Luo Empire Princess Xu Jiujiu is in her palace. Next to her, an old woman with white hair and beard is lowering her head and talking to her.
"Really? Grandma Manyi, did the preparatory student Shrek Academy really kill the seven players on the opposite side with one move?" Xu Jiujiu looked at Nebula Douluo Manyi next to him in surprise.
"Yes, Your Highness Princess." Manyi bowed slightly, with a hint of shock in his old voice, "That player's name is Lin Shuo, Martial Soul is a colorful dragon with a very strong oppressive power, which means that the dragon's Martial Soul level is very high. During the game, the dragon breathed out the dragon's breath with the dual elements of light and dark, and the game ended directly."
She paused, and a glimmer of light flashed in her cloudy old eyes. "What's even more incredible is his Soul Ring Configuration. It's not a hundred years, not a thousand years, but four Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings. I have lived for so many years, and I have never seen anything so contrary to Soul Master common sense."
Xu Jiujiu thought for a long time and asked, "Did the emperor say anything over there?"
Manyi heard this and replied, "Your Majesty has sent someone to check the details of the young man. I believe there will be news soon."
Xu Jiujiu said no more. She turned around again, looked through the window, and landed on Star Emperor Hotel in the distance. After a long time, she spoke softly, her voice as low as talking to herself.
"Lin Shuo..."
Everyone returned to the hotel, and Shrek Academy had no games for the next two days.
Except for Wang Yan, no one left Star Emperor Hotel.
Ma Xiaotao and Xi Xi are working hard to recover from their injuries.
The reserve team, Ling Luochеn and Gongyang Mo are working hard to practice and strive to improve their cultivation before the competition.
Wang Yan went to Soul Fighting Plaza to collect information on opponents he may encounter in the future.
Early the morning before the lap race started, the door to the rest area was pushed open.
A slender figure walked in against the morning light. It was a very beautiful woman, wearing a plain white dress that outlined her slender silhouette, with long black hair hanging down to her waist. Her facial features were delicate and white, and her quiet and gentle temperament was unforgettable at first sight.
Behind her, a slovenly old man wandered in - with a wine gourd in his left hand and a chicken drumstick in his right hand, with gray hair standing unkempt. He was none other than Xuan Zi.
"Xuan Zi!" Wang Yan was the first to stand up, his tone full of surprise, "You are finally back."
The students who heard the commotion also came out one after another.
"Xuan Zi, Sister Grandmaster!" Ma Xiaotao came out of the room, her complexion was much better than a few days ago. When she saw Zhang Lexuan, her eyes suddenly lit up, she strode forward to meet her, and held her hand Zhang Lexuan's hand pulled her in front of everyone in the reserve team, and his voice was as hearty as ever. "This is Zhang Lexuan, sister Grandmaster of our inner court! The chief disciple of the inner court, Eight-Ring Soul Douluo!"
Several people in the reserve team took a deep breath. Eight-Ring Soul Douluo. This sister Grandmaster, who seemed to be in her early twenties, had actually reached this level of cultivation.
Zhang Lexuan glanced at Ma Xiaotao helplessly and said hello to everyone, "Juniors and juniors, thank you for your hard work. Next, I will fight with you all."
Several people in the reserve team quickly stood up and saluted.
Bei Bei stood behind the crowd, his eyes froze slightly the moment he touched Zhang Lexuan. Something strange flashed across his usually gentle and jade-like face. He lowered his eyes and moved half a step behind Xu Sanshi without leaving any trace.
Zhang Lexuan's eyes swept across the faces of the reserve team members one by one. After seeing Bei Bei, he paused for a moment, then looked away as if nothing had happened, and finally fell in one direction and stopped.
"You are Lin Shuo." Zhang Lexuan spoke first, "I heard Xuan Zi talk about you. I heard about your previous game. You did well."
"Senior Sister Zhang." Lin Shuo nodded slightly as a greeting.
The two looked at each other for a moment, then each looked away.
Xuan Zi took a sip of wine, wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and glanced at everyone present with his cloudy old eyes. "Okay, don't stand still. The lap race will start tomorrow. Next, you will have Lexuan and Wang Yan as your team teachers. I will be in charge for you secretly."
When Lin Shuo heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched. It was just that you were sitting in secret, but Death Messenger got a big blow.
However, with Zhang Lexuan around, Zhang Lexuan is much more reliable than Xuan Zi.
After Xuan Zi finished speaking, he left the conference room directly.
After Xuan Zi left, Zhang Lexuan said to Wang Yan, "Teacher Wang, I am not sure about many things when I first arrived. You can make arrangements for the rest."
Wang Yan nodded, clapped his hands, and motioned for everyone to look at him, "Next, we will arrange the tactics for the lap race. As mentioned before, there will be three combat modes for the lap race."
