The ninth floor of the hotel.
In the largest, most luxurious room, on an oversized sofa, the two generations of Shrek Seven Devils, both the regulars and the prospective members, sat upright.
Xuan Zi, with one hand behind his back, explained the competition rules concisely, "Tomorrow is the opening match, which is also the first stage of the elimination rounds. The rules are seven-on-seven team battles, and you can decide the players yourself."
"I have only one request: win this opening match beautifully!"
After saying that, he glanced at Su Ling, nodded slightly without making a sound, and then disappeared in an instant.
Inside the room.
All eyes turned to Ma Xiaotao.
With Xuan Zi absent, and given her superior Soul Power and status as the captain of the Shrek Seven Devils, the decision of who would play in tomorrow's opening match would naturally fall to her.
Ma Xiaotao fell into thought.
Her original intention was to arrange for the Official Seven Monsters of the main team to attack together, crushing the opponents with overwhelming force and achieving a perfect victory.
However, this would undoubtedly expose their trump card, which would be a loss. If they sent the reserve team, although Ma Xiaotao highly recognized their strength...
Ultimately, only Su Ling in the reserve team is capable of leading the charge; the average Soul Power Level of the others is around level 35.
In a competition where the lowest level is Soul Ancestor, it's difficult to achieve a resounding victory, and it's simply impossible to meet Xuan Zi's requirements.
Just as Ma Xiaotao's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly,
Huo Yuhao suddenly raised his hand straight. "Senior Ma, I have a way."
"Oh? Tell me about it."
"I have a Soul Skill that can change the color of my Soul Ring by distorting a small area of space."
Ma Xiaotao became interested. "Continue."
"Once I'm on stage, I'll use this Soul Skill to Simulation all my Soul Ring being 100,000 years old. At that time, both the audience and our opponents will be incredibly shocked and lose their will to fight."
"As for the candidates, Su Ling and I will suffice." Huo Yuhao said seriously, with confidence.
After hearing this, the others looked at each other and began to consider the feasibility of this method.
Su Ling raised an eyebrow slightly.
He saw through Huo Yuhao's thoughts. How cunning this kid was! Both he and he had genuine 100,000-Year Soul Ring.
Simulation Soul Ring?
Sorry, but I do have 100,000-Year Soul Ring.
Who can tell the difference between truth and falsehood?
"Can we see it first?"
It wasn't that Ma Xiaotao didn't believe it; she was just afraid that this Simulation Soul Skill would be full of flaws, and that it would not only fail to deter but would also backfire.
"No problem." Huo Yuhao nodded and immediately released his second Soul Skill – Simulation.
In an instant, two bright red 100,000-Year Soul Ring suddenly shone from his body, staining the entire luxurious room red.
Apart from Su Ling, everyone unconsciously stepped back, releasing their own Soul Ring to resist the " Simulation " pressure of 100,000-Year Soul Ring.
"This kind of power..."
"It can be made to look completely real!"
Ma Xiaotao's beautiful eyes lit up, "Very good! Huo Yuhao, we'll use your method for tomorrow's opening match!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
It's surprising that Huo Yuhao, who has the lowest Soul Power, not only possesses a powerful Second Martial Soul, but also such an abnormal Soul Skill.
Huo Yuhao deactivated the Simulation, his Soul Ring returning to their original white and purple state. He chuckled, "Okay, Senior Ma, tomorrow Brother Su Ling and I will definitely put on a spectacular performance in the opening match!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Su Ling with expectant eyes, as if seeking praise.
"Yes, Xiaotao, you can rest assured about that." Su Ling nodded slightly, then looked at Huo Yuhao, " Huo Yuhao, get some rest today, and don't let me down tomorrow."
"Yes!"
After agreeing on the terms, everyone returned to their respective luxury rooms to rest. After nearly two days of travel and hard work, they needed to recover their energy to face the competition.
Inside Su Ling's room.
Jiang Nannan sat cross-legged, absorbing the right leg bone of the 100,000-year-old Soft Bones Charming Rabbit, as requested by Su Ling.
This Soul Bone was a perfect match for her, and Su Ling herself had already completed the replacement of her right leg bone.
After absorbing this Soul Bone, her Soul Power will increase by at least three or four levels, which will greatly improve her performance in subsequent competitions.
In less than half an hour,
Jiang Nannan successfully absorbed the power, Soul Power rose three levels from level 45 to the peak of level 48, just a hair's breadth away from breaking through to level 49.
With her calm and powerful Soul Power, she leaped off the bed and into Su Ling, wrapping her arms and legs tightly Entanglement him like a little sloth.
" Su Ling, thank you. This Soul Bone not only improved the quality of my Martial Soul slightly, but I also gained an extremely powerful Soul Bone Skill!"
Su Ling gently lifted her soft bottom and chuckled softly, "Tell me about it."
" Invincible Golden Body Group Shield!"
"You can cast an Invincible Golden Body Shield on me and up to six teammates around me!"
Jiang Nannan blinked, her eyes pleading for praise.
Upon hearing this, Su Ling's joy was evident.
An Invincible Golden Body would be overpowered enough, granting temporary immunity to all damage, but Jiang Nannan gained an entire group of invincible golden bodies!
When the team fight starts, once she Invincible Golden Body Group Shield, all seven members will be able to ignore damage and go straight for the core enemy...
"That's an amazing skill!"
"Giving Jiang Nannan this Soul Bone was definitely a wise choice!" Su Ling hugged her and spun her around twice, then sat back down on the edge of the bed and looked down to find his shoes.
Seeing Su Ling's movement, Jiang Nannan gently stepped on his hand with her delicate, pink feet wrapped in white silk.
" Su Ling, don't bother helping me put on my shoes. Nobody knows I'm here anyway, and the hotel is well soundproofed..."
"I want to... do something special with you."
Jiang Nannan pursed her lips, looking shy.
"Oh?" Su Ling raised an eyebrow, intrigued, and held the pinkish jade foot in his palm. "What special thing does Jiang Nannan want to do?"
"Let me give you... a back massage!"
"Is it just a back massage?"
"Well... of course, don't overthink it."
"Alright, I'm feeling a bit unwell anyway, so I'll rely on Technician Jiang to help me relax." Su Ling smiled, released her delicate little feet, and lay down on the bed.
Jiang Nannan didn't hesitate either, placing her warm, jade-like feet on his back and beginning to serve him attentively.
Su Ling closed her eyes comfortably.
At this moment, Jiang Nannan suddenly spoke, her tone slightly unnatural, "... You've been to places like that?"
"Hmm? Which one?"
"You just called me Technician Jiang. I'm not some clueless girl. The word 'technician' clearly comes from that kind of place!"
Su Ling was lying down, so she couldn't see Jiang Nannan's expression, but judging from her tone, she seemed a little jealous and resentful.
"I've never been there, I've only heard about it. Besides, with Jiang Nannan here, why would I need to ask someone else?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nannan paused for a moment, then softened her grip. "Then promise me that if you ever get tired, you can come to me anytime. I'm just as good at massages and back-stepping as anyone else!"
"And..."
"I only love you."
These words were spoken.
Su Ling paused for a moment, then suddenly chuckled, "Okay, from now on, Jiang Nannan will be my personal technician~"
