The Tournament Begins

Two and a half days later.

Bi Ji was finally conquered by Chen Ping'an.

She revealed the long-buried secret.

By then, she was limp all over, leaning against a tree.

Chen Ping'an stood by the Lake of Life.

Looking at the unfathomable Lake of Life, he said, "Silver Dragon King, I'm looking forward to you more and more."

Chen Ping'an did not know how long he had been staring before he said to Bi Ji, "Let's go."

"I-I can't get up. I'm completely limp."

Bi Ji looked at Chen Ping'an with a hint of coquettishness.

Even with 570,000 years of cultivation, she could not recover so quickly.

"You're the Emerald Swan, ranked fourth among the Ten Ferocious Beasts. Don't tell me you're this useless."

Chen Ping'an stepped forward and injected a surge of abundant Soul Power into Bi Ji.

Only then did Bi Ji recover somewhat.

Bi Ji steadied herself, rose to her feet, and said shyly, "Thank you, Ping An Gege~"

At the same time, she let down her tied-up hair.

After the two of them left, the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape finally dared to emerge.

They had no idea how stifled they had felt over the past two and a half days.

They had guarded the outskirts the entire time, unable to let any soul beast enter the core area.

After Chen Ping'an and Bi Ji left, they returned to the Great Soul Arena in Suotuo City.

After receiving Bear Monarch's guidance, every member of the Skywater Team, including Wang Ke, had raised her Soul Power by one level.

In an instant, Bear Monarch became the center of their attention.

Having lived in the Star Dou Great Forest all his life, he had never received such treatment.

His heart was greatly satisfied as well.

"They're back."

Bear Monarch, who had been listening to Wang Ke explain the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, suddenly stood up.

He had already sensed Bi Ji's aura entering the Great Soul Arena in Suotuo City.

Yet he was also somewhat puzzled. Why was Bi Ji's aura even stronger than before?

She had only been gone for two and a half days, yet she had improved this much.

If she disappeared for two and a half years...

While Bear Monarch let his imagination run wild, Chen Ping'an pushed open the door and entered.

"Ping An Gege, you're back!"

The women all swarmed toward him.

After their trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, they had been completely won over by Chen Ping'an's strength.

At the same time, thanks to Chen Ping'an, their own strength had improved considerably as well.

The moment he entered, Chen Ping'an asked, "I heard you saying that the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament has begun."

Normally, the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament should not have started so soon. Since it had suddenly begun now, could something have changed?

"Yes. Two days ago, it was suddenly announced that the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament would begin, and our Skywater Academy's Skywater Team was directly advanced to the finals."

The reason the Skywater Team had been directly advanced to the finals was Zhu Zhuqing's terrifying strength.

She had reached Level 55 at only twelve years old. There had never been anyone like her.

Then there was their astonishing record at the Great Soul Arena.

That record was unprecedented and would never be surpassed.

Chen Ping'an nodded and said, "Although you've been directly advanced to the finals, you cannot slack off. Strive to all break through Level 40 before the finals."

Three days later, Heaven Dou City, the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire.

The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament held its grand opening ceremony here.

The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament attracted more than just fans. From royalty, nobles, and wealthy families to ordinary citizens, every resident of Heaven Dou City regarded this tournament as the grandest festival.

Wang Ke also brought her students back to Heaven Dou City.

The moment they returned to Heaven Dou City, the dean personally led the vice deans and teachers to welcome them at the academy gates.

Not only that, as one of the Four Elements Academy, Skywater Academy had the other three academy deans come to learn from them after hearing of the Skywater Team's record. They too stood at the entrance to welcome them.

This was the glory of Heaven Dou City!

Chen Ping'an brought the two ferocious beasts along with him.

As their team leader, Wang Ke also felt an unparalleled sense of honor.

This feeling was even better than raising her Soul Power by one level.

It gave her an even greater sense of accomplishment.

After arriving in Heaven Dou City, Bear Monarch looked around at its prosperity.

As a ferocious beast, he had never seen such a thriving human world. Especially after being flattered and exalted by the women, he had become even more curious about the human world.

He was only one step away from thinking of himself as a true human.

Bear Monarch said to Bi Ji beside him, "Bi Ji, we've really wasted all these years. I never thought the human world could be this wonderful."

"It is much better than those dull days before."

As Bi Ji spoke, she recalled what had happened three days ago.

Those two and a half days had been the most unforgettable days of her life.

They had also been the best experience of her life.

Lost in her memories, Bi Ji had long forgotten everything around her and merely followed along blankly.

Only when they neared Skywater Academy did the enthusiastic cheers draw her back to reality.

Skywater Academy's dean, Liu Ruyan, immediately came forward to greet them.

"Teacher Wang, you've worked hard."

When Liu Ruyan took Wang Ke's hand, she spotted Zhu Zhuqing in black behind her. Standing among the academy students, Zhu Zhuqing looked utterly out of place, and Liu Ruyan immediately knew who she was.

"This must be Xiao Zhu."

Liu Ruyan changed her expression quickly. She immediately went to Zhu Zhuqing's side, took her hand, and appeared exceptionally warm and cordial.

Zhu Zhuqing gave a slight nod in greeting.

She was cold by nature and still was not accustomed to such enthusiastic occasions.

Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat awkward, Wang Ke spoke up. "Dean, they've had a tiring journey as well. I'll arrange for them to rest first."

Only then did Liu Ruyan react. "Yes, yes, yes. Teacher Wang, take them to rest first. If you need anything, just tell me."

Wang Ke led them away, while the other teachers followed one after another.

Wang Ke had now become the center of attention among the teachers. Everyone wanted to learn from her how she had trained such a powerful team.

After everyone entered the academy, Liu Ruyan looked at Chen Ping'an. "Thank you, Your Excellency. Your willingness to join our Skywater Academy is the honor of Skywater Academy."

Liu Ruyan gave Chen Ping'an a deep bow, displaying utmost sincerity.

Earlier, she had been summoned by the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Combined with the information Wang Ke had sent back, they had basically confirmed that Chen Ping'an was a Titled Douluo powerhouse.

Such a young Titled Douluo powerhouse could absolutely raise the Heaven Dou Empire's standing to another level.

And Skywater Academy's status would likewise become comparable to the Upper Three Sects.

This was unprecedented, and as the dean, she would benefit from the glory as well.

But she had no idea that Chen Ping'an's current strength was not merely enough to rival the Upper Three Sects. He would have no problem crushing Spirit Hall.

"Mm, it's good that you know."

Chen Ping'an merely nodded without much reaction.

Liu Ruyan also understood the meaning behind his words.

"Your Excellency, the Crown Prince wishes to see you."

When Liu Ruyan said this, she was somewhat afraid inside.

The other party was a Titled Douluo after all. Even if it was the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, Chen Ping'an could refuse to show him any respect.

"I'll go personally. As for these two, I'll leave them to you. Arrange things properly for them."

Chen Ping'an nodded, then left for the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

The chapter title was wrong and cannot be changed. This is Chapter 31.
