First Meeting, Silver Dragon King

Song Que turned around and looked at the Just Sky Academy students who had rushed out, and smiled gently.

"Don't worry, everyone, I'm fine. You all go back to the preparation area and wait for me."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and retreated one after another.

On the other side, in the Shrek Academy's preparation area, there was complete silence.

After a series of defeats, coupled with Dai Yueheng, the team members were thrown into disarray and unsure of how to react.

Sitting in the back row, Dai Huabin had a somber expression, his right hand gripping the armrest tightly, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.

Although he and Dai Yueheng had always been rivals within the family and didn't get along well, seeing his own brother in such a state on the arena still stirred up a surge of anger within him.

"Song Que... Huo Yuhao... I'll kill you all sooner or later..."

At this moment, the Referee's voice rang out again.

"Shrek Academy has committed multiple violations, even resorting to a prohibited Fixed-Installation Soul Guidance Cannon for a sneak attack on the field. The nature of this offense is egregious. Shrek Academy is hereby declared the loser of this individual match."

"Just Sky Academy has won this match."

As soon as he finished speaking, applause erupted throughout the hall.

Discussions and jeers rose and fell; many people felt dissatisfied and disgusted with the Shrek Academy's actions.

"Well done! Shrek Academy has really gone too far."

"Exactly! Shrek Academy has been so disappointing this year. They've been pulling dirty tricks since the preliminary rounds."

"Shrek Academy has always been shameless like this, there's nothing surprising about it."

Yan Shaozhe's face turned ashen as he listened to the boos from the crowd.

He glared hatefully at Song Que, then ignored Dai Yueheng's corpse on the ground and turned to leave.

Song Que watched his retreating figure, sneered, and turned to leave as well.

He had only taken two steps when his legs gave way and he nearly fell to the ground.

Snow Empress, who was standing nearby, quickly stepped forward and half-embraced him, saying, "Let me help you back."

Song Que looked up at her blankly for a moment, then nodded.

Snow Empress smiled slightly and gently helped him slowly leave the arena.

Within the VIP area, Tai Tan remained seated, motionless.

His gaze was fixed on Snow Empress and Song Que below the stage, as if he were pondering something.

He only slowly withdrew his gaze after the two had returned to the preparation area.

"He said before that Huo Yuhao is the chosen one of the Douluo Continent, while Song Que is the variable..."

"What exactly does 'variable' mean...?"

"Soul Beast... Soul Spirit..."

"What exactly is this Soul Spirit?"

The controversy surrounding the competition had just subsided, but in another residence within Star Luo City, the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

"Sis, are you alright?"

The man looked worried as he saw the Duchess slumped in her chair.

After a while, the Duchess finally came to her senses and waved her hand.

"It's alright, it's alright..."

"It's all my fault. If I had nipped the problem in the bud back then, none of this would have happened..."

"Cough cough cough..."

The Duchess coughed violently, her face turning deathly pale.

The man quickly stepped forward, supported her shoulders, and gently patted her back.

The man sighed and comforted her, "Sister, don't blame yourself too much, it's not your fault."

"Although Yueheng is gone, you still have Huabin."

The Duchess stared at him blankly, her eyes empty and lifeless.

"Yes... and Huabin too..."

"At least I want to resolve his worries before I die."

"We must also Yueheng."

"Now that things have come to this, please try to contact them for me."

The man frowned slightly and hurriedly said, "Sister... this matter can be handled by the family."

Don't act impulsively.

The Duchess shook her head. "I understand. But even if the family intervenes, we can only wait for an opportunity."

"If Huo Yuhao and the others stay close to the Body Sect members, we won't have a chance to make a move."

"I can't wait that long."

The man frowned. "But those people..."

The Duchess waved her hand. "Yueheng, everyone will be watching us, and it's not appropriate for the family to intervene lightly."

The man remained silent; he understood his sister's thoughts.

The Duchess sighed, "I have no other choice now..."

Today's competition has come to a close.

Back in the hotel conference room, the students from the Just Sky Academy sat together, all asking questions about the Soul Spirit.

"This is Yuhao's Soul Spirit! What an adorable little fox!" Tang Ya looked at the three-eyed fox squatting at Huo Yuhao's feet, licking its fur, and couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

"Yeah, Yuhao, you just got a third Soul Ring that lasts for ten thousand years. You two brothers are really going to slack off." Wang Dong said, pursing his lips.

"It's all my second father's fault. If I had waited just one more day until you came back, maybe I could have obtained Soul Spirit too."

Huo Yuhao laughed and said, "Don't worry, Wang Dong, there will be plenty of opportunities later."

Song Que nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely take care of you first when it comes to matters concerning the Soul Spirit."

"But we'll have to wait until you level up before we can talk about it."

Xu Sanshi laughed and said, "Don't worry, Song Que, it'll only take a few months at most. I'm sure I can do it."

Song Que gave him a disdainful look and said speechlessly, "Get lost!"

Song Que continued, "However, if you wish to fuse with the Soul Spirit, you can cultivate for a longer period of time after reaching the bottleneck."

"Maximize your physical strength and Divine Power as much as possible. This will increase the success rate of merging with Soul Spirit and allow you to accept more powerful Soul Spirit."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Bei Bei suddenly spoke up and asked, "Song Que, your Soul Spirit..."

Song Que laughed and said, "You can forget about the Snow Empress. If it weren't for a stroke of luck, I probably would have burst from overeating."

Xu Sanshi chuckled, "Great, I want a beautiful female Soul Spirit too."

"However, fusing with Soul Spirit requires the Soul Beast to be willing, which seems quite difficult."

Song Que nodded and continued, "We've already made initial contact with the Ferocious Beast of the Star Dou Forest. We can take you there to try them out later."

"Moreover, Yuhao's teacher is conducting research, and perhaps in the future, they will only need to extract the blood of Soul Beast to complete Soul Spirit fusion."

"At that time, perhaps we can establish an organization that specializes in Soul Spirit fusion services."

"..."

The scene shifts to the depths of the Core Area Star Dou Forest.

Inside a special space at the bottom of the Lake of Life.

A giant, silver-white dragon gazed solemnly into the void and slowly spoke:

"So that's how it is, Soul Spirit..."

"That's actually quite interesting..."

"Di Tian, you don't need to wait for me on this matter. You can make the decision yourself. As things stand, it's a good thing."

With a flick of its eyes, the silver-white dragon looked again at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion beside it, scrutinizing it closely.

"As for Auspicious Beast... if one observes them carefully with one's divine sense, one can indeed detect some unfamiliar fluctuations."

"Only..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Silver Dragon King frowned, looked behind Di Tian, and said, "It seems there are other guests who have followed us."

"As expected of the half-dragon of the Dragon God, it's a pleasure to meet you, Lord Silver Dragon King."

As the voice faded, a hand appeared out of thin air.

The hand gently pulled to the side, as if tearing open an invisible curtain.

The veil of Kyokkō spiritual pressure surrounding them was forcibly torn open, and a figure slowly emerged from the void.

Sōsuke Aizen stood there, dressed in white, his expression calm. A faint ripple of spiritual pressure rippled around him as he appeared.

Di Tian's pupils contracted, and he stared at the person in front of him with a solemn expression.

"How is that possible!"

The Silver Dragon King looked at the newcomer with a solemn expression and asked in a deep voice, "Who exactly are you?"
