Mingdu's Grand Celebration!
Star Luo City, Star Emperor Hotel.
As the number one Soul Master Academy on the continent, Shrek Academy has won almost every major competition in the past ten thousand years. Coupled with its terrifying influence, its treatment is naturally the best.
Each participating team member not only has a private bedroom, but also a dedicated team meeting room.
However, the atmosphere in the meeting room was extremely oppressive at this moment. Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent. The selected team members were even pale as paper, obviously suffering from considerable injuries.
The team leader, Elder Xuan Zi, sat to the side with a guilty look on his face, unusually not eating a chicken leg.
Under the wise and mighty leadership of the Holy Spirit Cult's Supreme Elder, the Shrek Devils also experienced the thrill of a series of Corpse Explosion.
Fortunately, thanks to Xiang Jun's advance warning, the injuries of the main team members were much better than in the original story, thanks to Huo Yuxi's scouting with undead creatures. At least Yao Haoxuan wasn't completely destroyed.
Even so, Ling Luochеn suffered the least severe injuries, will need half a month to fully recover.
"What are your thoughts on the upcoming opening match?"
Team leader Wang Yan forced a smile, his voice a little hoarse, but he still tried to comfort the dejected group, "Why are you all looking down? Shouldn't you feel honored to participate in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament, which is held every five years?"
"Don't feel pressured, although... well, there were a few minor unexpected events along the way."
At this point, Wang Yan glanced at his teacher subconsciously, then continued to comfort him, "It's just the opening match. Not all academies are as strong as ours. Most of the participants are only at the Soul Ancestor cultivation."
"If we can get through the opening match, we'll have some downtime. By then, Ling Luochеn's injuries will be almost fully recovered. And don't forget, we still have three team members on their way back."
Three team members?
Mentioning the three team members brought a renewed sparkle to everyone's eyes.
That's right. With Xiang Jun and the others' terrifying strength, as long as they can hold out until the three of them return safely, the championship will be a piece of cake, won't it?
In the Sun Moon Empire, Mingdu, five years have passed since the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy won the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament.
Today marks the triumphant return of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy.
At this Mingdu, the capital city was deserted as the entire empire's people gathered at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, eager to witness the genius brother and sister who washed away the Sun Moon Empire's millennia-long shame and ultimately led their team to win two All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament.
Just as the crowd waited anxiously, two white-haired figures gradually appeared above the stands.
As the two appeared, the crowd below erupted in a deafening cheer. The waves of cheers rose and fell, and the entire academy was immersed in an atmosphere of excitement.
Such a lively scene caused the white-haired man's lips to unconsciously curl upwards, but he still forced himself to maintain a cool and aloof demeanor, and under everyone's expectant gaze, he slowly raised the two trophies in his hands to the sky.
This move excited the crowd even more, with many people even letting out hysterical screams.
"Ahhh! Brother Hongchen, I want to have your babies!"
"Smile, Mom loves you!"
"Xiao Hongchen, I shall call you the number one genius of the Sun Moon Empire!"
Indeed, the two white-haired figures on the stage are Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen, direct descendants of the Hongchen Family of the Sun Moon Empire!
Just five years ago, the Hongchen siblings, as substitute players, defeated strong opponents in that tournament and finally defeated their arch-rival Shrek Academy in the finals, lifting the supreme championship trophy.
Five years later, the two defeated Shrek Academy again in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament held in the Sun Moon Empire, achieving an unprecedented two-peat!
The screams from the audience made Xiao Hongchen's expression even more intoxicated, and he gripped the trophy even tighter.
Xiao Hongchen: I have two championship trophies!
The audience was ecstatic!
Just as Xiao Hongchen was enjoying this feeling, a shy voice suddenly rang out.
Turning his head, he saw his younger sister Meng Hongchen, gazing at him with eyes full of adoration.
"Brother, you're amazing! You defeated Shrek Academy twice in a row! You're the most handsome, invincible, and talented older brother on the entire continent!"
"It's just a little hardship." Xiao Hongchen faintly, but in reality, he was already secretly delighted.
My sister's current appearance is really...
So cute!
As Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen stood in the center of the stands, holding two trophies and celebrating with everyone, who could have imagined that all of this was thanks to a self-proclaimed Evil Soul Master who called himself the Death Messenger?
If it weren't for his series of Corpse Explosion back then, perhaps the Sun Moon Empire wouldn't have achieved this unprecedented two-peat!
However, at that moment, something unexpected suddenly happened!
Suddenly, a thick layer of dark clouds enveloped the sky above Mingdu, accompanied by rolling thunder and flashes of lightning.
Immediately afterwards, a Golden Trident a thousand meters long descended from the sky, piercing straight down towards Mingdu!
The sudden strange phenomenon terrified everyone, and they scattered and fled.
"Brother, I'm so scared!" Meng Hongchen was terrified by the scene and huddled tightly behind Xiao Hongchen.
"It's alright, Meng. With your brother here, no one can hurt you unless they step over my dead body!" Looking at the fleeing crowd around him, Xiao Hongchen's face darkened, and his gaze then turned to the sky.
Under the astonished gazes of the brother and sister, a tall, blue-haired figure slowly appeared. The Trident pattern between his brows shimmered with golden light, but his face appeared somewhat hazy, making it difficult to see clearly.
"Who are you?" Xiao Hongchen asked solemnly, as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Hehehe~" The newcomer didn't speak, but only let out bursts of strange laughter.
"Hmph, you charlatan, don't think I can't do anything to you just because of this!" Xiao Hongchen sneered, his six perfectly matched Spirit Ring flashing behind him.
"Go, brother! You're the best!" Seeing her brother rushing straight towards the mysterious man, Meng Hongchen immediately raised her fist to cheer him on.
"Welcome my Lion's Fang!"
In the blink of an eye, six Soul Cannon silently formed, their dark muzzles immediately aimed at the mysterious figure in the distance.
However, the mysterious figure vanished instantly in the next second, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Xiao Hongchen.
Caw! So fast!
The mysterious man raised his palm and then slammed it heavily into Xiao Hongchen's chest. The seemingly light blow sent the latter flying backward instantly.
At the same time, the Golden Trident in the sky crashed to the ground, and the once prosperous Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy was reduced to ruins in the blink of an eye.
