The Continental Elite Soul Master Academy Exchange Tournament Begins / Meeting Qian Renxue

In the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed.

The time has finally come for the continent-wide Soul Master Academy to begin.

In the days leading up to the start of the tournament, the entire Heaven Dou Imperial City became bustling with activity. Countless nobles, wealthy merchants, and numerous Soul Master from all over the Heaven Dou Empire flocked to the Heaven Dou Imperial City.

This caused the entire Heaven Dou Imperial City to become overcrowded.

On the day of the All Continent Spirit Master Academy Elite Competition, it was even necessary to deploy the city's defense forces to help maintain order within the city in order to ensure the smooth running of the tournament.

On this day, Bai Ye got up early and, together with Liu Erlong, Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and Qin Ming, led the Shrek Team to the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena, where the All Continent Spirit Master Academy Elite Competition was being held.

On this day, the streets were bustling with people; you could say there were people everywhere!

On some elevated platforms beside the street, many beautifully dressed young girls stood on them, their faces filled with joy and excitement, watching the Soul Master teams passing by on their way to participate in the All Continent Spirit Master Academy Elite Competition.

Soul Master were originally a privileged class in the Douluo Continent.

Those Soul Master who can participate in the All Continent Spirit Master Academy Elite Competition can be considered the best among young Soul Master, with unlimited potential for the future!

Not only in the Heaven Dou Imperial City, but also some ordinary commoner girls hope to have an encounter with these outstanding young Soul Master, preferably fall in love, and then rise to prominence like a phoenix.

Even nobles often brought along their most beautiful daughters, hoping to recruit an outstanding Soul Master as their son-in-law.

Since Martial Soul are passed down through bloodlines, if one is incredibly lucky and a talented young Soul Master is attracted to their daughter, it could potentially transform their family from an ordinary noble family into Soul Master noble family!

It's incredibly profitable!

Unfortunately, although almost all the Soul Master teams that went to participate in the All Continent Spirit Master Academy Elite Competition today received incredibly enthusiastic attention.

However, the most popular and attention-grabbing teams are the Soul Master teams from the Five Elements Academies: the Kamikaze Team, the Blazing Fire Team, the Thunder Team, the Elephant Armor Team, and the Skywater Team.

Don't even mention why there's Skywater Team. Just as there are beautiful young girls who hope to rise to the top and become phoenixes, there are also young boys who hope to hook up with rich and beautiful girls and live off their sweet and delicious meals!

Shrek Academy, having changed its name from the Blue Tyrant Academy, even changed the uniforms of the Soul Master teams participating in the competition.

Although, thanks to Bai Ye's intervention, Shrek Academy's team uniforms were not made into the ugly, shit-green uniforms depicted in the novel.

However, since Shrek Academy was newly established, not many people knew that Shrek Academy predecessor was Blue Tyrant Academy. Therefore, Shrek Academy did not receive much attention along the way.

However, Shrek Academy did not attract much attention.

However, along the way, Bai Ye attracted the attention of many beautiful young women and noble ladies.

Some beautiful young women and noble ladies with more outgoing and direct personalities boldly expressed their love, such as throwing flower garlands and embroidered balls at Bai Ye; there were simply too many of these instances.

Although Bai Ye wasn't well-known in the Heaven Dou Imperial City, his looks and demeanor clearly indicated that he was no ordinary person.

Since Bai Ye was able to participate in the All Continent Spirit Master Academy Elite Competition, his identity was clearly not in question, so he naturally became the focus of attention.

But seeing that Bai Ye was welcomed by many beautiful girls and noble ladies along the way, not only Ma Hongjun, but even Oscar was a little depressed.

The two of them had been looking forward to this day for a long time, but Bai Ye stole the spotlight along the way, and no girl noticed the two of them standing next to Bai Ye.

This was so unacceptable to the two of them that they could only secretly make up their minds.

Once the All Continent Spirit Master Academy Elite Competition officially begins, they must make a big splash in the competition and get these girls' attention!

After arriving at the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena.

Bai Ye and Liu Erlong waited in the rest area with the Shrek Team members, while Flender went to register the Shrek Team with Qin Ming, Yu Xiaogang, and Zhao Wuji.

Because of Bai Ye's influence, Dai Mubai had his leg broken, his cultivation abolished, and was expelled from the Shrek Academy. Therefore, the Shrek members did not have a conflict with the Canghui Team when they went to the Star Dou Great Forest.

So nothing happened while we were waiting in the rest area.

Soon, Flender and the others returned.

Soon after, staff members arrived at the rest area and led the teams from the Soul Master Academy into the main Soul Fighting Arena for Emperor Xue Ye to review.

Because Shrek Academy was a relatively new academy, they were the last ones to be led into the main Soul Fighting Arena by the staff.

Standing on the suspended corridor outside the lounge between the audience Soul Fighting Arena, Bai Ye looked towards the main Soul Fighting Arena.

It is clear that the original main Soul Fighting Arena in the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena has already been completely remodeled.

The main Soul Fighting, which was originally in the center, has now been sunk below the floor, turning the main Soul Fighting Arena into a wide plaza.

Because today is the opening ceremony of the competition, this spacious square has been specially prepared for all participating teams to enter and line up.

Directly in front of the square is a high platform with a golden background; this is the rostrum.

This is where Emperor Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi (Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect), and Salas (Platinum Bishop representing the Spirit Hall) sit.

Behind them was the VIP section, where representatives of the Soul Grandmaster families of the Heaven Dou Imperial City, as well as generals, ministers, and high-ranking figures like the Heaven Dou Three Education Committee of the Heaven Dou Empire were seated.

In addition, members of the royal family, such as Prince Xue Xing and the fourth prince Xue Beng, were also seated in the VIP section.

With the Shrek Team Shrek Team entering the arena and taking their positions, the opening ceremony of the All Continent Spirit Master Academy Elite Competition officially began!

Under the dazzling Soul Guidance Lamp at the top of the main Soul Fighting Arena, the host, responsible for presiding over this opening ceremony, gave a clear and resonant introduction.

After the opening ceremony began, the first item on the agenda was, of course, the speech by Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire, which was basically a series of words of encouragement and inspiration.

Afterwards, the host asked Ning Fengzhi which team he favored on the field.

Because Ning Fengzhi had visited Ning Rongrong at the Shrek Academy when he attended the auction at the Heaven Dou Auction House, he was aware of the strength of the Shrek Team.

Although the Shrek Team's strength appears to have decreased considerably compared to the original story because Bai Ye didn't give Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Ning Rongrong any immortal items.

However, with Soul Ancestor level members Qing Lin, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Meng Yiran, they can still easily defeat the other Five Elements teams, which at most only have two Soul Ancestor, and qualify for the preliminary rounds.

Therefore, Ning Fengzhi naturally smiled without explicitly stating his optimism about the Shrek Academy.

However, while expressing optimism for the Imperial Fighting Team, he also indicated his confidence in another Soul Master Team that has the potential to achieve remarkable results in the All Continent Spirit Master Academy Elite Competition.

After the host invited Ning Fengzhi to speak, the next step was to invite Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Martial Soul Temple of the Heaven Dou Imperial City, representing the Spirit Hall, to draw lots for the exhibition match at the opening ceremony.

Choose one Soul Master team to play an exhibition match against the Heaven Dou Second Team.

Perhaps due to sheer luck, Salas was drawn against the Shrek Team in the draw.

However, Qing Lin, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing didn't even need to lift a finger to deal with the second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Meng Yiran, leading the Shrek Team team, including Tai Long, Jing Ling, and Huang Yuan, easily defeated the Heaven Dou Second Team!

When the Shrek Team easily defeated the arrogant Heaven Dou Second Team, the Heaven Dou Three Education Committee, who was in the VIP seat, was naturally furious.

Originally, their Heaven Dou Royal Academy could have had the Shrek Team as the Heaven Dou Second Team, but because of Prince Xue Xing, what should have been a moment of glory today was gone, and they became a laughing stock instead!

The Shrek Team on the field didn't even send out all their previous members, yet they easily defeated the Heaven Dou Second Team. It's easy to imagine that the strongest Shrek Team must be even stronger!

Unfortunately, despite the fact that the Heaven Dou Three Education Committee complained about Prince Xue Xing to Xue Ye, the Shrek Team's current strength was not particularly impressive.

Therefore, Xue Ye only verbally reprimanded Prince Xue Xing, but did not punish him further, let alone restrain him.

This left the Heaven Dou Three Education Committee feeling helpless and saddened.

Chapter 146 Meeting Qian Renxue

After the preliminary rounds ended, Bai Ye and the Shrek Academy students prepared to leave the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena.

But outside the Great Soul Arena, two figures were already waiting.

One of them was a middle-aged man wearing a silver-blue robe and a crown, with a tall and slender figure and a handsome and refined face; the other was a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue robe, with long, snow-white hair and a cold and stern face.

Having seen them before, Bai Ye immediately recognized them as Ning Rongrong's father Ning Fengzhi, and Sword Douluo Chen Xin of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Sect Master Ning, Senior Sword Douluo!"

Upon seeing Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo walking towards them, Bai Ye and the others couldn't help but greet them politely.

At the same time, Ning Rongrong shouted "Daddy!" with great joy, and then rushed into Ning Fengzhi's arms.

"Is Sect Master Ning here to see Rongrong?"

Flender smiled and said something in response to the arrival of Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo.

"Hehe, that's not entirely true. Besides seeing Rongrong, someone asked me to pass on a message that they want to meet with Teacher Bai Ye. I wonder if Teacher Bai Ye would be willing to come with me?"

Ning Fengzhi looked at Bai Ye and asked with a smile,

"Someone wants to see me?"

Bai Ye was stunned.

However, there aren't many people who can be entrusted with delivering messages by Ning Fengzhi. Bai Ye quickly thought of the most likely person: Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.

It's highly likely that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe Ning Fengzhi to convey his wish to meet him.

After all, he hadn't hidden his identity. Once Crown Prince Xue Qinghe knew him, a little investigation would have revealed that he was the rising star of the Spirit Hall, making a meeting with him perfectly normal.

In the past, Bai Ye would definitely have assumed that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, or rather Qian Renxue, wanted to see him in order to win him over.

Because there are two major factions within the Spirit Hall: one is the Pope faction, headed by Pope Bibi Dong, and the other is the Elder faction, headed by the Great Enshrined, or rather, the previous Pope Qian Daoliu.

Qian Renxue belongs to the elders' faction, so it's only natural that they would try to win her over once they know about her!

But now, having obtained the Moonlight Treasure Box, Bai Ye feels that the seemingly unchanged plot may have actually been altered in many subtle ways, and he doesn't know if Qian Renxue is still the same Qian Renxue from the original story.

Feeling somewhat curious, Bai Ye readily agreed to Ning Fengzhi in for Qian Renxue. After parting ways with the Shrek members, he left with Ning Fengzhi.

Finally, the three of them arrived at a teahouse with understated and elegant decor.

After entering the teahouse, Bai Ye followed Ning Fengzhi and finally arrived at a private room.

Looking into the private room from the doorway, one could see a young man dressed in a gorgeous gold and red suit, with short blond hair and a handsome, androgynous face, sitting quietly inside, waiting.

Upon discovering that Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo had brought an unfamiliar young man, Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, couldn't help but reveal a delighted smile and respectfully addressed Ning Fengzhi.

"Teacher, you've arrived. Is this Young Master Bai Ye?"

As she spoke, Qian Renxue couldn't help but look at Bai Ye.

"Yes, this is Professor Bai Ye. You can discuss your matters here; I won't disturb you any longer."

Ning Fengzhi nodded, then smiled slightly, and prepared to leave so as not to disturb Qian Renxue and Bai Ye's conversation.

"Teacher..."

Upon hearing that Ning Fengzhi wanted to leave, Qian Renxue tried to persuade him to stay, but in the end, she was unable to. Ning Fengzhi matters that needed to be handled within the sect.

In the end, only Bai Ye and Qian Renxue remained in the private room.

"I wonder what business Your Crown Prince has with me?"

Looking at Qian Renxue, Bai Ye couldn't help but feign confusion, asking with a frown.

"Hey! The reason I asked the teacher to summon you, Young Master Bai Ye, was actually to apologize to the Shrek Academy on behalf of my good-for-nothing brother, Xue Beng."

As Xue Qinghe gracefully poured Bai Ye a cup of hot tea, she sighed and apologized to Bai Ye.

"Hehe, there's no need for that, Crown Prince Highness. Rest assured, we will not harbor resentment towards the entire Heaven Dou Empire because of Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing."

Bai Ye smiled faintly.

While it was said that he wouldn't harbor resentment towards the entire Heaven Dou Empire because of Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing, there was no doubt that he still hated Xue Beng and Prince Xuexing.

However, Qian Renxue did not intend to continue asking Bai Ye for forgiveness. Instead, with a gentle smile, she suddenly changed the subject and began to inquire about Bai Ye.

"I heard that Young Master Bai Ye is from the Bai Ye Spirit Hall. With his excellence, he should be continuing his studies there. Why is he teaching at the Spirit Hall Shrek Academy?"

"I originally wanted to go out and gain some experience, but by chance I ended up at the Shrek Academy. I suddenly wanted to be a teacher, so I gave it a try, and that's how it happened."

Bai Ye smiled faintly and said casually.

"So that's how it is..."

Qian Renxue smiled as well.

During their conversation, Qian Renxue inquired about Bai Ye's activities at the Spirit Hall, but she did not reveal her own identity, nor did she directly or indirectly try to win Bai Ye over.

This Bai Ye completely baffled. He couldn't figure out what Qian Renxue's attitude towards him was, or whether she had ever interacted with his future self.

However, the expression that is not expressed is the greatest expression!

Since Qian Renxue knew his identity, even though she didn't directly try to win him over because she didn't want to expose her identity, she didn't even try to find out his stance or inclination within the Spirit Hall.

Bai Ye sensed that Qian Renxue, like Liu Erlong, had changed from the original character because he obtained the Moonlight Treasure Box.

However, the Qian Renxue in front of him had been an undercover agent in the Heaven Dou Empire for at least a decade, posing as Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, and her acting skills were superb.

Therefore, if you don't want to reveal your identity, you won't be exposed in front of him at all!

Finally, after talking with Qian Renxue for a while, Bai Ye prepared to take his leave.

After escorting Bai Ye to the teahouse and watching Bai Ye figure disappear at the end of the street, a trace of longing flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes.
