Xu Jiujiu's Directness, the Tournament Opens

"I don't know him."

He shook his head Xu Jiujiu.

Everyone: "???"

No, I don't know you, so why are you so concerned?

Xu Jiujiu realized what Xu Jiawei was thinking and immediately explained, "Brother, you misunderstood. I was just curious about him."

"When I went to the Great Soul Arena to watch the matches, he was very young and defeated a Soul Elder Team with just his fists and feet, without using his Martial Soul."

"I originally planned to talk to him after the match to see if I could try to win him over, but unexpectedly, he disappeared after the game."

It's a bit of a regret that I didn't get to befriend that boy back then.

Fortunately, he felt that with the boy's age and talent, he would definitely participate in the Soul Fighting Tournament, and might even become a reserve member of a certain Team.

She specifically asked those who registered to pay attention, and only ' Gu Yunxiao ' perfectly matched the characteristics she described.

"Oh, I see!" Xu Jiawei realized, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness, it's not about dating."

He doesn't object to Xu Jiujiu relationships, but he does object to relationships that are unclear or ambiguous.

Who is the other person? What is their background? What are their talents? Are they good to Jiujiu?

He needs to figure all of this out before he can feel at ease.

"It's Shrek! Shrek Academy!"

Suddenly, a cheer rang out, and all eyes turned to the contestants' area, where a highly anticipated team was located.

They were all wearing identical green uniforms, with a monster pattern embroidered on their chests, similar to Shrek.

As a regular champion in the Soul Fighting Tournament, the Shrek Team naturally stood in the front row, enjoying the glory of being the center of attention.

Behind them was the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy Team, a frequent runner-up in the Soul Fighting Tournament and a long-time rival of the Shrek Team.

Following them were familiar Team.

"Hey, what team is that?"

"There are so few people, only eight. Is it just a formality?"

"I know them. I heard they're from Dragon City in the Heavenly Soul Empire, representing the Dragon God Academy, but actually also the Dragon God Hall."

"Dragon God Hall! That super power that rose to prominence this year!"

"..."

The crowd buzzed with discussion, and upon hearing the name ' Dragon God Hall,' they all gasped in shock.

Some viewers who were unfamiliar with the Dragon God Hall gained some understanding of it through conversations with those around them, and their curiosity was piqued.

Viewers began to pay attention to this Dragon God Team.

"The Dragon God Hall, this force has recently gained considerable notoriety; it's rumored that Limit Douluo is in charge..."

On the city wall, Xu Jiawei narrowed his eyes, looking at the eight members of the Dragon God Team, his gaze finally settling on the only man among them.

The man was dressed in a simple black and white uniform. He had delicate features and a handsome face. Just by standing there, he exuded an indescribable aura.

Especially those purple eyes, which carried a sense of nobility and mystery that was not common to ordinary people.

"This must be Gu Yunxiao, the Young Master of the Dragon God Hall. I've heard he possesses Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and his strength is comparable to Titled Douluo... I wonder if that's true?"

Xu Jiawei also has connections at the Shrek Academy.

He had heard of Gu Yunxiao's deeds, but had not witnessed them himself, and always felt that they were somewhat exaggerated.

"Jiujiu, what do you think... um?" Xu Jiawei was about to ask Xu Jiujiu next to him when he realized that his younger sister was staring straight at the Dragon God Team.

To be precise, Xu Jiujiu was staring at Gu Yunxiao.

In an instant, Xu Jiawei thought of something.

"No way?"

Xu Jiawei was stunned for a moment, and a question immediately arose in his mind, "Could Gu Yunxiao be the boy that Xu has been looking for Xu Jiujiu?"

"Gu Yunxiao..."

She stared at the boy for Xu Jiujiu, a smile playing on her lips.

Her intuition told her that Gu Yunxiao was the boy she was looking for. He was very handsome and had a slight resemblance to the 'cute' girl from back then.

Moreover, Gu Yunxiao's eyes are almost identical to those of back then, only more mature.

"Jiujiu, is Gu Yunxiao that boy?" Xu Jiawei suddenly asked.

"Most likely," Xu Jiujiu nodded, smiling slightly, "His appearance and eyes are almost the same as they were back then, but he's matured a lot now."

"What if it's a brother or something?"

"Probably not. I've never seen a guy who can surpass him in looks."

"..."

Xu Jiawei's lips twitched; he suddenly felt a little annoyed.

Hearing his younger sister praise another boy as handsome, and even more so as to say that no one could compare to him, he felt somewhat unconvinced.

Back in the day, he wasn't bad either.

"The Young Master of the Dragon God Hall..." Xu Jiawei's gaze returned to Gu Yunxiao, a look of interest appearing on his face.

If that boy is Gu Yunxiao, then it's not impossible.

He was quite supportive of getting to know the other party Xu Jiujiu.

In the competition area, Gu Yunxiao noticed someone spying on him. He looked up and saw Xu Jiawei and Xu Jiujiu on the city wall looking in his direction.

In an instant, their eyes met.

Xu Jiawei nodded slightly, a gentle smile appearing on his lips, radiating goodwill.

Xu Jiujiu looked over with a smile.

"They must know about the Dragon God Hall."

Gu Yunxiao thought for a moment, then nodded slightly to the two of them, gave them a brief greeting, and then looked away, standing quietly.

The opening ceremony will continue for a little while longer; we'll just have to wait patiently.

Is it him?

Located in the second row, Meng Hongchen, from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy Team, frequently turned around, as if searching for a certain figure.

When she left the Hotel, there were many people around. She inadvertently caught sight of an incredibly familiar face, whose eyes were exactly the same as they had been back then.

"Quiet!"

At that moment, a loud voice resounded throughout the entire venue.

All the soldiers immediately stood at attention, raising their spears high. The chilling aura spread throughout the area, and the once noisy Star Luo Plaza fell silent.

"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!"

"Whoosh--"

Hundreds of thousands of people quickly knelt down, creating a rather exaggerated scene.

The soldiers knelt on one knee, their expressions respectful.

All participating Team do not need to do this; simply remain silent.

"All of you, rise!"

Xu Jiawei led his civil and military officials to the very front of the city wall, and his voice Amplifying Soul Tool, resounded throughout the entire area.

"The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament is a grand event held every five years on the Douluo Continent, and this year it's the Star Luo Empire's turn to host it."

"I am very pleased. On behalf of the Star Luo Empire, I welcome the representatives of Soul Grandmaster academies, led by the Shrek Academy. I hope you will demonstrate your true prowess in the competition over the next month."

Xu Jiawei's voice was gentle, yet authoritative.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The team leaders and students from 133 colleges bowed to Xu Jiawei.

Xu Jiawei smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.

Without further ado, he announced, "I hereby declare the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament officially open!"

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

"Boom boom boom..."

As cheers erupted from the crowd, a series of 108 cannon salutes were fired into the sky.
