The Finals Draw Everyone's Attention
"We won't hold back, we'll go all out!" Wang Dong'er said.
The innocent girl had no idea what was going on.
"I'm really looking forward to it."
Gu Yunxiao smiled faintly, casually releasing Wang Dong'er's small face, while pondering how to deal with that Divine Sense in her Sea of Consciousness.
Although that wisp of Divine Sense was no longer conscious, it would still automatically protect its master when Wang Dong'er encountered life-or-death crises.
This wisp of Divine Sense is ultimately a hidden danger.
"I'll ask Na'er then; she'll definitely have a solution," Gu Yunxiao thought to himself.
"Shrek Academy Team wins the individual elimination round and advances to the finals!"
The semifinals have finally come to an end. In the individual matches between Shrek Academy Team and Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy Team, both sides demonstrated impressive strength.
The Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy Team fought with almost all their might, with Ma Rulong, Xiao Hongchen, and Meng Hongchen defeating all five members of the Shrek Team, but ultimately still lost.
Of course, Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi were hiding something, otherwise Ma Rulong and the other two would hardly have survived until they faced Soul Emperor Dai Yueheng.
As expected, the two Team that made it to the finals were the Dragon God Team and the Shrek Team.
Before the final match began, the entire Star Luo City was immersed in an extremely tense atmosphere, with betting odds on all major betting platforms going crazy.
Surprisingly, the odds of Shrek Team winning the championship are higher than those of Dragon God Team, which means that more people favor Dragon God Team.
The Star Luo Empire's officials didn't care much about this; they were only concerned with making money.
In just one month of hosting the competition, they earned hundreds of millions of Gold Soul Coin; it was incredibly lucrative.
Auctions account for a portion, but the larger portion is definitely from betting.
"It seems the Star Luo Empire's army will be much stronger in the next few years. These Gold Soul Coin are enough to arm us..." Xu Jiawei smiled broadly inside the palace.
"Brother, something terrible has happened!"
Suddenly, Xu Jiujiu rushed in, looking flustered.
"Jiujiu, what's the matter that you're so flustered? You should calm down." Xu Jiawei picked up his teacup and slowly sipped his tea.
"..."
After Xu Jiujiu silence, he finally said, "Brother, Gu Yunxiao just placed a bet of 100 million Gold Soul Coin on the Dragon God Team to win."
"Puff!"
Xu Jiawei spat out a mouthful of tea, his face devoid of any imperial authority, only filled with horror. "You... what did you say? One hundred million?"
"Um."
He nodded Xu Jiujiu.
"Where did he get so many Gold Soul Coin? Hasn't he already spent hundreds of millions?!" Xu Jiawei's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
He could have made a lot of money, but with Gu Yunxiao's investment of 100 million, he might end up losing tens of millions.
"This... I don't know either." Xu Jiujiu gave a wry smile and said helplessly, "It might be funds transferred from the Dragon God Hall."
Xu Jiawei: "..."
Damn, just how rich Dragon God Hall?
I'm spending hundreds of millions of Gold Soul Coin! It feels like I have more money than an entire empire's treasury!
He genuinely suspected that the Dragon God Hall was the largest supplier of Gold Soul Coin, the kind that could provide as many as one wanted.
"Brother, what should we do now?" Xu Jiujiu asked.
"Sigh." Xu Jiawei slumped in his chair, feigning nonchalance. "It's... it's nothing. A mere few tens of millions, just consider it pocket money from me."
"... Isn't this allowance too much?"
"It also includes your dowry, Jiujiu!"
"Huh?" Xu Jiujiu blushed and said in a barely audible voice, "Brother, what are you saying? I haven't even decided to marry yet..."
Seeing Xu Jiujiu's expression, Xu Jiawei suddenly felt that matchmaking his younger sister with Gu Yunxiao might not be entirely a good thing.
Xu Jiujiu's expression was clearly directed towards Gu Yunxiao... Sigh!
"What a tragedy!"
Xu Jiawei inwardly scoffed, but outwardly maintained a smile, "We'll be family sooner or later. A mere tens of millions, I'll give it to him. As long as it makes him pay more attention to you, it's all worth it."
"You need to step up your efforts and try to get married to Gu Yunxiao as soon as possible, preferably with several children, so you can secure your position..."
Xu Jiawei kept talking, Xu Jiujiu's pretty face grew redder and redder, but she didn't refute him, feeling a little longing in her heart.
In the land of love, everyone is obsessed with love—that's not an exaggeration at all.
The earth gradually awakens, and a ray of dawn breaks the silence of the night.
However, the sun only lasted a short while before disappearing back into the clouds, leaving the sky overcast with dense cloud cover and a strong wind blowing.
It even seems like it will rain soon.
Early in the morning, a large number of spectators had already gathered at Star Luo Plaza, the largest number since the start of the Soul Fighting Tournament.
At this moment, the two teams about to stage a showdown headed towards Star Luo Plaza, with many people along the way shouting their names.
"Dragon God! Dragon God! Dragon God!"
"Shrek! Shrek! Shrek!"
The cheers from the audience grew louder and louder, and the slightly gloomy weather did not dampen their ever-increasing enthusiasm.
The two teams met, exchanged glances, and then went to their respective rest areas to wait.
Meanwhile, Xu Jiawei, atop the city wall, had already led his civil and military officials to their positions, eagerly anticipating this final showdown.
Xu Jiujiu was also there, her gaze fixed on Gu Yunxiao, unable to look away.
In addition, a man in his thirties appeared on the city wall, dressed in golden armor, with a heroic and dignified appearance.
He exuded an aura of iron will, and standing beside Emperor Xu Jiawei, he resembled a stern and imposing general on the battlefield.
This person was none other than White Tiger Duke, Dai Hao!
"Father!"
In the Shrek Team's rest area, Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin both stood up when they saw Dai Hao on the city wall, their faces filled with admiration.
Dai Hao also saw the two of them.
He smiled and nodded at his two sons, a hint of pride on his face; these two sons were his pride.
Seeing Dai Hao's expression, Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin were extremely excited. They had secretly resolved to make a brilliant impression on their father and not to tarnish the reputation of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
"Your Majesty, is that Gu Yunxiao?" Dai Hao looked at a boy in the Dragon God Team's rest area and exclaimed, "This young man is extraordinary."
"My brother thinks so too."
Xu Jiawei smiled and said, "Gu Yunxiao Young Master of the Dragon God Hall. Not only is his talent astonishing, but he also possesses five Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring at the level of a level 66 Soul Emperor. Such a monster is someone I have never seen before in my life."
"It's a monster..."
Dai Hao nodded, admiring him while also feeling somewhat apprehensive.
He knew a little about the conflict between Gu Yunxiao and his two sons, and it was not a good thing.
Hopefully, the Dragon God Hall can be magnanimous and not hold a grudge against the White Tiger Duke's Mansion; otherwise... the Xu Family might not stand on the White Tiger Duke's Mansion's side.
After all, the Xu Family's power grab meant that the two families could only maintain a superficial relationship, while secretly they would continue to fight each other.
"Yes, even more monstrous than those monsters from Shrek." Xu Jiawei nodded with a smile, then casually mentioned, "Gu Yunxiao and Jiujiu have a good relationship; I wonder if they'll end up together."
