" Xiao Ganggang, you're pushing yourself too hard! You've coughed up blood several times already!"
While looking at the intelligence her beloved was reading, Bibi Dong tenderly massaged his shoulders, like a maidservant serving her master.
Seeing that her beloved man had vomited blood several times during the qualifying rounds, Bibi Dong was truly heartbroken.
However, she was also very happy. Looking at the team trained by her lover, their strength was pitifully weak. They even had to rely on exploiting loopholes in the competition rules to win.
She also heard from Salas's side that it seemed the aristocratic families and sects were secretly collecting a large number of high-quality Soul Bone for the Shrek Team in preparation for the final competition.
Look, look, they all have to rely on external things to cheat.
Clearly, the teachings given by her beloved's own side were not taken seriously at all, and were worlds apart from those given to her; they were completely perfunctory.
It seems that her beloved still truly cares about her!
Of course, her beloved's ideals and aspirations also played a significant role.
Those dregs from aristocratic families, clans, and imperial nobles are destined to be eliminated from the future envisioned by their beloved, so there's no need to painstakingly cultivate them.
It's just a formality; we can use it as a pretext to extract the inheritance of those powerful forces.
"He won't die!"
Wang Hao, using the pseudonym Yu Xiaogang, casually remarked, not taking it to heart at all.
Although he hadn't contacted Yu Xiaogang's AI software during this time, he could still vaguely sense that Yu Xiaogang was still alive and well.
Indeed, under his covert influence, Yu Xiaogang was no longer the weakling he was in the original trajectory of fate, but a true Spirit Emperor.
Even if he vomits a few mouthfuls of blood, or loses most of his blood, he won't die.
Although Soul Master in Douluo are like ninjas in the Naruto World —high attack, low defense, and fragile— Soul Master are slightly stronger in terms of physique.
Furthermore, Yu Xiaogang is, after all, a Beast Martial Soul possessor. Although he mutated into a summoner, it still provides a significant boost to his physical body.
So spitting out a little blood is not only harmless, but will actually make him healthier, since Yu Xiaogang's figure has become somewhat out of shape and overweight over the years thanks to Liu Erlong's care.
" Xiao Ganggang, that woman Tang Yuehua has been in Spirit City for over two months now, aren't you going to go see her?"
With a turn, Bibi Dong sat in her lover's arms and said meaningfully.
These words startled Wang Hao, who was browsing other intelligence reports. He asked in surprise, "Why would I go see her?"
Wang Hao was genuinely taken aback by Bibi Dong's question. He instinctively tried to recall the information he had about Yu Xiaogang, only to discover that Yu Xiaogang didn't seem to be very familiar with Tang Yuehua.
As for him, he wasn't familiar with Tang Yuehua and had never had any interaction with her.
Therefore, he didn't understand why Bibi Dong would say that.
Wang Hao was unaware that he had confused Tang San's mother during his academic exchange at the Shrek Academy, mistakenly believing that Tang San's mother was Ah Yin, that spendthrift woman, just like in the original story.
In fact, Tang San's mother is Tang Yuehua, and Wang Hao has been too lazy to pay attention to the affairs of Tang Hao's family over the years, so he was unaware of this matter, which led to this misunderstanding.
His performance at the Shrek Academy last time led Tang Hao and the others to mistakenly believe that he, disguised as Grandmaster, had a relationship with Tang Yuehua. Therefore, Tang Yuehua came to Spirit City this time to find an opportunity to get in touch with him.
First, let's see if we can find out his true identity; second, let's see if we can appeal to his emotions and extract some information.
Unfortunately, it was essentially a big misunderstanding. Wang Hao had no interest in meeting a complete stranger with whom he had little interaction, so he left Tang Yuehua hanging in Spirit City for more than two months.
"Let's just not see her then. It'll be better this way so that the woman doesn't notice anything!"
Seeing her beloved's reaction, Bibi Dong was extremely satisfied.
As expected, her beloved man and that woman were completely innocent and had no relationship whatsoever. Now she could finally put her mind at ease.
"Huh? This Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Heaven Dou Empire is performing quite well, showing the qualities of a wise ruler. He has even gained the full support of Xue Ye."
Suddenly, Wang Hao's gaze stopped on a piece of intelligence, which was about Xue Qinghe.
Judging from the intelligence, Xue Qinghe's performance was really good. He suppressed the other princes with his powerful presence, making it difficult for them to stand out, and thus gained the appreciation of Xue Ye.
According to top-secret intelligence, Xue Qinghe even had the power to mobilize the offerings of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, clearly indicating that he was absolutely trusted by Xue Ye.
Wang Hao was quite emotional about this. In the original timeline of fate, the crown prince was actually impersonated by Qian Renxue. To be honest, Qian Renxue's methods were rather despicable.
Although such methods are commonplace in imperial families, and it's considered good if they don't directly send people to assassinate someone, they are still considered low-class.
However, this Crown Prince Xue Qinghe is much more upright and honest. Judging from his actions, he is dignified and generous. Whether it is strength, magnanimity, or skill, he is first-rate.
If his future didn't preclude the existence of an empire, Xue Qinghe would likely have been able to accomplish something truly remarkable, such as unifying the Douluo Continent.
Unfortunately, Wang Hao was unaware that Qian Renxue had already appeared and was conceived using Bibi Dong's body, making her Bibi Dong's daughter.
And just like in the original destiny trajectory, he infiltrated the Heaven Dou Empire, knocked out the original Xue Qinghe, hid him, and then impersonated Xue Qinghe to do espionage.
However, unlike her original destiny, Qian Renxue in this life has been imitating Bibi Dong and has even read the same books and learned the same things as Bibi Dong, so her temperament is naturally very different.
Wang Hao's sigh made Bibi Dong, who was in his arms, stiffen. After all, she knew that the Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Heaven Dou Empire was actually her own daughter in disguise.
Moreover, it seems that his own daughter will personally lead fifteen teams from the Heaven Dou Empire to Spirit City to participate in the finals of the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament.
That means his daughter will be coming to Spirit City soon!
"No, we absolutely cannot let my lover see Xue'er face to face."
A moment of panic Bibi Dong she quickly regained her composure and made up her mind to prevent her beloved from meeting Qian Renxue.
When Xue'er is out in public, she can perfectly impersonate Xue Qinghe without revealing any flaws. However, if she comes to meet him in private, she will inevitably expose some things, which would arouse her beloved's suspicion.
She must never let her lover know that she is no longer pure, and that she even has a daughter!
Otherwise, she might really lose her lover!
Wang Hao was unaware of the thoughts of the woman in his arms. After reading Xue Qinghe's intelligence report, he casually tossed it aside and moved on to the next report.
This intelligence will be very useful for his future plans, since even the most perfect plan needs to be adjusted to some extent according to the actual situation.
"Really!"
In the newly built third competition venue of the Heaven Dou Empire, Little Nine and the others watched Yu Xinming fighting against Feng Xiaotian, the captain of the Godwind Academy. Especially after seeing Yu Xinming's fifth black Soul Ring, they all confirmed their previous guesses.
Tang San was indeed driven to desperation. He took out the remaining celestial-grade medicine and gave it to the four reserve team members, raising their cultivation to the Soul King level and quickly obtaining their fifth Soul Ring, thus becoming Soul King level powerhouses.
However, it would be impossible for Yu Xinming to recover so quickly with just celestial medicine; the help of Ye Ying wife must have been also involved.
It's likely that Ye Ying wife are now in grave danger.
Little Nine and the others were furious when they realized this, but the most furious of them all was a young man who had lost both arms.
This person was Ye Ren, the child of Ye Ying wife, who was rescued from the clutches of powerful families and sects by experts sent by the Spirit Hall.
Previously, in order to threaten Ye Ying and his wife, the powerful families and sects had severed both of Ye Ren's arms.
Fortunately, Little Nine has the ability to regenerate severed arms, and can regenerate an arm for Ye Ren in just a few days.
Brother Ye, please accept my condolences!
Little Nine patted Ye Ren on the shoulder and comforted him.
" Little Nine, I want revenge!"
Ye Ren, trembling all over, barely managed to suppress the hatred and killing intent in his heart, and stared earnestly at the blue-haired boy in front of him.
"Brother Ye, I am very willing to help you improve your cultivation and strength, and even upgrade your Martial Soul, but I cannot take you to participate in the competition. After all, the competition rules are there, and there is nothing I can do about it."
But don't worry, I guarantee that they'll have absolutely no chance of winning the tournament if they face the Shrek Team!
Little Nine sighed, patted Ye Ren on the shoulder again, and solemnly made a promise.
He understood Ye Ren's meaning perfectly: he wanted to defeat the Shrek Team in this competition to avenge his defeat and completely shatter the ambitions of the aristocratic families, sects, imperial nobles, and the Shrek Team to win the championship.
This is far more painful for those people than simply killing them, and it's also the best way to get revenge.
However, according to the competition rules, each college's team can only participate in the subsequent matches with the seven main players and four reserve players who registered in the preliminary rounds.
There were no loopholes to exploit in this regard, so he really had no way to bring Ye Ren into the team.
Despite receiving Little Nine's assurance, Ye Ren remained deeply disappointed and resentful, his hatred for the Shrek Team and the powerful families, clans, and imperial nobles behind them intensifying.
"Young man, you're not entirely without a chance. First, follow Little Nine and improve your strength."
At this moment, Suosite suddenly spoke up. You should know that he personally brought Ye Ying from the Martial Spirit Temple, so he naturally had his own plans.
"Teacher, do you have a solution?"
Ye Ren, who had been feeling disappointed and unwilling, suddenly brightened up and looked at Suosite with excitement and hope.
That's right, he has already become Suosite's apprentice.
His Martial Soul is the same as his parents' Martial Soul, the Six-Hearted Begonia. Although it is not as good as the Nine Heart Begonia, it still has extremely strong healing abilities.
The Martial Soul's characteristics are extremely similar to those of the evolved Black Jade Snow Lotus from Suosite, which is why Suosite has long had his eye on this kid.
He then used the restoration of Ye Ren's arms as a gift to finally accept him as a disciple and planned to train him to be the next dean of the Plant Academy.
There was nothing that could be done about it. His originally chosen successor Zijing, had her heart stolen by that brat Little Nine. Although the other members of the Botanical Team were talented and strong, they were lacking in other aspects and were not suitable to succeed him as dean.
In contrast, Ye Ren is a perfect rough gem. Although he comes from the Nine-Hearted Begonia Clan, the Nine-Hearted Begonia Clan has long since declined, so he doesn't have the bad habits of disciples from ordinary sects and families, and his character is quite good.
With proper training, he will surely achieve great things!
"It is well known that the Spirit Hall Team is the strongest, but it is very unusual that Shrek Academy still has such great confidence in winning the championship."
We can try to guess that they have a trump card that can defeat the Spirit Hall Team, and this trump card is definitely not the immortal-grade treasure medicine that has already been revealed and those high-quality Soul Bone that are being refined.
You can think about what their ultimate trump card will be.
Suosite chuckled coldly, clearly having already guessed Shrek Team's ultimate trump card.
Little Nine and the others looked at each other, pondered for a while before finally understanding, and all of them showed shock.
