The Stars Gather Here

The semi-finals begin with the battle for the top four.

At this point, the four teams that had advanced to the semifinals had all gathered at Star Luo Plaza and were waiting in their respective rest areas for the draw results.

The rest area has also been renovated, leaving only four areas, with each team spaced far apart from the others.

During this waiting period, the four teams occasionally exchanged glances, sparks flying between them. Each person's eyes revealed their high fighting spirit, and the atmosphere in the rest area became solemn, tense, and even somewhat deadly.

However, there were exceptions, and one of them was Xu Xingyu. While observing the other teams, he spotted a certain princess, and his expression immediately fell.

Although he already knew the other person was there, why did he still smile and wave hello upon seeing him? Was he afraid others wouldn't know their relationship? Didn't he realize that everyone resting was giving him strange looks?

My Xu Jiujiu thought is that there's no need to hide this kind of thing. Since the matter has already been settled, there's no need to drag things out.

To be fair, Xu Jiujiu's outfit this time was quite beautiful. Unlike her elegant and noble demeanor at the auction that day, her temperament changed completely in this outfit, making her look heroic and spirited. Her long purple hair was neatly tied into a ponytail, and a faint smile graced her pretty face. The well-tailored yellow outfit perfectly outlined her delicate figure.

Although Ma Xiaotao was no less elegant than her, and even had a better figure, overall she still seemed somewhat overshadowed by the princess.

Of course, this could also be due to the school uniform, since Xu Xingyu thinks any clothes are much better looking than the shit-green school uniform that Shrek is wearing.

Xu Xingyu didn't particularly dislike the color green; as long as it wasn't on his head, it didn't bother him. However, it was undeniable that Shrek needed to improve its aesthetic sense in making school uniforms.

About half an hour later, the drawing of lots began, and Xu Xingyu no longer had to endure those gazes.

The results of this draw were no different from those in the original novel. The opponent in this competition was still the Star Luo Royal Academy. If this were the original novel, then this draw result would be quite good, but unfortunately, this is not the original novel.

After the draw, Wang Yan began to plan the tactics for this team battle. Since the opponent had a method of elemental isolation, Wang Yan did not let Ling Luochen and Xu Yanxue participate, because the two's attack methods mainly relied on elemental power.

The final team selections for this battle are: Xu Xingyu, Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Jiang Nannan, Xu Sanshi, Bei Bei, and Huo Yuhao.

After the tactics were arranged, the first match between the Shrek Academy and Star Luo Royal Academy was about to begin.

To ensure the safety of all participants, the Star Luo Empire dispatched a Titled Douluo as the referee.

This Titled Douluo's name is Huang Jinxu, his Titled Douluo is Heavenly Fiend, his Martial Soul is Heavenly Fiend Lone Star, and he is one of the Guardian Douluo of the Star Luo Empire.

Under the guidance of Huang Jinxu, a Titled Douluo- level referee, both the Shrek Team and the Star Luo Team stood on opposite sides of the arena.

With both sides confirmed to be ready, the match officially began with a whistle.

The moment the match began, Xu Xingyu immediately released her Ziwei Star Martial Soul, and the pressure of the Ziwei Star Martial Soul began to envelop the entire competition venue.

Everyone with common sense could feel a powerful imperial aura pressing down on them, and Xu Jiujiu felt it the most, after all, her Martial Soul was Star Crown.

As the name suggests, the Star Crown is a crown with the power of stars, a symbol of the emperor. However, Xu Xingyu's Zi Wei Star Martial Soul is a level above.

Ziwei Star, also known as the North Star, is called the Master of Dou Shu in Xu Xingyu Blue Star's teachings. It is the imperial star that represents the image of an emperor.

A mere Star Crown has no right to challenge the majesty of the Ziwei Star.

However, Xu Jiujiu did not show any abnormality in the face of this powerful pressure, after all, she had long known that Xu Xingyu's Martial Soul was superior to her own.

Both of them belonged to the royal family, the only difference being that Xu Xingyu was an outsider to the royal family, while Xu Jiujiu was an insider.

Normally, the three strongest Martial Soul of the Xu Family are the Star Crown, the Star Staff, and the Stargod Sword. However, Xu Xingyu's Ziwei Star Martial Soul is a product of mutation and belongs to the Star series of Martial Soul.

Those who possess a Star series Martial Soul also have an extremely pure Star bloodline. This is why the previous emperor made a marriage agreement with Xu Xingyu's grandfather Xu Tian, mainly because he valued Xu Xingyu's Star bloodline.

However, even the previous emperor could not have imagined that Xu Xingyu would build a power that the entire Star Luo Empire would look up to, which would lead his son Xu Jiawei to use this marriage to try to bind her to the Star Luo Empire.

Back to the competition venue.

Xu Jiujiu, enduring the powerful imperial pressure, she murmured, "You want me to obediently submit to you like this? Too bad I'm not a docile girl. Conquering me won't be so easy."

After speaking, Xu Jiujiu disregarded the fear of his Martial Soul and released his sixth Soul Skill. The moment the black Soul Ring representing ten thousand years lit up, night fell.

The sky, which should have been sunny, suddenly darkened. A white horse appeared in the sky, with a single horn on its head that shone like a diamond. The twin children were a deep blue color, giving the feeling of looking at the starry sky.

That is the Xu Jiujiu Soul Spirit of the Star Radiance Unicorn!

The moment the Star Radiance Unicorn appeared, countless stars began to flash, transforming into beams of starlight that gathered at the arena, eventually forming a domain.

This is Xu Jiujiu's trump card—her sixth Soul Skill, Starlight Domain!

The moment the Starlight Domain appeared, Xu Xingyu's oppressive aura was dispelled. This is one of the effects of her domain: it can prevent allies within the domain from being affected by any negative attributes, including Martial Soul suppression.

Another ability of the Starlight Domain is to use starlight to amplify the various attributes of teammates and reduce the various attributes of enemies.

It can be said to be a field that combines control and support, which is why Xu Jiujiu Xu Jiujiu insisted on going on stage to fight against Xu Xingyu even after knowing that her Martial Soul would be suppressed.

Xu Jiujiu greatly admired Xu Xingyu's abilities and talent, and she also accepted Xu Xingyu as her father's fiancée, but she knew that Xu Xingyu did not accept her.

Therefore, she must present her best self in this battle, letting him know that she is Xu Jiujiu to be his woman, not a dispensable victim of a political marriage!
