Chapter 177 The Soul Master Competition Begins
As the eight members of the Royal Fighting Team displayed their Martial Souls and Soul Rings, and announced their Soul Power levels, Dugu Bo's lips curled into a smug smile. He indifferently addressed the three instructors, "What, you old guys, do you have any objections?"
"No, that's all." Meng Shenji and the other two education committee members exchanged glances and shook their heads vigorously.
Not to mention the three education committee members, even Yu Feng, Oslo, and the Shi brothers were shocked when they saw Ye Qinghe and Zhu Zhuqing's soul ring configuration.
They never expected that Zhu Zhuqing would have the fourth ring of the Ten Thousand Years.
Ye Qinghe was even more formidable, possessing a second ring of a thousand-year-old and a fourth ring of a ten-thousand-year-old.
Meng Shenji looked at Ye Qinghe and said, "Qinghe, I remember your second soul ring was a hundred years old, how come..." He vaguely remembered that when Ye Qinghe first entered the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, although he already had a soul power of level 38, his soul ring configuration was two yellow and one purple.
"In the past, it was just to avoid being targeted by those with ulterior motives. After all, some sects like to recruit geniuses, and if they fail to recruit them, they will kill them in secret. So I used some special methods to hide the color of my soul rings," Ye Qinghe said calmly.
Upon hearing this, the three education commissioners nodded in unison. Although his words were not pleasant to hear, it was true that many sects did this.
Or rather, almost all sects have done this.
It's just that it's relatively hidden.
Yu Feng exclaimed in amazement, "No wonder the captain's soul skill is so incredibly powerful, it's practically an unfair version of strength. It turns out he was hiding the color of his soul ring."
Osro said, "Who can argue with that? The higher the quality of the spirit ring, the more it can improve a spirit master's basic strength and cultivation speed. Now I finally understand why the captain's spirit power has increased so quickly."
Ye Qinghe said, "Alright, since the three education committee members have agreed, then let's make the arrangements. Everyone, hurry back to cultivate. Strive to make further progress before the finals begin."
Having confirmed the details of participating in the preliminary and qualifying rounds, Ye Qinghe said no more, turned around, put away his martial spirit, and left with Dugu Bo and the rest of the Royal Fighting team.
Just as they stepped out the door, they bumped right into Shrek Academy's group, who had just returned from hunting souls in Sunset Forest.
Flander, Shao Xin, Li Yusong, Lu Qibin, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Yu Tianheng, and Dai Mubai, the eight biggest sycophants, immediately stepped forward to protect Xiao Wu behind them.
Ning Rongrong stood to Xiao Wu's left, her gaze towards Ye Qinghe as if he were a scumbag. Tang San stood to Xiao Wu's right; though short, his bald head was particularly striking. He stared intently at Ye Qinghe, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.
As for Yu Xiaogang, he had lost a lot of weight and looked utterly dejected. He didn't raise his head at all, and it was clear that he had been mistreated in Sunset Forest for the past two weeks.
Seeing the group's tense demeanor, Ye Qinghe smiled and, unusually, did not cause them any trouble.
However, just as Ye Qinghe brushed past him, Tang San suddenly spoke up: "Ye Qinghe, when the Soul Master Competition comes, I will definitely beat you and avenge this humiliation."
"Those who are defeated by me are never considered my opponents. I give you time to catch up, until you can no longer see them."
Ye Qinghe smiled and left without looking back, amidst the awe of the Royal Fighters, the fear of the eight sycophants, and Ning Rongrong's slightly emotional gaze.
Tang San saw all of this, his fists clenched, and he wished he could fight Ye Qinghe right away.
For the next week, the Royal Fighting Team continued their individual training as usual, while Ye Qinghe devoted himself entirely to the cultivation of the "Qi Scripture".
Seven days later.
The Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies has officially begun.
The competition will be held at the Great Soul Arena in Tiandou City.
At this moment, nearly a third of the area centered around the Great Soul Arena was packed with people. Starting several days ago, all the hotels and inns in Tiandou City were fully booked, and the city's population had surged by fifty percent, all to witness this rare spectacle on the Douluo Continent.
To maintain order during the competition, Tiandou City even mobilized 5,000 city defense troops to keep order at the scene. This prevented a riot.
Early in the morning, the Royal Fighting Team, the main team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and the Shrek Team, the vice team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, entered the Great Soul Arena through a special passage under the guidance of the staff.
The Royal Fighting Team, needless to say, wore the precious gold-embroidered combat uniforms prepared for them by the Heavenly Fighting Royal Academy.
The Shilake team is in an awkward position. Although Flander is no longer the leader and has become Xiao Wu's simp, being a simp is one thing, but the game still has to be played.
Ever since he was humiliated by Ye Qinghe two years ago, Flander has had the idea of making a comeback, and this idea has become even stronger after he fell in love with Xiao Wu.
That's why he directly rejected the silver embroidered combat suit that the Heaven Dou Royal Academy had custom-made for Shrek Academy. He chose the same shit-green clothes as in the original story, and even put a little GG on the back of the clothes.
The only two differences were perhaps the almost negligible insignia of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy vice-captain on each person's chest compared to their clothes.
Out of care for Xiao Wu, Flander didn't give Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong any GG on their clothes. The clothes were a normal green and the style was a normal women's combat suit, so they wouldn't be disgusting to look at.
Even so, because of the unusual attire of the five Shrek boys, they immediately attracted extra attention when they entered the Great Soul Arena.
"What kind of academy is that? Good heavens, did it just crawl out of a latrine?"
"It looks like he's the vice-captain of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy."
"How is that possible? Although the quality of the Soul Masters in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is not satisfactory, how could they dress their students in such uniforms and have them masturbating behind their backs? In my opinion, it's a fake."
"That makes sense, but they seem to be following right behind the main team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and they're even wearing the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's insignia..."
"Who cares if it's counterfeit or not? It just goes to show that there are all sorts of birds in a big forest. It's said that the main team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy voluntarily gave up their guaranteed spot in this year's Soul Master Competition. Because of this, the organizers specially added an extra qualifying spot. Maybe this vice-captain is just here to go through the motions."
"Keep your voice down. After all, they are Soul Masters. But then again, look at that bald kid. Why is he participating in the Soul Master Competition? Could he be the legendary Blue Silver Child? He looks exactly like him. And that fat guy, he looks like a ball."
As the audience's jeers and laughter continued to fill their ears, the seven Shrek Seven Wastes wished they could disappear into a hole in the ground.
Along with them, the former vice-captains of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy also lowered their heads, feeling ashamed.
But there was nothing they could do; they had already been thoroughly subdued by the Seven Wastes of Shrek Academy.
If we were to say who was the angrier among these people, it would have to be Tang San.
