"That's a wonderful statement!"
"That's right! That's right!"
"Shao Zhe is very thoughtful, and I, an old man, can't match him!"
"That's it!"
Yan Shaozhe's solution sounded really reliable. The elders clapped their hands and laughed. In their eyes, the thousand-year glory of Shrek Academy was above everything else.
"Master Xuan, don't blame yourself too much." Yan Shaozhe consoled, "Everyone knows that the Taotie Divine Bull Martial Spirit forced you to eat for a long time. This is just an accident and will not affect the overall situation."
Hearing this, the deep shame on Xuan Lao's face dissipated a lot. Compared with the last battle in the Star Dou Great Forest where many inner court disciples died at the mouth of a hundred thousand year soul beast, the cost of three minor injuries and three serious injuries this time was not enough to break his inner defense.
"Xuan Zi, what are you standing there for? Go and call Chen Zifeng, Dugu Lin and the other four. If you delay any longer you will miss the first round of eliminations!" Old Song urged.
"Oh yes, yes, I'll go right away!"
Old Xuan nodded repeatedly, with khaki soul power spreading all over his body. He immediately prepared to rush out of the Sea God Pavilion and take the four inner courtyard soul kings to Xingluo City for emergency assistance.
"stop."
A plain but majestic voice sounded. The two words were spoken in a calm tone, but Xuan Lao, who had just started, stopped abruptly. He looked back at the figure on the recliner, and reluctantly moved towards the door, saying,
"Mu Lao, time is running out. I..."
"I told you to stop, can't you hear me?"
Mu Lao's tone became heavier, and an aura as profound and majestic as a king emanated from his old and decayed body.
Old Xuan was shocked. He couldn't remember whether it had been eighty or one hundred years since Old Mu had such strong emotional fluctuations.
At this time, Old Mu was the Dragon God Douluo who had dominated the Douluo Continent for a hundred years. Before that, he had always been like a kind old man. The elders also felt that Old Mu had a gentle temper and a tolerant heart, so they unconsciously made some presumptuous moves.
Although he was extremely reluctant, Elder Xuan did not dare to disobey Elder Mu. He turned around and sat back in his seat. The other elders sensed Elder Mu's genuine anger and subconsciously sat up straight, just like the primary school students in the classroom who became silent as soon as the teacher got angry. They pursed their lips and dared not say a word.
Mu Lao's gentle eyes rarely revealed a coldness, and he said: "I am old, and I won't live for two years. The future of Shrek Academy depends on your help, so some things can be ignored, but what stupid things are you doing!"
His sharp eyes swept over the elders of the Sea God Pavilion. These gray-haired old men and women were like teenagers in their dreams, and they were as obedient as quails in front of their teachers. Mu Lao snorted coldly and said in a deep voice:
"The last time the reserve team was replaced, I made excuses for you in my heart because it was an internal matter of the academy. After losing the reserve team quota, there will be the Seven Monsters Challenge in five years. The children can take back their own honor with dignity.
But this time it concerns the lives of the inner court disciples!
Why did they get hurt! How can we avoid tragedies? You don't think about these things at all, but you care about the so-called… eternal glory!
Look at your own virtues in the mirror. You don't look like an old man at all. I wish I could take you to the underground and clear the name of Shrek Academy! "
Mr. Mu's face was half angry and half disappointed. There were less than a hundred disciples in Shrek's inner courtyard. While they had heavy study tasks, they also needed to perform extremely dangerous monitoring tasks.
The Death Messenger Little Soul King almost wiped out the Shrek Seven Devils, who were the most talented even if they were placed in the inner courtyard. If they were replaced by the Evil Soul Emperor and the Evil Soul Saint, wouldn't the
inner courtyard disciples be wiped out! The dead cannot be resurrected. Every death of an inner courtyard disciple is a heavy blow to Shrek Academy. The top priority is to find a way to ensure the survival rate of the inner courtyard disciples. As a result, a group of people were discussing how to win the Soul Master Competition. Mu Lao felt as if he had shortened his life by half a year because of anger.
"Xuan Zi, tell me why the disciples who have been carefully trained by the inner and outer academies of Shrek Academy for eight or nine years are either seriously injured or slightly injured, while Ling Bai is unharmed!" Elder Mu called on Elder Xuan to answer.
"The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect equipped him with an eighth-level soul guide shield!"
Elder Xuan slapped his thigh and blurted out, "The destructive power of the corpse explosion is comparable to a Soul Saint's full-strength attack. The eighth-level soul guide shield can release an eight-ring defense Soul Douluo-level shield. That kid is naturally very safe."
"Equipping a five-ring soul master with an eight-level soul guide shield, the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has gone crazy..." Old Song shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Not only Mr. Song, a few months ago, I went to Tiandou City to participate in the annual auction of the Tianhun Empire. The finale of the eighth-level peak spiritual defense soul guide device, Thousand Charms Demon Face, was also auctioned off by the Jiubao Liuli Sect. It has been in Ling Bai's hands since the beginning of this school year." Qian Duoduo added.
Hearing this, the elders were stunned. The six-winged angel is a god-level martial spirit, with powerful attributes and explosive attack power. It is invincible in air combat. The disadvantage is that its defense is not as good as the top defense martial spirit, and its mental power is not as good as the real mental martial spirit. Now that it has the eighth-level soul guide shield and the Thousand Charms, they only want to say one thing:
Kid, you are invincible!
Mu Lao sighed and said, "Seraphim is the only god-level martial soul in this era. Even so, Ling Bai and Jiubao Liuli Sect still used soul guides to make up for the weak links and created a flawless six-winged angel.
There are thousands of students in Shrek's inner and outer courtyards, plus us old guys. Who dares to say that his martial spirit is stronger than Ling Bai's? Shouldn't we use soul guides to play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses?
We can't equip every student with an eighth-level soul shield, but sixth and fifth levels are definitely not a problem. If we provide the Shrek Seven Devils with a fifth-level soul shield for self-defense, Yao Haoxuan, Gong Yang, and Mo Xixi would definitely not be injured so badly! Ma Xiaotao and the other two might be able to be as unscathed as Ling Bai!"
"Teacher, our Shrek Academy is the number one soul master academy on the continent. Using soul guides to fight seems a bit... inappropriate. The pride in the hearts of the martial soul students also does not allow them to use soul guides."
Yan Shaozhe stood up and raised an objection. Shrek Academy has always been proud of upholding tradition. All the students in the inner courtyard's Martial Soul Department, from the senior sister Zhang Lexuan to the freshmen who just passed the assessment, refused soul guides. There is a clear distinction between the Martial Soul Department and soul guides.
He roughly understood that Mr. Mu undoubtedly wanted to carry out reforms today. He used Ling Bai and the Messenger of Death as an introduction and proposed that students of the Martial Soul Department be allowed to accept soul guides.
"Yes, yes, Shaozhe is right!"
"Mr. Mu, the most elite martial spirit disciples of the continent's number one spirit master academy are learning spirit guides. What's the difference between that and a joke!"
"Without soul guides, we have still won every soul master competition in the past ten thousand years!"
"Think carefully, the Death Messenger is just a small Soul King. The reason why the Seven Devils suffered heavy losses this time was because they underestimated the enemy. From now on, we will add a Soul Master Theory class every week to remind them that even a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit. Then accidents will not happen again!"
The elders all shook their heads in opposition. In their minds, martial souls and soul guides should be two completely opposite sides. How could a soul master and a soul guide be merged?
Mu Lao said firmly: "No need to say more, today I issue an order with the authority of the Sea God Pavilion Master. After this Sea God Pavilion meeting, all inner courtyard disciples will take a soul guide course once a week. They are not required to learn how to make soul guides, but they must be able to use ordinary soul guides.
Then we will go to the Soul Guidance Department to tailor a flight soul guide and a defense soul guide of the same level. If anyone objects, please leave the academy."
"Ah, this…"
When Elder Mu became tough, the other elders, including Elder Xuan, softened in an instant, opened their mouths to speak several times but stopped, and finally nodded helplessly.
"Yes, teacher!"
Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo were overjoyed. The Soul Guidance Department had been looking forward to it for a long time, and finally the serfs were singing about their liberation. However, the two deans of the Martial Soul Department, Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meir, were frowning, as their precious students were going to be ruined by such filthy things as soul guide devices!
"Shao Zhe, you are my eldest disciple. The teacher has high hopes for you. You must remember that the development of soul guides is irreversible. The combination of soul masters and soul guides is the general trend. I have two requests for you.
1. Ensure credibility. Rules are rules, and unspoken rules are also rules. Breaking them rashly will make the students panic and difficult to trust Shrek Academy. Last time you changed the reserve team, you thought it was perfect, but you didn't know that justice is in the hearts of the people. This is a hidden danger, and you must pay attention to it.
Second, accept the exchange application of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy and send outstanding students of the Soul Guidance Department to see what the most advanced Soul Guidance Academy on the Douluo Continent looks like and what kind of soul guidance equipment they use. Broaden your horizons and gain knowledge, and learn the soul guidance technology of the Sun Moon Empire. If you keep sitting in the well and watching the world from Shrek Academy, you will only be complacent. "
"yes."
Yan Shaozhe agreed reluctantly. Everything he did was obviously for the prosperity of Shrek Academy.
"Mr. Mu, the Soul Master Competition..." Mr. Lin said cautiously.
"Yes, yes, the ten thousand years of glory cannot be lost!"
When this matter was mentioned, the elders instantly became excited.
Mu Lao smiled calmly and said, "Ten thousand years of glory... Don't you think that we have been kidnapped by this glory over the years?
No disciples are allowed to be sent as reinforcements. Since you like to make substitutions, let's see how far the reserve team, who are willing to break the rules to protect the team, can go. You will have to bear the consequences of your own sins.
Xuanzi, this is the second time you have failed in your duty. If anything unexpected happens again, I will show no mercy.
Go back!"
…
Xingluo City.
As the capital of the Xingluo Empire, Xingluo City has the title of the imperial capital that will never fall, and is also the political, cultural, and economic center of the Xingluo Empire.
This Soul Master Competition is held at Xingluo Square in front of the Imperial Palace. Opposite Xingluo Square is a magnificent high-rise building called Xinghuang Hotel.
The Xingluo Emperor issued an edict that this hotel, which was previously reserved for the royal family, be vacated to accommodate contestants from advanced soul master academies and soul instructor academies in various countries.
Shrek Academy has monopolized all the soul master competition champions in the past ten thousand years. Its rooms were arranged by the Xingluo royal family on the top floor of the Xinghuang Hotel. Each person has a luxurious bedroom and a spacious conference room specifically for arranging tactics.
Ling Bai did not alarm anyone, he just went to the front desk to show the Shrek Academy badge. Under the shocked look of the waitress who said "You, the number one academy in the continent, actually play so extravagantly", Ling Bai hugged a stunning beauty in each hand, carried the strong Dai Yuheng on his back, and threw them one by one onto their beds. Looking at the three people who were racing against time to recuperate from their internal injuries, he let out a breath.
"Finally done."
The six-winged angel flew at full speed, and he was exhausted all the way from Mingdou Mountains to Xingluo City. If it wasn't for the sake of hiding his identity, he even had the urge to summon the Death Prison Bone Dragon to carry the four of them and fly.
"Click—"
Ling Bai locked the door. Xinghuang Hotel provided special services free of charge. The students who came to participate in the competition were all young men full of vigor and vitality, and they were most likely to lose control of their lower bodies and accidentally discharge their guns.
Martial souls are inherited through blood, and the Soul Master Competition gathers the most talented people with the strongest bloodlines in the entire continent. The Xingluo royal family secretly orders that whoever becomes pregnant with the offspring of the top martial soul will receive an extremely generous reward. Therefore, each beautiful girl is bolder, more unrestrained, more charming and more beautiful than the other. Dai Yueheng said that last time a young girl broke into his room at night, he almost got killed by a hungry tiger, and he specifically reminded Ling Bai to protect his essence.
Ling Bai fell into a state of meditation, recovering his physical and spiritual strength while immersing himself in the sea of spirituality, and then saw this scene.
By the lake of life, a transparent fishing line hangs in the middle of the lake. Electrolux is fishing leisurely, and the days are peaceful and quiet.
Not far away, snow and ice were drifting. The Snow Emperor controlled the ice knife to carve an ice house. In front of the house, there were two ice sculptures guarding the house, a cute ice bear and a giant with a green face and fangs. On the roof lay an ice scorpion with a five-segment long tail.
"You two... seem to have quite free time." Ling Bai was embarrassed.
"I have taught you all the magic of the dead. You can learn as much as you can on your own. I have nothing to do, so what's wrong with taking care of myself?"
Electrolux pulled the fishing rod, and immediately a small gray fish was pulled up.
Xue Di agreed with this: "After guarding the Far North for 700,000 years, I finally put down my burden and of course I have to enjoy life."
"Degenerate, too degenerate!" Ling Bai was heartbroken.
He was working hard in the outside world to increase his bargaining chips for the future, but a generation of Holy Necromancer God and Ice and Snow Lord were actually playing badly!
"Come and see how it goes."
Snow Emperor finished carving Ice Emperor's tail hook with the last stroke and called Ling Bai to admire his masterpiece.
"Ice Emperor, Titan Snow Demon King, Ice Bear King... You are really boring, how about I teach you to play some two-player games?"
"What game?" Xue Di was curious.
"Playing chess is fun and educational."
"OK."
Seeing Xue Di taking the bait, Ling Bai's smile flashed and disappeared, and he said seriously: "In the human world, playing chess requires bets."
"Is this true or false?"
The Snow Queen's icy sky-blue eyes narrowed quietly, and she seriously suspected that Ling Bai was secretly setting a trap for her.
"I guarantee it on the honor of Seagod Tang San." Ling Bai vowed.
"Wait, what does Poseidon have to do with you?" Xue Di frowned slightly, wondering why Ling Bai didn't swear on the God of Angels, but on Poseidon instead.
"Tsk, then don't worry about it."
