The competition is in full swing.
Although there are old and strong teams like Shrek and Haotian Sect, and new dark horse like Mingyu Sect, everyone will not be discouraged. After all, even if there is no hope of the top three, it is also good to fight for the fourth or fifth position.
There is no doubt about the value of the All-Continental Soul Master Competition. Regardless of the fact that Shrek Academy has always been the number one for thousands of years, and the second place that has been fought over by everyone, the academy teams that can enter the top sixteen are all the targets of various forces.
For the passionate young people, defeating their opponents and winning honors under the spotlight is an irresistible temptation.
However, after the fierce battle between Haotian Sect and Mingyu Sect on the first day, the so-called competition seemed much duller.
Even though it is a knockout round, few teams dare to hide their cards, Soul Kings are not the norm, and only three or four out of ten teams can have a Soul King. After seeing Xikang (the might of the battle between the two Titled Douluo), even the audience has become a little picky.
The cheers were not as loud as they had been at the beginning.
Even for some teams that only had the leader of the Soul Sect, the cheers were vague and powerless, while the academies (sects) that had wasted a long time but were still fighting each other were reluctant to surrender and hurriedly stepped down after the winner was decided.
“What a delicious dish…”
Wang Dong'er stretched lazily.
The light blue dress wrapped around her delicate body, outlining her graceful figure under the sunlight. Her arms were slender and strong. Even though she often stayed next to the furnace, her skin was still as white as snow, without the dark complexion of other craftsmen.
"It's a pity that the Tianling Sect is too weak, it's not even our turn to take action."
After stretching her waist, the girl continued to lie back in the chair, holding her head and basking in the sun lazily, her straight long legs swinging gently, and her beautiful eyes inadvertently glanced at the young man next to her.
He was still incredibly handsome, but with a touch of masculine maturity and less handsomeness. After all, three years ago, anyone who saw him for the first time would have thought he was a vase.
Cautiously, he moved closer to the edge.
She sniffed the scent of the person next to her, and a blush spread across her pretty face all the way to her earlobes.
And a little embarrassed and annoyed.
I cursed myself secretly in my heart, can shyness be used to make a living? Even Sister Qiuer succeeded, and now I am probably the only one who is foolishly keeping my dignity?
A man's possessions are only considered his own after he has eaten them.
"What do I look like to you?"
Wang Dong'er pursed her lips and looked around. There was no one around. Everyone was busy. They watched a battle between Haotian Sect and Mingyu Sect, and left on the second or third day.
Only Cain and Wang Qiuer seemed to have something urgent to do, but they would probably be back soon.
"Like a peacock spreading its tail..." Xu Cheng tilted his head back, with a hat on his face, and spoke in a calm voice.
"Ah..." Wang Dong'er was stunned for a moment, then she kicked him lightly on the calf in embarrassment.
"I didn't get enough rest last night. Can you let me go?" Xu Cheng's tone was weak and sincere.
"Didn't you get enough rest?"
Wang Dong'er widened her beautiful eyes, her light blue pupils flashing with suspicion.
He asked tentatively, "Another night with them?"
Seeing Xu Cheng didn't reply.
Wang Dong'er's red lips trembled and her expression was a little dazed.
It's like something you love and take great care of is treated roughly by someone else - it's also a kind of silent NTR.
"well……"
Xu Cheng sighed lightly, still without taking off his hat.
"Just one."
"One..." Wang Dong'er's pale face finally looked better, and he looked confused.
"I didn't expect the difference between humans and gods to be so big. Damn, it's as if my energy will never run out. I feel like I could have lasted for months if it weren't for the competition today..." Xu Cheng rubbed his waist and finally took off his hat, revealing a pale face, and looked at Wang Dong'er with empty eyes.
"My waist is almost torn apart."
“What do you mean the woman is on top? In the end I still have to use my mental power to hold up the bed all the time, otherwise even the ten thousand year old black ice jade bed would be collapsed.” Xu Cheng gritted his teeth, looking fucked up.
Wang Donger: “…”
So what's the difference?
It's like the goddess you like is kicked by a yellow-haired gym student...
no!
Absolutely not! ~
Seeing Wang Qiuer and Cain coming side by side, she had a plan in mind.
"In the future, if you want me to forge something, do it at least... once!!!" Wang Dong'er leaned close to Xu Cheng's ear, staring at him angrily with her beautiful eyes.
Xu Cheng: “…”
He glanced at Wang Dong'er's already well-formed and rather plump body and raised his eyebrows, "Not bad, this price is not bad."
…
"That's right. This is the place that Mr. Mu once told me to contact Mr. Long..." Xuanzi frowned and looked around the tavern.
It seemed as if it had been newly renovated, and there were quite a few customers inside. Perhaps because of the recent competition, there were quite a few outsiders who were dressed in clothes and had habits that were obviously different from those of Mingdu.
Of course, he is one of them.
A long time ago, before Mu Lao died here, he had told him some things. After all, he was one of the few people who knew about the love triangle between Ye Xishui, Mu Lao, and Long Lao.
But these secrets cannot be known to the world.
Otherwise, if the Shrek Academy shouts its slogan loudly but actually colludes with evil soul masters behind the scenes, its reputation will be completely ruined.
"That's weird. Elder Mu has told me that the place to contact Elder Long in the future is this tavern. All we need to do is say the slogan - bring three cups of Mingniang - and we can notify Elder Long, but..."
He glanced at the busy clerk and his frown deepened.
He repeated the contact code several times, and the waiter happily served him more than a dozen glasses of liquor, filling the table. He wolfed them all down, but Long Xiaoyao still did not show up.
"Master Xuan, are you sure this is the code?" Xian Lin'er, who was standing by, felt a little sorry for the gold soul coins and spoke hesitantly.
"That's absolutely right!" Xuan Zi's face was solemn, "Then there is only one possibility..."
In Xian Lin'er's expectant look, Xuan Zi slowly uttered a few words: "He went to the Free Continent."
Xian Lin'er: "..."
"Master Xuan, I always feel that something might have happened to Master Long." A hint of worry flashed in her eyes.
"In the past three years, we seem to have been blinded. The Sun-Moon Empire has surrounded Shrek Academy and other forces from the Far North to the Star Forest in the south. We don't have any spies in the Sun-Moon Empire, let alone in the past three years... We can't infiltrate at all."
"Mr. Mu's previous plan, the exchange students also lost their wives and soldiers, and even Le Xuan... Now they are going to attack the Holy Spirit Church, it is very likely to happen."
Just as Xian Lin'er was about to continue speaking.
But then I heard a snoring sound.
I saw that Mr. Xuan, who was sitting opposite me, had already slumped over the table, his nose red from drunkenness, and was snoring.
Xian Lin'er: "..."
…
"Oh, there is such a thing?"
A hint of surprise flashed across Xu Cheng's eyes.
In the original novel, we only know that Long Xiaoyao and Moon En have been in secret contact, but we did not expect that there was a secret code between them.
But true.
Moon En was able to borrow "soldiers" from Long Xiaoyao to go to Zhang Lexuan's house to slaughter people. The relationship between the two must have been much closer than people imagined.
Even Ye Xishui might not know about this.
"Brother, what should we do?" Nana stood behind Xu Cheng, playing with a dagger in her hand, a cold look flashing in her beautiful eyes.
Long Xiaoyao and most of the Holy Spirit Church were wiped out long ago.
The grass on the grave is now almost one meter high.
"How can he fool us in our own territory?" Xu Cheng smiled.
"If I'm not mistaken, he is looking for Long Xiaoyao to either contact Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao, promise them conditions, and stab us in the back when the war starts, or... to gather intelligence about the Sun-Moon Empire. After all, the Holy Church is now the state religion of the Sun-Moon Empire and has a very high status."
"Forget it. Let's have our people at the tavern contact him at Shrek Hotel. Let's meet him at the old place (the tavern). I will go there in person."
"Okay!" Nana paused, then turned her hand over to hold the dagger that was flashing with a sharp edge, and was about to leave with her long beautiful legs.
But he was stopped by Xu Cheng.
With a hat covering his face, he said in a leisurely voice: "Don't be so arrogant. You are already the deputy leader. Be more steady."
"Hey, you're the one who got it, bro."
Nana bent down, took off her hat, smacked her lips, put the hat on Xu Cheng's hand, smiled sweetly, twisted her slender waist, waved her hand, and left without looking back.
Xu Cheng: “…”
Wang Dong'er was a little jealous.
Why, they can kiss each other anytime and anywhere, but me? ! !
Sneaking up to Wang Qiuer.
She didn't like eating alone, so she asked her sister to join her - of course, she wouldn't say that she was a little embarrassed.
"well……"
Youyou sighed.
Xu Cheng sat up with a look of disappointment on his face, looking down at the audience with his chin lowered.
Today is the third day of the elimination rounds.
After today, there will be two more rounds of elimination matches.
After all, there are more than 500 participating teams, and because of the addition of sects, the number of teams in this competition has doubled compared to previous sessions, and the elimination round has naturally been changed from the original two rounds to three rounds.
After the final elimination, more than 60 teams remained.
Only then will they enter the group stage and start a new round of fighting.
Until the top sixteen are selected.
And that was at least a week later.
As for the present.
Xu Cheng yawned.
Three years ago, he promoted the research and development of artificial soul rings, liberated tens of thousands of soul beasts, and obtained the interstellar battleship research and development drawings given by the system. However, in these three years, no matter how hard he racked his brains to obtain rewards, most of them were insignificant things.
As for the subsequent interstellar battleship research drawings he wanted, they never appeared.
I'm afraid...
The only thing left is to unify the continent.
Xu Cheng frowned slightly.
Only with this kind of performance can one obtain effective rewards from the system at the current stage.
After all, Douluo Continent has been around for so many years.
Several countries fought each other, and the only time they were closest to unification was when the Spirit Hall was destroyed by Tang San ten thousand years ago.
But it didn't work either.
And he also knew that after tens of thousands of years of evolution, a continent would not be divided forever. Most likely, there was an invisible hand controlling it from behind. It might have been the Asura God in the past, but now...
"Master."
Jiang Nannan was as agile as a pink rabbit, quietly appearing beside Xu Cheng. Her pair of long and straight legs were particularly eye-catching, attracting the attention of many male students when she came, and her top-notch looks made Xu Sanshi unforgettable.
The beauty leaned down gently and whispered a few words in Xu Cheng's ear.
Wang Dong'er was very angry when seeing this.
They started hiding things from me!
Humph, you stinky rabbit, I made you a set of personal soul guides just two days ago!
"Is your mother okay?" Xu Cheng heard this and took a sip of tea.
"Mom is fine and she misses you very much." Jiang Nannan said softly.
"That's good……"
Xu Cheng turned his head and glanced at the beautiful face so close to him.
Six years ago, Shrek Academy forced the girl to come to the Sun-Moon Empire, and she accidentally escaped the pursuit of the Xuanming Sect and was accepted into the Holy Spirit Church.
Now that the Holy Spirit Church has changed its flag, the girl's strength has been upgraded to Soul Douluo, and her status in the church has also been rapidly improved.
Although not as good as Nana, it is not much worse.
It's just that she doesn't like fighting and killing, and she happened to be born into a commoner family. In line with Xu Cheng's original strategy of discovering talents among the common people, she took on this position and also became the face of the Holy Church.
The originally dark and evil Holy Spirit Church has now transformed into a true holy church that saves all living beings...
"More beautiful again." Xu Cheng said with emotion.
"Woo~"
Jiang Nannan's pretty face turned red instantly, like a steaming girl, her brain stopped thinking and her whole body froze in place.
"Look, I still prefer interacting with young girls. I blushed like this after saying a few words that you think are bland." Xu Cheng took a sip of tea leisurely and said calmly, "Unlike you... poor old perverts who are all greedy for my body."
"Don't bring bad influence!"
Jiang Nannan hung her head and could feel the high temperature even from several meters away.
“…”
Wang Dong'er bared her little fangs and glared at him.
Wang Qiu'er, who was standing by, wiped the golden spear calmly. She glanced at Xu Cheng calmly, lowered her eyes slightly, and said with her red lips: "Don't even think about sleeping tonight."
Cain was also elegant, wearing a dark purple dress, her narrow eyes flashed, but she said nothing.
"well……"
Xu Cheng looked at the two sisters who looked alike, snorted, and lay lazily on the chair again, "Just don't beg me to end it when the time comes, you two are both naive and playful."
“…”
"But, Nan Nan... that turtle wouldn't be interested in you, would it?" Wang Dong'er glanced at the Shrek Academy in the top 16. There was always a mysterious gaze there, which had never disappeared since Jiang Nan Nan appeared.
"These Shrek people are really weird."
She curled her lips.
"I remember when I first came to the Imperial Academy for exchange, Beibei and Xu Sanshi were not right. And Tang San was even more outrageous. He kept pestering Ning Tian until I beat him up."
"Next time we meet, do you want me to help you beat him up?"
She carried the signal axe on her seemingly delicate shoulders, a hint of excitement in her eyes.
"This...is not necessary." Jiang Nannan waved her hands quickly.
Then he said coldly.
"I will personally end the feud between him and me." (End of this chapter)
