After hearing what Xu Tianxi said, Ye Guyi was silent for a moment. Suddenly, he looked up, smiled, and said, "Boss, do you want me to become a god at level 100?"
Xu Tianxi nodded: "You are mine. I have the heart to become a god, and you also have the ability to reach the god level, so I will not allow you to fall behind."
"Okay, since you're the boss and you want me to do it, I'll give it my all!"
Ye Guyi's face was excited. He clenched his fists and sat down cross-legged. The dazzling and hot angel holy flame emanated from his body, and the brilliant soul power surged to his eyebrows like rivers flowing into the sea.
Xu Tianxi's gaze narrowed, his mental energy transforming into visible fluctuations. He cast numerous barriers around him and transmitted his thoughts, "Concentrate your mind and I will protect you..."
If Ye Guyi was not extremely talented and was not a Soul Douluo, he would never let him take risks, but the situation was so special that he had to do his best to help this man of his.
He hopes that when he reaches the summit in the future, he will have fellow travelers by his side.
As the night deepened and the moon was about to dim, Xu Tianxi couldn't sleep. He knew that there were many people who were also sleepless, secretly coveting what they wanted.
Looking out over the semicircular balcony into the distance, Xu Tianxi concentrated his mind, his right hand on the hilt of the Purple Brilliant Dragon Sword, and said to himself:
"No matter how many masters you bring this time, I am waiting here. I don't know whether you are more numerous or the sword in my hand is more powerful."
…
Time passed quickly, and sects and academies from the four empires arrived at the registration office one after another in the next few days.
The feud between Shrek Academy and the Holy Spirit Church spread under Xu Tianxi's deliberate control.
Among them, Zhang Peng's extremely arrogant statement "So what if the Lord of the Sea God? Not only did we kill one, we also killed one with our own hands" was the most widely spread. Xu Tianxi kindly completed the cause and effect of this matter and vigorously promoted the horrific record of the Holy Spirit Church against Shrek.
The purpose, of course, is to manipulate public opinion, so that the two families will fight to the death and cut off the possibility of peace between the two families.
After all, in a sense, both families have grudges against the Sun-Moon Empire, so it is possible for them to unite, even though Xu Tianxi does not think they would have the brains to do so.
If this group of people started fighting among themselves without distinguishing between the main and the secondary, Xu Tianxi would certainly be happy to see it.
During this period, the Snow Demon Sect appeared as expected, and it turned out to be the disguised shell of the Body Sect.
Xu Tianxi's mental power enveloped the entire Mingyue Hotel, and he discovered the figures of the young elites of the Body Sect, including Long Aotian, Vina, Huo Yuhao, and the Lan sisters.
As soon as this group of people arrived, they heard that Yan Shaozhe suffered a loss in the fight and that two generations of Sea God Pavilion masters died directly or indirectly because of the Holy Spirit Church. They sent Vina and Muxue to investigate the truth under the pretext of visiting the wounded.
Xu Tianxi has come up with a response strategy. It's time for you to take the stage again. Go ahead, Xu Jiujiu!
"Vina and I are plastic sisters. I might not get any useful information if I go to gather intelligence... Hey, you don't need to observe for too long when measuring your figure."
Xu Jiujiu's cheeks flushed slightly, and her eyes were a little evasive as she scolded the man who was discussing serious matters with her without blinking.
He used his mental power to detect me, so didn't he indirectly see through me? Really...
Xu Tianxi said seriously, "This is for making battle armor for you. Only a meticulous mental scan can be the most accurate. Besides, it's not like I haven't hugged you before when using spirit fusion techniques."
"Is the humanoid soul guide battle armor you've researched really that magical? Can it significantly increase the combat effectiveness of a soul master?"
Xu Jiujiu's face became even redder, and her bright eyes looked at Xu Tianxi intently, full of confusion.
"If it wasn't of much use, I wouldn't have hidden it from you." Xu Tianxi's gaze shifted from the survey map on the table and met Xu Jiujiu's gaze, his bright eyes filled with calmness.
Xu Jiujiu: "…(⊙_⊙)"
That makes sense, so from now on I am your real friend?
Humph, he didn't even tell his fiancée, who has a soul fusion technique with him, about this. He's so wary.
Xu Tianxi pretended not to see the dissatisfaction in her eyes, and just smiled faintly as he completed the mental mapping, drew a sketch, and handed it to Xu Jiujiu himself.
"The battle armor will eventually be worn by you, so the style and details are up to you."
Xu Jiujiu took the sketch, corrected many details, and said casually, "If there is anything else you need me to do, tell me."
Xu Tianxi thought for a moment and said seriously, "Your soul power and mine can be integrated. Practicing with the combined soul power can increase the speed of cultivation. Let's try it together in the future?"
In the past two and a half years, he had too many things to grasp and too many secrets that should not be known to outsiders, so he could only seclude himself. Now it is different.
He would cultivate to level eighty-ninth as soon as possible, condense the complementary Yin-Yang dual soul cores as soon as possible, break through the Titled Douluo, and then he would dare to fight with Di Tian.
"Okay...you go ahead, I'll go meet Vina later."
Xu Jiujiu thought of something and responded in a mosquito-like voice. Then she stood up, holding up her skirt, saying that she wanted to do some simple makeup and urged Xu Tianxi to leave.
"Wait for good news. I'm going to go and set up the competition venue with Mr. Kong and the others." Xu Tianxi clapped his hands, stood up, and went to rush to the next game.
…
After intensive preparations, the once-in-five-year continental fighting spirit competition was finally ready, with a total of 166 teams participating.
The number of participating teams is one less than in the original timeline. The Tang Sect and Holy Spirit Sect teams are gone, and there is one more team, Heavenly Court.
The competition system prepared by the Sun-Moon Empire is to hold two rounds of elimination matches to determine the top 32, and then a round-robin match to determine the top 8.
Due to numerical issues, two teams were destined to have a bye in the first round of eliminations. The Sun and Moon officials simply announced that these two places would be given to the Heavenly Court team and the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team.
This resolution caused strong dissatisfaction and protests from the original three countries. Forget about the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, what about the Heavenly Court, which had never participated in the competition and had no ranking before?
The reason given by the Sun-Moon Empire was that the Heavenly Court team was powerful and had made significant contributions to the mainland's soul master system, and they suppressed many controversies with force. This move naturally attracted dissatisfaction from many of the original three-country teams.
On the day of the competition, the cheers at the opening ceremony were deafening, and the people of Mingdu City expressed their love and expectations for the competition in their own way.
The many participating teams took their positions and entered the venue one by one. Xu Tianxi looked around and nodded secretly. The quality of the participating teams in this competition was much higher than the previous one.
Contrary to the original three countries' expectations, the Heavenly Court team was the first to enter, even before the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.
As the team leader, Xu Tianxi walked in the front. Another male member of the team, Xu Sanshi, held up the "Heavenly Court" flag and waved it, which was particularly eye-catching.
The host's sonorous and powerful voice came from the broadcasting soul guides in every corner of Mingdu City: "First to appear today is the giant organization of our Sun and Moon Empire, the Heavenly Court team."
"Their captain is none other than the reserve team captain who led the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy to victory over Shrek Academy in the previous tournament. He is the nation's greatest genius in a thousand years, Kong Tianxi. Every single member of the team is a top-notch talent. Please allow me to send a cheer to everyone in the audience today!"
As soon as the words fell, the host's voice seemed to have lit the fuse of a powder keg. From the millions of spectators watching the game at the scene to the citizens of Mingdu watching the live broadcast, they all burst into magnificent waves of cheers, and cheers echoed in the sky of Mingdu City.
"Kong Tianxi, Kong Tianxi..."
"Heavenly Court, Heavenly Court..."
"The Sun-Moon Empire will always be number one, the Sun-Moon Empire is invincible..."
This shocking scene secretly frightened the participating teams from the original three countries, and the dissatisfaction in their hearts became even deeper.
Many people in the Shrek team turned green in the face.
Yan Shaozhe's eyes went dark, and his gaze moved from Xu Sanshi, who was holding a high flag and cheering in the main team, to Xiao Xiao with a shy smile, Ning Tian with a gentle and generous temperament, and Jiang Nannan with a beautiful face. He almost vomited blood.
These are all his Shrek people! How could they have gone to Heaven? Shameless, truly shameless!
In the team, Beibei, who was watching the game in a wheelchair, thought he was dazzled. He rubbed his eyes to make sure that he was not mistaken. The guy waving the flag was his former good brother, Xu Sanshi.
"What... is going on?" Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu looked at each other. Could it be that they could meet old acquaintances while participating in the competition?
In the team, Master Ning, a little-known figure from the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, quietly spoke, whispering, "Everyone, I know it might be hard for you to accept Ning Tian's presence there, but Ning Tian also has her own difficulties. She's forcing a smile..."
After that, he told the reason he had prepared in advance. In order to rescue fifty relatives who were captured by the Sun-Moon Empire, Ning Tian had to compromise and secretly took the help of the Lord of Heaven, in exchange for participating in the competition to rescue some of them.
Yan Shaozhe's face turned even greener. He was so angry that his body was shaking and he couldn't breathe. He couldn't blame the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and he was almost depressed to death!
What made them depressed was not over yet. The Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team led by the Hongchen brothers and sisters entered the venue, and the host naturally had to praise them again.
The Shrek people discovered that there was also a direct Soul King from the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect in the main team of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy!
Master Ning smiled awkwardly and whispered:
"This cousin's father was captured by the Sun-Moon Empire. He didn't want to do this, but he had no choice. Dean Yan, you will understand, right?"
Yan Shaozhe's face trembled violently, veins on his forehead throbbing, and he gasped:
"I understand, of course I understand. Everything is a conspiracy by the Sun-Moon Empire! Do they think these little tricks can make us uneasy and lose our composure? They are totally wrong!"
Tang Wutong said with a cold face: "In the competition later, I will be the first to appear in the individual competition. I will let everyone know the strength of Shrek."
Beibei is incompetent and is defeated before the battle even begins. She must come out and take up the banner.
"Okay, it all depends on you!" At this moment, Tang Wutong was more reliable than Mu En in Yan Shaozhe's eyes.
A Soul Saint of level 73, with an extraordinary configuration of soul rings, will surely let those villains know how powerful he is!
Shrek was eager to fight, and the Sun-Moon Empire did not let them wait too long. After all the teams entered the field, Shrek Academy was arranged to be the first to play.
The opponent they drew was a sect from the original Three Kingdoms, the Tianjia Sect representative team. This was a family sect, and their martial spirits were all the Tianjia Shield inherited from the family, members of the Sea God Alliance.
On the viewing platform, Kong Deming sat in the first seat on behalf of the Worship Hall, while Xu Tianxi and Jing Hongchen, representatives of the two major forces, sat on both sides, as if they were on equal footing.
Seeing that both sides had sent out their first team member in the individual competition, Kong Deming asked with great interest: "Tianxi, how long do you think the Tianjia Sect can hold out?"
Xu Tianxi smiled faintly and said, "Tang Wutong who appeared in Shrek is a seven-ringed soul saint. It depends on her mood."
"The Tianjia Sect is quite powerful. There is a Titled Douluo in the sect. He even visited our Xuanming Sect to ask for advice on cultivation."
When Kong Deming heard that this sect had a Titled Douluo, he guessed that Xu Tianxi did it on purpose, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Having a good disciple means less worries. Let's see what this Shrek genius does.
On the competition stage, the Tianjiao Sect's team member was a young Soul King. As soon as he stepped onto the stage, he was startled by Tang Wutong's appearance. He saluted with a fist and said,
"Hello everyone, I'm Han Yu from the Tianjiao Sect. I'm honored to have the opportunity to compete with Shrek Academy. Please give me your guidance..."
"Just play the game, no more nonsense."
Tang Wutong's impatient voice echoed on the stage, her eyes completely oblivious to the opponent. She said, "I'm quite angry right now. If you don't have the guts, just admit defeat."
Han Yu was stunned for a moment and retreated to prepare for battle.
The game started, and both sides unfolded their martial spirits. Tang Wutong's Goddess of Light Butterfly spread its wings surrounded by seven spirit rings, and it was gorgeous and dazzling to the extreme.
"Six black and one red!"
The extraordinary spirit ring caused a lot of exclamations, and her opponent Han Yu was among them. He was just a normal five-ring spirit king.
"Watch this!" Tang Wutong's voice spread far away, and the second and third soul rings under his feet suddenly lit up.
The golden light patterns on the butterfly's wings quickly ejected small balls of light, which flooded the sky and the earth. The explosion was like thunderbolt, and one hundred and eight slashes of light descended, as bright as the sun.
The ten thousand year level Butterfly God's Light and Butterfly God's Slash!
When the two soul skills came down, Han Yu could only defend himself, but the huge difference in cultivation made this collision a foregone conclusion.
There was a loud bang, and Han Yu's Sky Armor Shield disintegrated under the two soul skills. His body quickly exploded into a large blood mist, flew out, hit the ring's light shield, and fell to the ground.
Xu Tianxi, Kong Deming, and the others' eyes glared. A crushing battle wouldn't be enough to make them so serious. The more important thing was...
Han Yu's life was cut off.
The referee with the seventh-ring cultivation level landed on the ground and moved Han Yu's body. His expression changed, and he looked at Tang Wutong in fear and asked, "Did you kill him?"
A trace of surprise flashed across Tang Wutong's eyes, but her inner pride made her unwilling to bow her head. She said coldly:
"I've already reminded him that if he doesn't have the ability, he should give up early."
