—------------------—
Tang Wutong, who had just returned from the draw, was the most nonchalant about facing a formidable foe like the Body Sect. She crossed her arms, raised her chin, and spoke in a proud and assertive tone, not taking anything seriously:
"I don't care what kind of opponent we face. In short, as the captain of Shrek Academy, I can only accept victory!"
"If anyone drags their feet at a crucial moment, don't blame me for being rude!"
As soon as the words fell, Beibei felt a chill in his spine. He was silent for a moment, then raised his pale hands:
"I have something to say, Captain. My injury will take some time to heal. If the schedule is tight, I may not be able to play in time."
Tang Wutong glanced at Beibei, a look of undisguised disdain flashing in the depths of her pupils. She said coldly, "That's your problem. If you can't play, then don't hold us back."
"I will never allow the mistake I made last time to happen again!"
"If you can't recover before a fight, there's no point in tactical planning."
Beibei was scolded by her. Her palms on the wheelchair suddenly tensed up, tightly grasping the wooden edge, and nodded, "I understand."
None of the other students in the Shrek team spoke up for Beibei, and none of them would stand up to Tang Wutong for Beibei.
Yan Shaozhe frowned slightly, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
Tang Wutong's words were a bit harsh, but she was right. If Beibei couldn't play, he should just have a good rest.
Feeling that there was no place for him here, Beibei did not want to make trouble for himself and pushed his wheelchair out of the meeting room.
It seems that he can no longer rely on the academy to rescue Xiaoya, so he has to go by himself.
After Beibei left, the Shrek students became even more awed by Tang Wutong. Tang Wutong gave them advice and arranged powerful tactics, and everyone obeyed him, not daring to challenge his absolute authority.
Meanwhile, the discussion about the battle within the Body Sect reached a fever pitch.
Huo Yuhao raised his hands high, his expression excited: "I want to compete in the individual competition. I want to fight that Tang Wutong and see what's going on with her!"
Jin Peng frowned, disagreeing: "Yuhao, you are at the fifth ring and she is at the seventh. The difference in soul power is too big. It's too dangerous."
Huo Yuhao puffed out his chest and said, "Elder, you know the effect of my fifth soul skill. If I can borrow even a drop of Brother Long's blood, my combat power will increase significantly in a short period of time. It won't be a problem for me to fight her for a while."
"That's also very dangerous…" Jin Peng still disagreed, even though Huo Yuhao's fifth soul skill was the strongest fifth soul skill among the younger generation of the Body Sect.
Long Aotian said coldly: "If she appears in a personal battle, I will deal with her and test her ability."
"Aotian, you can do it, but you have to be more careful." Jin Peng knew Long Aotian's strength and was quite confident in him.
Huo Yuhao was rejected from joining the battle. He wanted to say that he would become a little dragon Aotian after using his fifth soul skill, but seeing that Jin Peng and Gu Tong were unwilling to take the risk himself, he had to sigh and settle for the next best thing.
"In that case, if I run into Dai Huabin, I'll apply to fight. That should be fine, right?"
"The White Tiger Soul Emperor who just entered the Sixth Ring? Of course there is no problem."
Jin Peng agreed and asked casually, not worrying about the safety issue at all. The little white tiger had been retired long ago.
"Yuhao, you were classmates with him. Do you want to have another battle?" Jin Peng showed an interested smile at the corner of his mouth.
Huo Yuhao shook his head, a trace of pain on his face, his eyes burning with hatred, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"He and I have a family feud, an irreconcilable family feud. Killing people in the Shrek arena. I don't think the Sun-Moon Empire would mind if Shrek students were faced with a life-and-death battle."
Jin Peng raised his eyebrows, "Do you have a grudge against him? Do you need the sect to help you kill his entire family and avenge Xue..."
"Mr. Jin!" Vina called out loudly and winked fiercely.
The Duke of White Tiger's Mansion is the most powerful family in the Xingluo Empire. They have been in charge of the military for more than four thousand years. They are not a small family that can be easily wiped out.
At least for now, it is not worth doing this for Huo Yuhao, even though he has shown great potential.
"Oh, I forgot his father is Dai Hao from the Xingluo Empire. It's not easy to kill him and destroy his entire family now."
Jin Peng realized it later, touched his head, and gave Huo Yuhao an embarrassed smile.
I've done so many house raids and family exterminations in the Tianhun Empire that I don't think before I speak.
Huo Yuhao smiled, not feeling disappointed. He stood up and bowed deeply to Jin Peng and everyone from the Body Sect.
When he looked up again, a joyful smile spread across his face as he said, "During my time in the Body Sect, thanks to everyone's care, I will of course avenge my family's vengeance myself. As for Dai Huabin, if there's a chance, please leave him to me."
"If Shrek and the White Tiger Duke's Mansion want to blame us, I will..."
"Yuhao, you don't need to say anything. We are all one family in the Body Sect."
Jin Peng raised his hand and said solemnly, "We in the Body Sect are never afraid of trouble. You and Shrek have a grudge. No matter what happens, we will shoulder it together. Do you think the Body Sect is afraid of them?"
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao's deep blue eyes flickered. He pursed his lips and said in a bitter voice, "Thank you, thank you, Elder..."
After wandering around the continent for many years, only the Body Sect made him feel the warmth of home, which was incomparable to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion and Shrek Wan.
The people here may not be very smart, but they are all sincere people; they are thousands of times better than Yan Shaozhe and cannot be compared at all.
When Gu Tong and the others suddenly learned that Huo Yuhao had a great grudge, they did not ask him how he had a grudge with the second son of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. Instead, they patted his shoulders, gave him encouragement, and laughed.
The bright sunlight filtered through the window lattice and sprinkled on Huo Yuhao who was leaning against the window, giving him a sense of comfort as if his pores were relaxed.
Mom, did you see that? Your little Yuhao finally has a reliable companion who is about to avenge you.
At the same time, Beibei pushed his wheelchair to the balcony alone. He basked in the gentle sunshine to heal his wounds. The light soul power surged in his body, but his heart felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave, and his eyes were empty.
Here, he became an outsider, his words carried no weight and no one listened to him. This was a great pain and suffering.
Recalling that Zhang Lexuan, Tang Ya, Xu Sanshi and others had left one after another, he felt that there was nothing left in Shrek worth his nostalgia.
Perhaps after this competition, he should leave Shrek. He has completed the thirty supervisor missions and is about to graduate.
"Holy Spirit Church, I will definitely break in..."
…
That night, the Mingdu Underground Soul Instructor Competition opened.
The evil soul master Radar Ye Guyi reported that two guys who were suspected to be from the Holy Spirit Church were found among the wild soul masters, and he requested to kill them.
"Cast a long line to catch a big fish."
On the observatory, Xu Tianxi gave instructions and refocused his gaze on the charming Xu Jiujiu in front of him. He pressed forward with both palms and urged:
"Hurry up and continue. Don't slack off in your practice."
"Your soul power is too strong, let me slow down a bit..."
He panted heavily for a long time, sweat dripping from his forehead. The Star Crown Martial Soul floating above his head shone with an even brighter light. The eighteen stars attracted more star power to descend and enveloped the bodies of the two.
During this process, a trickle of soul power flowed into his body. Xu Tianxi's face showed an intoxicated look, and the moon-shaped vertical eye between his eyebrows was looming.
The two of them were able to connect with each other due to special reasons. Under the stars and the moon, the speed of his soul power circulation was more than half faster than usual, and the speed of his mental power improvement was even greater.
At the level of Contra, this speed is very amazing. Even someone as calm as Xu Tianxi often gets inspired while watching the battle and looks forward to practicing at night.
If it weren't for the fact that he had to keep an eye on all parties and prevent them from moving during the day, given Xu Tianxi's personality, he would have wanted to take Xu Jiujiu away from home and practice to become a Titled Douluo before coming out.
Xu Tianxi benefited a lot, and so did Xu Jiujiu. Her soul power level was low, so the speed of cultivation increased even more, so much so that it seemed a little unreal to her.
After just these few days, she felt that the bottleneck of level 80 was shaky and seemed to be broken through soon.
Despite this, she began to fear that Xu Tianxi would look for her. His soul power was too strong and powerful. Every time it entered the tendons and veins, it was like a torrent pouring into the shallows, filling the river and widening the riverbed.
This process was very uncomfortable. Xu Jiujiu really wanted to shout for a pause, but Xu Tianxi had changed since that day. He would always come to him on the pretext of practicing, meditate all night, and then start a new day with full spirit.
She suffered a lot and often couldn't sleep for a long time after a night. After the first time they practiced together, she lay in bed and didn't want to move even a finger. It felt like all the bones and veins in her body were not her own. She was more tired than fighting ten battles.
"Jiujiu, what are you thinking about? Don't you want to break through the Soul Douluo as soon as possible and improve your cultivation? The glory of the Xingguan family will fall on your shoulders."
Seeing that Xu Jiujiu was still not working hard after taking a short break, Xu Tianxi rolled his eyes and drew a pancake, urging Xu Jiujiu to practice hard.
"You are so kind to help me, I suspect you want me to break through the Soul Douluo so that you can further improve your training efficiency." Xu Jiujiu rolled his eyes and said unhappily.
"It's mutual. This kind of thing is mutually beneficial and no one loses out." Xu Tianxi said nonchalantly, just urging Xu Jiujiu to cheer up.
A silent night passed, the jade moon disappeared, and the golden crow rose in the east.
Xu Tianxi carried Xu Jiujiu, whose body had almost turned into a ball of mud, to the bed, covered him with a quilt, and told him to have a good rest. He then walked out of the observatory with a happy smile on his face.
When Xu Tianxi met Broken Star Douluo and Nebula Douluo head-on, he greeted them with a smile.
"Good morning, Your Majesties."
Broken Star Douluo is an old acquaintance, and Nebula Douluo is the senior guard assigned to Xu Jiujiu by Xu Jiawei. They are both his own people.
Seeing Xu Tianxi's face flushed, Shattered Star Douluo thought for a moment and understood something. He showed the look of an experienced person and advised:
"Prince, I'm not taking advantage of my age, but young people should know how to be restrained."
Xu Tianxi: "…"
The smile on his face froze and question marks appeared on his forehead.
Is this a misunderstanding?
"...Your Majesty the Broken Star, you may have misunderstood. We are just practicing."
Nebula Douluo Manyi peeked inside and said with a distressed look on his face, "I've been watching for several days now, and every time I go, the princess is unconscious. Prince, you are young and strong, and you should have some sense of propriety..."
Xu Tianxi: "…"
How come this is getting worse?
Seeing that the two men were full of disbelief, Xu Tianxi didn't want to argue any further. He said goodbye and left quickly.
It just so happens that it is your Xingluo Empire's turn to have a civil war in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion soon, so you must make arrangements as soon as possible.
The two Titled Douluo shook their heads and sighed upon seeing this. Young people are really impetuous.
"When I first met this man, I never thought that Her Royal Highness the Princess would develop this relationship with him."
Nebula Douluo sighed and went to the observatory to look for a long time.
