Chapter 112: Heading to Heaven Dou City
"Alright, get up, it's time for us to head back," Ye Wen said, calming himself.
"Mm." Zhu Zhuqing responded gently, walking with graceful steps, her hips swaying as she packed up, ready to leave with Ye Wen.
Though nothing special happened that night, Zhu Zhuqing's feelings for Ye Wen had grown rapidly. She seemed to have fallen for him.
Half a day later, the two returned to Monster Academy.
After returning, Zhu Zhuqing went out shopping with Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and the others.
Ye Wen, Evil Tiger, Da Ming, Er Ming, and the other six also organized a trip to North Sea City to have some fun, relax, and enjoy themselves. So, the group headed to North Sea City together.
They went to restaurants, played around, and soaked in hot springs.
Just like that, their leisure time passed quickly, and soon it was the last ten days before the competition.
Finally, the members of Monster Academy set off for Heaven Dou Empire's capital, Heaven Dou City, to participate in the Soul Master Tournament.
Scott, the terrifying knight, served as the team leader for Monster Academy, leading Ye Wen and the others to Heaven Dou City.
After several days of travel, the group finally arrived in the capital of Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City.
As the capital, Heaven Dou City was undoubtedly a top-tier city on the continent. Its level of prosperity far surpassed the cities Ye Wen and the others had visited, including Tianshui City, which could not compare.
"Wow, this is Heaven Dou City? It's really lively here!" Na'er exclaimed, fascinated.
"Indeed, it's much better than North Sea City," Snow Empress nodded, and the girls were all quite interested in the city. They had already started thinking about shopping. "Sisters!!"
"Hey, hey, you guys! All you ever think about is shopping?" Ye Wen quickly interrupted and then said, "Hold on, let's first check into a hotel. After that, you can go wherever you want. The competition starts in four days."
"Alright~"
Since the Soul Master Tournament was being held in the Spirit Arena in Heaven Dou City, the city was very lively during this period.
Numerous people, soul masters from other cities, had gathered here to watch the competition. As a result, hotels were mostly fully booked.
Ye Wen wanted to find a hotel close to the competition venue, but it was very difficult. After searching for two hours, they finally found a hotel that was somewhat decent and close enough to the venue.
"Please, follow me, follow me."
The hotel receptionist led the group from Monster Academy to the front desk.
At the same time, another group of academy teams arrived, heading in the same direction, but Ye Wen and his group arrived first.
When the other academy tried to book a room, they found that Monster Academy had already taken all the rooms.
The leader of the other group wasn't pleased. As the receptionist was checking in rooms for Monster Academy, the leader coldly said, "Wait!"
"We'll take this private suite!"
The person spoke up, clearly trying to snatch the room.
Ye Wen then noticed this group of people. They were clearly another academy team participating in the competition, and their uniforms were red suits and black pants, perhaps from Canghui Academy?
The person leading the group, an old man with white short hair and an aura of villainy, clearly wasn't a good person.
If this was really Canghui Academy, then the middle-aged man speaking was likely the team leader, Shi Nian, a Soul Saint carrying a 10,000-year-old head soul bone, the Illusionary Wisdom Skull.
However, Ye Wen couldn't confirm that yet.
Ye Wen wasn't concerned with what academy they were from. He directly responded, "What do you want? The first-come, first-served principle. Have you lived half your life and not understood that?"
Shi Nian's expression darkened, his eyes narrowing as he prepared to confront Ye Wen. He was a veteran who wouldn't tolerate a junior talking to him so rudely.
"Kid, are you seeking death?" Shi Nian's eyes flickered with killing intent. He was a person known for being ruthless and vicious, with countless geniuses dying at his hands.
Ye Wen's arrogance had already triggered Shi Nian's murderous intent.
Ye Wen smiled, "What, you want to fight?"
"Heh." Shi Nian didn't intend to act openly. Instead, he coldly mocked, "You guys are here to participate in the Soul Master Tournament, right?"
"That's right, we are from Monster Academy."
"Monster Academy?" Shi Nian and his team paused for a moment, looking at each other, then asked, "Monster Academy? Have you heard of this academy?"
"No."
"Never heard of it. Probably just some random academy from a mountain village?"
"Hahahaha! I thought you guys were from some strong academy. Monster Academy? Never heard of it."
"Yeah! Probably just a trash team here to run the race for others!"
"Monster Academy? Hahaha, you're kidding me!!"
The Canghui Academy members suddenly burst out laughing, mocking them. They didn't know that this team in front of them would be the biggest dark horse of this year's Soul Master Tournament.
In the tournament, generally, strong teams were well-known, like the Five Elements Academies. Teams with a higher profile usually had considerable strength.
Although some new, unheard-of academies would join every year, they were often bottom-tier teams, eliminated in the first round, just there to add to the competition.
There were almost no examples of an unknown academy immediately becoming the biggest dark horse.
So, hearing that Monster Academy was unknown to them, they immediately looked down on them and didn't take them seriously.
"And what about you? What academy are you from?" Ice Empress asked coldly.
"We are from Canghui Academy!" A few members of the group proudly stated.
Although Canghui Academy wasn't as powerful as the Five Elements Academies, it was still a decent academy, strong enough to be considered one of the next-tier academies.
When Ye Wen heard that they were indeed from Canghui Academy, he became excited.
"So, this old man is the leader of Canghui Academy, Shi Nian," Ye Wen thought, his gaze greedily assessing him.
Now, he didn't mind taking extreme measures if necessary.
Shi Nian sneered, "I'm willing to pay double the price for that suite. If you're smart, you'll let it go. Otherwise, when we meet at the Soul Master Tournament, Canghui Academy won't go easy on you."
"Heh, feel free to try. Let's see if you have the ability. Get lost, we're booking this room," Ye Wen scoffed, clearly taunting them.
"You!! This kid!" Shi Nian's eyes instantly filled with killing intent.
