Douluo Continent: The Evil-Eyed Dragon God, Many Women, Many Blessings

Chapter 537 Departure, A New Competition!
Yan Shaozhe exclaimed in admiration, and his figure vanished from the spot.

"BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!"

A series of booming sounds resounded within the golden ring, and a massive beam of light, thirty meters in diameter, instantly rose into the air, obscuring all outside vision.

Then, the golden light lasted for less than two seconds before waning and slowly dissipating.

In the sky, the roar of the Holy Light Dragon echoed faintly, as if the dozens of Holy Light Dragons had already ascended to heaven.

On the Shrek team's side, apart from Xu Sanshi and Wu Feng, everyone else was dumbfounded, their mouths almost dislocated.

Dai Huabin was unharmed, but lay sprawled on the ground like a walking corpse. Standing in front of him was Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department.

Yan Shaozhe's eyes shone brightly as he sincerely praised, "As expected of the teacher's great-grandson, this Dragon Emperor's Domain Realm already has some of the teacher's style."

Bei Bei nodded slightly to Yan Shaozhe, and the golden lightning on her body slowly subsided.

He looked at Dai Huabin expressionlessly and said calmly, "Rank does not represent everything, but you are not within the scope of this rule."

After saying this, Bei Bei glanced at Huo Yuhao on the sidelines, sighed softly, and walked towards the Shrek team.

Dai Huabin's eyes glazed over, and his face turned deathly pale.

Yan Shaozhe glanced at Huo Yuhao, then looked at Xiong Lintian, Xie Huanyue, and the others who were somewhat dazed, and sighed as well.

He had originally wanted Shrek's new team to spar with Huo Yuhao and his group, but now it seems there's no need for that.

Even Bei Bei is this strong. If Huo Yuhao and the others were to go on stage and get thoroughly beaten, this new Shrek team would probably completely collapse mentally.
Next, Beibei, Xu Sanshi, and Wu Feng stayed at the academy to conduct final training sessions with the new Shrek team.

As for the Spirit Pagoda, everything is now on track. With Ma Xiaotao, Ning Tian, ​​and Xuan Ziwen looking after it, plus Huo Yuhao's presence, there won't be any problems even without Bei Bei, the head steward, to coordinate things in the short term.

Just like that, three months passed in the blink of an eye, and the competition was getting closer and closer.

That evening, after dinner, the core members and high-ranking officials of the Spirit Pagoda gathered in the council hall.

Huo Yuhao sat in the main seat, looking at his companions on both sides, and smiled and said: "For this competition, our Spirit Pagoda team consists of me, Qiu'er, Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, Tian'er, Nana, my senior brother, and Jiang Nannan, a total of eight people. We will depart for Mingdu tomorrow."

"No."

No sooner had Huo Yuhao finished speaking than dissenting voices arose.

Everyone looked over in surprise and discovered that it was Jing Ziyan.

"Sister Ziyan, do you also want to participate? But you're too old," Xiao Xiao asked curiously.

Jing Ziyan glared at the girl who was always targeting her vitals, then glanced at Ji Juechen beside her and said, "Tomorrow, Lao Ji and I will go with you too."

"Indeed, we're too old to participate in the competition, but we're quite familiar with Mingdu. If we go there, we can help you with some things and protect you!"

"Protect us?" Huo Yuhao said with a half-smile.

Jing Ziyan blushed.

Given Huo Yuhao's current true strength, he could easily crush her. Even if she and Ji Juechen were combined, they wouldn't be a match for Huo Yuhao. Therefore, the reason given for "protecting" her is indeed not very convincing.

But Jing Ziyan's mention of it suddenly reminded Huo Yuhao of the underhanded tactics the Sun Moon Empire had secretly employed in this competition.

Although he had made preparations, there were still some things that required manpower, and Jing Ziyan and Ji Juechen might indeed come in handy. "Alright, then I'll add the two of you. As for the Spirit Pagoda, I'll trouble Sister Xiaotao and Teacher Xuan to stay and guard it," Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

Then, his expression turned serious: "You can go, but I have to make this clear beforehand. Participating in this competition is like being in the enemy's lair. All actions must be under my command. Otherwise, you shouldn't go."

Jing Ziyan and Ji Juechen exchanged a glance and nodded seriously: "Of course, you are the sect leader, so we will listen to you."

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly: "Then it's settled. Everyone, get some rest. We'll set off first thing tomorrow morning."

Shrek's inner courtyard, Poseidon Island.

Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan looked intently at the juniors representing Shrek Academy in the competition and said excitedly, "Tomorrow, we'll set off for Mingdu. Good luck, everyone!"

"Yes, senior sister!"

Zhang Lexuan nodded with a smile, her gaze sweeping over Beibei at the front of the line, and suddenly softened.

For this competition, Shrek Academy decided not to send any teachers to accompany them, but instead appointed Zhang Lexuan as the team leader, clearly indicating that they were starting to train the next generation.

The next day, Huo Yuhao and the others arrived at the east gate of Shrek Academy early in the morning, where Bei Bei and the others were already waiting.

Although Shrek Academy will no longer send teachers, the relationship between the academy and the Spirit Pagoda is still close. For everyone's safety, it was decided that the two sides would set off together, so that they could look out for each other.

"Yuhao."

"Beibei."

The two captains exchanged a tacit greeting, then simultaneously took to the air and flew towards Mingdu.

The banner of the new Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition is return.

Because long ago, this grand competition with a history of ten thousand years was originally open to sects to participate.

It wasn't until nearly a thousand years ago that the scale was reduced, becoming a program that only allowed colleges to participate.

This time, at the suggestion of the organizer, the Sun Moon Empire, and with the agreement of other countries, it was finally decided to restore the previous participation qualifications and add sects to the list of participants.

Even the competition format has been changed, which has greatly increased the scale of the entire competition.

It should be noted that on the mainland, the number of sects far exceeds the number of academies.

For the academy, achieving good results in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament is a great opportunity to make a name for itself and has huge benefits for student recruitment and the academy's development.

And isn't the same true for sects?
The development of any sect cannot be achieved without talented individuals.

The more highly skilled and talented individuals are, the more likely they are to join powerful sects.

Talented people are different from韭菜 (leeks/chives); they are precious in any world.

After the rules of the new competition were confirmed to be changed, it immediately caused a huge uproar on the continent, with almost 60 percent of the sects choosing to register for the competition.

If it weren't for the final decision of the competition organizing committee, in addition to the age requirement of twenty, there would also be a restriction that at least five of the contestants from the sects must have a cultivation level of more than four rings.

Otherwise, the number of participating teams in this competition would probably be more than ten times that of the previous one!
