Douluo: Huo Yuhao obtains the Flame Emperor template

Chapter 157 I have made up for my mistakes

"Shrek was really blown up?" Xu Jiawei was stunned. He just made a random guess, but he didn't expect it to be true. Xu Jiawei had never heard of any evil soul master who dared to do such a "heinous" thing to the elders of the Sea God Pavilion!
After the minister's brief narration, Xu Jiawei knew that three people from the Shrek Supervisory Corps had died in the battle, so he naturally could not gloat over their misfortune.

"Ah, I didn't expect Shrek to be blown up. What a bad fate! So, what I said before..."

Xu Jiawei paused for two seconds, sighed slowly, and uttered a few words slowly.

"As if I didn't say anything."

At this moment, above the palace hall, the space behind Xu Jiawei fluctuated, and the aura of the Taotie Bull's martial spirit emanated from it.

"Haha, Jiawei, what did you say was bombed?"

Xuan Zi's ghostly voice reached Xu Jiawei's ears: "The Emperor of Xing Luo is so majestic."

"Who!" Several Star Crown guards immediately appeared, looking around vigilantly, their nerves tense, ready to draw their swords and fight at any time.

They are all powerful Soul Douluo in the family. The leader of the personal guards is an elder of the Xingguan Sect and has the cultivation level of a quasi-Title Douluo. He is dedicated to protecting the safety of His Majesty and the princess for a long time.

And now, outsiders have easily broken through the defenses and entered the palace without anyone noticing, as if they were in an empty space. This situation is extremely serious!

If a war breaks out, it means that the other side already has the ability to carry out a decapitation operation.

The leader of the Star Crown Guards held a star-patterned jade in his hand and was considering whether to crush it and quickly call the ancestors of their Star Crown Sect to protect him.

"Poseidon Pavilion?!"

Xu Jiawei was very shocked, but he quickly suppressed his emotions. He waved to the Xingguan guards who rushed into the hall to protect him, and asked them to retreat, saying that the person who came was an elder of the Sea God Pavilion and there was no need to worry.

Xuan Zi appeared with a messy image, holding a wine gourd in one hand and a chicken leg in the other, and said in a muffled voice: "Jiawei, I guess you have also received the news from me, and you can guess that my inspection team has been bombed..."

As an outstanding talent of the family, Xu Jiawei also studied in Shrek Academy for a period of time. Naturally, he respected every elder in Poseidon Pavilion.

"Mr. Xuan, I am deeply saddened that the supervisory group you lead has suddenly encountered such a serious change!" Xu Jiawei was very emotional and looked sad, as if he had encountered the most unfortunate thing in his life.

Xu Jiawei gnashed his teeth and said in hatred: "That evil spirit master who has committed all kinds of evil deserves to die!"

Sure enough, everyone who learned that Xuanzi and his team had encountered such a tragedy, the first thing they thought of was the evil soul master at the Titled Douluo level.

After hearing the first half of Xu Jiawei's words, Xuanzi nodded with satisfaction, thinking that Xu Jiawei was quite sensible.

However, Xu Jiawei's next sentence made Xuan Zi's mouth twitch again.

Whenever he thought of the messenger of death, Xuan Zi couldn't help but exude a murderous aura, but he also came with something, so he could only take out the war merit registration book used exclusively by the Supervisory Group and throw it to the minister beside him to let him speak.

The minister quickly took the registration book, looked at it carefully, and explained to His Majesty the whole story of "Shrek's regular team being blown up by the five-ring evil soul master".

Xuan Zi's forehead turned black when he heard this. He glared at the minister who spoke too bluntly and at Xu Jiawei who was listening more and more seriously, his eyes full of sternness.

“Jiawei, keep the news secret, and then arrange the matchups for the Soul Master Competition according to my next request, and everyone will be safe. If the news is leaked…”

Having said that, Xuan Zi sneered. The consequences of messing up were self-evident.

The minister immediately fell silent. Only those who wanted to die would dare to leak such a thing.

Shrek Academy is the spiritual pillar of the people of Douluo Three Kingdoms. Once this kind of thing gets out, it’s like the spiritual pillar is no longer indestructible. It can be blown apart, and the terrorist harm it brings to the people is unpredictable.

Xu Jiawei looked serious, took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and vowed to Xuanzi: "Don't worry, Boss Xuan, everyone in the palace is my confidant, and they will never leak a single word."

"I thought he was a titled evil soul master, but I didn't expect him to be a five-ring soul king..." Xu Jiawei couldn't help but shudder in disbelief.

Xuan Zi coughed and said, "It's not important, Jiawei. I came to you today for something more important... After this Soul Master Competition, whether Shrek can continue to stabilize the situation of the four countries on the mainland is of great importance!"

Xu Jiawei waved to the ministers and the Xingguan guards hiding in the dark, and said softly: "You all go out, I will talk to Master Xuan."

The Star Crown Guards knew that the elders of the Sea God Pavilion were so powerful that they would never harm His Majesty. If they did, they would not be able to stop them. With a flash of starlight, the ministers and the Star Crown Guards left the hall.

Xuan Zi narrowed his eyes and glanced at the purple-haired girl wearing a long dress with golden star patterns standing to Xu Jiawei's right.

Xu Jiawei smiled and said, "Master Xuan, she is my sister Xu Jiujiu. While participating in the arrangements for the competition, she will also lead my Xingluo Royal Academy team to participate in the competition."

"Jiujiu has to plan the competition herself, so it doesn't affect her listening to the arrangement of the competition."

Xuan Zi nodded slightly. He knew that Xu Jiawei had a younger sister, who was a princess of the Xingluo Empire, but he had no impression of what Xu Jiujiu looked like.

He did not forget that he needed the Medical Immortal Douluo to treat Dai Yuheng: "During this mission, Dai Yuheng lost his left arm and was seriously injured. Elder Zhuang of the Sea God Pavilion of our school has already treated him. I hope the Medical Immortal Douluo can lend a hand again."

"Dai Yuheng is one of the Shrek Seven Devils this year. He can make up for the loss of talent and qualifications. I hope that Yuheng still has a chance to become a Titled Douluo."

Although Xuanzi always makes trouble when leading the team, as an elder of the Poseidon Pavilion and deputy head of the Supervisory Group, he sincerely hopes that his disciples' injuries can get better, and he has to give an explanation to Duke Baihu.

Xu Jiawei would naturally not refuse this matter. Although the Dai family had two of the Shrek Seven Devils, his eldest son had encountered such a thing. Even if Dai Huabin grew up, it would be difficult for the two brothers to pose a threat to his Xu family royal family.

Moreover, he also needs the power of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion to garrison the border, so under the current circumstances, Xu Jiawei should, both morally and logically, retain the young forces of the Dai family as much as possible.

Xu Jiawei nodded and said, "Master Xuan, you don't have to worry about this. Duke Baihu has fought for his country all his life and is loyal to the royal family. He has been stationed at the border for more than ten years. After discussing the competition, I will ask the Medical Immortal Douluo to treat Dai Yueheng as soon as possible."

Xuan Zi nodded in a deep voice. With Xu Jiawei's words and his personal visit, it would not be difficult to get the Medical Immortal Douluo to take action.

The important matter he and Xu Jiawei wanted to discuss was how to make reasonable use of the competition rules so that the Shrek team could win a decent ranking in a fair and just manner.

Xu Jiawei certainly would not pretend to be a gentleman and say, "Ah, this is against the rules. As the organizer, how can we do this behind the scenes..."

The original plan was to have the Shrek team meet the Sun and Moon team in the finals, and the game was manipulated slightly in secret.

Xu Jiawei is not a fool. Would he hold a serious competition just to meet friends? Obviously not. He held this Soul Master Competition for a clear purpose, which is to improve the country's economy and the influence of the Xingluo Empire. Naturally, he would do it in a way that is beneficial to the country.

The other three countries only need to know about this kind of thing and will not say it out loud, because there will always be a time when it will be their turn to host the Soul Master Competition.

Xu Jiawei thought seriously for a moment and asked, "Master Xuan, your Shrek team is facing such a major change, but the Sun and Moon team is still strong."

"The Sun-Moon Team's lineup of one Soul Emperor and six Soul Kings in this Soul Master Competition is no worse than any previous competition. There are even three Soul Kings in the reserve team list they submitted."

Xu Jiawei was also very happy and directly took out the list of students reported by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

The list only contained basic information, and there was no leakage of any secrets. After all, this term's starting team was usually the previous term's reserve team, which was information that other teams had already mastered.

Moreover, most teams would go to great lengths to learn more detailed information about their opponents, such as their specific martial spirits and spirit skills...

Who knows how much preparation each participating team from each academy has made in secret?

Xu Jiawei pointed at the list of the Sun Moon Team's reserve team and named a few people: "Master Xuan, look at these three, Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and Di Ruiqiu. They are only fifteen years old, and they all have the cultivation level of a five-ring soul king."

He took out the latest Shrek entry list that the minister had given him before. The main team also included Soul Sect, which formed a clear contrast.

Xu Jiawei frowned and said, "Your Shrek team really don't plan to provide support? Are you going to follow this list?"

He was somewhat dissatisfied with this. With the talents of the Shrek Academy disciples, they could gather three more Soul Kings to replace the three who died in the battle. Xu Jiawei was sure that this would not be difficult for Shrek at all.

But if Shrek Academy doesn't support him, isn't that just deliberately embarrassing him?
It was obvious that he had an attitude of giving up, and he also wanted him to manipulate the game to help the Shrek team get a good ranking. Xu Jiawei would definitely not agree to this.

“Master Xuan, who in the world doesn’t know that Shrek Academy has a foundation of ten thousand years? It shouldn’t be difficult to gather three more soul kings.”

Xuanzi patted Xu Jiawei's shoulder with a deeper meaning.

"Jiawei, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. This is not my decision, but the decision of the entire Poseidon Pavilion..." Xuanzi paused, and said with more respect, "Including our Pavilion Master, this is also his intention. Let the child face the test of heaven."

"Do you understand, Jiawei?" Xuan Zi said, patting Xu Jiawei's shoulder a little harder.

The trials of heaven...Xu Jiawei's mouth twitched.

Isn't it your fault that led to this tragedy? Now you don't send reinforcements, but you want a good ranking. Aren't you being hypocritical?
Since Shrek is going to participate in the competition with such a shabby lineup, their entire competition group does not have to serve the Shrek team completely.

The original intention was to let the Shrek team defeat the Sun and Moon team in the finals and boost the public's confidence. Therefore, the entire Xingluo official event group was willing to serve Shrek.

But this time, if Shrek doesn’t support them, it will obviously be no match for Sun and Moon.

Well, wouldn’t it be great if our Xingluo Royal Academy team could make it to the finals?

Since Shrek is both in power and independent, there is no need for Xu Jiawei to continue to put the Shrek team first.

Xuan Zi seemed to know what Xu Jiawei was thinking, and laughed: "In this Soul Master Competition of Shrek, we don't force ourselves to win the championship. We win with honor and lose with dignity, just like your Xingluo Royal Team. It's enough to get into the top four."

When they reach the semi-finals, they will take the initiative to announce to the public their righteous act of exterminating the evil soul master before the game.

As long as the fact that the evil soul master only has five rings does not spread, it can be exaggerated appropriately, slightly strengthening the evil soul master to arouse people's empathy.

In this way, even if you choose to withdraw from the competition midway, I believe the general public will understand.

"And we are not without support. We have sent a Level 5 Soul Guidance Master from the Soul Guidance Department. He was originally a disciple of the regular team and is quite powerful. He is here to support the team."

"As long as we get through the first half of the competition, I will decide whether to make a strong effort based on the recovery of my disciples."

Xuan Zi said that even if the ten thousand years of glory was lost this time, they could still regroup in the next Soul Master Competition, win the championship and be crowned with glory again.

His intention was very clear, which was to ask Xing Luo to help the Shrek team for the sake of the continent's number one academy and get through the first half of the competition safely.

If Ma Xiaotao recovers well from her injury, she will strive for the championship; otherwise, she will choose to withdraw from the competition in a dignified manner.

Xu Jiawei narrowed his eyes: "Master Xuan, how respectable do you want the Shrek team to be?"

Xuan Zi hung the wine gourd on his waist, stretched out four fingers, and said with a pleasant face: "I won't force it, just the top four."

"Of course, if Ma Xiaotao recovers well from her injury, it is possible that she will meet the teams from Tianhun and Douling Royal Academy in the semi-finals and advance to the finals."

Xu Jiawei was very angry when he heard this. Sending a disciple from the Soul Guidance Department to fight against the soul guide of the Sun and Moon Team, isn't this kind of support simply disgusting?

He took a long breath and used great willpower to make his tone as calm as possible.

"Master Xuan, is this what you mean by respectability?"

"Yeah." Xuan Zi said as a matter of course: "Jiawei, you have to think about it. If Shrek doesn't challenge the finals, then Xingluo can enter the finals naturally."

He said that even if Xing Luo lost to Riyue in the final, it would still be the runner-up, breaking the previous record.

If the matter of the Five-Ring Evil Soul Master had not been spread, it would have been fine if Sun and Moon had won the championship in the end. How much recognition and value could a championship without Shrek's participation have?

"So, this decision does not benefit our Shrek team at all, but it benefits you Xing Luo a lot."

Xu Jiawei stared at the list in his hand, thinking for a moment, a glimmer flashed in his eyes: "Master Xuan, then I accept this top four, and the rest will depend on you."

"Haha, good! I've already seen that you are a smart person."

Xuan Zi laughed, feeling quite proud that he had finally done something to make up for his sin.
