Unrivaled Tang Sect: Xiao Ding Zhen Tian

Chapter 132 How did the people from Shrek and Sun and Moon get together?

Compared to the private room in the restaurant that Dai Yuheng had taken them to, the private room in this barbecue restaurant undoubtedly looked a lot more shabby.

The tables and chairs are all the most ordinary wooden tables, and even the walls are snow-white. However, someone must clean them every day, so the walls look quite clean.

After they were seated, Nanmen Yuner and Xiao Xiao sat on both sides of Xiao Yun, Dugu Jing sat next to Xiao Xiao, and Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong and Meng Hongchen sat on the other side.

From this point, Huo Yuhao could tell that the relationship between Nanmen Yuner and Xiao Yun was definitely not ordinary.

"Xiao Yun, is this girl your girlfriend?" Out of curiosity, Huo Yuhao asked Xiao Yun this question.

"Yes, we are childhood sweethearts." Xiao Yun nodded. He had no intention of hiding anything, although he could vaguely feel that there was something wrong with the way Meng Hongchen looked at him.

Hearing Xiao Yun's words, Meng Hongchen's bright eyes obviously trembled slightly.

The mood was visibly depressed.

Does he already have a girlfriend?
That’s right, for a man as outstanding as him, it would be unreasonable not to have a girlfriend, right?

Xiao Yun didn't know what Meng Hongchen was thinking at the moment. To him, Meng Hongchen was just a new acquaintance, not even a friend. In other words, he didn't take the tensions between countries that seriously. If it were someone else, they would have turned a cold eye on Meng Hongchen.

"Little brother, these are the live fish we just bought today. They were caught from the freshwater lake and delivered directly to the store." At this time, the boss personally walked into the box carrying a large plate. The plate was filled with freshly processed fish piled up like a small mountain.

As an expert, Huo Yuhao only took a glance and nodded repeatedly, "It is indeed a good fish. It will definitely taste great if it is grilled."

"Let's get started. Is there anything I can help you with?" Xiao Yun asked.

Huo Yuhao smiled and shook his head. “No, if you help me, you will make mistakes. Just leave it to me and Wang Dong.”

Wang Dong rolled his eyes. "I thought I came here to enjoy myself, but I didn't expect that I would still have to work as a laborer for you."

“Okay, I’ll grill two more for you later. You’ve worked hard.” Huo Yuhao consoled with a smile. It was fine for others, but Xiao Yun heard a hint of a boy coaxing a girl in his words. He didn’t know if it was because of his preconceived notions.

However, it seems that Huo Yuhao should not know Wang Dong’s identity. If he and Wang Dong still have the spirit fusion skill, the one he likes now should be the so-called "sister" in Wang Dong’s mouth.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were grilling fish, while Xiao Yun was chatting casually with Xiao Xiao and the others.

Obviously, Huo Yuhao grilled the fish very quickly, and soon the whole box was filled with the aroma.

He handed the two grilled fish to Wang Dong and Xiao Yun respectively. From this, it can be seen that for Huo Yuhao, the two most important friends in his heart are Wang Dong and Xiao Yun.

Of course, at present, Xiao Yun is treated with more courtesy and gratitude, unlike Wang Dong, who is a true brother.

He took the grilled fish from Huo Yuhao and put it to his mouth, tearing off a piece of the charred fish meat. The grilled flavor and the deliciousness of the fish itself were fully integrated together.

Xiao Yun's appetite was not small to begin with, and this bite instantly aroused his appetite.

Although there were many kinds of breakfast at Xinghuang Hotel and Xiao Yun ate quite a bit, there was still a long time before lunchtime, but the grilled fish was really appetizing.

Even Xiao Xiao, Nanmen Yuner, and Meng Hongchen were full of praise after eating the grilled fish and kept praising Huo Yuhao.

Meng Hongchen was relatively okay, after all, she was also a frequent customer of Huo Yuhao's grilled fish stall in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. On the contrary, the two girls, Xiao Xiao and Nanmen Yuner, had their appetites expanded by Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao was concentrating on doing what he was doing. From time to time, Wang Dong would put the grilled fish or meat near Huo Yuhao's mouth and let him bite it and eat it.

Fortunately, there were no people like Yao Haoxuan and Chen Zifeng among the people present, otherwise they would have started to make a fuss after seeing this scene.

"I feel like after this barbecue, I won't be able to eat anything at noon." Xiao Yun burped for the first time, touched his stomach, and looked at the two girls and Dugu Jing beside him, "Are you full? If not, I'll order something else."

"No need. I've eaten so much that my stomach is already full. Can you touch it, brother?" Xiaoxiao blinked and said with a sweet smile.

“Forget it.” Xiao Yun smiled and shook his head, then looked at Huo Yuhao, “I’ll give you something else. You’ve been busy until now and haven’t eaten much. We are all the same age, so we can’t show favoritism.”

"Okay, thanks."

"We are all friends, there is no need to thank or not."

After Huo Yuhao had eaten his fill, Xiao Yun was about to pay the bill, but Meng Hongchen got there first.

"I am also a senior, so I can't let the juniors pay for the meal." Meng Hongchen smiled at Xiao Yun, and looked exactly the same as before, as if she had never heard of the relationship between Xiao Yun and Nammun Yoona. "Ms. Meng, you are the guest, so I should pay." Xiao Yun did not agree directly, but thought for a while and spoke.

Meng Hongchen glared at Xiao Yun in feigned anger, "We're having dinner together, why are you still so polite? Also, from now on, you can just call me Meng, or Sister Meng. Miss Meng feels a bit distant."

Xiao Yun touched the tip of his nose and was about to say, "Shouldn't we be polite to each other?" But when he saw the fluctuations in Meng Hongchen's eyes, he suddenly took back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

"Okay, Sister Meng, I'll pay for this meal. After all, we don't need that much." Xiao Yun said, and handed the soul coin card directly to the boss, but the latter shook his head and rejected Xiao Yun.

"Little brothers, this meal is treated to you by your uncle. You should have another game in a few days, and your uncle will go to watch it. You must do your best!" said the boss with a big laugh.

After much persuasion from the boss, Xiao Yun reluctantly accepted the meal for free.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they went straight back to the Xinghuang Hotel. As soon as they walked into the hotel lobby, the looks of many people in the team changed when they saw them.

Damn, how did the people from Shrek and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy get together?
Haven't these two always been enemies?

Did they make peace secretly?
impossible!

Xiao Yun naturally ignored the looks of these people, especially the eyes of some girls who were secretly expressing their feelings for him, which were simply ignored by him.

Yeah, I'm used to it.

Pushing open the door of the box, Xiao Yun saw the main team, Bei Bei and others sitting in various corners of the box.

"You're finally back. Oh my god, why do you smell so good?" Yao Haoxuan came close to Xiao Yun, sniffed him, and then screamed in surprise.

"Didn't I tell you that my friend from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy is going to make grilled fish for us? Isn't this the taste of barbecue?" Xiao Yun found a place to sit down and answered.

Yao Haoxuan curled his lips and said, "You are talking nonsense. It's not like I haven't eaten barbecue before. I have been to more than a dozen barbecue restaurants in my hometown, Douling Empire, and they are definitely not as delicious as yours."

"Brother, next time something like this happens, remember to ask me to go with you."

"We'll talk about it later. What did you gain from staying there and watching the remaining teams' games?" Xiao Yun naturally changed the subject and asked.

Ma Xiaotao took over the conversation at this time, "It's just as we thought. Except for the weaker teams that sent all their main players, the other academies with some strength all sent out reserve players, and almost all of them hid their strength. However, we also know the main players of the stronger teams this time. They are the reserve players of the previous Soul Master Competition. At present, except for Sun and Moon, other academies are not a threat to us."

"Xiao Tao is right, but this time Sun and Moon have hidden their strength very well. The members of the regular team all have excellent soul guides, and everyone present is a traditional soul master who doesn't know much about soul guides. The Sun and Moon Empire has devoted a lot of effort to the research of traditional soul masters like us. In terms of intelligence warfare, we are lagging behind them, to be frank."

"Especially Meng Hongchen and her brother Xiao Hongchen, who just had dinner with Xiao Yun. These two can be said to be the most mysterious two people in the Sun Moon team. We have almost no information about them, but I have secretly observed that the players of the Sun Moon regular team seem to have a special awe for Xiao Hongchen."

At this point, Wang Yan paused for a moment, and then continued, "But we also have our own hidden players. Xiao Tao and Yue Heng are not to be mentioned. Now Xiao Yun gives everyone the impression of being a control-type spirit master, but in fact, he can also be a defense-type spirit master, as well as his best offensive spirit master."

"Although Xiao Yun used several soul skills, except for the clone skill, the effects of other soul skills are well concealed. Perhaps the opponent can guess the approximate effect of his soul skills through some changes. But even so, with their cultivation base of level 40 or 50, can they resist the terrifying weight of Xiao Yun's giant tripod?"

What Wang Yan said was right, so the Shrek people were not nervous at all.

The preliminaries lasted for three days in total. Because of the random combination, some academies that were strong but unlucky enough to encounter strong opponents were eliminated directly. On the contrary, some academies that were lucky but average in strength stayed and successfully advanced to the formal knockout round.

The audience in Xingluo City who had watched the game were also very excited. Every night, people would line up in advance because although Xingluo Square was large, it had limited capacity and could not meet the needs of the people.

In order to control the crowds, the Star Luo Empire raised the entrance fee. It was another big profit. Of course, the rewards for this competition were also paid by the Star Luo Empire. This was the case for every competition. But there were no clear regulations on the rewards. It was just that no country would trample on its own face, and would always come up with some good things.

Why is the first round of the competition a knockout system? In addition to reducing the number of participating colleges, it is also to make the competition more exciting and intense!

The All Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition has now become the most important official event held by all the continental countries. Only exciting competitions can keep this event popular. The continental event that takes place once every five years naturally needs to be promoted to the top in various ways.

The elimination system made the competition extremely exciting and intense. Although the officials tried their best to avoid casualties, after the first round of eliminations, nearly 200 contestants were still injured to varying degrees. There were even more than a dozen students who died due to serious injuries. The slightly bloody scene naturally greatly enhanced the viewing experience. Of course, all students who died accidentally in battle will also receive a very generous pension from the Xingluo Empire officials.

After the knockout rounds, the second round of round-robin matches will follow. Although the round-robin matches are not as intense as the knockout rounds, they have their own advantages, which are the rich and different rules of the game. The three game modes are determined by drawing lots. It can be said that every game has different excitement.

Moreover, after the first round of elimination, the remaining college teams will be stronger. The competition is naturally exciting. This resulted in Xingluo Plaza, which can accommodate more than 200,000 people, finding it hard to get a ticket. Every day the area around Xingluo Square is jammed with traffic. Even those who failed to queue up to enter did not leave and continued to queue for the next day. And the people who watched the game on the first day, even the richest people, would not be able to line up on the second day. This is fair treatment.

Faced with this situation, the royal family of the Star Luo Empire naturally laughed from ear to ear, and sent another five thousand elite soldiers into the city to maintain order. At the same time, battle reports began to be sold in an official way. A new battle report will appear every day, and the selling price is only a few copper coins, but there are so many people buying it! Detailed battle reports for each game are sold, which is another source of income.

However, the Xingluo Empire was also very good at dealing with people. Even for those colleges that were eliminated, the Xingluo Empire paid for their round-trip travel and accommodation expenses, and also provided a certain amount of subsidies. The injured were treated, and the dead were compensated. Coupled with the enthusiastic audience and good order of this competition, the three-day competition won praise from almost all participating colleges. It can be said that they both gained benefits and earned face.

Today was the fourth day of the competition. Early in the morning, the shouts of the audience had been echoing in the Xingluo Square. There was only one reason, that was, today, the Shrek Academy team that they most wanted to see was going to play again. And it would be in the first game. Even the Emperor of the Xingluo Empire, who only occasionally came to the top of the city to watch the game, climbed up to the top of the city early in the morning and waited. This gave Shrek Academy a great deal of face!
