Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 125 Xuan Zi: It is not difficult to defend the title as a regular. I have been preparing to be the strongest in a hundred years. The future advantage lies with me!

While the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy was conducting team coordination, other academies thousands of miles away were also making their usual pre-match preparations.

Shrek Academy, Poseidon Island.

"Teacher, I beg you, please let me join the academy team and participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition."

Ma Xiaotao looked at Yan Shaozhe, whose face was sallow, with hope and said pleadingly.

Yan Shaozhe coughed twice, his breath weak, and said, "Xiao Tao, it's not that I don't want you to go out, but your evil fire has not been completely controlled yet. You are too dangerous like this, we can't let you go."

"But haven't you already found an expert to help me suppress the evil fire? I don't think the current condition is a big problem. Teacher, I can handle it."

Ma Xiaotao wanted to fight for it again, saying, "Teacher, you know me well. I have been practicing in Shrek since I was a child. Shrek is my home. To defend Shrek's eternal glory, I will definitely defeat all Shrek opponents in the arena."

She raised her fist and said, "Whoever dares to stop our Shrek team from winning the championship will be roasted into a suckling pig!"

Yan Shaozhe smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Xiao Tao, it was decided long ago that you couldn't participate in the competition because your evil fire hadn't been eliminated; this would have been the case even if the accident with the Haotian Sect hadn't happened."

"After the accident, my teacher, your master's grandfather, proposed at a meeting at the Sea God Pavilion that you be confined to the island for five years. You are not allowed to leave the island except to hunt for spirit rings. This proposal was passed unanimously by the Sea God Pavilion."

Ma Xiaotao's face fell. "Ah? Teacher, you won't even talk to me? I really didn't mean to hurt them that time. I just wanted to force out the guardian behind them."

"I didn't expect that just when I was about to release him, the guardian didn't show up and seriously injured me. Later, the Haotian Sect also..."

Yan Shaozhe's face was filled with pain. He raised his hand and said, "There's no need to talk about this matter. I know it's not all your fault, but the matter is done. Neither I nor the elders dare to let you out again. That Soul Master can only suppress the evil fire for you temporarily, but cannot eradicate it."

"The main team has Dai Yueheng, the Soul Emperor, leading the team. They also have five Inner Court Soul Kings and a Soul Instructor. The team is strong enough to defend the title."

Ma Xiaotao curled her lips at this. "Dai Yueheng's strength is alright, and I have a rough idea of ​​the other five people, but why let a soul engineer join the team? Isn't it true that everyone in our team is indispensable, but soul engineers are dispensable?"

"It's your master who wants to support the Soul Guidance Department. I have to make some concessions."

Yan Shaozhe sighed, "I really can't help you with your participation in the competition. Unless a major accident happens to the participating team, you will have a chance to make up for it, but that's impossible. In previous competitions, Master Xuan would always follow them to ensure their safety."

Ma Xiaotao lowered her head, turned away with a frustrated look on her face, and said, "Teacher, I understand. I'm going to practice now."

The selected team has the protection of Xuan Lao, the ninety-eighth level Super Douluo, and they will surely go to Xingluo safely and kill everyone, and return with glory as the champion.

Not being able to fight for Shrek in the arena is a very uncomfortable feeling for a pure Shrek person like Ma Xiaotao.

……

Outer courtyard.

The Taotie*, with a chicken leg in one hand and a wine jug in the other, and his clothes tattered and covered in oil, behaved like the Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Sect. Douluo Xuanzi took a very comfortable posture, lying in the rest area of ​​the fighting arena, moving his ears slightly, listening to Wang Yan's report.

“Master Xuan, in our Shrek Outer Court, there are four people under the age of fifteen who are four-ringed soul masters. They are Beibei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan from the Martial Soul Department, and He Caitou from the Soul Guidance Department.

Among them, Xu Sanshi has the highest cultivation level, already at level 47, followed closely by Beibei at level 46; Jiang Nannan and He Caitou are both new to the Soul Sect.

"As for those below Soul Sect, the situation is quite special. Aside from Xiao Xiao, the second-year student you already selected, who will join the reserve team, the final two candidates are still difficult to confirm. The senior students are not very strong, and there are quite a few talented second-year students..."

"People like White Tiger Dai Huabin, Qibao Ningtian, Pipi Xiang Xie Huanyue, the Lan sisters who possess the spirit fusion technique, Haotian Wang Dong, the twin Xiaoxiao, Tang Sect's Huo Yuhao... they are all top-notch talents."

Wang Yan adjusted his glasses and continued, "I personally recommend the second-year students Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao."

Xuan Zi's eyelids suddenly lifted, and his voice was indifferent, even a hint of disdain: "The two of them? I remember they didn't do well in the freshman competition last year, right? After being promoted to the second grade, these two have only crossed the threshold of level 30 and level 20 respectively?"

"Xiao Wang, are you confused because Wang Dong is the young master of the Haotian Sect and Huo Yuhao is his true spirit? That's totally wrong."

As he spoke, Xuanzi's tone became heavier.

Wang Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied with a smile, "Master Xuan, I certainly have my reasons for saying this. First, as you said, both of these children have great potential. Wang Dong is the young master of the Clear Sky Sect, so she must possess the Clear Sky Hammer spirit. This means that she, like Xiao Xiao, is a genius with twin spirits."

The symbol of Haotian Sect is Haotian Hammer. It would be impossible for Wang Dong to become the young master of Haotian Sect without Haotian Hammer.

"Huo Yuhao's spirit is also worth cultivating. His spirit eye spirit is extremely precious. After completing the second awakening, his achievements will surely be extremely high. He is now at level 23, eight levels higher than before he entered school.

And you may have also heard that Huo Yuhao set a record in the Soul Guidance Department by becoming a first-level Soul Guidance Master, and the Soul Guidance Department has officially granted him the status of a core disciple."

"Most importantly, after these two children came back this semester, they actually showed signs of being able to perform spirit fusion techniques! And the degree of spirit fusion is extremely high!"

Hearing about the "Martial Soul Fusion Technique", a symbol of being invincible in the same level and undefeated across levels, a glimmer of light finally flashed across Xuanzi's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

He flung a chicken leg bone away and smacked his lips, "Soul fusion skills don't explain everything. Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu also have soul fusion skills. Xiao Wang, you should know that their soul power is much higher than Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao, and their power is far greater than theirs."

He took a sip of his drink and continued, "And while Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao cultivate quickly, is Dai Huabin slower? Shaozhe and I noticed their team after they won the Freshman Competition." "Dai Huabin's soul power reached level 37 at the start of the new semester. Considering he's less than thirteen, this level of cultivation is among the highest in our academy's history."

"At the treasure appreciation meeting, the academy invested a ten-thousand-year-old tiger king soul bone in him. His soul power has broken through again and reached level thirty-eight. This is the level of the strongest second-year student."

"Zhu Lu is also a Soul Master. With their combined soul power, the power of the Netherworld White Tiger could rival that of some Soul Kings. Can Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao's soul fusion skills do the same?"

Wang Yan was speechless for a moment: "I haven't fought them in actual combat yet, but the power of their martial soul fusion technique is definitely enormous. I think it's enough to threaten a high-level soul master..."

"Then forget it. I don't think I'll have to worry about the last two spots. Those senior Soul Masters are useless, so I'll give them to Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu!"

Xuan Zi waved his hand and made a decision.

Wang Yan showed hesitation. "Master Xuan, wouldn't this be unfair? Should we let them have a few big fights on the fighting arena?"

Xuan Zi hummed softly and said, "According to convention, the second-year students will not be able to participate in the Soul Fighting Arena Grand Brawl. Whether this grand brawl counts or not is entirely up to me. If I'm interested, then I'm interested. Who dares to say it's unfair?"

"And am I wrong? Which two students could do better than Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu?"

Wang Yan thought for a moment and said tentatively, "Master Xuan, Qibao Ningtian's support ability is also very strong. Should we consider her as well? I think the role she can play is no less than that of Youming Baihu. The main team also has Gongyang Mo as a support."

"What do you know? Come here." Xuan Zi waved his hand. Wang Yan did not dare to be negligent and stepped forward and bowed his head.

"I will teach you today. When faced with such a situation, you must learn to consider the interests of the academy."

Considering that Wang Yan is his disciple, Xuanzi decided to take it seriously and teach this disciple how to gain benefits for Shrek.

"In terms of strength, Xiao Xiao is far from qualified to participate. Why let her participate? It's because of her twin martial spirits!
She comes from a humble family and is likely to stay at Shrek. If we train her well, she'll definitely become a Super Douluo. Why shouldn't I choose Ning Tian, ​​who can be more effective? Because as the Young Master of the Nine Treasures, there's no way she can stay at the academy. She's a level away from us!"

"The same goes for Dai Huabin. His brother, Dai Yueheng, is the captain of the regular team and much older than him. If he returns to the Xingluo Empire first, he will be able to quickly take over Dai Hao's military power."

"Dai Huabin is still a few years away from graduation. By the time he returns, the opportunity will have faded. He won't be able to take the position of Duke of White Tiger. He'll be disheartened by then. Where will he choose to go?"

"Our college?" Wang Yan asked with his eyes wide open.

"Yes!" Xuan Zi smiled with satisfaction and continued:

"Dai Huabin is a Super Douluo Seed, and he and Zhu Lu have a martial soul fusion technique. Zhu Lu's cultivation doesn't need to be high, as long as she reaches the level of Titled Douluo, the Netherworld White Tiger of the two of them will be invincible below level 96."

"The academy has invested a ten thousand year soul bone in each of them. It's impossible not to give them the honor of the Shrek Seven Devils at this time."

In a word, the sunk costs are huge, and Shrek’s top management can no longer let go.

If they had not considered the influence of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion and Dai Huabin's powerful talent, they would not have been willing to give Dai Huabin a top-level soul bone almost for free; the soul bone given by the champion of the freshman competition was also considered.

Dai Yueheng will be preparing to graduate after the competition. He will join the army with his Shrek resume, and with his family background, he will soon be able to join the military's top ranks.

Considering Dai Hao's record of becoming the commander of the Western Legion at the age of 23, perhaps by the time Dai Huabin graduates from Shrek, Dai Yueheng will have already become the deputy commander of the Western Legion or the commander of the Northern Legion...

With such a huge first-mover disadvantage, Dai Huabin could not win even if he tried his best; and apart from his talent in cultivation, his temperament and personality could not match that of the mature and steady Dai Yueheng.

But if Dai Huabin suddenly found out that he couldn't inherit the family business, Shrek would show him the warmth of family...

Wouldn't this trap both him and Zhu Lu? Shrek doesn't need you to understand the ways of the world, just be able to fight.

Wang Yan's face was greatly moved, and he said with sincere admiration, "Master Xuan is wise."

No wonder Dean Yan often told himself that Old Xuan was never confused when it came to major events, and his wisdom should not be underestimated. He was truly cunning and shrewd in these calculations...

The dignified elder of the Sea God Pavilion is definitely not a waste whose brain has been rotten by alcohol!

"But Master Xuan, are you really not going to consider Wang Dong, Ning Tian, ​​and the others anymore? I think that's a shame. How about letting them go to the Xing Luo Empire and be a spectator?
This will also prevent them from being dissatisfied or having conflicts with Xiao Xiao. After all, Xiao Xiao's soul power is indeed a bit weak now, not even a soul master...right?"

Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu were members of the champion team of the Freshman Competition. No one would object to choosing them. Xiao Xiao, a genius from the top 16 team, was selected into the reserve team. Anyone with a discerning eye could see Shrek's selfish motives.

Xuan Zi thought about it, nodded, and waved his hand: "Alright then, let them go and see the excitement and gain some experience. Any second-year core disciple who wants to go is welcome to go."

Of course, the heart of Xiao Xiao, the future ally, must be won over so that she will willingly devote her life to Shrek, but the relationship of alliance must also be taken into consideration, even if the Haotian Sect cannot be called an ally at all now.

"You take care of the rest. I'm going to go drink. But I want to see the Shrek school emblem appear on the championship podium as always!"

Xuanzi walked away unsteadily, humming a little tune in his throat, feeling happy.

It is not difficult for the main team to defend the title. This reserve team is arguably the most talented team in Shrek's history of a hundred years. The future advantage lies with me!
