Peerless Tang Sect: Hurricane Infinite Wind

Chapter 80 Star Luo City

Shrek Academy.

Old Xuan, with disheveled hair and reeking of alcohol, was sitting on the steps at the entrance of the Sea God Pavilion, holding a wine gourd in his right hand and pouring wine into his mouth continuously.

"Master Xuan! The children's conditions have stabilized and will not affect their future cultivation. Please don't blame yourself." Yan Shaozhe pushed open the door of Poseidon Pavilion and comforted him.

Upon hearing the news, Old Xuan finally put down the wine jug and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shaozhe! How long will it take for the children to recover?" Old Xuan asked with his back to Yan Shaozhe.

Yan Shaozhe said respectfully, "Master Zhuang has personally examined it. Yao Haoxuan's injuries are quite serious and will probably need about seventy days to recover. As for Gong Yangmo and Xixi, if they recover better, they should only need about twenty days."

Elder Zhuang's martial spirit is the Tree of Life. Among the elders of the Seagod Pavilion, his status is second only to Elder Mu, Elder Xuan, and Elder Lin. He is also the only Super Douluo in the Seagod Pavilion who specializes in healing. His diagnostic results are authoritative.

"Master Xuan, do you think we need to send other students to participate in this competition? If you provide your full escort, there should still be enough time." Yan Shaozhe asked.

Elder Xuan shook his head dejectedly. "Shaozhe, I just had a personal chat with Elder Mu. He suggested that we let those little guys perform as they please in this competition."

Yan Shaozhe frowned: "Master Xuan, isn't this too hasty?"

Elder Xuan shook his head and said, "This time I support Elder Mu's decision. Over the years, our Shrek Academy has been too immersed in the glory of the past. Failure is not terrible, but complacency is. This experience has sounded the alarm for us. Although I still believe that traditional spirit masters have more advantages after their spirits have been cultivated to the Titled Douluo realm, we cannot completely deny the role of spirit guides."

"So what do you two elders mean?" Yan Shaozhe felt that he had a bad premonition.

Looking at Yan Shaozhe, Elder Xuan paused and continued, "In recent decades, soul guides have developed rapidly, almost changing with each passing day. Just like this incident, if every one of us inner court disciples was equipped with a defensive soul guide, do you think the results would be much better? At the very least, it wouldn't be as bad as it is now."

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe nodded and agreed with what Master Xuan said.

Seeing Yan Shaozhe nod, Elder Xuan continued, "Elder Mu and I have decided that from now on, Shrek students, both in the inner and outer courtyards, will need to add a soul guide operation course. They don't need to know how to make it, just how to use it. Equipped with defensive soul guides and flying soul guides, the children will not be so passive when performing surveillance tasks and facing the self-detonation counterattack of evil soul masters at the end of their lives. Elder Mu and I have already decided on the specific plan, and next, Elder Mu will personally convene a meeting of the Sea God Pavilion to explain it."

Hearing Master Xuan's last words, Yan Shaozhe's heart suddenly lifted. It was already decided and it was obviously impossible to change it. He understood that this time Shrek Academy might undergo a major transformation.

Star Luo City.

As the capital of the Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City is undoubtedly the largest city in the empire and the political, cultural, and economic center of the Star Luo Empire. It has the title of the imperial capital that will never fall.

The walls of Xingluo City stand a hundred meters high and a terrifying hundred meters thick, constructed entirely of solid rock. They cover an area exceeding one thousand square kilometers, stretching over a hundred miles in both length and width. The widest main road can accommodate sixteen carriages traveling in both directions simultaneously. And that's just the outer city. The heart of the city lies in the center of Xingluo City, the Inner City. It's nine hundred sixty meters long, seven hundred meters wide, and boasts a twenty-meter-high wall. It's truly a city within a city. This palace was built when the White Tiger Duke's lineage was still a royal family. After numerous renovations, it has grown in size and become even more magnificent.

The permanent population of Xingluo City exceeds 8 million, and including outsiders, the maximum population can reach 20 million.

But for such a big city, it seems a little crowded recently. The number of tourists increased dramatically in just half a month. All hotels were almost full, forcing the authorities to requisition some residential buildings and open some official mansions as temporary residences for tourists. The number of soldiers maintaining order in the city has also increased significantly.

There is only one reason for such a big change. A grand event that occurs every five years, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition is about to be held in Xingluo City.

You must know that there are four major empires in the mainland, and the continent's advanced soul master academy soul fighting competitions are held in the imperial capitals of each country in turn. Therefore, Xingluo City would have to wait twenty years for another round. How could such a grand occasion not attract people from the Star Luo Empire to come and watch it?
The venue for the competition is in Xingluo Square in front of the Imperial City of Xingluo City. Xingluo Square is very large and can accommodate the largest number of spectators. It is said that for this competition alone, 30,000 soldiers were mobilized in the city to maintain order. Among them, 10,000 soldiers are responsible for duty in Xingluo Square.

Not far to the east of Xingluo Square, there is a seven-story hotel. This hotel, called Xinghuang, is owned by the royal family. This time, it was specially set aside to receive contestants from advanced soul master academies or soul instructor students from various countries.

As the defending champion and the number one soul master academy in the mainland, the participating team members of Shrek Academy were arranged in the luxurious rooms on the top floor. Not only does each person have a bedroom, there is also a dedicated conference room for them to use.

At this time, all eleven team members plus the teacher Wang Yan who led the team were sitting in the conference room, holding a pre-game mobilization meeting.

They arrived in Star Luo City yesterday, which was considered very late among participating colleges. However, as the defending champion and the number one college in the mainland, in the eyes of others, this was just because of the pride of Shrek College.

Wang Yan sat at the head of the table, flanked by the slightly pale Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yuheng, Chen Zifeng, and Ling Luochen. Although their condition had improved slightly with medication, their injuries had worsened after the long journey. Ling Luochen and Chen Zifeng, originally expected to recover within five or six days, were no longer viable.

Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yuheng are in better condition and their injuries have not worsened.

The registration period for the academy ends today. Wang Yan has already registered with the organizer of the competition, and the academy has not sent any reinforcements, which clearly means that the reserve team will take over.

Looking at the eleven students in the conference room, Wang Yan said, "Next, I will first explain to you the rules of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition."

"The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition is the ultimate battle among academies from all over the world. Based on the principles of fairness and justice, the competition is based on the comprehensive strength of each academy. Therefore, the competition format is also the most diverse and flexible."

"I checked today and found out there are a total of 133 students from the Advanced Soul Master and Advanced Soul Instructor Academies participating in the competition. They're all staying in this hotel. The first round of the preliminary round is a direct elimination round, meaning the losing team will be eliminated immediately. The first round will be a team battle, seven versus seven. The draw will be held tomorrow. It's expected that the first round will take three days to complete."

"The groups will be divided into groups after the first round, with about eight or nine teams in each group. A round robin will be held. During the round robin, a random competition system will be adopted. There are three situations in the random competition system, one is a single elimination system, and the second There are three, two, and two cooperative battle modes. The third is a seven-on-seven team battle. This will test the overall strength. Each game must be drawn and then played. Which mode is drawn will determine Which way the game is played. It is the best test of overall strength."

"We'll discuss these modes next time. Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yuheng are weak but can still play. The team battles will be handed over to the reserves first. If we're truly defeated, then the competition will be yours. Even if your injuries worsen a bit, you must ensure you advance in the first round. As long as we make it through this round of eliminations and the first two rounds of the round-robin tournament, Chen Zifeng and Ling Luochen's injuries will be fully recovered. Our biggest disadvantage will be gone forever, and Xiaotao and the others can rest assured and recover."
