Douluo Continent: The creation of Jixia Academy made Bibi Dong drool with envy.

Chapter 69 Jixia participates in the Elite Competition, Tang Yin?
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the selection competition for the Tian Dou Division of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament has officially begun.

On this day, the entire city of Doucheng was deserted!

Countless civilians and soul masters flocked from all directions to the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena, located in the center of the city. It had been renovated and expanded to be even more magnificent thanks to the Royal Knights' tireless efforts day and night.

Colorful flags fluttered and the arena was bustling with activity.

A frenzied yet tense atmosphere permeated the air.

Teams from hundreds of advanced soul master academies across various provinces of the Heaven Dou Empire participated amidst the earnest expectations of their parents and the solemn instructions of their instructors.

Wearing distinctive team uniforms, they walked with their heads held high into the battlefield that symbolizes glory and dreams.

The young face radiated youthful vigor, a desire for victory, and... awe of a formidable foe.

Especially when two teams with very different uniform styles, yet both exuding strong confidence and outstanding demeanor, walk side by side into the arena.

The atmosphere in the entire venue instantly reached a boiling point.

"People from Jixia Academy!"

"Oh my god, they're really here, and there are two teams!"

"My God, that team in the moon-white starry outfits must be the legendary Kings Team, right?"
Everyone seems so unfathomable.

"The Xiaochu team behind them should not be underestimated either."

"Have you forgotten how they utterly crushed the other colleges at the encouragement meeting a few days ago?"

"Shh, keep your voice down. I heard the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan was ruined because of offending them..."

Discussing, exclamations, and gasps of surprise rose and fell.

There's no way around it; Jixia Academy has been getting too much attention lately.

First, at the encouragement ceremony at the Royal Training Ground, he wiped out Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen with a single finger, displaying unparalleled divine power.

What followed was the tragic massacre of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family overnight.

Although there is no direct evidence, everyone points to the mysterious and powerful Jixia Academy as the prime suspect.

This colossal entity has actually sent two teams to participate in the All-Continent Soul Master Tournament.

How are the other colleges supposed to compete now?!

In an instant, a sorrowful consensus was reached among all the participating academies in the Heavenly Dou region—

The champion and runner-up have probably already been decided by the Jixia Academy.

The best they can hope for is third place.

In this eerie yet realistic atmosphere, the opening ceremony of the selection competition officially began.

A temporary high platform was erected in the center of the Heaven Dou Great Battle Arena.

Emperor Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire, dressed in a magnificent golden dragon robe, delivered a passionate opening speech once again, surrounded by Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and a host of princes, ministers, and sect leaders.

It was nothing more than empty words of encouragement for young Soul Masters to strive hard and win glory for the empire, as well as emphasizing the fairness and impartiality of the competition.

But this time, his gaze kept drifting, intentionally or unintentionally, toward the VIP seats.

Those two calm and collected instructors from the Jixia Academy—Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi—seemed indifferent to everything.

And behind them were two other outstanding teams that stood out like cranes among chickens.

Emperor Xueye knew in his heart that the real protagonists of today's competition were probably... them.

The opening remarks have ended.

The participating team members from each academy lined up neatly in the designated area below the Arena, according to the order drawn by the competition zone.

The members of the Jixia Kings Team and the Jixia Valiant Team were naturally placed in the most conspicuous and attention-grabbing positions.

Dongfang Yao remained as curious as ever, looking around with wide eyes, occasionally whispering something to Gongsun Li beside him.

Jing closed her eyes to rest, as if all the noise of the outside world had nothing to do with her. She would only slightly open her clear and cold eyes when she felt certain special gazes.

Dugu Yan, Xuan Mo, and the others carefully observed the teams from other academies around them, especially those teams that were highlighted as having Soul Master level experts.

at this time.

Gongsun Li from the King's Team suddenly let out a soft "Eh," tugged at Dongfang Yao's sleeve, and pointed to another team not far away, also dressed in the same uniform.

"Yao, look over there, that group... it looks like..."

Dongfang Yao looked in the direction she pointed and was slightly taken aback.

Not far away, a team wearing somewhat simple but clean and tidy green uniforms stood there rather awkwardly.

And that familiar pattern on their team uniforms…

It's... Shrek Academy?!
They've come to participate in the competition too, and... the team looks pretty complete?

It's important to know that since the battle in the Star Dou Great Forest, Shrek Academy has fallen apart. Tang San, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and others have left the team or gone missing, and Dai Mubai has become utterly dejected...

Everyone thought that Shrek Academy was completely finished.

But who would have thought that they could actually... reorganize a team to participate in the All-Continent Soul Master Tournament?!

Those two guys, Flander and Liu Erlong, are actually quite capable.

The students of Jixia Academy couldn't help but be drawn to the "new" Shrek Academy team.

They saw Flander and Liu Erlong standing at the front of the group, looking at them with complicated expressions.

Behind them, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun were also prominently featured.

However… the three of them didn’t seem to be in good spirits, especially Dai Mubai, who still looked dejected and depressed.

but.

Surprisingly.

Even without those three important female members, Shrek Academy's team still has a complete roster.

Besides Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun, who are familiar faces, there are three other trainees who look somewhat unfamiliar.

And standing in the very center of the group, clearly in the captain's position...

Surprisingly, he was tall and had long, sea-blue hair, though his face was ordinary.

But the young man had unusually bright eyes and an aura far surpassing that of his companions.

This blue-haired boy looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, but the soul power fluctuations emanating from him had reached the level of a four-ring Soul Master.

Moreover, his aura was... calm and restrained, yet it carried a hint of... barely perceptible sharpness and... coldness.
"Huh, who's that guy?"
When did Shrek Academy have such a person?

Dongfang Yao stroked his chin, curiously examining the long-haired blue man.

"He looks... kind of handsome, but he's still far from being as good as this genius!"

"do not know."

Jing glanced at it briefly before looking away, her tone remaining cold.

"The aura is a bit strange."

Gongsun Li, Dugu Yan, and the others also looked puzzled.

They could all see that this long-haired blue man was definitely the core and soul of this "new" Shrek Academy team.

His strength is probably no less than Dai Mubai's, and may even be... greater!
It's no wonder that Shrek Academy, after experiencing such a huge upheaval, was still able to successfully pass the previous elimination rounds and advance to this final selection round.

It seems that the captain with long blue hair named Tang Yin deserves a lot of credit!
only…

For some reason, the people from Jixia Academy felt a strange sense of familiarity when they looked at Tang Yin.

Especially in the depths of his bright eyes, there occasionally flashes a... indescribable complex emotion.
