In Douluo Continent, what is a martial soul? It's like Luckin Coffee.

Chapter 247 The Abnormal Aying, Let Xiaoxue Lead the Team

"Divine Child, is this the respectable job you were talking about?"

As Lei Dianying spoke, he popped a lemon slice that Yae Shinko had just cut into his mouth.

"Don't eat that stuff..."

The word "sour" was not uttered yet.

But Lei, who had eaten the lemon slices, seemed completely unaffected, not even flinching.

Yae no Miko: I'm so lucky, I almost forgot that A-Ying isn't normal at all.

After all, what normal person would stick out their tongue to taste the rainwater instead of finding shelter from it?

"Sigh~"

Perhaps it's because the reaction time is relatively long.

After several seconds, and having swallowed the entire lemon slice, Lei Yingdian grinned and said, "Shin-chan, this stuff doesn't taste good."

"Who told you this stuff tastes good?"

"But you put this stuff in the drink you gave me last night."

"This stuff is only for seasoning."

Seasoning, you know?

After explaining for a long time, Lei still didn't quite understand.

Thinking of Lei's terrible cooking skills, Yae no Miko immediately felt relieved.

Yae no Miko: No, with Aying's culinary talent, did the manager bring her in as an employee to help relieve his work pressure or to put pressure on me?
Although he had the perfect recipe for lemonade in his mind, as the saying goes, he learned it in his brain but not in his hands, and Lei Movie was exactly that kind of person.

It was almost time for the morning business hours, and Yae no Miko didn't have time to teach Ray how to make lemonade.

So we decided to have her go to the entrance to maintain order in the shop.

The more guests there are, the more likely it is that order problems will occur.

……

On the other side, Xingluo Square.

Today is the second day of the round-robin tournament.

After the first day of competition, the audience's attention to Shrek Academy has not been as high as before.

The reason is simple: the group Shrek Academy was assigned to consisted entirely of ordinary academies, and not even one of the former top sixteen academies.

A low-quality competition like this, which doesn't even have a Soul King-level player, naturally won't attract viewers.

In contrast, the matches in the so-called "group of death" are more popular with the audience.

Whether it's the Sun Moon Royal Academy, the Star Luo National Academy, or the Imperial Academy and the Fighting Spirit Royal Academy, they are all the top seed academies of their respective empires.

Furthermore, the group also includes the second seed from the Sun Moon Empire, the Mingdu Royal Academy.

In particular, the match yesterday in which Mingdu Royal Academy almost defeated Xingluo National Academy has made the discussion about the "group of death" far more heated than the other seven groups.

The first match of the morning was between Sun Moon Royal Academy and Imperial Academy in the Group of Death.

Compared to Xingluo National Academy, Di'ao Academy is clearly stronger.

Because Di'ao Academy is one of the few teams in this competition to have a Soul Emperor-level player.

Of course, the Sun Moon Royal Academy also has Soul Emperor-level players, and one of them is a Level 6 Soul Master.

Besides these two academies, only Shrek Academy has a Soul Emperor-level player.

However, Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng were in dire straits. One of them was seriously injured but still went out and wandered around all day, while the other was so angry with his younger brother that he vomited blood when he went home to visit him, which further aggravated his injuries.

Whether I'll be able to represent the college in the finals is still uncertain.

Compared to the uncertainty surrounding Shrek Academy.

Today's match between two academies boasting Soul Emperor-level players has garnered unprecedented attention. Before the match, there were even claims that "this game is a preview of the finals."

As for Xingluo National Academy?

Yesterday's match almost saw them upset by the Mingdu Royal Academy.

Therefore, the original prediction of Xingluo National Academy winning the championship has dropped from 30% to less than 15%.

If this competition hadn't been held in the capital of the Star Luo Empire, giving them a home advantage, the prediction rate for winning the championship probably wouldn't even be 5%.

The preparation area of ​​the Sun and Moon Royal Academy.

"Let the substitutes play in this match."

As soon as Ye Tian, ​​the team leader, finished speaking, it aroused the dissatisfaction of the students.

If Ye Tian hadn't already won over these young people with his culinary skills, they probably would have already started causing trouble.

"Teacher Ye, this is not a good idea. No matter what, Di'ao Academy has a Soul Emperor. If we only field substitutes, we will definitely not be their match."

As the team leader, Ma Rulong took the initiative to speak up and offer advice.

This is by no means an act that boosts the morale of others while diminishing our own.

Ma Rulong knew all too well the level of his own reserve members.

Although they possess some strength, and are even stronger than some teams from mid-tier colleges.

But Di'ao Academy is a top-tier team.

In previous years, the team has consistently reached the quarterfinals or semifinals, and this year's Imperial Academy even boasts a genius student at the Soul Emperor level.

If the reserve team members are sent up, what if they are drawn into the singles elimination round and get swept by the Soul Emperor students of the Imperial Academy? Wouldn't that make the Sun Moon Royal Academy lose face big time?

Moreover, after yesterday's humiliating victory, Xingluo National Academy is now worried about how to reduce its profile.

If the Sun Moon Royal Academy were to put on such a match, tomorrow's Battle Spirit newspaper would probably be filled with reports about it.

The onlookers didn't care whether Sun Moon Royal Academy had reserve or regular members; they just kept saying 1-7, Sun Moon Royal Academy suffered a humiliating defeat.

"No, this is just a round-robin tournament. If we send out our main players to fight to the death against Di'ao Academy, and they get injured, it will only benefit other academies."

Judging from their strength on paper, the Sun Moon Royal Academy is only half a level stronger than the Imperial Academy.

All members were at least Soul Kings, plus one Soul Emperor, giving them a slight advantage thanks to their Soul Tools.

Moreover, many of the contestants from the Imperial Academy come from the Body Sect, a sect whose members are almost entirely composed of brutes. (Poison Undying: ??? That's a bit rude of you.)

It's easy to get angry when people fight.

For the sake of the upcoming matches, we'll have to make things difficult for the second team's kids in this one.

"For the glory of the empire, we cannot lose this match. Teacher Ye, let me go, I'm confident I can win."

As a level six soul master, Ma Rulong is able to use a level seven soul tool during competitions.

In some respects, he has already achieved strength comparable to a Soul Saint.

"Ah this..."

Ma Rulong is indeed very strong, but it's not good to expose his full strength in the round-robin stage.

If the opponent figures out our strategy, will we still be able to win the subsequent matches?
"How about this, Xiaoxue will lead the team in the next match."

As Ye Tian spoke, his gaze fell on Rui Xue'er, who was drinking Luckin Coffee.

Because she heard Haki Bai say that "drinking too much coffee at night is bad," Luckin Coffee chose to save the remaining Luckin Coconut Latte for the morning.

Anyway, given the near-extremely cold properties of the ice in Luckin Coffee, even if it's left out overnight, it'll only cause superficial damage.
