Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit.

Chapter 469 The Ocean and Water King Navelette

"cough!"

"Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, viewers! Welcome to Douluo Voice."

It's an honor to be invited to provide commentary for the Mingdu Tournament. Before the matches begin, let's introduce the various teams.

"The round-robin tournament is nearing its end, and the overall rankings are basically set."

"The four forces of Xilu City Research Academy, Shrek Academy, Body Sect, and Heavenly Dragon Gate have dominated their respective groups and are the undisputed overlords of their groups."

It is certain that these four forces will emerge victorious.

I really look forward to them meeting in the quarterfinals and having a showdown!

The strength of the second-place team is still debatable, and the competition in this round will become more intense as it goes on!

Although the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and the Clear Sky Sect lost a match, their strength was not greatly damaged, and they have now recovered to their full strength.

Today, the final four academies will be decided, and the top two teams from each group will advance to the quarterfinals!

"It's worth mentioning that today's first match will be between Xilu City Research Academy and Xingluo National Academy."

"This is the last match of the group stage for Xilu City, and it is very exciting. Xingluo National Academy is an evergreen team in previous competitions, and has almost never fallen out of the top four!"

They maintained an undefeated record before encountering the Xilu City Research Institute.

"However, all members of Xingluo National Academy have participated in the competition. On the other hand, Xilu City Research Academy has only had two members participate so far, making them the favorites to win the championship this time."

No academy has ever fought them in a team battle; they've always completely ended the game in individual matches.

"The debate on the Magic Network about Xilu City Research Institute and Shrek Academy has always been very heated. Some people say that when Shrek Academy's secret weapon, Wang Dong, makes his move, Xilu City will have to surrender with its head in its hands."

Some say the last hidden fighter in Xilu City might not be Soul Master, but someone who will crush their opponents with absolute power.

"No matter what, the two academies will eventually have a battle, which netizens jokingly call the civil war on the Tiandou Plain."

That makes sense, really. The straight-line distance between Xilu City and Shrek City is no more than eighty li; they are neighbors.

"In short, I hope that all the major forces can show their skills and not regret it for a lifetime because of a temporary win or loss. Life is a wilderness, not a one-way street. The future is wonderful, let's wait and see together."

"The sponsor of this competition is Snow King Ice Cream, which is committed to providing high-quality milk tea at low prices, offering the public a sweet treat for just three copper coins."

"Ruilu Coffee is dedicated to keeping everyone's energy high, making every cup of coffee perfect. Kenrai reminds you that if you get hungry at lunchtime, you can grab a burger combo – all items are half price during the competition."

"Every sincere heart deserves care. Give your family a sparkling gemstone and let love continue. Jiubao Glass Merchants Association will protect your love."

"The voice of the Douluo Voice host was transmitted to the entire city through the holographic screen above Mingdu. Whether in the core of Mingdu or the suburbs, you could see the screen hanging in the sky as soon as you looked up."

"This GG is really long and tedious. Who came up with the idea of ​​a private business association investment competition?" Xia Mi said, carrying a small crossbody bag and holding an ice cream in her hand, taking small bites.

"Sharing the costs, and even making a profit, is a normal action." Standing next to Xia Mi, Dan Heng stroked his chin and modified the Magic Network Think Tank.

This was a task Huo Yuhao gave him. Since he was idle anyway, he might as well help Tianmeng Ice Silkworm organize the entries on the magic network.

With the accumulation of a large amount of information, the core of the Magic Network will become a mess if it is not organized. If a bug occurs in the future and repairs are needed, it will feel like a veteran electrician being sent to India to repair electrical wires – no one will be able to fix it.

"Hey, aren't you going to watch your two friends' game? What brings you here to keep me company today?"

"Did those two abandon you? So you can only come to your cute little sister?"

Xia Mi poked Dan Heng's back with her finger. Normally, her older brother should be watching the game at the stadium right now, instead of accompanying her shopping here.

Dan Heng replied without turning his head, "I just happened to run into you on the street. If you don't eat your ice cream soon, it might melt in five minutes."

Upon hearing this, Xia Mi's eyes widened suddenly. Looking at the ice cream in her hand, she opened her mouth wide and swallowed it all in a few gulps.

The icy sensation spread throughout Xia Mi's body, causing her to show an expression of ecstasy.

"I really envy those ice-related entities like Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor. They have built-in cooling systems in the summer and aren't afraid of freezing in the winter."

The poor mountain dragon, burdened by its thick scales and rocks, felt like it was living in a sauna every summer.

Because she had eaten too hastily, Xia Mi's mouth was stained with milk. Dan Heng casually handed her a tissue and said, "Wipe it off."

"Want to come with me to the stadium to watch the match? Today is the last match of the round-robin tournament."

"Go!" Xia Mi took the tissue, casually wiped her mouth, then rubbed it between her fingers until it turned to ash. Since she had nothing else to do, of course she had to go.

This period was a rare time of rest for Xia Mi. Back in the Northwest Continent, she was always working from the moment she opened her eyes, and she might even get a whipping.

The owner of the ditch had no good intentions in creating the Dragon King; he was more like a black slave than a Dragon King.

She was put in an engineering hat by Huo Yuhao as soon as she was born, and kicked into the deep mountains and forests to be used as a tunnel boring machine.

The eldest brother was buried in the ground to clear the ley lines as soon as he was born, and Fenrir, that foolish older brother, had to take on the responsibility of modifying the terrain and stabilizing the planet's geological structure.

The two Fire King brothers were sent to the research institute to deal with those difficult inscriptions and magic arrays all day long. When Xia Mi went to visit them in her spare time, her eyes were almost dazzled by all the sights.

The Water King is also having a tough time, as one is in charge of judgment and the other works with the Beast King to regulate ocean currents and sea weather.

In other words, the Wind King was relatively leisurely, benefited from being born early, went to the academy to study, spent more time with his boss, and even inherited his boss's medical clinic.

The main reason is that neither of them knew they were the Wind Kings, so the boss didn't assign them any duties.

I've heard there's also a Space Dragon King. Strictly speaking, he doesn't belong to the New Dragon Clan, but just like Di Tian, ​​the New Dragon Clan is very tolerant. If you think you are one, then you are. The boss won't kick you out.

Anyway, there aren't many survivors of the old dragon race; there are probably no more than five in total.

Xia Mi and Dan Heng walked on the streets of Mingdu. Occasionally, patrol teams would jog past them. Xia Mi felt deep admiration for these soldiers who were running around in the sweltering heat despite their armor.

"Running in this kind of clothing in the sweltering heat, that's impressive. If my boss dared to make me do that, I'd kill myself!"

One of the dragon kings grumbled viciously, already imagining how heartbroken her boss would be if she died.

"They say there's a temperature regulation array inside the armor, so the Dragon King won't die; he'll just emerge from his cocoon and be reborn. Next time, remember to learn some alchemy and soul tool knowledge; you're like an illiterate."

A voice suddenly rang in Xia Mi's ears, and she turned her head like a vicious dog to see who was mocking her.

Then we saw Norton and Constantine, the two brothers wearing matching outfits, with Constantine holding an iced milk tea.

Standing next to the two brothers was a tall, upright man with long, neatly combed white hair and dressed in appropriate clothes. He looked like a civil servant with a secure job. Two strands of blue hair curled back, and his purple eyes exuded authority.

"Long time no see, Sannoh."

Xia Mi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Water King? I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly. Is the trial over there already finished?"

Navelette, the king of the ocean and water, shook his head. His voice was steady, deep, and magnetic, and his movements were gentle and polite.

"No, the Northwest Continent is currently celebrating a festival to mark the third anniversary of the Federation's founding. I was given three days off, and after much thought, I decided to accept your invitation."

"Oh dear! You're still so old-fashioned. When it comes to work, you should know when to slack off."

Working is about providing surplus value to the boss; slacking off is about seizing rights for yourself.

Xia Mi, feeling exasperated, approached Navelette and patted him on the shoulder.

Of all the Dragon Kings, he was the most dutiful and responsible, spending his days either executing trials in court or collecting case materials or improving laws and regulations.

Xia Mi was almost worried that he would turn into a ruthless judgment machine. After all, he was her brother. Hogus had not arranged for them to kill each other. The relationship between the Dragon Kings was still quite good.

"————I cannot agree. Judgment is my duty, and I cannot treat my duty lightly. I must take it seriously in order to be worthy of justice."

Navelette shook his head. He did not agree with Xia Mi's ideas. In fact, he held a very high position in the Federation, serving as the Supreme Judge and a high-ranking official.

However, he still treated it as a job, patiently and meticulously completing each trial and rationally judging whether each law was fair and ethical.

Norton scoffed at Xia Mi, saying, "Jormungandr, do you think everyone enjoys doing nothing as much as you do?"

If you ask me, you should go to school and learn something, so you don't drag down the Dragon King's average level of knowledge like an illiterate person.

Xia Mi's face flushed red, like a fierce dog about to attack. If Xing saw her, he would probably be scared out of his wits. The last time she left a deep impression on Xing.

Norton was unfazed by her gaze, but as the strongest lower-ranking dragon, he was no match for her.

"Alright, let's go watch the match together. Isn't the other one of the Water King's, Furnessa, here?" Dan Heng pulled Xia Mi back from tearing at him, his face showing helplessness.

The group of five entered the arena together and followed the signs to the spectator area. As they walked, Navelette replied, "She is practicing dragon dance steps with Lady Ah Shui, the former Water Dragon King, and plans to perform a solo dance at the banquet. She probably won't be able to arrive until tomorrow."

Xia Mi understood that ever since the birth of the King of the Ocean and the King of Water, the Water Dragon King would often go to the Northwest Continent to teach the two of them how to exercise their authority and the various uses of the water and ice elements.

"Alright, tonight I'll take you to try some local delicacies in Mingdu. Although it's been squeezed out of business by fast food chains, I've still managed to find a few places through my tireless efforts."

Don't worry, it's not fried. By the way, you absolutely must not taste the water from the Mingdu River; the heavy metal pollution there is severe.

I don't want to see you get diarrhea.

Xia Mi hurriedly reminded Vilet that this guy liked to taste water from different places, and the water in Mingdu was all from advanced technology and hard work.

In many places, even swamp fish, a species with a vitality comparable to blue silver grass, cannot survive.

"Generally speaking, I don't drink tap water, and even I pay attention to hygiene," Navelette explained, feeling that Xia Mi seemed to have a slight misunderstanding about him.

Xia Mi patted her flat chest and said, "That's good! I know where in Mingdu the tea is famous. I'll get you some of the famous Da Zi Pao tea from here later, it's really delicious!"

"And the boss's Qiluo Tulip Flower Tea, I'll sneak you some. This stuff would make those country bumpkins from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School cry their eyes out if it were on the market."

When the goddess you love but cannot have is kicked out by the other party, no one can stand up and resist.

Huo Yuhao had no shortage of Qiluo tulips; he had one 100,000-year-old one at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and several others that had not yet developed sentience.

At the place of the God of Emotions, this thing, though not abundant, is not scarce either; a few dozen plants can still be extracted.

Even in the current realm of gods, while the number of Qiluo Tulips may not be large, there are certainly some.

The gods do not value such things because they are useless to them.

No one knows why the Nine-Colored Goddess and the God of Food didn't give one or two plants to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the lower realm.

For a sect to have two such divine ancestors is quite an achievement, but they haven't received any real benefits whatsoever.

Tang San knew to give the Sea God Clan and the Clear Sky Sect some benefits.

If the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School wants the Qiluo Tulip, they should wait until the Fourth Calamity opens and then go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in another dimension to snatch it themselves.
