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

Chapter 486 Xi Lian: "Aili? I can't beat her?" (Seeking monthly votes)

Zheng Zhan opened the soul guidance barrier and stepped onto the competition stage. Ryougi Shiki had already returned to Illya and Miyu's side, closing her eyes to rest and wait for the referee to announce the result.

Xiao Hongchen and Ye Nongfeng remained lying on the cold metal ground, their chests heaving, as operating the soul-guided turret was an extremely energy-intensive task.

Without Dream Coins, launching such frequent and extraordinary attacks had exhausted them both.

On the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's side, only Meng Hongchen was still able to stand up. His scarlet eyes had turned back to ice blue, and the ice had frozen the wounds on his palms, staining the ice red with blood.

Looking at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Zheng Zhan couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He had to admit that their luck was really bad.

Not only did they draw the first match, but their opponent was also an absurdly strong team like the Xilu City Research Academy. In fact, given the strength of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, entering the semi-finals shouldn't have been a problem.

Six members of the Xilu City Research Academy have now entered the arena, each with their own unique skills, and each capable of bringing unexpected surprises to their opponents.

Zheng Zhan really couldn't understand what kind of team could beat these monsters in a seven-on-seven match. The mechanics and stats of those guys were simply illogical and completely wrong.

Soul Masters in Douluo Continent are likely to be in a state where they cannot have both high stats and good mechanics. It is precisely because of this that support-type Soul Masters have been so popular over the past tens of thousands of years.

Because they can compensate for insufficient values ​​or mechanisms.

These guys in Xilu City are great; they have both good mechanics and good stats.

It's like a third-rate game designer filled in the data with their feet, writing whatever mechanics they dreamed of, the martial spirit design is haphazard and they don't care about version balance at all. Ordinary players can't play this game at all without joining the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect.

But where in the real world does the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect come from? This isn't a fantasy novel where you can get a system panel or some kind of cheat code just by sleeping.

In these kinds of novels, the protagonist suddenly hears strange voices in his head and receives a bunch of benefits for free. Zheng Zhan thinks this is pure nonsense.

This could be a mental illness, or it could be caused by a spirit master with a mental attribute causing trouble, or it could be a case of an evil spirit master possessing another's body.

There are no shortcuts to cultivation. Those below the Super Douluo level can rely on various resources to advance rapidly, but those above the Super Douluo level basically have to rely on their own comprehension abilities.

If reality were a game, Zheng Zhan felt that the group of freaks at the Xilu City Research Institute designed it purely to satisfy the dark psychology of game planners, wanting to see players tortured to the point of death.

Returning to the present, Zheng Zhan couldn't help but sigh. After this competition, the academies and sects of the Sun Moon Empire were completely wiped out.

The Mingdu Soul Master Academy was unlucky enough to be placed in the same group as the Haotian Sect and the Body Sect, and was eliminated in the round-robin tournament.

Now, the last remaining member of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has also fallen in the top eight. Although Xu Tianran hasn't said anything yet, who knows if he will bring up old grievances in the future?

Although the outcome of the match has nothing to do with him as the referee, political turmoil is something that can affect people just because they think they can't. He's already considering whether or not to send Run to Xilu City.

A while ago, Adam, the new city lord of Xiru City, sent him an invitation to join Project Shield, a very ambitious project aimed at ensuring the continuation of the interdimensional species.

"I hereby declare the West City Research Academy the victor in the first match of the quarterfinals, against the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy!"

After Zheng Zhan loudly announced the name, the entire competition erupted in thunderous cheers, with all the spectators chanting the name of the Xilu City Research Academy.

The combined sound even caused the drifting white clouds in the sky to disperse, and the cheers that resounded throughout the city could be heard even in restaurants in the northern part of Mingdu.

Humans generally have a tendency to admire the strong, and these bloodthirsty viewers are especially so. The power and mystery of the Xilu City Research Academy perfectly hit these guys' sweet spot, causing countless people to experience a mental climax.

On the Magic Network, the betting ratio between Xilu City Research Academy and Shrek Academy is close to one to one, and a large number of videos of virtual debates obscure the actual winning probability of both sides.

Some say that everything will be alright once Bai Er unleashes his destructive power, while others directly refute this by saying we should talk about the Galaxy Baseball Man first.

Some people touted Wang Dong, Shrek Academy's secret weapon, but soon it was said that the captain of the Xilu City Research Institute had never made a move either.

Supporters of both sides were arguing fiercely. If it weren't for the strong security of the Magic Network's underlying protocol, it would probably have already escalated to the point of being unpacked.

The official organizers of the Mingdu Tournament are happy to see everyone argue. They don't care who wins or loses; traffic and popularity mean a steady stream of Dream Coins.

If this competition is better than the one in Xingluo City, then it will be an achievement that can be mentioned to Xu Tianran.

In the VIP section, Xu Tianran couldn't help but shake his head and say, "The education in my Sun Moon Empire is still slightly inferior to that of the Douluo Three Kingdoms."

Not only is it inferior to Shrek Academy, but it has even lost to the newly established Xilu City Research Academy. I think our Sun Moon Empire should also carry out educational reforms.

As soon as Xu Tianran spoke, the ministers behind him who had graduated from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy couldn't help but open their mouths, as if they wanted to say something.

This is a directive to them; the first institution to be reformed in education will undoubtedly be the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

They weren't trying to stop the reforms; reforms are a good thing. Sun Moon's education was indeed somewhat outdated, but splitting the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy into three at once was going too far.

Taking a half-step is a step forward, but taking a big step could be disastrous. Dramatic upheaval could backfire, and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy could be divided up by various forces.

These ministers, who were once graduates of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, have deep feelings for their alma mater. Most of the high-level soul masters in the entire empire came from there, and doing this might make these soul masters feel disheartened.

Otto said nothing, still smiling. The education system of the Sun Moon Empire did indeed need reform, but Xu Tianran would certainly not live to see it.

The reforms to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy aren't actually that radical. The information released so far is just a necessary means to send some high-end talents to Xilu City.

Once Otto takes control of the sun and moon, he will gradually reform the education system here. He has considerable experience in education, not to mention the help of Ms. Himeko and his old friend Welt.

Starry Sky Douluo Ye Yulin gestured to the ministers to remain silent for the time being. He was a retainer of the Sun Moon Empire and had long been a supporter of Xu Tianran. He was also one of the top three strongest Soul Masters.

In fact, he also disagreed with the reform plan's treatment of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. This academy was a sacred place in the hearts of all soul masters, and directly splitting it up was too radical.

However, Ye Yulin strongly supports the policy of suppressing the Hongchen family, which is almost turning Mingdetang into their own property.

Regardless of your opinion, now is not a good time to speak out. Xu Tianran is petty and may retaliate in the future. These ministers are all capable officials, and Ye Yulin should be protected if possible.

Xu Tianran didn't turn around to look at the ministers' expressions, but instead asked Otto beside him, "Prime Minister, is the next match Shrek Academy versus the Clear Sky Sect?"

"This seems to be a battle with no suspense whatsoever."

Otto, sitting next to Xu Tianran, had a smile on his face as he looked down at the Xilu City Research Academy and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy gradually leaving the stage. His long golden hair was tied into a ponytail and hung down in front of him.

"The competition is never short of the unknown. Paper data is just empty talk. The encounter between people can always lead to all sorts of surprises."

In the audience, Xi Lian, having finished the roast chicken, returned to her lively state. She rested her head on Huo Yuhao's shoulder, then shook Huo Yuhao's arm, her voice as gentle as willow branches caressing the water.

"Hey buddy! I've always been curious, that girl named Ryougi Shiki's memories are so strange, it's like she has two sets of them!"

Huo Yuhao casually pulled out a tissue from his storage soul tool and wiped the oil off her mouth, causing the pink puppy's pretty face to blush slightly and her pointed elf ears to twitch gently.

"She has a dual personality; there are two beings within her: Ryougi Shiki and Ryougi Ori."

"Just like the Tai Chi symbol, which gives rise to Yin and Yang respectively."

"The Ryougi Shiki represents the yin aspect, while the Ryougi Shiki represents the yang aspect."

"Yin and Yang are not incompatible; they have a very good relationship."

Hoshi thought Ryougi Shiki was more like a feminine being, mainly because Ryougi Shiki doesn't suppress her inner feelings, and her behavior and actions are more open, making her more natural in her interactions with others. This gave Hoshi a slight misconception, while Ryougi Shiki is the opposite.

Xi Lian swung her legs and asked curiously, "That sounds pretty good. Is this how all people with dual personalities are?"

"If someone also had a dual personality, would they never be bored when they were alone?"

Huo Yuhao was speechless. He tapped her head and said, "Dual personality is a mental illness."

"Don't overthink it. If you really want it, I can create a split personality for you like Ellie, and then you'll know what that feels like. You probably won't like it."

Xi Lian's cheeks puffed out slightly, and her short pink hair with white highlights swayed on Huo Yuhao's shoulder, with a few strands even touching his neck.

Why?

"They're clearly incredibly talented!"

Huo Yuhao said with a smile, "You're not even a little girl in front of her. You might get completely taken advantage of. You can't beat her."

""

Okay, forget about having a split personality. That's a mental illness. If you really do have it, I'll do anything to cure you.
