Peerless: Tang San, this time Huo Yuhao is the attacker.

Chapter 82 Xuanzi Sheds Tears

This is a conference room, with an interior space of about forty square meters. After closing the door at the back, Ning Tian sat down next to him on the sofa.

Ma Xiaotao broke the silence by speaking first. She looked at the reserve team members with a wry smile on her face.

"The three of us alone are far from enough for this competition. You need to be mentally prepared."

"Senior, are you really going to let us participate? Aren't there any disciples in the inner courtyard who meet the participation requirements and can come to our aid?"

Wang Dong's question was exactly what the reserve team members wanted to ask, and it was Ling Luochen who answered it.

"Inner Academy disciples need to complete thirty inspection team missions to graduate. Most of the time, they are not in the inner academy, but are carrying out missions outside."

There are participants who meet the eligibility requirements, but the main problem is that they are most likely not in the inner courtyard.

Even if there were, the number would definitely not exceed two.

Ling Luochen was so certain because of her status as a member of the main team.

There's only one way to become a member of the starting team: fight, fight and fight.

Apart from Yao Haoxuan and Gongyang Mo, the two support-type Soul Masters, each of them has faced countless challenges and fought their way through to defend their positions.

Therefore, Ling Luochen knew very well the number of Soul Kings under the age of twenty in the Inner Court. Considering their usual busy schedules, he could easily make a rough estimate.

"Luo Chen is right." Ma Xiaotao nodded in agreement with Ling Luo Chen's words, a subtle change in her expression.

In fact, her relationship with Ling Luochen was not good, far from being enough for them to address each other so intimately.

However, after their experience fighting against Xuanzi together that night, she subconsciously started calling him that.

So, what was the reason that caused her and Ling Luochen to have a falling out?

It seems that their martial souls clashed from birth, and their personalities also clashed, so their relationship inexplicably broke down.

"You don't need to worry too much. We'll hold the sky up even if it falls. Just treat this competition as a normal assessment."

Ma Xiaotao smiled reassuringly, but seeing that the reserve team members still looked worried, she put away her fake smile and her expression turned cold.

"You can go ahead and do your job without worry. Whatever the outcome, it has nothing to do with you. We are not the ones to take the blame."

Even if someone is to take responsibility, it will never be us. I will report everything that happened before and after this competition to the academy.

By the end, her tone was sharp. Although Ma Xiaotao didn't say it explicitly, everyone knew who she meant to take responsibility.

"Senior is so cool!" Xiao Xiao, sitting next to Huo Yuhao, whispered in his ear with sparkling eyes.

"What the senior said is right, everyone just needs to do their best."

With Huo Yuhao taking the lead, the others echoed him to varying degrees. Seeing that her goal of boosting morale had been achieved, Ma Xiaotao told everyone to go back to their rooms to rest.

They were exhausted from using their flying soul tools or meditating the whole way.

The bed at the Star Luo Royal Hotel was very comfortable, and there was also specially made calming incense in the room. Just as Huo Yuhao was about to close his eyes, there was a knock on the door.

Along with it came Ling Luochen's voice.

"Yuhao, are you asleep?"

"Not yet, what's wrong, Sister Luo Chen?" Huo Yuhao got up from the bed and sent a wisp of soul power to the soul guide lamp.

"Oh, Senior Sister Xixi is here too?" Huo Yuhao was a little surprised to see Xixi standing next to Ling Luochen when he opened the door.

"Xixi came to thank you. If it weren't for your mental detection, something might have happened to her."

Ling Luochen spoke up to explain, and Huo Yuhao smiled slightly upon hearing this, "Senior Sister Xixi, there's no need to be so polite. We're all partners, so there's no need to be so formal."

Huo Yuhao didn't care much about these things. He saved Xixi purely because he wanted [Thunderbolt].

Otherwise, Huo Yuhao wouldn't have intervened, just as he didn't save Chen Zifeng and the other two.

Saving someone is a favor, not saving them is one's duty. Xixi's case is due to Xunlei, while Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen's cases are advanced entries.

"You saved me twice, I owe you two lives." Xixi shook her head and bowed deeply with a solemn expression.

"Twice? Xixi, what are you talking about? When did Yuhao save you?"

Ling Luochen, standing to the side, looked bewildered, his face filled with confusion, wondering where Xixi's mention of "two times" came from.

Huo Yuhao was quite clear that he had indeed saved Xixi twice. The first time, he used his mental detection to warn Xixi and help her escape the area of ​​the zombie explosion.

The second time was when Xixi tried to rush into the explosion to save Ling Luochen, but he stopped her with a soul-shaking attack.

Fortunately, he maintained a high level of concentration throughout the entire process of using Xunlei; otherwise, Xixi would most likely have met a tragic end.

After hearing Xixi's explanation, Ling Luochen's gaze softened immediately. She tapped Xixi's forehead with her finger and sternly reprimanded her, "You can't be so reckless in the future. What if something really happens to you!"

"How could I possibly watch you get hurt!" Xixi muttered softly, touching her forehead in grievance.

"you!"

Ling Luochen was furious that Xixi didn't value her own life.

But sensing the sincerity and determination in Xixi's words, her anger vanished without her noticing, replaced by a warm feeling.

"It seems that Sister Luo Chen and Senior Xi Xi have a very good relationship."

"Of course!"

Faced with Huo Yuhao's teasing, whether it was because Ling Luochen was present or because of the life-saving grace, Xixi was no longer as silent as usual, but responded very lively.

"Then I'll take Xixi with me first. Yuhao, you should get some rest."

"Yes, Luo Chen and you too."

Shrek Academy.

"Elder Song, this is a small gift I prepared to thank Your Majesty the Martial God for saving my son's life."

If you ever need my help in the future, just ask. I'll go through fire and water for you!

"Everyone has the right to kill evil spirit masters, so there's no need for the sect leader to be so polite."

"Elder Song, please convey to His Majesty the Martial God that if he ever comes to Tiangang City, please be sure to let me know. It was truly impolite of me not to be able to thank His Majesty the Martial God in person this time."

"I will."

On Poseidon Island, a pillar of air shot into the sky and disappeared into the night.

"Lin'er is still the same as before, with a chivalrous heart. With her in charge of the academy's future, we can all feel much more at ease."

Lin Huiqun wore a kind smile and spoke with great admiration.

"She's still a long way off. She needs at least another twenty years of cultivation." Song Yunzhi seemed to disagree, but the pride in her eyes was impossible to hide.

Today, the sect leader of the Tiangang Sect suddenly visited Shrek Academy and specifically asked to see Xian Lin'er. Song Yunzhi thought that her daughter had caused some trouble.

After learning what had happened, she discovered that Lin'er had raided a hideout of evil spirit masters a few days earlier and rescued all the people who had been imprisoned there.

Among them happened to be the youngest son of the Tiangang Sect Master.

According to him, his little brother has been missing for half a month since he secretly left the sect.

He had given up hope and was ready to abandon the search for the spirit tablet, but yesterday his youngest son suddenly came home, and he learned that his son had been kidnapped by an evil spirit master.

"Once Lin'er and the others take over our roles, then it'll be Le Xuan and Xiao Tao, and later there's Elder Mu's great-grandson and Yu Hao with his ultimate martial soul. With that, how could Shrek Academy not prosper!"

Thinking of this, Lin Huiqun's tone unconsciously became somewhat excited.

At a glance, it was clear that there wasn't just one heir capable of protecting Shrek Academy, but an entire group!

The other elders, upon hearing Lin Huiqun's words, also revealed their anticipation and relief for the bright future of Shrek Academy.

"Hmm? A powerful soul force is rapidly approaching. Such a formidable aura... could it be Old Xuan?"

No parent dislikes hearing their child praised. Song Yunzhi was about to chime in when her voice suddenly changed, and she said somewhat uncertainly.

Song Yunzhi's immense spiritual power rapidly unfolded. Although she was not a spirit-type Soul Master, as a Super Douluo, she still possessed tangible yet intangible spiritual power.

Upon hearing this, Lin Huiqun also released his spiritual perception and confirmed Song Yunzhi's guess.

"It really is him. Strange, shouldn't he be in Star City with the main team preparing for the tournament right now? Why did he suddenly return to Shrek City?"

Less than ten seconds later, Xuanzi appeared before everyone.

The elders' expressions all changed, because they saw Dai Yueheng, who looked miserable, standing next to Xuanzi.

After Xuanzi landed from the sky, he was stunned to see the elders gathered together. Apart from the Sea God Pavilion meeting, it was rare to see such a scene of many elders gathering together.

But he couldn't worry about that now. He shouted to Zhuang Yusen, who was not far away, "Old Zhuang, quickly treat Yueheng! He's seriously injured!"

Although Zhuang Yusen had many questions in his mind, he also knew that now was not the time to ask them.

He flashed to Dai Yueheng's side and, without saying a word, nine spirit rings appeared beneath his feet. A vine-like tendril sprouted from his palm and climbed onto Dai Yueheng's body.

After merely examining him with his life-sustaining whiskers, Zhuang Yusen gasped in shock. He looked at Xuanzi, his expression extremely grave.

"Yueheng's injuries are not serious, but I'm afraid I can't heal the parts of his body that are injured."

"Even you, Lao Zhuang, can't recover from this; isn't this a serious injury?"

Upon hearing Zhuang Yusen's words, Song Yunzhi subconsciously scanned Dai Yueheng's body with her mental power, and her expression immediately turned strange.

"Hmm? It's not a serious injury, although it looks a bit scary, as it damaged the bones and internal organs."

But ultimately, none of these are fatal. Shouldn't this be quite easy for you, Lao Zhuang?

"Yao Heng has gone blind."

"What?!"

Zhuang Yusen sighed, and all the elders present were shocked. As the soul power swept over, Dai Yueheng's eyelids were pulled up, revealing two empty eye sockets.

"What, what happened, Lao Xuan? Why is Yueheng so badly injured?"

Xuanzi remained silent and did not answer the question. "Old Zhuang, stabilize Yueheng's injuries first. I will convene a meeting of the Sea God Pavilion immediately."

After saying that, Xuanzi vanished in a flash, leaving Song Yunzhi and the others looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Old Zhuang, is it really incurable?"

Faced with Lin Huiqun's question, Zhuang Yusen shook his head sadly, "Although my martial spirit has a miraculous effect on healing injuries, the effect is also limited."

If Yueheng's eyes were only slightly damaged, I might still be able to help, but given the current situation, I cannot repair them.

I wonder if the Healing Immortal Douluo of the Star Luo Empire has this ability.

About half an hour later, the elders sat solemnly around the long table. Except for Xian Lin'er, who had led the group away, all eight elders were present.

"Xuanzi, what happened during the late-night meeting of the Sea God Pavilion? What's wrong with Yueheng's injury?"

Mu En, sitting on the recliner, spoke in a deep voice, his tone no longer gentle. Clearly, he had already learned that Dai Yueheng was seriously injured and had lost his sight.

Xuanzi slowly stood up, his withered hands supporting him on the table. Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, he painfully closed his eyes, his face heavy.

When he opened his eyes again, two streams of hot tears fell from his wrinkled face. His lips trembled, and his voice was shaking.

"The main team was ambushed during the mission. Dai Yueheng was seriously injured, and Yao Haoxuan, Gongyang Mo, and Chen Zifeng were killed in action."

"What?!"
