Douluo Sharingan, I really didn't coerce Xiao Wu!

Chapter 60 Zhu Zhuqing Disappears

Second day

Chen Xuan got up at dawn.

He put all the weapons he could use into his storage soul tool, including a hundred kunai, enough to last him a long time.

Chen Xuan set off, bringing Chen Yiyi to the agreed-upon location.

As the sun rises, all things come back to life, and the first rays of sunlight fall upon the earth.

Not long after, a beautiful figure appeared at the end of the road. Zhu Zhuqing walked over, her figure slender and very tall, with a well-proportioned figure. She was wearing a tight-fitting outfit and exuded a cold aura.

She had a cold and beautiful face and a great figure, especially when she wore a tight-fitting outfit that accentuated her almost perfect figure.

Chen Xuan was stunned for a long time. No matter how many times they met, he was always drawn to her broad-mindedness. It was just too broad.

It can only be said that she truly lives up to her name, Da Zhuqing. There are few people on the entire continent who can defeat her, not even the current Pope Bibi Dong or Qian Renxue.

"Brother, can you tone it down a bit? You're practically eyeing people all over." Chen Yiyi pouted, very dissatisfied.

Chen Xuan had already looked away, somewhat speechless. How could this be so outrageous? There was definitely an element of exaggeration involved.

"What are you looking at?" Zhu Zhuqing was aloof and distant. She had already walked up to him, her beautiful eyes as cold as stars as she stared at Chen Xuan.

As she walked over, she felt a burning gaze, a gaze she had felt on countless disgusting men.

"Of course it's for you," Chen Xuan readily admitted, there was no point in lying.

Since the other party allowed him to look, he took a good look and it was perfectly normal to appreciate beautiful things.

Zhu Zhuqing frowned slightly. Strangely, she didn't feel disgusted by being stared at so blatantly.

She noticed that Chen Xuan's eyes were very clear, without any distracting thoughts, only an appreciation for beautiful things, without any aggression or even evil intentions.

Unlike those disgusting men, she didn't seem to dislike his attitude, which was quite unusual.

Even Dai Mubai sometimes looked at her with greed. She was no longer an ignorant little girl and knew very well what that kind of person was thinking.

"I have a clear conscience." Zhu Zhuqing smoothed her hair, said this, and then ignored Chen Xuan.

She turned to look at the little girl beside her, sizing her up and down.

Chen Xuan was only putting on an act and wasn't really going to go all the way. So, he took the initiative to introduce Yi Yi, saying, "This is my younger sister, Chen Yi Yi, who just turned twelve this year."

"Yiyi, call her Sister Zhuqing." He nudged his younger sister's back.

Chen Yiyi rolled her eyes. The woman in front of her didn't seem to be much older than her.

Although she was very unwilling, she had no choice but to do as she was told since Chen Xuan was her older brother.

"Hello, Sister Zhuqing!" she said through gritted teeth.

Chen Xuan laughed awkwardly a few times. He belatedly realized that it was inappropriate. Zhu Zhuqing was only thirteen or fourteen years old, while his sister had just turned twelve this year. The difference of one or two years made it inappropriate to call her that.

However, his younger sister didn't look twelve years old at all. She was thin and only about 1.56 meters tall, and definitely looked like a little girl.

"Let's talk on the way," Zhu Zhuqing suddenly said, her voice cold and clear, interrupting the two of them.

Chen Xuan nodded without hesitation, picked up Yiyi, and started their journey.

They only encountered a carriage when they reached the city gate; there weren't many caravans or grooms there in the morning.

Chen Xuan spent thirty gold soul coins to charter a luxurious carriage.

The carriage left Tiandou City and headed south towards the Star Dou Great Forest.

Time flew by, and a day and a night passed quietly as the three of them traveled.

On the other side, in the Tiandou Division.

The continent-wide advanced soul master competition, which lasted for a month, finally came to an end on this day.

"In this Continental Soul Master Tournament, every team has delivered a spectacular performance in the preliminary rounds. On behalf of the Empire, I express my gratitude to you all. Each and every one of you is an exceptionally outstanding individual." Emperor Xueye delivered his address from the podium.

After a series of elaborate ceremonies, Emperor Xueye announced the top five students in this competition.

Shenfeng Academy and Leiting Academy have the same record of 26 wins and 1 loss, both ranking first.

However, since Kamikaze Academy had defeated Thunder Academy, the ranking was changed, and Thunder Academy became the second-placed academy.

Shrek Academy finished third with a record of 24 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses.

Fourth and fifth place are held by Blazing Fire Academy and Skywater Academy, with the two teams having similar records and differing by only one game.

Once the top five teams were announced, an awards ceremony was held where the captain and vice-captain of each team received their awards.

Emperor Xueye saw these five teams as the hope of the empire, and believed they could bring unexpected benefits to the empire in the future.

His face was kind, and he seemed extremely pleased. He coughed a few times and said seriously, "All the contestants who have advanced to the next round are talents of our empire. I hereby grant the captains and vice-captains of each team the title of viscount, and the remaining team members the title of baron. These titles will be distributed to you after you graduate."

For nobles, being granted a title was nothing special.

However, compared to ordinary people, it was a reward even better than real gold and silver, instantly elevating them from commoners to nobles, making them superior beings.

Many contestants were delighted with such a generous reward, feeling that their years of hard work had finally paid off.

Under normal circumstances, it is extremely difficult for an ordinary person to become an aristocrat; there is a huge chasm that cannot be easily crossed.

On the continent, there is a severe polarization: nobles are considered superior, while commoners are considered inferior. Even those who cultivate to the level of Soul Emperor or even Soul Saint are not allowed to stay in the royal family.

If this is the case for the two great empires of Tian Dou and Xing Luo, then it goes without saying that it applies to smaller countries as well.

The only place where people are relatively equal, regardless of social status, is probably the Spirit Hall.

At the awards ceremony, Emperor Xueye continued to deliver his speech, during which he specifically praised Tang San.

At the age of thirteen or fourteen, at level forty-one, possessing a ten-thousand-year soul ring, and some strange self-created soul skills, all these qualities combined in one person make it impossible for the royal family not to want to win him over.

Emperor Xueye felt particularly regretful, because there was another talent he wanted in Shrek Academy, namely Chen Xuan, who was also at level 41 and possessed a ten-thousand-year soul ring.

Although he was two or three years older than Tang San, he was still considered a genius in the empire.

It's a pity and a shame that we haven't seen that little genius on stage for so long. It's really strange.

Originally, he wanted to observe further to see Chen Xuan's true strength before deciding what conditions to use to win him over.

Next, Emperor Xueye made another grand promise: if any team from the Heavenly Dou Empire could win the final championship, then the titles of all members of that team would be raised by one rank.

Furthermore, the academy is given a royal title and enjoys imperial financial support.

Moreover, the three most outstanding members of the team will receive a generous reward: the Empire will send troops to hunt down any soul beast within the next 30,000 years.

"The qualifying rounds will be held in a month. I hope that in the days to come, you can prepare well, work hard, and bring glory to the empire." Emperor Xueye showed a kind smile.

Thus, the preliminary rounds of the All-Continent Soul Master Tournament have finally come to an end today.

After the preliminary rounds ended, all the teams went back, including Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others, who returned to Shrek Academy.

"Where's Zhu Qing?" At the celebration banquet that evening, Dai Mubai finally realized that Zhu Zhu Qing had not come.

He searched all over Shrek Academy, but there was no trace of the other person; it was as if they had vanished from the face of the earth.

Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu shook their heads, indicating that they hadn't seen their good friend Zhu Qing for the past two days.

Moreover, they discovered that Chen Xuan was also absent, nowhere to be found, and they had no idea where he had gone.

Dai Mubai nearly lost his temper; a bad feeling rose in his heart.

"Why do I feel a palpitation?" He clutched his chest, feeling a strange sense of panic.

He immediately realized that something might have happened to his kitten.

Tang San was moved. He had also felt a strong sense of palpitations and anxiety when Xiao Wu didn't return home that night.

"Mu Bai, I'll go with you to find it."
