Douluo Continent: Saving Zhang Lexuan at the Start

Chapter 77: Undercurrents and Reactions from All Sides

"I never imagined that Shrek Academy student would be a descendant of that royal assassin from back then!"

After reviewing the data that had been urgently transferred from the Sun Moon Empire overnight, Old Ma sighed.

Four thousand years ago, during the period of continental collision, the Sun and Moon royal families were much stronger than they are now.

At least at that time, those born into the royal family who were level nine soul masters accounted for half of all the Sun Moon Empire's soul masters.

However, in that battle, many of the ninth-level Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Royal Family died at the hands of Shrek Academy.

However, compared to Shrek Academy, the Ye family's ancestor's feat of single-handedly killing three level-nine soul masters was even more dazzling, second only to the Sea God Pavilion Master who possessed the ultimate fire martial soul.

"Old Ma, he should be a student in the next class. I will definitely make sure he can't leave the arena and avenge the ancestors of the Sun Moon Empire."

Feng Yuan looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old, with a slightly effeminate appearance. He was a member of the reserve team of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, and his level 41 soul power ranked among the top three in the reserve team.

Although he spoke righteously and eloquently about the Sun Moon Empire, he had his own ulterior motives.

The reason for saying this was simply to give a good impression to Mr. Ma, who was both the team leader and a teacher at Mingdetang, and to try to get a chance to enter Mingdetang.

But how could his little scheme possibly escape the notice of Elder Ma, a veteran level eight soul master?

Old Ma didn't say anything, he just nodded, which instantly gave Feng Yuan a lot of confidence.

He just didn't expect that Elder Ma didn't care about him, but was thinking about how Ruhe would handle the relationship between the Ye family and other families and forces that originally belonged to the main body of Douluo Three Kingdoms.

In order to take revenge on the Douluo Three Kingdoms, the Sun Moon Empire secretly accumulated resources for a thousand years.

But sometimes, the emergence of enemies is nothing more than a conflict of interests.

If the Soul Master families of the Douluo Three Kingdoms can be appeased, the obstacles for the Sun Moon Empire to unify the continent will be reduced by more than half!

However, these are not things that Old Ma, as the team leader, can worry about. He just needs to report everything truthfully.

The Heavenly Soul Palace was rebuilt based on the former imperial palace of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

Unlike the somewhat rough and luxurious style of the Star Luo Empire, they, who inherited from the Heaven Dou Empire, pay more attention to classical elegance.

The Imperial Garden is adorned with flowers all year round thanks to the use of a special soul tool.

In an artificial pond surrounded by serene trees and blooming flowers, lotus flowers sway gently in the breeze.

Suddenly, a slender, fair hand grasped the long stem of the lotus flower and broke it off with a little force.

Even when broken, the lotus stem seemed reluctant to let go, its fine threads withdrawing, ultimately unable to hold onto the blooming white lotus.

"Oh, Your Majesty, this flower was perfectly fine, why did you break it!"

The newcomer sounded somewhat urgent; it was none other than Emperor Wei Tian of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

In the inner palace, he did not wear the emperor's robes, but instead changed into a casual outfit with gold patterns.

The woman was beautiful, with phoenix eyes that held a hint of majesty; she was none other than the Empress of Weitian.

However, her expression was slightly cold, as if she didn't like Emperor Weitian.

After glancing at Wei Tian with her phoenix eyes, she parted her rosy lips slightly and said, "Your Majesty, you are very busy. How come you have time to stroll around the harem?"

Hearing his empress's somewhat strange tone, Wei Tian's expression became somewhat awkward. "How can you say that? Can't I just come to see you?"

(all)

"No need. I've heard that the family that's been living in seclusion in the Longyue Mountains within our empire has also emerged. I'm worried that Your Majesty might be sidelined by these two powerful figures!"

For a moment, a deep sense of worry appeared in Empress Weitian's beautiful eyes.

In her opinion, neither the Ye family nor the Body Sect were people to be trifled with.

Among the royal families of the Three Kingdoms, the Heavenly Soul Empire, like the Fighting Spirit Empire, had a very weak royal family.

Just as he guessed, if the Ye family joined forces with the Body Sect, they could easily sideline them.

Furthermore, the Ye family, like the royal Wei family, is also a family-based successor. If the Body Sect were to switch its support to the powerful Ye family to become the master of the Heavenly Soul Empire, they would have no recourse.

Wei Tian understood the Empress's concerns and gently comforted her, "Don't worry, the Body Sect has cooperated with us for many years, so they probably won't suddenly turn against us. Since the Ye family has emerged, we can't stop them. If we can be on good terms with them, it might even help our Heavenly Soul Empire rise to another level."

As the mother of the nation, Empress Weitian understood his intentions. "Your Majesty, are you planning to win over the Ye family?"

"It's not exactly an attempt to win them over, but I've heard that the Ye family seems quite interested in soul tools, and I'd like to cooperate with them. After all, we're all from the Douluo Continent, and if we can improve together, we'll have a better chance of winning when we fight against the Sun Moon Empire in the future."

Since we intend to cooperate, we need a process of meeting and getting to know each other.

Wei Tian had already revealed his intentions, and the Empress understood that she was the one who needed to build this bridge.

The two-day elimination rounds have ended, but many people didn't sleep a wink that night.

After one night, the Continental Soul Master Tournament proceeded as scheduled.

The first two matches of the group that Shrek Academy is in have already ended, and the reserve team members have also witnessed what the 2-2-3 system and individual elimination tournament are like.

"The third match will be between the Shrek Academy team and the Star Luo Empire's Yunluo Academy team. The match will be a best-of-three series, with the team accumulating two wins advancing directly!"

After the host from the Heavenly Soul Empire finished his introduction, the referee of the respective arena also gave instructions.

"The first round of the competition is about to begin. Please come to the stage, both contestants!"

Just as predicted, Yunluo Academy never intended to defeat Shrek Academy from the very beginning.

They directly arranged for the team's only two Soul Kings to play in the first match, so that even if they couldn't win, the Star Luo Empire, where Yunluo Academy was located, would take notice of Yunluo Academy's performance.

Regardless of the outcome, Yunluo Academy will make a fortune.

In the Shrek Academy rest area, Han Ruoruo felt a little sorry for them and said softly, "Student Ye, little sister Le Xuan, don't be too attached to winning or losing. If it's really too much, just admit defeat. We're here for you."

Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan exchanged a smile; they had a pretty good impression of Han Ruoruo, their senior.

After thanking him, the two stepped onto the ring.

The moment the two stepped onto the field, it naturally sparked heated discussions among everyone present. They hadn't expected Shrek Academy to dare to send newcomers onto the field during the round-robin stage. Was this the confidence of the number one academy in the world?

Sitting in the rest area, Du Weiren took in the reactions of everyone on the field. In his opinion, as long as Shrek Academy won all their matches, it wouldn't matter if Yunluo Academy lost one match; they could win it back later.

In the match against Yunluo Academy, apart from the first match where Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan participated, he arranged for Shrek Academy's regular players to participate in the next two matches, so there was no possibility of losing.

After all, Shrek had long since developed a deep-seated vanity.

To win the game, they would fight to the death, even if it meant getting hurt and bleeding.

Du Weiren can use underhanded tactics, but he still dares not cross Shrek's bottom line of having to win.
