Douluo Continent: Son of the God King, Chaotic Time and Space

After a satisfying meal, it's time for a good night's sleep.

Ji Siyuan lay on the bed recovering his energy, also digesting the ten-thousand-year-old earth dragon meat provided by Xuanzi.

Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, sat cross-legged in meditation, actively cultivating his skills.

Even after the competition, he didn't choose to relax; he worked really hard.

After Huo Yuhao regained consciousness from his meditation, the first thing he did was look at Ji Siyuan.

Nine lotus seeds floated around him, and the faint flames were so intense.

"The difference in martial spirits is huge. Siyuan doesn't even need to meditate; these lotus seeds can help him cultivate."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm agreed with Huo Yuhao's idea: "I have never seen this kind of martial soul before. It takes into account both cultivation speed and combat power. It is not like a normal martial soul at all."

"Brother Meng, will I really be able to catch up with Siyuan that day?"

"You ask this question eight times a day." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm knew what Huo Yutong was thinking: "I won't lie to you. When you reach level 20, we'll go find a very powerful soul beast. Even if your martial soul isn't as good as Ji Siyuan's, the soul ring configuration of your two martial souls will definitely be something he can't match. I don't believe he could have anything stronger than a million-year soul beast."

At this moment, Ji Siyuan was asking Tang San about another martial soul.

Even without using the Sword of Judgment of the Three Realms, he could still feel its influence.

The sharp sword intent carries the power to cut through everything.

"Uncle, can this sword really be equipped with spirit rings?"

Tang San: "Hiss, to be honest, I don't know either. The Sword of Judgment of the Three Realms isn't a divine weapon, but a combination technique used by your parents and me. Its effect is similar to a Martial Soul Fusion Technique. It has reached a level above the God King. After you become a Martial Soul, I'm afraid the Soul Rings on Douluo Continent won't be worthy of it."

Ji Siyuan never summoned the Sword of Judgment of the Three Realms.

He sensed that even a simple invocation was beyond his current control.

"I'd better practice the Earth Core Red Lotus first."

He stretched and woke up, only to find Huo Yuhao staring intently at him. As soon as he saw him open his eyes, he immediately looked away.

"Siyuan, I just reached level 19."

"Well done."

"You're not level 24 yet, are you?" Hearing Ji Siyuan's calm response, Huo Yuhao thought the distance between them had widened again.

It's common sense that the higher the level, the harder it is to advance; how can such a large gap be created so easily?

"I'm still a little short, but I should be able to advance in a few days," Ji Siyuan replied based on his own feeling.

He patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder: "Let's go, let's eat first. The awards ceremony is coming up, and then we'll be assigned to classes."

He was stating the facts when Huo Yuhao suddenly blurted out, "I won't separate from you. Control and offense are inseparable!"

"I know that control and offense are inseparable, and we also have the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, so how could we possibly separate?"

Huo Yuhao turned his head away for a while before turning back to look at him.

The two ran into Wang Dong'er, and since the three were already a team, they went together to the Soul Arena from yesterday to wait for the rewards.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er were both quite excited, after all, they were the champions.

Ji Siyuan, on the other hand, knew what the reward was. He was also curious whether his sudden appearance might change the final reward.

The presence of Deans Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo on the stage put pressure on many students.

The grade head, Du Weilun, was announcing the results of the competition.

First, the changes to the competition were explained, and then the teams that made it to the finals were introduced.

These are all things I already know, so I'm just repeating them.

"First, let's talk about the final results of this competition. Third place goes to Huang Chutian's team."

Huang Chutian and the twins went on stage, amidst disdainful murmurs from below. The reason was simple: these were the final third-place winners chosen by Chun.

However, after careful analysis of the competition, their third-place finish is relatively reasonable.

"Second place, Xiao Xiao's team."

Xiao Xiao brought two one-ring Soul Masters onto the stage, which angered many. The plot intensifies: Update, come and watch!

They shouldn't be in this position at all, given their abilities.

"The champion team, Ji Siyuan's team."

When Ji Siyuan, Wang Dong'er, and Huo Yuhao went on stage, no one said they were unworthy. Ji Siyuan's incredible combat power had already stunned the new students.

A second-ringed being can defeat a third-ringed being and still gain the upper hand. It's even so overpowered that a single person can break through to a Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

Wang Dong'er is no pushover either; she can take on multiple opponents at once.

As for Huo Yuhao, most people treat him as a mere accessory.

Du Weilen: "The results of the competition will be determined by the fight. On the battlefield, it's never just combat ability that's tested; your teamwork, battlefield awareness, and even communication and coordination skills are all crucial. For the outstanding performance of all three teams, the academy will provide a unified reward. Each student from each of the three teams can request the academy's assistance in obtaining a spirit ring that is within their limits for acquiring their next spirit ring."

Xiao Xiao possesses twin martial souls, and the promise regarding her second martial soul remains valid.

A wave of envy swept through the audience. For others, it was just one spirit ring, but for Xiao Xiao, it was two spirit rings. She could also wait until she became stronger, absorb better spirit rings, and then obtain the second spirit ring for her second martial soul.

They may envy them, but after all, they themselves don't possess twin martial souls.

Du Weiren didn't finish explaining the reward: "In recognition of the champion team's amazing performance, we have decided to award them a prepaid card. This card can be used anywhere in Shrek City, including the Treasure Hunt! This prepaid card is worth one million gold soul coins."

The moment the reward was announced, an uproar erupted.

A million gold soul coins is no small sum; it's enough to allow many families to live a happy and fulfilling life.

Even a thousand-year-old soul bone can be bought.

Countless people cast envious glances at them.

The main problem is that this thing is hard to steal. Even if you steal it, you have to use it, but you can only use it within Shrek City, and only the three of them can use it.

This reward is incredibly valuable.

Dai Huabin gritted his teeth. Although the White Tiger Duke could take out so many gold soul coins, he couldn't possibly give them to him as a reward in one go, so he was also very tempted.

Ning Tian fared slightly better.

Compared to Ji Siyuan, everyone envied Huo Yuhao more.

After all, Ji Siyuan earned his ranking through his own efforts. Given his skill level, he should have easily secured a place in the rankings.

Ji Siyuan was also puzzled. Why was it neither a soul bone nor a hidden one this time?

Tang San: "Your school really knows how to stir up trouble. Now the three of you are the target of everyone's hatred."

"Uncle, why are you gloating?"

"Because to become stronger, things like this are inevitable. This is just a small pitfall, intended to motivate you to cultivate. I'm naturally happy to see it succeed."

Ji Siyuan shrugged helplessly and accepted the idea.

Wang Dong'er and Huo Yuhao were still in shock. A million gold soul coins was a lot for teenagers.

Du Weilen: "In this fierce competition, we have witnessed the outstanding abilities of many students. These outstanding students will become core disciples. The list of core disciples will be announced next."

"Ji Siyuan, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong'er..."

They didn't need to listen to the rest. Huo Yuhao grabbed Ji Siyuan's hand: "Siyuan, I'm a core disciple too, me too. I'm the only one who's reached the first ring."

In this life, Huo Yuhao has many advantages over the original story, including not only his soul spirit but also his status as Qian Duoduo's disciple.

It's quite normal for him to get a spot.

After the list of core disciples is announced, the next step is to announce the list of those who will enjoy the benefits of core disciples.

Next, Du Weilun introduced the treatment of these core disciples.

Ji Siyuan didn't need to listen; this identity had almost no impact on him.

Huo Yuhao was quite happy, as he no longer needed to rely on Ji Siyuan's status to enjoy good food.

Yan Shaozhe stood up to give his final speech, which was basically just platitudes.

Only a few sentences were useful: "Class assignments are coming up soon. I hope all students study hard and graduate on time."
