To allow the players to rest and recharge, the quarterfinals have been scheduled for the day after tomorrow.

Tonight, after the quarterfinals draw, in a private room at an elegant restaurant that Huo Yutong and others often frequented during their studies abroad, Mingdu family...

Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, Youling Nana, He Caitou, Ning Tian, ​​Xiao Xiao, Huo Yutong, Ji Juechen, and Jing Ziyan reunite.

Ji Juechen put down his cup and dropped a bombshell: "Ziyan and I are engaged."

Upon hearing this, Hongchen and his sister, as well as Nana, were all taken aback, their faces filled with astonishment, which quickly turned into sincere congratulations.

Jing Ziyan's cheeks flushed slightly, but she couldn't hide the happiness in her eyes. She gently held Ji Juechen's hand and said, "Our two families are both in Mingdu. Taking advantage of this All-Continent Elite Tournament, it was only natural for our two families to meet."

"When we first heard that Senior Ji and Sister Ziyan were together, we were absolutely stunned," Xiao Xiao joked with a smile, and the others at the table nodded in agreement.

At this moment, a sly glint flashed in Meng Hongchen's eyes as she rested her chin on her hand and asked, "By the way, is that handsome guy named Wang Dong also from Shrek Academy? Does he have a girlfriend?"

"Him? He's single." Xiao Xiao curled her lips, giving off an expression that said, "Another girl fooled by looks." "With his personality, no one could stand him. He's a narcissist. To be honest, I was a 'face fan' in my younger days, but it turns out that apart from his looks and talent, Wang Dong is absolutely terrible at interpersonal relationships."

"I second that." Ning Tian grumbled, gulping down a large mouthful of juice. "My performance as captain... well, it's a long story. Individual matches are alright, nobody cares about him when he's fighting alone; team matches? Ha, that's a disaster."

Ning Tian became increasingly angry as he spoke: "Wang Dong doesn't understand what cooperation means at all. He just says things like, 'Anyway, none of you can beat me, so I can fight however I want.'"

As for Tang Zang, those who know him will think he's related to you, but those who don't might think he's your young master!

As for Dai Huabin, with that "I only obey those stronger than me" attitude, I'm a support-type Soul Master, am I supposed to defeat him?

Xiao Hongchen had been listening silently, but suddenly interjected, "I have a question. You guys never seemed to use 'Netherworld White Tiger' in your previous matches, so why did you use it in our battle...?"

That was a very pertinent question, and the atmosphere instantly became a little more subtle.

Ning Tianqian chuckled and said, "Well... it's because Nana's flashbang that day angered Xiaolu. Xiaolu only reluctantly agreed to fuse her martial soul with Dai Huabin so that she could teach you guys a lesson in the team battle."

"Even so," Xiao Hongchen keenly grasped the key point, "why didn't you even use the Martial Soul Fusion Technique before?"

A brief silence fell over the private room.

Xiao Xiao broke the silence: "You guys know that our academy has a 'Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event,' right?"

Ning Tian sighed and revealed the answer: "Because Dai Huabin and Wang Dong both chose Yu Tong in the Sea God's Fate event."

In an instant, three pairs of eyes fixed on Huo Yutong.


Xiao Hongchen tilted his head back and gulped down a large mouthful of iced drink.

"Speaking of the competition, I really doubt that my brother and I checked the almanac before we went out." Meng Hongchen curled his lip, looking utterly unlucky. "Our luck with the draws is worse than the last."

"Our coach didn't say that before the competition. He analyzed all the teams and confidently stated that our strength was firmly among the top."

Ghost Nana chimed in, "Before the tournament, we also played a friendly match against Mingdu Soul Master Academy, and we won big."

"I agree with that." Xiao Hongchen regained his usual confidence. "Mingdu only has one Soul Emperor at most, while we have three Soul Emperors here."

"What are the specific arrangements in Mingdu?" He Caitou asked with great interest.

"There's not much to say about Soul King level players; their strategies are similar to our team's Soul Kings," Xiao Hongchen analyzed.

Meng Hongchen suddenly winked mysteriously, keeping everyone in suspense: "But that Soul Emperor is someone we can talk about. Her name is—Xu Tianzhen."

"A member of the Sun and Moon Royal Family?" Ning Tian reacted quickly, instantly grasping the key element of the surname.

"You guessed right!" Meng Hongchen snapped her fingers. "Guess what her martial soul is?"

"When it comes to the Sun and Moon Royal Family, it's nothing more than their three inherited martial souls—the Sun, the Moon, and the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon," He Caitou replied slowly.

"That's right, Princess Tianzhen's martial spirit is 'Sun'." Meng Hongchen's tone was somewhat solemn. "She is the only daughter of the current emperor."

He Caitou (Xu He)'s fingertips trembled almost imperceptibly. That martial spirit... was exactly the same as my father's.

"Isn't Senior Zhang Lexuan a Moon Martial Soul?" Xiao Xiao thought of the senior from Shrek Academy.

Huo Yutong also spoke up: "When my uncle told me and Qiu'er bedtime stories, he said that Zihuang Mietianlong was the companion dragon of the Dragon God and the ancestor of all dragons. Later, she led a part of the dragon race to betray the Dragon God and was eventually killed by the Dragon God himself."

She then added, "Qiu'er is Uncle's adopted daughter."

Ji Juechen's gaze narrowed slightly. "Although I've only observed him from afar a few times, my swordsman's intuition tells me that senior... is ridiculously strong. He's the strongest person I've ever seen in my life."

"Strong is an understatement," Xiao Xiao clicked her tongue, "That senior really beat Elder Xuan to a pulp."

Ning Tian added at the opportune moment, "The whole of Shrek City saw it that day. Elder Xuan was wrapped up like a giant mummy, and Dean Yan and Vice Dean Qian personally carried him back. The students of our academy were all dumbfounded by that scene."

Upon hearing this, the Hongchen siblings and the ghost Nana were all shocked, their pupils shrinking sharply.

To be able to beat a level 98 Super Douluo to that extent... doesn't that mean that senior was at least a Limit Douluo?!

"But I wonder," Ji Juechen posed a more weighty question, "who is stronger, that senior or the Beast God Di Tian of the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

Only Huo Yutong lowered her eyes, concealing a helpless smile in them.

They're not two people, they're clearly the same person... no, the same dragon.

Huo Yutong couldn't help but smile, several images already flashing through her mind—

When they find out that the uncle they used to compare with the Beast God, and the world-renowned Beast God Di Tian they talked about, are actually her uncles... just thinking about their dumbfounded and disbelieving faces is enough to make one feel happy.

I really can't wait for that day to come.

As the casual conversation subsided, the atmosphere in the private room became increasingly harmonious.

As night fell in the capital, the dinner party, which brought together old friends, finally came to a close amidst laughter and joy.
