Chapter 119 Xue Qinghe
Tang Nian understood that if she lost on the field, the Shrek Academy students would be affected to some extent, which was not what she wanted to see.
So no matter what, she had to win. As a result, Tang Nian worked even harder in the face of the teachers' competition, and everyone praised her highly.
The master found this somewhat strange. Although he wasn't as familiar with Tang Nian as he was with Tang San, he had been her teacher for so long that he had a clear understanding of her.
Tang Nian's current desperate behavior is clearly not right.
So after the training session ended that day, the master approached Tang Nian.
Tang Nian had just finished dinner and came out of the college cafeteria.
As dusk fell, a faint red glow gradually appeared on the horizon, and the sun slowly sank below the horizon, casting its afterglow upon the earth.
When Tang Nian saw the master, she felt a huge weight lifted from her heart. She had long felt that the master would come looking for her sooner or later, but she didn't expect this day to come so soon.
So when Tang Nian saw the master, she didn't show any surprise on her face. The two of them followed behind him and headed towards the master's office.
After entering, the master poured Tang Nian a glass of water before asking, "You've been acting a little strange lately."
Tang Nian did not refute, but nodded naturally and said, "The next round of the competition is about to begin, and I'm a little nervous about it."
The master looked at Tang Nian with some puzzlement and said, "Everyone has seen your strength, and your cultivation speed is the fastest among everyone. What's there to be nervous about?"
The words "My soul power has been stuck at level 53 and hasn't moved since" stuck in Tang Nian's throat for some reason, and she just couldn't bring herself to say them.
Left with no other choice, she had to reveal the story of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation.
Upon hearing this, the master looked at Tang Nian with a shocked expression and asked, "You mean that three of the people from the Spirit Hall Academy who are participating this time are at the Soul King level?"
Tang Nian nodded firmly. She believed that Shi Ye would not lie to her. Moreover, Shi Ye was a Title Douluo-level expert. Even if not many people on the Douluo Continent knew about him, he must have more information than they did.
Tang Nian undoubtedly believed in Shi Ye unconditionally.
The master's expression suddenly turned serious. He also thought that the students from the Spirit Hall would be very strong this time, but in his estimation, they should only be slightly stronger than those from Shrek Academy.
The Grandmaster never expected that the Spirit Hall Academy had such a backup plan.
He immediately lost interest in discussing the recent training issues with Tang Nian, and simply said, "I will discuss this matter with Flander and find a solution. You don't need to overthink it. Training needs to be done gradually, and you should take care of your health."
Tang Nian nodded to indicate that she understood, and after exchanging a few more words, she left.
……
The qualifying rounds of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament are not like the preliminary rounds.
The qualifying tournament is divided into two empires, with teams that pass the qualifiers competing in their respective empires. However, the three teams that advance to the finals will not participate.
In order to protect the privacy of the Soul Masters, this competition is not open to the public and can only be seen by the participants.
This qualifying round is being held at the Royal Hunting Grounds of the Heaven Dou Empire, where the Royal Knights are stationed. The grounds were opened specifically for this competition.
In order to prevent each team's opponents from observing the teams in the competition, they were all placed in different locations.
The Shrek team took out their competition credentials and handed them to the knights guarding the door.
They were then led inside by the captain of the third squad of the Knights. This competition was being held in the military camp, with everyone's safety and privacy being protected throughout.
After leading everyone to the Shrek Academy location, General Rosen quickly left.
Without delay, everyone chose a tent and moved in.
Tang San had heard about the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation from Grandmaster, and he wanted to ask Tang Nian for more details, so the two stayed together.
No one expected that they would meet two unexpected people. One of them was Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and the other was actually Xue Qinghe, the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Tang San had met Xue Qinghe before, so even though he was somewhat surprised, he still bowed to him and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Xue Qinghe was dressed in ordinary noble attire today; in fact, one would not associate his clothes with the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire.
But actually, Tang San's action was to remind Tang Nian who was standing to the side, and also to subtly tell Tang Nian about Xue Qinghe's identity.
After all, he is the Crown Prince. Although Tang Nian is not usually the type to actively cause conflict with others, some things are unpredictable, and it's best to be absolutely certain.
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
Tang Nian understood Tang San's meaning and reacted quickly by bowing to Xue Qinghe, saying, "Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe inevitably turned his gaze to Tang Nian. As the Crown Prince, how could Xue Qinghe not know about the preliminary rounds of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament?
Tang Nian has already distinguished himself in the competition between Shrek Academy and Blazing Fire Academy, becoming a Soul King at a young age and possessing two rare 100,000-year Soul Rings.
It's safe to say that anyone who pays even a little attention to the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament would be aware of Tang Nian's existence.
Moreover, Xue Qinghe could not possibly be one of those few people who didn't pay attention.
Xue Qinghe curled his lips, completely devoid of the arrogance of a crown prince, a stark contrast to Xue Beng.
"I've heard about your performance in the preliminaries. I was fortunate enough to come with Father to watch the qualifying rounds and also to visit you, Brother Tang. I just didn't expect to run into your sister as well."
From Xue Qinghe's tone, it was clear that he was merely interested in strong opponents and had no ill intentions. "Tang Brother's sister only played once in the preliminaries. I really hope to see you play more often in this qualifying round."
Tang Nian's expression remained unchanged, neither humble nor arrogant, and she was not intimidated by the fact that the other party was the Crown Prince. "If I have the opportunity, I would naturally like to participate in the competition."
It was Tang Nian's reaction that made Xue Qinghe take another look at her.
Tang San then stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Shrek Academy will definitely do its best in this qualifying round."
Xue Qinghe nodded slightly and said, "You two shouldn't call me Crown Prince anymore; it's too formal. If you don't mind, how about calling me Brother Xue?"
Tang Nian and Tang San exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Brother Xue."
