Xu Yanli leaned back against the car wall and let out a long sigh.
"We'll find a place to settle down once we get to the city," he said. "We'll go scout out the competition venue tomorrow."
Yue Zhengling responded and turned to instruct the coachman to speed up.
The caravan quickened its pace in the twilight, heading towards the enormous city.
The wheels rolled over the official road, raising a trail of dust.
Xu Yanli leaned against the car wall, closed his eyes, and began to gently tap his knees with his fingers again.
The first test is to grasp the essence.
What is the essence of destruction?
What is the essence of life?
He thought about it for a long time, but couldn't figure it out.
Forget it.
He opened his eyes and looked at the approaching Star Luo City and Shrek Academy in the distance...
I wonder how much Shrek Academy will suffer this time. You know, in the original story, nothing happened because Huo Yuhao made the younger students wear invincible shields, and in the end, it was Huo Yuhao who was kidnapped, and Huo Yuhao had Electrolux.
Otherwise, another one will die.
Xu Yanli suddenly thought of something and gently nudged Long Xiaoyao: "Is that Xuanzi a member of the Holy Spirit Cult?"
Long Xiaoyao was completely dumbfounded, almost saying, "Your Highness, have you gone mad?"
Xu Yanli coughed awkwardly twice, then turned his head and put on the mask.
Xu Yanli walked towards the carriage and paused, looking at the Star Emperor Hotel. This was the best hotel in the Star Luo Royal Family, used to accommodate contestants from advanced Soul Master academies or Soul Master Academyes from various countries.
Xu Yanli, with the folding fan in his hand and the air of a spoiled young master, walked into the Star Emperor Hotel.
"This is the Sun Moon Royal Soul Teacher Academy. Why isn't the first person wearing a school uniform?"
"Wearing a mask, he seems so mysterious. Maybe he's up to some crazy idea because he can't beat Shrek Academy."
A cacophony of voices rose in the lobby of the Star Emperor Hotel.
Xu Yanli walked straight in, almost ignoring the people, and then went to the registration area: "Old Ma, come and complete the formalities."
As Xu Yanli spoke, he tapped the fan little by little.
"Yes." The man addressed as Old Ma replied respectfully before stepping forward to complete the formalities.
Xu Yanli, watching from the side, noticed that they were struggling in a second-class room and sneered.
The most luxurious room should of course be given to Shrek, after all, he is the champion, even though his reputation is now as bad as it gets.
However, as long as this academy remains the champion, his status here will still be secure.
But it doesn't matter, the glory of Shrek Academy will soon belong to their Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
After completing all the formalities, Xu Yanli took the key and went straight to the room she was to stay in at the academy.
After entering his room, Xu Yanli noticed that no one else had gone in, so he gently knocked on the door to signal everyone to pay attention: "In one hour, everyone will have a short meeting in the small conference room next door."
After giving the instructions, Xu Yanli did nothing else and returned to his room.
Xu Yanli lay on the bed, looking depressed. He hadn't expected that the first test would be to make him comprehend the essence of some kind of law.
Life destroyed...
After fidgeting on the bed for a moment, Xu Yanli turned over unhappily and wrapped the blanket around himself.
Holding the mask he had just removed, he felt a sense of inexplicable dejection.
Xu Yanli set a timer and then began to review his cultivation until his alarm clock rang.
Xu Yanli then got up and walked towards the door.
Upon arriving at the conference room, Xu Yanli sat in the head seat, while the others sat in the next seat.
As for Long Xiaoyao and Kong Deming, they didn't get involved in this matter and went to rest on the side. After all, it wasn't important to them; their task was to protect the safety of this group of students.
After a moment of silence, Xu Yanli said, "Everyone should know the rules of the competition. Our first match is an elimination round, so we need to win beautifully and in a way that looks good. I will participate in the previous matches, but I will not participate in the subsequent round-robin matches. However, if any of you get injured on the field, I will treat you."
"Have you all decided on the participants for the round-robin tournament?" Xu Yanli tapped the table and asked the team leader, Teacher Ma.
"Your Highness, please make the arrangements. We..." Old Ma stammered.
Xu Yanli glared at them irritably, then looked at Huo Yuhao and the others beside her: "Alright, I'll announce the lineup for the next round: Huo Yuhao, Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, Tang Ling, Xiao Xiao, Ji Juechen, and me."
"Isn't this team a bit too big?" Old Ma asked hesitantly.
Chapter 107 The Competition Begins
"Don't worry, the others are just there to make up the numbers. Next, Huo Yuhao, Xiao Hongchen, and I will form the attack team. The others should not make any moves from behind." Xu Yanli sneered.
"I want to show them that even if our team only sends three people, we can completely defeat them."
“The Shrek team should be even stronger, so we need to be careful not to expose our abilities,” Old Ma said slowly after a moment of silence.
Xu Yanli chuckled: "Don't worry, they will only see Xiao Hongchen's cannons or my Angelic Martial Soul. They will know nothing else. Alright, meeting adjourned. Everyone, cultivate well."
After Xu Yanli finished speaking, he left directly and returned to his dormitory to sit cross-legged.
In fact, if he hadn't known from the beginning that Mu En was on the verge of death, he wouldn't have been so bold as to directly use his Sun and Moon Sacred Prayer Angel Martial Soul.
With Long Xiaoyao's protection, it can be said that apart from Ye Xishui, no one else is qualified to threaten him anymore.
In addition, he had just received news that the Sect Master of the Body Sect, Poison Undying, had also arrived.
It's said they went to see a Shrek Academy show, but who knows what it was for?
However, this time the Star Luo Empire really went all out; everyone received an invitation to their bedroom.
This time, they didn't have the Snow Emperor's embryo. What did they use as a substitute, claiming it to be a treasure from heaven and earth?
Xu Yanli touched the invitation and chuckled softly.
However, this peace and quiet did not last long.
A knock came from outside the door.
Xu Yanli got out of bed, opened the door, and looked outside.
"The Shrek Academy team has sent word," Elder Ma said respectfully. "Shrek Academy has arrived. There are only nine of them, and only three of them are older; the rest are all children, and they are all seriously injured."
Xu Yan paused, then said, "In that case, if they don't send any senior students to the finals, then we won't either. After all, we need to win convincingly, otherwise even if we win the championship, people will say we won by chance."
"But……"
Seeing the hesitation on his face, Xu Yanli gently tapped his head: "Don't worry, if anything goes wrong, I'll take full responsibility. You don't need to take responsibility for me. Let's do it this way. Don't bother me unless it's absolutely necessary."
Xu Yanli walked back to the bedside, sat down, and gently tapped the sheets. Just as he had expected, the casualties seemed to have become more serious.
There's one less character than in the original story, since Huo Yuhao isn't in it.
However, it's unclear who will be missing this time, and whether the other party's family will cause trouble.
Oh, and Zhang Lexuan, who came to seek refuge with him last time, has already been arranged to go to Xingluo City. She will be going back with them this time.
I wonder how many Shrek Academy students they can seduce this time, even if they end up using the excuse of eradicating evil spirit masters to play the victim.
It doesn't matter. Just tell them that they are facing a Soul King with five rings, and everything they said will be resolved.
After all, a group of Soul Emperors and a Super Douluo accompanying them couldn't defeat a Soul King with five rings.
Xu Yanli thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. He couldn't understand it when he read the original novel, and he still couldn't understand it now.
He also asked Long Xiaoyao if Xuanzi was an undercover agent of their Holy Spirit Cult.
Unfortunately, the answer was no.
Even so, Xu Yanli still firmly believed in the judgment he made when he read the book back then.
Even that five-ring Soul King seems more powerful than the protagonist.
Time flies, and two days have passed. When the first rays of sunlight shine into Xingluo City in the morning, the entire city exudes an indescribable solemn atmosphere.
At this time, in the Star Luo Empire's imperial palace.
"Oh, you mean the Sun Moon Empire sent a prince to participate in the competition?" Xu Jiawei chuckled, then turned to the empress beside him and said, "Sigh, do you think I should detain him here as a bargaining chip?"
“Your Majesty, I don’t think it’s necessary. If he dares to come, he’s either an unfavored and insignificant prince, or he’s absolutely certain he can return,” the Empress said in a deep voice.
“You’re right,” Xu Jiawei sighed. “But it’s strange, I’ve been investigating that prince’s information, but I haven’t found anything.”
"Then that further demonstrates the prince's extraordinary nature, doesn't it?" The Empress gently patted Xu Jiawei's shoulder.
"You're right." Xu Jiawei sighed silently, his eyes filled with pride and longing as he looked at his daughter who was cultivating nearby.
It seemed as if she was looking through the figure of another person.
His dear sister, what a pity, she wants to compete with him for the throne, otherwise he would have been willing to give her the most prestigious status and make her the empire's eldest princess.
Hmph, but my father even considered making my elder sister the crown prince. Fortunately, the divine realm punished him by destroying my elder sister's martial spirit, otherwise I might not have had the chance to become emperor.
Xu Yanli looked out the window, a cold smile playing on his lips.
Xu Yanli put on his mask and followed the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy into the contestant area to take his place.
Xu Yanli can be said to be the most handsome guy in the entire Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, after all, he is the only one who is not wearing a school uniform.
It's not that he didn't want to wear it, it's just that he didn't have a school uniform and had always forgotten to get one made.
Jing Hongchen thought Xu Yanli simply didn't want to wear the school uniform, so she didn't approach him. Xu Yanli really didn't want to wear the school uniform, even though the school uniform was very nice, it always gave him a very miserable feeling.
The main problem was that Xu Yanli himself had forgotten about it.
Xu Yanli watched the Shrek Academy team with a leisurely air.
There are quite a few people he knows in it.
Dai Yueheng, Zhu Lu, Xu Sanshi, Bei Bei, Jiang Nannan, and Lan Luoluo.
A hint of suspicion flashed in Xu Yanli's eyes. Logically speaking, the two sisters should have appeared together. It seemed that if she was not mistaken, the one who died should be Lan Luoluo's sister.
It's such a pity that such a promising young life was wasted by Shrek Academy.
At the third watch of the night, a shout of "Silence!" echoed throughout the entire venue.
