Chapter 269 The Round Robin Begins (Thanks for the monthly vote)
"Please come in."

The door opened, and a man and a woman stood outside. They were the brother and sister Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.

"Come in and close the door."

"Bang!" The door was closed.

The brother and sister walked up to Mu Ran and bowed.

"Greetings to His Majesty the Lotus Shan."

Mu Ran chuckled and said, "Remember, you have to call me boss from now on."

The brother and sister looked at each other, then nodded.

"After this competition is over, you two will come back with me to Shrek City and practice in the Blue Star Pavilion from now on."

"Yes." The two had been informed of these things in advance by Jing Hongchen, so they were not surprised at this moment.

"Boss, Meng and I are being closely watched by the royal family because of our identities. Once we leave, the prince will know immediately and he will definitely become suspicious. Will he make things difficult for grandpa?" Xiao Hongchen asked. This was what he was most worried about.

"Jing Hongchen and I have discussed this matter. You don't have to worry too much. Jing Hongchen is an old fox. He can still deal with Xu Tianran. Only Xu Tianran has no solid evidence. You can doubt him if you want!"

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen had stern expressions on their faces. It was hard to describe how they felt when they heard someone call their grandfather "Old Fox" in front of them.

Mu Ran raised his head with a warm smile on his face and suddenly asked, "How do you think you performed today?"

The atmosphere suddenly froze, and the brother and sister looked unhappy. Their performance was not good or bad.

"We didn't perform well." Jing Hongchen, who was always arrogant, rarely said such words.

"Brother!" Meng Hongchen stamped her feet, angry that she had lost to the same opponent again.

Mu Ran looked stern and said, "It's good that you've realized it. Let me express my opinion. In terms of the knowledge reserve of soul guides, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er can't compare with you, but in terms of the level and use of soul guides, Huo Yuhao's level is comparable to you two. In terms of martial spirits, they both have twin martial spirits, and you can't compare with them."

"Wang Dong'er is also a twin martial spirit?" Meng Hongchen couldn't believe it.

"That's right." Mu Ran nodded. Anyway, these two people have entered the Blue Star Pavilion, and Wang Donger's twin martial spirits will be exposed sooner or later.

"Shrek is indeed full of geniuses." Xiao Hongchen said with a wry smile.

Mu Ran, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, which one of them doesn't have twin martial spirits? When did twin martial spirits become so common that you can grab a lot of them?
"Don't think too much. Geniuses don't necessarily have twin spirits. Both of your spirits are top-level, but you are a little lacking in spirit cultivation. Go back to Blue Star Pavilion and study hard!"

"Yes, boss."

"I asked you to come here this time to tell you to pretend that you are not familiar with me, so as not to be noticed by the meticulous Xu Tianran."

It was late at night, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen left quietly without attracting anyone's attention.

The stars are falling in the sky, red clouds are gathering in the distance, and the morning glow is rising.

"Bang bang bang!" Someone knocked on the door again. It was Huo Yuhao.

"Boss, I want to talk to you about last night's game."

Mu Ran raised his eyebrows, "With your strength, there will be no problem."

Huo Yuhao nodded. "My second brother and I have both passed the assessment successfully and will represent Xishui League in the competition soon."

"Xishui Alliance?" Mu Ran murmured.

"Boss, there is one more very important thing. I suspect that this underground black market competition has something to do with the Holy Spirit Church. I just showed a little bit of ability similar to that of an evil soul master, but I received a lot of attention and my treatment has also improved a lot."

Holy Spirit Church, the Holy Spirit Church again. Since Huo Yuhao had already taken a small step forward, Mu Ran simply handed over the investigation of the underground black market to him.

The draw for the next round of competition has been completed. What is very speechless is that Shrek Academy, Tang Sect, and Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy are actually grouped together. Even a fool can see that this is intentional by the Sun Moon Empire officials. Maybe the draw was rigged.

Mu Ran thought it was a good idea. When the time comes, they can just destroy the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy and let Shrek Academy and Tang Sect advance together.

In this way, according to the rules, Shrek Academy and Tang Sect will not meet before the finals. This is the best result.

In the early morning, the cool air blew through Mingdu under the rising sun, bringing bursts of chill.

Now is indeed the most comfortable season in Mingdu. Today's weather is particularly good. The sky is high and the wind is clear. It is very pleasant to walk on the streets of Mingdu, which is full of soul guidance technology, and breathe in the slightly cold air.

Mingdu seems to be experiencing endless prosperity in the past few days. No matter morning or evening, most streets are filled with bustling people.

The Continental Youth High-level Spirit Master Elite Competition has finally entered the round-robin stage. The previous chaotic situation due to the large number of participating teams has completely ended. In the round-robin competition, strong teams will begin to compete with each other. Early in the morning, a large number of people have gathered in the suburbs where the competition venue is located, waiting for the start of today's exciting competition.

The rules of the round robin are obviously not as straightforward as the results of the previous knockout rounds. All thirty-two teams entering the round robin will be divided into four groups, with eight teams in each group competing in a single round robin. In other words, each team has to play one game with the other seven teams in the same group.

In the finals, eight will advance to four, four will advance to two, and the finals will be held in three rounds to determine the final champion.

The first match of the first round of the round-robin tournament will be held today. It will be a fierce competition like a planet collision between the Tang Sect and the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were a little helpless as they bumped into the Tang Sect again. To be honest, this was not a good time.

The leader of the Sun Moon Team has analyzed that the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy are on the same page, and they definitely want to squeeze them out. Therefore, the Sun and Moon team is under great pressure.

If you were eliminated in the round-robin tournament in your own country's imperial city, it would be more than just shameful.

The rest area next to the All-Continent Youth High-Level Spirit Master Elite Competition stage has been renovated in just two days. Only the original VIP rest area has been retained. The rest area has been redecorated, and the original wooden benches have been turned into comfortable sofas. After all, this place only needs to receive eight teams at the same time every day. It will no longer feel crowded.

At this time, the first group of eight teams participating in the competition this morning have all arrived, and the Shrek team is sitting next to the Tangmen team.

On the rostrum, Orange pushed the regent Xu Tianran to the main seat, helped him straighten his clothes, and sat aside gently.

Jing Hongchen appeared on the competition stage in a flash. "The first match of the first group of the round-robin competition, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team versus the Tang Sect team. Players from both teams enter the waiting area. Players for the first match of the individual competition come on stage."

Xiao Hongchen closed his eyes, then strode into the waiting area with his team members.

On the Sun and Moon team side, a young man leaped up and onto the competition stage. He was tall and had very broad shoulders. His eyes were calm, giving people a very calm feeling. He was also very handsome. His hands were particularly large, and his fingers were long. When he went there to fight, he gave people a feeling of being quite powerful.

On the Tang Sect side, Wang Donger appeared.
