Douluo: Evolution from the Human-Faced Demon Spider

Chapter 219 Soul Master Competition
Dozens of flames suddenly appeared in the air, accompanied by a few heart-wrenching screams, and the dozen or so men in black who ambushed Fang Chang and his men instantly became fire sticks.

Zhu Zhu saw a glimpse of the tragic scene outside through the gaps between Fang Chang's fingers, and her body couldn't help but tremble.

There were more than a dozen Soul Kings and Soul Emperors. The difference in strength between them and Fang Chang was not that big, but why did they have no ability to resist at all in Fang Chang's hands? She was full of doubts.

Also, what Fang Chang has done during this period of time and the attitude of the higher-ups in the academy towards him, there seems to be something wrong no matter how you think about it.

The screams gradually subsided, and the dozen or so men in black were burned to ashes. Only then did Fang Chang remove his hand from her face.

She didn't give in, her eyes wide open, staring straight at Fang Chang, "You've hidden your strength, haven't you?"

In fact, when asking this question, Zhu Zhu was already about 80% sure in her heart, but out of curiosity she couldn't help but ask.

She could understand this kind of thing very well. For one thing, she was once a hundred thousand year old soul beast, standing at the top of the continent, and her knowledge was much higher than that of a human soul master of this level.

Secondly, she also understood how dangerous soul beasts were in human society after they had transformed and rebuilt. It was not surprising that they would hide some of their strength under such circumstances.

Fang Chang did not answer her directly. Instead, he walked towards the charred bodies, picked up a few yellow and black tokens from them, and threw them at Zhu Zhu.

"Have you seen these things before?"

"Let me take a look." Zhu Zhu took the token, frowned, and wiped the stains on the token with her sleeve to identify it carefully.

"This... seems to be the symbol of the royal family of the Sun-Moon Empire." She said uncertainly, "I think I have seen it in this city before."

She came closer with some worry, "It must be because of Xu Sheng's incident. When you were in Spider God Academy, they didn't dare to do anything to you because of the prestige of the three empires and Spider God Academy."

"But now that you are in their territory, they will not let you go so easily."

She hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't you go back first and let the seven of us go to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition."

Fang Chang rubbed her head without commenting, "It's nothing, just a royal family of the Sun Moon Empire, it can't scare me."

"Besides, I came to Sun Moon City this time because I have other things to deal with."

The main reason why Fang Chang came back this time was to investigate the Tang Sect and the so-called Spider Hunter organization. Taking part in the Soul Master Competition was just a matter of convenience.

"Oh." Zhu Zhu curled her lips, "Then you better be careful. If anything happens to you, I won't care about you."

Although Fang Chang said it clearly, his meaning was very clear. He must have hidden his strength, but how much real strength he has now is a question.

Judging from the fact that he was able to easily defeat the Soul King and Soul Emperor-level assassins of the Sun-Moon Empire just now, he is probably at least at the level of Soul Sage or even stronger, Zhu Zhu silently guessed in his heart.

"Let's go. The place you said you were going to take me to isn't there yet." Fang Chang quickly changed the subject.

Zhu Zhu was stunned for a moment before she remembered this matter. "Let's go. We're almost there."

She took Fang Chang all the way to the westernmost part of the city, passed through a slum, and came to a small river.

There are countless floating lights drifting in this river, showing dots of light yellow in the night, which decorates the night scene very beautifully.

"We're here. This is the place I was talking about. When I was in Sun and Moon City, my favorite thing to do at night was to come here and look at these floating lanterns." She explained to Fang Chang.

"In the Sun-Moon Empire, there is a custom that if someone in the family dies, they will light a floating lantern in the river on their birthday, death anniversary, or other festivals. This can be considered as a way to express the family's grief."

"And this happens to be the entire river, at the widest part of the city, where the water flows the slowest, and these floating lights often gather here for a while." When she said this, there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.

Fang Chang said nothing and asked no questions. He just stood quietly beside her.

It was not until the night grew dark that the two turned back and returned to their residence in the city.

Fang Chang did not tell anyone else what happened that night, and Zhu Zhu was considerate enough to choose to keep it secret for him.

Almost a month passed like this, until the start of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition, when the two instructors led everyone into the tournament's venue, Shrek Academy.

The architectural style here is in line with the trend of the Sun and Moon Empire. There are mostly tall buildings, full of modern atmosphere, but the students' uniforms are still that dark green color.

This made Fang Chang frown. What made him feel bad was that he heard that the name "Shrek Seven Devils" was still retained in this academy.

Just from these two points, it is clearly proved that this place must be related to the Shrek Academy that was destroyed by the Spirit Hall, but who is it?
There were still two days before the official competition began. Fang Chang and his group were simply taken to the accommodation arranged for them by Shrek Academy, and there was nothing else to do.

"Teacher, it seems that the students of Shrek Academy are not weak either." Yu Nantian was a little worried. He had met several students here who were not inferior to them along the way.

"Of course, they are also one of our two main competitors in this competition." The team leader's mentor was a little helpless.

"These two academies happen to be both in Sun Moon City. One is Shrek Academy, and the other is the Royal Spirit Master Academy of the Sun Moon Empire."

"Among these two schools, the Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Master Academy is the best in the world in terms of soul guides. I believe you have also seen their fighting style in the past few days."

"And Shrek Academy is known for recruiting monsters. There are always one or two little monsters in every competition."

"Not only that, because of the advantages they have in Sun Moon City, their achievements in soul guides are also higher than ours."

"If not..." He glanced at Fang Chang secretly, "But don't worry, I have great confidence in you. You will definitely be able to defeat them this time."

"Oh." Yu Nantian and the others were a little discouraged. After hearing what their instructor said, it seemed as if their Spider God Academy was the worst among these teams.

Fang Chang looked at the noisy scene in the academy and his expression gradually became abnormal.

Shrek Academy? Since I destroyed you once ten thousand years ago, I will destroy you again this time.

His spiritual sense swept through the academy unscrupulously. The current strength of Shrek Academy was not much different from that of Spider God Academy.

Two Titled Douluo and more than a dozen Soul Douluo, such strength may seem good to others, but it is nothing to him.
