Chapter 112 112. Expose
Xu Jiawei suddenly asked: "Xuan Ji, apart from the deceased and the young man, is there no trace of a third person left behind?"

Xuanji Douluo shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, this is exactly what puzzles me. Even if an Extreme Douluo wanted to kill an ordinary Titled Douluo, there would be some traces of fighting left at the scene. According to the information left at the scene, there was no third spirit master at the scene. The deceased was a Titled Douluo above level 95 who went to assassinate a teenager, but was killed by the teenager using some means."

"This series of events is very puzzling. Why would a Titled Douluo choose to assassinate a teenager under the age of twenty in Xingluo City during the Spirit Master Competition?"

"What method did that young man use to kill a Titled Douluo on the spot?"

……

"The only way to solve this series of puzzles is to find the injured boy. Your Majesty, I have a hunch that the injured boy is very likely among the students participating in the Soul Master Competition!!!"

Xuanji Douluo’s idea was exactly what everyone was thinking, but they were faced with a new problem. Did they really have to use the intelligence network in their hands to thoroughly investigate the young man?

It would have been fine if the young man had no identity. They fully utilized their home advantage and took control of this rising star in their own hands.

At this moment, the old man sitting on Xu Jiawei's left suddenly said, "Your Majesty, as for the method used by that young man to kill a Titled Douluo, I do have some clues."

Oh?
Xu Jiawei stood up quickly, looked at the old man below and asked hurriedly: "I wonder what your uncle thinks?"

"It's not a brilliant idea." The old man pondered, "I wonder if Your Majesty still remembers the book in my Xingluo Empire that records the growth path of the original Shrek Seven Devils? It clearly records that the 100,000-year-old soul beasts Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape sacrificed to Lord Poseidon, and the souls of the two soul beasts were preserved. If they encounter a crisis, the two soul beasts can even leave Lord Poseidon's body to fight."

Xu Jiawei frowned and said, "Uncle, are you saying that the young man who killed the Titled Douluo might have a ferocious beast soul hidden in his body?"

The old man said calmly: "This is just my guess, don't take it too seriously. If you want to find that boy, I can narrow down the range for you. It's best for you to start with those soul master students who have emerged in recent years and are not from well-known families."

The old man's words directly made the minds of the Title Douluo worshippers come alive. Yes, the fact that he could attract the assassination of a Title Douluo proved that there must be some unknown secrets in the heart of this young man. The resumes of the eldest sons and daughters of soul master families like Ma Rulong, Xiao Hongchen, and Meng Hongchen were transparent in the eyes of major forces. Even if there were motives in this regard, the hidden dangers had long been cleared by the families behind them.

Xu Jiawei took the Soul Master Competition registration list and after a simple elimination, he quickly locked on two people: Xu Yunhan and Huo Yuhao.

There is no need to talk about Huo Yuhao. He learned from Dai Huabin that his first soul ring is a million-year-old Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. He has both the motive to assassinate and the ability to counterattack.

According to Dai Huabin, Huo Yuhao seems to be hostile towards the White Tiger Duke's Mansion and the Star Luo Empire?

Let’s start with Xu Yunhan first.

Xu Yunhan had a deal with the Xingluo royal family, so it was not difficult to ask him out, but what reason should he use to ask him out without seeming abrupt?

It’s difficult.

……

On the other side, when it was almost lunchtime, Xu Yunhan took his harem up the stairs and sat down in a corner on the first floor. The food for the Soul Master Competition was provided by the Xing Luo Empire, and the students did not need to order. Xu Yunhan and his group waited for about ten minutes, and the table in front of them was filled with a variety of dishes.

I heard from Xu Jiujiu that during the Soul Master Competition, the meals provided by the Star Luo officials for the participating students were all equipped with dishes at a standard of 100 gold soul coins. The cost of a meal for more than 100 colleges was only more than 10,000 gold soul coins, and the ticket money collected by the Star Luo Empire every day was far more than that.

The hall on the first floor was almost full, so Wang Yan and the others walked down the stairs and sat down two tables away from Xu Yunhan and his group.

Normally, the Star Luo Empire only provides one table of free meals for each academy. Academies with a larger number of students will be divided into two tables for separate meals. If the meals exceed the free scope provided by the Star Luo Empire, an additional 100 gold soul coins will be required for meal expenses.

But the problem is that Wang Yan and others have already exceeded that limit, but no staff member dared to step forward and ask for the 100 gold soul coins for food expenses.

They are all workers, and of relatively humble status. It is not worth it to take the risk of offending the number one college on the continent just for the so-called rules.

Xu Yunhan frowned, quickly put down his chopsticks, walked to the table where Wang Yan and the others were sitting, patted Dai Huabin on the shoulder, and reminded them, "Hey, you guys should go pay for your meals."

"Food expenses?" Dai Huabin's mouth twitched slightly. He turned around and looked at Xu Yunhan behind the chair, and whispered, "Yunhan, you don't have to take it so seriously. The Xingluo Empire formulated it for those low-level colleges and has nothing to do with our Shrek College. The Xingluo Empire is not short of those 100 gold soul coins. Why do you care about this?"

Xu Yunhan: “…”

Is this just a matter of one hundred gold soul coins?
Obviously not!

This is clearly a matter of reputation for the Star Luo Empire. Since you have made the rules, you must ensure that other academies abide by them.

Just opening a backdoor for Shrek Academy is a bit...

Forget it! What does this have to do with Xu Yunhan? He doesn't plan to join the Xingluo Empire. Dai Huabin is the future Duke (Marquis) of the Xingluo Empire. He doesn't care about this matter, so what right does he have to care?

Xu Yunhan did not stay at the table of Wang Yan and others. He turned around and returned to his seat.

During the meal, nothing special happened. Everyone ate the food on their own table. There were no disputes or conflicts of interest among them.

After finishing the meal, the academies that had competitions in the afternoon, led by their respective team leaders, left the Starlight Hotel and went to the rest area to adjust their status.

The hall suddenly became much emptier.

Most of the players who stayed behind to savor the food were representatives from top academies. These people were very confident in their own abilities. Instead of watching those "playing house" games, they might as well eat more soul beast meat here to improve their own cultivation speed.
