Douluo: Reborn as a Dragon, I am the Lord of Soul Beasts

Chapter 123 The Shadow of Battle

Jing Hongchen smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, you think too highly of me. These children are indeed excellent, but it is only because of their own efforts and talents. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy has always been committed to cultivating young soul masters, and I hope they can contribute to the country in the future."

Xu Tianran nodded and returned his gaze to the competition field. "Indeed, these young people are outstanding, especially your grandson and granddaughter. Their performance is beyond our expectations. Their martial soul fusion skills are so powerful that they can actually turn the tide in such a high-intensity battle."

Jing Hongchen took a deep breath, with a hint of pride and a hint of worry in his eyes, "Hongchen Longing, this martial soul fusion skill, was honed by the two brothers and sisters in countless actual combat. Although it is extremely powerful, it also consumes a lot of their physical and mental strength. Every time they use it, they have to pay a considerable price."

Xu Tianran said with emotion: "Yes, the road to becoming a genius is never smooth. Every step of progress is accompanied by countless sweat and hard work. These children from your academy will definitely leave a strong mark in the world of soul masters in the future."

Jing Hongchen turned his gaze to the rest area, where Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were receiving treatment, and the other team members were encouraging each other. Although they won the game, everyone's face was full of fatigue and scars. Jing Hongchen prayed silently in his heart, hoping that these children could go further on the road in the future.

The medical team of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy quickly took action and provided emergency treatment for each contestant. Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were in particularly serious condition, their bodies were almost at their limit, and everyone in the medical team was doing their best.

"Brother, we did it." Meng Hongchen said weakly to Xiao Hongchen while lying on the treatment bed.

Xiao Hongchen held her hand and smiled, "Yes, sister, we did it. No matter what, we won the game."

On the other side, the players of the Snow Demon Sect were also receiving treatment. Long Aotian, Vina, Gu Tong, Jiang Yixi and Chen Yu were gradually recovering under the care of medical staff. There was no loss in their eyes, only anticipation for the next battle.

"This is just a competition." Long Aotian whispered, "We will become stronger. See you next time. We will definitely win."

The match between the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy and the Snow Demon Sect was not only a wonderful duel, but also a great encouragement to all soul masters. This match allowed people to see the potential and hope of the younger generation, and also made all the contestants more determined in their beliefs.

The road ahead is still long, but whether it is the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy or the Snow Demon Sect, their players will take this game as a starting point and continue to pursue higher peaks. Every fight and every struggle will become the driving force for their growth.

This game will be remembered in the history of the Soul Master Competition and become a legend for generations of soul masters. Young soul masters will take this as an example, strive forward, constantly challenge themselves, and pursue excellence. No matter how many difficulties lie ahead, they will use their own strength to create a brilliant future of their own.

Dinghou Street in Mingdu is located in a low-rise civilian area in the western suburbs of Mingdu. Although it is called a street, it is actually just a narrow path.

The western suburbs have always been where the lowest class of civilians in Mingdu live. There are few tall buildings here, only large areas of low-rise houses. Further west is the Sun and Moon Mountains, which are made up of rocky mountains.

On Dinghou Street, there is only one small restaurant with an area of ​​only a hundred square meters and four or five tables.Not to mention gorgeous, even describing it with simplicity is already a compliment.Here are just some of the most common meals.

At this time, the sky had already darkened. But it was the busiest time in Mingdu. Especially today's thrilling semi-final, it was the topic of conversation for everyone.

Although the small restaurant on Dinghou Street was run-down, it was packed with people at this time, and even two tables were placed at the door. At a table at the back of the restaurant, three people were sitting. These three people were a little strange, because they all wore bamboo hats on their heads and had veils hanging down, so it was difficult to see their faces, and even their figures were covered by wide robes.

"I didn't expect this result." A clear female voice sitting at the innermost part sighed. Her voice was not loud, but it gave people a clear and pleasant feeling.

A female voice sounded from the right. The soft and beautiful voice was full of emotion. "Yes! Who would have thought that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy could actually defeat your Snow Demon Sect? Vina, do you know what ability they used in the end?"

The voice on the left was calm but had a special magnetism. "I don't know either. But after this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, the Sun-Moon Empire is probably truly rising, and the continent will probably never return to peace again."

The woman on the inside is none other than Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Xingluo Empire, the one on the right is Princess Vina of the Tianhun Empire, and the one on the left is Zhang Lexuan, the senior sister of the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy.

Who could have imagined that these three stunning women representing three different forces would actually gather in such a cramped little restaurant? But in a place like this, it was indeed difficult to be discovered.

The three beauties were all silent. The strength displayed by the Sun-Moon Empire had completely exceeded their expectations. In addition, the new Xu Tianran had always been a proponent of war. It was estimated that after this competition, the Sun-Moon Empire would provoke a war.

Xu Jiujiu said in a deep voice: "Sister Zhang, how is the situation over there?"

Zhang Lexuan naturally knew what she meant by asking, nodded slightly, and said: "I have discussed it with several elders, and decided to cooperate with you."

After hearing what she said, Xu Jiujiu and Vina's bodies were obviously shocked. For them, there was no news more exciting than this.

"Okay. With your help, our chances will be much greater." Xu Jiujiu was obviously a little excited and put his hands on the table. Although his voice was deliberately lowered, one could still hear the excitement in it.

Vina nodded as well. "Great! Facing a powerful enemy, we must unite as one. I hope this is a good start. No matter how powerful the Sun-Moon Empire is, it is not a monolithic entity."

Compared to Shrek Academy, the Tianhun Empire and Xingluo Empire were obviously more eager to deal with the Sun-Moon Empire. Once the Sun-Moon Empire launched an aggressive war, these two countries would be the first to bear the brunt.

Zhang Lexuan whispered, "Okay, let's discuss the details. Time is tight, and after we discuss, we can go back and make arrangements. Now you don't have to hide your action plan from us anymore."

Xu Jiujiu nodded. She had no doubts about Zhang Lexuan. First of all, with the status of Shrek Academy on the mainland, even if they did not participate in the operation, they would never leak the plan. Moreover, they had already agreed to participate. They would definitely not regret it. This was the reputation that Shrek had accumulated over the past ten thousand years. Both empires had heard about Zhang Lexuan's entry into the Sea God Pavilion. Her presence was enough to represent Shrek.

"The specific plan is this." Xu Jiujiu took out a scroll from his robe, spread it out on the table, and whispered, "We will launch attacks from three directions at the same time and try to contain the main forces of the Sun Moon Empire."

There was a detailed map on the scroll, showing the borders between the Sun Moon Empire and the two countries of Tianhun and Xingluo. Xu Jiujiu drew a few lines on the map and continued, "We will launch raids from the north, west and south. The north is the weak link of the Sun Moon Empire, and the Tianhun Empire is mainly responsible for it. The west is the main attack direction of our Xingluo Empire. The south is jointly attacked by the Tianhun Empire and the Xingluo Empire. Sister Zhang, Shrek Academy can raid from the middle as a surprise force to disrupt the defense line of the Sun Moon Empire."

Zhang Lexuan nodded, "I understand. We at Shrek Academy will fully cooperate with you. A surprise attack in the central region can indeed disrupt their deployment, but we need a precise timing." Vina interrupted, "We have arranged some spies inside the Sun Moon Empire. Once we launch an attack, they will send back accurate intelligence to help you find the best time."

Zhang Lexuan pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, we will be on standby at any time and wait for your signal. However, we also need some support, especially in terms of soul guides. The soul guides of the Sun-Moon Empire are very powerful, and we need more high-level soul guides to fight against them."

Xu Jiujiu nodded and agreed, "We have already considered this. The Tianhun Empire and the Xingluo Empire will send their strongest soul guide teams and provide the most advanced soul guides. We will make sure you have sufficient support."

The three continued to discuss the specific tactics and arrangements in detail, not missing any details. Their voices were low and firm, and there was a glimmer of hope in their eyes. This secret meeting was held for the future of the entire continent.

It was late at night, and the small restaurants on Dinghou Street were still brightly lit, but there were few pedestrians. The conversation between the three beautiful women was carried out in a tense atmosphere, and every decision they made would affect the future.

Xu Jiujiu, Vina and Zhang Lexuan finally finalized all the details, and the three of them stood up and shook hands with each other. Although they came from different forces, at this moment, their hearts were closely connected.

"We will definitely succeed." Xu Jiujiu said firmly.

"For our future," Vina added.

"For the peace of the entire continent." Zhang Lexuan said finally.

The three of them nodded, silently put away the scrolls, straightened their robes, put on their hats and veils, and quietly left the tavern.

They know that the road ahead is full of unknown dangers and challenges, but for the future of the continent, they must move forward bravely. The three figures quickly disappeared in the night, rushing to their respective missions with firm beliefs.

The first rays of dawn have appeared in the sky, heralding the arrival of a new day. The battle horn is about to sound, and the wheel of fate has begun to turn. Every person and every force will face their own fate in this catastrophe.

The small restaurant on Dinghou Street still stood quietly in the night, as if witnessing this secret meeting about the future. The wind blew, rolling up a cloud of dust and dissipating it in the air. The union of the Tianhun Empire, the Xingluo Empire and Shrek Academy will become a ray of hope for the future, illuminating the way forward for the entire continent.

……

"How is the arrangement going?" Ying Qian leaned on the couch, his eyes narrowed slightly. His eyes were shining as he stared at a man covered in black clothes who was kneeling not far from the couch.

"Your Highness, everything has been arranged. The east, south, and north are all heavily guarded by our troops. All of them are ninth-level soul guides. There are more than five fixed-type soul guide shells in each direction. With our deliberate disclosure, they should have known about this situation."

Ying Qian sneered and said, "What about the west? How are the preparations?"

The man in black said, "The west side is also ready. Those people from before are also in the west. We are still giving them the last chance."

Ying Qian nodded and said, "You did a good job. Let's arrange everything. For the next two days, we will be on level one alert. Be prepared at any time. Go down."

The man in black bowed respectfully and then quietly withdrew. Ying Qian closed his eyes slightly, tapped the armrest of the couch with his fingertips, and pondered the next strategic deployment. He knew that this layout of the Sun and Moon Empire was related to the future direction of the entire continent. Any negligence could lead to a huge failure.

He recalled the recent intelligence. The movements of the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Star Luo Empire had gradually become clear, but their true intentions still needed to be further confirmed. The involvement of Shrek Academy made this battle full of variables.

"We have to be on guard." Ying Qian whispered to himself, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes. He knew that only by grasping every detail could he ensure that the balance of victory would tilt towards his side.

"Pass on my order, the western defense line must be strengthened, especially those potential hostile forces must be closely monitored." He instructed again.

At the same time, the man in black had already left the palace quickly with the order. Ying Qian knew that this war was not only a battle of military strength, but also a competition of wisdom and strategy. He needed to plan ahead and ensure that every link was foolproof.

The coalition forces of the Tianhun Empire and the Xingluo Empire have begun to gather quietly. Xu Jiujiu and Vina's joint combat plan has been gradually implemented. Their spy network is also operating closely, constantly reporting back the movements of the Sun and Moon Empire.

"Our intelligence shows that the Sun-Moon Empire has deployed heavy troops on the east, south, and north sides, and there are ninth-level soul masters in charge." Vina whispered to Xu Jiujiu.

Xu Jiujiu nodded and said, "It seems that they have anticipated our actions. We must be more careful."

"Yes, we need to determine the situation of the western defense line as soon as possible. If the west is really their weakness, it will be our best chance to break through." Vina continued.

"I will send out the best scouts to conduct reconnaissance." Xu Jiujiu said, and then summoned one of his men and assigned the task in a low voice.

Zhang Lexuan stood on the tower of Shrek Academy, looking into the distance. She knew that the decisive moment was coming. She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that the plans of the Tianhun Empire and the Xingluo Empire would go smoothly.

"The mission of Shrek Academy is not only to train the best soul masters, but also to protect the peace of this continent." She whispered to herself, with a determined light in her eyes.

The plans of the three forces are being carried out intensively, and the defense of the Sun-Moon Empire is also being arranged intensively. The shadow of war has enveloped the entire continent, and everyone is making final preparations for the upcoming decisive battle.
