Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 143 Are you in love with them?
Looking at the extremely excited children, Mr. Xuan's serious expression eased a little.

Elder Xuan said calmly: "You are all the top talents among the core disciples. I hope to see each of you in the inner courtyard in the future."

Xu Sanshi chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Master Xuan, we will definitely enter the inner courtyard."

Although the others did not behave as conspicuously as Xu Sanshi, they all showed a determined look.

Elder Xuan stopped talking nonsense and continued, "There is still one month left before the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition. From now on, you will practice with me for one day a week."

"I will take you to practice with the Shrek Seven Devils who are participating in this competition. I hope you will seize this precious opportunity and improve your strength as much as possible."

The seven people nodded and responded eagerly: "Understood!"

They were not only excited about the opportunity to participate in the competition, but also excited about the opportunity to practice with Zhou Sichen.

Needless to say, Cao Jinxuan and Long Xiangyue had been practicing separately from their eldest brother for more than a year, so they naturally missed him terribly.

Bei Bei knew that Zhou Sichen was accepted as a disciple by Xuan Zu. In addition, he had practiced with Zhou Sichen for a period of time at Xuan Zu's place and knew Zhou Sichen's terrifying strength. So he wanted to have a good cooperation with Brother Zhou.

He Caitou’s idea is similar to Beibei’s. He was able to become a fourth-level soul instructor quickly. In addition to Fan Yu’s careful teaching, the help from Zhou Sichen was also indispensable.

He Caitou has long wanted to work with Zhou Sichen.

Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan got to know Zhou Sichen because of Beibei and the others. They just felt that Zhou Sichen was a very mysterious person and didn't know whether Zhou Sichen would be one of the Shrek Seven Devils this year.

So they didn't have any extra thoughts and were just simply excited about the opportunity to participate in the competition.

Wang Dong is similar to the other two. She doesn't know what Zhou Sichen is like, but she has some guesses in her heart.

But everyone will cherish this opportunity very much, especially being able to get guidance from the super powerful Master Xuan.

Elder Xuan didn't know what everyone was thinking, so he continued, "You becoming a reserve team is a secret of the academy. No one is allowed to tell anyone, or you will be disqualified."

Everyone responded loudly: "Yes!"

Elder Xuan looked at the seven people, and finally his eyes fell on Cao Jinxuan, Long Xiangyue and Wang Dong. He said: "For the sake of winning, you second-year students should not be allowed to join the reserve team, but your performance is indeed amazing."

"Wang Dong's second soul ring is a thousand years old. Cao Jinxuan and Long Xiangyue are both soul masters at a young age. I don't ask how you improved your strength, but whether you can always occupy a place in the reserve team within five years depends on your own efforts."

After he finished speaking, he looked at everyone again: "Although you are currently the best among the core disciples of the academy, there are still so many core disciples in the outer courtyard eyeing this position covetously. There may be people who are more talented than you in the future."

"So, don't think you can keep your position now. If I find that you are not competent, I will replace you without hesitation. Do you understand?"

The seven of them looked at each other with a firm expression: "Understood!"

Wang Dong clenched her fists tightly. Before she came to Shrek, she had never thought that there would be someone in this academy who could compete with her.

After all, although she is usually busy with cultivation, her second soul ring has reached the thousand-year level. Apart from the eldest and second fathers in the Haotian Sect, who can compare with her?
Now that she has witnessed the horror of Cao Jinxuan and Long Xiangyue in Shrek, she has also developed a competitive spirit. After all, they are of the same age!
Cao Jinxuan was thirteen years old and Long Xiangyue was only twelve years old, only one month older than Wang Dong.

But now the soul power between them is ten levels apart, but she firmly believes that she will be able to surpass these two brothers in the future!
Elder Xuan glanced at the group and said, "Although you are the preliminary team members, you still need to be the captain and vice-captain. I will give you a week. When we meet next time, I hope you can give me an answer."

After saying that, Xuan Lao waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

……

After Zhou Sichen learned the list of preliminary players, he was not too surprised. After all, with the strength of Cao Jinxuan and Long Xiangyue, they were sure to win.

For this reason, Zhou Sichen went to the outer courtyard to visit Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao and comforted them for a while.

Facing Zhou Sichen's consolation, Huo Yuhao became more resolute in his heart: "Brother Zhou, now that I have reached the second ring, I can continue to stay in the academy to practice with my strength. I will definitely work harder in the future and will definitely not let you down."

Xiao Xiao nodded vigorously: "Me too!"

Wang Dong looked at her two companions in silence. Because of the need to keep it confidential, she had no way of telling them the final details, but she also hoped in her heart that Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao would get better and better.

After comforting them, Zhou Sichen leisurely prepared to go find Cao Jinxuan and Long Xiangyue.

Before Zhou Sichen had walked far, he heard someone calling him from behind: "Senior!"

Zhou Sichen stopped and turned around to see Wang Dong running towards him from behind.

She hesitated for a moment, and finally asked in a low voice: "Is the senior one of this year's Shrek Seven Devils?"

Zhou Sichen smiled slightly: "Why do you think so? I don't usually show my cultivation level."

Wang Dong guessed, "Cao Jinxuan and Long Xiangyue are both so powerful, but they have always respected you. I think you must be a super genius, right?"

Zhou Sichen still smiled: "Whether I am unimportant or not, if you want to know the answer, you will naturally know it after entering the inner courtyard."

Wang Dong nodded when he heard this, and was almost certain of his guess.

"Senior, thank you for taking care of Yuhao. He has really tried very hard. Just now after you left, he burst into tears and said that he had failed your expectations..."

Wang Dong talked a lot and Zhou Sichen just listened quietly until the end, when Wang Dong slowly said, "Senior, if possible, I hope you can help him more in the future. Besides Senior Brother Beibei and Teacher Xiaoya, he is most willing to listen to you."

Zhou Sichen patted Wang Dong's shoulder gently: "It seems that you two have a good relationship. I thank you for your concern on behalf of Yuhao."

Wang Dong opened her mouth. Why did she feel like an outsider?
She is now a disciple of the Tang Sect together with Huo Yuhao. No matter how you look at it, she and Huo Yuhao are a family, right?
Zhou Sichen said softly: "I heard that you and Yuhao have a 100% compatible martial soul fusion skill. You can achieve twice the result with half the effort by practicing together. So in a sense, you are his greatest helper. Do you understand?"

Hearing this, Wang Dong was stunned.

Zhou Sichen's soul guide flashed with precious light, and he handed Wang Dong two balls, one blue-gold and one silver-white: "As a thank you, I'll give these to you as a gift. Pick one, and give the other to Yuhao for me."

After handing the things to Wang Dong, Zhou Sichen smiled gently: "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Wang Dong took the ball, looked at Zhou Sichen's back, and a strange emotion arose in his heart.

Although she rejected soul guides, she had learned some knowledge about them. These two spheres that looked like decorations were actually top-level level five defensive soul guides.

The gifts he casually gave were so generous that she really wondered if Huo Yuhao was Zhou Sichen's brother who was stranded outside?
Although Huo Yuhao did not tell Wang Dong the details of his encounter with Zhou Sichen, he always felt that Zhou Sichen was a little too good to Huo Yuhao. He taught Huo Yuhao how to practice, taught him soul tools, provided him with practice resources, and gave him advanced soul tools and equipment...

If Zhou Sichen didn't look very young, she could even reasonably suspect that Huo Yuhao was an illegitimate child!

The value of these two top-level level five defensive soul guides is naturally self-evident.

After a long time, Wang Dong chose the small blue and gold ball and kept it, wearing it around his waist like a sachet ornament.

Wang Dong gave the silver-white one to Huo Yuhao after he returned. When Huo Yuhao received the gift, he was once again moved to tears.

A top-level trigger-type level 5 defense shield. As a soul engineer, how could he not know its value?

Huo Yuhao himself sometimes didn’t understand why Brother Zhou was so good to him, but he would keep the help in mind and repay him when he had the ability in the future.

Although Zhou Sichen didn't know what Huo Yuhao was thinking, he knew that his goal had been achieved.

Those two soul guides were indeed valuable. In addition to protecting them at critical moments, Zhou Sichen also left some fragments of the [Versatile Core] in them.

At critical moments, he can use the fragments to lock the positions of the two people, of course, provided that they are always wearing them.

Zhou Sichen did this just to be on the safe side.

As for what he was defending against, only Zhou Sichen himself knew.

Arriving at the pavilion beside Poseidon Lake, Cao Jinxuan and Long Xiangyue were waiting inside. After seeing Zhou Sichen, they both smiled.

"elder brother!"

Zhou Sichen smiled slightly: "Ah Xuan, A Yue, congratulations on your successful entry into the preliminary selection."

Cao Jinxuan and Long Xiangyue were delighted: "Thanks to big brother's help, we have made such a huge improvement."

Zhou Sichen looked at the two and nodded slightly. Both of them absorbed spirit rings above their level. Cao Jinxuan was now level 43 and Long Xiangyue was level 42, already catching up with Xu Sanshi and Beibei.

Zhou Sichen said: "No matter what, your own efforts are indispensable. You must perform well in this competition and strive to get more resources from Shrek. With the accumulation of multiple resources, you will make faster progress."

The two nodded seriously: "Understood!"

Long Xiangyue asked secretly: "Brother, are you the captain of the Seven Monsters this year?"

Zhou Sichen nodded and did not hide it from them: "Perform well when the time comes, and I will get more resources for you."

Cao Jinxuan and Long Xiangyue nodded heavily: "Don't worry, big brother. Although we are not as good as you and Sister Gu Yi, with our current strength, we can still dominate the outer courtyard. In the future, we will definitely be able to quickly catch up with you and Sister Gu Yi and become your helpers!"

Zhou Sichen laughed: "It's not just you two, there are many geniuses in the outer courtyard. Try to win over as many as you can. Strength comes from numbers."

Hearing this, Long Xiangyue showed a strange smile, leaned close to Zhou Sichen's ear and said, "Brother, let me tell you, Ning Tian seems to be interested in the second brother, and has been secretly asking him out recently!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Sichen looked at Cao Jinxuan with satisfaction.

Cao Jinxuan rolled his eyes and said, "Brother, don't listen to this kid's nonsense. Ning Tian simply wants to win me over to join the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect. His idea is similar to ours. We are all looking for good talents in the academy."

Long Xiangyue curled his lips: "Simply trying to win you over? Then why does she send you gifts every now and then? That tomboy Wu Feng told me..."

Before Long Xiangyue could finish his words, Cao Jinxuan kicked him out: "You are the only one who thinks about love all the time. If it weren't for me, I'm afraid you would be teased by those girls!"

Long Xiangyue said confidently: "Second brother, they are just appreciating my charm, okay? Are you jealous?"

Listening to the two brothers chattering, Zhou Sichen gently patted Long Xiangyue on the shoulder and said, "You should listen to Ah Xuan more. With your brain, you should read less storybooks."

Cao Jinxuan couldn't help laughing.

Long Xiangyue said innocently: "Brother, please believe me, really!"

Zhou Sichen waved his hand: "I believe it, I believe it, you don't need to explain."

As he spoke, Zhou Sichen handed Cao Jinxuan a small soul guide device: "Here are some soul guide devices prepared for you. The operation methods are also in it. Familiarize yourself with them when you have time."

Cao Jinxuan nodded seriously: "I understand."

Although he and Long Xiangyue did not need to spend time learning how to make soul guides, they still needed the basics of how to use them.

With big brother Zhou Sichen around, they basically get the top-level soul guides, which will greatly improve their strength.

Long Xiangyue looked proud: "Brother, my second brother is not as good as me in this aspect. Although his martial soul is powerful, it consumes a lot of soul power. Most soul guides don't have extra soul power to use. It's better to give it to me than to him!"

Zhou Sichen glared at Long Xiangyue and said, "You've been a little bit arrogant lately. It seems like it's time to give you some special training."

Long Xiangyue was startled when he heard this, and instantly recalled the unpleasant memories. He shook his head repeatedly: "Brother, I was wrong. I just wanted to talk. Don't you understand me?"

Zhou Sichen was too lazy to pay attention to this drama queen, and said to Cao Jinxuan: "The Sun-Moon Empire has developed the soul guide bottle technology, which can replenish the soul power of soul masters at any time. It won't be long before you don't need to worry about the soul power problem, but don't neglect training at ordinary times."

Cao Jinxuan was delighted when he heard this. Only his eldest brother, the treasure of Shrek, could get the first-hand information. He was naturally happy to hear this news.

If his soul power is sufficient, then he will become a truly unstoppable top-level control-type soul master.

The power of time is wonderful and powerful!
After chatting with the two brothers for a while, Zhou Sichen slowly left the outer courtyard.

Back in the inner courtyard, Zhang Lexuan found Zhou Sichen, looking embarrassed and hesitant to speak.

After a long while, Zhou Sichen couldn't help but ask, "Big Sister, given our relationship, just speak your mind."

After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Lexuan leaned close to Zhou Sichen's ear and whispered, "Are you dating Xiaotao and the others?"

Zhou Sichen: “?”
