Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 204 Return of the Champion
The communication with the Hongchen brother and sister was like a mysterious scroll slowly unfolding, which added many new touches to their understanding of the profound heritage of Shrek Academy.

Zhou Sichen seemed to casually throw out one topic after another. His words were half true and half false, like a fog that confused the Hongchen brother and sister.

In this conversation, Zhou Sichen seemed to be fooling people, but in fact he was quietly collecting information, which allowed him to have a better understanding of Mingde Hall.

After all, the Sun-Moon Empire is the forefront of the development of soul guides, and there are many level-9 soul guides. The talents in the field of soul guide research are as countless as stars.

Although the Hongchen siblings kept their mouths shut and did not reveal the core secrets of Mingde Hall, Zhou Sichen still keenly captured the key information from their words - Mingde Hall did have a new breakthrough in soul guides.

This discovery caused Zhou Sichen to feel a little worried, and he also thought more about the future competition of Shrek Academy in the field of soul guides.

Although the usefulness of soul guides above the god level is limited, on the Douluo Continent, the role of soul guides cannot be ignored at all.

After all, the subsequent battle armors are upgraded bit by bit based on the soul guides, and they have enough power to kill gods.

When Zhou Sichen finished the conversation and returned to the hotel, night had already fallen quietly.

The city was lit up by tiny lights, like a sea of ​​lights. When he stepped into the hotel, he found that everyone else had packed up their things in an orderly manner. They would embark on their return journey tomorrow and head directly back to Shrek Academy.

As soon as he returned to the room, Zhou Sichen saw Ye Guyi sitting there quietly, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

Her figure looked particularly gentle under the soft light. Seeing Zhou Sichen coming in, Ye Guyi immediately stood up, walked forward with light steps and said, "The three soul bones have been distributed, and no one else has any objection."

Zhou Sichen nodded slightly, thinking back to the three soul bones he received as rewards from the competition. He was touched by Master Xuan's trust in him.

Master Xuan now truly regards Zhou Sichen as Master Mu's successor. In Master Xuan's heart, Zhou Sichen has outstanding leadership skills and a sincere heart towards the academy. Let alone a few soul bones, even if it is more precious things, he is willing to let Zhou Sichen have full authority and let him arrange it.

Zhou Sichen also carefully considered the distribution of these three soul bones.

He gave the soul bones to Gong Yangmo, Cao Jinxuan and Xu Sanshi respectively.

Each candidate has his own considerations for making such a decision.

In this competition, both the regular players and the preliminary players are a group of people fighting side by side and doing their best for the honor of Shrek Academy.

They sweat on the training ground and fight hard on the field. Everyone has made countless efforts.

Even if other people did not get soul bones, they could understand Zhou Sichen's arrangement and would not have any complaints.

Moreover, almost everyone has some guesses about Zhou Sichen's soul bone distribution.

Because among the main players, except Gong Yang Mo, all the other players have at least one soul bone. The preliminary players may not know these details very well, but the main players are very clear about them.

So, he gave a piece of soul bone to Gong Yang Mo.

This soul bone not only increased Gong Yang Mo's strength, but also made this already loyal guy even more obedient to Zhou Sichen.

After all, Gong Yang Mo had never expected to get a soul bone in this competition from the beginning. This sudden surprise made him express his gratitude to Zhou Sichen beyond words.

As for Xu Sanshi being able to obtain a soul bone, this was actually intentional by Zhou Sichen.

The qualifying team members worked very hard throughout the entire competition, and no one would complain no matter who the soul bone was given to.

But the reason why Zhou Sichen chose to give it to Xu Sanshi was, firstly, because one of the ten soul bones was indeed the most suitable for Xu Sanshi in terms of attributes and skills, as if it was tailor-made for him.

Secondly, it was because Zhou Sichen wanted to show his goodwill to him first and consolidate his position in Xu Sanshi's heart.

Zhou Sichen knew very well that Xu Sanshi's identity was not simple. In addition to being a genius of the Xuanming Sect, he also had a special identity in the Douling Empire.

Although Zhou Sichen was not sure whether he would be able to use this identity in the future, with the addition of this soul bone, it was like an invisible bond had been established between them.

When Zhou Sichen needs Xu Sanshi in the future, he will more or less remember the friendship of this soul bone and will not easily refuse.

Not to mention the distribution of Cao Jinxuan's soul bones. It is only natural for an elder brother to seek benefits for his younger brother.

Moreover, the attributes and skills of the left arm soul bone, which is more than 70,000 years old, perfectly match Cao Jinxuan's martial soul, and are just right for Cao Jinxuan.

With the addition of this soul bone, Cao Jinxuan's strength will make a qualitative leap. Both in the use of soul power and the release of skills, he will reach a higher level. In his future cultivation journey, he will also have stronger competitiveness.

Zhou Sichen sat next to Ye Guyi, a concerned look on his face, and asked softly, "Where's Xiaotao? How is she doing?"

When Ye Guyi heard this, he rolled his eyes at Zhou Sichen and said in a feigned anger, "Humph, you've just sat down and you're already concerned about Ma Xiaotao?"

Zhou Sichen smiled helplessly, stretched out his hand and gently patted Ye Guyi's shoulder, explaining: "Don't make trouble, although her martial soul was sublimated that day, her state was not completely stable. It is not easy to completely control the ultimate fire."

"Although I helped her stabilize herself, it is still unknown whether she can fully control it in the future. I am worried about her cultivation and future."

Ye Guyi looked at Zhou Sichen's serious expression, and the little emotion in her heart instantly dissipated. She said softly: "She is fine now, and is still practicing in the room. Her Fire Phoenix martial spirit bloodline has stabilized. In the future, she only needs to practice step by step, and she will be able to completely control that state."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Sichen nodded slightly, and a big stone in his heart fell to the ground.

He recalled the scene in the finals when Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Flame awakened the ultimate fire. The powerful flame power seemed to burn the whole world.

But Ma Xiaotao's condition was actually unstable at the time. She was like a ship sailing in a storm, in danger of capsizing at any time.

If she can settle down in the future, with Ma Xiaotao's current strength of seven rings, she will be able to compete with Titled Douluo.

A martial soul with ultimate attributes is so domineering and powerful that once it is fully controlled, it will surely cause a storm in the world of soul masters.

"That's good. Have a good rest today and we will set off for the academy early tomorrow morning." Zhou Sichen said, gently squeezing Ye Guyi's jade hand, his eyes full of tenderness.

Ye Guyi snorted and said in a serious tone, "Practice!"

……

On the morning of the second day, just as the sky was turning pale, the Shrek Academy group secretly left the city under the careful arrangement of Xu Jiawei.

Their actions were very secretive, like a group of shadows walking at night, without alarming anyone and no one knew their whereabouts.

After leaving Xingluo City, under the leadership of Master Xuan, everyone set out directly on the journey back to Shrek Academy.

Because they left very secretly, they did not encounter any so-called ambush along the way. It was like a peaceful journey, which was smoother than one could imagine.

Three days later. Shrek Academy, main gate.

It was almost noon, and the sunlight shone on the gate of the college, reflecting a golden glow.

It was still class time, so the entrance to Shrek Academy was very quiet, with only the occasional bird calls breaking the silence.

The small vendors who usually gather here were not there today. There were five figures standing in front of the huge gate tower. They stood there quietly, as if waiting for something important.

Standing at the front were Yan Shaozhe, Dean of the Martial Arts Department of Shrek Academy, and Xian Lin'er, Dean of the Soul Guidance Department.

The three people behind them were Cai Meir, the vice-president of the Martial Soul Department, Qian Duoduo, the vice-president of the Soul Guidance Department, and Fan Yu, a core teacher of the Soul Guidance Department who had just been promoted to the vice-president of the Soul Guidance Department.

The five deans and vice deans were all present, and the lowest level of them was an eight-ring Soul Douluo, waiting quietly here. Such a lineup was huge. They all raised their heads slightly, looking at the sky in the distance, their eyes full of expectation, waiting quietly.

Finally, those tiny black dots in the distant sky gradually became clear, like a group of birds returning to their nests, slowly descending under their gaze.

"They are back." A smile suddenly appeared on Yan Shaozhe's face, and that smile was full of relief and joy, as if he saw his children returning.

Xian Lin'er had already taken a step forward and said excitedly: "These little monsters are finally back."

There was obvious excitement in her eyes, and surprisingly, she did not confront Yan Shaozhe at any time as she usually did. At this moment, their hearts were filled with only concern for the children and pride in the honor of the academy.

Soon, one figure after another landed on the ground.

The first person that catches my eye is Elder Xuan. His figure is still tall and straight, and his eyes are kind.

Next came the fourteen regular and preliminary players of Shrek this session. They all had smiles on their faces and were full of energy, like a group of triumphant warriors.

After the baptism of the competition, they seemed to have become more mature and confident, which is the light of the winner.

Seeing this group of children, the deans all sighed.

Although Shrek Academy is the defending champion in every competition, it is rare that it wins the championship without any effort like this time.

And most importantly, because of Zhou Sichen, some cooperation was reached with the Xingluo royal family this time.

The benefits involved were so great that even these Titled Douluo couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.

This not only means that the college will be greatly supplemented in resources, but also opens up a broader path for the future development of the college.

"Kids, welcome home." Yan Shaozhe and the other four strode forward to greet them.

As they spoke, the five of them first saluted to Master Xuan to express their respect for the old man, and then came to the Shrek team who had returned with honors.

Zhou Sichen's mouth corners slightly raised, his face was filled with a humble and gentle smile, his eyes were full of respect, and he said: "Big Brother, why bother you to come out and greet us in person? We are really flattered."

Yan Shaozhe chuckled, and his hearty laughter echoed in the air. He stretched out his broad and powerful palm, gently patted Zhou Sichen on the shoulder, and said, "Boy, don't be so ungrateful. In this competition, you have won all the way and brought back the highest honor for the college. It is only natural for us to welcome you in person!"

Then, Yan Shaozhe turned around and faced all the members of the Shrek team. His voice was loud and powerful, like a huge bell: "Champions of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition! After careful decision by the Sea God Pavilion, your rewards will be distributed at the Sea God Pavilion on Sea God Island. The teacher is waiting for you there. Follow me!"

Upon hearing this, both the regular players and the preliminaries showed surprised expressions on their faces.

The eyes on those young faces were wide open, full of disbelief and surprise.

Where is Poseidon Pavilion?
In the hearts of the Shrek Academy students, it is a holy place full of mystery.

It is not only the highest meeting place of Shrek Academy, where every decision is related to the future direction of the academy; it is also the real treasure house of Shrek Academy, where countless precious soul guides, rare soul bones, ancient soul master training secrets, and all the secrets of the academy are properly kept there.

Normally, apart from the elders of Poseidon Pavilion and the four deans, no one could step into that mysterious area.

For the students in the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy, being able to enter the Poseidon Pavilion is an incomparable honor and a dream come true.

Except for Zhou Sichen and Ye Guyi, no one else had ever heard of any student being allowed to enter.

Even the seniors who represented the academy and won the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition in the previous session have never had such an opportunity.

They fought hard on the field, winning honors for the academy, but could only watch from outside the gate of Poseidon Pavilion.

Except for the extremely special exception of Beibei, the qualifying team members did not even have a clear concept of Poseidon Pavilion. They only knew that it was the core of Shrek Academy and the most mysterious and important place in the academy.

Now, they suddenly have the opportunity to enter the Poseidon Pavilion, which is undoubtedly a huge surprise for them.

Even Wang Dong, a guy who usually appears calm and composed, now felt a strong curiosity in his heart.

She frowned slightly, and the image of what the Poseidon Pavilion should look like kept appearing in her mind.

She really wanted to see whether the legendary Poseidon Pavilion was really that mysterious, and how it would look different from her own Haotian Castle.

Is it more magnificent, or does it have a unique mysterious charm?
Of course, in addition to the Poseidon Pavilion that fascinated them, at this moment, what the members of the Shrek team wanted to know most in their hearts was the teacher mentioned by Dean Yan Shaozhe.

Except for those who knew the situation, the other team members discussed the matter in low voices.

What kind of extraordinary person must be to be Dean Yan’s teacher?

Dean Yan Shaozhe has a very high prestige in Shrek Academy. His strength and knowledge are obvious to all. His way of teaching students and his deep understanding of martial spirits make every student admire him.

In the eyes of other students, Dean Yan is already an extremely powerful existence, but the teacher he mentioned now is like a mysterious figure hidden behind heavy fog, which arouses everyone's strong curiosity.

They couldn't help but think of Old Xuan, whose soul power was as high as level ninety-eight. On weekdays, Old Xuan was like a magic needle that stabilized the sea. Both his strength and status in the academy were awe-inspiring.

Master Xuan has gone through countless hardships in Shrek Academy. His experience and strength are enough to make many soul masters look up to him.

However, even Master Xuan is not Dean Yan’s teacher, so how capable is that teacher?

Did he break through the limit of level ninety-eight and reach the terrifying realm of level ninety-nine, Peerless Douluo, or does he possess an even more mysterious power?
While the team members were secretly guessing in their hearts, they followed the footsteps of Dean Yan Shaozhe.

Their eyes were full of anticipation and curiosity. They were eager to meet this mysterious teacher as soon as possible, but they were also a little nervous, imagining what kind of shocking and powerful person they would be facing.

The unknown answer, like a blazing flame, burned brighter and brighter in their hearts, making them eager to uncover the mysterious veil of this teacher.
