Douluo: Yu Hao Pan Tang San

Chapter 250, page 269: The Soul Master Competition Opens

At the Tian Dou Royal Hotel, a plate of boiled shredded potatoes can cost as much as 1,000 gold soul coins. The exorbitant prices here are enough to deter some minor nobles.

But this also provided a comfortable social space for the true upper class of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Five people arrived at Ning Fengzhi's private room: Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo; Ning Fengzhi himself; Xue Qinghe, representing the Heaven Dou Empire; Yu Xiaomen, representing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan; and Huo Qiqiang, representing the Body Sect.

"Sect Master Huo, and Young Sect Master Yu, welcome!" Ning Fengzhi said cheerfully.

As he spoke, he looked at Yu Xiaomen and exclaimed, "Young Master Yu is truly a hero among young men. His prowess is no less than that of the Haotian Twin Stars back then. I believe that it won't be long before the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan returns to the ranks of the top three sects."

Yu Xiaomen sat down and said, "Sect Master Ning, my father told me that my father and I are now capable of taking down the Dragon Elephant Sect and regaining our position among the top three sects. However, after Bibi Dong pushed the Dragon Elephant Sect into the top three sects, she stopped the process of re-selecting sects."

Ning Fengzhi said, "Hahaha, whether the Spirit Hall recognizes you or not is secondary. Strength is the foundation of everything. You are already a Title Douluo, and you can expect to become a Super Douluo in the future. You can even strive to become a Limit Douluo. When that time comes, if the Spirit Hall still doesn't recognize the status of your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, then the standards they set will become a joke."

Ning Fengzhi continued, "Furthermore, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has always recognized you as one of the three superior sects, not the Dragon Elephant School."

Yu Xiaomen said, "In that case, thank you very much, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Huo Qiqiang spoke up: "So, Sect Master Ning, what brings you here before the opening of the Soul Master Competition?"

Ning Fengzhi said, "I'd like to introduce someone to you, Qinghe~"

Xue Qinghe stepped out from behind Ning Fengzhi and said respectfully, "Teacher, Qinghe is here."

“Xue Qinghe, the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire, is also my disciple. I would like to introduce him to you,” Ning Fengzhi said.

Xue Qinghe also bowed to Huo Qiqiang towards Yu Xiaomen and said, "Qinghe greets Sect Master Huo and Young Sect Master Yu."

After everyone got to know each other, Ning Fengzhi got straight to the point: "Since the reform of the Spirit Hall, its strength has grown stronger and its ambitions are very worrying. Today, I have invited you all here to discuss this uncertain factor of the Spirit Hall."

After saying that, Ning Fengzhi said with concern, "In the foreseeable future, the Spirit Hall will break the order of the continent. At that time, it will be a catastrophe. All forces on our continent, the three upper sects, and the two great empires should make preparations as soon as possible."

Next, Ning Fengzhi began to promote his theory of unity and solidarity. Huo Qiqiang and Yu Xiaomen were somewhat persuaded. Although a four-way alliance was not ultimately formed, it was still a good start.

After completing this task and the people from the Body Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect left, Ning Fengzhi sighed, "I have a premonition that the next ten or twenty years will be an era of great change."

Xue Qinghe asked, "Teacher, if we unite the three upper sects and the two great empires, can we really contend with the Spirit Hall?"

Ning Fengzhi said, "I'm not sure either. We are at our best chance of winning. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has an unparalleled genius, Yu Xiaomen. The Body Sect has emerged, and I see hope for our future in Shrek Academy. Whether we can curb the ambitions of the Spirit Hall depends on the changes in the next twenty years."

Speaking of this, Ning Fengzhi thought of the Clear Sky Sect and the Clear Sky Twins. Both Tang Hao and Tang Xiao were geniuses with innate full soul power. How wonderful it would be if such geniuses hadn't killed each other, causing the Clear Sky Sect to weaken. In that case, if the Clear Sky Sect's combat power were included, they would be united. Even if the Spirit Hall had great ambitions, it wouldn't dare to act rashly. Thinking of this, Ning Fengzhi felt a pang of regret.

Shrek Academy responded to Ning Fengzhi's expectations. Initially, he paid attention to Shrek Academy because of Tang San, a genius with twin martial souls. Later, the potential shown by Shrek Academy shocked Ning Fengzhi. Within two years, Shrek Academy had cultivated three Soul Kings, and the rest of the main force was a Soul Master team. Such a configuration truly represented their future.

Unfortunately, Ning Rongrong paled in comparison to the rest of the team. The Royal Arena was packed to capacity as the opening ceremony commenced.

Teams from different academies were entering the venue. When it was announced that the Shrek Academy team had entered, everyone's eyes turned to that team.

They were dressed in a filthy green outfit covered in various advertisements—it was an eyesore!
"Ugh, what's that? It's such an ugly school uniform."

"Shrek Academy, what a terrible name."

"Look, the school uniforms even have advertisements on them. Is this school short of money? It's ridiculous!"

Immediately, a burst of disdainful laughter towards Shrek Academy rang out from the crowd.

Flander simply pushed up his glasses, a mysterious smile playing on his lips.

Liu Erlong was very dissatisfied with the change of school uniforms. At that time, Flander said: "Erlong, if we enter the competition venue wearing normal school uniforms, no one will notice our Shrek Academy. Only in this way can we catch people's attention and let the little monsters fight a beautiful victory in the competition. In this way, the entire Soul Fighting Tournament will become the stage of our Shrek Academy."

Coming to his senses, Flander's plan was progressing steadily, and people's attention had been drawn to the school uniforms he had carefully selected—uniforms that were neither ugly nor not ugly.

Shrek stood out like a crane among chickens among the various academy groups, drawing disdainful glances from all directions.

Ning Rongrong, Yu Tianheng, and Xiao Wu are a little uncomfortable.

Erming was a rough man and didn't care.

The four reborn individuals had already experienced this once before. Dai Mubai grinned and said, "I really can't wait to see how these Shrek Academy students who look down on us will view us after the first match."

Ma Hongjun asked, "By the way, who is our opponent in the first match?"

Oscar said, "If I remember correctly, it should be the vice-captain of Royal Fighting."

“Vice Captain Huang Dou, if I remember correctly, we eliminated them in one minute. We’re going to have to go through this again,” Dai Mubai said with a smile.

“Last time it was a minute, how about half a minute this time?” Tang San suggested.

"Yes, then half a minute it will be."

"That's what the emcee said."

"The next school to enter is the Spark Academy team."

Led by the Snow Maiden, the Starfire Team entered the competition venue. Unlike Shrek Academy, they wore the same uniforms as the ordinary students, so their entry did not cause much of a stir. Only the powerful figures from the mainland would pay attention to them.
