Douluo Continent: A Fallen Immortal Descends to Earth, Slaying Gods with a Drunken Sword

Chapter 464 The main force of the reserve team participates in the Soul Master Competition (Bonus Chapter)
"Star Luo City is just ahead."

on the official road.

Zhang Lexuan gazed at the majestic city in the distance.

Following her gaze, everyone gasped in surprise.

Shrek City was magnificent.

But compared to the capital of the Star Luo Empire, it ultimately lacked some of the imperial grandeur.

The city walls of Xingluo City are over a hundred meters high, constructed entirely from single massive rocks, and cover an area of ​​over a thousand square kilometers. The widest streets are wide enough to accommodate sixteen horse-drawn carriages traveling side by side.

When Shrek and his group arrived at the city gate.

Upon seeing their school uniforms, the guards immediately bowed respectfully.

The highest level of travel privileges were granted.

Enter the city.

The city was even more prosperous and bustling.

Carriages and horses flowed like a river, vendors gathered in droves, and the cries of vendors rose and fell along the street.

This megacity, with a permanent population of eight million, can accommodate up to twenty million people at its peak.

And recently.

The whole city did indeed seem exceptionally crowded.

All hotels were already fully booked, so the royal family had to requisition some private residences and open the official residence as temporary accommodations.

All of this is because the once-every-five-years Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament is about to begin.

The group went straight into the inner city.

On the east side of the Imperial City Square stands a seven-story "Star Emperor Hotel".

This royal property.

This facility is specifically for receiving participating teams from various colleges and universities.

As the defending champions and the top academy on the continent, the Shrek team was accommodated in a luxurious suite on the top floor, complete with a private conference room.

After a short rest.

Fourteen team members gradually gathered in the meeting room.

Compared to the solemnity of Ma Xiaotao and her six companions, Xu Sanshi and the others in the reserve team appeared quite relaxed.

Before Zhang Lexuan arrived.

They even discussed nighttime outings with great interest.

"Since we're all in Xingluo, we definitely have to do some sightseeing!"

"I heard the night view is even more beautiful!"

Let's go join the fun tonight!

"Huo Yuhao, are you going?"

A series of light footsteps approached from afar.

As Zhang Lexuan entered the conference room, the noise gradually subsided.

She took her seat at the head of the table, her gaze sweeping over the reserve team members. Without a word of pleasantries, she went straight to the point:

"I received a message from the college."

"Barring unforeseen circumstances, the reserve team will be the main force in this competition."

"what?!"

"what?!"

Two exclamations rang out almost simultaneously from the first team and the reserve team.

Ma Xiaotao immediately slammed her hand on the table and stood up, urgently saying:
"Senior Sister, Team One is in great form, why won't you let us play?"

Dai Yueheng, Chen Zifeng, and others could not hide their excitement, their knuckles turning white from gripping the air so tightly.

"The reserve team is quite strong, but they are ultimately too young. Wouldn't it be better if they participated in the next edition?"

"Although Shrek Academy has won the championship again, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is still eyeing it covetously. Isn't this decision too hasty?"

Compared to the team's fierce reaction.

Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and the others were completely stunned.

They originally thought this competition was just a training opportunity with the team.

To accumulate experience for the next session.

Who would have thought he would be the main player?

Huo Yuhao frowned.

Since the main team is all safe and sound, why send out the reserve team?

He looked up at Zhang Lexuan.

He met those calm, dark, beautiful eyes.

Their eyes met.

A sudden realization dawned on him.

It must be because Elder Mu knew the future trajectory.

Even though they changed the team's fate, they still chose to follow the path that led the reserve team to victory.

Zhang Lexuan sat in the main seat.

They let Ma Xiaotao and her six friends vent their dissatisfaction.

As the noise subsided.

She then calmly spoke:
"Finished?"

"All I can tell you is that this is the teacher's decision."

"It's not that you can't play, it's just that the main players are being given to the reserve team."

Hear this.

Dai Yueheng and the others opened their mouths, but in the end they could only resign themselves to their fate and sit down.

Everyone in the inner courtyard knows that Zhang Lexuan's teacher is none other than the mysterious Lord of the Shrek Sea God Pavilion.

Ma Xiaotao still wouldn't give up.

"But Senior Sister..."

"The first round is an elimination tournament; one loss means elimination with no chance of recovery."

"Shrek, as the previous champion, will be the first to go on stage to draw lots."

"Does this mean the reserve team will be playing even in the knockout stage?"

Zhang Lexuan's gaze was calm as she nodded slightly.

"Yes."

"..."

Ma Xiaotao's lips twitched slightly, but she ultimately sat down in silence.

The current Shrek Seven Devils, led by her, all looked at Bei Bei and the others with complicated expressions.

At last.

All eyes turned to Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao is indeed formidable."

"But the Soul Master Competition is ultimately a team competition, and all 133 academy teams are elites."

"No matter how strong an individual is, can they sweep aside one team after another?"

Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and the others instinctively wanted to straighten their chests and say that Huo Yuhao was not fighting alone.

But the idea was quickly abandoned.

Finally, he only murmured in a low voice:
"Senior Ma Xiaotao, we will also do our best."

"Ugh……"

Ma Xiaotao and the other six shook their heads and sighed, then took their leave one after another.

Beibei and the others lost their interest in going out at night.

They returned to their rooms with trepidation.

Huo Yuhao was last.

Zhang Lexuan gracefully rose, walked to his side, and said with a slight smile:
"So, are you confident?"

Huo Yuhao said:

"Do your best."

Zhang Lexuan reached out her slender hand and patted his shoulder.

"Senior sister believes in you."

"Ah."

Return to the room.

After a quick wash, Huo Yuhao began to meditate cross-legged.

"Yuhao..."

Know the sea.

A lazy voice came from Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

"Will you still use the Martial Soul Fusion Technique with the daughter of the Tang God King in this life?"

Huo Yuhao didn't even open his eyes, and without thinking, he said:

"will not."

Using the Martial Soul Fusion Skill means that one has formed a bond with the Tang family.

This is his rebirth.

Things we are determined to eradicate.

"Very good!"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm pouted and said:
"Thinking about the names of your soul skills from your past life makes me so embarrassed I get numb all over."

"Sigh, you were in such a frenzy back then, I didn't dare to advise you."

"You really should listen to the sword techniques of the Immortal Brother."

"They're all incredibly handsome."

Huo Yuhao's soul power swirling around him paused slightly.

“Brother Tianmeng, don’t even mention it. Looking back now, I just think it was incredibly foolish.”

Thinking back to his supposedly deeply affectionate "Three Poems on Winter," he felt utterly ashamed.

Using these three moves, the opponent didn't burst out laughing, which truly shows their high level of sportsmanship.

"Now I only hope to end the competition as soon as possible, obtain the qualification to cultivate in the Golden Ancient Tree, and ascend to the God Star as soon as possible."

He has not been practicing for long.

There was a soft knock on the door.

Huo Yuhao released his mental energy wave and slowly opened his eyes.

"What's the matter?"

Listening to Huo Yuhao's calm tone.

Wang Dong tried to make his voice sound casual as well.

"Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi invited you over. The Soul Master Competition is the day after tomorrow, so we should discuss tactics."

squeak-

The door suddenly opened.

Huo Yuhao strode out and walked straight ahead.

Looking at that retreating figure, Wang Dong's handsome face became even more troubled, and he had no choice but to hurry up and follow.
