Reincarnated Rock Prince, you're saying this is Douluo Continent?

Chapter 115: Barbatos, long time no see!

Seeing Shrek Academy in such a state of decline left Xiao Hongchen speechless.

Sun Moon Royal Academy has always regarded Shrek Academy as its hypothetical enemy.

Even if Shrek Academy had been destroyed once, it shouldn't be in this state, right?
Even if we defeat Shrek Academy, who would be happy?
"There are still a few days until the competition, they must have been delayed by something."

Beibei shrugged and said nonchalantly.

What happened to Shrek Academy was no longer his concern.

"hope so."

Xiao Hongchen nodded and said.

Suddenly, Xiao Hongchen seemed to remember something, nudged Bei Bei's shoulder with his own, and said, "Brother Bei Bei, if we meet on the stage, you'll have to go easy on us!"

"At least go through twenty or thirty rounds with us, and give us some face."

Even without Shrek Academy, they would still be helpless against Liyue Academy!
Golden tortoiseshell, Bear Lord...

How to fight this?
They do have soul tools, and their overall soul power level is above that of Liyue Academy, but they are a bunch of monsters!
It's impossible for them to win unless they're extremely lucky and draw rules that favor them.

But the probability of that is extremely small!
"Brother Xiao, why belittle yourselves like this? Your talent and strength are not weak."

"In addition, your use of soul tools is something we can only look up to."

"It's not that we lack confidence, but let's put ourselves in each other's shoes. If you were facing a golden hawksbill turtle and a bear, would you be confident of winning?"

Xiao Hongchen said softly, his face full of resentment and envy.

What a wonderful spirit! It's a pity he wasn't level 50 back then, and he still isn't level 50 now, so he can't fuse with spirits.

After hearing this, Beibei and Tang Ya thought about it for a moment and found that it was indeed true.

Even if the Golden Tortoiseshell and Xiong Jun cannot unleash one-tenth of their original strength, they are not someone that a group of Soul Emperors, Soul Kings, or even Soul Sects can easily mess with.

If Xiong Jun went all out, he could probably take down a kid with a single swipe of his paw...

That's the ancestor of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear! Any defensive soul tool is as fragile as paper in front of the Bear Lord.

"If we meet, we will definitely have a good sparring match."

Beibei didn't say she was going easy on them, she just said it was a friendly spar, which was a great show of respect to Xiao Hongchen and the others.

Xiao Hongchen's teammates nodded in agreement. As expected of someone from Liyue, their demeanor and style were far superior to those arrogant and conceited Shrek Academy students.

"Good brothers, forever!"

Xiao Hongchen patted Bei Bei on the shoulder and said, "Everyone, there are still a few days before the competition starts. Today, I, Xiao Hongchen, will treat you all to drinks. Let's drink until we're drunk!"

This is a great opportunity to connect and build relationships, so they certainly can't miss it.

The people from Liyue are easy to get along with and don't care where they come from, which is like a dream come true for the contestants from Sun and Moon.

However, after hearing Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen talk about Liyue, they still had some distrust.

But now that they have seen it with their own eyes, they have no choice but to believe it.

"Alright, then thank you very much, Brother Xiao!"

Led by Xiao Hongchen, all members of the Sun Moon Team and the Liyue Team, whether they were official members or substitutes, headed out of the hotel.

There was indeed food in the hotel, but after eating there for so many days, everyone was tired of it and decided to find a different place to eat.

Inside the room, Zhongli watched the departing figures of the young men and women, a smile playing on his lips.

If all people in the world were like this, without war, without discrimination, and living together in peace, how wonderful that would be.

Suddenly, Zhongli seemed to remember something, and with a flash, his appearance also changed "slightly".

Traveling across the mainland in Zhongli's appearance is somewhat inconvenient, so changing one's disguise is both necessary and easy.

If Xiao Xiao were here, she would definitely recognize Zhong Li at this moment... Isn't this Barbatos?
Zhong Li flashed and reappeared in a deserted alley. His exit from this alley wouldn't seem particularly abrupt. Meanwhile, on the main street of Xingluo City, a green-haired girl and a blue-pink-haired girl were walking hand-in-hand, chatting and laughing.

The appearance of the two women was quite a sight on the street.

It was none other than Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er.

They were not familiar with each other when they were at Shrek Academy, and had never even met.

Until the two came to Liyue and became neighbors...

"Dong'er, who are those two uncles?"

Xiao Xiao turned her head to look at Wang Dong'er and asked in confusion.

They came to Xingluo City, naturally to watch the competition.

But as soon as they arrived in Xingluo City, two men who looked like they were not to be trifled with took Wang Dong'er away.

The two met again an hour later.

Hearing this, Wang Dong'er came to her senses and said, "They are my eldest father and second father."

“I don’t know who my biological parents are. My eldest uncle and second uncle raised me. In my heart, they are my fathers.”

"I see."

Xiao Xiao suddenly realized that the two burly men were actually Wang Dong'er's family members.

"What did they tell you? Why... have you seemed a bit distracted since you came back?"

Could something have happened to Wang Dong'er's family?

If it's a small matter, the Xiao family can also help.

If it's a major issue, even if we wanted to help, we couldn't, as the Xiao family is just a small clan.

"No...nothing."

It was nothing, really; it was just that her grandfather, whom she had never met, had passed away.

In Wang Dong'er's mind, the word "grandfather" didn't really mean anything. He passed away, and she didn't feel anything, just a little empty inside.

Why were they unwilling to see her when she was alive, but only informed of her death?
Did you think I would feel guilty?

Wang Dong'er shook her head, putting these thoughts out of her mind.

Suddenly, Wang Dong'er sensed something was wrong. Her best friend Xiao Xiao had let go of her hand and was no longer holding her arm.

Aren't we best friends? Walking hand in hand is a perfectly normal thing. What does Xiao Xiao mean by this?
Although she was puzzled, Wang Dong'er did not show it. Instead, she followed Xiao Xiao's gaze and looked ahead.

"Hi~"

"It turns out to be him!"

This young man only resembled the God of War by a third, yet he captivated countless young women!
His looks are secondary; this young man is also very talented.

Wang Dong'er glanced sideways at Xiao Xiao.

These two are just friends; they were fine a moment ago, but the moment they saw the "handsome guy," they abandoned her!

"Humph~"

"Barbatos, it's been a long time!"

Xiao Xiao forgot about Wang Dong'er standing to the side, and quickly walked to Zhong Li, her face flushed and her ears slightly red.

Zhongli: "..."

He really just randomly chose a small alley; he really just decided to change it into this shape on a whim.
