The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 54 The Continental Elite Soul Master Academy Tournament

“Alright, then I’ll take you to join in the fun,” Dugu Bo said.

Dugu Yan's team is Tian Dou Team 1, which is a seeded team and doesn't need to participate in the selection process. Dugu Bo originally didn't plan to go to watch the game, but since his benefactors are going, he is naturally willing to accompany them.

"Um, can I participate in the competition?" Xing asked expectantly.

Dugu Bo's lips twitched, and he looked at Xing strangely. How could you have the nerve to ask that?
"You're going to participate? Is it fun to bully kids?" March 7th glanced at Star with disdain.

“I’m a child too, I’m only two years old, why can’t I participate?” Xing said confidently.

"I'm afraid that won't work. This is a team competition; at least seven people are required to participate," Meng Huaifeng said.

“It’s simple, why don’t you guys participate too? Just find two more people,” Xing Ruizhi said.

Dan Heng remained silent.

"No way, have some shame. I don't want to bully kids with you." March 7th said disdainfully.

"I'm only eighteen years old, I think I should be able to participate without any problem." Meng Huaifeng stroked his chin and thought carefully.

March 7th grabbed Meng Huaifeng's arm and glared at him, saying, "Don't mess around with Ah Xing!"

"Okay, okay, I was just kidding. But Zhu Qing could really participate," Meng Huaifeng said hastily.

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes showed a hint of interest, but she quickly shook her head and said, "No, since I've already decided to stay away from those troubles, I shouldn't appear in such a sensitive place as the Soul Battle Arena anymore, lest my sister overthink and speculate."

"See? Zhu Qing is more sensible than you," March 7th admonished Xing.

"Alright then, but you have to compensate me with the champion's reward," Xing said, rolling his dead fish eyes.

"Why should I compensate you?" March 7th's eyes widened.

"Because you won't let me participate. If I did, the championship would be a piece of cake," Xing said matter-of-factly.

"It's hard to say. If you participate, we'll join another team together. How would you handle that, Xing?" Meng Huaifeng crossed his arms, posing a difficult question to Xing.

Xing was stunned, and on March 7th, she excitedly patted Meng Huaifeng.

"You can't treat me like this. Is our friendship so fragile?" Xing looked at Meng Huaifeng pitifully.

Meng Huaifeng turned his head slightly away from her and said triumphantly on March 7th, "Admit defeat, Ah Xing, the people outside are all my men."

"Damn it, next time it's an individual competition, let's see how you stop me!" Xing said through gritted teeth.

……

Soon, the day for the qualifiers to begin arrived.

The main arena of the Heavenly Battle Arena was already packed with tens of thousands of spectators, while the Pioneer Team sat with Dugu Bo near his VIP area.

One by one, the participating teams entered the arena. When Shrek Academy entered, it immediately caused a burst of laughter. Their shit-green team uniforms were simply hideous beyond belief.

Zhu Zhuqing gently patted her chest, feeling a surge of relief. Luckily, she had left, otherwise she would have been embarrassed along with them.

Seeing Dai Mubai, who always cared a lot about his image, wearing such ugly clothes with a long face, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but chuckle.

Meng Huaifeng flipped through the list of participating colleges that he had obtained from the waiter, comparing it with the original plot.

With the arrival of the train crew, the Tian Dou team lost Yu Tianheng and gained Ning Rongrong. Not long after Zhu Zhuqing left Shrek Academy, Ning Rongrong also left.

Despite not having enough members, Yu Xiaogang still wanted to participate in the competition, so he led the Shrek Academy team to annex Blue Tyrant Academy. Yu Tianheng, who had left the Heavenly Dou Team, was now in the Shrek Academy team. The personnel changes weren't significant; the main difference was in strength.

In the original novel, all seven members of the Shrek Seven Devils were above level 40 because of the immortal herb. However, now only Yu Tianheng and Dai Mubai have reached level 40, one at level 43 and the other at level 42. The others are all below level 40, and Tang San is only level 38.

However, the Tian Dou team is the leader, with Dugu Yan at level 53 and Ye Lingling seemingly having also consumed a magical herb, reaching level 48. With the two of them on the team, they can sweep through all the teams in the Tian Dou battle zone.

The first day was the opening ceremony, which was just a performance; the official competition was on the second day.

The next day, Emperor Xue Ye did not come; instead, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe came in his place.

The real Xue Qinghe is long dead; the current Xue Qinghe is actually Qian Renxue, the young master of the Spirit Hall, in disguise.

Meng Huaifeng simply couldn't understand why the young master of the Spirit Hall, who was destined to become a god, didn't focus on cultivating instead of playing some kind of undercover game. Her grandfather didn't even stop her; it was utterly incomprehensible how brain-dead he was.

Is it just so that she can become a god around the same time as Tang San? Is she afraid that if she becomes a god too early, Tang San won't have any fun left?
Qian Renxue's disguise was so convincing that even a Title Douluo couldn't see through it, but that didn't mean the Pioneer Team couldn't.

"Hey, look at that Crown Prince, she really is a woman," March 7th whispered.

"What a beautiful young lady, I can..." Xing stared intently at Qian Renxue's true face hidden beneath her disguise.

"Neither of you two are as good-looking." Meng Huaifeng genuinely felt this way.

On March 7th, he beamed with joy, but Xing showed no reaction whatsoever. He was acting like a pervert, only interested in pretty girls.

"Should we expose her?" Meng Huaifeng asked.

"It's not a good idea to get involved in the power struggles among local forces," March 7th said hesitantly.

“Just exposing her doesn’t count as interference. We didn’t fight for either side, so it can’t be considered interference. We’re just providing a tiny bit of insignificant help to the more righteous and preferred force. It’s nothing, is it?” Meng Huaifeng argued vehemently.

Meng Huaifeng hadn't forgotten what Uncle Yang had said at the beginning: it was alright to occasionally see something he couldn't stand, punish evil and promote good, and do good deeds.

"You think the nobles are more righteous?" March 7th could hardly believe it.

"How could that be? Of course I prefer the Spirit Hall, but of course, the Spirit Hall that isn't under that crazy woman's leadership," Meng Huaifeng said.

"Then why did you expose her? Isn't she from the Spirit Hall?" March 7th was completely confused.

“Exposing her is actually helping her. It saves us from wasting time infiltrating. We should hurry back and cultivate properly, become a god quickly, and take the Spirit Hall back from that crazy woman,” Meng Huaifeng said.

After thinking for a long time, March 7th nodded in agreement and said, "That makes sense. Exposing her would actually help her. However, she has worked so hard to infiltrate for so many years. If we expose her, she will probably hate us to death."

"Are you scared?" Meng Huaifeng chuckled.

"Not afraid."

"Shall we do it or not?"

On March 7th, he glanced at Danheng, who remained calm and collected. The mature Danheng didn't interrupt, which meant he tacitly agreed.

"Let's do it." March 7th nodded.

She also felt that the Spirit Hall, which stood on the side of the common people, was more righteous and was willing to offer a little bit of insignificant help.

"Let me do it!" Xing volunteered. When it comes to causing trouble, no one knows better than me!

　I'm still asking for monthly votes.
