Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

Chapter 139 The Continental Elite Advanced Soul Master Tournament Begins

Shrek Academy, inside the Dean's office.

"Sigh, Fatty and Xiao Gang went to the Spirit Hall. Now, among the little monsters, only Dai Mubai and Oscar are left. With just the two of them, I'm afraid they'll have a hard time even getting through the preliminaries."

Flanders said with a worried look on his face.

With the competition just around the corner, Shrek Academy has inherited Blue Tyrant Academy's qualification to participate, so it naturally needs to form a team of more than seven people.

Although gathering seven people is not difficult, there are no particularly outstanding geniuses among the original students of Blue Tyrant Academy, and the team formed on short notice lacks teamwork.

Even without considering these factors, having only one Soul Master like Dai Mubai is clearly not enough, and it would be difficult for him to stand out from the preliminaries.

Besides, although Oscar has cultivated to level 35, his third soul skill can only be used under specific circumstances, otherwise it will only harm himself and others.

Seeing Flander's exhausted appearance, Zhao Wuji, who was standing to the side, spoke up.

"Boss, I think there are still a few students with good strength in the academy. With Mu Bai and Xiao Ao added in, they may be able to compete with other advanced soul master academies."

Upon hearing Zhao Wuji's words, Flander perked up slightly.

In any case, this is the Continental Elite Advanced Soul Master Tournament, held once every five years, and Shrek Academy absolutely cannot miss it.

Back then, he had to leave his hometown for the sake of the little monsters' future. Now, although he has brought Shrek Academy to great heights, only two little monsters remain. Truly, life is unpredictable.

On second thought, it turned out that Yu Xiaogang had encouraged him to come to Tiandou City, but this guy had taken his disciples to the Spirit Hall to enjoy himself instead.

"Dean, in my opinion, our Shrek Academy should focus on participation in this Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament and not worry too much about winning or losing."

After a pause, Qin Ming turned to look at Dai Mubai and Oscar, and continued:
"After all, Mu Bai and Xiao Ao are still young and can definitely participate in the next competition. At that time, our Shrek Academy will definitely be able to enter the finals."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji's eyes lit up, and he immediately echoed:
"Boss, Qin Ming is right. In five years, Mu Bai will definitely be able to cultivate to the level of Soul King or above. At that time, almost no one will be his match."

Upon hearing this, a spark ignited in Flander's eyes, but it quickly died down.

He looked up at Dai Mubai, a hint of pity and sympathy in his eyes.

He had heard about the Star Luo royal family's cruel competition methods. As the third prince, Dai Mubai would most likely have failed in the competition in five years, so how could he possibly participate in the next Soul Master Competition?

At this moment, Dai Mubai's face was so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water, and his clenched fists revealed the turmoil in his heart.

Although he had already cultivated to the Soul Master level, he was far behind his elder brother Davis, and the age gap caused him to avoid the competition for the throne.

If he had become a disciple of that Super Douluo more than half a year ago, he would still have had a chance to compete with his elder brother.

However, since that Super Douluo left, he has never returned to Shrek Academy, and even left behind a body full of injuries before leaving.

After a while, Dai Mubai stepped forward, his eyes flashing with a do-or-die determination, and said in a heavy tone, "Even if it costs me everything, I will lead the team into the finals!"

This Soul Master Tournament is his only chance. If he can lead his team into the finals, he will still have the right to compete with Davis.

Realizing his impending death, Dai Mubai began to regret neglecting his cultivation.

If he had devoted himself entirely to cultivation, he would now possess at least level 45 soul power, and might even be able to put up a fight against Davis.

Two days later, the qualifiers began as scheduled.

The preliminary rounds were divided into multiple regions. Lin Mu participated in the opening ceremony of the Tian Dou City region, and the competition was held at the Tian Dou Great Soul Arena.

That morning, Lin Mu arrived alone at the Heaven Dou Arena. Since it was still early, the opening ceremony hadn't started yet. Suddenly, a gentle voice came from not far away.

"Brother Lin, the Emperor is waiting for you in the VIP section. Come with me quickly."

The person who came was Xue Qinghe. He walked towards Lin Mu, grabbed her hand, and dragged her inside without saying a word.

"Your Highness, men should not touch each other. It would be best if we kept some distance."

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Mu broke free from Xue Qinghe's small hand.

Although he knew that Xue Qinghe was Qian Renxue in disguise and had worked with her many times, it didn't mean he was willing to get too close to Xue Qinghe.

At this moment, Xue Qinghe realized that she was still in a disguise and it was indeed not appropriate for her to get too close to Lin Mu.

Even so, a hint of displeasure still flashed in her eyes.

This guy is so cold to her. They reached their peak together last night, but the next day he's targeting her "sworn brother".

Therefore, she secretly made up her mind that she would make Lin Mu pay the price next time.

"Hurry and lead the way!"

Urged on by Lin Mu, Xue Qinghe finally came to her senses, glared at Lin Mu reproachfully, and turned to walk inside.

Lin Mu simply shrugged and followed closely behind.

Led by Xue Qinghe, the two quickly arrived at the largest Soul Arena, which had enough seats to accommodate 80,000 spectators.

After passing through a dedicated passage, the two finally arrived at the VIP seats.

At a glance, Lin Mu immediately spotted several familiar faces: Ning Fengzhi, Prince Xuexing, and the three education committee members.

The next moment, Lin Mu's gaze shifted to the old man in the center of the first row.

He wore a long, golden-red robe and a golden-diamond crown. His face was as round as the moon, and he looked slightly older than Prince Xuexing. There was also a resemblance between them in their eyebrows.

However, in terms of temperament, Prince Snowstar is far inferior to this person.

Without a doubt, this old man is Emperor Xueye!
"Father, this is Lin Mu, the leader of the Royal Fighting Team, and also my close friend."

Xue Qinghe stepped forward and bowed to Emperor Xue Ye, his tone filled with pride, as if he had already brought Lin Mu under his command.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xueye immediately stood up from his seat and solemnly said, "Lord Lin Mu, as the most outstanding young powerhouse in the entire continent, your willingness to participate in this opening ceremony will surely inspire the players of various teams."

"Your Majesty, thank you very much."

Faced with Emperor Xueye's praise, Lin Mu remained unmoved and calmly replied.

Seeing Lin Mu's reaction, a hint of helplessness flashed in Emperor Xue Ye's eyes. He shifted his gaze to Xue Qinghe beside him and gave the order:
"Qinghe, during this competition, your main responsibility is to accompany Lord Lin Mu and try your best to meet all his requests."

"Yes, Father!"

Xue Qinghe quickly bowed and agreed, a sly glint in her eyes. As long as Emperor Xueye believed that only she could win over Lin Mu, he would surely pass the throne to her.

At that time, she will be able to take over the Heavenly Dou Empire without losing a single soldier.
