In Douluo Continent, what is a martial soul? It's like Luckin Coffee.

Chapter 163 No, Hagiwara, what gives you the right?
There is less than a month left before the start of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament.

Like other advanced Soul Masters, Sun Moon Royal Academy has confirmed the team members who will represent the academy in the battle.

The official team members are mostly senior students who are nineteen years old.

After all, the rules for the Soul Fighting Tournament stipulate that participants must be under twenty years old.

Therefore, all colleges will select outstanding talents who have reached the age of nineteen.

Of course, the academy will not consider students who are only one or two months away from turning twenty.

There was once a Soul Fighting Tournament where a contestant was under twenty years old when he participated, but on the day of the finals, he turned twenty, and as a result, the organizers ruthlessly disqualified him from the competition.

This tournament is historically known as the most controversial one.

Therefore, in order to prevent such a blunder from happening again, the higher-ups of each academy will conduct more careful verification when selecting team members.

……

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, siblings, are only fourteen or fifteen years old, a year younger than the other contestants in this year's competition, but their strength is no less than that of their senior classmates who are also participating.

Not to mention that Xiao Hongchen is now a level 5 Soul Master. In terms of strength, only Ma Rulong, the team captain, can surpass him.

It's not surprising that they're on the list of participants.

But why did Bai Ran see Rui Xue'er's name on the list?
……

The holiday passed quickly; in the blink of an eye, it was time to go back to work (or school).

As for the Pagoda employee who was thrown into the slums yesterday, Bai Ran casually had Xiao Bing leave a projection stone there to simply record the other party's fate.

When Bai Ran accidentally turned on the recording stone late at night, he received the image transmitted back from the projection stone.

Just one glance at that scene made Bai Ran feel that it was far too graphic.

Then, without hesitation, I chose to turn it off.

But Ruixue'er still caught a glimpse of it.

Hagiwara even began to suspect that Bai Ran might be gay.
Bai Ran: Are you kidding me? Your ass is meant for pooping!

……

"No, Hagiwara, what gives you the right?"

After obtaining the list of participants for this year's Sun Moon Royal Academy from Meng Hongchen, I saw Ruixue'er's name prominently listed.

Bai Ran clearly couldn't hold back.

Ruixue'er is only a Level 1 Soul Master, and her Soul Power level is only Level 36 after some concealment.

If she were a substitute member, Bai Ran would have nothing to say, but why is she on the list of official members?
Even in the original novel, Huo Yuhao wouldn't have had a chance to participate in the Soul Fighting Tournament if the official students of Shrek Academy hadn't suffered heavy casualties.

"Oh dear, you little black-faced rascal, you're just slandering this auspicious beast."

Do you understand strength? This auspicious beast has plenty of power and methods.

Well, the reason she made it onto the list was entirely because during the afternoon's selection competition, she, Ruixue'er, didn't stop and punched a senior student who was participating in the competition three times, rendering him unable to move.

Therefore, Rachel successfully went from being a substitute to a full member.

It's not surprising for outstanding second-year students to become substitutes, but for them to become full members is simply terrifying. Judging by the standards of the Soul Fighting Tournament in recent years, participating students must at least possess the cultivation level of a Soul Master; otherwise, they are simply not presentable, and their academies might even be ridiculed for their low teaching standards.

For top-tier imperial academies like the Sun Moon Royal Academy, even if the participating students are not at the Soul King level, they must still possess Soul King-level combat power.

A second-year student who is twelve or thirteen years old, possesses Soul King-level combat power?

Five years from now, by the next Soul Fighting Tournament, I can't even imagine how strong she'll be. (She's practically a superhuman!)
The assessment is: This is the year when Sun Moon Royal Academy has the best chance of defeating Shrek Academy.

"Uh, okay."

But why is my Xiaobing on the list too?

Upon seeing the somewhat abrupt appearance of the name "Xiao Bing" on the list, Bai Ran couldn't help but burst into tears.

"I do not know."

Ruixue spread her hands, indicating that this matter had nothing to do with her.

"Sister Mengmeng?"

The list was obtained from Meng Hongchen, so Meng Hongchen should know more or less why Xiao Bing appeared on the list.

Meng Hongchen readily admitted, "I added it."

Others may not know, but how could Meng Hongchen not know?
She was also on that trip to the far north.

With the addition of Xiao Bing, the owner of the ultimate ice attribute martial soul, Meng Hongchen can say without exaggeration that the Sun Moon Royal Academy's chances of winning this competition will be over 50%.

According to the information that has been sent back, Shrek Academy has two Soul Emperors among its participants this year, so it's best to be conservative in our prediction.

"You took my Xiaobing away, what am I going to do about my business?"

Xiao Bing is the only employee of Mixue Ice Cream.

She's going to participate in the competition, so won't I have to spend several thousand gold soul coins to hire a temporary worker to look after the shop?

"Little brother, have you been too tired lately, causing your memory to decline?"

"Didn't you promise your sister you'd come with us to participate in this year's Soul Fighting Tournament?"

Since Bai Ran is going anyway, adding Xiao Bing to the list is perfectly fine.

"Oh~"

Perhaps he was truly exhausted, Bai Ran actually forgot that he also had to go to the Soul Fighting Tournament.

Even if you don't participate in the competition, you must attend this year's top-level auction held in Xingluo City.

The reason I went to the underground auction a few days ago was to accumulate funds in preparation for the Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone at the Star Luo City's top auction.
Temporary work can only last seven days, while participating in the Soul Fighting Tournament would take at least a month round trip.

It seems we'll have to close down for now.

To be precise, it's not exactly closing down; it's more like they've moved to a different location to sell coffee.
