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

Chapter 171 Drawing Lots, Xiao Bing's Abnormal State

There are three days left until the start of the competition.

All 133 participating Soul Master academies have arrived in Xingluo City, the capital of the Xingluo Empire.

In the northeast corner of the central area of ​​Xingluo City, there stands a seven-story hotel.

This grand hotel, named Star Emperor, belongs to the royal family and has been specially set aside to accommodate participants from advanced Soul Master academies or Soul Master Academyes from various countries.

At this moment, the students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, who were assigned to the sixth floor, were clearly not very happy.

Although the relationship between the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire is not good.

But such blatant targeting is rather disgusting, isn't it?

Even the top eight contestants from the Douling Royal Academy were invited to the top floor, while the Sun Moon Royal Academy, the defending runner-up from the previous year, could only stay on the sixth floor.

I heard that the luxurious rooms on the top floor were built to the standards for hosting members of the Star Luo royal family.

Of course, as the saying goes, the strong never complain about their environment; only the weak do.

The members of the Sun & Moon Royal team, who came with the goal of winning the championship, would certainly not let this arrangement affect their performance in the game.

Since they are being so disregarded by the Star Luo Empire's officials, they must defeat the Star Luo Empire's strongest academy—the Star Luo Royal Academy—with overwhelming force during the competition.

This will be a slap in their face.

Because of this deliberate targeting, even on the sixth floor, the students of the Sun and Moon Royal Academy, apart from their supervising teachers, were all in pairs in their rooms.

Although there was one more boy than girl, fortunately, there were the brother and sister duo Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, which prevented the situation from becoming too awkward.

……

Among the participants from the Sun and Moon Royal Academy this time.

Xiao Bing and Rui Xue'er were both official members, and since they were both girls and seemed to have a "good" relationship, they were assigned to the same room.

Xiao Bing: Me and her, are we good friends?

Rachel: Which eye saw that we have a good relationship?
The relationship between the two (soul beasts) is roughly like this.

Today is the day for the teachers leading the teams from each college to draw lots.

Although His Majesty of the Star Luo Empire will personally attend the opening ceremony and conduct the draw on the day of the competition.

But with over a hundred academies, it's clearly impossible for the emperor of the Star Luo Empire to spend an entire morning drawing lots all by himself.

Therefore, the lottery is drawn three days in advance by the heads of each college.

Two "Easter egg" teams were left behind, giving His Majesty the Emperor a chance to participate.

……

During the lottery process.

The weaker academy hopes not to be drawn into a stronger one.

As for the stronger students, they pray that they won't be drawn into Shrek Academy.

As the reigning champion, Shrek Academy will always be the strictest father to the remaining 132 Soul Master Academies in the Soul Battle Tournament.

Even a powerful institution like the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy wouldn't want to face Shrek Academy in the first round.

After all, in the first round of the knockout stage, whoever loses goes home.

In previous years, the runner-up and the champion have met in the first round of elimination matches, not to mention the probability of them meeting.

If Shrek Academy is eliminated early, many tourists who support Shrek Academy will leave. If Sun Moon Royal Academy is eliminated early, it will lose almost all tourists from the Sun Moon Empire.

To ensure the excitement of the subsequent matches, the organizers will most likely prevent the two colleges from meeting in the first round; there's a 99% chance they'll have to draw lots.

……

Star Emperor Hotel, sixth floor.

Since Ye Tian was representing the Sun Moon Royal Academy in the lottery today, the rest of the academy members either stayed in their rooms eating the hotel's meals or went out into Star Luo City to see if there were any local delicacies. As for Xiao Bing and Rui Xue'er?
Naturally, I stayed in my room.

Aside from Ye Tian, ​​the two were only somewhat familiar with the Hongchen siblings.

The remaining team members wouldn't even know each other's names if they weren't participating in the competition together.

Not to mention the substitute players who don't have much interaction with each other.

"This steak, hmm... it's so tough."

Ruixue sat at the table, but after taking only one bite of the food delivered by the hotel, she couldn't eat a second bite.

Ruixueer: Sigh~ I feel like my palate has been spoiled by Bai Ran's uncle. If I can't eat the food cooked by my uncle or drink the coffee made by Haji Bai in the future, then what's the point of living?

Di Tian: Oh no! Our hope for the revival of the Soul Beast race! I knew it! Contact between auspicious beasts and humans would never end well. (Di Tian faints from crying in the Star Dou Great Forest)
"Where is this steak overcooked? Isn't it just right?"

Hearing Ruixue'er say that, Xiaobing also came to the dining table, cut a piece of steak, stuffed it into her mouth, and chewed it a few times.

Judging from the slightly uncontrollable expression on her face, she was probably deliberately contradicting Hagiwara.

"Oh dear, when is Uncle coming back?"

Ruixueer couldn't help but look out the window.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bing couldn't help but purse her lips, thinking to herself: "Is that your uncle? Why are you calling him that?"

For some reason, Xiao Bing's face suddenly turned red.

"Hot, so hot..."

It felt like my body was on fire.

"Water, give me water quickly..."

Seeing Xiao Bing's unusual behavior, Rui Xue'er quickly got up to pour her a glass of water.

Despite the arguments and quarrels, Xiao Bing is still a very important person to Bai Ran.

Now that she's in trouble, Ruixueer is quite worried.

Jealousy is one thing, but how can an older sister be jealous of her own younger sister?
Xiao Bing said: I was here first, so I must be the one who arrived first... Something seems a little off.

More than ten minutes passed, and even though Xiao Bing was completely soaked, she was still complaining about the heat.

Xiao Bing said: "I asked you to pour me some water, and you just splashed it all over me? I'd eat a human if you were one."

Rachel: But I'm not even human.

Faced with this bizarre situation, Rachel decided to seek help from someone.

Although Ye Tian was not there, fortunately there were still Jing Hongchen and others.

……

However, just as Rachel was about to open the door, a wave of heat suddenly emanated from behind her.

Immediately afterwards, a slightly reddish black spirit ring slowly emerged from her body.

At the same time, Xiao Bing's soul power jumped from level 50 to level 56.

Rachel: Not sisters, you opened one?
Even if you are a ferocious beast, it's too exaggerated to have your fifth spirit ring condense into an 80,000-year spirit ring, isn't it?
Even I, a mythical beast, can only simulate a 30,000-year-old spirit ring at most with my fifth spirit ring.

Of course, these are not the most exaggerated things. The most exaggerated thing is that as the 80,000-year soul ring was formed, a petite purple figure appeared in front of Xiao Bing.

The clerk card allows clerks to replicate all of the store manager's strengths, including soul power level, soul ring age, soul bones, and even soul spirit.

Unlike Bai Ran's spirit, the spirit created through the shop assistant card was merely a combat tool and lacked self-awareness.

Therefore, Hyotei can only summon a spirit to fight when he uses his fifth spirit skill. This spirit does not reside in Hyotei's spiritual sea, but rather in his spirit ring.

Besides, even a spirit has something to say. Little Ice's spiritual consciousness is so small, it's impossible for it to fit in.

As a brute whose muscles are connected to his brain and who throws punches instead of thinking, how strong can you expect her mental strength to be?
