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

Chapter 265 A Conversation Between Siblings on the Substitutes' Bench

The round-robin tournament will proceed as scheduled over the next few days.

At first glance, it seems as if nothing happened.

Bai Ran, as a time traveler, was well aware of this.

The day of that top-tier auction is drawing ever closer.

The meeting will be held after this round of the tournament concludes.

Bai Ran had been preparing for a long time for that 70,000-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone.

We must never give up.

What's more, Huo Yuhao has already given me the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife that eliminates side effects.

How could he possibly give me the left arm bone of the Ice Jade Scorpion?

I'm not that beauty, Wang Dong.

……

Xingluo Square, the scene of the Soul Fighting Tournament.

Today is the final round of the round-robin tournament.

With Ling Luochen's addition, Shrek Academy secured their place in the next round as expected, finishing first in their group.

Of course, Shrek Academy wasn't in a hurry to go back and celebrate after successfully qualifying.

The next match is between the Sun Moon Royal Academy and the Star Luo National Academy.

Since the last match between Imperial Academy and Sun Moon Royal Academy, substitutes have been used on the field.

In order to preserve the condition of their main students, all the top academies followed suit with this tactic.

Within the Death Group, which comprises four top-tier academies.

Both Sun Moon Royal Academy and Star Luo National Academy are on a six-game winning streak.

Whoever wins the next match will advance as the top seed in their group.

According to the rules of this competition, the college that wins the group will face the college that finishes second in another group in the next match.

To make the upcoming matches easier, both academies chose to field their full strength teams.

It also contains, to some extent, the grudges between the two empires.

……

"Team battle, it's actually a 7 vs 7 team battle."

After the referee announced the outcome of the match, the entire stadium erupted in uproar.

Compared to the individual heroism of one-on-one elimination matches, or the small group mentality of two-on-two-three battles.

A 7-on-7 team match is a better way to demonstrate the overall strength of a college team.

Especially in this grudge match, both academies plan to send their main players.

It's no exaggeration to say that this was a preview of the finals.

However, given that Xingluo National Academy was almost defeated by Mingdu Royal Academy before,

Some viewers felt that Xingluo National Academy had a very low chance of winning.

But this is the center of the Star Luo Empire, and the people of the Star Luo Empire obviously support their own academy more.

So when the contestants from both academies entered the venue, the sound of chants "Star Luo National Academy" echoed almost unanimously.

"Little sister, isn't Uncle Ye giving Star Luo National Academy too much credit?"

Sitting on the bench, Xiao Hongchen listened to the cheers of "Xingluo National Academy" echoing throughout the stadium and couldn't help but shrug.

"It's always better to be careful."

Meng Hongchen helplessly shrugged, then took out a cup of Luckin Coffee from his storage soul tool.

"Would you like a drink, brother?"

"sure."

"You're not polite at all."

Seeing her brother so skillfully take a cup of Luckin Coffee iced Americano from her hand, Meng Hongchen was speechless for a moment.

"Speaking of which, how much Luckin Coffee did you ask Bai Ran for?"

A few days ago, when I saw Bai Ran come out of her sister's room, she looked pale.

If Xiao Hongchen hadn't been eavesdropping outside the room the whole time, he would have really misunderstood that his sister had done something wrong.

"Not many, less than a hundred cups at a time."

As Bai Ran's soul power level increased, the number of Luckin Coffees he could make and the shelf life of those coffees also improved. "6."

As the older brother, I didn't know what to say for a moment.

Just then, Ruixueer, who was also sitting on the bench, looked at Meng Hongchen drinking Luckin Coffee and couldn't help but ask, "Sister Meng, can I have one?"

"What flavor would you like, little sister?"

Do you have coconut lattes?

"Yes, some sisters, some."

Hearing the conversation between the two women, Xiao Hongchen, who was standing to the side, was a little displeased: "Sister, why didn't you ask me what flavor I wanted?"

"You drink whatever I give you, understand?"

"Ok."

Xiao Hongchen wisely shut his mouth; if he asked again, he wouldn't get any more drinks.

……

Apart from Xiao Bing, the rest of the members of the Hongchen family, including the Hongchen siblings, are on the reserve list.

There's no way around it, the strength of this year's Sun Moon Royal Academy is just too strong, so strong that even Soul King level players can only sit on the bench.

However, doesn't this mean that the future of the Sun and Moon Royal Academy is promising?

With a number of Soul King candidates, even if they don't win the championship this year, they definitely have a great chance next year.

Of course, in the original work, the Sun Moon Royal Academy, which seemed to have been strengthened, failed to even make it into the top 16 in the next competition, while the Mingdu Royal Academy made it into the top 8.

"Xue'er, speaking of which, you and Bai Ran are such good friends, didn't he give you coffee?"

After handing a Luckin Coffee coconut latte to Ruixueer, Meng Hongchen suddenly asked a question.

After all, within the Hongchen family, besides Xiaobing, Ruixueer and Bairan had the best relationship.

"Yes, I have."

"That?"

"I drank it all."

Ruixue'er scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly.

Let alone a hundred cups, even a thousand cups, as long as Bai Ran gives them, Rui Xue'er will drink them all, and there's no way she can save them all.

As for achieving the same effect as Luckin Coffee?
Ruixueer: As long as it tastes good, that's all that matters. I don't care about this or that. All I know is that feeling good is innocent.

Anyway, I just can't save it; if I do save it, it'll all end up inside my stomach.

"Haha~"

Meng Hongchen smiled, unsure of what to say at that moment.

……

"Little sister, what do you think of this match?"

Just as the match was about to begin, Xiao Hongchen suddenly asked.

"Of course I'll just sit and watch. Although I really dislike Ma Rulong, he's at least somewhat capable. Besides..."

As Meng Hongchen spoke, her gaze fell on the half of the court where the Sun and Moon Royal Academy team was located.

In this match...

The Royal Academy of Sun and Moon employed a very strange "six protect one" tactic.

As the team's strongest member on the surface, Ma Rulong stood at the very back of the group.

Xiao Bing, who had performed exceptionally well in the previous matches, did not stand at the forefront as the engine of team battles. Instead, he stood next to Ma Rulong, taking on the role of protector.

"This tactical arrangement shouldn't have been made by Uncle Ye, right?"

As a top student at the Sun Moon Royal Academy, Xiao Hongchen had some guesses about what Ma Rulong was planning to do next.

"Uncle Ye wouldn't arrange it like that; it's probably Old Ma's arrangement."

Meng Hongchen: Do you want to make your juniors stand out and at the same time show the world the violent aesthetics of soul tools? You've really played a clever game.

What are those two talking about?

On the side, Ruixueer, who was only a first-level Soul Master, had no idea what was about to happen on the field.

But if I don't know anything, won't I seem too stupid?
Let's just keep drinking coffee.

Well, you know what, this Luckin Coffee is really something else.
