Douluo Continent: Now that everyone's been reborn, who's still going to be a simp?

Li Kai laughed and said:

"How was it? Didn't you disappoint?"

"You did a great job, everyone. Thank you for your hard work."

"It wasn't hard at all. I didn't even have a chance to show my skills before they gave up."

Xie Yue chuckled.

"Let's save it for later."

Li Kai sighed:

"The next match is the third round, and you will all definitely be playing. There won't be any chance for me to perform."

"There will be, there will be a fourth and a fifth round."

The members of the Spirit Hall Academy team walked out of the competition venue chatting and laughing, returned to the rest area, and continued to watch the matches of other academies.

Today, Xie Yue and Hu Liena paid special attention to the Shrek Academy team and Tang San's performance.

Unfortunately, their opponent was not strong; it was an ordinary academy from the Heaven Dou Empire region.

Oscar and Ning Rongrong did not play in this match, and Tang San did not give it his all.

The best performer was Ma Hongjun, who, with his flying and fiery power, rendered his opponents helpless.

Of course, Xie Yue and Hu Liena didn't take Ma Hongjun seriously. He was only a three-ring Battle Soul Master, and compared to Yan, who was also a fire attribute, he was nothing to worry about.

The three academies, Thunder, Skywater, and Blazing Fire, faced relatively weak opponents, allowing them to secure victories and advance to the next round.

~~~~~~~

After a day of rest, the third round of the competition continued.

The final ten teams for this year's Soul Master Competition have been determined.

According to the competition rules, the second-ranked academy in each of the two empire regions will have a bye in the third round, so Thunder Academy and an academy from the Star Luo Empire will directly enter the fourth round of the competition.

There are eight teams participating today, and four will be eliminated after the competition.

Early in the morning, the participating teams arrived at their respective rest areas.

Entering the third round, there were fewer teams, and the rest area became much more spacious.

Huo Wu, arm in arm with Shui Bing'er, came to find Yan again.

Huo Wushuang and Feng Xiaotian followed behind them.

"Brother Yan."

Upon seeing Yan, the group greeted him.

Fire Dance joked:

"Brother Yan, your team is really amazing. When can you play? We really want to see you unleash your ultimate move. The further we go, the less chance we'll have to see you perform."

The fifth round of competition has only three teams left. The competition venue will be moved to the square in front of the Papal Palace. Teams that did not make it to the final three will not even have the opportunity to watch.

Of the three academies, Shenfeng, Tianshui, and Chihuo, at least one will not be able to make it into the top three.

If they meet early in the next draw, at least two teams will be eliminated.

Yan smiled and replied:

"I will be playing today. Whether I will actually make a move depends on my opponent."

"That's right. If we run into you, we'll just forfeit, and you won't have a chance to shine."

"I hope we don't meet too soon. I hope you can both overcome strong opponents and go further."

The group chatted for a while longer before returning to their respective teams' rest areas.

The lottery results came out quickly.

The Spirit Hall Academy drew another seeded team, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Shrek Academy also drew a seeded team, Star Luo Royal Academy.

Kamikaze, Tensui, and Blazing Fire Academy did not draw each other as opponents, which means they all have a chance to advance to the fourth round.

The first two matches of the third round ended quickly.

Tianshui and Blazing Fire Academy defeated their opponents and successfully advanced to the next round of the competition.

The next match will be between Shrek Academy and Star Luo Royal Academy.

After the host made the announcement, the players from both sides slowly walked into the competition area.

The match between Blazing Fire and Skywater Academy had ended, but they did not leave; instead, they stayed to watch.

The seven members of the Shrek Academy team attracted everyone's attention as soon as they appeared.

Huo Wu frowned, staring at those people, and asked in confusion:

"Today, two players who have never played before appeared on the Shrek team."

Shui Bing'er noticed it too.

"Yes. This is the first time those two have played since the qualifiers. I wonder what's so special about them; they've definitely been deliberately hiding their strength."

(End of this chapter)

74. Is Chapter 74 about murder?

74.

Yan and his teammates also noticed that two unfamiliar faces had appeared in the Shrek team.

Yan knew that it was Oscar and Ning Rongrong, but he didn't know their current strength.

Without that top-grade immortal herb, the Qiluo Tulip, Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda could not have evolved into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Xie Yue whispered:

"Two unfamiliar faces have appeared in the Shrek team. They've finally stopped hiding their strength. I'd like to see just how strong this team really is when they go all out."

Hu Liena frowned.

As he looked at the seven members of the Shrek Academy team, he also noticed the members of the Star Luo Royal Academy team.

"Brothers, look closely. Some people in these two teams look quite alike."

Xie Yue looked closely and then realized.

"Indeed, the two blond guys look like brothers, and the other two girls look like sisters."

"Hmm. Perhaps they really are brothers and sisters. Judging from their appearance, the two from Star Luo Royal Academy are older."

Yan knew they were talking about Dai Mubai and Davis, as well as Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun.

He didn't interrupt, but simply stared quietly at the center of the field.

At this moment, both teams had already arrived on the arena.

Led by Dai Mubai, the Shrek Seven Devils stood quietly on the arena, lined up in a row.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing stared at each other with solemn expressions.

The family's cruel succession system led them to flee the Star Luo Empire and come to the Heaven Dou Empire.

They were eager to prove themselves in this competition in order to reclaim their family inheritance.

The loser of this match will be eliminated, while the winner will advance to the top six.

The rest of the Shrek Seven Devils knew about Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's past. They would do their best in this competition to defeat their opponents, not only for the team's honor but also for Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's future.

Of course, the Star Luo Royal Academy team will also go all out to go further in the finals and to solidify the positions of Davis and Zhu Zhuyun.

After a round of verbal sparring between the two sides, the host announced the official start of the competition.

The fourteen Soul Masters from both teams released their respective Martial Souls and Soul Rings.

To the surprise of the spectators, each team had a White Tiger and a Netherworld Cat martial spirit.

They are Dai Mubai and Davis, who possess the White Tiger Martial Soul, and Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun, who possess the Netherworld Cat Martial Soul.

The number of spirit rings can indicate the overall strength of the two teams.

On the Star Luo Royal Academy team's side, there are six Soul Masters of level 40 or above and one Soul Venerable.

Davis and Zhu Zhuyun stood at the very front of the team, and their soul power fluctuations were the most significant.

Davis's soul power reached level 47, and Zhu Zhuyun's reached level 46.

On the Shrek Academy team's side, only Dai Mubai, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Oscar had soul power levels above 40, while Ning Rongrong, Ma Hongjun, and Zhu Zhuqing were all three-ring Soul Masters.

Just as Yan had expected, they had only absorbed ordinary immortal herbs, and their soul power had not increased much; otherwise, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

Hu Liena suddenly sighed softly:

"The overall strength of the Star Luo Royal Academy team seems to be a bit stronger than that of the Shrek Academy team. It's uncertain whether the Shrek team can get through this round. They might be eliminated in this match."

Xie Yue responded:

"Yes. I heard that to get into the Star Luo Royal Academy team, you have to rely entirely on your own strength. If Shrek Academy can't be our opponent, then we won't have a chance to deal with Tang San."
