In Douluo Continent, I am the mastermind behind the scenes.

Chapter 2 2. Poison will kill you

As for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, it was defeated by Long Xiaoyao in the quarterfinals, losing seven games in a row and leaving Star Luo City in disgrace.

The first round of the semi-finals team matches has concluded, with the Shrek team emerging victorious over the Fighting Spirit team.

Tomorrow's first match is a singles elimination tournament between the Shrek team and the Canglan team. If the Canglan team can defeat the opponent's seven players with three or fewer members, they can turn the tide and advance to the next round of the finals.

Will this prematurely end Shrek Academy's undefeated myth?

It's a bit unrealistic. In that state, it would be difficult for Ye Xishui to go all out in the match, let alone defeat Mu En and achieve the feat of defeating six or even seven opponents in a row.

Alright, let's spare Shrek Academy for now.

Because it was during the Soul Master Competition, there were staff members responsible for maintaining order at various intersections in Xingluo City, so Qin Yi didn't have to exert much effort to reach the entrance of the Starlight Hotel.

As soon as he entered, Qin Yi bumped into a young man with dark green hair.

Um? ? ? ? ?

Qin Yi frowned, quickly pulled the green-haired youth aside, and whispered, "Brother, isn't the young sect master of the Body Sect staying here? I've admired the Body Sect for a long time and would like to... cough cough, you know what I mean, could you help me with an introduction?"

As he spoke, Qin Yi secretly slipped a small bag of gold soul coins into the green-haired youth's hand.

The green-haired youth smiled and said, "This young master is true to his name and surname; he is none other than the young sect master of the Body Sect, Du Bisi. There are too many people here, so if you are sincerely willing to submit to my Body Sect, would you mind coming upstairs for a chat?"

Qin Yi nodded, and Du Bisi grabbed his wrist and led him up the stairs.

In the original territory of Douluo Continent, apart from the three great empires, the Sea God Pavilion, Shrek Academy, and the now-closed Haotian Sect, the most prestigious force was none other than the Body Sect.

Although the Body Sect is world-renowned for its research on Body Martial Souls, it does not mean that the Body Sect only recruits disciples with Body Martial Souls. Even the infamous evil soul master force, the Holy Spirit Cult, has a group of normal soul masters to manage the external businesses of the cult.

The scene shifts to a luxurious room on the top floor of the Starlight Hotel, where Qin Yi and Du Bisi sit facing each other at a table, drinking fragrant tea and eating snacks.

After a long silence, Qin Yi slowly spoke: "I believe Brother Poison has already noticed something. That's right, the power I possess does not belong to the cultivation system of this world. When I was young, my master took me to another world to cultivate. Now that I have achieved my goals and returned to Douluo Continent, I discovered that my former fiancée had been tricked into joining the Holy Spirit Cult as a so-called Holy Maiden. She was also coerced by the Holy Spirit Cult leader to use her body to sow discord between Mu En and Long Xiaoyao."

"My cultivation level is only level 96, which is not enough to help my fiancée escape the Holy Spirit Cult. So I thought I would ask the Body Sect to help my wife and me get through this difficult time. After it is done, I will offer a gift of thanks and join the Body Sect to become a Guardian Douluo."

"Well," Du Bisi frowned, seemingly lost in thought, and said, "Brother Qin, the Sea God Pavilion is at its zenith, why don't you seek their help instead of coming to our Body Sect?"

Qin Yi said calmly, "It's very simple. I don't trust the Sea God Pavilion. The factions within the Sea God Pavilion are intricate and complex. Although my fiancée hasn't fallen into the trap of becoming an evil soul master, it's a fact that she joined the Holy Spirit Cult. If one day she offends any second or third generation member of the Sea God Pavilion, and the elders behind them retaliate against us, labeling us as evil soul masters, then there will be no place for us in the original Douluo Continent territory."

"We just want to cultivate peacefully and don't want to cause any trouble. Joining the Body Sect means we only need to maintain a good relationship with you, Brother Poison, and we can rest easy."

"Brother Qin, welcome to the Body Sect." Poison Must Die suddenly stood up and slowly extended his right hand.

……

The next morning, Qin Yi, dressed in a black robe, followed Du Bisi to the rest area of ​​the Imperial Academy. With the young sect leader of the Body Sect acting as guarantor, the Star Luo officials did not make things too difficult for Qin Yi, and only made a symbolic registration.

The members of both Shrek Team and Canglan Academy Team have entered their respective waiting areas, and the battle is about to begin.

"Shrek Academy vs. Canglan Academy, the first match of the singles elimination tournament. Please welcome the first players from each team to enter the arena."

Without a doubt, the first player from Canglan Academy to take the field was their captain, Ye Xishui. For them, winning or losing this match was not important; what mattered was making Ye Xishui leave a deep impression on Mu En and Long Xiaoyao, so that they could proceed with their next plan.

As soon as she stepped onto the stage, Ye Xishui's gaze shifted towards the direction of the Douling team. Taking advantage of the opportunity to exchange glances with Long Xiaoyao, she used the corner of her eye to observe the rest area of ​​Di'ao Academy. When she saw a man in black robes playing with an ordinary-looking cane, a bright smile immediately appeared on her face.

Seeing that the opposing team's captain had already gone up on stage, and that Mu En, who was only seventeen years old and full of youthful vigor, could not stand it, he directly bypassed the team leader and stepped onto the Soul Fighting Stage.

The strong are always lonely. It is precisely because top-level titled Douluo have long lifespans that they find it difficult to find a partner to stay with for a long time. The Sea God Pavilion has nearly thirty titled Douluo, but the number of female titled Douluo is less than one-third.

For Mu En, Long Xiaoyao, and others, the allure of a top-tier female Soul Master was no less than that of a 100,000-year Soul Ring.

Originally, Mu En wanted to show off in front of Ye Xishui, but then he thought about it. He was now the captain of the Shrek Academy team, the closed-door disciple of the current master of the Sea God Pavilion, and the junior brother of the first in line to inherit the Sea God Pavilion (Xuanzi's teacher). Every word and action represented the Sea God Pavilion and Shrek Academy. It would be a bit inappropriate to openly flatter a female soul master he didn't know.

With no other option, Moon could only force himself to remain calm and retreat to the edge of the arena, awaiting the referee's instructions.

The fight scenes were rather dull. Ye Xishui didn't exert any effort throughout, only displaying extraordinary endurance, willingly serving as Mu En's background.

Ten minutes later, the referee, looking at Ye Xishui collapsed on the ground, announced loudly: "Single elimination round, first match, Shrek Academy wins!"

Upon hearing the referee's voice, Ye Xishui's eyes remained calm as water. She slowly stood up, supporting herself with her hands, and walked shakily toward the Di'ao Academy rest area.

Fang Che, the leader of Canglan Academy, thought that Ye Xishui was in a daze and had gone the wrong way in a moment of panic. Just as he was about to speak up to remind her, a pair of bright phoenix wings spread out from behind Ye Xishui and headed straight for the Di'ao Academy rest area.
