Douluo Continent: Peerless Fusion Evolution

Chapter 67 I've arrived! But you don't recognize me!

"Shrek! Victory! Victory!" Everyone's emotions were stirred up, especially Huo Yuhao, who was trembling with excitement.

As a human from Earth, he still had to know how to make grand promises. From the moment he broke through to the Soul King realm, something called ambition ignited in his heart. He wanted to be king!

Not the king of a nation! He is the king of everyone—humans, spirit beasts, and even gods!

In his view, Shrek Academy was his, Douluo Continent was his, the Sun Moon Empire was his, and even the entire Douluo Star and the God Realm were his.

Wang Yan looked at Li Sansi in the center, a hint of fanaticism flashing in his eyes. Some people are just born to be in high positions; it's innate.

After everyone calmed down a bit, Wang Yan took Ma Xiaotao and the other two to heal their wounds.

Li Sansi then took Wang Dong'er back to her room, preparing to express his longing for her.

Meanwhile, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was also holding a meeting; they were on the same floor as Shrek Academy.

Inside the meeting room, two elderly men sat at the head of the table, while the official team members and reserve team members sat on either side.

The old man sitting on the left said, "According to our observation, Shrek Academy only sent ten people: three regular members and seven reserve members. Do you know what that means?"

They didn't notice Li Sansi's arrival because Li Sansi had joined halfway through the process. Wang Yan had just gone to register Li Sansi, so they hadn't received any news about him yet.

The old man sitting on the right stood up and said, "Disdain, this is disdain for us, this is looking down on us, thinking that they can defeat us with such a lineup."

"Ma Rulong!"

"Here!" A burly male student stood up.

"If we lose to a team like this, you, the captain, can get out of Mingdetang."

"Yes!" Ma Rulong said in a deep voice, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Mr. Ma, I don't think things are that simple. Do you think there's a possibility, if—I mean, if—we imagine, is it possible that something unexpected happened to Shrek Academy?"

"For example, before coming here, we fought with other forces, which resulted in casualties. I heard that Shrek Academy is always keen on eradicating evil soul masters, calling itself a righteous army, and interfering in the internal affairs of other countries."

"Perhaps some forces couldn't stand by and watch, so they decided to take action and teach Shrek a lesson, forcing Shrek to come here with this remnant army to fight," said a boy who was not yet fifteen years old.

Old Ma rested his chin on his hand, deep in thought, then nodded: "What you said makes sense, and it's very likely. But Xiao Hongchen, your opponents are those students under fifteen. There won't be any incomplete Shrek students in the next class."

The handsome young man was none other than Xiao Hongchen, who had previously attended the auction in Shrek City. Now, a year later, he had become even more handsome.

He raised his head, smiled slightly, and said, "My only opponent is myself."

And that person, he should be here too, but why haven't I seen him? Xiao Hongchen narrowed his eyes as a figure flashed through his mind.

"I wonder if you are still stronger than me now?" After consuming the Grade Nine Purple Ganoderma, Xiao Hongchen not only completely eliminated the spiritual power imbalance caused by taking drugs, but also significantly improved his cultivation speed.

With the added boost to his soul power from absorbing a 100,000-year-old soul bone, his soul power had now reached level 57, not far from becoming a Soul Emperor.

Ma Rulong's face darkened. "Xiao Hongchen, you better behave yourself."

Xiao Hongchen smiled slightly: "Brother Ma, you should take better care of yourself. If you lose, you'll have to leave Mingde Hall."

From what I've observed, although Shrek Academy is a depleted force, their reserve members are quite strong; most are Soul Masters, oh! and there's even a Soul Venerable!

Although it seemed like words of concern, there was a hint of sarcasm in them.

"You!" Ma Rulong was furious.

But Old Ma glared at him and shouted, "Sit down. Now let's arrange the personnel for the performance."

As Jing Hongchen's grandson, Old Ma and another old man were both filled with apprehension towards Xiao Hongchen.

A year ago, the head of Mingde Hall bought top-grade medicinal herbs and a 100,000-year-old soul bone from the Zhatian Chamber of Commerce for his grandson, which caused a huge sensation at the time.

As a genius, Xiao Hongchen did not disappoint Jing Hongchen. Not only did he reach the Soul King level, but the aftereffects were also eliminated, and his strength increased significantly.

Even if Shrek were the same age as him, he might not be able to compare to his grandson, Xiao Hongchen.

Therefore, Jing Hongchen was given more important positions in the Sun Moon Empire, and his status was greatly elevated.

At this moment, Xiao Hongchen exuded an aura of invincibility and unparalleled strength, and the arrogance deep in his eyes was even more pronounced.

Early morning, Xingluo Square.

The competition was held at Xingluo Square. Early in the morning, all the teachers leading the teams from the various colleges arrived at the Imperial City to participate in the draw ceremony.

By the time the trainees entered, the lottery results had already been arranged.

On the city wall, Emperor Xu Jiawei of Xingluo stood with his hands behind his back in the most open spot, with his empress beside him and civil and military officials following behind.

Xu Jiawei smiled and said to his empress, "Students from various academies have already entered the arena. The first match is the Shrek Academy competition. I myself wanted to study there back then, but unfortunately, as a member of the royal family, I had no choice."

"Your Majesty is also a martial man!" the Empress said with a smile.

"I heard that Dai Hao's eldest son is also here. I'm quite looking forward to his performance this time," Xu Jiawei said with a smile.

The crowd had already entered the venue. Judging from the densely packed crowd, the Star Luo Empire, which hosted the Soul Master Competition, had made a fortune. No wonder everyone wanted to host such a competition.

At this moment, Li Sansi led his team to the contestants' area to prepare for their performance.

He still wore that same dark green outfit that never changed, but it had no effect on Li Sansi. His handsome face was not affected by a piece of clothing.

The other trainees were somewhat surprised to see Shrek Academy's current lineup. Only eleven members of Shrek Academy had come, most of whom were quite young and clearly reserve members.

Instead of wearing a cloak as in the original story, she openly revealed her face.

Aside from the official members of the inner court, Li Sansi was the most mature. He was more like an official member than the official members because he stood at the front, a position usually reserved for the captain.

The rest of the trainees were clearly the reserve team for the next cohort.

Half an hour passed, and the audience was fully engaged.

"Silence!" a loud shout rang out. The noisy square immediately fell silent.

"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!"

The crowd below knelt down one after another, and the other academy students also bowed in respect. However, Li Sansi stood still, for there was no one else in the world who could make him bow.

Xu Jiawei waved his hand to signal people to rise, then said, "I hereby announce that the Continental Advanced Soul Master Student Soul Battle Tournament has officially begun."
