Douluo Continent: Shrek Prince, Getting to the Root of the Matter

Chapter 83 Departure! Breakthrough!

The morning sun shines on Shrek City, and a group of teenagers are standing at the east gate of Shrek Academy, ready to set off.

Since the second team will not participate under the name of Shrek Team, the two teams will not travel together.

Huo Yuhao took out several flying soul tools from his storage soul tool and distributed them. Everyone received them one by one, except for Wang Dong, who waved his hand in resistance and approached Yu Wudao to indicate that someone would take care of them.

Zhang Lexuan glanced at her, not dwelling on why Wang Dong was so resistant to the soul tool, but instead pulled her in front of her and said, "Let me take you! Although Wudao is an ultimate martial soul with abundant soul power reserves, this journey is not short."

Wang Dong instinctively wanted to refuse, but when she looked up at Zhang Lexuan, she suddenly shivered for no reason.

"Okay, okay!"

"Tch~"

Long Jingni chuckled and then slung the flying soul tool behind his back.

She had only seen this kind of soul tool in Yu Wudao's memories, and she still felt a sense of novelty and anticipation.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Zhang Lexuan gave an order, and the eleven figures flew straight into the sky!

High above, Moon looked down at the crowd with a look of satisfaction.

"These kids are the future hope of Shrek Academy! I must keep a close eye on them!"

Since none of them had any missions with the Shrek Academy Inspection Team, Zhang Lexuan, who was extremely responsible, and whose team included Yu Wudao, naturally couldn't take them on any adventurous missions.

The group arrived safely at the venue for the competition – Xingluo City.

The group registered for the competition under the name of Shrek Academy's predecessor, "Blue Tyrant Academy." However, due to the competition's rules, the second team, which had not been ranked before, was assigned to stay in the lowest-ranked hotel.

But are people so easily resigned to their fate?

Just as Yu Wudao was rubbing his hands together, preparing to follow the example of his predecessors who said "those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre," he randomly picked an unlucky person.

Ning Tian walked out with two waiters, and in about ten minutes, she returned to the group with a gold card.

"Let's go."

She winked her right eye at everyone and then walked into the elevator.

The group looked at each other in bewilderment before entering the elevator.

"So that's how it's solved? I hate rich people!"

Xu Sanshi said with tears streaming down his face and righteous indignation.

And Beibei, who was with him, seemed to have triggered some strange trait, replying, "But you yourself are a stinking aristocrat reeking of money!"

"Oh? Really? Then it's alright."

Xu Sanshi's expression changed, he put away his expression and said calmly.

The crowd burst into laughter.

The elevator went up and stopped at the top third floor.

Since the Blue Tyrant team has no reserve team, the entire team consists of only ten people plus one coach, so basically everyone can have a private room.

After tidying up, everyone gathered in the conference room. Zhang Lexuan held a piece of paper in her hand, which contained the rules of the competition.

"The rules of this competition are not much different from those of the past. The first round is still an elimination round, which will eliminate half of the teams. The second round is a round-robin tournament with a random selection of single elimination, 2-2-3 cooperative battle, and team battle. Then there is a third round of elimination, until the top four are determined."

Xu Sanshi glanced at Jiang Nannan sitting next to Ning Tian, ​​then asked, "Senior Sister, if the first round is an elimination tournament, isn't there too much uncertainty?"

Zhang Lexuan shook her head and replied, "Don't worry too much. Based on past experience, there are around 150 participating teams. The probability of encountering a strong team is too low, so there's no need to worry."

Xu Sanshi nodded, looking like he understood.

"Please feel free to bring up any other questions you have regarding the competition format!"

Then, the crowd raised several questions about the competition format, which Zhang Lexuan answered one by one.

The questioning stopped a quarter of an hour later.

Zhang Lexuan put the papers aside, parted her lips slightly, and said, "I know you are not used to participating in the competition as official team members for the first time, but don't feel pressured."

You are all the chosen ones of Shrek Academy. There are many mediocre talents on the continent; they are no match for you! Show your strength and talent in the competition, and broaden your horizons! That's what you should be thinking about!

Hearing this, everyone felt a sense of relief, and the invisible pressure instantly dissipated. "And—I can tell you some good news—"

Zhang Lexuan held her index finger up in front of her, revealing a mysterious smile.

Everyone looked over curiously.

"Wu Dao—He broke through to level 40 last night!"

"What?!"

Beibei's eyes widened, and she jumped up from her seat.

"So fast?! How did you cultivate so quickly? Are you hiding some secret? Tell me!"

He reached out and grabbed Yu Wudao's shoulder, his tone somewhat frantic.

Spurred on by Yu Wudao, he worked hard for several months before breaking through to the Soul King level. In the blink of an eye, Yu Wudao had already reached the Quasi-Soul Sect level!

Yu Wudao clicked his tongue and brushed Beibei's hands away with a look of disgust.

"You broke up with Tang Ya, and we'll know how you did it in less than a month."

Beibei froze on the spot. Xu Sanshi looked regretful, walked to his side, put his hand on his shoulder, and sighed.

"Level 40!"

Yu Tianlong's eyes shone brightly, and as the first to praise, he was the first to exclaim in admiration.

"Even at the Soul Master level, the young master can directly fight a Soul Emperor! Once he obtains his fourth Soul Ring and becomes a Soul Grandmaster, no one in this arena will be able to stop him!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong recalled the scene of Yu Wudao directly killing the Soul Emperor that day, and nodded in agreement.

Long Jingni clenched her fists subconsciously, her gaze inexplicably falling on Yu Wudao.

"This guy—"

As for Yu Wudao, who was the absolute center, he didn't say anything, but just lowered his head and took a sip of tea with a blank expression.

Zhang Lexuan continued, "Yu Tianlong is right! There are three days of rest between the round-robin and knockout stages, and Elder Mu is right beside us. With his speed, taking Wudao to obtain the fourth soul ring and then returning will be no problem at all!"

Therefore, once we feel we're running out of steam in the round-robin tournament, we can have Wudao acquire the fourth soul ring, adding a combat power close to the Soul Saint level to our team!

So you don't need to worry about poor results at all! Our goal this time should be—the championship!

"champion----"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's breathing became rapid.

Champion of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament!

Every young and ambitious Soul Master on the continent yearns for this honor!

In the not-so-spacious conference room, everyone's fighting spirit was unprecedented!

Yu Wudao couldn't help but smile, the corners of his mouth hidden behind his teacup.

As a top genius produced by Shrek Academy, Zhang Lexuan's mobilization ability is indeed much stronger than Wang Yan's, who only has the cultivation of a Soul King!

With just a few words, he transformed the somewhat timid crowd, who had only intended to have some fun and broaden their horizons, into a group of people full of fighting spirit, like victorious roosters.

Zhang Lexuan seemed to notice Yu Wudao's gaze. She turned her head to meet Yu Wudao's eyes, and then playfully winked her right eye.
