Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 348 Class Gap

Ji Lin frowned. There were too many people here; it wasn't a good place for a conflict. Fortunately, Ye Guyi stopped Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao.

Tang Ya doesn't recognize them now, and rushing up to acknowledge them will not yield any results; on the contrary, it will arouse the vigilance of the Holy Spirit Cult.

The old man in black at the head of the group looked at Ji Lin and his companions with a cold gaze, his eyes narrowed, revealing a thoughtful expression.

Tang Ya ignored Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao, who had called out her name, and turned to walk away. The other men in black followed her, including the old man in black who was a Title Douluo.

Only after Tang Ya and the others disappeared from sight did Ye Guyi release Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao asked with a worried expression, "How come Senior Xiao Ya is with an evil spirit master?"

Ye Guyi said calmly, "The Senior Sister Xiaoya you mentioned is also an evil soul master."

"How is that possible!?"

Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er said in unison.

The two found Ye Guyi's words hard to believe.

They couldn't accept how Tang Ya had become an evil spirit master.

Evil Soul Masters are universally hated on the continent. If Tang Ya were to truly become an Evil Soul Master, they have no idea how much pain Bei Bei would suffer.

Both of them felt sorry for Beibei, a gentle and devoted senior. They knew about Beibei's feelings for Tang Ya, a love that would last until death. Even after Tang Ya had been missing for five years, Beibei had not given up on this relationship and had never stopped looking for Tang Ya.

Ji Lin said helplessly, "Gu Yi is right. Senior Tang Ya is indeed an evil soul master now, and those people should all be members of the Holy Spirit Cult."

Nana was also pale. The Holy Spirit Cult was the source of her lifelong pain, the culprit that led to the destruction of her family, and it had reappeared before her.

Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao fell silent. They had also heard Ji Lin talk about the Holy Spirit Cult and knew about this evil soul master organization.

Wang Dong'er whispered, "Ji Lin, should we tell Senior Bei Bei about this?"

Ji Lin sighed and said, "The Holy Spirit Cult is probably also here to participate in this Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition. With Senior Tang Ya's current strength and age, she is probably a participant as well. She and Senior Bei Bei will meet sooner or later. It's good to tell him so that he can be mentally prepared in advance."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, Nan Qiuqiu quickly said, "It's our turn for the physical tests now, let's talk about this later."

The subsequent physical tests proceeded smoothly. After all, these were just tests to confirm age, and to keep the strength of each participating team confidential, there were no tests for soul power cultivation.

The test was different from the one Ji Lin took to enter Shrek Academy.

After leaving the physical testing room, the group checked into the Mingyue Hotel under the guidance of a welcoming girl.

According to the arrangements of the Sun Moon Empire Tournament Organizing Committee, the participating sects and academies were also divided into different tiers. For example, the Shrek Academy team, the previous champion, was definitely ranked first, staying in the best rooms and receiving the best treatment. The same applied to sects; the more famous the sect, the better the treatment it received.

Zizaimen? Those in charge of registration and record-keeping had no idea that Ji Lin, Wang Qiu'er, Wang Dong'er, and Xiao Xiao were the champion team members from the previous competition. They only knew that Zizaimen was unknown. Therefore, Zizaimen was assigned the most ordinary room, which was arranged according to the lowest level.

Although Zizaimen holds a Liyue Seven Stars position in the Liyue Merchant Guild, the Sun Moon Empire does not have a Liyue Merchant Guild because the original Douluo Three Kingdoms unanimously decided to exclude the Sun Moon Empire. Zizaimen itself is very low-key in the Liyue Merchant Guild and has a low profile. After all, they are still developing and have little reputation in the original Douluo Three Kingdoms. Mid- to low-level Soul Masters have never heard of Zizaimen. On the contrary, the high-level officials of the Three Kingdoms and top forces such as the Body Sect know a little about Zizaimen.

At Mingyue Hotel, the lower the floor, the worse the rooms; the higher the floor, the better. The first floor includes the lobby, several restaurants, etc.

Mingyue Hotel is one of the top hotels in the Sun and Moon Empire, and even the most basic room is quite nice. It's just a bit small, though. Each room is only about 20 square meters, but it has a private bathroom. The interior is simply and elegantly furnished. Each room has two single beds.

A 20-square-meter room is not spacious, but it's not crowded either, if only two people live there.

Fortunately, Ji Lin's group consisted of only one boy, and everyone else was a girl.

The top floor of Mingyue Hotel.

Unlike the other floors, there are only eight rooms on the top floor. Known as the Sky Villa, it is extremely luxurious.

If you stay at a regular hotel, it will cost a full three thousand gold soul coins for one night, which is an absolutely exorbitant price.

Every detail of the reception provided by the Sun and Moon Empire highlighted the class disparity.

Throughout the Mingyue Hotel, the number of rooms gradually decreases from the ground floor to the top floor. However, the higher the floor, the better the accommodation conditions.

All teams participating in this Continental Youth Soul Master Competition will be assigned accommodations based on the reputation and influence of their respective sects or academies on the continent.

People like Ji Lin from the Zizai Sect are currently on the second floor, without even a meeting room. This is the treatment of sects that are not well-known.

The participating teams that were able to stay in the eight rooftop villas of the Mingyue Grand Hotel were all from top academies and sects on the mainland.

Shrek Academy is staying in Villa Number One. In this respect, the Sun Moon Empire appears quite generous. This villa is not only the most luxurious, but it also reflects their status as the previous champion team.

Entering through the massive, castle-like gate of Villa No. 1, one arrives at a resplendent, golden reception hall. The hall's decor is predominantly gold. Transparent crystal chandeliers hang high from the ceiling, adorned with exquisite murals and various decorations, creating a dazzling spectacle.

To the south of the reception room, there is a spacious semi-circular balcony. From here, one can see almost half of Mingdu. The view is excellent.

The villa features a living room, a large conference room, twenty bedrooms of varying sizes, a gym, a tea room, and a rooftop garden of over 200 square meters. There is even a rooftop swimming pool in the center of the villa, as well as a small training ground.

The training ground is constructed with special materials and a soul tool defense system, capable of defending against most soul skill attacks below the Soul Saint level.

Compared to the Star Emperor Hotel where the Shrek Academy team stayed when they participated in the previous Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament in Star Luo City, the Mingyue Hotel offers even better accommodations.

Daily meals can also be customized and are all provided free of charge by the hotel. When they first checked into this villa, everyone on the Shrek Academy team was deeply moved. Even Dai Huabin, the son of a duke, was staying in such a luxurious hotel for the first time.
