Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 349 Excited Beibei

The Shrek team, including its leader Zhang Lexuan, only had fifteen people, so twenty rooms were naturally enough.

This is the highest level of service and facilities available to the participating teams in this year's competition. Only eight teams are eligible to enjoy this.

Ji Lin brought Xiao Xiao, Wang Qiu'er, and Wang Dong'er to the top-floor villa, and then called Xu Jiujiu on the seventh floor.

However, after calling for a long time, our princess looked very unhappy and was very angry.

Ji Lin could understand the princess's feelings. As one of the top four in the previous competition, Xingluo Royal Academy was assigned to the seventh floor, which was not the top floor. No wonder she looked unhappy.

Especially after seeing Shrek's No. 1 villa, his expression turned even uglier. It wasn't that Xu Jiujiu disliked the environment of the seventh floor, but rather it concerned the reputation of the Star Luo Empire. There were eight top-floor villas, but the Star Luo Empire hadn't been allocated a single one. What would others think of this?

Zhang Lexuan led Ji Lin and the others into the luxurious and huge reception room, and said with a smile, "Speaking of Shrek Academy's treatment, it was something you fought for in the last competition."

"Without your perfect performance last time, we wouldn't have been able to stay here. You are more deserving of staying here than those cramped little rooms downstairs," Zhang Lexuan said softly as she took out a set of slender red wine glasses, poured a glass of white wine for Ji Lin and the others, and sat on the sofa.

Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan were already waiting on the sofa in the living room. Hearing Zhang Lexuan's words, Bei Bei agreed, "That's right. Without junior brother Ji Lin and junior sister Wang Qiu'er, we might not have won the last competition."

"What surprised me was that Star Luo Royal Academy didn't manage to get a room on the top floor. I wonder what kind of forces are living in the other villas on the top floor?" Zhang Lexuan took a sip of the white wine in her glass. The slightly sour wine was full of rich and fruity aromas, and the faint taste of pickled plums left a long aftertaste.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiujiu's face turned cold. Of course, this wasn't directed at Zhang Lexuan, but at the Sun Moon Empire. She gritted her teeth and said, "I also want to know what kind of sect is more qualified to occupy the top floor than our Star Luo Royal Academy."

Ji Lin shook his head and said, "I do know a little about that. Do you remember the Holy Spirit Cult I told you about?"

Ji Lin was actually quite unhappy. His Zizai Sect was indeed not well-known, so it was only natural that he stayed in a hotel on the second floor. He had nothing to say about that. However, Xingluo Royal Academy was one of the top four in the previous year, but it was assigned to the seventh floor. This was very unreasonable. No one would believe that there was no deliberate targeting.

If the actions of the Sun Moon Empire have displeased its princess, then don't blame Ji Lin for causing trouble for the Sun Moon Empire.

Xu Jiujiu asked in surprise, "You mean that evil soul master organization that colludes with the Sun Moon Empire, they're participating in the competition too?"

Ji Lin then recounted how they encountered the Holy Spirit Cult in the physical testing room.

Upon hearing the news about Tang Ya, Bei Bei jumped up, her expression excited, and said, "Xiao Ya! You met Xiao Ya! She's there! I'm going to find her!"

Xu Sanshi pressed down on Bei Bei's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Bei Bei, calm down and let Junior Brother Ji Lin finish speaking first."

Ji Lin sighed, "Senior Tang Ya probably doesn't recognize us anymore, and she has become an evil soul master and joined the Holy Spirit Cult."

"This is impossible! How could Xiaoya become an evil spirit master? She is such a..." Beibei said, her expression agitated, unable to accept the news.

"Beibei!" Zhang Lexuan called out softly. Beibei's body trembled, and she collapsed weakly onto the sofa, looking pained.

Ji Lin comforted her, "Senior Bei Bei, Senior Tang Ya must have been controlled by those evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Cult, otherwise she wouldn't have failed to recognize me and Xiao Xiao."

"No, I have to go save Xiaoya." Beibei stood up and was about to leave.

Xu Sanshi quickly grabbed Bei Bei, saying helplessly, "My good brother! Didn't you hear Junior Brother Ji Lin say that there's a Title Douluo-level evil soul master by Tang Ya's side? What can you do there? At least we know Tang Ya's situation now, which is better than not being able to find her at all. Don't worry, we will all do our best to help you rescue Tang Ya."

After hearing Xu Sanshi's words, Beibei's emotions finally stabilized a bit.

Seeing that Bei Bei's emotions had stabilized, Zhang Lexuan breathed a sigh of relief. Old Master Mu had already left, and she didn't want Bei Bei to have any problems either. After all, Bei Bei was practically her younger brother.

Zhang Lexuan looked at Ji Lin and said, "Because you encountered evil spirit masters in Dragon City last time and brought back news of the Holy Spirit Cult, the academy also sent people to investigate for a long time. After the information was integrated by the academy's elders, it was found that those evil spirit masters who had almost disappeared on the continent had joined this evil spirit master sect called the Holy Spirit Cult. If it weren't for the targeted investigation, we would have no idea that an evil spirit master sect had actually appeared on the mainland. A sect composed of evil spirit masters is an unbelievable thing and also very dangerous information."

"After investigation, it appears that this Holy Spirit Cult possesses a method to allow evil soul masters to break through to the Title Douluo level. In other words, this Holy Spirit Cult has a large number of evil soul masters at the Title Douluo level."

Generally speaking, before reaching the Title Douluo level, evil soul masters cultivate faster than ordinary soul masters. However, due to the pursuit and accusations they face as evil soul masters, and the need for blood, soul power, and other materials required for evil cultivation by their evil martial souls, very few evil soul masters are able to cultivate beyond the Title Douluo level.

The Holy Spirit Cult has clearly found a way to enable evil soul masters to break through to the title of Douluo.

Once Beibei calmed down, her intelligence returned, and she said, "These evil soul masters dare to openly participate in this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition. This means that the Sun Moon Empire and the evil soul masters are cooperating very closely. With them united, this year's competition may be subject to some changes."

Ji Lin was not surprised. Of course he knew how strong the Holy Spirit Sect was and how much it helped the Sun Moon Empire. He also knew that this competition would not go smoothly, but he was full of confidence. The Holy Spirit Sect could not keep their Zizai Sect. Originally, he did not plan to do anything other than participate in the competition to make a name for himself. However, the Sun Moon Empire bullied his wife and made his princess suffer. Therefore, Ji Lin felt that he should strengthen the Sun Moon Empire.

"The ambitions of the Sun Moon Empire towards the three great empires of the Douluo Continent are common knowledge. I knew long ago that this competition would not be peaceful, otherwise I would not have brought three elders with me," Xu Jiujiu said in a deep voice.

Zhang Lexuan also laughed and said, "Don't worry, Elder Xuan is here this time, along with several other elders of the Sea God Pavilion. No matter what the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Sect want to do, they will not succeed."
