The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 158 Shrek's Confidence

Li Xun smiled at the three education commissioners: "Tell me, do we still need to hold back our strength?"

"The three education commissioners, just wait for our good news." Yang Qianjun laughed when he saw that the three education commissioners were shocked by Li Xun's soul ring.

"Ahem, since you're all so confident, then I won't stop you. Anyway, with your current power as the Little Grand Preceptor, there's nothing I can change." Meng Shenji quickly covered his mouth and coughed lightly, trying to save face.

When Meng Shenji jokingly called Li Xun the "Little Imperial Advisor," everyone burst into laughter.

"Master Meng, please don't make such a joke. I'm not some minor imperial advisor. It's just my colleagues teasing me."

Li Xun smiled and waved his hand: "However, I do have a small request for this Soul Master Competition. I wonder if the three of you, the Education Committee members, would be willing to grant it?"

"Oh? Go ahead." Meng Shenji said seriously, "I can agree to anything within the academy's capabilities, but anything beyond that is up to you."

Since joining the academy, Li Xun has not made any demands or asked for any resources. This is partly because the other party has no shortage of resources, and partly because the academy really cannot offer any help.

Now that Li Xun has finally spoken up, Meng Shenji is quite curious to see what he's planning to do.

"Three members of the Education Committee, I would like to have our team participate in the Soul Master Competition wearing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's uniforms."

Li Xun smiled and said, "On one hand, it's to help the sect win, and on the other hand, it's to make some money."

"Of course, I will give 30% of the money I make to the academy as a reward, and we will split the remaining 70% equally among ourselves."

Upon hearing this, Meng Shenji and the other two frowned, and then discussed it for a while.

After a moment, Meng Shenji nodded: "I can agree to your request. After all, you are the ones who will be participating in the Soul Master Competition, and the majority of the participants will be from your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Currently, the only members of the entire Tiandu Royal Team who are not from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School are the Shi Mo and Shi Mo brothers. If you insist on calling them the Seven Treasure Team, it wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Li Xun said that it was a small request and that he was already giving them face. Otherwise, the other party could have easily affiliated their team members with any academy that was qualified to participate in the competition.

"Brother Li, you want to get us involved in making money together?" Yang Qianjun's eyes lit up as he looked intently at Li Xun.

The Stone Graphite and Stone Mill brothers were also pleasantly surprised. Although they were studying at the Royal Academy, their family was not wealthy. Now that Li Xun was going to help them make money, it was undoubtedly a helping hand to them.

After all, who on the mainland doesn't know the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's ability to make money, not to mention Li Xun's own revenue streams over the years.

"If we sweep through the Soul Master Tournament, it will definitely cause a sensation. We can take this opportunity to sell team uniforms and handicrafts and make a good income."

Li Xun looked at everyone with a smile, then winked at Zhu Zhuqing without realizing it.

He had actually started preparing for this a month ago. His main goal was to take this opportunity to promote the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, leaving a deep impression on ordinary people and soul masters, and laying a solid foundation for being approachable in the future.

Secondly, it's to earn some pocket money for Zhu Zhuqing and the others.

After all, a sect is a sect and an individual is an individual. If there are any big expenses, it's better to have some money in your own pocket.

While the Heaven Dou Royal Team was discussing how to make money, the Shrek Academy group at Blue Lightning Advanced Academy were also planning how to make a name for themselves in the Soul Master Competition.

Flander was the most excited, as he had already negotiated with several shops about the GG slot for the team uniforms.

Yu Xiaogang glanced at Flander, puzzled, then said to the Shrek team, "The qualifiers are tomorrow, so let me give you some advance planning."

"Tianheng, you are the oldest and most skilled player in the team, so you should be the captain."

Seeing Yu Tianheng nod, Yu Xiaogang looked at Dai Mubai and Tang San, hesitated for a moment and said, "Xiao San, as a control-type, you need to keep track of the movements of everyone in the team. You will be the vice-captain."

"Yes, teacher." Tang San nodded in deep agreement.

Dai Mubai stared blankly at Yu Xiaogang, opened his mouth but swallowed his words back.

If we were to rank them by age and cultivation level, he should be the vice-captain. However, Tang San is Yu Xiaogang's personal disciple and a control-type cultivator, so what he says won't change anything.

It doesn't matter, as long as he can meet Li Xun on the field, he will show him just how hard he has trained.

"And Qin Ming will serve as my deputy."

Yu Xiaogang looked around at everyone and, seeing that no one had anything to say, nodded: "Since no one has any doubts, I will explain the rules of the Soul Master Competition."

"First of all, the Soul Master Competition is divided into the preliminary rounds, the qualifying rounds, and the finals. The first is the preliminary rounds, which are seven-person team competitions. Even if you accidentally lose, you will not be eliminated because it uses a points system."

"The Heaven Dou Empire and various kingdoms and duchies have numerous Soul Master academies, so they are divided into six war zones, with a total of over a hundred academies competing for fifteen final spots, and the Star Luo Empire is no exception."

"Although they won't be eliminated directly, only the teams ranked in the top five of their respective regions can advance to the next round."

Yu Xiaogang took a sip of water as he said this: "After the preliminary rounds, there will be a qualifying round. This round will also not have an elimination mechanism. It will be mainly an individual battle, and will primarily be used to select elites for the Spirit Hall and the two great empires."

"The first two events are irrelevant; the main thing is the finals with the thirty teams, right?" Yu Tianheng nodded to indicate that he understood.

Yu Xiaogang shook his head: "There are a total of thirty-three teams. The three extra teams are the seed teams of the two great empires and the Spirit Hall. They will directly enter the finals and will not have to compete for qualification like other academies."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Li Xun's team, the Heaven Dou Royal Team 1, is a seeded team.

Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang mention Li Xun, the Shrek Seven Devils' expressions changed. They had already learned of Li Xun's current strength from Tailong and Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang looked stiffly at the Shrek Academy members: "I know Li Xun's current strength is a lot of pressure for you, but haven't you won against stronger opponents countless times?"

"What you should really be worried about is his Martial Soul Fusion Skill with that little girl from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but as long as one of you takes the hit, it'll be fine."

The mere mention of Li Xun made Ma Hongjun feel a burning pain in his buttocks, and he jumped up abruptly.

Raising his fist, he roared, "So what if he has high soul power? Ever since I gained the ability to fly, his plants have posed no threat to me. This time, we will make him pay the price!"

"Don't worry, teacher. We've been working so hard to cultivate for this moment." Tang San was also inspired by Ma Hongjun.

"Rest assured, Master, we will definitely avenge you."

Yu Xiaogang looked at the group of spirited young men, nodded, and suppressed the unpleasant memories of the pagoda in his heart: "Alright, since you are confident, I will arrange the order of your appearance."

"Master, with our strength, why do we need to arrange the order of appearance in the preliminaries? Why don't we just crush them all the way through?" Ma Hongjun said somewhat dismissively.

"The Soul Master Tournament is not as simple as you think. Not only is the competition long, but there are also many strong teams. I need you to hide your strength to avoid being targeted by other teams in the finals."

Tang San nodded: "Teacher is right. If all of our team members play, our opponents will figure out our strength after a few rounds. If Li Xun and the others find out, it will be very disadvantageous for us in the finals."

Seeing that Tang San understood his intention, Yu Xiaogang smiled and nodded: "In the preliminary rounds, I plan to only let the four of you regular players play in each match, and the remaining three will be replaced by substitute players."

"Do you have confidence?"

Before the rest of the Shrek Academy members could react, Tyrone, a substitute, spoke up first: "Master, you want me to play?"

Seeing Yu Xiaogang nod, Tailong trembled with excitement.

If he could play, it would mean facing Li Xun and Yang Qianjun. He was determined to fight with all his might to avenge his father.
