"You little brat, you're really not being polite. Fine, fine, you can pass." The slovenly old man said irritably.

Upon hearing this, Su Ming curled his lip, withdrew his soul skill, and the vast sea of ​​clouds gradually dissipated. A group of core disciples fell from the sky, scattering like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

There are only four people still standing on the field.

Besides Su Ming, there was the pretty, aloof Gu Yuena, and two clueless henchmen who had no idea what was going on.

"You two, just stand to the side," Elder Xuan said, pointing at Su Ming and Gu Yuena.

"Boss, what about me?" Luo Hao asked with a shameless grin.

"You?" Elder Xuan glanced at him and said, "You're only good enough to get by by clinging to someone's coattails. Maybe in your next life."

Luo Hao's face immediately fell. He had thought that this time, like before, he could rely on others to squeeze into the top seven, but it turned out that relying on others was not as good as relying on himself.

After a while, the people on the ground struggled to their feet, all of them badly injured and barely able to move.

Elder Xuan was disappointed by this scene. How could they continue the assessment like this? They could only select from those who had lasted longer amidst the barrage of powerful attacks.

"This is a bit tricky. The two groups have lasted about the same amount of time," Elder Xuan muttered, looking at Bei Bei, Huo Yuhao, and their group of five, as well as Dai Huafu and Zhu Lu, and their group of five.

After careful consideration, Elder Xuan first pointed out two people.

"Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, you two come here." The disheveled old man beckoned.

The tall young man was overjoyed and looked at the stunningly beautiful and aloof girl beside him, saying smugly, "Nannan, we are a perfect match, a pair of celestial beings joining forces, invincible in Shrek Academy."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nannan's pretty face showed disgust, and she strode away from Xu Sanshi with her long white legs.

Su Mingding glanced at Jiang Nannan, who was touted as the most beautiful woman in the world in the early part of the original novel.

Unfortunately, while it is beautiful, it is too immature and lacks luster.

Su Ming glanced at her and then looked away. Beautiful women are all the same. At the top level, each one has her own unique charm. Once you've seen and experienced them all, you become numb to them.

Master Xuan is still selecting Shrek Academy's reserve team members.

With him and Gu Yuena on the team, the offensive system is already full or even overflowing. Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan were chosen to supplement the system.

Defensive and agile attack-type Soul Masters are indispensable to a team. Moreover, they possess strategic Soul Skills such as Xuanming Replacement, Invincible Golden Body, and Instant Teleportation, and their cultivation has reached the level of a four-ring Soul Master, thus making them stand out from a group of geniuses.

Then Elder Xuan hesitated. There was no doubt that Bei Bei's cultivation was among the top in the core disciples, but her position in the team had been taken by someone even stronger.

The fusion skill of Huo Yuhao and Dai Huafu's martial souls is also a major weapon for the team, making it a difficult decision to choose which pair to use.

The only thing to blame is that there are too many geniuses this year. Each of them could have been a core member in previous generations of the Shrek Seven Devils, but now they're all crammed together. It's a kind of happy problem, I guess.

"Huo Yuhao, Tang Dong, you two have been chosen." Elder Xuan made the decision quickly.

The Shrek Seven Devils team prioritizes strength. In comparison, Huo Yuhao and Tang Dong's Martial Soul Fusion Skill is superior, and their combinations are more diverse. Beyond strength lies potential. The existence of twin Martial Souls goes without saying; in previous eras, the emergence of one of them would surely shake the world and overwhelm his peers.

Dai Huafu was naturally dissatisfied, but unlike in the original story, Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong's cultivation levels had now caught up with his, and the power of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill was indeed inferior to that of others.

He could only snort coldly and leave with Zhu Lu.

Elder Xuan was too lazy to argue with a brat, so he chose Xiao Xiao as the last person he could.

Ning Tian and Tang Li were disappointed, but since the little girl also possessed a rare twin martial soul, they didn't have any objections.

"Alright, you can all leave now. There's nothing more for you to do." Elder Xuan waved his hand, dismissing the core disciples.

Bei Bei clenched his fists, his face full of resentment. He glanced at the worried Xu Sanshi, shook his head with a bitter smile, and left the scene dejectedly.

He Caitou also remained silent. He was inconspicuous in that storm, but he stood firm for a long time, becoming a fortress among the top performers. However, he was deliberately ignored during the selection process.

He was naturally very unwilling, even angry.

But He Caitou glanced at the seven chosen people and sighed softly. They were truly more outstanding than him, and he could only hide in a corner and offer his silent blessings.

Before long, only seven core students remained in the Soul Fighting Zone: Su Ming, Gu Yuena, Huo Yuhao, Tang Wutong, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, and Xiao Xiao.

Elder Xuan stood before the crowd and said in a deep voice, "You've all heard of the Shrek Seven Devils, right?"

Upon hearing this, the seven people present had a vague premonition.

"That's right, you are the reserve team for this year's Shrek Seven Devils, and the regular teammates for the next year." Elder Xuan didn't keep him in suspense and solemnly announced.

Upon hearing this, only Su Ming and Gu Yuena remained calm, while the others showed some surprise.

"Do you know the significance of the Shrek Seven Devils? In addition to commemorating the first generation of Shrek Seven Devils ten thousand years ago, we also bear the important responsibility of resisting the Sun Moon Empire."

"As long as Shrek Academy exists, the ambitions of the Sun Moon Empire will never succeed. And the Shrek Seven Devils are related to the level of the younger generation of the original Douluo Three Empires. You could say it's a system that flexes its muscles," Elder Xuan proudly declared.

"Children, among you are two divine-level martial souls and three twin martial souls, unprecedented in history. You will surely dominate the world in the future," he said.

Chapter 139 Threats and Winning Over.

Su Ming took these words to heart and could understand the hostility between Shrek Academy and the Sun Moon Empire. Just like in his previous life, if the United States were to become a unified nation, it would indeed be beneficial to the overall development of humanity in the long run.

But as the saying goes, those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts. If it is not the Chinese who will be the unifiers, then it would be better to blow up this earth.

Finally, Elder Xuan said solemnly, "Your selection as members of the reserve team is an academy secret, and no one is allowed to tell anyone. Otherwise, you will be disqualified. Don't take it lightly; this is to protect you."

"Furthermore, from now on, you will train with me one day a week. There is still one month until the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament. I will train with you and the Seven Devils who will be participating in this tournament. I hope you will seize this precious opportunity and improve yourselves as much as possible."

"Thank you, Elder Xuan." X7

The group of people, like chickens pecking at rice, cherished this opportunity.

"Alright, that's enough for now. Training will begin at this time tomorrow." Looking at the group of energetic children, Elder Xuan smiled and said.

Su Ming waited until everyone had left before heading to the Soul Guidance Department alone.

He had seen He Caitou's dejected figure as he left, and knew he should make a move to win him over.

The academy was very large, and He Caitou should not have gone far after the event ended. Su Ming used his teleportation ability to cover dozens of feet in one step and quickly caught up with the tall figure.

Su Ming followed He Caitou for a while, then decided to make a noise to alert him.

Clang!

"Who's there!" The bald, dark-skinned figure walking on the tree-lined path seemed to sense someone behind him and suddenly turned around and shouted.

He Caitou frowned as he watched a rock roll down the slope.

He looked around warily and shouted, "Which Soul Master is playing tricks here?"

A moment later, a handsome young man dressed in black emerged from behind the ancient tree.

He Caitou recognized the face and said in a deep voice, "So it's Junior Brother Su. What kind of soul tool do you need me to customize?"

Su Ming shook his head and said softly, "I've come to you to discuss something."

Then the boy suddenly moved, bending his palm into a claw and grabbing at He Caitou.

Click click~

Caught off guard, He Caitou reacted instinctively, with long and short guns emerging from all over his body. Then, he gathered energy, and various soul tools shot out colorful lasers.

buzz~

A ring of black light bloomed beneath Su Ming's feet, and his fourth soul skill, [Summoning Demon Scripture], lit up. Dark ripples spread silently in the air, and dozens of multicolored laser beams disappeared into them, like sinking into the sea, without even a ripple, as they were dissolved by the power of ultimate evil.

Hey!

Su Ming approached He Caitou, pressing one of his claws firmly against He Caitou's shoulder. A heavy force stiffened He Caitou, rendering him unable to move.

A dazzling yet dark halo of light bloomed in the boy's palm, and the power of evil forcibly invaded He Caitou's body.

Rumble!

The bald boy's eyes widened, and a blazing golden halo rose slowly from his abdomen, radiating billions of golden rays and dispelling all the surrounding darkness.

Then it transformed into a golden-red sun, hovering behind him and shining brightly.

But the scene quickly faded away; the sun disappeared, and the dimly lit path remained as if nothing had happened.

"The Sun Martial Soul, a royal lineage of the Sun and Moon Empire," Su Ming said calmly, turning his head to look at He Caitou beside him.

Upon hearing this, the bald, muscular young man's eyes widened, revealing dense blood vessels in the whites of his eyes, and a chilling murderous intent emanated from him.

But the next moment, when He Caitou tried to activate his soul power, he was horrified to find that his dantian was shrouded in a black halo, and the soul power that was about to surge out was completely dissolved by the black halo.

"A variant of the fourth soul skill, Heavenly Demon Seal." Su Ming patted He Caitou on the shoulder, a smile playing on his lips, and said, "Shall we have a good talk?"

He Caitou took a deep breath. Now I am the fish on the chopping block, and all I can do is speak calmly.

"What do you intend to do?" he asked calmly.

Su Ming smiled and said, "If you reveal your twin martial souls, you'll definitely have a place among the Shrek Seven Devils. Why keep it a secret?"

He Caitou couldn't help but want to punch him when he heard this. You fucking know I'm a member of the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire. Showing this is just asking for trouble.

“Shrek’s vision isn’t that narrow, especially since your teacher is Fan Yu.” Su Ming saw through He Caitou’s little scheme and shook his head, saying, “Of course, this is assuming you’re not a spy for the Sun Moon Empire.”

"Hehe, if I said I wasn't a spy for the Sun Moon Empire, do you think Shrek would believe me?" He Caitou chuckled.

"I believe you." Su Ming's sincerity surprised the bald boy.

"Tell me your story, and see if it matches what I found." Su Ming looked at He Caitou, putting pressure on him through his words.

"What do you want to do?" He Caitou felt uneasy; his biggest secret had been revealed, and he felt very passive.

“You are the son of a previous emperor of the Sun Moon Empire. Your father was usurped by your uncle, and your entire family was killed. You were the only one who escaped,” Su Ming said casually.

"Who are you? These things are so secretive, how do you know everything about them?" He Caitou, provoked, glared at Su Ming and roared.

"Don't worry about how I know. Just understand one thing: you have a blood feud with the Sun Moon Empire, and I can help you," Su Ming said bluntly.

He was too lazy to play the emotional card with He Caitou. Once someone harbored hatred and had his biggest secret exposed, controlling him would be a piece of cake.

"Haha, you? You have no idea how powerful the Sun Moon Empire is. Even the three great empires on Shrek might not be its match." He Caitou laughed as if he had heard a joke, tears streaming down his face.

“I think you’re the one who’s funny. Your uncle, the current emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, is a completely different thing from the Sun Moon Empire. Destroying an empire is difficult, but assassinating an emperor is easy.”

Su Ming said dismissively.

He Caitou looked surprised and said, "Even so, it's not easy. The Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire always has a Level 9 Soul Master by his side. You can't assassinate him."

“You’re wavering. Do you believe that with my talent, I can force my way into the Sun Moon Empire’s palace in ten years, assassinate their emperor, and then disappear without a trace?” Su Ming said confidently.

A twelve-year-old Soul King, and also a god-level martial soul.

He Caitou pondered for a moment, then realized he was wavering: "How can I trust you? Why are you helping me like this?"

Su Ming pressed his advantage, saying, "What I need is your talent for researching soul tools. You just need to sign a contract with our Mingxuan Chamber of Commerce, and the Chamber will provide you with unlimited resources. All you need to do is join the Mingxuan Chamber of Commerce and lead the research on soul tools."
