Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

Do I, Xue Qinghe, look like a sucker?

And why should I help Shrek Academy?

"This matter has always been handled by my grandfather, Prince Xuezhou. When he gets angry, even my father can't say a word."

Dean Flander should find a way to pay the fine as soon as possible, otherwise Shrek Academy might be expelled from this year's Soul Master Competition.

After giving a reminder, Xue Qinghe led his team forward and entered the competition venue.

Yu Tianheng, who had remained silent, gave Yu Xiaogang a cold look before continuing on his way.

"How could this be?"

Flanders, clutching his hair, was filled with deep regret.

He really didn't expect things to turn out this way, and he certainly didn't expect the Empire to have such a ridiculous rule. Now that he's been fined over ten million gold soul coins, how is he supposed to pay it?

Not to mention that there are only four days left. Even if Shrek Academy manages to secure a sponsor in four days, it will be difficult to raise more than ten million gold soul coins.

Are all their efforts going to be in vain?

"Rongrong, could you please contact your father?"

Yu Xiaogang walked over to Ning Rongrong and asked in a low voice, feeling very embarrassed and regretful.

He was the one who first suggested persuading those trainees to withdraw, and now that things have escalated to this point, he bears the main responsibility.

However, he didn't have that many gold soul coins. He certainly couldn't rely on his family, since if his family were truly wealthy, they wouldn't have let Blue Tyrant Academy end up in such a sorry state.

The only one they can turn to for help right now is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, after all, it used to be one of the three most powerful schools, and in terms of accumulating wealth, even the combined wealth of the Clear Sky School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School cannot compare.

"Let me think of a way."

Ning Rongrong glanced at Tang San, who was still frantically rinsing his mouth, and sighed, resigned to taking on this mess.

However, she wouldn't be foolish enough to accept everything blindly. She would relay the information back to her father and the others, eventually handing it over to Tang Chen's grandfather and giving him a headache.

After all, it was Tang Chen's grandfather and the others who came up with the idea of ​​gathering at Shrek Academy. Now that this has happened, their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will not take the blame.

Moreover, their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was not wealthy. Although they were very rich in the past, most of their wealth came from those kinds of industries, and they didn't have much liquid capital. After going into seclusion, all they could take with them were liquid capital and some treasures, not much spare money.

Seeing that Ning Rongrong had agreed to the matter, Yu Xiaogang breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the Shrek Academy team could successfully complete this Soul Master Competition, that would be enough. Once they won the championship, all other problems would cease to be problems.

Seeing the change in Yu Xiaogang's expression, Ning Rongrong increasingly agreed with her teacher's judgment.

The teacher once said that Flander and Yu Xiaogang had poor personalities and were very obsessed with things, just like a gambler. If they really risked everything, they would inevitably go crazy.

That's their current state; they've staked everything on this Soul Master Tournament. If their Shrek team can win, great; but if they can't, she doesn't know if the two of them will break down.

She wasn't very confident about winning the championship in this Soul Master Competition. Even though they had greatly improved with the help of Tang San's immortal herbs and divine medicines, their strength had only just crossed the threshold of Title Douluo.

Moreover, these so-called prodigies are somewhat unreliable, unlike true prodigies who grow through their own abilities. Even if they work together as a team, they might not be able to win against such a powerful opponent.

She was looking at Xuan in this Soul Master Competition!

The teacher was absolutely right. It's better not to get involved in gambling. Once you do, it takes root in your mind and slowly erodes your willpower, eventually turning you into a complete gambler.

Those two are finished!

Despite their bad mood, the Shrek Academy students still attended the opening ceremony of the Soul Master Competition.

The process was the same as always: a series of speeches followed by the opening ceremony, and then a draw to pair up participants for the first round of competition.

"Fate is quite strange."

Upon hearing that the Royal Fighting Team 2 would still be facing off against the Shrek Team, Tian Hao, wearing the Shi Nian vest, smiled. This fate is truly wondrous.

After the draw, the host signaled all the academy teams to leave the field. Two hours later, the first match of the first round began, with the Royal Fighting Team 2 being the first to fight. It was a kind of exhibition match.

"What a coincidence!"

In the rest room belonging to the Shrek Academy team, Oscar sat on the sofa and complained that they and the Heaven Dou Royal Academy were really destined to be enemies.

"I'm going to teach them a lesson this time!"

Having recovered after eating the Oscar sausage, Ma Hongjun clenched his fists and palms, eager to beat the Tiandou Royal Team to a pulp and wash away the shame of being kicked out last year.

"Heavenly Dou Royal Academy Team Two!"

Ning Rongrong glanced at Tang San, whose condition had not yet fully recovered, and began to plan her next tactics.

The tactical planning should have been left to Tang San, but judging from his state, he was clearly not in the mood, so I had to do it myself.

However, facing the Royal Fighting Team 2 this time is a good thing. At least they didn't have to face the teams from those Soul Master Universities or the Royal Fighting Team 1. Otherwise, facing such powerful teams would have required them to show more of their strength and skills, making future matches even more difficult.

"Although it is only the second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, it is certainly not as strong as the first team, but it should not be underestimated."

After giving a serious reminder, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but recall the scene of being kicked out of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy last year, a humiliation he had never forgotten.

"Since our opponent this time is the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, I'll add a condition: finish the battle within three seconds."

Flander suddenly spoke up and made a request. He had not forgotten the humiliation of last year, and this time he was determined to make Snow Star and the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy regret their decision and let them know how wrong they had been.

Moreover, with the strength of the children they have trained, it would be no problem to take down the Royal Fighting Team 2 in three seconds, and a wave of soul skills would clear the field.

Ning Rongrong, who was pondering tactics, looked dazed upon hearing this, blinking her beautiful eyes in disbelief.

Are you serious?

Do you know why the first match of the first round of the Soul Master Competition has always been given to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?

It was the only one held on the opening day.

Do you still want to receive the Empire's financial allocations?

Or do you really think we can win the championship 100% and acquire a territory to be self-sufficient?

"Leave it to me!"

Dai Mubai rubbed his hands together in agreement. With his current strength, he didn't need to use his fifth or sixth soul skills. His enhanced fourth soul skill, White Tiger Meteor Shower, was enough to sweep aside the Royal Fighting Team 2.

Furthermore, he also wanted to exacerbate the conflict between Shrek Academy and the Heaven Dou Royal Academy by deepening the conflict between Shrek Academy and the Heaven Dou Royal Family. Ideally, he would be ostracized in the end, so that he could propose transferring the academy to the Star Luo Empire, where it could become part of his own faction.

Having guessed Dai Mubai's thoughts, Ning Rongrong glanced at Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Xiao Wu, who were all eager to try, and slumped back on the sofa, feeling utterly exhausted.

She thought she had done a great job, constantly busy with everything for the team, but the problem was that no matter how capable she was, she couldn't lead this group of incompetent teammates.

Fine, do whatever you want!

"The original plan remains unchanged. Until we face those teams from the Soul Master Universities, you can only send out three main combat members."

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang spoke up and stated another condition, while subtly glancing at Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.

These two men hold such high positions in the team that they have seriously affected the mistress's status. They cannot be allowed to make any more of a show, otherwise the mistress will be completely relegated to a supporting role.

At the same time, he wanted his mistress to experience more of this high-intensity combat, to see if she could break through her bottleneck and reach level 50 through the stimulation of battle.

Once he reaches level 50, he can hunt for his fifth spirit ring. With his current overall abilities, he is capable of carrying a 70,000-year spirit ring, which will further enhance his strength.

I suppose that was enough for him to become the true core of the team.

"Third Brother, let me fight! I'll make the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy kneel and beg for mercy!"

Ma Hongjun ran to Tang San's side, eager to personally defeat the Royal Fighting Team 2 and show them his prowess.

"vomit!"

It would have been better if Ma Hongjun hadn't come over, because his arrival made Tang San, who had just recovered, gag again. He then took out a water bottle and frantically poured water into his mouth to rinse it.

That feeling was disgusting!

Xiao Wu glared angrily at Ma Hongjun, and if she hadn't been somewhat rational, she would have wanted to kick him again.

Although she knew that Ma Hongjun had been bewitched and manipulated, he had still truly stolen her third brother's first kiss, so how could she not be angry?

"Third Brother, what's wrong? Did you eat something bad?"

Tang San's reaction left Ma Hongjun bewildered, not understanding what had happened.

He had noticed something was wrong with Tang San before, that he was gagging from time to time and kept drinking water. What was going on?

Dai Mubai and the others standing nearby had strange expressions, but they couldn't say anything, let alone explain what had happened to Ma Hongjun, otherwise it would be even more awkward.

The best way to deal with this is to forget it, to completely forget it.

Chapter 610 Aftereffects

Despite feeling disgusted, Tang San ultimately fought alongside Xiao Wu and Dai Mubai, along with four substitutes, including Tai Long.

The remaining three substitutes were selected from the students who remained in the academy: one control-type Soul Master and two support-type Soul Masters. They did not require much teamwork, and the control-type Soul Master could complement Tang San.

Of course, the reason he boldly brought those three into battle was not because he intended for them to fight.

"Both sides bow!"

The referee leaped down, signaling both sides to bow to each other as per the rules, and then announced the start of the match.

"Game start!"

After the referee announced the start, both Shrek Team and Royal Fighting Team 2 activated their martial souls simultaneously. Those with beast martial souls possessed their martial souls, while those with weapon martial souls manifested them.

Knowing the strength of the Shrek Seven Devils, the Royal Fighting Team 2 fielded all of its main combat members, making it their strongest lineup.

Over the years, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy has invested heavily in talent cultivation. In particular, the addition of Xue Qinghe and Meng Yiran has brought the rest into the Heaven Dou Second Team, which is composed entirely of Soul Kings and is no less capable than other advanced Soul Master academies.

However, they were facing off against the Shrek team, who were playing with cheat codes.

After manifesting his martial soul, Blue Silver Grass, Tang San immediately rushed forward, even using the Ghost Shadow Step to confuse the members of the Royal Fighting Team 2.

"Blue Silver Cage!"

Even the Royal Fighting Team 2 didn't understand this fighting style. According to the information they had, this Tang San was a control-type Soul Master.

Even if you have some melee combat ability, it's too arrogant for a control-type Soul Master to be charging at the front.

"Blue Silver Cage!"

Once they were within a certain distance, Tang San decisively used the Blue Silver Cage to restrain the Royal Fighting Team 2. At the same time, the Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone that had regenerated on his back extended out and suddenly sprang up, propelling his body into the air.

At the same time, Dai Mubai also activated his third soul skill, leaped into the air, and unleashed his fourth soul skill, blasting out countless golden light orbs, which was the White Tiger Meteor Shower.

Countless golden orbs of light bombarded downwards at an angle, covering a very wide area.

Furthermore, because most of the Royal Fighting Team's attention had been drawn to Tang San, they did not realize that Dai Mubai had already prepared his fourth soul skill, and that it was so powerful.

Although the seven were Soul Kings, they were still struggling against this level of attack. The four team members without defensive Soul Skills were immediately severely injured and fell to the ground. As for the Blue Silver Cage, it had long been shattered, leaving them to face the White Tiger Meteor Shower's attack head-on.
