Douluo Continent: Taking Tang San as a disciple, with a ten-thousand-fold return for teaching him.

Chen Luo called out helplessly, "Next time, don't knock, just come in and talk!"

"it is good."

A slightly shy voice rang out.

Not Flanders!

It's Liu Erlong!

Chen Luo immediately sat up, and then saw Liu Erlong push the door open and enter.

Chen Luo's heart began to beat faster...

Chapter 169: The Preliminaries Begin

the next morning.

Chen Luo stood shirtless by the window, breathing in the fresh air. His muscles were clearly defined, exuding masculinity.

This body has been transformed through various opportunities, becoming incredibly strong and perfect. It's not just the face that's handsome; the body lines are also quite aesthetically pleasing.

Chen Luo turned around and saw Liu Erlong on the bed looking at him with deep affection, her face charming and her pretty face flushed.

The skin exposed outside the blanket was fair and smooth, with a hint of pink, making one's heart flutter.

"You sleep a little longer, I'll go check on the little monsters' training," Chen Luo said gently with a smile.

Liu Erlong nodded gently, her former fiery temper completely gone, replaced by the demeanor of a gentle woman: "Mm."

Chen Luo went to the bedside, gently kissed Liu Erlong on the lips, and then left.

Before leaving, Chen Luo reminded her, "Remember to change the blankets. They're stained with blood, but it's not like we're short of money for new ones."

"Mm," Liu Erlong replied softly.

Leaving the cabin, Chen Luo walked along the forest path, his mind unconsciously replaying the vibrant spring of the previous night.

Since some things have come to pass, let them happen naturally.

He was always Chen Luo, not Yu Xiaogang, and he didn't have as many inner conflicts as Yu Xiaogang.

Having no psychological burden to begin with, and having learned about Yu Xiaogang's true background from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, he had even fewer distracting thoughts.

Shrek Academy Arena.

When Chen Luo arrived, the little monsters were already engaged in practical training, further refining their lineup for the qualifiers.

Their targets were several Soul King teachers in the academy, so the intensity of their combat training was undeniable.

Chen Luo watched the little monsters' combat training in the arena for a while, then left with peace of mind.

Excellent students don't need much attention; besides their talent, their self-discipline and hard work are beyond question.

Afterwards, Chen Luo went to the college office building to confirm that all the matters related to the preliminary rounds had been taken care of, and there was nothing else he needed to do.

Chen Luo also considered using his knowledge of the plot to obtain information about the opponents the Shrek team would face in advance, so as to make corresponding responses.

But this is just the preliminary round, there's no need to make it so complicated. He has faith in the little monsters' abilities.

Chen Luo went to the academy cafeteria to bring Liu Erlong some food and took it back to her, then left the academy.

He wanted to see the changes in Heaven Dou City. The preliminary rounds of the Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament were about to begin, and he estimated that Heaven Dou City was already making the necessary preparations.

Walking on the streets of Tiandou City, everything was as Chen Luo had expected. The Tiandou Great Soul Arena was under renovation and it looked like it would be completely completed in the next two days. Other arrangements were also nearing completion. After all, as the capital of the Tiandou Empire, its efficiency was commendable.

To Chen Luo's surprise, he actually ran into an acquaintance on the street.

"Brother Fu, what are you doing here?" Chen Luo greeted him with a smile.

Flander smiled slightly: "I've come here to take care of some business. Being a dean isn't easy these days. You have to find ways to make money for the academy. Only when the academy is rich can it provide better conditions for the students."

"Make money?"

Chen Luo immediately thought of Shrek Academy's school uniform sponsorship business, and realized that this must be it.

However, Flanders replied, "Yes."

"I bought some properties near the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena half a year ago, and now they have all been converted into hotels, which will soon make money for me, no, for the academy."

Chen Luo laughed, admiringly saying, "Boss Fu is truly amazing!"

a few days later.

Heaven Dou City, Heaven Dou Grand Battle Arena.

The opening ceremony of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, Heaven Dou Empire Division, has begun.

When Shrek Academy and his group entered the Soul Arena, it was already very lively. The Heavenly Dou Great Soul Arena had combined all the sub-arenas with the main Soul Center into one huge arena, and the spectator seats were full, with all the spectators extremely excited and enthusiastic.

Faced with this scene, the little monsters were very excited, but also a little nervous.

Not to mention the little monsters, even Chen Luo was a little nervous inside, but he just appeared very calm on the surface.

"Hey Boss, this school uniform looks pretty good. You really went all out, didn't you?"

Chen Luo asked with a smile.

Shrek Academy's school uniforms have been updated. Although they are still predominantly green, the current green gives a more vibrant feel compared to the previous dingy green. With some black accents, the overall look, while not particularly cool, is at least quite comfortable.

Flanders smiled slightly and said, "It's just a small amount of money, nothing to worry about."

Liu Erlong joked, "That's really strange, when did Boss Fu become so generous?"

Flander retorted firmly, "I've always been this generous, okay?"

Chen Luo said, "The hotels near the Soul Arena are all fully booked. I estimate that Boss Fu is making a fortune these days."

Flander laughed and said, "Keep it low-key, keep it low-key. We didn't earn that much. It was all for the development of the academy."

Liu Erlong also knew about Flander's property purchase and laughed, "Making money still comes from Boss Flander!"

Flander said confidently, "Of course!"

Chen Luo, Liu Erlong, and Flander walked in front, with the little monsters following behind.

While Chen Luo and his friends were chatting and laughing, the little monsters were also talking in hushed tones, discussing nothing more than the grand scene before them and the upcoming competition.

Even without their school uniforms adorned with advertisements, the Shrek monsters still attracted a lot of attention. The team boasted a variety of attractive features, great figures, and charismatic personalities, making it hard for them to go unnoticed.

Guided by the staff, the Shrek team entered the rest area provided for the participating academies in the main arena and found a seat at random.

"The roster for the qualifiers has been submitted. Hopefully, we can have a match today, win it soon, and relax soon."

Flanders returned from submitting the list and smiled as he spoke to the little monsters.

"You guys are really confident. I hope you don't run into us, lest you suffer a huge blow."

A cold laugh suddenly rang out, immediately attracting the attention of everyone at Shrek Academy.

The speaker was a young man in his early twenties, pale-faced, thin, with small eyes full of disdain.

He wore a moon-white Soul Master robe with a blue ring on his shoulder, embroidered with the words "Cang Hui".

"Canghui Academy?"

Upon seeing this, Chen Luo couldn't help but chuckle to himself: "Back in Soto City, we accidentally missed each other when we took the little monsters to the Star Dou Great Forest. I never expected to run into them again at the Elite Tournament..."

Hearing the other party's sarcasm, Dai Mubai retorted without hesitation, "I'm really looking forward to it!"

Chapter 170 A Crushing Victory

After Dai Mubai retorted, the slender young man from Canghui Academy wanted to continue his verbal sparring, but he was stopped by an old man next to him. The entire Canghui Academy also moved their positions, and the scene quieted down.

As he left, the old man glanced at Flanders indifferently, and Flanders also glanced at the old man indifferently.

After exchanging glances, Dai Mubai and the others immediately looked at Flander with questioning eyes.

Flander explained, "That old guy is called Shi Nian. His martial soul is Remnant Dream, which can make people lose their way in an illusion until they die. He is vengeful and should have reached the Soul Saint level by now. It's best not to provoke this kind of person; he's very troublesome and disgusting."

The mockery from Canghui Academy was just a minor incident. Most academies would engage in some mockery; a competition without any tension wouldn't be a competition. It's just that other academies didn't speak as crudely as Canghui Academy, practically hurling the word "trash" at each other.

If Shi Nian hadn't stopped the students from Canghui Academy from continuing their verbal sparring, a conflict might have broken out.

Chen Luo silently memorized Shi Nian's appearance and had already reserved a soul bone for Tang San in his heart.

In the story, Shi Nian later attacked Tang San, but was killed by Tang San and obtained Shi Nian's soul bone.

The process was extremely dangerous; Tang San almost died.

But now there's no need to worry. With me as your teacher, there's no danger as long as you pay a little attention.

If he dared to act recklessly back then, he would surely never return.

Chen Luo hadn't taken advantage of the teaching return policy for a long time, mainly because he didn't have anything good to give away. Giving ordinary things wouldn't be very meaningful, and good things were hard to obtain. If Shi Nian insisted on giving him his soul ring, Chen Luo wouldn't be polite.

A mere Soul Saint is not worth mentioning.

When most of the participating colleges had arrived, the competition staff quickly came to the rest area to organize the colleges that had arrived to enter the venue.

Shrek Academy had previously achieved second place in the Advanced Soul Master Academy Exchange Tournament held in Tiandou City. Although it was not widely known, it still had a certain degree of fame in Tiandou City. The staff took it very seriously and invited the little monsters to enter in a very polite manner.

Chen Luo, Flander, and Liu Erlong, who are the team's mentors, do not need to enter the venue; they can watch the entire opening ceremony from the stands.

Standing in the stands, Chen Luo watched as one Soul Master team after another entered the arena, listening to the excited shouts and cheers of the audience, and his heart couldn't help but stir as well.

I could never experience this feeling before, whether I was reading novels or watching anime.

He now seemed to understand why many people in his previous life spent a lot of money to watch games and concerts live. Although watching on a mobile phone or computer was free, it could never compare to the feeling of being there in person.

Soon it was Shrek Academy's turn. Their appearance was met with cheers and shouts. Without the school uniforms covered in advertisements, they no longer had to endure being ridiculed by everyone and could fully enjoy the moment.

To be honest, Flander has changed a lot. He is still good at making money, but he has never put his mind on his students. He has spared them a lot of suffering, while also allowing them to enjoy more resources and benefits. He is wholeheartedly concerned about his students, and can finally be considered a good dean.

After the little monsters entered, Chen Luo's gaze shifted to the VIP stage.

Seeing that Chen Luo's gaze was fixed in that direction, Liu Erlong began to introduce Chen Luo.

"The second row, from left to right, consists of three members of the teaching committee of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, all of whom are Soul Douluo-level powerhouses, as well as Prince Xue Xing of the Heaven Dou royal family."

"In the first row, in the middle is Xue Ye, the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire; on the left is Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School; and on the right is Salas, the platinum bishop and temple master of the Heaven Dou City Martial Soul Temple."

Chen Luo nodded gently, quite enjoying the feeling of having many names pass through her mind but not being able to remember them.

Chen Luo's gaze lingered on Ning Fengzhi and Salas for only a moment longer, while he merely glanced at the so-called Emperor Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire.
