Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends

The number of Soul Kings he possesses is now comparable to that of the Star Luo Royal Academy, where he studies.

Davis frowned slightly.

However, when it comes to top-tier combat power, his Star Luo Royal Academy is second to none.

Davis's gaze swept over the figures in the Shrek team whose auras were clearly weaker; those few Soul Masters were the breakthrough point.

As long as we seize these opportunities, Shrek Academy is nothing to fear.

Victory is his for sure in this Soul Master Tournament.

Just then, Dai Mubai, who was in the distance, seemed to sense something and suddenly raised his head.

Those eerie double pupils locked onto the figure on the balcony with pinpoint accuracy.

The two brothers' eyes met in mid-air.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

The hustle and bustle of the streets, the chatter of the crowd, and the distant sound of horse-drawn carriages all became distant and indistinct at this moment.

Only those two gazes remained, silently colliding in the air.

Davis looked into those eyes that were similar to his own yet completely different, seeing the familiar arrogance and unwillingness within them, and a slow smile crept onto his lips.

The smile was faint, yet it carried a condescending air.

It is scrutiny, it is sizing up; it is the indifference of a hunter when assessing his prey.

He nodded slightly, which was considered a greeting.

Then, he turned around and left the balcony.

Dai Mubai stood there, watching the figure disappear on the balcony, his fist clenched tightly until his knuckles turned white.

Those sinister eyes were now burning with extremely complex emotions.

There was shock, vigilance, long-suppressed anger, and a hint of apprehension that even he himself was unwilling to admit.

"Boss Dai?"

Ma Hongjun's voice came from behind.

"what happened to you?"

Dai Mubai took a deep breath and forced himself to look away.

"nothing."

His voice was a little hoarse, but he quickly regained his usual arrogance.

"Let's go to our lodgings."

Ma Hongjun glanced at him suspiciously, then followed his gaze to the third-floor balcony of the building, wondering what was wrong with Boss Dai today.

Shrek's group continued forward and soon disappeared around the corner of the street.

Meanwhile, on the balcony in the distance, Davis had already returned to his room.

He sat on the sofa, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest, his face expressionless.

Zhu Zhuyue walked to his side and gently nestled against him: "Your Highness, what are you thinking about?"

Davis was silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "When he was in Xingluo, he was just a young tiger locked in a cage. I thought that after leaving Xingluo, he would die in some corner."

His voice was calm, devoid of any emotion.

"Unexpectedly, he not only survived, but also found suitable teammates."

Zhu Zhuyue smiled gently: "Two Soul Kings, that's indeed unexpected. But there's also a Soul Venerable in their team, that's an undeniable fact."

Davis nodded.

Yes, a Soul Master is a Soul Master.

In the finals, any weakness could become a fatal vulnerability.

Shrek, on the other hand, has too many weaknesses.

“Have someone keep an eye on things,” Davis said calmly. “Once the season starts, I need detailed intelligence on every game.”

"Yes, Your Highness."

……

the next day.

The morning sun shone on Wuhun City, turning the entire city into a golden hue.

Outside the massive arena, crowds surged.

Teams from various colleges arrived one after another and entered the venue in an orderly manner under the guidance of staff.

In the audience, dignitaries and soul masters from all over the mainland were already seated.

Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, was sitting in a VIP seat with an excellent view.

He smiled, his gaze sweeping over the teams entering the arena below, a thoughtful glint in his eyes.

"Sect Master, I've heard there are many geniuses in this competition. Which team do you think has the best chance?" a follower asked in a low voice.

Ning Fengzhi smiled but did not answer directly.

His gaze fell on a familiar figure in one of the teams.

"Let's take our time and see," Ning Fengzhi said softly. "The competition has only just begun."

Just then, a loud voice resounded throughout the entire Soul Arena via the amplified soul guide device.

"The finals of the Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies have officially begun!"

"Now, let's begin the first round of the draw!"

The enormous soul-guided device for drawing lots slowly rotated in the center of the arena, with the number plates of the representatives from various academies tumbling and jumping within it.

In the audience, everyone's eyes were focused on the spinning crystal ball.

Inside Shrek Academy's preparation area, Flander clasped his hands together, muttering to himself, "Don't draw a strong team, don't draw a strong team, don't draw a strong team..."

Yu Xiaogang stood to the side, his eyes behind his glasses fixed on the soul tool for drawing lots, his fingers slightly curled.

Tang San, Dai Mubai, Cinderella, and the others also held their breath.

The rules for the finals are simple, yet brutal.

The first round is a single-elimination tournament.

If you lose, you go straight home.

There is no room for error.

The crystal ball slowly stopped spinning.

A number plate popped out, was caught by a staff member, and was announced loudly:

"Shrek Academy versus Fabia Academy of the Heaven Dou Empire!"

Inside Shrek's training area, there was a moment of stunned silence, followed by an uncontrollable burst of cheers.

Fabius College!

Upon hearing this, Flander's fat face trembled with excitement: "God has helped me! God has helped me!"

Yu Xiaogang also let out a long breath, and his tense shoulders finally relaxed.

Tang San and Cinderella exchanged a glance, and a smile simultaneously appeared on their lips.

Meanwhile, in the Fabia Academy's preparation area not far away, there was a chorus of groans.

The teacher in charge looked worse than if she had cried, and the team members were all dejected, as if they had already foreseen their fate.

Chapter 442 The Competition Begins

The Fabia Academy team only has three Soul Masters. It is an ordinary advanced Soul Master academy in the Heaven Dou Empire. The reason it was able to reach the finals of the Soul Master Competition is entirely because it is not in the Heaven Dou City division, but in the Kingdom and Duchy division.

That's why the Shrek training area was so excited when the draw results were announced.

"Holy crap! Fabia Academy!" Ma Hongjun's chubby face flushed red, and he was so excited he almost jumped up.

"Thank God!"

A sharp glint flashed in Dai Mubai's evil eyes, and a sinister smile curled at the corner of his mouth: "Three Soul Masters, and the rest are all Soul Venerables... This luck is practically handing the advancement slots to us."

Cinderella gently tossed her long golden hair, her amber eyes reflecting the utterly devastated expressions of the Fabia Academy team members opposite her. She smiled but said nothing.

Tang San didn't speak, but a hint of relaxation flashed in his deep eyes.

Yes, relax.

From being crushed by Canghui Academy in the first match of the preliminaries to fighting hard in the qualifying rounds, Shrek Academy has faced tough battles in almost every match.

Now, in the first round of the finals, they've finally drawn an easy opponent.

Flander stood with his hands on his hips, his fat face trembling with laughter: "Good, good, good! Let's show them what we Shrek students are made of!"

Yu Xiaogang adjusted his glasses and said in a deep voice, "Don't underestimate the enemy. Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. Stick to the established formation and finish this quickly!"

"understand!"

Soon, the referee's voice resounded throughout the entire Soul Arena via the amplified soul guide device:

"The first match of the first round of the finals, Shrek Academy versus Fabia Academy! Please bring your teams to the stage!"

Inside the massive arena, tens of thousands of spectators turned their gazes to the central ring.

The seven members of Shrek Academy filed out.

Leading the way was Dai Mubai, whose long white hair gleamed coldly under the lights, and whose sinister eyes were like two sharp blades piercing straight at the person opposite him.

Behind him, Ma Hongjun walked with his toes pointing outwards, his chubby face glowing with excitement.

On either side, Zhu Zhuqing, like a black phantom, silently lingered at the edge of the group.

Cinderella's golden hair flowed freely, and her crystal dancing shoes shimmered with tiny sparkles beneath her feet, each step leaving behind a trail of stardust.

Behind them, Tang San and Lin An walked side by side.
