The Peerless Tang Sect’s Sun and Moon Glory

The rooms that everyone in Shrek Academy lives in have the same specifications. The same is true for Ma Xiaotao's room, even the overall layout is very similar.

But there is a faint fragrance in this room.

Xu Zihuang looked at Ma Xiaotao who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa practicing, his breath gradually became calmer, and he took back his martial spirit.

Since arriving in Xingluo City and staying at the Star Emperor Hotel, he has used his first soul skill several times to help Ma Xiaotao suppress the evil fire problem. But in fact, there was no ambiguity at all.

On the one hand, Ma Xiaotao was troubled by the evil fire problem, and she had to concentrate on controlling the movement of her soul power when Xu Zihuang helped suppress it. On the other hand, whenever Ma Xiaotao's aura calmed down, Xu Zihuang would choose to leave Ma Xiaotao directly. s room.

Like it is now.

His talent is enough to get the attention of Shrek Academy's senior officials. If he becomes too close to Ma Xiaotao, it will put him in a more passive situation.

So he is deliberately avoiding the more charming scenes.

After all, he doesn't want to be completely tied to Shrek Academy yet. The emergence of the Noumenon Sect at the moment can just give the senior management of Shrek Academy a sense of crisis. Only in this way can his interests be maximized.

And Ning Tian, ​​the sole heir to the future master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect, is the key figure he uses to check and balance the relationship between the three.

Although Shrek Academy has some connections with ancient families and sects such as the Haotian Sect, the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect, and the Blue Lightning Rex Family, it is impossible for them to be close to each other.

Ning Tian's identity and background can match Ma Xiaotao.

Xu Zihuang was essentially using Ning Tian as a shield. With Ning Tian around, if the senior management of Shrek Academy wanted to bring him and Ma Xiaotao together, they would have to consider the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect behind Ning Tian.

Of course, he would not show any obvious rejection in contact with Ma Xiaotao.

Closing the door gently, Xu Zihuang came to the luxuriously decorated wide corridor of Star Emperor Hotel.

Because of the previous delay, the sky was already dark at this time.

On the ceiling of the corridor, crystal soul chandeliers exuded a soft halo.

Xu Zihuang walked along the corridor and returned to the crystal dining table in the restaurant. On the surface, the atmosphere was still warm, but it was less natural than before.

Set against the backdrop of platinum hair and bathed in the soul-guided light, Ning Tian's fair and delicate skin has a sense of transparency like white jade. He raised his chin slightly, his beautiful aqua eyes filled with light, not knowing what he was thinking.

Even when Xu Zihuang came to her side, he didn't notice it at the first time.

Looking at Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian who were close together, everyone understood and did not disturb them. Even Dai Yueheng and Chen Zifeng no longer pulled Xu Zihuang to continue the conversation.

"What's wrong?" A gentle voice sounded in his ears, making Ning Tian look sideways as if he was just waking up from a dream. Seeing that it was Xu Zihuang, she quickly returned to her dignified appearance and shook her head with a smile.

Although Ning Tian's temperament is much more mature than her peers, she is still only twelve years old after all, and her experience is not as rough as Xu Zihuang's. It is not that easy to hide her emotions perfectly.

Xu Zihuang understood in his heart, and got a little closer to Ning Tian, ​​lowering his voice.

"Senior Xiaotao's martial spirit is a mutated martial spirit, and she is often troubled by the problem of evil fire. My first soul skill has the function of relieving negative effects. Every time Senior Sister Xiaotao lets me go, it is actually to let me use this The soul skills help her suppress the evil fire."

He knew very well that going too far was not enough. The crisis caused by Ma Xiaotao's incident was enough for Ning Tian. Only by proactively explaining this obvious gap can Ning Tian's feelings be deepened. Make her realize that she cares about her thoughts.

The two of them were adjacent to each other. With Xu Zihuang leaning in like this, Ning Tian could clearly feel the heat brought by Xu Zihuang's words. She only felt that the tips of her ears felt hot, and her body became a little stiff.

"Hmm..., um." Ning Tian responded lightly. She did not object to close contact with Xu Zihuang, but out of a girl's instinct, a hint of shyness inevitably arose in her heart. The calm thoughts in her mind were interrupted by this strange feeling, which prevented her from giving the most appropriate response as before.

This is what Xu Zihuang wants to achieve.

"This boy Tianhuang is really good." Xu Sanshi, who had a panoramic view of the scene in front of him, couldn't help but mutter sourly in his heart. Thinking of this, he imitated Xu Zihuang's example and leaned towards Jiang Nannan beside him with a flattering expression.

It's just his look that makes him look extremely vulgar no matter how you look at him.

"boom--"

A crisp voice sounded, making Xu Sanshi sober up instantly.

Jiang Nannan was seen glaring at Xu Sanshi with a frosty face. She cut the red sausage on the dinner plate into two pieces with a silver table knife held in her right hand.

Xu Sanshi only felt his lower body tightening, and he quickly sat upright, not daring to make any unnecessary movements.

Beibei and He Caitou, who were sitting across from each other, looked at each other and both showed a gloating smile.

Xu Sanshi originally wanted to have a fit, but he was afraid of angering Jiang Nannan again, so he could only glare at the two of them.

And at this moment, a rush of footsteps came from far and near.

This time, the person who came to the restaurant was Wang Yan, who had returned from drawing lots in the Star Luo Empire Palace.

Wang Yan looked at everyone and said seriously.

"The results of the draw for the final knockout stage have come out. Our opponent in the 16th and 8th rounds is the Star Luo Empire's first academy, the Star Luo Royal Academy. This game may not be as easy as before. Everyone will arrive after dinner. Let’s gather in the conference room and discuss tactics.”

After saying that, Wang Yan turned around and left.

Hearing the words Xingluo Royal Academy, the expressions of the three inner court disciples Dai Yaoheng, Chen Zifeng and Gongyang Mo all changed.

Dai Yaoheng has already mentioned it before.

In this continent-wide advanced soul master academy soul fighting competition, there are only three academies that can bring a sense of crisis to Shrek Academy. Star Luo Royal Academy is one of them. Although Star Luo Royal Academy is not as good as Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and Diao Academy, its overall strength is still very strong.

All the main selected team members have cultivation levels above the soul king level.

Dai Yueheng said in surprise: "I didn't expect to meet the Star Luo Royal Academy so early. Didn't they qualify first in the group?"

According to the rules of this continent-wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, in the sixteen-to-eight competition, the teams that qualify first in group points will not be drawn to become opponents.

This is also the reason why so many college teams strive to qualify first in the group. Just to be relatively relaxed in this knockout round of sixteen to eight.

Gong Yangmo replied softly.

"I remember that Star Luo Royal Academy seems to be in the same group as Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy."

"It's no wonder." Everyone suddenly realized.

After finishing the remaining food on the plate, the group quickly arrived at the conference room.

Wang Yan sat in the first place, and Ma Xiaotao, who had suppressed his own evil fire problem, also arrived first and sat in the first place on the main selection team.

"Everyone, please take a seat." Wang Yan greeted and continued after seeing everyone sit down.

"Originally, given the strength of the Star Luo Royal Academy, they should have qualified first in the group. But their luck was not very good, and they happened to be assigned to the same group as the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. But this does not mean that the strength of the Star Luo Royal Academy Far inferior to the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. On the contrary, this year's Star Luo Royal Academy is very strong, with an average soul power cultivation level of around level 55. They emerged from the round robin second in the group purely because of reservations Because of my strength, I did not choose to go head-to-head in the competition with the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy."

Ma Xiaotao curled her lips and said carelessly: "We will encounter them sooner or later anyway. Just defeat them in tomorrow's game."

While speaking, Ma Xiaotao waved her arms eagerly.

With her character, it is very rare that she can bear not to appear in the elimination.

Wang Yan frowned and glanced at Ma Xiaotao, then continued.

"It's a good thing to have confidence. Xiaotao, you and Dai Yueheng are in the team, so there won't be any big problems. But our Shrek Academy's ultimate goal is to win the championship, and our biggest opponent is the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. In Before that, it is best to retain some strength. Next, I will tell you the rules of the final knockout stage."

"In the previous All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, the competition rules for each stage are different. Especially the final knockout stage, in order to make the competition more exciting, and also to allow the participating students to perform better Show your own strength. The way of the game will be different from the previous round-robin matches. There is no need to draw lots to decide the way of the game. Instead, there will be a fixed seven-on-seven team first, and then an individual elimination match. It will be held over two days. Winning the team battle does not mean that you will definitely qualify. In the subsequent individual knockout rounds, if the team that loses in the team battle can defeat all seven of the opponent's team with three players, it can also turn defeat into victory. "

"On the contrary, the team that wins the team battle only needs to defeat three of the opponent with seven people in the subsequent individual knockout rounds to achieve the final victory. Such a competition system not only reflects the importance of the overall strength of the team , and also gives opportunities to teams with strong individual strengths.”

It can be said that with the return of two powerful soul emperors, Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, this competition system is extremely beneficial to everyone.

Especially Ma Xiaotao, whose soul power reaches level 68. The further a soul master reaches the later stage of cultivation, each level of soul power he gains will greatly improve his strength. Although Dai Yueheng's soul power is also at level 64, his total soul power is probably only a little more than half of Ma Xiaotao's. Ma Xiaotao's martial spirit, Evil Fire Phoenix, is a well-deserved top-notch martial spirit. Coupled with the fact that he was born in the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy, his personal strength is definitely stronger than some ordinary soul saints.

At least in this continent-wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, Wang Yan could not find any participating student who could surpass Ma Xiaotao in personal strength.

He is not too worried about tomorrow's game against Star Luo Royal Academy. The only thing he needs to consider is whether he can allow everyone to win while retaining their strength.

So he made very detailed arrangements for tomorrow's game.

Those participating in the team battle are Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Chen Zifeng, Gong Yangmo, and Xu Zihuang, Beibei and Xu Sanshi from the reserve team.

There is no doubt that the four main team members Ma Xiaotao and Xu Zihuang will fight, but Wang Yan did not choose to let He Caitou, who is a soul mentor, play with terrifying attack power. He also took into account the special abilities of Beibei and Xu Sanshi.

After explaining the tactical arrangements, Wang Yan took out a stack of invitations from the soul guide.

Dai Yueheng looked at the stack of exquisite gilded invitations, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Invitation to the top auction at Starlight Auction House?"

Wang Yan nodded.

"On my way back from the Star Luo Empire Palace just now, I happened to bump into the Qingya auctioneer from last time. She handed it over to me. According to her, there is only one auction of this level in the Star Luo Empire every year. twice."

"That Qingya auctioneer is right. The power behind this Starlight Auction House is very powerful. In the past, I was not qualified to participate in this kind of top-level auction. Only my father or members of the royal family, large chambers of commerce, top soul masters, and soul... Only instructors are eligible to participate. All the items auctioned at this level of auction are worldly treasures. I think the Qingya auctioneer forwarded these invitations to you just to represent the Starlight Auction House behind her and our history. Just a good relationship with Lake Academy. Teacher Wang, what do you think?" As the eldest son of the White Tiger Duke, Dai Yueheng knows far more about the truth than Wang Yan.

Everyone looked at Wang Yan expectantly, even the inner courtyard disciples such as Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Chen Zifeng and Gong Yangmo. This top-notch auction is not something you can easily participate in. They actually just took advantage of Shrek Academy this time.

Wang Yan was still very open-minded. He looked around at everyone and said with a smile: "I took out these invitations, haven't I already explained everything? Some time ago, everyone was slaying evil soul masters and participating in competitions. Tonight we will go to grow Let’s take a look and relax a little. Also, didn’t Gongyang Mo’s soul power break through to level 60 some time ago? I heard that the Starlight Auction House also provides soul ring customization. Just now I specifically asked the Qingya auctioneer, There happen to be a few ten-thousand-year soul beasts in the Starlight Auction that are suitable as Gong Yang Mo's sixth soul ring. If Gong Yang Mo can officially advance to the soul emperor, then the overall strength of our team will be improved by another level. What follows? I will also be more confident when facing the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy."

Gong Yangmo's charming peach blossom eyes suddenly lit up. No soul master can resist the temptation to advance.

Moreover, Wang Yan had said before that all the expenses this time would be borne by Shrek Academy. In other words, he didn't need to pay anything to get a sixth soul ring that suited him.

Of course, this in itself is also an investment made by Shrek Academy in the inner court disciples.

Looking at the people with excited expressions on their faces, Wang Yan smiled and scolded: "Okay, everyone, let's go back and change clothes first, and we will meet again later. But I want to explain one thing in advance. Look less and talk less, avoid all trouble. Don't affect tomorrow's crucial game."
