Chapter 436: Eve of the Competition (Please Subscribe)_1

The two left the Sea God's Pavilion, and Qian Yu soon said, "Congratulations on becoming a member of the Sea God's Pavilion. I didn't expect you to be willing to share the secrets of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Device Academy."

Xuan Ziwen smiled, "Those can hardly be considered secrets, right? I've been researching them all along, and bringing them up now is only for the sake of deeper development."

Qian Yu glanced at him, "Then I'll be leaving first..."

Now that Xuan Ziwen had joined Shrek Academy, there was nothing left for him to do...

However, the former spoke with a solemn expression, "Wait, Qian Yu, Juzi has already entered the imperial palace, and it is said that Xu Tianran has given her the position of Fleet Admiral..."

"I'm afraid it won't be long before Xu Tianran makes Juzi his Imperial Concubine. By then, will you really not mind?"

Qian Yu said indifferently, "Xuan Ziwen, that's none of your business, is it?"

Could he possibly tell Xuan Ziwen that he was actually in secret control of the entire Sun-Moon Empire?

Wouldn't that be the same as telling everyone that he was preparing to have the Sun-Moon Empire destroy the other nations!

Xuan Ziwen was stunned, then sighed helplessly, "Alright, alright, I'm overthinking things."

A few days before the competition, all of the Shrek Academy Inner Court students participating in the Continental Young Soul Master Elite Competition gathered together...

Bei Bei spoke seriously, "This time, the Continental Young Elite Soul Master Competition is using a point system, divided into individual knockout rounds and team matches, with the former gaining more weight than the latter!"

"However, this is exactly what we can use to our advantage. As long as we control the points well, even if our two teams meet, conceding will not have any impact."

Xu Sanshi said proudly, "In terms of individual matches, our side has an absolute overwhelming advantage. Sister Xiao Tao and Tang Ya have both reached the Soul Douluo, while the ones on our side who seem to have the lowest soul power rank, Yuhao and Wang Dong, are also exceptionally strong in individual combat!"

Dai Yaoheng gave him a look, "Don't underestimate anyone. We held that belief too, and the victory we achieved was still very difficult."

Ling Luochang nodded, "That's right. Because the participating Soul Masters are so diverse, even if the opponent has a low soul power rank, we must be fully prepared!"

Bei Bei said gravely, "But... what's most important is that this time, in addition to the troublesome Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Device Academy, there are members of the Holy Spirit Cult!"

It was the Holy Spirit Cult's evil Soul Master who had captured Xiao Ya last time. If they encountered them in the competition, they definitely wanted to capture them all in one fell swoop!

At those words, Wu Feng's brows furrowed deeply, "What? Are those in charge of the competition all so negligent?"

Ma Xiaotao shook her head helplessly, "No... because even they can't discern which sect the Holy Spirit Cult members have infiltrated. If we want to know, we'll have to observe and find out after the matches start!"

Suddenly, a figure appeared, "Yo, little guys, you're all here! The rules for this year's Continental Young Soul Master Elite Competition are already..."

It was none other than Elder Xuan, who had just handled affairs at the Sea God's Pavilion!

Bei Bei respectfully said, "Elder Xuan, I have already informed everyone about it."

The other inner court students all nodded...

Elder Xuan was slightly startled, not the least bit embarrassed as he said, "Is that so? Then you all should be very clear that this competition is more about testing individual strength, with the team matches being just for show!"

"And the most notable change from before is that there are no restrictions on the users of soul tools, meaning that even non-Soul Masters can freely use soul tools in this competition! This is not good news for our academy."

Dai Yaoheng inquired, "Elder Xuan, I understand what you mean. But doesn't our academy indeed lack high-level soul tools?"

They couldn't just carelessly use Level Six or Seven Soul Guidance Devices like those from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Device Academy...

Otherwise, how could their path to winning the championship have been so difficult?

Elder Xuan suddenly revealed a mysterious smile, "This calls for a proper introduction!"

Hearing Elder Xuan's words, everyone present was befogged, except for the silent Qian Yu...

Who had probably guessed that Xuan Ziwen would make a dashing entry, and then incite gasps of amazement among everyone...

And sure enough, the figure of Xuan Ziwen suddenly appeared, smiling at all the students, "Inner Court students, hello, I am the new teacher joining Shrek Academy, Xuan Ziwen, a Titled Douluo and a ninth-rank soul-guidance master!"

Xu Sanshi rubbed his eyes, "Ni... ninth-rank soul-guidance master, did I hear that right?? Even higher than Dean Fan's level!"

Ling Luoshang exclaimed in surprise, "Our academy actually got a ninth-rank soul-guidance master, how did that happen!"

Huo Yuhao's eyes shone with a sharp light, speaking out, "Teacher Xuan, weren't you with the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy? How did you come to join Shrek Academy?"

He knew a bit about this Xuan Ziwen; he was deeply dedicated to the research of soul tools, and his coming to Shrek Academy truly defied common sense.

Xuan Ziwen looked at Huo Yuhao, with a touch of emotion, "That's right, you are... Huo Yuhao, right? Yesterday, Elder Xuan told me about you, otherwise I would have thought you really perished in the Aquipeia Forest!"

He was also quite astonished at how Huo Yuhao had managed to escape from Bi Ji's clutches...

Huo Yuhao appeared a bit dazed as he scratched his hair, "Hehe, just got lucky is all, that ferocious beast didn't kill me, and when I woke up, I found myself on the outskirts of the Aquipeia Forest!"

Xuan Zi stroked his beard, "With Teacher Xuan here, you all needn't worry too much about soul tools."

Xuan Ziwen nodded, "Since Elder Xuan has said so, consider these soul tools my gift to you all upon our meeting."

With that said, Xuan Ziwen took out one after another level 5 and level 6 soul tools from his storage soul tool, and there were even level 7 ones!

He took out no less than fourteen soul tools with various uses including attack and defense!

It was almost all the soul tools he had under level 8...

Xu Sanshi rubbed his hands together with glittering eyes, "Teacher Xuan is so generous! Now I'm even more confident about winning the championship!"

All eyes immediately turned towards Xu Sanshi...

Bei Bei coughed once to the side, "Sanshi, pay attention to your image!"

Once the other Inner Court students snapped out of it, they all expressed their gratitude, "Thank you, Teacher Xuan!"

Xuan Ziwen smiled, "Don't be shy everyone, there are exactly fourteen pieces here, marked with their types. Each of you take one that suits you."

With Teacher Xuan saying so, the other students didn't stand on ceremony and began selecting soul tools, of course, Qian Yu, Huo Yuhao, and He Caitou also symbolically took one...

Otherwise, it would have been awkward for Teacher Xuan...

Seeing everyone had picked one, Xuan Ziwen then spoke out to encourage them, "I hope these soul tools will be of help to you, and once again bring the championship to Shrek Academy"

Then, his eyes glanced towards Xuan Zi, signaling, "Well then, Elder Xuan, I shall take my leave!"

He still had unfinished soul tool research to complete...

Elder Xuan's murky eyes shone with a clear light, "Mhm!"

This Xuan Ziwen, his obsession with soul tools was a bit beyond his own expectations...

Now all they could do was wait for the competition to arrive...
