Douluo Jueshi: Who let him join Shrek!

Chapter 604: Petty!

A new day came, Jiang Ming and Zhang Lexuan yawned as they walked down from the top floor of the hotel with the Shrek team.

When going downstairs, I happened to run into Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Xingluo Empire and Princess Vina of the Tianhun Empire.

When Princess Jiujiu saw Jiang Ming and the others, she greeted them with a smile, but there was a hint of weirdness in her eyes.

You know, after a soul master's cultivation breaks through the Titled Douluo, his physical strength will be greatly increased.

In this case, how intense must the night be for these two to come out yawning early in the morning?

Tsk tsk tsk, that's hard to imagine.

Jiang Ming didn't care about Princess Jiujiu's strange look.

Because when he and Zhang Lexuan went out, they were looked at in this way by other members of the Shrek team.

"Good morning. Together?"

Jiang Ming said politely.

Princess Jiujiu and Princess Vina were not polite at all and nodded directly.

As a result, the team of nearly thirty people that originally formed when the Shrek team and the Tangmen team walked together expanded again to more than fifty people!

A group of people walked out of the hotel in a crowd, attracting everyone's attention.

"You have a match at Shrek Academy today. Are you confident?"

Princess Jiujiu looked at Jiang Ming and asked softly.

In fact, this is nonsense. With the strength of Shrek Academy, it will basically be a crushing defeat unless it encounters those extremely powerful academies or sects.

"Well, it's no use asking me. Qiu'er, how about it, are you confident?"

Jiang Ming turned his head to look at Wang Qiuer behind him and asked softly.

Wang Qiu'er still looked aloof, with a hint of golden light in her eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Yes."

He spoke simply, but his tone was full of confidence.

In fact, with Wang Qiuer's current strength, together with the other members of the Shrek team, even if their strength is not as good as that of the Tang Sect, they are definitely a strong team!
Jiang Ming smiled and said, "Look, I have confidence."

Princess Jiujiu glanced at Wang Qiuer and nodded: "Shrek Academy is still Shrek Academy, it's quite powerful!"

After the previous few games, she could naturally see that the overall strength of the contestants from the Tang Sect was higher than that of the Shrek Team.

But even though the Shrek team is only a second team, its strength is extremely strong.

Princess Vina didn't say anything. In fact, the connection between the Tianhun Empire and Shrek Academy was already one step closer than that between the Xingluo Empire.

The Body Sect and Shrek Academy have established friendly relations, and now the Body Sect has become the guardian sect of the Tianhun Empire.

Although Shrek Academy has always been committed to not favoring any empire, this relationship does give it some advantages.

A few people chatted and laughed as they arrived at the competition venue.

The audience today did not seem to be in a very high spirits, perhaps because they witnessed the defeat of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy yesterday. As citizens of the Sun Moon Empire, it was normal for them to be in a low mood.

In fact, not only the people, but even the Crown Prince Xu Tianran and Mingde Hall Master Jing Hongchen who were sitting on the rostrum, looked unhappy.

Obviously, what happened yesterday really affected their mood.

Moreover, the theft case in Mingdu these days could not be concealed and the news reached Xu Tianran.

Those corrupt officials did not dare to report the theft, but the nobles were heartbroken and contacted the officials of Mingdu on the day of the theft, hoping to recover the stolen precious treasures and rare metals.

Because of its huge value, the Mingdu government also attaches great importance to it.

And because the thefts of these nobles occurred at the same time as those of the corrupt officials, those officials who suffered thefts also put direct pressure on those who were investigating.

They had risked their lives to enrich themselves from the interests of the empire and accumulated such a fortune, but they never expected that it would be all gone in one day. The psychological gap was huge.

Xu Tianran was actually aware of the corruption among officials in various departments of Mingdu and even in the entire Sun and Moon Empire.

In theory, the empire's corrupt officials should be completely eliminated.

However, the interests involved here would be extremely difficult even if Xu Tianran wanted to move.

A corrupt person cannot be the only one who is corrupt.

Those who are greedy alone will be envied and hated by others, and their success will not last long.

The greedy people are intertwined in interests and protect each other. Maybe it won't last long, but it will be very troublesome if you want to move against them.

And trouble usually makes people afraid.

"Who do you think is responsible for these thefts in Mingdu, Master Hongchen?"

Xu Tianran put his hands on both sides of the wheelchair and asked softly.

Jing Hongchen frowned. It was difficult to answer this question.

After thinking for a while, Jing Hongchen replied: "There were thefts in Mingdu before. Judging from the traces, it might be the same. However, after the treasury of these nobles was looted, they used fixed-type soul guide shells to directly blow up the treasury. This seems like they were deliberately covering up the traces."

Xu Tianran nodded and said, "Yes, blow up the place and cover up all traces. Who could this thief be?"

He spoke quietly, but his eyes fell on Jiang Ming who was sitting in the viewing tent.

His intuition told him that Jiang Ming was involved in this matter.

As if sensing Xu Tianran's gaze, Jiang Ming raised his head slightly, met Xu Tianran's eyes, and smiled slightly.

Afterwards, he ignored Xu Tianran and started watching the game of Shrek Team on the stage.

Seeing this, Xu Tianran's eyes gradually turned cold.

Regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with Jiang Ming, Jiang Ming must die!

Must die!
Xu Tianran suddenly gripped the armrest of the wheelchair, leaving a deep mark on it.

On the competition stage, the Shrek team has already won a game against the opponent.

They were facing a powerful sect. In fact, in this competition, the sect's overall strength was stronger than that of the academy.

After all, the sect has targeted training and inheritance. Although the academy also has strong teacher resources, it is indeed lacking in targeting.

Moreover, in terms of training, because the sect is a lifelong system, they are very willing to allocate resources. After all, they will be the pillars of the family in the future.

But as for the academy, students have to leave the academy after graduation, so they can't overly tilt resources. This also leads to the fact that the overall strength of the academy is indeed a level lower than that of the sect.

But it depends on the situation.

For example, the team that the Shrek team is facing now is a lineup of all Soul Kings. If it were in the last competition, they would probably have been qualified to compete for the top four.

But now, having met the Shrek team, they can only stop in the round-robin tournament.

The first to go on the field was Dai Huabin. With his Soul King cultivation of the same level, he managed to defeat the other two Soul Kings!
In the subsequent matches, Wu Feng and Xie Huan Yue each won one game.

It is worth mentioning that their tactics were relatively good. Dai Huabin fought two games and consumed a lot of his soul power. Xie Huanyue and Wu Feng who came after him simply delayed time to give Dai Huabin a chance to recover his soul power.

With their lineup, it is easy for them to win in team battles with the powerful assistance of Ning Tian, ​​a member of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

Soon, the individual battle of the Shrek team ended and the team battle officially began.

Following the order from the referee Bupo Douluo, Wang Qiuer, Dai Huabin and Wu Feng, three main offensive spirit masters, rushed out directly.

Xie Huanyue, Zhou Sichen, Cao Jinxuan and the other three surrounded Ning Tian to control and defend him.

"The seven treasures are famous. The first is power! The second is speed! The third is soul!"

Ning Tian immediately gave his teammates a powerful boost. In an instant, the three strong attacking soul masters at the front directly possessed the strength of Soul Saints and Soul Emperors!
Coupled with Cao Jinxuan's perfect time control skills, the opponent's formation was broken in an instant.

After breaking through the formation, there was nothing more to say. Wang Qiuer, holding a golden spear, swept across and suppressed the three soul kings of the opponent by herself!

And this suppression did not last long. Under Wang Qiuer's powerful attack, the three Soul Kings were swept away by spears and lost their combat effectiveness.

The fight between Dai Huabin and Wu Feng was a bit difficult, one against two, and it took quite a long time, but they still managed to defeat their opponents smoothly.

"Well, not bad."

In the viewing tent, Jiang Ming looked at the performance of the Shrek team and nodded slightly.

The current Shrek team is trying to win the game while preserving its strength as much as possible.

Being able to achieve this level is enough.

After the Shrek team's game ended, Jiang Ming and his group did not leave, but continued to watch the Xingluo Royal Academy's game.

The strength of Xingluo Royal Academy has even declined compared to the previous competition. After all, the last competition was led by Princess Jiujiu.

However, judging from their performance on the competition stage, Xingluo Royal Academy should have no problem striving for the top eight.

As for the team that Vina is in
The Snow Demon Sect may seem like an inconspicuous small sect, but it has managed to survive until now in such a fierce competition.

The reason is that all the members of the Snow Demon Sect team are from the Body Sect.

Even the young master of the Body Sect, Long Aotian, did not appear on the court, but the Snow Demon Sect team had already entered the round-robin tournament, which was enough to show how powerful the Body Sect was.

However, as time goes by, the opponents encountered in the competition become stronger and stronger, and the fact that the Snow Demon Sect is the Body Sect will soon be exposed.

After all, the body martial spirit of the Body Sect is still easy to identify.

Both Xingluo Royal Academy and Snow Demon Sect won the game smoothly, and it was not too difficult for them.

A day passed, and the second day of the first round of the round-robin tournament was over. It was getting dark, and people had returned to Mingdu City. Most of them did not choose to rest, and all the restaurants, hotels, and bars were packed.

People's topic not only focused on the Continental Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition, but also discussed another competition that they could participate in and even gain benefits from - the Mingdu Soul Instructor Elite Competition.

After the qualifying round and the first round of the main competition, the three major competition areas of the Mingdu Soul Mentor Elite Competition have already produced the lists that will enter the second round.

Starting from the second round, the betting methods became more diverse.

The soul engineer competition is different from that of the soul master. There is not such fierce confrontation. Everyone makes soul guides in a fair environment, but there is greater uncertainty.

Because this was a black market competition, most of the soul masters who came to participate cherished their reputations and usually participated anonymously. Each of them only had a number that belonged to him. The public could only see their performance in the previous competitions from the materials distributed by the three major underground forces.

Tonight, the second round of the Mingdu Soul Mentor Elite Competition is about to begin. One of the most attractive bets for the public is how long it will take the first person to finish the competition.

There is a range for this - the shortest is half an hour, then half an hour to an hour, an hour to a half an hour, and so on. It is not that the longer the time, the lower the odds, but the middle level of time has the lowest odds, and the odds at both ends are much higher.

For example, if you bet that the first person to finish the race takes less than half an hour, the odds are as high as five times, while if it takes half an hour to one hour, the odds are only three times. The lowest is between two and a half hours and three and a half hours, with odds of only 1 to 1.2.

There is more introduction to the second round of competition. The competition will last for five hours, starting tonight and ending early tomorrow morning.

Within five hours, all participating soul guides from the three major forces will make a level 4 or higher attack soul guide that they are satisfied with. If they make a level 5 soul guide, they will be promoted directly without the need for power testing.

The soul masters who have made fourth-level soul guides have one more soul guide competition than the previous round.

Each soul engineer will take his soul guide and fire it in a special test firing area, and data will be recorded for each launch. The five people with the least powerful soul guides will be eliminated. Also eliminated will be soul engineers who cannot complete the production of a level 4 soul guide within the specified time.

The elimination rate in this round of competition was not too high, but it had already begun to become cruel. No one could be sure that the power of the soul guide they made was stronger than that of the same level soul guide made by others.

In this case, they can only make the most powerful soul guides as possible. The pressure of the competition will make it more likely for soul guides to show their true strength.

There are many other ways to gamble, and the three major underground forces are very experienced in understanding human nature, and can almost guarantee that every gambler can find the gambling method they want.

Inside the Aodu Hotel, Mingjiang transformed himself into contestant A Shuai and arrived quietly.

In the VIP area, Ah Shuai didn't care about the information about the opponent's soul mentor's previous competitions.

He looked at Kano standing beside him and asked with interest, "I heard there are many ways to bet on today's game?"

Kano nodded and replied in a deep voice: "Yes, this time."

Ah Shuai waved his hand and said, "Which one has the highest odds?"

Kano said: "I bet that the first person to finish the race will take less than half an hour, and the odds are as high as five times."

Hearing this, Acai's eyes lit up under the mask.

"How many gold soul coins do I have now that I left with you?"

Before, he had just left the card here and let them handle it. At least for Mingjiang's sake, he could make some money.

Kano responded: "The total amount of gold soul coins in your card now, including the gold soul coins you originally had, is 12,567,000."

When Acai heard this number, he was a little dissatisfied.

"That's all you can earn? Well, if you help me place a bet with five times the odds, I'll make a fortune."

Kano's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Then let's bet one million gold soul coins?"

Ah Shuai rolled his eyes and said, "You are so petty! One million is too slow to make money! Five times is only five million, just bet it all! I want to make a big profit!"
