The Peerless Tang Sect’s Sun and Moon Glory

With the size of this evergreen jade bird, although the space on the back is not particularly wide, it is definitely more than enough to accommodate fifteen people. Even when everyone sits cross-legged to meditate and practice, there can be a certain distance between each other.

With the changes of the times, although humans have domesticated some spirit beasts, this flying spirit beast does not belong to them. After all, flying spirit beasts can fly and are usually stronger than ordinary spirit beasts. The process of domestication is not only troublesome, but also very costly.

Another thing is that if a soul master wants to fly, he now has a more convenient flying soul guide.

If this were not the case, various countries on the continent would have already established special cavalry with flying soul beasts as mounts to attack directly from the air.

The novel and exciting experience of riding a flying soul beast made many people in the Shrek team very excited. Only Wang Qiuer, Dai Huabin and Wu Feng still had cold faces. In addition, Nanmen Yun'er, whose own martial spirit has the ability to fly, also behaved relatively calmly. But compared to Wang Qiuer and the other three, she is much more approachable due to her gentle and easy-going personality. Occasionally, I chatted quietly with Xiao Xiao, sisters Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, and at the same time felt the details of the jade bird's control over the soul power and wind elements when using soul skills.

The main attribute of the Jade Bird is the wind attribute, and it also controls a certain amount of space power. If she can gain some insights from it, it will be of great benefit to her improvement in strength.

On the other side, Xu Zihuang protected Ning Tian and turned around to face Zhang Lexuan and Ye Guyi.

Ning Tian had been so intimate with Yu Tianhuang in front of everyone before, and Ning Tian had a charming blush on her pretty face. Noticing Ye Guyi's teasing gaze, she lowered her head and hurried forward, holding Ye Guyi's jade arm.

"Sister Gu Yi..."

"You look more beautiful today than before. No wonder Tianhuang likes you so much."

Ye Guyi caressed Ning Tian's cheek affectionately, with a smile on his face, and seemed to fully recognize Ning Tian in his words and deeds.

But the corners of Xu Zihuang's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

The more Ye Guyi praises Ning Tian, ​​the more outrageous and bold he does when Ning Tian is behind his back. If his mental perception hadn't been sharp enough, he might even have been exposed on the spot several times.

Some time ago, Zhang Lexuan and Ye Guyi began to test the running-in situation of the Shrek team together. Zhou Sichen, Cao Jinxuan, Lan Susu, and Lan Luoluo, these four students from the outer academy who have not yet been admitted to the inner academy, also know Ye Guyi's apparent identity in Shrek Academy.

It shocked them greatly at the time.

And Ye Guyi occasionally served as a sparring partner, and the terrifying strength and soul ring ratio he displayed made them couldn't help but sigh at the astonishing talents of these 'siblings'.

Only Wang Qiuer, who had seen Xu Zihuang's past memories, vaguely guessed Ye Guyi's true identity. Because once when she was fighting with Ye Guyi, she accidentally caught a glimpse of the golden angel pattern on Ye Guyi's chest.

Although she only saw a very small part, Xu Zihuang's memory of this part was too profound, and so did she.

Soul masters have always spoken with their strength, so Ye Guyi's identity as the deputy leader quickly gained everyone's recognition.

Everyone was aware that they did not approach the area where Yu Tianhuang, Ning Tian, ​​Zhang Lexuan and Ye Guyi were.

Xu Zihuang gestured to Zhang Lexuan: "Sister, with the speed of this jade bird, it doesn't take half a day to reach Mingdu."

"In this case, it really saves a lot of effort." Zhang Lexuan asked softly with a gentle smile.

"Tianhuang, how does summoning this jade bird consume your soul power?"

"I summoned this jade bird, which is essentially a rubbing of Sichen's soul skills. Summoning it will not consume additional soul power. Of course, this jade bird still needs my soul power to fly and use soul skills. However, For me, there is no burden. The speed at which soul power is consumed is actually not as fast as the speed at which soul power can be restored on its own."

Zhang Lexuan nodded, not doubting that he was there. She knew that Yu Tianhuang had condensed his soul core very early, and it was completely reasonable to have such a background.

Yu Tianhuang serves as the captain of the Shrek team. She believes that no matter what changes occur in this continental youth soul master competition, Shrek Academy's undefeated myth will continue.

Because in her opinion, no matter how outstanding those young soul masters under the age of twenty are, they are not even half as good as Yu Tianhuang. This is a gap in levels, as insurmountable as a natural chasm.

But Zhang Lexuan did not relax because of this.

Before setting off, Mr. Xuan had specifically told her something. During this continent-wide youth soul master competition, some special changes are likely to occur. As the team leader, her duty is to bring everyone back from Shrek Academy safely, and she must remain vigilant at all times.

Xu Zihuang greeted Zhang Lexuan, Ye Guyi, and Ning Tian, ​​and then came to the head of the Jade Bird again, observing the surrounding situation. The rest of the Shrek team followed Zhang Lexuan's command and sat down cross-legged to rest.

Ye Guyi and Ning Tian were close to each other. Listening to Ye Guyi's teasing, Ning Tian looked shy almost the whole time. From time to time, his and Ye Guyi's eyes would fall on Xu Zihuang in front.

Wu Feng, who saw all these things, felt as if his heart was in angina. But she was powerless to change anything.

…

The banner of the new continent-wide youth soul master competition is return. Because this competition, which has tens of thousands of years of history, originally allowed sects to participate. It was not until the past millennium that the scale was reduced and only colleges were allowed to participate.

This time, after the proposal of the organizer, the Sun and Moon Empire, the remaining three countries agreed, and finally unanimously decided to restore their previous qualifications. Sects were added to the competition, and the competition system was also changed.

As a result, the scale of this continent-wide young soul master competition has become unprecedentedly grand.

Even if a genius soul master wants to become a top powerhouse at the Title Douluo level, he will definitely need a lot of resources to support him. This is destined to be a strong power of the sect.

On the mainland, the number of sects is far greater than that of various soul masters or soul master academies.

For major colleges, achieving good results in the continent-wide youth soul master competition is a great opportunity for their college to become famous, and it is of great benefit to the development and enrollment of the college. And this is also true for the sect.

Different from the academy, the sect has a stronger binding force, but its investment in the disciples in the sect will be more unreserved. The more highly skilled a person is, the more likely he is to join a powerful sect.

After the new competition system changes, almost more than 60% of the sects on the mainland have chosen to sign up.

If it hadn't been decided by the final competition organizing committee, in addition to the age limit of twenty, it also restricted the sect's registered contestants to have at least five people with cultivation levels above the fourth ring. I'm afraid the participating teams in this competition would be the same as the previous one. ten times as much

However, even with such restrictions, the final number of participating teams was fixed at 167, which was more than 30 teams more than the previous competition. And precisely because of such restrictions, the overall strength of the teams participating in this competition is far superior to the previous one. Competition will undoubtedly become more intense.

In order to host such a competition, the Sun and Moon Empire began preparations three months ago. Expand a large number of hotels and add guest rooms in order to receive more guests during the competition, especially merchants from all over the world, in order to earn more profits.

As the richest country on the continent, the Sun and Moon Empire has designated prizes for this competition that are also extremely generous.

The reward for the champion is a level 9 soul guide, the runner-up is level 8, and the third runner-up is level 7. The price of these three soul tools is much higher than the value of soul bones. In particular, the ninth-level soul guide that the championship team can obtain is basically a priceless treasure for the participating teams that originally belonged to the Douluo Three Kingdoms.

It is not only a market value, but also has profound strategic significance. If a ninth-level soul guidance device could be analyzed, no matter what the ninth-level soul guidance device was, it would be able to significantly narrow the gap with the Sun and Moon Empire's soul guidance technology.

This was also the main reason why Xian Liner and Qian Duoduo cherished the design drawings of the ninth-level custom-made soul cannon brought back by Xu Zihuang.

But this is purely an ideal idea. The gap in soul guidance technology between the Sun and Moon Empire and the three original empires of Douluo Continent cannot be narrowed by simply using this method.

Mingdu, the Imperial Palace of the Sun and Moon Empire, the back garden.

The wheelchair is parked on the wide and neat bluestone path in the back garden. Plants of various shapes and forms are scattered neatly throughout the garden. Every design is unique. There are small waterfalls in the rockery, the royal patterns of the Sun and Moon Empire, golden sun, silver and moon patterns, and the tall trees. It seems to give people the illusion of being in a quiet forest.

Xu Tianran was sitting in a wheelchair with his eyes closed and a thin blanket covering his legs. His whole person exuded a faint sense of leisure. This leisurely style blends perfectly into the tranquility of the back garden.

A series of steady and crisp footsteps sounded from behind. Xu Tianran, still closing his eyes, asked lightly: "How is it?"

The visitor is none other than Orange. Today, Orange is wearing a goose-yellow gown. The fluffy skirt rises slightly with her brisk movements, and the exquisite patterns engraved on it also ripple.

Her black hair was tied up high, setting off her supple white skin, and her beautiful eyes were shining brightly. At this time, she was as noble and elegant as a real royal princess.

"Since His Majesty ordered the Third Prince to hand over military power, our people have successfully taken control of the Mingdu Garrison. The military has been very calm and has not made any changes. Currently, two-fifths of the empire's troops are here Among the other three-fifths under our control, two-fifths are only troops loyal to the emperor. Once you ascend the throne, I believe they will come over immediately. As for the remaining one-fifth, most of them are Generals with real power at the border cannot affect the overall situation."

Xu Tianran slowly opened his eyes, with a smile on his lips.

"Although my father is terminally ill, he is not confused. Do you hope that this will allow me to spare the life of my third brother?"

From the beginning to the end, he did not have any emotional fluctuations because of Orange's words.

Because of the previous battle for the heir, it seemed that he and the third prince were competing on separate sides, but in fact he had already secured the victory. With the entire Holy Spirit Religion as its backing, some of the military background behind the third prince could not make any waves at all. It was entirely considering that his next great undertaking would require the full support of the military that he took this relatively peaceful approach.

The old emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire saw through this and knew that his time was running out, so he finally had to make such a decision.

Now Xu Tianran has been canonized as the prince, supervising the country on his behalf, and is fully responsible for the imperial government affairs.

Xu Tianran smiled and continued to ask: "Are the preparations for the competition almost complete?"

Looking at Xu Tianran's breathtaking smile, Orange's body trembled with shivers.

"Preparations are in place and everything is proceeding as planned."

Xu Tianran chuckled and said: "I remember that in the last competition, the talented grandson of the Hongchen Hall Master was defeated by a talented soul master named Yu Tianhuang from Shrek Academy. If the information is correct, If so, the people representing Shrek Academy in this competition should still be the ones who won the championship in the previous session. I am really looking forward to what wonderful sparks will bloom when our people and the people from Shrek Academy meet in the competition. "

Hearing Xu Tianran mention Yu Tianhuang, Orange's heart instinctively 'thumped'. Pushing Xu Tianran's wheelchair from behind, a hint of coldness appeared in the depths of her eyes.

She knew that she was just a tool to Xu Tianran, but she was not using Xu Tianran. Everything she did was for the person in her heart.

Xu Tianran, who was completely unaware of this, seemed to have thought of something and closed his eyes again.

"By the way, go and invite Mr. Zhongli over and tell him that I have something important to discuss with him."

"Yes." Orange responded respectfully and hurried away.

The sound of Orange's footsteps gradually became fainter in my ears. Xu Tianran always looked like he was resting with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep. In this back garden filled with birds and flowers, you can blend in with nature.

Fifty kilometers away from Mingdu, the Jade Bird hovered here under the control of Xu Zihuang.

Mingdu has a complete urban soul guidance defense system. If you enter Mingdu from the air, you will instantly become the target of various long-range soul guidance devices.

Everyone had to fall down one after another and walk instead.

Another sharp bird call sounded, and the jade bird turned into dots of light and dissipated in the air.

Although Xu Zihuang's fourth soul skill can imprint Zhou Sixen's martial soul ability, it also has limitations, that is, it can only be used once.

Zhang Lexuan said to everyone: "Go and register first, and then rest. Tianhuang, you have been studying at the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy for a period of time. You should be familiar with the city of Mingdu, right?"

"Yes." Xu Zihuang nodded and led everyone into Mingdu.

"Everyone, come with me."

Compared with Xingluo City, which was overcrowded at the beginning, due to the proximity of the competition, although the number of people on the streets of Mingdu has increased significantly, it does not feel crowded. This is the advantage of a large enough city.

The registration place is called Mingyue Hotel.

This is a large hotel with a height of eight floors, located in the center of Mingdu. This silver-white building can be seen from a distance. Each floor is very high, so even if there are only eight floors, it is still one of the few extremely tall landmark buildings in Mingdu.

As soon as you enter the hotel lobby, a metallic texture hits your face. The interior decoration of the hotel is all the same as the outside, in silver white. The various streamlined designs make it look like a beautifully cast soul guide, making people want to touch it.

At this time, many people had gathered in this hall that was thousands of square meters wide. As soon as Xu Zihuang and the others came in, they were immediately greeted by a girl in a silver dress.

Zhang Lexuan directly stated her identity.

"Dear guests, are you from Shrek Academy?" The girl's eyes widened in shock, and then she immediately came back to her senses and made a gesture of invitation.

"Shrek Academy, as the champion of the last competition, as a courtesy, we have set up an exclusive channel for all distinguished guests. Distinguished guests, please come with me."

As she spoke, she gestured to the other welcoming girls. Soon a dozen people gathered, standing neatly in two rows to lead the way. Suddenly became the focus of the entire hall. The rest of the participating team members looked at the Shrek representative team with awe in their eyes.

After all, Shrek Academy's name on the mainland is too loud.

The two guys, Zhou Sichen and Cao Jinxuan, looked at each other, feeling a little dazed for a moment. When I walked, I held my head high and my feet were filled with wind.

At this moment, Xu Zihuang, Ye Guyi, and Zhang Lexuan who were walking in front stopped at the same time and looked back.

Another team entered the hall. However, the attire of these people is indeed a bit different and conspicuous. They are all dressed in black and have a cold temperament.

Especially the old man in black walking at the front. The old man has two eyebrows, one high and one low, which are very distinctive, and his figure is relatively thin.

The eyes of Xu Zihuang and the three people met for a moment, and then they took steps again in tacit agreement.

"They are all evil soul masters." Ye Guyi's face slightly condensed, and he reminded the two of them through soul power transmission: "The old man in the lead probably has a Titled Douluo level of cultivation."

Possessing the Holy Angel Martial Spirit, she is unusually sensitive to the cultivation and abilities of evil soul masters.

"A titled Douluo-level evil soul master?" Zhang Lexuan's beautiful eyes were full of solemnity. Combining the instructions given to her by the three evil soul master brothers Zhongli and Elder Xuan she met earlier, she believed that Ye Guyi's judgment was probably accurate.

Xu Zihuang vaguely guessed the identity of this old man.

Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng.

Other members of the Shrek team also noticed the unusual behavior of Xu Zihuang and the others, but when they subconsciously followed their gazes, they happened to be led into the exclusive VIP room by the welcoming girl.

Here they need to fill in some forms. The detailed information of each of the regular players and substitutes must be filled in. Afterwards, the appearance will be recorded using a soul guide camera, which will then be printed directly on the form.

Finally, a physical examination is required. This is mainly to ensure that the participating students are indeed under the age of twenty.

The staff worked neatly, and a series of operations only took less than a quarter of an hour. Shrek Academy has the title of the previous champion, which is indeed very convenient. And I stayed in the best suite on the top floor of Mingyue Hotel.

After Zhang Lexuan assigned rooms to everyone, she immediately called Ye Guyi and Xu Zihuang to her room to discuss the matter.
