"Mm? Huo Yuhao, where are you going?"
Su Yunlin watched Huo Yuhao walk toward another room.
"To discuss business. Our Tang Sect is pretty short on money right now, so I'm planning to go slaughter a sucker." Huo Yuhao smiled in a very wretched manner.
"Oh~ Go on, then. Just don't expose our secrets."
"I know, I know."
Su Yunlin looked at Huo Yuhao as he left and revealed a faint smile.
"Yunlin, what are you smiling at?"
"I'm laughing at Huo Yuhao, that shady and black-hearted fellow. Someone is about to be unlucky," Su Yunlin said with a faint smile.
"Why do you say that? Although Huo Yuhao really is a black-bellied guy. My Brother Yunlin is still the best~"
Su Yunlin pinched Tang Wutong's pretty face. "Why are you praising me again? You're about to praise me until I float away."
"Hehe."
...
Very soon, the tournament began. The Sun Moon Empire's officials decided to let Shrek Academy's team directly enter the next round. In other words, Shrek Academy had a bye in the first round.
This was the unique preferential treatment only Shrek Academy received. Of course, it was also because Shrek Academy had won again in the previous tournament.
As for Tang Sect, where the current Shrek Seven Monsters were, they were only worthy of being assigned to the bench seats, and especially remote bench seats at that.
"They're looking down on us too much! I'm so angry!" Xiao Xiao said indignantly.
Su Yunlin smiled faintly. "Don't be anxious. We're the dark horse. The ones who should be worried are those blind fellows. Right, as for battle armor, hide it when you feel it's necessary.
"But when fighting Evil Spirit Masters, don't hold back. Use your full strength. Make sure to get rid of those filthy things."
"Mm."
The Shrek Seven Monsters nodded. Naturally, they knew that Evil Spirit Masters were public enemies. Since they had encountered them, they had to exterminate them!
"Hm? Aside from Dai Huabin, there's actually another aura similar to his. Looks like another Spirit Sage."
Su Yunlin looked in the direction of the Holy Spirit Cult. The one leading the Holy Spirit Cult team was none other than Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng.
"What! Could it be a Spirit Sage?"
Su Yunlin nodded. "It should be a Spirit Sage, and likely not simple. After you encounter them, go all out and kill them directly. Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother have the ability to deal with them.
"Third Senior Sister and Xiao Xiao just need to pay attention to your own safety."
"Mm."
Xiao Xiao pouted. "Why don't you call me Fourth Senior Sister?"
"Do you like taking advantage of me that much?"
"Bleh, bleh, bleh~"
While the few of them were chatting, Regent Crown Prince Xu Tianran and Regent Crown Princess Juzi appeared.
"Silence."
A deep voice made the entire venue quiet down.
Huo Yuhao looked toward that figure. "Dragon Emperor Douluo, Long Xiaoyao."
Su Yunlin also looked at that person. It was a tall old man with silver hair combed meticulously. His face was rosy like an infant's, and his long eyebrows hung down both sides of his face. His hands were clasped behind his back. He stood quietly beside Xu Tianran, without releasing the slightest fluctuation of Spirit Power.
"Hiss, impressive! As expected of Dragon Emperor Douluo, someone whose name stands alongside Teacher's. This darkness aura has probably reached the ultimate level!"
Su Yunlin also looked toward Long Xiaoyao. At this moment, Long Xiaoyao also looked over.
"Mm? What a powerful aura. Could this person be Brother Mu's distinguished disciple? Such dense darkness aura has already approached the ultimate level. Speaking of which, he would be even more suited to becoming this old man's disciple."
Long Xiaoyao chuckled softly. His voice could not be heard by anyone else, only himself.
Xu Tianran looked over and smiled. "Senior Long, why are you laughing?"
"Nothing. I just thought of something happy," Long Xiaoyao said, shaking his head.
Tang Sect's camp.
Su Yunlin was already kneeling on one knee, panting heavily. "Hah! Hah! As expected of a Limit Douluo. Terrifying indeed."
"What Limit Douluo?!"
Everyone from Tang Sect was shocked, so Huo Yuhao told them about Long Xiaoyao.
When they heard that he was an existence whose name stood alongside Elder Mu's, everyone instantly felt a chill in their hearts. Such a figure had actually chosen to stand with the Sun Moon Empire.
Su Yunlin took a deep breath. "It's not just him. Do you see the people beside Xu Tianran? That white-haired old man is Jing Hongchen, the grandfather of the Hongchen siblings. He isn't worth mentioning. The key is that other black-robed middle-aged man!"
The Tang Sect group looked toward that middle-aged man wearing a black robe edged with gold. This person was expressionless, his face pale. What was even stranger was that there seemed to be a layer of mist covering his face, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly.
"He is an Evil Spirit Master. His cultivation is at least above level 97. He might not have reached Limit Douluo, but his strength is probably above Elder Xuan's. Of course, if Elder Xuan wears battle armor, that's another matter."
The Tang Sect group now knew that the Sun Moon Empire really did have collusion with Evil Spirit Masters. They even had Dragon Emperor Douluo standing on their side. A gloomy atmosphere enveloped them.
Su Yunlin took out a special soul tool. It looked like a brick. Su Yunlin spoke a few words into the "brick."
After finishing this, Su Yunlin looked at Huo Yuhao. "Yuhao, go to Eldest Senior Sister and send her a message. Her and Sister Xiaotao's mission is canceled."
"Yes!"
...
Outside Radiant City.
Su Jinming also took out a "brick" and spoke into it. "Understood. I'll convey it to Elder Mu."
Su Jinming put the brick away, then looked at Elder Mu. "Elder Mu, Lin'er sent a message. Dragon Emperor Douluo has appeared at the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament beside Xu Tianran. Beside Xu Tianran, there is also an Evil Spirit Master with cultivation at least at level 97! The Illustrious Virtue Hall Master is also standing on Xu Tianran's side."
Elder Mu nodded. "I understand."
"Damn it. The dignified Dragon Emperor Douluo is actually acting as someone else's watchdog. Is he still a person of the Heavenly Soul Empire? Bah! And this is someone worthy of standing alongside Dragon God? This Sect Master looks down on him!"
Du Busi immediately started cursing. That was simply his personality. He said whatever he thought.
Elder Mu stroked his beard in silence. All the elders of Shrek knew that when he remained silent like this, it clearly meant he was angry.
Elder Xuan snorted coldly. "Old Freak Du, later, you, Tianxuan, and I will go meet that old black dragon. How about it?"
"That's exactly what I had in mind!"
Su Tianxuan looked at Su Jinming. "Jinming, lend me the Dark Night Divine Needle."
"Mm."
Su Jinming handed the Dark Night Divine Needle to Su Tianxuan. Clearly, even Su Tianxuan was angry.
They were all people of the Heavenly Soul Empire. The reason the Su family was no longer favored by the imperial family was mainly because they possessed the ability to contend for imperial power. Under normal circumstances in private, when the Heavenly Soul Emperor saw Su Jinming, he still had to smile and call him uncle.
When he saw Su Tianxuan, he had to respectfully call him Grand Consecrator.
Now that the Dark Night Duke's household had moved to Shrek Academy, the Heavenly Soul imperial family could not be happier. They immediately wrote a letter urging them to stay, saying things like the Dark Night Duke's household had rendered great service through bitter toil and would forever be a heroic family of the Heavenly Soul Empire.
Of course, those were all empty words. The main point was that the Dark Night Duke's household had made its stance clear. By going to Shrek Academy, they were declaring that they would not participate in the struggle for the throne. That was what the Heavenly Soul Emperor wanted to see.
Even if Su Jinming disliked his younger cousin, it was impossible for him to help another empire attack the Heavenly Soul Empire. They would never do something treasonous.
Now, with three level 98 Super Douluo gathered together, Du Busi possessed a uniquely blessed Body Martial Soul with a golden-level second awakening. If he went all out, he might not fear a Limit Douluo. Moreover, Du Busi was only one step away from Limit Douluo. A little pressure might allow him to break through.
As for Elder Xuan and Su Tianxuan, both possessed three-word battle armor. With battle armor amplifying them, their combat power would rise greatly. Elder Xuan possessed the super Martial Soul, Taotie Divine Bull, while Su Tianxuan was equipped with the level 9 peak soul tool, Dark Night Divine Needle.
With such an astonishing lineup, if they joined forces, they might not necessarily fear Dragon Emperor Douluo!
Elder Mu looked at Su Jinming. "Jinming, how many things did you bring this time?"
"Three level 9 stationary soul cannon shells, quite a number of level 8 stationary soul cannon shells, and all kinds of other soul tools. Right, there's also that level 8 soul tool I bought before. The Heaven-Splitting Earth-Shattering Cannon has already been upgraded by me into a level 9 soul tool."
