"What can I feel?"
The old woman in red transformed into a tall and evil young man. Her pair of deep black eyes looked down at him with a strange expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"It's nothing more than wanting to drag the Xingluo Empire together to resist the Holy Spirit Church, and sell some Tang Sect specialties by the way."
Ling Bai approached slowly, and the real Nebula Douluo Manyi's body tensed up instantly, and his Titled Douluo-level soul power dissipated uncontrollably.
When they first met, the Death Prison Bone Dragon struck her with its dragon claw, causing her to lie in bed for a year, and the seed of fear was planted in her mind.
In recent years, the reputation of Death Prison Douluo has been growing, and it reached its peak after he broke into Mingde Hall alone, killed dozens of body sect soul masters and walked away. The fear in Manyi's heart continued to ferment, but she was Xu Jiujiu's guardian, and she had to stand in front of Xu Jiujiu no matter what.
Compared to Nebula Douluo's gaffe, Xu Jiujiu displayed the grace and demeanor of an imperial princess and said calmly,
"You are also a member of the Holy Spirit Church."
"Well, you can call me the deputy leader of the Death Prison."
"Then, Deputy Leader of the Death Prison, Jiujiu, may I ask, has your Holy Spirit Church really reached an alliance with the Sun-Moon Empire?"
"Crown Prince Xu Tianran has already worshipped the leader as his national teacher and acknowledged the Supreme Leader as his adoptive mother. After he ascends the throne, the Holy Spirit Church will naturally be named the sect that protects the country."
Ling Bai picked up a fruit from the fruit plate on the coffee table and took a bite. It was juicy and full of juice. "Xu Tianran is a staunch advocate of war. By then, all evil soul masters will be part of the Sun and Moon regular army."
As soon as these words came out, Xu Jiujiu's face changed drastically. The evil soul master has a killing power far beyond that of ordinary soul masters. If the Holy Spirit Church has a corpse-exploding soul skill like the Death Messenger, it will definitely be a devastating blow to the three empires on the battlefield.
"This continental war is far more severe than we expected..." Xu Jiujiu said, "Xingluo should stock up on some war-type soul guides. What do you think of the Tang Sect's Zhuge Divine Crossbow?"
"It seems strange that you ask me this." Ling Bai looked at Xu Jiujiu in surprise, "I am the deputy leader of the Holy Spirit, and you are the Princess of Xingluo. Don't forget that our positions are contradictory."
"Besides our positions, we are still friends." Xu Jiujiu smiled and said, "Just talk about it, just like old friends chatting."
"The materials of a fourth-level soul guide are sold at the price of a sixth-level soul guide. I am taking advantage of you. But it's a two-way fight. It's because you don't have soul guide technology. You can't even make a reliable sixth-level fixed-type soul guide cannon."
Xu Jiujiu smiled bitterly: "We have begun to pay attention to soul guides, but the soul guide technology of the Sun-Moon Empire is at least a hundred years ahead of Xing Luo. War is imminent, and the Tang Sect wants to make money from the war. We can only offer gold soul coins with both hands.
It would be great if you could join Xingluo. Xingluo spies found out that you took away a large number of high-level soul guide blueprints and some top-secret items from Mingde Hall that year, forcing Jing Hongchen to join Prince Xu Tianran to protect himself.
Can we discuss this? Sell us a few blueprints, and Xing Luo will give you everything you want."
Those star-like eyes stared at Ling Bai brightly. Compared to buying Zhuge's magic crossbow, what Ling Bai had in his hands was the foundation for the country's prosperity.
Ling Bai thought for a moment, took out the blueprint from the storage soul guide device and handed it to Xu Jiujiu, saying:
"Chihun, like Zhuge's divine crossbow, is a fixed-type soul guide cannon, which comes with Chihun's exclusive soul guide shell blueprint.
The advantage of Zhuge's divine crossbow is that a level 4 soul guide has the firing distance of a level 6 soul guide, while the advantage of the red soul is its powerful power and low cost. The attack power of a level 6 red soul is comparable to that of a level 7 fixed soul guide."
"Uh-huh!"
Xu Jiujiu felt like he was holding a rare treasure. The two soul guide cannons each had their own advantages and disadvantages. The biggest difference was that the Zhuge Divine Crossbow belonged to the Tang Sect, so he would have to depend on the Tang Sect in the future, while the Red Soul belonged to the Xing Luo Empire, so it was up to Xing Luo to make as many as they wanted.
Seeing Xu Jiujiu's smiling face, Ling Bai couldn't help but sigh at the importance of developing a country through science and technology. The first generation of Red Soul was just an obsolete item with a maximum limit of seven levels in Lin Jiaran's words, but the Xingluo Empire regarded it as a treasure. It was hard to imagine how the three empires could compete with the advanced soul guide device of the Sun and Moon Empire.
"You've helped us a lot. If you want something, we'll satisfy you!"
"No need."
Ling Bai shook his head slightly. The Sun-Moon Empire was destined to be the enemy. The Sky Soul Empire was vaguely on the side of the Body Sect. He was not very familiar with the Douling Empire. The best empire to win over was the Xingluo Empire. He couldn't stand against the four major empires and make the whole world his enemy.
"Bai Sang, you are so nice!"
Benefits are motivating. Xu Jiujiu was so excited that her face flushed. With Chihun, the national defense of the Xingluo Empire would be greatly improved, and her status would also rise. Nebula Douluo Manyi's tense nerves also relaxed a lot.
She had always disapproved of Xu Jiujiu keeping in touch with Death Prison Douluo, because it was like dancing on the edge of a knife. But Xu Jiujiu firmly believed that Death Prison Douluo would bring greater benefits to the Star Dou Empire, and fortunately she got her reward.
Xu Jiujiu looked at Ling Bai as if he was looking at a treasure mountain, licked his red lips lightly, and said in a gentle tone: "Ning Bai, I want more."
"greedy."
"Rare metals, soul guide blueprints, the heads of ninth-level soul guides... As long as you are willing to give them to us, I said I can marry you. As long as I am here, my brother will not abandon you after you have done your work."
She made no secret of her ambition. Over the years, Xu Jiujiu grew into a qualified imperial princess. She did not care about the danger of courting death, but instead set her sights on the glittering treasures in the tiger's den.
The brave explorer is willing to sacrifice her life for the treasure, and Xu Jiujiu is willing to devote herself to the super evil Douluo who once saved her in order to gain strong support for the country.
Ling Bai did not reply for a long time. His figure turned into a shadow and disappeared. He easily agreed to the request. Xu Jiujiu would definitely strike the snake while it is still under the stick. Only by placing bait little by little could he keep her expecting forever, and look forward to getting benefits from Death Prison Douluo when they meet next time.
When returning to the room, Ling Bai saw a group of people gathered in the hotel corridor. Upon closer inspection, they were the Shrek Team. They must have come to visit after hearing that Beibei was seriously injured.
The Angel Temple and the Tang Sect signed up one after another. Both were small and unknown sects, and the organizers arranged for their rooms to be connected. Less than half a second after Ling Bai appeared, a pair of eyes caught his eye in the Shrek team.
When Ling Bai saw that face, he was surprised and delighted at the same time:
"Senior Sister, you are here."
"Yes, Le Xuan and I are the teachers leading the Shrek team."
Han Ruoruo's black eyes, like cold stars inlaid with green jade, were filled with smiles. Zhang Lexuan was the team leader arranged by Shrek Academy. She took the initiative to apply to come to Mingdu. There was no special reason, but she missed Ling Bai after not seeing him for two months.
Everything was self-evident. Ling Bai knew what Han Ruoruo was thinking. He stepped forward and held Han Ruoruo's jade-white hand. All around were people from the Shrek team and the Tang Sect. Han Ruoruo's cheeks flushed instantly and she whispered,
"There are so many people here. I'll go in and see Beibei."
The area of the rooms on the ground floor is limited. Xu Sanshi, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er are standing in Beibei's room. Senior sister Zhang Lexuan is sitting beside Beibei's bed, pinching his pulse to check for injuries.
Beibei had a deep cultivation base after all, and her injuries had stabilized. She could just rest in bed. Looking at Zhang Lexuan, whose emotions were fluctuating, she forced a smile and said,
"Senior Sister, I'm fine. You guys should go back and prepare for the battle."
Zhang Lexuan's eyes turned red: "You are not a careless person, why can't you control your emotions this time!
Tang Ya's condition is obviously not right, you should think twice before you act, at least talk to me first... let's discuss it before you act!"
"Yes, yes, Senior Sister, I was wrong. Please don't scold me in front of so many people."
After hearing Bei Bei's hint, Zhang Lexuan finally realized that her concern had exposed herself. She quickly calmed down and coughed softly,
"Rest assured and don't worry about Tang Ya's affairs. Don't act rashly. The Holy Spirit Church is no small matter. Everything needs to wait for the decision of the academy's top management."
"I understand, Senior Sister."
"Ruoruo, let's go."
Zhang Lexuan got up and left, walked to the corridor and nodded to Ling Bai. Han Ruoruo gave Ling Bai a look, meaning that he should go back and comfort Zhang Lexuan who was in a bad mood, and they would talk later.
At night, on the top floor of Mingyue Hotel.
Zhang Lexuan stood quietly on the wide semicircular balcony and looked into the distance. The view from this position was excellent and she could see half of Mingdu.
Shrek Academy has won every Soul Master Competition in the past ten thousand years and lives in the most luxurious sky villa, which has a reception room, living room, large conference room, tea room, and even a sky swimming pool in the center of the villa.
Above the azure water is a glass dome, surrounded by a soft light blue glow. Looking upwards you can see the endless starry sky. The beauty of this dome is enough to mesmerize anyone.
"Hula——"
A graceful figure broke out of the water, and the blooming round water droplets reflected her plump body. Under the soft light, the delicate black lace pattern on the chest guarded the depth, bringing out the exposed dazzling whiteness.
"Le Xuan, don't you want to come down for a swim?" Han Ruoruo invited.
"Not interested."
Han Ruoruo shook her head helplessly. Zhang Lexuan had been putting on a cold face since returning to the room. She picked up two thin wine glasses filled with amber-colored wine.
"Want a drink?"
A faint fragrance lingered at the rim of the cup. Zhang Lexuan took the glass from Han Ruoruo's hand and drank it all. The slightly sour wine was filled with rich fruity aroma and had a long aftertaste.
Han Ruoruo took a sip and said softly, "Le Xuan, we have known each other for twenty years and have been teammates in two Soul Master Competitions. I think I know you a little bit."
Zhang Lexuan said nothing, but her hands were unconsciously clenched.
"I guess I'm not a good girlfriend. I didn't realize how you felt about Beibei before. It's normal that you don't want to tell me the truth."
"Ruoruo, I suddenly envy you a little." Zhang Lexuan looked up at the night sky, tears in her beautiful eyes. "Although the person you like has a heart divided into many parts, he always has you in his heart, pays for you, considers you, recognizes your status, and makes you qualified to stand by his side."
Han Ruoruo shook the water droplets on the ends of her hair: "We each have our own joys and sorrows. Anyway, my lifelong event has been resolved. But you, do you really want to wait for Beibei for the rest of your life?"
"I don't know." Zhang Lexuan lowered her head in confusion. "Should I wait for you silently for my whole life, or should I just marry someone and end the relationship? I don't have the answer in my heart."
"Marrying someone hastily is just torturing yourself. Don't be stupid. Be the godmother of my baby and we two sisters will raise her together."
"Well, it seems that we can consider it..."
"Don't worry about it. Change your clothes and swim two laps with me. Let me see if my godmother is broad-minded enough."
"You are really...Luckily I'm the only one here, otherwise your little man would have eaten you up if he saw you."
"Humph, don't you like little men too..."
…
Held once every five years, the four-nation tour and continent-wide youth soul master elite competition is as grand as a festival.
The competition venue for this competition was set up in the suburbs of Mingdu. When the first ray of sunlight rose in the east in the early morning, the streets of Mingdu were already bustling with activity.
Soldiers covered in silver armor lined up in two rows, extending outward from the main entrance of Mingyue Hotel. One hundred and sixty-seven participating teams each rushed out of Mingdu.
The empty suburbs were crowded with people. Soldiers maintained order and divided the crowd into areas to isolate them from the competition venue. On the north side of the competition venue, there was a high platform, which was a rostrum built of metal splicing. The competition venue looked majestic, with a light yellow curtain rising high into the sky, with no end in sight.
The sky gradually brightened, and the morning sun shone on everyone, as if coating all the contestants with a layer of gold. There were too many teams and contestants coming to participate, and it took half an hour just to take their seats. The people in the distance kept making noisy noises.
A dragon chariot that looked like a small palace was approaching from afar, followed by palace guards and a large number of officials from the Sun and Moon Empire in official uniforms.
The dragon chariot stopped in front of the rostrum. Two maids lifted a curtain embroidered with a silver lotus pattern. A wheelchair was pushed out, with a handsome young man sitting in it.
Crown Prince Xu Tianran.
The Sun and Moon Emperor is seriously ill, and Crown Prince Xu Tianran presides over the opening ceremony of the Soul Master Competition as regent. A beautiful woman follows him in his wheelchair.
Princess, Orange.
The appearance of Ju Zi attracted many people's attention, including Ling Bai. When Ling Bai entered the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, Ju Zi had already dropped out of school to join the army, so he had never seen this emperor and empress war god with high military talent. Out of curiosity, he took a few more glances.
Huo Yuhao's eyes trembled, and his feelings towards Orange were even more complicated.
No matter how beautiful the orange is, it can only be a supporting role. Xu Tianran is the protagonist of the opening of the competition. He raised his hand gently.
"quiet."
A deep voice suddenly sounded, and a strong pressure spread throughout the whole place. The moment this voice appeared, everyone felt a black screen in front of their eyes, and a sense of oppression as if a dark cloud covered the sky, and their breathing became rapid involuntarily.
The discussions were drowned out by this low voice, and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the battle zone were silent, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao stood proudly in the sky. He was standing up for the Sun-Moon Empire and at the same time announcing to the world the fact that the Holy Spirit Church had formed an alliance with the Sun-Moon Empire.
Xu Tianran was very satisfied with Long Xiaoyao's actions and said loudly:
"Dear citizens of the Sun Moon Empire and guests from afar, I, the Regent King Xu Tianran, welcome you.
I declare that this year's Continental Youth High-level Spirit Master Elite Competition has officially begun!"
