Chapter 128 Peak showdown! Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, two days have passed. In a conference room at the Xinghuang Hotel, everyone from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy sat around a table, discussing the finals that would take place tomorrow. Ma Rulong looked around at everyone present with a dark face and asked, "Why didn't anyone take care of me on the field the day before yesterday? If you had come later, I would have died on the field. You are really going too far." That day on the field, Ma Rulong and the players from Xingluo National Academy were poisoned, but sadly, no one remembered him afterwards. Fortunately, his cultivation was strong and he managed to hold on until his teammates came back and took him back. Even so, he was tortured so badly that when he was rescued, he was foaming at the mouth. Ma Rulong gritted his teeth, he strongly suspected that these guys did it on purpose. Is Ma Rulong's popularity so bad? Everyone looked at each other, feeling awkward for a moment.

You know what, no one really did it on purpose. You, Ma Rulong, have a very low presence in normal times, and everyone really forgot about you. Seeing this, Huo Yuhao stepped out to smooth things over, saying, “Captain, this is not our fault. We thought that Master Ma would bring you back, but who knew that Master Ma had forgotten about you as well.” Huo Yuhao’s meaning was very clear. Look, your grandfather has forgotten you, and this is not our fault. He lightly put the blame on Mr. Ma. Upon hearing this, Mr. Ma coughed lightly and said seriously, "Rulong, don't mention the past anymore. You are the captain, you should have the responsibility of a captain. The final result is good, that's all." Ma Rulong had a resentful look on his face. He turned to look at his grandfather, doubting in his heart whether he was his biological grandson. Is there anyone who would betray his grandson like this? "In this match against Xingluo National Academy, Fang Yuan and Meng Hongchen performed well. After we won the team battle, the opponent gave up yesterday's individual elimination match, which left us with a large part of their strength." Mr. Ma cleverly changed the subject. Meng Hongchen crossed her arms and said with a grin, "My poison is not so easy to cure. Without me detoxifying them, they are lucky to be alive." Meng Hongchen's ice toad venom was originally an extremely rare species. With the addition of Huo Yuhao's soul power, the power of the venom was greatly enhanced. Not to mention the Soul King, even the Soul Sage had to stay away from this cold poison. Without Meng Hongchen to detoxify them, the people from the Xingluo National Academy team have no chance of recovering their combat effectiveness in a short period of time. It is even more impossible for Xingluo National Academy to send a few reserve players to compete, as that would be asking for trouble. Therefore, Xingluo National Academy had to give up the individual elimination competition on the second day. Therefore, it was natural for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy to enter the finals of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Fighting Soul Competition. And their next opponent was, as expected, Shrek Academy. Shrek's opponent in the semi-finals was the Star Academy. Although it had some strength, it was not very strong. After encountering the Shrek Academy with a Soul Emperor, it was completely defeated. But what surprised Huo Yuhao was that the only Soul Emperors from Shrek Academy who appeared in the semi-finals were Ling Luochen and Dai Yueheng.

Ma Xiaotao never appeared in the entire Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition? This is obviously some big move. Huo Yuhao knew in his heart that it might not be so easy to win the final. He sighed secretly in his heart, thinking that the cause and effect correction of the God King Tang had finally taken effect, and their final opponent was indeed the old rival Shrek Academy. And I don’t know what kind of cheats King Tang has given Shrek. If you want to win tomorrow, you'll have to show some real skills. "Tomorrow is the final battle. I will announce the list of team members: Ma Rulong, Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, Fang Yuan, Mijia, Xiao Xiafeng, and Lin Xi." "Everyone, have a good rest tonight. No matter what big moves Shrek and the others are planning, I always believe in your strength. Tomorrow will be the day when we step on Shrek to be crowned!" "Yes!" Everyone in the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Team answered in unison. On the other side, in a conference room on a different floor of the Star King Hotel, the atmosphere was a bit weird. There were only two people in the conference room, Wang Yan and Xuan Zi were arguing loudly about something. "Master Xuan, what are you talking about? It's not appropriate for us to do this!" Wang Yan opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief. Opposite him, Xuan Zi was still in his slovenly state. After hearing Wang Yan's words, he said angrily: "The competition is supposed to be like this. It doesn't matter if we accidentally kill a few of their students. It would be best if we could decide the outcome in one battle. In the team battle, we can kill these Sun Moon Empire brats so that they can't find enough candidates for individual battles." "When did we Shrek resort to such despicable means to plot against others?" Wang Yan only said this to himself in his heart, and did not say it out loud. "But Master Xuan, the strength of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy is also very strong. Although Ling Luochen's cultivation has broken through to the Soul Emperor, we may not be able to defeat them, right?" Wang Yan asked puzzled. "Haha, Wang Yan, do you think this is all I gained from taking Xiao Tao and the other kids out a few days ago?" Xuan Zi took a big gulp of the wine in the gourd and said something meaningful. As soon as the words fell, an extremely powerful aura suddenly erupted in the corner of the conference room. Domineering and fiery. Wang Yan's eyes widened. He didn't even notice that there was another person in the meeting room. Ma Xiaotao was seen walking out slowly from the shadows. Compared to when she left Shrek Academy a month ago, her entire temperament had undergone a drastic change. Her red hair was tied behind her, her lips were a bright red, and there seemed to be a blazing flame burning in her pupils. Ma Xiaotao said calmly: "Teacher Wang, as long as I am here, Shrek will not lose." She exudes an aura of invincibility, a feeling of extreme self-confidence. How did Ma Xiaotao become so powerful all of a sudden? Wang Yan was shocked. In the face of the power unleashed by Ma Xiaotao, he even felt a little trembling in his heart. "This time, Xiaotao and the others can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. With them around, we Shrek cannot lose!" Xuan Zi's tone was full of confidence, and there was a gleam in his eyes.

"I will make Shrek great again!" Xingluo City, as the capital of Xingluo Empire and the largest city in Xingluo Empire, has been experiencing urban congestion for several consecutive days. The streets are crowded with people, and soldiers in uniform can be seen everywhere maintaining order. In order to maintain order in the imperial capital, the Xingluo Empire even ordered all shops to extend their business hours and urgently allocated various resources from the surrounding big cities. For a time, the prosperity of Xingluo City had reached an unprecedented level. The event that could trigger such a grand occasion is, of course, the finals of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition. The two teams in the final, Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, both represent the most powerful forces on the continent today. This game has attracted the attention of the entire continent. Nowadays, all kinds of information about the two teams have been analyzed almost by the spectators. In the underground black market, Shrek Academy has a relatively large advantage in odds, with a to ratio, which is higher than the Sun and Moon Soul Instructor Academy. This situation mainly occurs because of rumors that the Shrek Academy's lineup for the finals will be stronger than imagined, and it is very likely to be an unprecedented lineup of Three Soul Emperors. Countless viewers were shocked by the news, and many people were also very confused. They heard that Shrek's lineup was incomplete in the previous stage, so why did Shrek become a Three Soul Emperor lineup today? Even so, the various novel soul guides mastered by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy are also a variable, especially since they did not reveal too much in the previous competitions. No one knows what cards they have left, so it is still unknown who will win. The weather today is not very good. It was covered with dark clouds early in the morning, and the sky above Xingluo City was shrouded in a faint chill. However, no matter how cold it is, it cannot dilute the enthusiasm of people from all over the city, because a peak showdown will take place later. At this time, the two teams that were about to stage a peak showdown were on their way to Xingluo Square. Huo Yuhao walked in the middle of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Team. He kept looking up at the dark clouds in the sky, which aroused the curiosity of Meng Hongchen beside him. "Fang Yuan, what are you looking at?" Huo Yuhao smiled faintly: "Nothing, I just think the weather is good today." Meng Hongchen nodded. She was a little nervous at this moment, because this was the closest time in the history of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy to the championship of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition. Not only her, but also Xiao Hongchen, who was arrogant, had a tense expression on his face at this moment. On the top of the city wall in the distance, the Emperor Xu Jiawei of the Xingluo Empire and his civil and military officials had already stood on the imperial city. Huo Yuhao looked up, and in an instant, his body shook violently, and his originally calm heart was suddenly filled with turbulent waves. Next to Xu Jiawei stood a middle-aged man, who looked to be in his thirties, wearing a golden armor, with very regular facial features, deep eye sockets, and twin pupils in his deep blue eyes. His face looked a little thin, but his whole body had a metallic texture and he carried the iron-blooded temperament of a soldier. Huo Yuhao’s mind was shaken, but he immediately calmed down, with a sneer on his face. At this moment, above the imperial city, Xu Jiawei noticed Huo Yuhao's gaze and turned to look at White Tiger Duke Dai Hao. Dai Hao had a blank expression on his face, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking. Judging from his appearance, you would never tell that he had a son who died a few months ago. "My dear brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. It's really a pity about Hua Bin's incident. I will do my best to hunt down the murderer. I will notify you as soon as I have any news."

Xu Jiawei said with a long sigh. When Dai Hao heard the word Hua Bin, his expression clearly fluctuated for a moment, but then he returned to his indifferent look. "Thank you, Your Majesty. If there is any news about that thief one day, I hope Your Majesty will allow me to take action personally." “My dear brother, I am sorry for your loss!” Xu Jiawei said. He then turned his gaze towards Huo Yuhao and asked curiously, “Dai Qing, do you know that young man?” Dai Hao followed Xu Jiawei's gaze and saw Huo Yuhao, and was stunned. The moment he saw this face, he suddenly felt somewhat familiar, but he had no idea where this familiarity came from. After a long pause, he replied, "Your Majesty, I do not know this young man." Xu Jiawei narrowed his eyes slightly. Dai Hao didn’t even know this guy, so how did this guy and the Dai family become enemies? And this kid is too weird. The Soul-Devouring Knife clearly fell into his hand, but there was no movement at all. Could it be that this guy has been useless all along? Xu Jiawei looked at Huo Yuhao's figure and felt more and more puzzled. Neither Xu Jiawei nor Dai Hao expected that the ferocious beast that killed Dai Huabin, which they were just talking about, was now right under their noses. Off the field, not only Huo Yuhao saw Dai Hao, but Dai Yueheng also saw the figure of the White Tiger Duke. He is now the only heir to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. Looking at his father on the city wall in the distance, Dai Yueheng's heart was filled with fighting spirit. Seeing that players from both teams had entered the rest area, Xu Jiawei nodded to Duke White Tiger beside him. "Silence, the competition is about to begin. Your Majesty, please speak." Dai Hao shouted in a deep voice. "Kill, kill, kill!" All the soldiers present immediately raised their weapons and shouted at the same time. For a moment, the entire Xingluo Square was filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere. The soldiers looked at Dai Hao with fanaticism in their eyes, which also showed Dai Hao's appeal in the army. Xu Jiawei waited for the people in the square to quiet down before smiling and saying, "Today, we will witness a showdown between the strongest young people on the continent. I am very excited and hope that both sides can bring us a wonderful game. According to convention, the winner of this final will receive three soul bones and a million gold soul coins as rewards. Without further ado, please join me in reliving this historic showdown!" As soon as he finished speaking, a yellow light flashed, and the next second, the old acquaintance Tiansha Douluo Huang Jinxu appeared in the center of the competition stage. "The finals of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition, I am the referee to announce the rules of the competition!" "The basic rules are the same as before, but both sides can let go during the game. However, because the game changes rapidly, this referee cannot guarantee the absolute safety of the two participants. I hope both sides will exercise restraint. Now, both sides get ready. In one minute, the players participating in the team battle will enter the court." As the rules of the competition were announced, the atmosphere in the entire Xingluo Plaza suddenly became tense. Hundreds of thousands of people suddenly became silent, and everyone stared with their eyes wide open. Huo Yuhao looked at the Hong Chen brothers and sisters around him and the rest of the team members. "Come on!" everyone shouted in unison. One minute passed quickly. "Team members of both teams are coming on stage." Tiansha Douluo announced at the perfect time. At the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, Huo Yuhao and seven others slowly walked onto the competition stage. The moment Huo Yuhao stepped onto the competition stage, he was stunned.

Because the players from Shrek Academy were really beyond his expectations. (End of this chapter)
