Douluo: Reborn as a Dragon, I am the Lord of Soul Beasts

Chapter 41 Contradiction, Fear

"Teacher?" Meng Hongchen jumped up immediately. Ying Qian's voice was too familiar to her. That was why she was so excited.

The members of the reserve team on the side were looking at Meng Hongchen with confusion, wondering what had happened to this young lady who always looked lively and lovely?

Even Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but frown and asked, "Meng, what's wrong with you?"

"Brother, didn't you hear what the teacher said just now?" Meng Hongchen said immediately.

"Teacher?" Xiao Hongchen was stunned, then immediately looked around and found that there was no sign of Ying Qian.

"What did the teacher say to you?" Xiao Hongchen asked.

Meng Hongchen did not hesitate and immediately told everyone everything Ying Qian had just said.

When Ma Lao and Xiao Hongchen heard this, they nodded and said, "Since His Majesty the Dragon King doesn't want you to play, he must have his reasons. Then you shouldn't play for now, at least until you meet Shrek Academy."

Meng Hongchen naturally did not dare to raise any objection to Ying Qian's arrangement, and immediately said "oh" and sat down obediently. This was in stark contrast to the scene where he was clamoring to go on stage. Sure enough, His Majesty the Dragon King was good at controlling his disciples!
At this time, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy had also stepped down from the competition stage. Crush, crush, the Soul Instructor Academy from the Douling Empire was unlucky. They were also Soul Instructor Academy, but they met the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy from the Sun Moon Empire. Isn't that like showing off in front of Guan Yu! A direct crush, no excuses.

Speaking of which, the Douling Empire, as one of the three empires originally belonging to the Douluo Continent, is indeed the most advanced in the research of soul guides. It may be because the Douling Empire is the weakest among the four empires, or it may be because the Douling Empire does not have many sects like the Tianhun Empire, and the empire's resources are almost all divided up by large and small sects.

"Let's go!" Ma Rulong's voice was not as happy as imagined. Instead, it sounded a little low. He directly gave the order to return to the hotel.

Without any hesitation, everyone followed Ma Rulong and quickly returned to the hotel. Outside, there was only one voice, so even though everyone was curious, they did not ask Ma Rulong why.

Ying Qian, who was watching the battle from the sky, also lost the desire to watch. He looked around and could feel that there were several people staring at him. They should be the Titled Douluo from the Xingluo Empire! But it didn't matter. There were not many people on this continent who could stop him. They were just guarding against him.

However, apart from those old guys from the Xing Luo Empire, Ying Qian also felt another aura.

"The guy from the Body Sect." Ying Qian gritted his teeth. Speaking of which, he and the Body Sect were sworn enemies. Thousands of years ago, most of the Titled Douluo of the Body Sect attacked the core circle of the Star Dou Great Forest and hunted more than a dozen hundred thousand year old soul beasts in succession. That hunt directly led to the beast tide in the Star Dou Great Forest, which led to more sacrifices in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Therefore, if there is a chance, Ying Qian will definitely meet these guys from the Body Sect. At least he will not let the Body Sect hang around in front of him so comfortably.

Here, the group of people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, led by Ma Rulong, did not return to their rooms to rest immediately after returning to the Xinghuang Hotel. Instead, they sat around the marble table in the conference room.

"Rulong, what's the matter? Tell me quickly!" This time, Mr. Ma did not sit in the upper seat, but sat on the side. It was obvious that this meeting was led by Ma Rulong.

Ma Rulong glanced at Micah on the side and motioned him to speak.

Mika nodded, and then said, "In the previous match, we discovered that the soul guides used by the Soul Guide Academy of the Douling Empire actually contained rare metals that we have always strictly prohibited."

As soon as these words came out, everyone understood why Ma Rulong's face was so ugly. Rare metals have always been strictly controlled by the empire, but they actually appeared in the hands of the Douling Empire, which is the farthest away from the empire, and were even used in the competition. What does this mean? The smuggling of rare metals within the empire is becoming more and more rampant.

"Mr. Ma, I'd like to trouble you to personally report this matter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and ask him to investigate the matter thoroughly. If the three empires of the original Douluo Continent all begin to pay attention to the development of soul guides, then our advantages may be gone." Xiao Hongchen said seriously.

"Of course I know this." Mr. Ma's face did not look very good either.

At the same time, when the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy was holding a meeting, the meeting rooms of other academies were naturally not idle either.

Shrek Academy here.

Wang Yan sat in the first seat. "In the first battle, you showed the momentum of our Shrek Academy. To be more precise, you made the glory of Shrek shine. In the past two days, I have been observing the competitions of other academies while listening to the reactions of all parties to our first battle. The effect is much better than expected. Now, in the eyes of other academies, our Shrek Academy is the synonym of mystery and strength. They have no idea how strong we are."

Ma Xiaotao and the others were not surprised by such comments, after all, they were inner court disciples of Shrek Academy. Little did they know that if Ying Qian had not intervened in advance, they would have been dead or injured by now.

At this time, Wang Yan also turned his attention to the reserve team. "Don't worry, you little guys. Although the reserve team is not the main force, since the academy has sent you here, you will have the opportunity to play. Starting tomorrow, we will have the group stage. Our first opponent is the Xingluo Empire Yunluo Advanced Soul Instructor Academy. This academy is also quite famous in the Xingluo Empire. It mainly teaches soul instructors. Huo Yuhao and Cai Tou, when it comes to soul guides, everyone here knows more about them than you!"

Huo Yuhao and He Caitou smiled at each other when they heard this. The two brothers were both top students in the Soul Guidance Department, and what Wang Yan had just said was obviously an attempt to let the two brothers take the field!

At this time, Ma Xiaotao, the team leader, couldn't help but speak up, "Teacher Wang, is it that troublesome? Soul mentors and the like, can't we just go on the field directly? No matter what the competition mode is, if it's an individual competition, that's even better, I can beat seven people at once."

Ma Xiaotao's words revealed the traditional spirit masters' disdain for spirit guides. This made Huo Yuhao and He Caitou look unhappy. It was said that there was a spirit guide inner courtyard disciple in the original selected team, but after the captain Ma Xiaotao returned, he was kicked out of the list of selected team members.

Ma Xiaotao even said directly in dialect, "My team cannot be without anyone except the soul mentor." It can be seen that her attitude towards the soul mentor is average.

Listening to Ma Xiaotao's inappropriate remarks, Wang Yan said with displeasure: "Ma Xiaotao, don't forget. Our real opponent, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, is full of soul instructors. Their strength puts our team members in a tough battle every year. I don't want to tell you how powerful soul instructors are, but you shouldn't underestimate them."

"Humph! Isn't this true? Or has our Shrek Academy never won the championship in a certain year?" Ma Xiaotao snorted coldly, and ignored Wang Yan's words. Speaking of which, Ma Xiaotao really didn't take Wang Yan, the Soul King-level team leader, seriously. "You" Wang Yan was angry.

"Okay, okay. Teacher Wang Yan, calm down, and Xiao Tao, please say less." In the end, Dai Yueheng stepped forward to smooth things over. After all, among the people present, Dai Yueheng was the only one who had a say.

"Our goal is to win the championship. Since we are representing the academy, let's not talk about unpleasant things." Dai Yueheng continued.

But Ma Xiaotao was so proud in her heart that even in the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy, there were few people that Ma Xiaotao could sincerely admire, let alone Dai Yueheng.

"I know that you look down on me because I am not as strong as you and Dai Yuheng. It doesn't matter, I don't need you to look up to me. But please remember one thing, I am the leader of the Shrek Academy in this competition, and the mentor who leads the competition. If you cannot guarantee to fulfill your duties as captain, then starting from the next game, you will not be allowed to play. I will take all the responsibility."

Wang Yan continued, he was always good-tempered, but it was rare for him to lose his temper. But this is not Shrek Yue Academy, they represent the honor of the academy, and they are here to fight for the highest honor in the continent, so there can only be one voice in the team. Rather than letting the conflict break out later, it is better to make it clear now.

But Ma Xiaotao obviously didn't understand Wang Yan's inner intention, she just snorted coldly and went back to her room, and simply didn't attend the next meeting, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Teacher Wang Yan" Dai Yueheng was also very surprised. Just as he was about to continue persuading him, he saw Wang Yan waving his hands.

"It's okay, Xiaotao may be a little tired, let's continue."

But it turned out that without the captain Ma Xiaotao, it was meaningless to hold the meeting, after all, many tactics were centered around her and Dai Yueheng. In the end, the meeting ended unhappily, without any substantial progress.

Finally, everyone from Shrek Academy returned to their rooms in a gloomy atmosphere.

"Wang Dong, do you think Senior Sister Xiaotao went a little too far today?"

After returning to the room, Huo Yuhao rarely pulled Wang Dong to start practicing immediately, but instead started talking about what had just happened.

"Really?" Wang Dong stretched his waist, showing off his beautiful abdomen, and said, "I don't think Senior Sister Xiaotao did anything wrong in this matter. Soul mentors are not as good as soul masters! This is a fact."

Huo Yuhao smacked his lips as he looked at Wang Dong's expression. He wanted to say something, but some words never came out. He knew that Wang Dong was the same as Ma Xiaotao in this matter. They were both top spirit masters, and they were very disdainful of spirit masters who relied on external things to improve their strength.

“Come on!” Huo Yuhao was too lazy to say anything.

"What are you doing?" Wang Dong quickly pulled up his clothes to cover the excess part of his body that was exposed, and looked at Huo Yuhao with caution.

“Practice!” Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes. Wang Dong was the same age as him, so why did he always think about weird things?

After practicing for a night, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong’s soul power improved a little bit.

The next day, early in the morning.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong walked towards the conference room together, preparing to go to the competition venue with everyone. Suddenly, Huo Yuhao seemed to sense an unusual aura, and he stopped and looked towards the other end of the corridor.

At the end of the corridor, a figure flickered, like a ghost looming in the light and shadow. Huo Yuhao frowned slightly, and his intuition told him that this figure was unusual.

Wang Dong also noticed Huo Yuhao's strangeness, and followed his gaze to see that figure. She couldn't help but feel a little wary, as she could feel the mystery and oppression emanating from that figure.

"Yuhao, what do you think that is?" Wang Dong asked softly, her voice carrying a hint of worry.

Huo Yuhao was silent for a moment, staring at the figure, his expression solemn and alert. "I'm not sure, but we'd better go and take a look." He said, and then he took a step forward, but he heard the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm in his spiritual sea of ​​consciousness shouting: "Yuhao, don't go."

"Brother Tianmeng?" Yu Hao was stunned, and then immediately stopped, making Wang Dong beside him stunned.

"What's wrong, Brother Tianmeng? Did you find something wrong?" Huo Yuhao asked immediately.

"Yuhao, listen to me, don't follow that person just now. No, maybe he wasn't a human." There was a hint of fear in Tianmeng Bingcan's tone.

“Not a human? What do you mean? Brother Tianmeng, I don’t understand.” Huo Yuhao was a little confused by Tianmeng Ice Silkworm’s words. He wanted to continue asking, but he could only hear Tianmeng Ice Silkworm muttering: “Impossible, impossible, how could he be here?”

The uncharacteristic behavior of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm made Huo Yuhao a little confused, but Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was his biggest trump card, so he had to do whatever Tianmeng said. After all, without Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, he would not be where he is today.

On the other side, Ying Qian, who had just walked into the meeting room of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, raised his lips slightly, "Oh, have you been discovered? I didn't expect that Tian Meng could actually run out from the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest, but he is really an indestructible cockroach! I just don't know if Alex is here too, it's interesting!"
