"Sigh, I wanted to take him as a disciple back then. But he had absolutely no interest in my theories. Even if I wanted to take him in, he just wasn't interested."
Master sighed softly, feeling a little blocked up inside.
"Xiao Gang, you can't blame yourself for this." Flender patted Master on the shoulder, a bitter expression on his face. "It's just a pity that such a monster didn't join our Shrek Academy. We're going to have a hard time at the Continental Elite Soul Master Academy Tournament."
"Don't worry, Flender." A smile appeared on Master's stiff face, and he said confidently, "I've already gained some understanding of Cheng Xiao's Martial Soul abilities. When I fully analyze his Martial Soul's capabilities, our Shrek students won't need to fear him."
Flender nodded slightly and said, "Alright, Xiao Gang, I'll leave this matter to you. Xiao San and the others aren't seriously injured, so let them rest for two days. The second phase of training needs to continue. The academy's funds are no longer enough for you to squander. If they don't participate in Soul Fights, the academy's funds won't be enough either."
"Right, remember to remind them to be more frugal with the Gold Soul Coins they received from the Martial Soul Hall. The academy is currently in its most difficult phase, so we need to save where we can."
"Mmm." Master nodded slightly.
At the same time, in Heaven Dou City, at the Crown Prince's residence.
In a tranquil pavilion, a young woman in a pale golden gown stood quietly, her elegant aura radiating outwards.
A gentle breeze caressed her face, lifting her golden tresses that cascaded down her waist like a waterfall, creating ripples of gold on the surface of a serene lake.
At this moment, everyone in the Crown Prince's residence had been replaced by people from the Elder Hall. Qian Renxue didn't always play the role of Xue Qinghe; sometimes, she would revert to her female form, though these occasions were rare.
Gazing at the azure sky, a hint of coldness flickered in her golden eyes. After a long moment, Qian Renxue gracefully turned, her moist, red lips parted slightly, and her ethereal, pleasing voice drifted out, "Come out, Elder Snake Lance."
As her voice faded, ripples appeared in the space, and then, a tall, thin figure clad in golden armor mysteriously materialized before her, kneeling respectfully.
"Young Mistress," Snake Lance Douluo Yu Long said, showing utmost respect.
Qian Renxue furrowed her delicate brows, her tone laced with a hint of questioning, "Didn't I tell you to stay by Cheng Xiao's side, observe his every move, and protect him? Why have you returned?"
"Reporting to the young master, I have returned today to report an important matter." Snake Lance Douluo Yu Long paused, then said, "When Cheng Xiao was in Soto City, he was threatened by the headmaster of Shrek Academy. Although it didn't cause him any real harm, you said that Cheng Xiao's other identity is the disciple of Chrysanthemum Elder. I was wondering if we should inform Chrysanthemum Elder? And give that Soul Sage a warning, just in case."
"A Soul Sage?" Qian Renxue was slightly taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing across her delicate features. Then, she said coldly, "A mere Soul Sage dares to lay a hand on my people?"
"Uh…" Sensing the fluctuations of Soul Power emanating from Qian Renxue, Snake Lance Douluo swallowed, his throat bobbing. He thought to himself, When did the young master ever get angry for a stranger? Could it be… Her…
He didn't speculate further. Snake Lance Douluo took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Young master, if that's the case, I will go and inform Chrysanthemum Elder. With his personality, he will definitely vent his anger for young Cheng Xiao."
Qian Renxue pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, go and inform Chrysanthemum Elder. If there's an opportunity, it would be best if you could also bring Grand Elder and Ghost Douluo over. I think Cheng Xiao's existence could be an opportunity for us."
"As you command, young master." Snake Lance Douluo nodded.
"Alright, you may leave now. Cheng Xiao is of great use to me, and there must not be any problems." After arranging everything, Qian Renxue waved her hand, a gleam of light flashing in her golden eyes.
Hearing this, Snake Lance Douluo bowed slightly, then his figure gradually disappeared.
After Snake Lance Douluo had completely left, Qian Renxue, tall and elegant, slowly raised her slender, jade-like hand. Her hand was fair and delicate, as smooth as flowing spring water.
In her pale palm, golden energy and black energy merged, ultimately coalescing into a holy sword that was completely different from the Angelic Holy Sword she knew.
The blade of this longsword was a deep black, as if it could devour all light, while the hilt was a brilliant gold, radiating a holy glow.
Lowering her phoenix eyes, Qian Renxue gazed at the longsword formed in her palm, her expression complex.
After a long silence, Qian Renxue sighed softly, and with a wave of her jade hand, the longsword slowly dissipated into nothingness.
Soto City.
In the following period, the Royal Sky Dou Team was thriving in the Great Soul Arena of Soto City, known to all. Every soul battle they participated in resulted in a complete victory. Even without Cheng Xiao, the team battles were undefeated, with a perfect record!
Such a powerful team allowed the nobles of Soto City to gain considerable wealth simply by betting on the Royal Sky Dou Team, which, of course, caused significant losses for the Great Soul Arena.
A team that had never lost a single match. As long as they entered a Soul Battle, countless spectators and nobles would swarm to them. After all, betting on the Royal Sky Dou Team meant money in their pockets. When else would they fleece the Great Soul Arena?
Especially in the individual matches, Cheng Xiao's Shadow Soldiers allowed him to win repeatedly. Later on, he didn't even need to make a move. The host would announce the start of the match, and immediately afterward, announce its end.
Thanks to the Shadow Soldiers, Cheng Xiao's name became widely known in Soto City. Someone even gave him a nickname: the Shadow Beast King, the Shadow Monarch!
As the Shadow Monarch's name grew in fame, Cheng Xiao's battles became increasingly easy. Not just in solo matches, but even in two-person Soul Battles, he and Ye Lingling didn't need to do anything to secure a victory.
Up to now, Cheng Xiao and Ye Lingling's winning streak had reached the best record in the history of the Great Soul Arena. Once this news was released, everyone in the arena was utterly shocked.
And just as the audience and nobles were waiting to reap huge profits from the Royal Sky Dou Team, a piece of news was released: the Royal Sky Dou Team would soon be leaving Soto City, although the exact time was not yet specified. This was Qin Ming's arrangement. They had been out for so long, it was time to return to Heaven Dou City.
On the other side, Shrek Academy intentionally avoided the members of the Royal Sky Dou Team to prevent any conflicts.
After avoiding the Royal Sky Dou Team members, the Shrek Seven Devils also achieved equally good results.
Today, the Shrek team came to the team battle area to register as usual. After the leader, Master, took out the team soul battle badge, the staff member asked, "Hello, are you the leader of the Shrek Seven Devils, Master?"
"It's me. What's wrong?" Master frowned. His intuition told him this wasn't going to be good.
"Sir, please wait a moment. Our supervisor would like to see you," the staff member said.
With that, the staff member stood up and jogged towards the work area.
