Martial Soul: Luo Sanpao, Starting by Conquering Liu Erlong!-Chapter 139: The Soul Master Tournament Begins

Tang Hao's actions were, in a way, a simple attempt to divert some attention away from Tang San.

Soon, the horrific tragedy that had occurred in the Star Dou Great Forest sent shockwaves throughout Heaven Dou City and Spirit Hall City.

The emergence of evil soul masters.

The destruction of a Spirit Hall branch.

Countless lives lost.

Each of these pieces of news alone would have been enough to captivate people's attention.

Now, with all three happening at once, they immediately drew the eyes of the entire continent.

Within Spirit Hall, upon hearing of the emergence of evil soul masters, Qian Daoliu immediately dispatched Qian Jun and Jiangmo, two Title Douluos, to investigate the matter. At the same time, Bibi Dong, due to the destruction of the Spirit Hall branch, ordered Ju Douluo and Gui Douluo to assist Qian Jun and Jiangmo in thoroughly investigating the incident.

Under the investigation of the four Title Douluos, they quickly set their sights on Shrek Academy.

According to the accounts of the few soul masters who had survived the ordeal, they had seen Shrek's dean, Flender, surrounded by members of Spirit Hall who were hunting the evil soul masters, as if they were about to arrest him.

As for how they knew it was Shrek's dean, they had heard Flender's pitiful words in the forest, which had left a deep impression on them.

Because they found his words quite amusing, they remembered Shrek's dean quite vividly.

Thus, all eyes were now on Shrek Academy, including those of Spirit Hall.

However, all of this was irrelevant to Xiao Yu.

They had already returned to Blue Tyrant Academy by carriage.

Even though they were back in Heaven Dou City, they could still occasionally hear from passersby about the emergence of evil soul masters in the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Scarlet King, see? I wasn't wrong, was I? Isn't this more fun than just killing him outright?"

Xiao Yu, stroking the egg of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, chuckled lightly.

"Hmph, despicable human."

Scarlet King snorted coldly, ignoring Xiao Yu.

But Xiao Yu didn't mind.

After all, some beasts are all talk.

Their mouths are the hardest part of their bodies.

As for the fate of Shrek Academy, Xiao Yu didn't care much. With Yu Xiaogang around, as long as there was no concrete evidence, Bibi Dong would likely show leniency for Yu Xiaogang's sake.

With Spirit Hall's reputation backing them, Shrek Academy would likely be exonerated.

Once Spirit Hall made a statement, Shrek Academy would essentially be in the clear. No matter how much others doubted, they wouldn't dare say much unless they wanted to challenge Spirit Hall's authority on the continent.

"Human, when are you going to start helping the Beast Emperor's egg hatch?"

Scarlet King, seeing Xiao Yu idling after lunch, spoke with displeasure.

"Huh? What's the rush? I'm about to start."

After casually replying, Xiao Yu headed to the hillside at the back of the mountain.

He placed the Beast Emperor's egg on the ground.

"Why are you coming up here?! This is my private territory. Get down!!"

"Hmph, I'm responsible for protecting the Beast Emperor's safety. How can I stay too far away?"

Scarlet King sneered.

"Whatever. If you don't get down, I won't start. Go ahead, let the Silver Dragon King kill me if you dare."

"You—"

Hearing Xiao Yu's threat, Scarlet King was filled with rage.

In the end, he could only reluctantly descend the hill, his face full of displeasure.

Watching Scarlet King go down, Xiao Yu sneered.

Thought I couldn't handle you?

Just as Scarlet King reached the bottom, he saw the group of women coming up the hill.

Seeing this, Scarlet King snorted coldly and stationed himself at the base of the hill, keeping a close watch on the summit.

As the women arrived, Xiao Yu first enjoyed the feeling of having beauties in his arms.

Then, by activating his innate domain, he began to cultivate while simultaneously illuminating the Beast Emperor's egg.

Killing two birds with one stone.

As Xiao Yu's innate domain expanded, the Beast Emperor's egg seemed to sense something.

It began to emit an incredibly rich life force.

At the base of the hill, Scarlet King keenly felt the aura emanating from the Beast Emperor's egg.

For a moment, his eyes filled with astonishment.

The master truly is the master. This human really can help the Beast Emperor hatch early.

Seeing that the Beast Emperor was indeed safe, Scarlet King sat down cross-legged again. freewёbnoνel.com

Though his gaze no longer focused on the hilltop, he remained vigilant of his surroundings.

He could die, but the Beast Emperor must not.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yu continued to cultivate peacefully, waiting for the tournament to begin.

Tang San, on the other hand, wasn't faring as well.

Although Tang San had recovered from his injuries after absorbing the remaining soul power of the Soul Douluo and Soul Sage, Shrek Academy was now shrouded in the shadow of being associated with evil soul masters.

When Yu Xiaogang learned of this, he immediately went to Spirit Hall City to plead with Bibi Dong.

In exchange for retrieving the Pope's Token, Bibi Dong helped clear Shrek Academy's name.

But people have always had their own sense of justice.

Even though Spirit Hall had cleared their name, the families of the slaughtered soul masters wouldn't let Shrek Academy off so easily.

In no time, Shrek Academy, which had once been somewhat famous in Suotuo City, became a pariah, like a rat scurrying through the streets.

Many who had planned to enroll in Shrek Academy now abandoned the idea.

After all, no one wanted to be classmates with evil soul masters.

Flender, seeing the academy he had spent tens of thousands of gold coins to reopen fall into such a state, was filled with helplessness and pain.

Now, he could only pin his hopes on Tang San and the others performing well in the Soul Master Tournament to restore Shrek Academy's reputation.

Fortunately, Tang San and Dai Mubai had made significant progress recently. Not only had Tang San broken through to level 40, but Dai Mubai had also reached level 45.

Ma Hongjun and Oscar had also successfully broken through to level 35.

With a few more Soul Elders from the academy, they would have enough participants for the tournament.

Thus, as Flender counted down the days on his fingers, the Soul Master Tournament finally began.

Flender had been anxiously waiting for this day, as the pressure on him as the dean was immense.

To secure a spot in the tournament, he had bet everything with the nobles of Suotuo City.

If Tang San and the others couldn't make it to the end, Shrek Academy would be in deep trouble.

The academy closing again would be the least of their worries. If Flender, who had signed a contract of servitude, were to be enslaved, it would be the end for him.

Flender knew all too well how ruthless those nobles could be in exploiting others.

This was one of the main reasons he had avoided working with nobles for so many years.

"..."

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!!"

Heaven Dou City, Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena.

As bursts of fireworks shot into the sky, dazzling displays of light erupted, signaling the start of the tournament.
