Chapter 279: Bragging
“Whether it is true or not, I need to get out of here as soon as possible and return to the empire to report this possibility!” Jing Hongchen thought to himself, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was extremely high.

According to his investigations during this period, Beibei is the only descendant of Moon who is still alive today. Although Minghui has not formally become Moon’s disciple, he has inherited all of Moon’s unique skills and can be considered one of the successors, and is highly regarded.

In addition, Minghui has a very high reputation both in the outer and inner courts.

For the sake of his great-grandson Beibei and Minghui, who has high hopes for him, it is worth it for Moon to escort him personally.

Honestly speaking, if Moon was really not there, Xuan Zi happened to be the team leader of this Soul Master Competition. Without the two pillar-level combat forces, he felt that this was an excellent time to attack Shrek Academy.

However, the empire’s current plans are more important.

It would be terrible if our house was robbed!

Thinking of this, he immediately made a plan to escape. Now that Moon and Xuan Zi were not here, it would not be difficult for him to leave with his ability.

On the other side, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

The Xiao Hongchen siblings have brought Xu Tianzhen to find Arthas.

“Arthas, just watch me, I will definitely defeat Minghui and help you avenge your previous shame!” Xu Tianzhen shouted as soon as they met.

Arthas just smiled and said, “Winning or losing is meaningless to me, and I hope you don’t take it too seriously. There are many things you can learn from Minghui, especially his understanding of the attributes of his martial soul, which has already broken free from the shackles of soul skills.”

“Besides that, there is also his combat experience, which you are currently lacking.”

“So, you think we can’t beat him!” Xu Tianzhen said somewhat unconvinced.

“Excuse me, but you have no chance of winning if we fight alone now.” Arthas was as straightforward as ever.

Xu Tianzhen’s mouth suddenly curled up.

Arthas ignored her and continued, offering a little comfort, “Your only hope of victory lies in teamfighting.”

“From what I have observed so far, the fighting power of the Soul Hall is mainly concentrated on Minghui, Wang Qiuer, and Jiang Nannan. The strength of the other players can only be considered average. This may be a point that can be targeted. In addition, several of Minghui’s martial soul fusion partners are not here, which also means that the team’s fighting power will not be improved too much at once, but you can.”

Based on his current identity and situation, he shouldn’t have known that Minghui could form a martial arts fusion technique with Wang Qiuer.

“Of course, the premise is that you can perform the martial soul fusion technique at the right time.” He said, turning his head to look at Xiao Hongchen and his sister, “You have already used the martial soul fusion technique in the last Soul Master Competition. As long as they are not stupid this time, they will definitely respond.”

“The variable here, and also your advantage, lies in the use of soul guides.”

Xu Tianzhen suddenly gained confidence and straightened his chest, “For this, we are quite well prepared this time!”

Meng Hongchen nodded slightly. His Majesty attached great importance to this competition and was determined to keep the champion in the Sun-Moon Empire. As a result, their two teams received strong support from Mingde Hall and were equipped with many advanced soul guides.

The key is that it has not been exposed yet.

“Princess Tian Zhen, how about our two teams rehearse again in the next two days?” Xiao Hongchen suggested.

“It’s a good opportunity to ask Arthas and the others for some pointers. More people means more ideas.”

As he spoke, he glanced at the oranges on the side.

“I think it’s okay!” Xu Tianzhen said decisively.

Xiao Hongchen turned around and said, “Arthas, Orange, Keke, you should have time, right?”

“I’m fine with either.” Orange said with a smile.

“Me too.” Ke Ke followed.

“Okay.” Arthas nodded. “However, I have never been on the battlefield, so I have no personal experience and cannot empathize with you. I cannot comment on your tactical arrangements. The only thing I can do for you is to give you some advice on combat experience and the use of soul guides.”

“That’s enough!” said Meng Hongchen.

“Then let’s go eat together first and start in the afternoon.” Xu Tianzhen said with a smile.

So, everyone rushed to the cafeteria together.

In the afternoon, Arthas instructed the two teams in actual combat and helped treat any injuries.

In the evening, I rushed to Qingse Hotel to continue participating in the Soul Instructor Competition.

Two days passed quickly.

In the morning, the quarterfinals of the Soul Master Competition officially started. The first match was between Shrek Academy and Xingluo Royal Academy. As expected, Shrek Academy won easily! In the afternoon, Mingdu Soul Instructor Academy played against Tianlongmen. The individual elimination round was relatively difficult, but the team battle was a big win!

The Tianlong Sect had considerable individual strength, but in the end they were unable to withstand the fierce fire from the Mingdu Soul Instructor Academy.

“Have times really changed?” Seeing this, Dilongmen’s leader Nan Shuishui couldn’t help but sigh.

“This is not a competition, it’s just a waste of money!” This is Nangong Yuner’s opinion.

Although she seldom uses soul guides, she still knows some of them. Some of them are very expensive to use.

“It must be the support of the royal family.” Ning Tian said, “It can be seen that the Sun-Moon Empire is determined to win the championship this time.”

“Hmph, you have to defeat us first!” Wu Feng snorted.

Minghui, the team leader, said, “If we really run into these two teams, everyone should be careful. We are still unaware of the types of soul guides developed by Mingde Hall. Who knows what soul guides these players have.”

“Just in case, it’s best for everyone to remain vigilant.”

“The captain is right.” Ning Tian nodded, “Just in case, we’d better be careful.”

Everyone nodded.

After the competition ended that day, I followed Minghui back to the hotel.

The next day, the competition continued. In the morning, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy fought against the Ao Jian Sect.

Wu Bifan, the captain of the Aojian Sect, is quite powerful. His understanding of the sword has reached the state of unity between man and sword. In the individual elimination match, he faced Xiao Hongchen in the first match and made Xiao Hongchen suffer a great defeat. As a last resort, Xiao Hongchen used the Dou Kai that he had never used.

“What kind of soul guide is this!” The onlookers outside the venue who didn’t know the value of it were all shocked.

“Isn’t this the Doukai developed by Arthas?” Huo Yuhao started to act.

“Damn it, Arthas, this traitor!” This immediately attracted verbal abuse from the soul masters of the major forces of the three former empires outside the field.

Xiao Hongchen, who was still standing on the field, sneered, “Oh, you didn’t take it seriously when he was here, but now you’re using moral blackmail on him after he’s gone!”

“We are ashamed of it!” he said sarcastically.

“Moreover, Arthas was able to develop Doukai because he studied at my Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. What does it have to do with Shrek Academy? What contribution did you three former empires make?”

“What qualifications do you have to criticize others?”

“That’s right!” The audience from the Sun and Moon Empire started to boo, and the scene was in chaos.

“Shrek is an academy, not a sect. Are you not allowed to let people graduate and find a better job somewhere else?”

“As far as I know, when Arthas chose to stay, he gave a copy of all his research results to that Fan Yu. He has already repaid the favor he owed to Shrek Academy. As for you, is he eating your rice or what?”

“Also, Arthas’ parents died at the hands of the Star Luo Empire soldiers. Why didn’t you care about his life or death at that time?” “How could this happen!?” Xu Jiujiu’s face changed slightly, and his eyes couldn’t help but look at Xuan Zi and others.

The audience from the Sun Moon Empire, especially the soul masters from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Mingdu Soul Master Academy, cursed more and more fiercely and loudly, soon drowning out the voices of the three original empires. After all, they were at home and had an absolute advantage in numbers.

Xu Tianran was very satisfied with what he saw, but after all, the occasion was not right, so he frowned and shouted, “Silence!”

The scene finally quieted down.

“Let the game continue.” Xu Tianran said calmly.

At the start of the next match, Xiao Hongchen cheered up and decided to vent his anger on the Tianlongmen players, beating them up one by one. However, in order to maintain his form, he only lasted three games. Meng Hongchen followed and poisoned all the remaining players.

If it weren’t for the face of the Sun-Moon Empire and the need to be polite, she wouldn’t want to provide the detoxification.

The morning competition came to an end.

Arthas left with Orange and Koko with an expressionless face.

Xu Jiujiu found everyone from Shrek Academy and asked them whether what the people from the Sun and Moon Empire said was true.

“It should be true.” Xuan Zi said, “As for the specific situation, I don’t know. As for Arthas, we at Shrek Academy only know that he is an orphan whose parents died in a war. This guy has a withdrawn personality and rarely communicates with others. I was able to learn about this because Arthas chose to stay in the Sun Moon Empire and the academy conducted a special investigation.”

“The soul guide Doukai he researched is indeed extremely valuable, and the academy attached great importance to it at the time.”

“It’s the army led by Duke Baihu.” Minghui continued, “I’ve sparred with him before, so we have some friendship.”

Huo Yuhao seemed to have thought of something and started making up stories on the spot, “I also know something. When I was communicating with Arthas at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, there was a female student named Orange under the instructor he was assigned to. According to Arthas, her parents also died in a war led by the White Tiger Duke. This may be one of the reasons why Arthas stayed.”

“It is indeed fate to meet someone with the same background as me in a foreign country.” Tang Ya said with some emotion.

Given her life experience, she can empathize with him.

“So, they are attracted to each other?” Xu Sanshi asked curiously.

“I don’t know about that.” Huo Yuhao said.

“Yuhao, now that you mentioned it, I seem to have seen that woman in the cafeteria.” He Caitou suddenly said.

“Does it look good?” Xu Sanshi asked subconsciously.

“It looks good.” He Caitou nodded, “It’s only slightly inferior to Nan Nan.”

“She is indeed as beautiful as a flower, no wonder Arthas was attracted to her.” Xu Sanshi nodded slightly.

Huo Yuhao and He Caitou couldn’t help but glance at Minghui.

“Don’t think too much. Arthas is a tech geek and has no interest in women.” Minghui said lightly.

“Who knows about this kind of thing?” Xu Sanshi didn’t believe it.

Minghui glanced at him and thought to himself that it doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not, as long as my wife believes it.

On the other side, Xu Jiujiu looked a little unhappy. She believed it, thinking that Dai Hao might be a jinx, and had unknowingly brought a potential strong enemy to the empire. Judging from the reaction of the soul masters of the Sun and Moon Empire just now, this man named Arthas must have a high reputation in Mingdu. And to be qualified to compete with Minghui, his own combat power must be high.

“Brother Minghui, how strong is he?” To confirm, she turned to look at Minghui.

“Very strong!” Minghui boasted, “If I hadn’t had the advantage in martial arts spirit, I might not have been his opponent at the time.”

“Anyway, I can’t beat him.” He Caitou said, “When we were at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, we once played a friendly match with the soul instructors of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. He beat all the level 6 soul instructors by himself.”

“At that time, he was just a Soul King.”

“Of course, Doukai’s successful development accounts for a large part of the credit.”

But this is also part of strength. Xu Jiujiu felt even more depressed and nodded slightly, “Thank you for telling me.”

After some polite exchanges, he turned and left with a heavy heart.

Minghui, Huo Yuhao, and Cai Tou looked at each other and smiled.

These three little rascals are really full of bad intentions, Xuanzi glanced at them and said so in his heart.

After Xu Jiujiu reported the matter of Arthas back to the country, he had reason to believe that the Xingluo royal family would put great pressure on the White Tiger Duke Dai Hao.

It is normal for casualties to occur in war, but since his soldiers killed civilians, Dai Hao should at least be charged with an unspoken crime.

in the afternoon.

The Soul Palace versus Mingdu Soul Instructor Academy.

“Nannan, you go first.” Minghui said without hesitation.

Jiang Nannan nodded and jumped onto the competition stage. On the other side, a handsome man jumped onto the stage.

“Hello, beautiful lady, my name is Lu Jun.” He greeted with a smile as soon as he came up.

“Jiang Nannan.” Jiang Nannan looked indifferent and spoke briefly.

Lu Jun suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

“Both sides get ready.” The referee’s voice came.

Lu Jun quickly half-crouched, ready to jump.

Seeing this, Jiang Nannan leaned down slightly and raised her left hand to place it in front of her neck.

“The game begins!” the referee shouted.

Jiang Nannan placed her left palm under her neck in a second, and the “button” on the collar between her collarbones instantly lit up with pink light, and then spread out pink scales, covering her upper body in just a blink of an eye. At this moment, light lit up behind her, and thin wings extended out.

“Battle armor!?” Lu Jun was startled, but he did not stop moving and immediately activated his own battle armor.

The opponent even used his battle armor, so he couldn’t hide anymore.

“Hmph, you keep cursing Arthas, but you’re still using the battle armor developed by Arthas?” Xiao Hongchen mocked again.

And it looks improved too.

“I guess Huo Yuhao and his people had communicated with Arthas when their relationship was still good,” he thought to himself.

The teammates who had heard of Arthas’s debate with the scholars in the court started to make a fuss.

“I have never seen such a shameless person!”

In the VIP seats, an old man’s face turned dark.

On the field, two figures, one pink and one red, shot into the air.

The sixth soul ring under Jiang Nannan’s feet lit up, and the little rabbit reappeared, turning into a ray of lightning and sinking into Jiang Nannan’s body. The latter’s body surface was suddenly surrounded by a layer of lightning, and the speed of the thin wings behind him flapped greatly, directly fanning out a phantom, and the flying speed increased greatly.

Custom-made in Alsace, must be top quality!
