Chapter 79 Pre-match Discussion
As the capital of the Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City is its political, cultural, and economic center. Having withstood the ravages of war, it holds the title of an imperial capital that will never fall in the country's history. 😝🍬 69ѕнⓊⓍ.ⓒỖм ✎♩
The competition will be held at Xingluo Square, in the heart of Xingluo City, making it convenient for the city's residents to watch the competition.
Not far to the east of Xingluo Square, in a luxurious conference room inside a seven-story hotel called Xinghuang.
Sitting at the head of the table was Wang Yan, with Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, and Ling Luochen, who were still pale, on his left. They had all suffered internal injuries, although they had recovered after medication and self-care.
After a long flight using the soul tool, the injuries of the three individuals have worsened, except for Ma Xiaotao, whose condition has improved somewhat. Dai Yueheng and Ling Luochen's injuries are likely to be exacerbated, and their recovery time may be quite long.
Across from Ma Xiaotao was Ye Nanxiao, who was frowning and looking somewhat impatient, seemingly unconcerned about the situation.
Wang Yan spoke first, "How did everyone rest yesterday? To be honest, the hotel's treatment was quite good."
Beibei asked worriedly, "Teacher, today is the last day for registration. What about the reinforcements from the academy?"
Before Wang Yan could speak, Ye Nanxiao interrupted him, saying, "Don't worry so much. We're going to win this competition."
Everyone looked at Ye Nanxiao, their eyes filled with deep confusion.
"Nanxiao, why are you so confident?" Dai Yueheng asked in confusion. Ye Nanxiao's style of doing things was never what Dai Yueheng expected.
"We come from Shrek Academy," Ye Nanxiao grinned.
Hearing Ye Nanxiao's bold words, everyone couldn't help but feel proud.
Wang Yan laughed and said, "Yes, don't worry, we're from Shrek Academy, so we have special privileges."
"What kind of privilege?" Huo Yuhao asked curiously.
"As the number one academy on the continent and the reigning champion for many years, Shrek Academy can fill in for our students no matter when they arrive," Wang Yan nodded.
"That's great! It will allow the senior students who arrive later to participate," Wang Dong said with a sigh of relief.
Afterwards, Wang Yan explained the competition's format and process to everyone in detail.
After Wang Yan finished speaking, he shifted his position and leaned back comfortably in his chair, saying, "As the defending champions, we are the first to perform."
Xu Sanshi asked curiously, "Teacher Wang, aren't you going to make any tactical plans?"
Wang Yan snorted irritably and said, "Deploy what? Are you insulting me or yourselves? Do we need to deploy anything against such an opponent? All of you, leave. Xiao Tao and the other two, and Nan Xiao, stay here. I'll find you some pills."
The seven members of the reserve team got up and went back to their rooms to rest. However, when Jiang Nannan walked out of the conference room, she glanced at Wang Yan with surprise. She knew that Ye Nanxiao's injuries were almost healed, and Ma Xiaotao was also almost recovered under the guidance of the soul power bond. Wang Yan's actions seemed to indicate that he wanted to send them away.
After all seven people had left, Wang Yan got up and closed the conference room door. The relaxed look on his face vanished instantly. He let out a long breath and sat back down at the head of the table, his expression now very serious.
Ma Xiaotao and the other two didn't look too good either. The failure in eliminating the evil spirit master meant that the championship of this competition might not go to Shrek Academy.
This made everyone feel bad.
Dai Yueheng sighed, "Teacher Wang, is there any point in comforting them like this? And Nanxiao, how can you be so confident? The students who can represent the academy in the competition must be the elites of the academy, with an average strength of Soul Master level. In tomorrow's elimination round, our opponents will definitely go all out."
Ye Nanxiao blinked and said with a hint of sarcasm, "When have I ever been afraid? Don't be so afraid."
Suppressing his anger, Dai Yueheng questioned, "How can you be so confident? Just because you recently broke through to Soul King?"
Dai Yueheng is currently at the level of a level 62 Soul Emperor, and he still feels somewhat superior to Ye Nanxiao, who has just broken through to the Soul King level.
Ye Nanxiao glanced at Dai Yueheng, ignoring the implication in Dai Yueheng's words. However, the hot-tempered Ma Xiaotao slammed her hand on the table and said, "If you don't say it like that, then don't fight tomorrow. What else can we do but believe them? Are you going to go or am I going to go?"
Dai Yueheng's face was gloomy, but since the target was Ma Xiaotao, he couldn't lash out.
Wang Yan quickly smoothed things over, saying, "I kept the three of you here to ask how long it will take for you to be able to rejoin the battle given your current injuries. I need the exact time."
Ma Xiaotao said, "If we go all out, it will probably take about three to five days."
Dai Yueheng frowned and said, "I need at least seventeen days."
Ling Luochen, who had been silent for a while, suddenly looked at Ye Nanxiao and asked, "Are you healed?"
Ye Nanxiao and Ma Xiaotao were injured while in a state of Martial Soul Fusion. Ma Xiaotao has almost recovered, so could it be that Ye Nanxiao has already recovered?
"That's about right, not much different from Sister Xiaotao, but I'm fine with going on stage," Ye Nanxiao said.
Ling Luochen said, "I was protected by Nanxiao's soul skill at the time, so my injuries were very minor, and it only took two or three days to heal."
Wang Yan's expression improved a bit, finally there was some good news, he said, "In other words, if all goes well, you can play around the third match of the knockout stage."
After a moment's thought, Wang Yan continued, "We can only place our hopes on Bei Bei and the others now. We will only have a chance to win if we enter the knockout stage. We need to keep the fact that we have no reinforcements a secret. Their confidence needs to be built up through victory."
After Wang Yan finished speaking, Ye Nanxiao got up, pushed open the door, and left. Wang Yan was a little puzzled by Ye Nanxiao's state today.

Ma Xiaotao felt something was off about Ye Nanxiao's behavior just now. Since she had a connection with Ye Nanxiao's martial soul, Ma Xiaotao was quite familiar with Ye Nanxiao's actions.
Just as Ma Xiaotao was about to chase after him to ask him something, Ye Nanxiao disappeared from the corridor as soon as Ma Xiaotao stepped out of the conference room.
"Something's strange," Ma Xiaotao muttered to herself.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong sat cross-legged with their palms pressed together, cultivating. In the other rooms, Bei Bei and the others were also making the most of their time to cultivate.
"Xue'er, what's wrong with me? Why do I have this inexplicable thought?" Ye Nanxiao couldn't quite put his finger on what the thought was, but he felt unusually agitated.
"Xiao'er, the mysterious bloodline within you is stirring. Although the movement isn't significant, it's still best to investigate it thoroughly," the Snow Emperor said solemnly.
"Could it be the influence of the previous evil spirit master incident? I didn't feel anything at the time?" Ye Nanxiao's expression was serious. If the evil spirit master had any special abilities that affected him, then things would be very troublesome.
"I'll lift a corner of the seal. Feel it. If you can't hold on, tell me immediately."
Ye Nanxiao randomly found an empty meeting room, locked the door, sat down cross-legged, and let his consciousness sink into the sea of his mind.
"Xiao'er, I'm about to begin." Xue Di and Ye Nanxiao floated in front of a huge iceberg in the center of the Sea of Spirit. Inside the iceberg was a ball of blood-red light, and faint blood lines sank into the seabed of the Sea of Spirit.
"Let's begin, Xue'er." Ye Nanxiao stroked the iceberg formed by the Snow Emperor's seal, feeling a trace of violent thoughts emanating from the blood-red light.
Snow Empress raised her hands toward the iceberg, her eyes turning ice blue.
The iceberg trembled slightly, and a crack the size of an adult appeared in its center. As soon as the crack appeared, blood mist gushed out and slowly approached Ye Nanxiao.
Ye Nanxiao remained enveloped in the blood mist, carefully sensing the thoughts his bloodline wanted to convey.
Xue Di kept a close eye on Ye Nanxiao to prevent any accidents from happening to him, but soon the blood mist returned from Ye Nanxiao's body into the crack.
Upon seeing this, Xue Di quickly closed the crack.
Seeing that Ye Nanxiao's expression was a bit strange, Xue Di asked, "You sensed it? What are you trying to say?"
She said she sensed there was delicious food nearby, so she got a little excited.
The Snow Empress looked at the ball of light inside the iceberg with a strange expression and asked, "Are you craving it?"
Ye Nanxiao nodded.
"Then go and look for it. Maybe it's some rare and precious treasure, a great tonic. You might even get lucky and have your bloodline evolve," the Snow Empress said with a smile.
"Do you think rare and precious herbs are as easy to find as cabbages?" Ye Nanxiao said irritably.
As his consciousness returned from the Sea of Spirit, Ye Nanxiao maintained his posture and carefully recalled the plot. Having lived in Douluo Continent for so many years, his related memories had long since faded away. Now he could only barely remember a few important plot points, let alone the details.
"This is Xingluo City. What kind of rare and precious things could there be here? If there were, they would have been picked up long ago. So the possibility of it being a rare and precious thing is not very high. If it's not a rare and precious thing, then what is the delicious food that the big fox is referring to?" Ye Nanxiao pondered.
In a conference room not far from Ye Nanxiao, two elderly men sat at the head of the table, with fourteen students sitting on either side. The students on the right generally looked older than those on the left.
The team sent by the Royal Soul Master Academy of the Sun Moon Empire consisted of a regular team and a reserve team prepared for five years from now.
A handsome young man standing next to the old man was quite angry. The young man was tall and slender, with a pair of bright blue eyes. His hands, which were resting on the table, were extremely white and long, with a jade-like color that even girls would find hard to possess.
Although the boy had a smile on his face, the arrogance deep in his eyes seemed to give him a sense of superiority over everyone else.
"Xiao Hongchen, you better behave yourself." A tall and burly student with short hair sitting opposite Xiao Hongchen said with a gloomy face.
Faced with Ma Rulong's warning, Xiao Hongchen smiled and said, "Brother Ma, I'm very honest, but you'd better work hard, otherwise, there won't be a place for you in Mingde Hall."
"You!" Ma Rulong's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he slammed his fist on the table and stood up. The old man at the head of the table glared at him and said in a deep voice, "Sit down."
After the old man finished explaining the rules of the competition, Xiao Hongchen yawned and said, "I have some insights, so I'll go back to cultivate first." After saying that, he got up and left, showing no respect to the two old men.
"I'm sorry, Master Ma, that's just how my brother is. Please forgive me." A young girl sitting next to Xiao Hongchen stood up and apologized to Master Ma. The girl's appearance was somewhat similar to Xiao Hongchen's, with delicate features, a pair of large ice-blue eyes, and long, straight silver hair all gathered on the right side and combed into a ponytail.
"Alright, Meng Hongchen," Old Ma said in a deep voice.
The girl ran out of the house to chase after her brother. As she passed by Ye Nanxiao's cultivation room, Ye Nanxiao had just finished his meditation and opened the door.
The two locked eyes, and Meng Hongchen's eyes lit up as she thought to herself, "So handsome! His hair is the same color as mine."
Ye Nanxiao was dressed in a Shrek Academy uniform, his silver-white hair casually tied into a ponytail at the back of his head, and a faint smile on his handsome face. Meng Hongchen could even clearly see her own reflection in Ye Nanxiao's eyes.
Ye Nanxiao sensed ice-attribute soul power from Meng Hongchen, and with her silver hair and blue eyes, he could guess the identities of the group that could move around on this floor.
Zhu Qing, the owner of the Ice Toad Martial Soul, is the Ice Poison Dream of the Mortal World.
