Chapter 293: Shrek Three Musketeers
Douluo Continent, Tiandou City.
"Brother, why is Tiandou City so deserted today? There are almost no people on the streets." Walking on the streets of Tiandou City where the streets seemed to be deserted, Long Kui's voice rang in Xiao Se's ears.
"It's probably some kind of competition like the Alchemist Conference held in the Douqi Continent's capital." Xiao Se carefully recalled the original work. Now the little cat is fourteen years old, and it's about time that the continent-wide high-level soul master elite competition is held.
"It seems so, brother. There are a lot of people gathered in the southwest direction." Long Kui responded.
"Let's go and take a look. Xue'er is the crown princess of the Tiandou Empire. She might be there for such a grand event." As he spoke, Xiao Se spread his evil god wings, flapped his wings, and flew away in the direction he sensed.
The opening ceremony of the Tiandou Empire competition area of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition was held in Tiandou City.
As the grandest competition in the world of soul masters in Douluo Continent, it attracts not only soul masters but also the royal family, nobles, and common people. Every citizen in Tiandou City and even the surrounding areas regards this competition as the grandest festival.
The opening ceremony was held at the renovated Tiandou Soul Fighting Arena in Tiandou City. More than a month ago, all the tickets for the opening ceremony were sold out in advance so that people could watch the participating young soul masters up close.
At this moment, the stands of the Tiandou Soul Fighting Arena were packed with people.
The participating college teams entered the venue one after another. They were all dressed in uniform and wore the exclusive uniforms of their respective colleges.
Among the many participating teams, the Shrek Academy team was the most bizarre. They wore shit-green uniforms with all kinds of small advertisements printed on the chest and back. It was as shameful and disgusting as it could be.
It can be said that the Shrek team uniform is extremely weird. Even the Shrek students who put on this uniform couldn't help but lower their heads, for fear of being recognized by others in the future.
"What kind of academy is that? Did they crawl out of a cesspool?"
"Haha, I know the two fat guys in the front and the ordinary-looking guy. They are Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Tang San, known as the Shrek Three Musketeers. It is said that when the three of them got drunk, they not only fought with bayonets themselves but also dragged in the spirit master Yu Xiaogang, who is famous for his 'invincible theory'."
"What a master, he is just a fraud. His so-called ten core theories of martial spirits are either common sense, plagiarized, or wrong. He is a piece of trash. I don't object to him being a master of bayonet fighting, and he can do it with his students, and he can do it with some tricks."
"Shh, be careful, don't let anyone hear them. They are soul masters, after all, maybe they are practicing some powerful martial soul fusion skills."
"Yes, that's right. A bayonet-fighting martial arts fusion technique."
Listening to the endless ridicule and mockery around them, the Shrek team members were so ashamed that they dared not look directly at anyone. Especially Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Ma Hongjun, their faces turned pale, and Yu Xiaogang, who was sitting in the Shrek rest area, simply shut himself off.
At some point, thanks to the spread of the story by those with ulterior motives, the glorious deeds of Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Ma Hongjun fighting with Yu Xiaogang with bayonets after drinking were spread throughout Tiandou City, becoming a topic of conversation among people after dinner.
"Xiaogang, don't take it too seriously. When these little monsters win the game, I believe everyone will shut up." Flanders patted Yu Xiaogang's shoulder and comforted him. Although it was comforting, the arc of his mouth could not be concealed. Although he wanted to laugh, he had to hold it back because Erlongmei was still beside him. Although Liu Erlong was also laughing.
"I know." Yu Xiaogang nodded heavily, and his already stiff face barely managed a smile that was uglier than crying. Flanders was right. As long as the Shrek team won, everyone would shut up. As the teacher of Tang San, the soul of the Shrek team, he would wash away the past shame and become famous in the world of soul masters.
In the front row of the VIP seats, Spirit Hall's Platinum Bishop Salas and Seven Treasures Glazed Sect's Patriarch Ning Fengzhi started their daily quarrel again. The Heaven Dou Empire's Emperor Xue Ye sat between them and acted as a troublemaker.
Sitting behind them was Xue Qinghe, the Crown Prince of Tiandou, who was disguised by Qian Renxue, and Prince Xuexing, who was called shit by Flanders.
"Master Ning, I heard that your daughter is also in Shrek Academy. How could you push your daughter into the fire pit?" Platinum Bishop Salas asked Ning Fengzhi with a smile.
"The faculty of Shrek Academy is quite strong. Its dean and vice-dean are Flanders and Liu Erlong, who were one of the Golden Triangle back then. They are both powerful soul masters. Why does Bishop Salas say that?" Ning Fengzhi said with a faint smile.
The reason why he was willing to let Ning Rongrong continue to stay in Shrek Academy, in addition to wanting to change the latter's eldest daughter's temper, another purpose was to observe the existence of Tang San, who was suspected to be the "possessor".
As a result, Ning Rongrong doesn't take the serious business to heart but instead spreads some bad things about Shrek, such as Oscar was defeated by Dai Mubai as soon as he entered school, Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai are the Phoenix and the Ape Tiger of the Goulan, Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Yu Xiaogang fought with bayonets after drinking, and so on.
Ning Fengzhi even regretted leaving Ning Rongrong at Shrek Academy.
Salas raised the corner of his mouth: "Both Flanders and Liu Erlong are powerful soul masters, and I have no objection. But there are more rotten fish and shrimp inside. Like that guy who is still a sissy at his age, Yu Xiaogang, the master of plagiarism who fights with students on the bayonet, and Shrek's three swordsmen, who are known to the outside world for fighting with the bayonet, are all people with bad thoughts and actions. Isn't Sect Master Ning worried about your daughter's golden body? "
"Bishop Salas doesn't need to worry about this." Ning Fengzhi replied calmly. The other party was simply talking about something else. He was indeed worried about Ning Rongrong's safety, so he specifically looked for Flanders and Liu Erlong and finally moved his residence to Liu Erlong's cabin in the woods. Only then did he feel at ease.
"Hehe, I'm just giving you a reminder." Salas curled his lips. The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has always been at odds with the Spirit Hall. His purpose is to disgust Ning Fengzhi.
Soon, the opening ceremony started with speeches by three heavyweights: Emperor Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi, and Salas, and the preliminaries officially began.
Just like in the original novel, Shrek Academy faced off against the second team of Tiandou Royal Academy.
The Shrek Academy players are Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Tai Long, Jiang Zhu, Jing Ling, Huang Yuan, one Soul Sect and six Soul Lords.
Yes, although Tang San no longer had the magic grass, he still broke through to the Soul Sect.
Ever since he witnessed Xiao Se's power two years ago, he was stimulated and temporarily put aside his research on hidden weapons and worked hard to improve his cultivation. In the past two years, relying on the special power of Xuan Tian Gong and continuous meditation practice, he finally raised his soul power to level 40 not long ago and was promoted to the Soul Sect. However, without the immortal grass and the Eight Spider Lance, his fourth soul ring was destined to be lost for ten thousand years.
As Dai Mubai's soul power increased, the evil fire in his body became more vigorous. In the past two years, he only raised his soul power from level 33 to level 35. He almost gave up the hope of competing for the throne of the Starfall Empire.
As for Ma Hongjun, ever since he was stabbed by Dai Mubai and Tang San, he became estranged from Tang San and Dai Mubai and worked hard to become stronger. Although he no longer had the magic grass, his soul power still broke through to level 35, and he eventually surpassed Dai Mubai and became equal to him.
