86: Chapter 86 Arrival at Wuhun City, Xiao Wu and Tang San Appear

At night, Shrek Academy held a welcome party for Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang.

Even if they didn't join, Su Ling was confident in winning.

As for why Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang came to join, no one asked in detail, after all, Su Ling said it was his invitation.

Joining was a good thing; for Su Ling, Huo Wu was one of his own, and she could also perform a Fusion with him.

Including Huo Wu, there were now seven women in Shrek who could perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with him.

They were Liu Erlong, Zhu Zhuxin, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Jiang Zhu, Feng Yuer, and Huo Wu.

Added to himself, if they all used the Martial Soul Fusion Skill together, what kind of power would it reach?

Su Ling wasn't sure, but with himself and Liu Erlong as a base, plus the others, they could at least reach the Titled Douluo level.

At night, after dinner, Su Ling went to Liu Erlong's place.

[Ding... Congratulations to the Host for completing an interaction with the goddess Liu Erlong, obtained purple treasure chest * 1]

Purple treasure chest?

After getting the chest, Su Ling returned to his room in the second half of the night.

He looked at the System page.

[Remaining unopened chests: white * 79, yellow * 22, purple * 18, black * 4, red * 2, golden * 1]

Now he had accumulated two red treasure chests and one golden treasure chest, and all three chests remained unopened.

However, heading to Spirit City, quick ways to raise Soul Power were hard to find, but Su Ling was confident in raising his Soul Power to level sixty-five by the time they arrived at Spirit City with the help of the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Pill.

"Forget it, I'll open them when I'm in urgent need."

Su Ling decided to keep the treasure chests for now; perhaps these chests could offer hope in a crisis.

A night passed. The next day, after Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang arrived, they had a practice session with everyone.

After just one practice, the next morning, Shrek gathered at the designated spot in Heaven Dou City and headed to Spirit City together.

Due to Qian Renxue's special care, Shrek was right next to the Crown Prince.

During this process, there was a small interlude: the Blazing Academy team seemed dissatisfied with Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang leaving, looking at them with hostility.

This made Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang uncomfortable, but they didn't regret the decision.

Especially Huo Wu, because she was willing to give up everything for Su Ling.

As for Huo Wushuang, he was willing to do anything for his sister.

This relationship outweighed everything else.

In the morning, the four kingdoms and one duchy, totaling ten teams, plus the five teams from the qualifiers, and the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team, sixteen teams in total, escorted by five hundred Royal Knights of the Heaven Dou Empire, marched out of Heaven Dou City.

"Brother Su, I think this championship belongs to you. There should be no one under twenty-five in this World who can threaten you."

On Qian Renxue's Crown Prince carriage, Su Ling and Qian Renxue sat opposite each other.

Shortly after leaving Heaven Dou City, Su Ling was invited by Qian Renxue to share a carriage. How could Su Ling refuse her invitation?

"Brother Qinghe, that's not necessarily true. Look at previous years, didn't Spirit Hall Academy win the championship? Moreover, this time the venue is in Spirit City." Su Ling said.

Qian Renxue said: "And what does that have to do with it?"

Su Ling said: "I suspect it matters. Spirit Hall wouldn't slap its own face. If another team wins the championship in Spirit City, what would be the point of holding it there?"

"So I think holding it in Spirit City might indicate that Spirit Hall Academy has absolute confidence in taking this championship."

"Su Ling, what you say makes some sense. That possibility cannot be ruled out." Qian Renxue replied.

She actually knew a bit about the Bloodline within Spirit Hall in Spirit City; this generation was indeed different from the past.

"But I still believe you and your team can achieve victory this time. I'm rooting for you." Qian Renxue said with a smile.

"Then I'll take your kind words, Brother Qinghe." Su Ling said.

Inside Qian Renxue's carriage, she had a lot to say, and sometimes asked Su Ling questions.

She found that Su Ling was not only smart but also had unique insights into the questions she posed, forcing her to look at him with new eyes.

[Ding... Qian Renxue favorability + 2, obtained white treasure chest * 1]

Just after leaving Qian Renxue's carriage, information came into Su Ling's mind.

Qian Renxue's favorability increased by 2 points, now at 19. It must be said, her favorability is truly hard to grind.

After Su Ling left, Qian Renxue was thinking about the future.

"Su Ling must be used by me, otherwise he might become the greatest enemy of my life."

After a long time, Qian Renxue reached this conclusion.

Su Ling returned to the team to continue the journey.

According to the original plot, they would encounter an assassination attempt by Spirit Hall people on the road, but for over twenty days, all the way to Spirit Hall, there was no movement; it was very safe.

During these twenty-plus days, Qian Renxue invited Su Ling almost every day. Spending more time together, her favorability increased quite a bit.

Ten points of favorability gave four white treasure chests and two yellow treasure chests.

Of course, besides Qian Renxue's favorability, there was Meng Yiran's. Meeting Su Ling on the road led to some interactions, favorability increased by 6 points, obtaining two white treasure chests and one purple treasure chest.

Then there was Ye Lingling's favorability increasing by 3 points, Dugu Yan increasing by 4 points. These two also provided three white treasure chests and one yellow treasure chest.

Shortly after Su Ling's group successfully entered Spirit City, Xiao Wu and Tang San arrived as well.

"Brother, you've become like this, everyone surely won't recognize you." Xiao Wu said, looking at Tang San beside her, very happy.

After all, Tang San was no longer his plain-looking self. In this nearly one year, Tang San had been cultivating, raising his Soul Power, and under Tang Hao's guidance, he had advanced by leaps and bounds.

He even got an opportunity to Breakthrough to Spirit King, and his appearance changed.

Similar to her, Tang San was also a child born of a Spirit Beast and a human.

"Xiao Wu, I didn't expect I could improve so much in this one year. This is all Dad's credit. This time, I will never lose to Su Ling again." Tang San said with a serious face.

"Let's go. We just saw the Heaven Dou Empire team arrive. Let's go find Teacher and the others." Tang San said.

Inside Spirit City, various teams gathered. Fortunately, the reception in Spirit City was good; each team had a separate resting area, and the major Empires were placed together.

After Su Ling entered Spirit City, the System notification sound rang continuously.

These were all from goddesses within Spirit City. In less than an hour of entering the city, it had rung no less than ten times.

However, most were people he didn't know, and the highest goddess comprehensive value was only 92.

Not long after moving in, Flender gathered everyone.

Shrek Academy team now had fourteen people.

Su Ling was level sixty-five. Zhu Zhuxin, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Huo Wu—these four's Soul Power had all been raised to level fifty-two with Su Ling's help.

Then there was Jiang Zhu at level forty-seven, Huo Wushuang at level forty-five, Ma Hongjun and Oscar at level forty-four.

Tai Long at level forty-two, Jing Ling and Huang Yuan at level thirty-nine. Additionally, there were two level thirty-six Spirit Elders, Xu Yanyan and Luo Sha.

More than ten people gathered together, Flender was very satisfied, and a smile couldn't help but overflow from his mouth.

"Everyone, the finals are about to begin. Regarding the finals, I will state the tournament format and rules again." Flender began.

"This time in the finals, there are a total of thirty-three teams. The two great Empires each have fifteen teams that qualified normally, plus three seeded teams. They don't need to participate in the qualifiers and promotion tournament; they enter the finals directly."

"You have come into contact with one of the three teams, which is Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Another is Star Luo Royal Academy. Everyone should be careful of this Star Luo Royal Academy; there are people you know inside."

"Then, besides these thirty-two teams, there is the Spirit Hall Academy team. This team is very strong; the championship is almost always theirs. The academies of the Heaven Dou Empire have never won a championship yet."

"Dean, this time it will be ours." Ning Rongrong giggled.

Flender said: "I am happy you have confidence, but you cannot underestimate the enemy. I just heard some information about this Spirit Hall Academy team outside. They are very strong, said to have surpassed previous years."

"Don't worry, we have Brother Su, we definitely won't be afraid." Oscar said.

"Hmm, I am at ease with Su Ling."

"Good, let's talk about the tournament format."

"The finals only have five rounds in total, the time duration is not long. There is one day between each round. Only before the fifth round will there be three days for adjustment."

"In the first round, the three seeded teams will have a bye. In this round, the thirty teams will have to eliminate fifteen. This is not like the qualifiers where the total ranking is calculated based on points; once you lose, there is absolutely no chance, so everyone must give their all in every match."

"In the second round, there are eighteen teams in total, but this time two teams will have a bye, which are the first-place teams from the two great Empires' promotion tournaments. The remaining sixteen teams will eliminate eight."

"In the third round, the second-place teams from the two great Empires' promotion tournaments have a bye. We ranked third in the promotion tournament, so this third-round bye won't fall to us, unless the first and second place teams have already been eliminated, then it extends to our team. Then the other eight teams continue to eliminate four."

"By the fourth round, there are no more bye opportunities. Six teams will eliminate three."

"In the final fifth round, the three teams will decide the strongest team according to the promotion tournament rules to directly enter the finals. The remaining two teams will have a seven-on-seven team battle, and the winner will enter the final championship match."

"Does everyone understand?" Flender looked around after speaking.

"Understood!" Everyone said in unison.

"Alright, since everyone understands, go back and continue resting. There are three days left until the finals begin. Everyone must prepare well during these three days."

"Yes, Dean Flender."

Meanwhile! Not far from the gathering place of the Heaven Dou Empire academies, Tang San and Xiao Wu successfully reunited with Great Master Yu Xiaogang.

"Little San, how did you become like this?" Yu Xiaogang was astonished to see the changed Tang San.

"So Little San, you can also be this good-looking." Dai Mubai spoke, but his voice was a bit thin and sharp, looking at Tang San's current appearance, as if he had discovered a treasure.

Tang San said: "My Blue Silver Grass Spirit evolved once, so this change occurred, or rather, it is the Awakening of my Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Bloodline."

Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang understood immediately.

Since they appeared at the same time, it meant Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was not simple. And now that Tang San's Spirit had evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor, it meant his conjecture was correct.

"Little San, congratulations. Then what level is your Soul Power now?" Yu Xiaogang said.

"Teacher, my Soul Power is level fifty-two, and Xiao Wu has also improved to level forty-four." Tang San said.

"Good, very good. Adding Dai Weisi's level fifty-one Soul Power, this time in the competition we definitely won't fear any team, including Su Ling." Yu Xiaogang said.

"Yes, Shrek only has Su Ling who is very strong, the others are probably at the Spirit Elder stage now, we can definitely defeat them." Dai Mubai said.

"Hmm!" Tang San nodded.

"Little San, you left too fast at that time. My and Dai Mubai's injuries, see if there is any way." Yu Xiaogang said.

Tang San paused, only then remembering that in that battle, Su Ling had crippled Yu Xiaogang and Dai Mubai again.

"Teacher, Mubai, let's go back to the room. My healing and recovery ability is stronger than before, I should be able to help you."

"Xiao Wu, you stay outside." Tang San said.

"Okay!" Xiao Wu pouted, she also guessed what Tang San was going to do.

Not long after, strange sounds came from inside.

"Little San, it feels so good, continue, don't stop..."

"Teacher, how about this?"

"Continue, continue..."

Xiao Wu shook her head helplessly and could only walk out.

"By the way, I'll go find Brother Su and Zhuqing and the others, everyone should have arrived." Xiao Wu didn't want to hear those sounds in the room, so she walked out directly to inquire about the Spirit Master teams from the Heaven Dou Empire.

Su Ling had just finished cultivating for a while when Ning Rongrong came to knock on her door.

It turned out Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing and others were shopping in Spirit City and happened to meet Xiao Wu who was inquiring about Shrek's whereabouts, so they came back together to find Su Ling.

"Brother Su, look who this is?" Xiao Wu, behind Ning Rongrong, looked at Su Ling with complex eyes. After all, at this moment Xiao Wu's favorability had reached 82, according to the System's introduction, she had fallen in love with Su Ling.

"Brother Su, long time no see." Xiao Wu said.

Su Ling didn't stand on ceremony, went up and gave Xiao Wu a hug.

Xiao Wu didn't refuse either, just let Su Ling hold her, and the others were also standing there watching, with smiles on their faces, after all, they had also hugged when they met just now.

Just by this hug from Su Ling, Xiao Wu's heartbeat accelerated.

What is wrong with me?

[Ding... Xiao Wu favorability + 3, obtained purple treasure chest * 2, black treasure chest * 1]

Just by hugging, she gained three points of favorability. It seems Xiao Wu has been missing him very much in the past year, and this hug let her feelings flow out.

"Everyone come in and sit for a while." Su Ling invited.

"Alright, actually there is nothing to shop for in this Spirit City. Xiao Wu, you must tell us how you spent these last one or two years, and if Tang San bullied you!" Ning Rongrong said.
