112: Go to Tiandou City

Chapter 112: Heading to Heaven Dou City

“Alright, get up. It’s time for us to go back,” Ye Wen said, calming his emotions.

“Mhm.” Zhu Zhuqing gently responded, walking with a cat-like grace, her hips swaying. She and Ye Wen tidied up and then departed.

Although nothing happened that night, Zhu Zhuqing’s affection for Ye Wen rapidly increased. It seemed she had already fallen for Ye Wen.

Half a day later, the two finally returned to Monster Academy.

Upon their return, Zhu Zhuqing went shopping with Snow Empress and Bing Di.

Ye Wen, Evil Tiger, Da Ming, and Er Ming also organized a trip to Beihai City to relax and have fun. So, the group headed into Beihai City together.

They ate at restaurants, played around, and soaked in hot springs.

Just like that, the leisure time quickly passed, and the time came to the last ten days before the competition.

The Monster Academy group finally set off for Heaven Dou City, the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, to participate in the Soul Master Competition.

Terror Knight Scott acted as the leader for Monster Academy, guiding Ye Wen and the other twelve to Heaven Dou City.

Many days later, the group finally arrived at Heaven Dou City, the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire.

As the capital of the Empire, Heaven Dou City was undoubtedly a super first-tier metropolis on this continent. Its prosperity far surpassed any city Ye Wen and his companions had visited, including Tian Shui City, which couldn't compare at all.

“Wow, is this Heaven Dou City? It’s so lively!” Naer exclaimed with novelty.

“Indeed, it’s much better than Beihai City, where we are from.” Snow Empress nodded. All the girls were quite interested in the place, and they were already thinking about going shopping: “Sisters!!”

“Hey, hey, hey, you guys! Do you only know how to shop all day?” Ye Wen quickly interrupted, then said, “Don’t rush. Let’s find a hotel to settle in first. After that, you can go wherever you want to play. Anyway, there are still four days until the competition begins.”

“Okay~”

Because of the Soul Master Competition period, and with the preliminary rounds being held in the Heaven Dou City Soul Arena, Heaven Dou City had been extremely lively recently.

Countless people and Spirit Masters from other cities came here to watch the competition, so hotels were basically fully booked.

Ye Wen found it very difficult to find a decent hotel closer to the competition venue. It took him two full hours to find one that was reasonably close and had acceptable conditions.

“Gentlemen, follow me, follow me.”

The hotel greeter led the Monster Academy group towards the front desk.

At the same time, another group of academy teams, also here for the competition, were walking towards the hotel front desk, but Ye Wen and his group arrived a step earlier.

When that academy team was about to book rooms, all the rooms had just been taken by Monster Academy.

The person leading the group immediately became displeased. As the front desk was processing Monster Academy’s booking, that person said in a deep voice, “Wait!”

“We want this entire suite of rooms!”

The other party directly demanded to take them.

Ye Wen then noticed this group. They were clearly another academy team here to compete. Their uniforms were red suits and black pants, somewhat resembling Canghui Academy?

The old man who spoke first, demanding the rooms, had short white hair and a rather sinister appearance. He clearly wasn't a good person.

If this was Canghui Academy, then the middle-aged man speaking was most likely Shi Nian, the leader of Canghui Academy, a Spirit Saint who possessed a ten-thousand-year-level head Spirit Bone, the Illusion Wisdom Skull.

However, Ye Wen couldn’t be sure yet.

Ye Wen didn't care what academy or who the other party was. He directly retorted, “What do you want? Don’t you understand the principle of first come, first served, after living for most of your life?”

Shi Nian’s face turned cold, and his eyes narrowed slightly. If someone was going to challenge him, it should be an adult from this group, like Scott. How dare a junior be so presumptuous?

“Kid, are you looking for death?” Shi Nian’s eyes held a hint of killing intent. He was a ruthless, malicious, and cold-blooded individual who had killed countless geniuses. He had no idea how many geniuses had died by his hand.

Ye Wen dared to be so arrogant towards him, and Shi Nian already harbored murderous intent.

Ye Wen smiled, “What, you want to fight?”

“Heh.” Even if Shi Nian wanted to kill, he naturally wouldn’t act so openly. He sneered, “You people must also be here for the Soul Master Competition, right?”

“That’s right, Monster Academy.”

“Monster Academy?”

Shi Nian and the students of Canghui Academy were stunned after hearing this, and they asked each other, “Monster Academy? Have you heard of this academy?”

“No!”

“Never heard of it. They probably crawled out of some mountain ditch, right?”

“Hahahaha! I thought you were some powerful academy. Monster Academy? Never even heard of it.”

“That’s right! They must be a trash team, just here to make up the numbers!”

“Monster Academy, haha, I’m dying of laughter!!”

The Canghui students suddenly burst into laughter, mocking them in various ways, unaware that this team before them would be the biggest dark horse in this year’s Soul Master Competition.

In the Soul Master Competition, powerful teams are usually well-known, such as the Five Element Academy. Any team with high recognition tends to be quite strong.

Although there are always some unknown, first-time, new academies participating each year, they are almost always at the bottom, eliminated in the first round, acting as cannon fodder for other teams.

There has almost never been an example of an unknown academy suddenly becoming the biggest dark horse.

Therefore, upon hearing of a completely unknown Monster Academy, they immediately became contemptuous and didn't take them seriously.

“What about you? What academy are you from?” Bing Di asked with a cold face.

“We are students of Canghui Academy!” several students said proudly.

Although Canghui Academy couldn't compare to the Five Element Academy, it was considered a next-tier academy after the Five Element Academy in terms of strength, making it a team with decent reputation and power.

When Ye Wen heard that they were indeed Canghui Academy, he immediately became excited.

“So, this old man is Shi Nian, the leader of Canghui Academy.” Ye Wen eyed Shi Nian with a hint of greed.

He didn't mind killing for Spirit Bones now.

Shi Nian sneered, “I’m willing to pay double the price for your suite. If you know what’s good for you, give it to us. Otherwise, if we meet on the Soul Master Competition stage, our Canghui Academy won’t show any mercy.”

“Heh heh, then go ahead and hit us hard. Let’s see if you have the ability to do it. Get lost. We’ve booked this suite. If you’ve got the guts, come at us with force.” Ye Wen scoffed, deliberately provoking his opponent.

“You!! This kid!” Shi Nian’s eyes instantly flared with killing intent.
