Captain, what did you do when you were out last night? Whys she here this early in the morning? Xie Xie had instantly connected the conversation between Tang Wulin and Gu Yue with the situation before their eyes.
Get lost. Tang Wulin glared at him. He stood up and walked out.
There was someone else standing beside Dai Yuner. He had a slender build and handsome looks. When he saw that Tang Wulin walking toward him was obviously a few years younger than himself, Dai Yueyan felt as if his eyes had opened up as he gave his little sister a sidelong glance.
He thought to himself, No wonder little sister cant get over this guy. Hes really attractive. From the outside, hes flawless. Plus, he came from Shrek Academy. Its no surprise little sister is interested in him.
What business do you have here, princess? Also, dont you think that its unbecoming for one of royal blood such as yourself to be screaming and shouting in public? Tang Wulin truly did not have a good impression of this princess.
Dai Yuner scoffed. Whats so unbecoming about it? I came as an ordinary person, not as a member of the royal family. Im not here representing the empire.
Then what reason does the princess have for calling me out? asked Tang Wulin.
Dai Yuner said, Tang Wulin, would you care to make a bet with me?
Thats it? Tang Wulin raised his brows and asked.
Yup, Dai Yuner nodded vigorously.
I dont. The princess may take her leave, Tang Wulin turned around and left.
You... Dai Yuner felt as if she had just landed a punch on cotton wool. She was so infuriated that her small face went pale.
Standing beside her, a hint of a smile flashed across the bottom of Dai Yueyans eyes. This young man was interesting! No wonder Yuner was forced to concede defeat to him. This was quite intriguing...
Tang Wulin, stand there and dont move. Dai Yuner took two quick steps. She reached out her hand and made to grab Tang Wulins arm.
Tang Wulin swayed his slightly and evaded her grasp. May the princess have some self-respect. It is improper for a man and a woman to touch so freely.
Tang Wulin, I really want to kill you right now! Dai Yuner said through gritted teeth.
Tang Wulin spoke with an upright air, Your Highness, should I interpret that as a threat from you toward a diplomatic envoy?
Dai Yuner was already at the limits of her temper. She turned to look at Dai Yueyan. Fourth brother, look at how despicable he is. Why arent you helping me?
Dai Yueyan walked over feeling somewhat exasperated. He looked at Tang Wulin with a calm expression. An unseen pressure was immediately released from his body.
Tang Wulin turned around. Fourth brother? Dai Yuners brother would naturally be a prince of the Star Luo Empire.
Hello, I am Dai Yueyan. Dai Yueyans simple greeting did not include the introduction of his title. Hence, Tang Wulin did not feel an instant dislike for him.
I see. The princess went home and complained. Do you have anything to say on the matter? In any case, I dont think Ive ever done anything to the princess before, said Tang Wulin with a smile.
Dai Yueyans heart skipped a beat. Under the pressure of his own domineering presence, this boy was surprisingly unfazed. From that alone, he could already determine his overall cultivation base.
Good day, Tang Wulin. The truth is my little sister meant no harm. She only greatly admired the grand name of Shrek Academy as the best academy on the Continent. Thats why she wanted to have an exchange and compare notes under the name of a wager. Thats all.
Oh? Tang Wulins heart fluttered slightly. This fourth princes style was much better than the little girl. There were no loopholes in his speech.
Then how does the prince wish us to have this exchange and comparing of notes? asked Tang Wulin.
Dai Yueyan said, I heard that all of you are also participating in this years Continental Young High-Ranking Soul Masters Elite Competition. What a coincidence, my companions, little sister, and I also wished to participate in this years competition. I believe that well meet each other in the competition in the near future.
Dai Yuner continued, Whether its the solo competition, paired competition or the team competition, as long as you guys can win once, then well count it as your win. Especially the team competition, arent you guys from Douluo Continent, the greatest advocates of this? Well bet on the winning and losing of the team competition. Do you dare make the bet?
Tang Wulin shrugged. Didnt I already tell you the answer just now? This is your home ground. There are a lot of things which you guys can do. Why would I ever want to make a bet with you? Also, Your Highness, gambling is not really an honorable activity. As a member of the royal family, you should make yourself an example for others.
Youre scared! Is everyone at Shrek Academy as timid as a mouse like you? Dai Yuner sneered.
Tang Wulins brows furrowed together slightly. Im only speaking for myself. I cant represent the academy. If youre that bored, why dont you go back and do some cultivation? With these words, he turned around and returned to the breakfast hall. He had not finished his meal.
Dai Yuner was enraged. She almost ran up to him, but she was pulled back by Dai Yueyan.
Thats enough, little sister.
Fourth brother, why arent you helping me? Dai Yuner said with an angry expression.
Daii Yueyan shook his head in frustration. Little sister, youre not your usual self. You have a Spirit System martial soul. Youve always been calm. Why are you so impulsive today? Acting so rashly wont solve the problem. This young fellow from Shrek Academy is very interesting. Well take it slow. Theres no rush.
When she heard Dai Yueyans words, Dai Yuner was taken aback. He was right. Since when did she turn this reckless? Normally, she would be the one playing the others, so why had she been played by someone else?
Well meet them in the competition. Dai Yueyan patted his sisters shoulder and pulled her away from the venue.
He was definitely not someone who would leverage his own position to bully others. If he wanted to avenge his little sister, he would do it fairly and openly.
It seems that this princess has taken a liking to you! Yue Zhengyu said to Tang Wulin with an expression that was delighting in his misfortune.
Tang Wulin ignored him and carried on with his meal.
But thats alright as well. If you dont have any pressure, then this competition would have been meaningless, no? Yue Zhengyu laced his hands behind his back and looked to be at ease.
The team battle. Because Gu Yue had refused to take part in the battle, the seven others would participate in the contest. The team battle required one substitute contestant at the time of registration, so they had to list Gu Yue as such. She would have to be present at the competition grounds.
The appreciation of the team battles was evident in the amount of human traffic outside the Star Luo Coliseum. Compared to the two days before this, the crowd was noticeably thinner.
Tang Wulin had heard that the reason that the Star Luo Empire citizens did not like team battles was because they thought that such battles were too chaotic. Ordinary people could never hope to observe it clearly. When one thought about it, it actually made sense.
The solo competitions were one against one. Even normal people could see the action. Team battles confused the eyes. Although they had higher technical content, they were not really as satisfying as watching a one-against-one match.
They went into the competition grounds and entered the waiting area to have a look at the order of their participation.
At that moment, the waiting area was already packed with contestants. Although there were not as many teams as the two competitions before this, more people took part in one match of a team battle!
Every team was eight members strong.
Tang Wulin and the others quickly found the order of their participation. Team battles required a larger area, so only five competitions could be consecutively held within the coliseum.
Tang Wulin and the others were the third team to battle. Their position was still slightly on the early side. They would not have to wait too long.
Just when they had confirmed the order, suddenly, the noisy waiting area abruptly quietened down.
The sudden change also slightly stunned the people from Shrek Academy. They instinctively turned their heads and looked.
At the entrance of the waiting area, a group of people was slowly making their way in. There were eight of them in total. All of them wore crimson clothing. There was a black picture on their chest that looked somewhat strange. It had an overall round shape, with an opening on one side, like a huge mouth. It displayed its sharp teeth and looked impressive in its domineering manner.
The people from Monster Academy have arrived, someone in the crowd whispered. The words managed to reach Tang Wulin.
Monster Academy? The Monster Academy that was established based on Shrek Academys rules?
Red clothing? Could that have been their school uniform? They truly complemented Shrek Academys green-colored school uniforms! Was there not a saying that went, red on green, utter nonsense...
This was indeed quite intriguing.
On Monster Academys side, the person who led the way was a large and tall man. He was bald and stood at a height of two meters. His shoulders and back were wide. When he stood there, he resembled a hill which blocked everyone behind him.
Such a doughty aura. Tang Wulin felt silent chills running down his heart.
He seemed to have seen a dash of dark red in this persons eyes.
When this man walked in, the initially crowded waiting area immediately thinned as the people made way for him, allowing him to take his great strides into the waiting area.
Tang Wulin and the others stood at the side. They quickly saw the others who followed behind this bald, brawny man.
When Tang Wulin saw the second person, his gaze quickly froze. He had just met him that morning. Was that not the fourth prince of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Yueyan?
What shocked him even more was at the back. There were eight members from Monster Academy, and the one who walked at the end of the line was astonishingly the princess of Star Luo Empire, Dai Yuner.
