I am in Douluo, but I am the favorite of the soul beast group.

Chapter 409 Summation
When the contestants heard about this unprecedented generous reward, they were immediately in an uproar and began to whisper to each other. The noisy voices rose and fell like waves, and everyone's face was full of excitement.

Shui Bing'er from Tianshui College looked at the platform at this moment, her eyes full of disappointment, as if she was searching for something, but she couldn't find it. She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. It had been five years since we parted that year, but she had never seen her again. It seemed that there was no hope this time.

At this time, Huo Wu, who was not far from her, said playfully.

"What are you daydreaming about? The championship team this time will probably be ours. So, are you planning to just give up?" Huo Wu's voice was somewhat provocative.

Hearing this, Shui Bing'er also reacted, her eyebrows slightly frowned, and then she said softly in an unpleasant tone.

"What are you thinking about? Don't forget, Hu Liena of the Spirit Hall is probably not even 25 years old. Besides, that Tang Ya back then is now the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall. Do you think you can beat her?" There was a hint of ridicule in Shui Bing'er's tone. Fire and water cannot get along. The two of them perfectly illustrate this statement. They always quarrel whenever they meet.

Hearing Tang Ya's name, Huo Wu snorted softly. This was simply her shadow. She suspected that even Tang Ya was immune to fire, otherwise, how could she not be afraid of fire. However, she said it nonchalantly.

"I can't beat her, but I can beat you. Don't forget, the second place winner can also choose a ten thousand year soul bone. I estimate that the second and third place winners should be chosen from among us."

The Five Elements Academy is in a very awkward situation right now. The Blazing Fire Academy is in its explosive growth period, and with two Soul King players, they are basically afraid of no one except the Spirit Hall.

As for the other colleges, Thunder College and Elephant Armor College are both quite weak. The strongest ones before couldn’t even make it into the top five, and now several of them have passed the grade, making it even more impossible.

Kamikaze Academy, well, this is a tragedy. The good news is that Feng Xiaotian’s strength has now reached that of a Soul Emperor, and his self-created soul skills have been cultivated to 108 cuts. But, the bad news is that he is 29, and the last time was his last chance.

As for the academies of Tiandou and Xingluo Empire, well, given the current relationship between the Spirit Hall and them, it is impossible for them to participate. Therefore, the only one that Huo Wu truly regards as an opponent is Shui Bing'er, the 21-year-old Soul King.

In other words, as long as they defeat Shui Bing'er's team, they will basically secure second place.

With the arrival of the draw, the new Soul Master Competition has begun.

……

Compared to the lively atmosphere in Wuhun City, the atmosphere in Tiandou Palace was extremely depressing at this moment.

Emperor Xue Ye sat on the throne, his eyes sweeping across the ministers below like a sharp sword, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out, and the anger and anxiety in his eyes almost overflowed. The ministers below were whispering to each other, and the whole hall was filled with an atmosphere of uneasiness and tension.

"You have discussed for so long, have you come up with any good ideas?" Emperor Xue Ye's voice was clearly filled with dissatisfaction and anxiety.

As soon as these words came out, the hall fell silent. The ministers were all silent, lowering their heads, their eyes flickering, not daring to meet the fierce gaze of Emperor Xue Ye, for fear of angering the emperor who was on the verge of rage.

Seeing this, Emperor Xue Ye's face became even uglier, his chest rose and fell violently, and he was obviously suppressing his anger. Seeing that Emperor Xue Ye was about to be furious, the master hurriedly walked out of the queue, bowed slightly, and said solemnly.

"Your Majesty, I have considered this matter carefully, and perhaps I can solve this trouble." Hearing this, Emperor Xue Ye's tense expression relaxed a little, and his eyes looked at the master.

"explain."

The master nodded solemnly, cleared his throat, and spoke slowly.

"The main reason why the Star Luo Empire was able to advance so rapidly and break through with great force is that the Spirit Hall is no longer firmly on our side. Because of this, the Star Luo Empire has the confidence to be so unscrupulous. Although we are still unclear about what specific deal has been reached between the Star Luo Empire and the Spirit Hall, it is clear that once the Star Luo Empire successfully destroys our Tiandou, then the Spirit Hall, as the largest organization on the continent, will inevitably be regarded as a thorn in the side by the Star Luo Empire." He spoke at a moderate pace and in a clear and organized manner.

The master paused, looked at Emperor Xue Ye firmly, and continued, his eyes full of worry and deep thought.

"I believe that the Spirit Hall should also be able to clearly see this situation. As long as we are willing to pay a certain price, the Spirit Hall will definitely re-weigh the pros and cons and choose to stand on our side again."

Hearing this, Xue Qinghe couldn't help but say it playfully, with a hint of sarcasm and doubt in his tone.

“Father, I think this may be difficult to achieve. After all, due to a series of actions taken by the National Master, the relationship between our Tiandou Empire and the Spirit Hall is now…” Xue Qinghe hesitated to say the rest, but all the ministers present knew it well.

Since the master became the national teacher, he has been training soldiers vigorously and vigorously, and at the same time, he has spared no effort to suppress the power of the Spirit Hall in the territory. Now, the Spirit Hall in Tiandou City has been completely evacuated, and the soul masters who depended on the Spirit Hall for survival have also left.

At present, the power of the Spirit Hall in the Heaven Dou Empire is not as strong as before. Only in some remote areas are there still a small number of junior deacons holding on. Most of the Spirit Hall branches in other major cities have become empty shells and have all returned to the Spirit City.

More than 70% of the soul masters in the empire have left with the Spirit Hall. After all, they all know who is supporting them. If they don't leave now, they may not have a chance in the future.

After listening to this, Emperor Xue Ye took a deep breath and sighed helplessly. Then he turned his gaze to Xue Qinghe.

"Qinghe, what's the matter? From the look of you, it seems like you have a better solution?"

Xue Qinghe nodded slightly.

"Father, I do have a plan, but it will only be successful if you personally take action."

Emperor Xue Ye could not help but frown slightly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"explain."

Xue Qinghe smiled slightly, and there was a sense of confidence in that smile.

"Father, if we really go to the Spirit Hall to ask for help, then where will our Tiandou Imperial Family's face be? Besides, it is better to rely on ourselves than on others. Even if we don't rely on the Spirit Hall, our Tiandou Empire is still capable of fighting against the Xingluo Empire. In my opinion, the reason why our Tiandou Empire is in a weak position in the current situation is that, on the one hand, power is dispersed, and it is difficult for various forces to form a unified and effective force; on the other hand, the Spirit Hall's long-term erosion and infiltration of our Tiandou Empire has greatly weakened the empire's strength and cohesion, which has led to our disadvantage in the confrontation with the Xingluo Empire."
