In the world of no return, holding the sun and the moon

Chapter 40: Selected Players

Time passed day by day, and Huo Yuhao successfully returned from the Far North.

Xiao Ming held Zhang Lexuan's hand and came to the Foreign Affairs College. Today was the second year assessment of the Foreign Affairs College, and Xiao Ming planned to go and take a look.

As soon as he arrived at the beast fighting area of the outer courtyard, he saw the second-year students gathering. Huo Yuhao also saw Xiao Ming and was waving his hand to greet Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming responded to Huo Yuhao with a smile.

Today, Xiao Ming mainly came to check on Huo Yuhao’s situation. After his spell was interrupted by Xiao Ming, he didn’t know what Huo Yuhao’s second martial soul was, so Xiao Ming planned to take a look.

Zhang Lexuan saw Xiao Ming's response and immediately asked, "Is this the junior who is good at grilling fish that you mentioned?"

Many times, Xiao Ming would ask Zhang Lexuan for leave to go to the outer courtyard to buy grilled fish. Zhang Lexuan also used to think that grilled fish was delicious, and it was always like this until Han Ruoruo self-exploded. But after Han Ruoruo self-exploded, she knew that Xiao Ming's going out to buy grilled fish was just an excuse, and his real purpose was to go out on a date with Han Ruoruo.

Xiao Ming nodded and said, “The last time I came out with Ling Luochen and was questioned, I thought Huo Yuhao had disappeared. I came here just to confirm it today.”

Zhang Lexuan was speechless. She just held Xiao Ming's hand and walked towards the audience seats. She didn't understand why Xiao Ming paid so much attention to a student from the external college. Huo Yuhao disappeared, so he disappeared. It had nothing to do with Xiao Ming. Anyway, he wouldn't have to buy grilled fish in the future.

"Don't underestimate him. He is one of the core disciples of the Soul Guidance Department. He became a second-level soul guide in just one year." Xiao Ming explained to Zhang Lexuan.

Zhang Lexuan still didn't have much interest and just nodded perfunctorily. She would rather use this time to go back to practice or get closer to Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming shook his head. If he had known that he had come out alone, it would not be a good idea to bring Zhang Lexuan with him.

However, the plot was somewhat different from what Xiao Ming had expected. Huo Yuhao did not make a bet with Dai Huabin, but faced a hundred-year-old soul beast alone and passed the test.

"Ice wolf?" Xiao Ming whispered to himself. Zhang Lexuan on the side did not expect that Huo Yuhao would have a second martial soul, and the quality of the martial soul was not low, it was one of the top martial souls.

"It's the Ice Wolf King." At this time, the Snow Emperor in Xiao Ming's spiritual sea spoke.

Bingdi was also a little angry and said: "I didn't expect Tianmeng to attack the soul beast in the Far North. I thought it would give up without the spiritual origin."

Xiao Ming stood up and left with Zhang Lexuan. This time the plot changed dramatically. Huo Yuhao’s martial spirit alone was not enough to trigger a meeting at the Sea God Pavilion, but it could only change Yan Shaozhe’s opinion of him.

Xiao Ming took Zhang Lexuan to stroll around the commercial street for a while and then left.

At this time, inside the Poseidon Pavilion, Elder Lin found Elder Mu.

"Mr. Mu, would you like to take a soul bone from the Treasure Pavilion and give it to Xiao Ming?"

The treasure-boosting meeting is about to begin. This is Shrek’s investment in potential disciples. When your talent reaches the standard, you will be given a limited amount based on the appraisal of the treasure-boosting meeting, and finally used to attract those civilian children.

Mu Lao shook his head and said, "No need, he has his own ideas, you just need to follow the rules."

Xiao Ming had rejected Mu Lao's relics before, including the soul bone. Mu Lao knew that Xiao Ming had his own ideas. On the other hand, Ma Xiaotao was pulled by Yan Shaozhe to the place of this soul master competition. She was not a contestant. If Ma Xiaotao wanted to participate in the competition, she had to challenge a contestant.

On the training ground, the seven young men had different attitudes.

First, the captain of the regular team, Dai Yueheng, has a lower soul power level than Ma Xiaotao. He is a level 64 Soul Emperor. What he needs to worry about is whether the position of the regular captain will be replaced by Ma Xiaotao, not whether he will be challenged by Ma Xiaotao.

It is worth mentioning that because of a year of hard practice, Ma Xiaotao’s soul power level is one level higher than the original, and has reached level 68. It can be said that she is one of the rare geniuses in Shrek’s history.

Then there is Chen Zifeng, a level 57 strong attack type war soul king. He is one of the candidates most likely to be replaced by Ma Xiaotao. Both Dai Yuheng and Ma Xiaotao are strong attack type players, which means that the strong attack type of the main team is enough. He is the one most likely to be challenged by Ma Xiaotao.

As for Yao Haoxuan and Ling Luochen, they were not too worried that Ma Xiaotao would challenge them. Both of them were control-type soul kings and could not be replaced for the time being, so there was no need to worry.

As Xixi is the only agile attack soul king in the team, she is naturally not worried about being selected by Ma Xiaotao.

As for Gong Yang Mo, he is irreplaceable. He is an auxiliary type. His Rainbow Dragon Martial Soul is very powerful, and it can be compared with the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, which gives him a unique advantage.

There is also the last member of the regular team, and the only soul engineer in the regular team, Ye Xiaosheng, a level five peak soul engineer with the cultivation of a soul king. He does not believe that Shrek will not give the soul engineer department a chance to drink, so he arranges for Ma Xiaotao to squeeze him out.

Xiao Ming's figure appeared in the audience seats. He was also pulled over, but Master Xuan had already informed him to join the Shrek reserve team. Now he just asked him to come and see the regular players. After all, although Xiao Ming's age did not meet the requirement, his strength was already at the same level as the regular players and he could train with the regular team.

Ma Xiaotao kept Yan Shaozhe's words in mind. Yan Shaozhe had told her on the way here to challenge Ye Xiaosheng. Although she didn't know why she had to challenge the only soul mentor in the regular team, Ma Xiaotao still followed her teacher's instructions.

The fight ended without any suspense. Ma Xiaotao replaced Ye Xiaosheng and became a member of the main team. Unlike Ye Xiaosheng who was unwilling to give up, the other six team members escaped the disaster by luck.

"Xiao Ming, come down." Old Xuan on the stage called Xiao Ming over.

When Xiao Ming walked onto the stage, Elder Xuan said, "To help you gain a deeper impression, today I will let you understand your teammates' martial spirits through fighting spirits. Xiao Ming is a reserve player, so he will be the first to challenge Dai Yuheng."

Dai Yuheng quickly walked to the stage and looked at Xiao Ming opposite him, and couldn't help but take a breath. Xiao Ming's name was quite famous in the inner courtyard. He had no defeat in the duel arena, and he could kill Soul Emperors when he met them. Even some Soul Saints were not his opponents. So once someone saw Xiao Ming entering the duel arena, they would consciously leave the stage.

Master Xuan had a purpose in making such arrangements. If he wanted to replace Ma Xiaotao as the regular captain, he would definitely need some comparison, and the time Dai Yuheng had lasted under Xiao Ming was the best proof. As long as the time Dai Yuheng had lasted under Xiao Ming was shorter than that of Ma Xiaotao, then Dai Yuheng's position as captain would be lost.

"Inner courtyard student, Xiao Ming, fifty-nine-level strong attack system battle soul king."

"Inner Academy student, Dai Yueheng, level 64 assault system soul emperor."

As Master Xuan left the ring, the fight between the two officially began.
