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

Chapter 48 The Eve of the Competition
Ling Luochen looked at Xiao Ming with a red face. When Xiao Ming saw that the flame was extinguished, he withdrew his hand.

Wang Yan looked at the reserve team and the few people left behind by Xuan Lao, sighed, and said: "Sorry, the responsibility for this mission is mine, I will go back..."

Before Wang Yan could finish, Xiao Ming interrupted him: "It's okay. No casualties are the best outcome. Teacher Wang, don't blame yourself. Get ready to go."

After Xiao Ming finished speaking, he glanced at Ma Xiaotao. She was the one who was primarily responsible this time, but she was injured, so Xiao Ming did not scold her.

Ma Xiaotao lowered her head when she saw the look in Xiao Ming's eyes. She should have listened to Xiao Ming, and Dai Yuheng also lowered his head. If she had listened to Xiao Ming and stopped Ma Xiaotao, this accident probably would not have happened.

Everyone set out on the road again with a depressed mood. This time the atmosphere was different from before. It became depressing and there was no longer the vigor that they had when they set out together in the morning.

One day later, in Shrek Academy, inside Poseidon Pavilion.

"I have decided to resign from the position of deputy head of the Shrek Supervisory Group and withdraw from the Poseidon Pavilion, and just become an idler in the academy." Elder Xuan's words echoed in the hall.

Mu Lao slowly opened his eyes and said, "Just let it go like this?"

This accident was not as serious as in the original book, but it was still Master Xuan’s dereliction of duty. Combined with the incident with Zhang Lexuan, two consecutive dereliction of duty made Master Xuan feel guilty.

Elder Xuan shook his head and walked out of the Sea God Pavilion. Elder Mu spoke again: "Come back, this matter is not over yet."

Old Xuan continued to walk out, as if he did not hear Old Mu's voice.

Mu Lao's tone became more serious, and he said, "I asked you to come back, didn't you hear me?"

Elder Xuan paused for a moment, and then Elder Mu's voice came over: "If you really feel guilty, you shouldn't choose to escape, but to protect the children from wind and rain, and do a better job in protecting them in the future. If you really think that this matter will be over after you leave, then just think that I have misjudged you and leave."

Elder Xuan turned around and looked at Elder Mu. Seeing that Elder Xuan had turned around, Elder Mu said, "You will continue to be in charge of the Soul Master Competition. You can't get away with this. You'd better keep an eye on Shrek's people, otherwise I will punish you for my brother."

Some light returned to Xuan Lao's eyes, and he asked, "Should we send someone to support them?"

Mu Lao waved his hand and said, "No need, with Xiao Ming here, we will win."

Hearing this, Elder Xuan stood at the door and wanted to say something, but Elder Mu spoke first: "Why don't you go quickly? What are you standing here for? I tell you, if there is an accident this time, it won't be a matter of a few words."

Elder Xuan could only leave Poseidon Pavilion and rush to Xingluo City. Elder Mu saw Elder Xuan leaving and shook his head and sighed: "Alas, I hope Xiao Ming can hurry up."

Old Mu had also seen that Old Xuan was unreliable, so now he could only place all his hopes on Xiao Ming. Otherwise, given Old Xuan's temper, there would most likely be problems with Poseidon Pavilion in the future.

Star Luo City.

As the capital of the Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City is undoubtedly the largest city in the empire and the political, cultural, and economic center of the Star Luo Empire.

The walls of Xingluo City are a hundred meters high, and the thickness of the walls is also a terrifying hundred meters, and they are completely made of hard rock.

It covers an area of more than 1,000 square kilometers. It is more than 100 miles long and wide. The widest main road can accommodate 16 carriages running in both directions at the same time. As the Soul Master Competition was held, almost all the hotels in Xingluo City were full, and there were more people on the streets.

Not far to the east of Xingluo Square, there is a seven-story hotel. This hotel, called Xinghuang, is owned by the royal family. This time, it was specially set aside to receive contestants from advanced soul master academies or advanced soul instructor academies from various countries.

As the champion of the last Soul Master Competition and the number one Soul Master Academy on the continent, the contestants from Shrek Academy were arranged in a luxurious room on the top floor. Not only was there a bedroom for each person, but there was also a dedicated conference room for them to use.

At this time, Wang Yan gathered everyone to the conference room. On the left were five inner courtyard students: Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yaoheng, Xixi, Ling Luochen and Xiao Ming, and on the right were six people from the outer courtyard.

The registration period for the academy ends today, and Wang Yan has already registered with the organizer of the competition. The competition will begin tomorrow, and they were called here today just to arrange some tactical issues. Although there are only four regular players, with Xiao Ming as the trump card, their chances of winning are still great.

Wang Yan looked at the three injured members of the regular team and said, "How long will it take for you three to recover from your injuries before you can join the battle? I need an exact time."

Ma Xiaotao said: "I'm fine. I will be fully recovered in about ten days."

Dai Yaoheng said: "It's about ten days for me as well."

Xixi's face was still pale, and she said, "My soul power is not as good as theirs. It will take about fifteen days to recover at full strength."

After the three members of the regular team reported their time, Wang Yan's expression remained the same, but the expressions of the six members of the outer courtyard became grim. Now only two Soul Kings could play, which meant that they also had to go on the field.

Wang Yan said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow we will draw lots to complete the first round of the preliminaries. I learned from the organizer that there are a total of 133 high-level soul master academies and high-level soul instructor academies participating in the competition. This means that the first round of competition will be completed in about three days."

"And the first round of the competition will be held in a 7v7 format, which means you may play."

After Wang Yan finished speaking, he looked at the six people in the outer courtyard. The six people in the outer courtyard immediately sat up straight, and cold sweat appeared on their foreheads.

Wang Yan waved his hand and said, "You guys go up there and act as the poster. I've already told Xiao Ming that he will be the one carrying the load in the front, and you guys just need to do the second round."

The six people were relieved after hearing this. Wang Yan turned to look at Xiao Ming and said, "Did you remember everything I said?"

Xiao Ming nodded without saying anything. Wang Yan had previously asked him to arrange a tactic for him individually, which roughly meant that he should retain more strength. Xiao Ming was familiar with this and just used the map cannon to send all the enemies away.

Xiao Ming could guess what Wang Yan meant roughly. While covering up the injuries of the starting team, he also wanted to let others see how powerful Shrek was. It would be best if Xiao Ming could lead the opponent when he exposed a few of his soul skills.

As for the others, don't expose their strength and let them save it for later. The second round will be a three, two, two cooperative battle mode, which means that reserve players must be on the field in the second round. Xiao Ming can win a victory alone. If Ling Luochen can lead the team, then surviving the second round will not be a problem.

The third game was easy, a seven-on-seven duel. As long as Xiao Ming was on the court and could survive these three rounds, there would be no problem in the fourth game.

Thinking of this, Wang Yan couldn't help but sigh that Xiao Ming was really useful, he was simply the ace among aces.
