Douluo Continent: The creation of Jixia Academy made Bibi Dong drool with envy.

Chapter 40 rewards three soul bones, the champion is Jixia Academy!
Compared to the dazzling debut of Jixia Academy, which was as radiant as the sun, moon, and stars.

The Blue Tyrant team, huddled in the corner, looked like rats in a gutter, appearing increasingly inconspicuous and... pathetic.

The stark contrast turned the faces of Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and the others as black as the bottom of a pot.

Dai Mubai, in particular, looked at the confidence radiating from the faces of the Jixia Academy team members and felt the faint yet incredibly powerful fluctuations of soul power within them.

Then think about how颓废 and pathetic I am now...

A deep sense of powerlessness and... jealousy spread through his heart.

once Upon a time.

He was once a prodigy, with a bright future ahead of him. But now…

Flanders felt extremely bitter.

This was the first time he had seen the Jixia Academy's team so closely.

Looking at those young students from Jixia Academy, each with a calm demeanor and eyes full of wisdom and confidence.

Feel the surging, ocean-like fluctuations of soul power within them.

Then think about how you've painstakingly built Shrek Academy into a school that only accepts monsters and not ordinary people...

Compared to these real "monsters," it's practically a joke.

His life's dreams and hard work seemed to be completely shattered at this moment, becoming... worthless.

Liu Erlong also gritted her teeth, her heart filled with resentment and anger.

But she also understood that the gap between the two sides was as vast as heaven and earth.

Just as everyone had different thoughts.

The Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Heavenly Dou Empire, who was in charge of presiding over the encouragement meeting, greeted him with a smile.

"Mr. Zhuge, Mr. Sima, how have you been?"

Xue Qinghe was elegant and gentle, bowing respectfully to Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi with a humble attitude.

Although in his heart...

He felt a little disappointed because he didn't see Dean Yan, whom he was so wary of, in the Jixia Academy's ranks.

But even when facing these two equally powerful and unfathomable mentors from Jixia Academy, he still performed flawlessly.

"His Royal Highness, you are polite."

Zhuge Liang returned the greeting with a smile, his feather fan waving gently, exuding an air of refined elegance.

Sima Yi merely nodded slightly, his eyes cold, and he spoke sparingly.

"Gentlemen, and all the talented young scholars of Jixia, you have come from afar. Thank you for your hard work."

Xue Qinghe said enthusiastically.

"Father is already waiting on the viewing platform. Please follow me to the VIP seats in front."

talking.

He personally led the way, guiding Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, and the two highly anticipated teams, the Jixia Kings Team and the Jixia Valiant Team, to the seats closest to the viewing platform, offering the best view and the most prestigious seats.

This move undoubtedly demonstrates once again the importance that the Heavenly Dou Royal Family attaches to the Jixia Academy.

This also made the teachers and students of other colleges around them extremely envious.

The process of the encouragement conference was not particularly complicated.

Following some necessary opening remarks and official speeches.

Imperial officials then announced some of the important rules and rewards for the competition.

Compared to empty slogans, these concrete rules and rewards are clearly more likely to pique the interest of trainees.

The atmosphere in the training ground reached a climax when the team learned that they would not only receive a generous reward of gold soul coins, but also three soul bones provided by the Spirit Hall and a title provided by the Empire.

Three soul bones.

This is a treasure that the vast majority of Soul Masters dream of.

It's enough to drive any team crazy.

Even Dai Mubai, who had seemed somewhat absent-minded, had a glint of fervor in his eyes.

If... if I could obtain a soul bone...

The atmosphere of the conference reached its climax, spurred on by inspiring speeches and generous rewards. This was followed by a lavish royal luncheon.

A variety of delicacies were served in a continuous stream, which broadened the horizons of these young soul masters from all over the empire and temporarily relieved the tense atmosphere before the competition.

After lunch, everyone returned to the training ground.

Emperor Xue Ye, the emperor of the Heavenly Dou Empire, who had been sitting upright in the center of the viewing platform with a dignified smile on his face, finally spoke.

He began by expressing his high expectations and encouragement to all participating teams, as is customary.

Subsequently.

He changed the subject, his gaze falling on the two distinguished teams from Jixia Academy in the VIP section.

"My esteemed ministers, my talented young men from all corners of the empire!"

Emperor Xueye's voice was loud and clear, echoing throughout the entire venue.

"Today, heroes gather here, truly a grand event for our Heavenly Dou Empire!"

"To warm up for the upcoming competition, and also to provide a more direct opportunity for exchange and learning between different colleges..."

Emperor Xueye revealed a smile of great interest.

"I have a suggestion."

"How about we hold a few exhibition matches right here on this training ground?"

Let everyone get a feel for the atmosphere of the competition in advance, and let us witness the talent of the younger generation of Soul Masters of our Heaven Dou Empire.

how?!"

This suggestion immediately drew cheers and approval from the entire audience.

Exhibition match.

This is a rare opportunity to showcase one's abilities.

"it is good!"

Emperor Xueye nodded in satisfaction, and then his gaze, sharp and precise like that of a hawk, fell upon Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi.

"I have heard that Jixia Academy is full of outstanding talents."

"I would like to take the liberty of inviting the team from Jixia Academy to participate in this exhibition match..."

Emperor Xueye paused for a moment, then uttered two words that shocked everyone.

"The champion."

"I wonder, would Mr. Zhuge, Mr. Sima, and all the talented young men of Jixia Academy... grace us with their presence?"

As soon as Emperor Xueye finished speaking, almost everyone's eyes were instantly fixed on the two teams from Jixia Academy, each consisting of more than a dozen people.

Some people envy them, some are jealous, and some simply don't understand.

They couldn't figure it out.

Why would Emperor Xueye hold the Jixia Academy, which he had never heard of before, in such high regard?

Exhibition matches nowadays.

He even personally invited the Jixia Academy team to step onto the Soul Battle Stage as the champions. What makes them so special?
Meanwhile, on the Blue Tyrant team's side...

Ma Hongjun pursed his lips.

He was about to say something sarcastic when he was silenced by a warning glare from Flander.

After teasing him for a moment, Ma Hongjun lowered his head and muttered something under his breath.

Meanwhile, the Jixia team...

Zhuge Liang glanced at Sima Yi, a hint of a smile in his eyes.

Sima Yi didn't even need to think to know what that look meant.

If the Jixia Kings team were to participate, they could easily win this exhibition match, but in that case, the so-called "exhibition match" would lose its meaning.

and so…

This great task of becoming the "champion" fell on the shoulders of the Jixia Xiaochu team.
