Douluo Dragon King: I, the wielder of the Holy Sword, will vanquish all evil.

Chapter 65 Arrival
"Hmph, who are you to hug me?" Na'er pushed Mu Xi away. Although she had rushed up to him herself, she still knew how to play the victim, thanks to Su Qiu's example: "Am I someone you can hug?"

Mu Xi stood there awkwardly, this scene indeed resembled the one where she had taken the initiative to hug Na'er.

She changed the subject, asking Tang Wulin, "Who are these people?"

She recognized Tang Wulin; he was a genius who had just joined the Forging Masters Association this year and was also going to participate in the forging competition of the Tianhai Alliance Grand Tournament.

"I also have to participate in the Junior Soul Master Team Competition; our Class Zero is here too," Tang Wulin explained.

"You're all participating too?" Mu Xi covered her mouth in surprise. "What about Su Qiu?"

"Yes, he's participating too." Tang Wulin nodded, his tone full of confidence. In their eyes, as long as Su Qiu was there, they were sure to win.

"This is so boring." Mu Xi puffed out her cheeks: "Su Qiu is in both the forging competition and the soul master competition, so what am I going to do at the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition this time?"

"Just there to keep you company?"

"What do you mean?" Tang Wulin asked, bewildered. "Is Brother Su's forging skill also very strong?"

"You didn't know?" Mu Xi thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered, "Huh, it seems like you and Su Qiu haven't met at the Forging Masters Association."

"When you joined the association, Su Qiu was already rarely coming."

She cleared her throat, her tone full of admiration: "Su Qiu completed the Spirit Forging a long time ago."

"My current forging skills are thanks not only to my father's teachings, but also to Su Qiu. He always helps me break through any bottlenecks I encounter."

Spirit Forging?

Tang Wulin's eyes widened in shock. He knew all too well the significance of this.

He had always known that Su Qiu was a powerful Soul Master, but he never expected that the other party was also so skilled in the field of forging. He instantly admired Su Qiu even more.

"I had no idea. I never expected Brother Su to be so low-key."

Low key?

"If he really wanted to keep a low profile, he wouldn't have participated in the forging competition."

Mu Xi instantly recalled the conversation between her father and Su Qiu that she had overheard earlier, and her lips twitched.

He immediately stopped being low-key.

Soon after, everyone arrived.

"Teachers and students of Donghai Academy, get on the bus!"

Led by their teacher, the group boarded the No. 6 Soul Guidance Bus.

Na'er clung tightly to Su Qiu like a possessive animal, never leaving his side, clearly wanting to sit with him.

As the crowd surged into the car, Xu Xiaoyan knew she couldn't possibly win against Na'er; that monstrous strength was terrifying, and she couldn't even get close to Su Qiu.

With a quick glance around, Xu Xiaoyan decided to give it a try. She sat down, patted the seat next to her, and was about to extend an invitation to Su Qiu.

The next second, Xu Xiaoyu appeared out of nowhere and plopped down next to her younger sister.

It's only natural for siblings to sit together.

Xu Xiaoyu always sits with her younger sister when they go out, and this time was no exception.

"Hey, Xiaoyan, are you feeling unwell? Your face looks so dark."

Xu Xiaoyan took a deep breath, clenched her fists to suppress the urge to throw her brother out of the car, and mouthed a few words to him with a forced smile: "."

"Hmm?" Xu Xiaoyu frowned. "Are you insulting me?"

"They're really getting worse and worse."

Xu Xiaoyan gritted her teeth, her cheeks puffed out. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Na'er, who was already sitting comfortably with Su Qiu. The latter seemed to notice her gaze and deliberately made a smug face at her.

"Hmph!" Xu Xiaoyan was so angry that she almost lost her temper on the spot. She just snorted coldly and turned her head away, leaving Xu Xiaoyu with only the back of her head.

Xu Xiaoyu was baffled. He hadn't done anything, so why was his sister throwing a tantrum?

On the other side, Tang Wulin watched this silent scene and couldn't help but exchange a glance with Xie Xie beside him. They both saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes. "They seem to be having quite a blast."

Wu Changkong glanced at Gu Yue sitting next to him, then at Su Qiu, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "Are you sure you want to sit here?"

Gu Yue glanced at Wu Changkong, somewhat puzzled. She wondered to herself, "Where else should I sit if not here, since this is right in the center of Su Qiu's line of sight?"
"I understand." Wu Changkong suddenly nodded.

In his mind, he labeled Gu Yue as arrogant and tsundere, which silently lowered her chances of winning.

The conversations inside the bus were kept very low. In this atmosphere where everyone had their own ulterior motives, the Soul Guidance Bus slowly drove out of the square, accelerated towards the outskirts of East Sea City, and headed towards the arena of the Sky Sea Alliance Grand Competition.

The Federation's technology tree is a bit off-track. Other aspects are okay, similar to the modern world of the previous life, but the highways actually use magnetic levitation technology.

That's right, it's a highway.

So weird.

Inside the bus, everyone sat together with their best friends, some excitedly discussing things, others quietly watching the scenery outside the window.

There was a strange sense of warmth in the air.

Like Donghai City, Tianhai City is located on the coast, but it has a better geographical location, boasting the largest port and dock in the Douluo Continent.

Therefore, the Federal Navy is stationed here, and huge warships are visible to the naked eye.

Within the alliance, ordinary people aged eighteen are required to serve in the military, and the navy of Tianhai City is the first choice.

However, this has nothing to do with the Soul Masters inside the vehicle.

Su Qiu found it strange that the Federation, a behemoth that unified the Douluo Continent, had a policy that required ordinary people to serve in the military at the age of eighteen.

Hard to understand.

Upon arrival at Tianhai City, the team leader from Donghai City contacted Tianhai City officials, and Zero Team was arranged to stay in a luxury hotel, specifically a sea-view room.

The boys shared a room, and the girls shared a room. Wu Changkong informed them that the opening ceremony and draw for the Tianhai Alliance Tournament would be held tomorrow, after which the tournament would officially begin.

Before Tang Wulin could be persuaded by Xie Xie to go out for a stroll, Su Qiu stood up first: "Let's go, Tang Wulin."

"Where to?" Tang Wulin asked, puzzled.

"We blacksmiths from Donghai City are having a meeting. Let's all get to know each other."

Tang Wulin nodded in response: "Okay. Xie Xie, I'll play with you again when I get back."

Su Qiu was the first to walk out of the room, followed closely by Tang Wulin.

"Brother Su, besides people from Donghai City, are there any other people at this blacksmith meet-and-greet?" Tang Wulin asked curiously as they walked.

He had high expectations for his peers in the forging field, especially those who could participate in the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition, who must all be experts.

Su Qiu continued walking, explaining, "This is just a meeting within our Donghai City. We'll meet the blacksmiths from other cities after the opening ceremony."

He paused, then glanced at Tang Wulin. "Relax. I've actually heard about your forging skills in the association before. They're amazing for your age. You'll have no problem getting into the top three in this competition."

"Really? Haha." Tang Wulin was quite happy to be praised by Su Qiu, who was already capable of spirit forging.

As they talked, they reached the elevator.

The elevator doors opened quickly, and Mu Xi was standing inside. When she saw the two of them, her eyes lit up: "You're here! I was just about to call you."
