I really am a Titled Douluo

In another compartment of the Soul Guidance Train...

Shen Yi looked at Xu Sheng beside him and worriedly asked, "Xu Sheng, how could you agree to let them participate in the Youthful Soul Master Competition?"

This Youthful Soul Master Competition was open to the public, meaning anyone could watch the matches. This also meant that students from other delegations coming for the Xingluo Land exchange competition could use this as an opportunity to prepare for their encounters with Tang Wulin and his team!

Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng smiled and said, "This was a request made by Wu Dousi and the others. I couldn't possibly refuse, right? Plus, the prize this time is a soul bone, which could be a great opportunity if they manage to win."

"If it were just a thousand-year soul bone, indeed, there would be no need to participate, but the reward is a ten-thousand-year soul bone. In the current times, where land soul beasts are almost extinct, that is..."

Shen Yi pouted and said, "Winning the championship? That seems a bit unlikely. The Star Luo Delegation Leader said the Soul Masters participating in the Youthful Soul Master Competition just need to be under twenty years old, which is hardly fair!"

He paused, then complained, "I really don't understand why Xingluo Land has to host two competitions at the same time, especially when the Youthful Soul Master Competition has even richer rewards than the Xingluo Land exchange competition!"

Meanwhile, not far away, Pan Wen heard this comment and awkwardly smiled as he said, "Uh... Teacher Shen, when you speak, could you perhaps consider our feelings a bit?"

After saying this, he gestured towards the people next to him...

The person in charge of this trip and the members of the Star Luo Delegation were all here!

Shen Yi's face instantly turned red, and he weakly said, "Sorry..."

He had carelessly blurted out what was on his mind, and in front of the host no less. It was absolutely embarrassing!

Pan Wen gave a bitter smile and said, "Teacher Shen, there's no need to apologize. After all, what you said is the truth. It's undeniable that the Youthful Soul Master Competition gives an advantage to older Soul Masters!"

"But I think letting the younger disciples gain some experience isn't a bad thing. Moreover, the students from your academy are not to be underestimated. If they manage to win the championship, it would be the best of both worlds!"

Next to him, Sima Lanxiao nodded in agreement and said, "That's right. If the young generation from Shrek Academy could win the championship, it would greatly boost their influence!"

"Exactly, in the history of the Youthful Soul Master Competition, there has never been such young participants who then went on to win the championship! If they succeed, they would definitely become famous throughout Xingluo Land!"

As for the members of the Star Luo Delegation, they scoffed, not believing for a second that the students from Shrek Academy could win the championship!

After all... even Soul Emperor level opponents appear in the Youthful Soul Master Competition!

If it were former inner court students, there might be a great chance, but outer courtyard students... ha, not worth mentioning!

...

After a few traditional hours, the Soul Guidance Train had finally arrived in Xingluo City!

Once everyone got off the train and stretched their legs, Tang Wulin couldn't help but stretch and said contentedly, "Is this Xingluo City? It's much better than the coastal cities."

The scenery and decorations around Xingluo City were no less impressive than Shrek City, even having a unique charm of its own!

Xie Xie nodded and lamented, "Yeah! But this journey was almost the death of me, my entire back is sore and aching!"

Xu Xiaoyan scorned, "Dramatic, it was just a ride on the Soul Guidance Train!"

Xie Xie retorted, "I'm just expressing my feelings! Why do you like picking on me so much now, Xu Xiaoyan?"

Ye Xinglan held her forehead and sighed, "Every time we get off the train, they start arguing, sigh!"

Gu Yue lightly laughed and said, "There's nothing we can do, those two are always at odds!"

Xu Lizhi chipped in naively, "But Gu Yue, I think you and Wulin seem even more like a quarreling couple... No, a loving couple!"

Gu Yue coughed a bit and didn't say more...

She was still considering how to face Tang Wulin!

At that moment, Tang Wulin's communicator emitted a sound, "beep beep beep... beep beep beep"

Everyone turned their attention to it, and after seeing the caller's note, Tang Wulin exclaimed, "It's Teacher Wu!"

Ever since Wu Changkong had stopped teaching them, he had rarely contacted them!

Regaining his composure, he quickly connected...

The guest elder spoke respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty. Although Shrek Academy has been severely damaged, with its reputation as the number one academy on the Continent, it will be able to return to its peak given some stable development!"

"Furthermore, the matter you asked to be investigated has results!"

Dai Tianling's eyes showed intense anger. "Oh? Let's hear it."

The Xingluo Land dock had transformed into purgatory overnight, and that too during the Communication Competition, how could it not catch his attention!

So, as soon as he received the news, he had his subordinates investigate immediately!

The guest elder's eyes flickered, "Back to Your Majesty, the Soul Masters who died at the dock had extremely tragic deaths. I can affirm with absolute certainty that it was the doing of Evil Soul Masters! Moreover... the residual evil aura is very strong, indicating a considerable number!"

Dai Tianling propped up his chin, pondering. "That means... these Evil Soul Masters most likely sneaked here from Douluo Continent?"

Based on his understanding, the Evil Soul Masters of Xingluo Land hadn't united, generally scattered across various areas of Xingluo Land, making it difficult to form such a large group!

The only possibility then was that these Evil Soul Masters were all from the Holy Spirit Cult of Douluo Continent!

The guest elder pursed his lips and took a deep breath, "Your Majesty, given this incident, I suggest we enhance the security of Xingluo Land's communication activities. If the Evil Soul Masters intend to strike during the Communication Competition, it would be easier to manage!"

Dai Tianling glanced at him. "Hmm, then I'll leave this matter to you. Ensure the absolute safety of the Communication Competition!"

After all, the students participating in this event were very important to all factions. If any casualties occurred, it would be difficult for him as the Emperor of the Xingluo Empire to calm the anger of all the major powers!

The guest elder bowed slightly, "Yes, Your Majesty! I shall take my leave now!"

It was then that Dai Tianling, somewhat helplessly, looked towards a certain area. "There's no one else here, come out now!"

However, there was no response from the hall...

Dai Tianling spoke again, "Yun'er, there's no use hiding anymore. You can't mask your own Soul Power Aura."

Upon hearing this, a head popped out from behind a nearby hiding spot, somewhat sheepishly. "Hehehe... Father, how did you know I was eavesdropping?"

She then walked up to him...

Dai Tianling couldn't help but give a wry smile. "Only you could be so willful!"

He paused and then asked, "Tell me, why did you want to see me?"

His mood was quite sour after the recent discussion and he wasn't very patient...

Dai Yun'er seemed to know that Dai Tianling was in a bad mood. She spoke directly, "Father, do you still remember your promise to let me choose my own teacher?"

Dai Tianling nodded slightly, "What I said personally, of course, holds true!"
