I really am a Titled Douluo

This move left Xu Sheng startled. Was this princess of the Xingluo Empire a bit too familiar?

He had only chosen to carry her in a princess carry for convenience, but he hadn't expected the other party to willingly snuggle in...

After coming back to his senses, he chuckled softly, "It seems Her Royal Highness the Princess had quite a tough time at the hands of the evil Soul Master, even her personality has changed!"

However, Dai Yun'er responded in a feeble voice, "No... it's not like that, it's just that no one has ever held me this way before! Although... it's also true that I haven't had it easy!"

After saying this, she buried her face further into Xu Sheng's chest, trying to hide her appearance from onlookers as much as possible...

Thus, holding her like that, Xu Sheng left the pavilion and walked towards the venue of the Youthful Soul Master Competition...

They hadn't gone far when the Soul Masters tasked with finding Dai Yun'er spotted Xu Sheng and her!

Even though her face wasn't visible, the Soul Masters recognized the person in Xu Sheng's embrace as their princess from the clothing only the royal nobles would wear!

Instantly, they surrounded Xu Sheng with the fastest speed...

They all began to say, "Look, that's definitely Her Royal Highness! Only the direct descendants of the royal household can wear that kind of outfit!"

"Damn, who is this man? Could he also be an evil Soul Master?"

"Don't delay. Hand over Her Royal Highness at once! Otherwise, don't blame us for being heartless!"

Before Xu Sheng could speak, Dai Yun'er looked up at the Soul Masters ahead and snapped, "Impudence! This man is Elder Xu from the Sea God's Pavilion, and it was he who rescued me from the clutches of numerous evil Soul Masters!"

If not for him, she would have already become a mindless vegetable, so she wouldn't allow anyone to disrespect him!

Upon hearing this, astonishment showed on the faces of the Soul Masters...

One of them spoke in an incredulous tone, "Your Royal Highness, are you saying... that Elder Xu alone rescued you?"

Dai Yun'er firmly answered, "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes!"

Although she felt somewhat delirious, she still remembered what had happened!

After receiving confirmation again, the Soul Masters bowed deeply, apologizing, "We... We are sorry, we misunderstood you, and thank you for rescuing Her Royal Highness from the evil Soul Masters!"

"We were too impulsive just now, please forgive our transgressions!"

"Indeed, we hope you can forgive our recent rudeness!"

Being able to rescue Her Royal Highness from the numerous powerful evil Soul Masters showed that Elder Xu from the Sea God's Pavilion possessed terrifying strength!

He was not someone they could afford to provoke!

Xu Sheng glanced at them and said indifferently, "It is alright, as long as Her Royal Highness is unharmed!"

The leading Soul Master took a deep breath, awkwardly smiling, "Then... Your Royal Highness, we will escort you back to the imperial palace, please come down now."

If they could bring Her Royal Highness back to the imperial palace, they would definitely receive substantial rewards!

Sensing their motives, Dai Yun'er coldly said, "No need, Elder Xu will take me back. Are you suggesting you are stronger than him?"

Where were these people when she was being tortured by the evil Soul Master?

The Soul Master's face showed a reluctant expression as he struggled to respond, "But..."

Dai Yun'er had already lost her patience and rebuked, "Leave, I don't want to say it a second time!"

Observing her anger, the Soul Masters also realized the situation was dire, and they quickly said, "Yes, Your Royal Highness. We will leave immediately."

Realizing her own lapse in composure, Dai Yun'er's cheeks flushed red again...

Being a member of the royal nobles, she had unexpectedly rebuked someone openly! And that too in front of a man who had made her heart flutter!

"Will they hate me for this?"

However, Xu Sheng gently reassured in a soft tone, "With such a solid voice, it seems like your spirit has mostly recovered!"

Dai Yun'er lowered her head bashfully, murmuring softly in a sticky tone, "Uh-huh..."

When Tang Wulin and others returned to their seats, the other students from Shrek Academy excitedly exclaimed, "Congratulations on defeating Star Luo Plant Academy and giving those guys a slap in the face for us!"

"Absolutely refreshing! I saw so many other students from different forces looking as dark as coal!"

"Especially Xie Xie, that last move was just too cool! But... I remember you haven't used that soul skill before!"

"Anyway, well done!"

Hearing these praises, Xie Xie proudly lifted his chin and boasted, "Of course, when Xie Xie steps up, no one can stand in my way..."

But deep down, he thought to himself, "I must never eat Xu Lizhi's Bloodthirsty Red Bean Bun unless absolutely necessary. Powerful, sure, but the side effects are too severe. I'm barely recovering my ability to move now!"

Xu Xiaoyan gave him a disdainful glance. "Yeah right, everyone knows you were practically drained after using your soul skill!"

But... recalling the moment he broke through the opponent's protective barrier, she had to admit it was indeed cool!

Undeniable!

Beside her, Tang Wulin coughed and added, "Ahem... Xiao Yan, that wasn't Xie Xie's fault. It was the serious side effects of Lizhi's Bloodthirsty Red Bean Bun!"

Ye Xinglan nodded affirmatively, "Yes, I've tried Lizhi's Bloodthirsty Red Bean Bun too; the side effects are proportional to its power!"

Seeing them defending him, Xie Xie gratefully said, "Exactly, Wulin and Xing Lan get me."

Then he glared fiercely at Xu Lizhi, "Lizhi, when you have time, explain the types and effects of your buns! Otherwise, next time, who knows who might get tricked by you!"

Xu Lizhi awkwardly agreed, "Okay... alright."

Wu Siduo crossed her arms and didn't speak, but she was pondering how much her strength might increase if she were to consume Xu Lizhi's Bloodthirsty Red Bean Bun...

Shen Yi looked at this scene, smiling and said, "You all did well! But don't let your guard down in the upcoming matches!"

She wouldn't dare admit that while watching the battle, she had thought that Tang Wulin and the others were undoubtedly going to lose!

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement...

This encounter indeed made them underestimate their opponent, initially believing they could beat them while still hiding their true strength!

Meanwhile, on the battle platform, Pan Wen announced, "Now, the second matchup will begin, featuring Star Luo Monster Academy against..."

This statement immediately captured the attention of Tang Wulin and the others...

Their eyes were firmly fixed on the battle platform, unwilling to miss a single opportunity for observation!

After all, among the teams, there were two that would pose a threat to them—the Xingluo Imperial Academy and the Monster Academy, a replica of Shrek Academy!

Visibly, the students from Monster Academy, composed and undisturbed under watching eyes, climbed onto the platform...

Most notably, from the royal lineage itself, were Dai Yueyan and Dai Yun'er!

The arrival of Monster Academy instantly sparked the crowd at the entire competition, and discussions among the Soul Masters ensued...
