Chapter 207: Follow-up and Engagement
On the other side, in the rest area of Shrek Academy, Dai Mubai's handsome face had been stained with a trace of paleness, and his eyes were distracted. Davis didn't say it explicitly, but he could guess what was in the letter, no doubt a deed of dissolution.
And it's three people.
Dugu Bo's threat to the Star Luo Empire is too great, and now that the situation is, Zhu Zhuyun and the others have obviously decided to follow Lin Manshan with all their hearts. The wood is already in the boat, there is no point in holding accountable, and others will not take it seriously.
The key will also offend Dugu Bo.
In this case, the most important thing to consider is how to recover the losses and at the same time fight for the interests of the empire.
Therefore, easing the relationship with Zhu Zhuyun and the three of them, befriending Lin Manshan, and influencing Dugu Bo through Lin Manshan became the first choice. On the one hand, Lin Manshan itself has great potential and is worth wooing. The two can avoid Dugu Bo from opposing the empire as much as possible.
And Zhu Zhuyun and the three of them are the only ones who can help the empire and Lin Manshan go online.
If you don't do anything, you can't get it, and if you do it, at least you can recover some losses. Therefore, it is necessary to take the initiative to dissolve the marriage contract and use the Zhu family to play the emotional card with Zhu Zhuyun. However, after all, the object of Zhu Zhuyun's marriage contract is the prince of the empire, and now he has run away with the people of the enemy country, and it is definitely not possible to publicly dissolve the marriage contract, where will the face of the empire and the royal family go?
Therefore, it is safest to deal with it in the form of letters, and the parties should know about it anyway.
So, Zhuqing doesn't have anything to do with me anymore... Looking at Lin Manshan and Zhu Zhuqing sitting in the distance, Dai Mubai clenched his fists slightly, and his pupils were unwilling. But soon, he turned to a daze, and his fist was unable to release.
Now that the Star Luo Royal Academy has been eliminated by the Tianxing Academy, he has no chance to rely on his teammates to defeat Davis in the arena, and returning to China is a dead end.
"When the Soul Master Contest is over and I graduate from Shrek, what will I do after that?"
Thinking of this, the whole person was a little stunned.
It wasn't until the referee's shout came that he came back to his senses and continued to watch the game with a heavy heart.
At the same time, the rest area of the Star Luo Royal Academy, "Perhaps, being defeated by the Tianxing Academy is not a bad thing." Davis, who was being treated by his mentor, glanced at Dai Mubai, who was sitting in Shrek's seat in a daze, and this thought suddenly rose in his heart.
The Shrek team defeated the Thunder Academy and the Heaven Dou Royal Academy one after another, Tang San's performance can be said to be vivid, the control ability of the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is outstanding, he boasts that he has no absolute certainty to break free, and he does not have a particularly good countermeasure for the range toxin of the fourth soul skill, not to mention that Tang San also has the Haotian Hammer Martial Soul, it is said that he will also use the Haotian Nine Uniques, and the combat power is extremely good.
If the match just now matched Shrek Academy, he might really overturn.
There were so many Star Luo Empire soul masters present, if Dai Mubai relied on Tang San's help to defeat him, and when he returned to China, maybe he might really gain a lot of supporters and obtain the qualification to compete with him for the position of crown prince, which would only increase the variables.
But now, after losing to Tianxing Academy, this variable has been directly eliminated.
"However, just in case, when I return to China, I have to arrange more secret posts at the border, so as not to let Dai Mubai suddenly return to China. In addition, Tang San was able to learn the Haotian Nine Uniques, and he also had twin martial souls, so he might become the sect master of Haotian Sect in the future. If Dai Mubai can get his support, maybe there will be some variables."
"Fortunately, Lin Manshan has a grudge against Tang San..."
Thinking of this, I can't help but fall into thought.
Time passed little by little, and in the early afternoon, the third round ended, and the teams of the colleges withdrew.
At night, Zhu Zhuyun and the three of them gathered in the bedroom, opened the letters and read them together.
The first thing that was drawn out were three handwritten letters with royal seals, the contents of which were basically the same, dissolving the marriage contract on the three of them.
After reading it, Zhu Zhuyu's face was obviously happy, Zhu Zhuqing was pale, and Zhu Zhuyun pursed his lips disdainfully, "Such a speech is obviously drafted by a minister in the court, and the seal is also a royal seal, not an emperor's seal. Oh, it's not honest."
As he spoke, he took the other three separate sealed letters, glanced at them, and handed them out one by one.
"Here, for you alone. I guess the content in it is nothing more than let's not forget that we still have a home in the Star Luo Empire, and we have time to go back and see it or something."
After the two of them took it, they directly opened the copy with their names written on it. Oh Qing, let out a sneer:
"Oh, as expected, how much sincerity can a letter from a person without emotion have?"
"In that woman's eyes, there has always been only her bastard son, who has never had our place. We're all just tools to marry the royal family and secure her position as a bastard son."
"These letters should be the result of a joint discussion between the royal family and the Zhu family, with the purpose of using us to establish a relationship with Aman, and then stabilize Grandpa Dugu."
"After all, if Grandpa Dugu chooses to support the Heaven Dou Empire, some people are afraid that they will have trouble sleeping."
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuyu and Zhu Zhuqing both put down their letters, and their eyes darkened.
They have been taught in the family since they were sensible, and they are extremely strict, and even if they do well, they are rarely rewarded. On the contrary, it is the son-in-law Zhu Zhuhai, even if he is just a little obedient to his parents' wishes, he can get generous praise and rewards. Being treated so differently, it is impossible to say that there is no resentment in your heart.
They also crave affection, but they never really experience it. Now, it's another disappointment.
"Tuk Tuk..." The knock on the door suddenly sounded from outside the bedroom, and then Lin Manshan called softly, "Have you slept?"
"Not yet." Zhu Zhuyun hurriedly collected his emotions and got up to open the door.
Oh, with a creak, the door was opened, and Lin Manshan walked in with a gentle face.
He was actually outside sensing the mood swings of the three of them all the time, and if it was joy, he wouldn't come in. But it backfired, and what he perceived was depression and disappointment.
I think it was these so-called family letters, but the content did not satisfy the three of them.
As for the purpose behind Davis's letter, he can actually guess more or less.
The other two may not be able to see it, but the thoughtful Zhu Zhuyun can definitely read something between the lines. Although he rarely puts his emotions on his face, Zhu Zhuyun's heart is actually very sensitive. At this time, he felt uncomfortable, and he could feel it completely.
didn't speak, quietly hugged Zhu Zhuyun and sat on the edge of the bed. His gaze swept over and he said softly:
"And me."
The next moment, "Hmm." A crisp and firm voice reverberated through the room.
......
After a day's rest, the next morning, everyone got up early as usual, washed up and ate breakfast, and went out to the competition venue.
After arriving, with the return of the artesian draw, the list of opponents for the fourth round of the finals was newly released.
In the morning, Tianxing Academy vs. Yunhai Academy, the first place in the Star Luo Empire Promotion Tournament.
In the afternoon, Shrek Academy vs. Kamikaze Academy.
And just when Lin Manshan got the battle list here, in the rest area of Shrek Academy, Flender also returned with a solemn face.
"Our opponent in the afternoon is the Kamikaze Academy." The tone was very low.
"Obviously, this is deliberately done by the Soul Hall in order to put us in a fight with the two tigers of the Divine Wind Academy." Yu Xiaogang frowned slightly, "No matter who wins, I guess that the next opponent will definitely be Tianxing Academy. The purpose is simple, to consume and test the Tianxing Academy."
"This is using us as a tool." Flender smiled wryly.
"The Martial Spirit Hall is really insidious!" Xiao Wu, who was sitting beside Tang San, suddenly stopped crying.
"This is normal, in terms of the hard power of the contestants, the Tianxing Academy, which has multiple Soul Kings, is undoubtedly the biggest competitor of the Soul Palace. And so far in the game, Lin Manshan, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling have not yet played. In order to get a higher winning rate, the Martial Spirit Hall must of course do everything possible to force out the hole cards of the Tianxing Academy as much as possible before the battle." Yu Xiaogang said lightly: "After all, the reward for the champion is three top-grade soul bones, how can the Martial Spirit Hall not pay attention to it and be cautious?"
"This is also the reason why the Soul Hall wants to place the finals venue in Soul City."
"So that I can use it
The rules of the game secretly manipulate the game, and by arranging the list of opponents by themselves, the game situation will go in their favor. The previous arrangement of the Star Luo Empire against the Tianxing Academy should be for the same purpose."
"Hey, it's good to be on your own turf." Flender shook his head helplessly.
"It's just some opportunistic tricks, I don't even have the courage to face a strong enemy, how far can I go on the path of a soul master." Tang San's tone was flat, he didn't look at Yu Xiaogang, but looked around at his teammates, and then looked up at Flender, "Dean, in the afternoon game, I hope everyone can follow my command, I have a way to solve the opponent in the shortest possible time."
"And make sure not to expose the team's previous tactics."
"Oh? What's the solution?" Flender couldn't help but ask.
"Dean, please allow me to keep it a secret for the time being, and everything will be known when we get to the arena." Tang San smiled slightly, but his heart was cold, fire dance, wind and laughter, this is a killing move specially prepared for your academy.
Are you ready?
「......」
In a short time, the game began. Tianxing Academy fought against Yunhai Academy, in less than three minutes, the battle was over, and there was no suspense in the flat push game, even the strongest Star Luo Royal Academy in the Star Luo Empire was defeated by Tianxing Academy, not to mention the Yunhai Academy, which was not as strong as it.
In the other game in the morning, the game of the Martial Spirit Hall Academy, it was also a flat push.
The three members of the golden generation still haven't played, and for this, Shrek and everyone can't help but look a little heavy. If you don't appear, it means that you can't understand the soul skills and real standing power of the three people, which is definitely not good news for the future.
After a simple meal and rest at noon, in the afternoon, it was finally Shrek Academy's turn to play.
As the referee's voice fell, the members of the two teams slowly entered.
The enemy was very red when they met, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, and Tyrone who had been injured by the Blazing Fire Academy and the Divine Wind Academy... They all swept towards Huo Wu, Feng Xiaotian and others on the opposite side with a chill. Neither side spoke, but the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.
Seeing that the two sides were standing, the referee raised his right hand, and then fell, "The game begins!"
The two sides turned on the martial soul almost at the same time, and immediately, "The third soul technique, cobweb binding." Tang San directly released the third soul technique on the spot, and the vines rose from the ground, wrapping all the people of Shrek in an airtight airtight, completely invisible to the internal situation.
"Tang San must be preparing something, don't give him a chance." Fire Dance let out a low shout, and then put his hands together, "Fourth Soul Technique, Fire Dance Radiant Sun." The bright flames instantly converged in the palm of his hand, and at the same time, "Second Soul Technique, Sparks Like Rain." Like rain and fire lines burst out from the hands of the auxiliary soul master, converging towards Feng Xiaotian and other teammates who were soaring into the air, and the wind wings instantly turned into fire wings.
Immediately, Feng Xiaotian, who had completed the release of the amplification soul skill, took his teammates and flew straight to the Shrek Academy formation.
The distance of nearly thirty meters was almost there, and several people quickly came to the sky above the vine.
And at that moment, "Poof!" The vines below suddenly cracked, turning into countless fragments and falling, revealing Tang San who was standing at the front, with the eight spider spears behind him already unfurled. and his teammates who were standing not far behind him, and they couldn't see much change on their faces.
Feng Xiaotian's heart was stunned, "This is!?"
As a Soul Sect with a wolf beast martial soul, he could now fully sense that Tang San's body had already had some overflowing terrifying energy.
"It's a fusion technique, go back first!" Hurriedly shouted, and at the same time fanned his wings, "First Soul Skill, Wind Blade Array!" Ten wind blades with flaming light were suddenly thrown out, swept towards Tang San at an extremely fast speed, and then turned around and flew away.
"It's too late!" Tang San sneered, in order not to expose all his strength, he didn't choose to let his teammates transfer all the soul power in his body to him, so everyone's complexions didn't change because of the loss of strength.
In addition, the preparation time is greatly reduced.
But even so, his strength has now been greatly improved.
And that's enough for him.
The words fell, "Xuanyu Hand!" The palms suddenly turned white as jade, and the arms waved with it, and from a distance, the phantom of the eight arms appeared in an instant, and the eight spider spears behind them were also stretched forward.
The purple-black waterdrop-like texture is presented at the tip of the spear. Near the joints, several barbs seemed to be missing, looking a little irregular, and the phantom shadow of the arm brushed by, and the texture of the spear tip instantly faded.
"Tang San, this is smearing poison on the palm of his hand! In addition, some of the barbs on the eight spider spears have been broken off." Lin Manshan, who was sitting in the rest area, suddenly frowned slightly. The poison contained inside the Eight Spider Spears was not comparable to the toxins attached to the Blue Silver Grass.
"One Thousand and One Nights!" With a soft shout, the fragments of vines that fell from the sky were picked up one by one by Tang San's waving hands, and then they were thrown out in an instant.
At the same time, white spores also gathered in his hands and were thrown out one after another without any gaps.
In the blink of an eye, a fan-shaped cluster of light appeared in front of me, between white and blue-purple, and the speed was extremely fast.
The flying wind blade was instantly pierced by the dense streamer, and Feng Xiaotian and the others who were flying in the air were also caught up in an instant.
"Puff puff..." was scattered by Feng Xiaotian's continuously flapping wind wings, but in the next second, a new streamer arrived, "This force is so strong!" His heart couldn't help but tremble, just two beats were scattered, and his arm was a little numb.
On the other side, "Ahhh A teammate was hit in the back and fell in severe pain.
Then the second, the third... Just in the blink of an eye, only the wind and laughter were left in the air.
"Rely on fusion techniques to improve personal cultivation, bless the body with abundant soul power, make up for the shortcomings of lack of strength, and use dense attacks to form suppression, and many of the fragments are also smeared with the poison of the Eight Spider Spears. Tang San, you have indeed made some progress during this time." Lin Manshan sighed secretly, and then shook his head slightly, "It's a pity, playing around, it's still a secret weapon, and there is nothing new at all."
"It's even more useless to me." Add a word inwardly.
In the middle of his thoughts, in the ring, the fire dance in the distance was also covered by streamers.
"Third Soul Skill, Resist the Ring of Fire." In the face of such a dense attack, Huo Wu did not hesitate to stop condensing and hurriedly launched the third soul technique. A wall of fire suddenly rose in front of his body, scattering all the flying debris and spores.
However, beyond the height of the Ring of Fire's attack, it was still raining down.
Faced with this situation, Feng Xiaotian also instantly understood Tang San's intentions.
First, use dense attacks to thwart or even shoot down the Kamikaze Academy members with wind attribute martial spirits, and at the same time send the spores created by the fourth soul technique into the air, especially on the top of Fire Dance's head. Without them around, so many spores exploded, and the dust produced was difficult to completely resist.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly accelerated and flew back.
And at that moment, "Boom!" Tang San drank softly, and all the spores in the sky, on the ground, all exploded.
Suddenly, most of the ring raised white dust.
At the same time, Feng Xiaotian also rushed to the sky above Huowu, and quickly flashed his wings to blow the dust away.
With Fire Dance as the center, the dust is quickly cleared within a five-meter range.
