Chapter 202 The Promotion Competition Begins
Returning to the palace, Emperor Xue Ye immediately asked Xue Qinghe where he went yesterday and why he disappeared without giving any information.
Xue Qinghe solemnly apologized to Emperor Xue Ye, and then told Emperor Xue Ye that yesterday he went to the place where Lu Bao was practicing and got Lu Bao's permission to watch him practice.
Why can a soul master with a fourth soul ring absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring?
I believe everyone on the mainland is very interested, so in order to explore this secret, Xue Qinghe observed Lu Bao for a whole day at the place where he practiced.
After hearing this explanation, Emperor Xue Ye was dubious, but because he had asked Xue Qinghe to accompany him when he went to other cities to observe the public sentiment, the two had a certain friendship.
Emperor Xueye also supported the exchange of talents between the prince and those valued by the Tiandou Empire. He no longer had any worries or suspicions. He even wondered whether the prince Xue Beng wanted to win the crown prince's position, so he secretly killed his brother Xue Qinghe.
Fortunately, everything was a false alarm.
After winning the trust of Emperor Xue Ye, Qian Renxue finally let go of her worries and continued to lurk in the palace as Xue Qinghe. She no longer dared to mess around. In the future, she would have to practice martial soul fusion skills with Lu Bao Bao in moderation. OK. Otherwise, if another incident occurs, it will definitely make people suspicious.
"."
Ever since Lu Baolan and Qian Renxue completed their first martial soul fusion in a light-filled room, they had developed a very subtle feeling for each other.
Whenever two people look at each other, an indescribable sense of intimacy and tacit understanding will arise spontaneously. Even without verbal communication, they seem to be able to sense what the other person is going to do next.
And when the two people's bodies came into contact, their bodies seemed to be connected, and each other's soul power could actually communicate with each other and enter each other's body.
Lu Buli thought that this should be the magical effect of the fusion of martial souls.
Holding hands, the two of them practiced together much faster than they could practice alone.
Therefore, Lu Baohai would take the time to go to the light-filled room every day, face to face with Qian Renxue, sit cross-legged, hands connected, and together they would use the strong sunlight in the room to help them practice.
First, more than a thousand soul beasts are superimposed on his body every day, and then he is assisted by a light-filled mimicry training environment. Finally, he and Qian Renxue are dual-cultivation. These three benefits are added together, and finally Lu Baoli’s cultivation is improved. The speed was increased to the extreme.
In less than half a month, his soul power increased from level 67 to level 68.
Qian Renxue's soul power only improved after half a month. She is now at level sixty-six.
After discovering that practicing together can indeed increase the speed of soul power improvement, Qian Renxue also enjoyed it. During the process of dual cultivation, the two souls not only became more familiar with each other's aura, but also the soul power gradually merged into a whole, and they were able to perform Martial soul fusion skills.
However, currently only the fusion skill of two martial spirits can be activated, and it is not possible to fuse four martial spirits at the same time, which requires more intimate behavior from both parties.
Not only Lu Baolan and Qian Renxue are practicing hard, but every academy team that has passed the qualifiers is also working hard to break through their limits this month and be fully prepared for the next promotions and finals.
When a soul master is immersed in training, time always passes quickly.
Day after day, a month flies by in a blink of an eye.
Just today, the elite competition finally ushered in the second stage: the promotion competition.
The promotion stage of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament is not as lively as the qualifying rounds. For the safety of soul masters, no spectators are allowed to watch the promotion stage.
The promotion round is still divided into two empires.
Thirty teams that passed the qualifiers competed in their respective empires.
On the Tiandou Empire side, the five teams that qualified for the Tiandou City qualifier division are Tiandou Team 2, Divine Wind Academy, Thunder Academy, Tianshui Academy, and Shrek Academy.
Including these five colleges, a total of fifteen college teams have completed the entire registration process in the morning and are now gathering at the promotion venue.
The venue for the promotion competition was transformed from the Royal Hunting Ground, located fifty kilometers southwest of Tiandou City.
In order to avoid unnecessary troubles and conflicts, and to prevent the strength of each college entering the promotion competition from being observed by other colleges, the fifteen senior soul master college teams entering the promotion competition were arranged to rest in different places.
For the promotion competition, the Tiandou Empire royal family has already made preparations for all participating teams.
When Teacher Sun led Lu Baoli, Li Gang, and other members of Tiandou Team 2 here, the first thing they saw was the huge Royal Knights.
The Royal Knights have always been an elite team created by the Tiandou Empire's royal family, with a total of 50,000 people, among which captains with levels above 100 are composed of soul masters.
"Please show me the letter." Teacher Sun, Lu Bao, Li Gang and others were stopped by the peripheral personnel of the Royal Knights. The so-called handbook is the qualification certificate issued during the qualifying award ceremony.
Teacher Sun handed the certificate to the other party, and the knight in silver armor immediately saluted everyone.
"Welcome, soul masters from the second team of the Tiandou Royal Academy. I am Luxen, captain of the third team of the Tiandou Royal Knights. I hope that you will also win glory for the empire in the promotion competition. Please come with me."
After saying that, Luoxen did not get on his horse and led Teacher Sun, Lu Bao and a group of ten people to the inside of the hunting ground.
After climbing over a hill, everyone's eyes suddenly opened up. What appeared in front of them was a wide grassland. The view was widened, which made people feel good and indescribably comfortable.
On the grassland, large military camps formed a circle. Roxon pointed to the camp and introduced: "The promotion competition for the Continental Senior Soul Master Elite Tournament will be held in the center of the military camp. Your safety and privacy can be absolutely guaranteed."
Looking at the large arena surrounded by countless military camps, Lu Buli thought to himself, Emperor Xue Ye really knew how to choose a place. This promotion competition was held in a military camp, and the Royal Knights would undoubtedly be spectators. It would be more interesting to watch the battle between soul masters. Stimulating the determination of these knights to practice hard will also give them a certain understanding of the strength of soul masters.
The members of Tiandou's second team were taken to a large military camp, and a total of ten barracks were allocated to them to rest. The army barracks were certainly not luxurious, but they were kept very clean.
Before the promotion competition ends, both the five teams from the Tiandou Division and the academy teams from the Kingdom and Principality will live here.
Roxon gave a standard military salute to Teacher Sun, "Please take a rest early. Tomorrow the promotion competition will officially begin. At that time, someone will lead you to the competition venue. The outcome of the competition will be jointly determined by experts from the Empire and Wuhun Palace. To show justice.”
"Thank you, Captain Roxon." Teacher Sun returned the greeting with a smile.
Roxon smiled and said: "As an Imperial College team, I also hope that Teacher Sun can lead all the geniuses to win more honors for the Empire. I won't disturb you all, and I'll take my leave first."
"good."
After chatting, Roxon rode away.
Teacher Sun assigned rooms to contestants such as Lu Baoliang and Li Gang. There were ten teachers and students in total, and ten tents were just right.
Just as they were settling in, people from other colleges were brought over by other captains of the Royal Knights.
Divine Wind Academy, Thunder Academy, Tianshui Academy, and Shrek Academy belong to the Tiandou Division.
The Balak Academy of the Balak Kingdom, as well as the Alien Beast Academy, and other academy teams were taken to their respective camps.
A knight team captain led the team leader and contestants from Tianshui College passing by the military camp where Tiandou Team 2 was temporarily staying. Shui Yue'er ignored everyone's gaze and threw herself at Lu Bao'er excitedly, "Alian. Long time no see." "
Lu Baobao subconsciously hugged Shui Yue'er. The relationship between them had not yet been established, just because Shui Yue'er was usually carefree and not as restrained as other sisters. She had not seen each other for a month, so her hug was just to express her longing for her.
After a brief hug, Lu Baobao gently pushed Shui Yue'er away.
Shui Bing'er felt sour in her heart when she saw the two of them making out, but her face remained as calm as before, and she said with a slight smile: "Long time no see."
Lu Bao nodded.
"A-Liang, let me tell you, this month, our Tianshui Academy has prepared another super powerful fusion technique." Shui Yue'er said in a harmless manner: "You must use your martial spirit by then, otherwise you will Injured. Last time we were injured by Shrek's Tang San, you found someone to help us treat it. I don't want to see you injured by us."
"Fusion skills?" Lu Baohao looked at Shui Bing'er curiously, "Could it be that you can use the trinity of martial soul fusion skills now?"
Just when Shui Yue'er was about to rush to reply, Yu Hairou grabbed her ears and dragged her back.
Qiu Ruoshui and Gu Qingbo, one on the left and the other on the right, tied Shui Yue'er's waving hands with ropes, blocked her mouth with silk cloth to prevent her from revealing any secrets, and the three of them carried her back to the academy team.
The captain of the Royal Knights first took the teachers and students of Tianshui Academy to stay in the designated camp.
Shui Bing'er stayed where she was and said with a smile: "Before you see Tianshui Academy's fusion skills, let's fulfill our last agreement. If I meet you in the promotion competition, I will go all out."
"Okay." Lu Badan said cheerfully: "This time I will show you how big the gap is between us. However, if you are hit and lose your confidence, don't blame me."
"Don't worry. I hate losing, but I can afford to lose." As he said this, Shui Bing'er's cold face suddenly felt hot, she lowered her head slightly, considered for a moment before tentatively saying: "Are you free tonight? You've been a month old You didn’t teach me how to master soul control.”
Lu Hao smiled and said, "I'm free. But this is the base of the Royal Knights' military camp, and there's no place for you to do special training late at night."
"If you don't mind, you can come to my camp and teach me." When she said this, Shui Bing'er had already lowered her head, her whole body was warm, she was extremely focused, she just wanted to hear Lu Bad affirmative sounds.
At this moment, Shui Bing'er felt that the passage of time was very slow. Her ears and mental strength had been capturing the movements around her, but there were only slight footsteps in the military camp and the neighing of war horses.
Lu Liang thought for a moment before responding: "Forget it. The promotion competition will start early tomorrow morning. Staying up late to practice will only be counterproductive. When the promotion competition is over, I will teach you how to master the control of soul power in the next step."
After hearing this answer, Shui Bing'er was obviously a little disappointed. However, she knew it was her fault. Last time Lu Bao sent her back to the hotel to rest, something indescribable happened between the two of them in the room. Because of his own reserve, he drove Lu Bao away.
Now, how could Lu Baolian agree?
Looking up and seeing Lu Bao'er's polite smile when he rejected her, Shui Bing'er suddenly recalled Lu Bao'er's stiff, cold smile last time.
Until now, she still couldn't figure out whether Lu Baoli misunderstood her and Yu Tianxin at that time, that's why he was so cold, or was she overthinking it?
Complex emotions arose in her heart. Shui Bing'er felt that she had too many things to worry about. She was afraid of sorry for her sister, so she hesitated to move forward. She wanted to work hard to grasp the person she liked, but she was always timid and did not dare to take that step. step.
At this moment, Shui Bing'er wished that a skill similar to blackening could be used on herself, allowing her to put aside all worries and kindness, become selfish, and no longer think about her sister, but only herself.
Seeing that Shui Bing'er seemed troubled by many things, Lu Baohao patted her shoulder and said half-jokingly: "Don't think too much. Just have a good rest tonight. Maybe we will meet in the promotion match tomorrow. .If you lose to me then, don’t make any excuses for not having a good rest last night.”
"Okay." A strange look flashed in Shui Bing'er's eyes, as if the sun had cleared through the clouds. Her dull mood became a little more relaxed. She looked at Lu Bao and said firmly: "Even if I lose, I will let you be there." I can’t get the slightest advantage in my hands!”
Just as the two of them finished chatting, Shrek's teachers and students also passed by the Tiandou Second Team's camp, led by a knight captain.
The so-called enemies were extremely jealous when they met each other. The moment she saw Tang San, Shui Bing'er's eyes suddenly became sharp. You know, in the last qualifying match, Tianshui Academy not only lost to the Shrek students, she and her six The sisters were all seriously injured under Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer.
If Lu Bao had not treated them, they would have been lying on the hospital bed for a month, and it would have been impossible for them to participate in the promotion competition unharmed.
Tang San was not only the number one natural enemy of Blazing Fire Academy, but also the object of hatred of Tianshui Academy.
In the finals, Shui Binger vowed that she would definitely seek justice for her sisters and make Tang San pay the price.
Tang San immediately noticed Shui Bing'er's hostile gaze, but Ma Hongjun thought that Shui Bing'er was interested in Tang San, so he teased in Tang San's ear, "Third brother, you are so beautiful. You have Shui Bing'er Bing'er was injured, but she looked at you so affectionately."
Tang San was not narcissistic to this extent. He knew that Shui Bing'er was looking at him with anger. His companion was seriously injured, so who wouldn't want to avenge his companion?
"Fat man, don't make trouble. Didn't you see? The coldness in Shui Bing'er's eyes could kill people." Tang San said calmly: "If we meet in the promotion competition, she might unleash her anger on you. Then, Your fire phoenix is about to turn into a frozen turkey."
As he spoke, Tang San's eyes had fallen on Lu Baoli, and his expression suddenly became solemn.
Lu Baolio looked back at Tang San's hostility. He knew that Tang San was a man who was determined to retaliate.
