Chapter 3116: Friendly Match Slot_1

Seeing Evil Moon somewhat relaxed, Flame felt that it was time for revenge and said with a cold laugh, "Evil Moon, don't celebrate too soon. If you don't find time to stabilize your cultivation, you will encounter this problem again in the future. I'm right, aren't I, Xu Sheng?"

Xu Sheng didn't deny his point, "Hmm, Flame is right. When you cultivate too quickly, you'll frequently run into this kind of issue!"

Evil Moon's brows furrowed slightly as he seemed to realize the seriousness of the situation and immediately asked, "Xu Sheng, how should I stabilize my cultivation level?"

Although having an unstable foundation may seem trivial, since the former mentioned that it would affect future achievements, it must be treated with caution!

He certainly didn't want to end up unable to reach the rank of Titled Douluo or even Soul Douluo in the future—that would be too embarrassing!

Hulena suddenly interjected, "Brother, I know this, it's like sparring with others more often!!"

Evil Moon immediately understood, "I see, I didn't expect it to be so simple, then I'll go now..."

Xu Sheng chuckled lightly and added, "Nana, you're exaggerating a bit, actually, you just need to be mindful of the time you spend cultivating and not continue for too long!"

"It's not necessary to spar with other Soul Masters, although that's the most effective way!"

Hulena merely blinked her eyes and then, coquettishly clinging to his arm, said, "I was just guessing, and you said it's the most efficient method anyway!"

Flame, on the other hand, was staring at Evil Moon excitedly, "With that being the case, what are we waiting for? Evil Moon, come and spar with me!"

"Just before, I even received Xu Sheng's first compliment, impressive, right?"

The advancement in the other's strength made him itch to fight!

Evil Moon had no desire to fight him, responding dismissively, "Ah... impressive, indeed, but I'm not going!"

Being praised by Xu Sheng, Flame must have made significant improvements!

He already knew his head-on combat abilities were inferior to Flame's and that he might get beaten up!

So, it was better to avoid the confrontation!

Flame immediately felt like his punch had hit cotton, exclaiming in anger, "What?? Are you scared?"

"Moreover, didn't you hear what Xu Sheng said before about unstable foundations? It means you need more sparring!!"

Evil Moon ignored him and turned to Xu Sheng, "By the way, Xu Sheng, do you know about the upcoming friendly match?"

Hulena also tapped her forehead and said with a pained expression, "Oh no, I think I forgot to tell Xu Sheng about it!"

Hearing this unfamiliar information, Xu Sheng also became somewhat interested, "A friendly match? What does that mean?"

Evil Moon replied truthfully, "As the name implies, it's a sparring competition between Martial Soul Hall, Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and the Elemental Academy!"

Xu Sheng nodded in understanding and inquired further, "What about the other academies?"

Evil Moon shook his head, "Other academies don't qualify to participate; after all, it's a format independently devised by Martial Soul Hall and the Tian Dou Imperial Family!"

"Only when the true Continental Senior Soul Master Elite Competition is held are all academies allowed to participate!"

Xu Sheng propped up his chin, "I see. That means, from Martial Soul Hall's side, the members of the Golden Generation will be competing, right?"

After saying this, he glanced at the other students nearby...

"But with so many members of Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, surely not all of them are going?"

Evil Moon's cheeks showed a troubled expression, "Of course not, this isn't a formal competition, so only three people can be chosen to go!!"

Hulena and Flame looked at each other, and they seemed to have thought of something, both slowly hanging their heads...

This situation made Xu Sheng narrow his eyes, "Why do you both have that look on your faces?"

Evil Moon took a deep breath and answered reluctantly, "Actually, the original plan from Her Holiness the Pope was for me, Nana, and Flame to represent Martial Soul Hall in the battle."

"But after that, Xu Sheng, you suddenly announced your joining Martial Soul Hall and were then made the Saint Heir..."

Flame suddenly interrupted, "Evil Moon, stop talking, you, Nana, and Xu Sheng should join together!"

Evil Moon and Hulena turned to Flame with worried expressions, "But Flame, haven't you always wanted to participate?"

When the slot for the competition was announced, no one was more excited than her!

Now, to kick her out of the team was really something they didn't have the heart to do!

Flame clenched her fists, put on a forced smile, and said, "Among the members of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation, Xu Sheng's strength is the most formidable, having reached the realm of a Titled Douluo. With him participating, defeating Heaven Dou Royal Academy and the other Elemental Academies would be a piece of cake!"

"So, don't worry about me!"

Upon hearing this, the look of guilt on Evil Moon and the other's face deepened...

Understanding the situation, Xu Sheng also sighed, "So that's the case, no wonder you two had such expressions!"

"But I can be certain that Her Holiness the Pope will not let me participate!"

At that moment, Evil Moon and the others suddenly lifted their heads in disbelief...

Flame asked urgently, "Xu Sheng, are you joking? With your strength, you could definitely overpower the other academies. How could Her Holiness the Pope not agree?"

Xu Sheng emphasized again, "That's exactly why Her Holiness the Pope will not agree!"

Evil Moon thought for a moment, his eyes shining as he said, "I understand now. Her Holiness the Pope has always seen Xu Sheng as the trump card for capturing the championship in the elite Soul Master contest of the entire continent. Naturally, she wouldn't use him in an occasion like this!"

"Moreover, Xu Sheng is a Titled Douluo. Once exposed to the eyes of all the major powers, it could stir up all sorts of trouble!"

Hulena also caught on, "I get it now. If that's the case, our teacher really won't let Xu Sheng participate!"

Flame was startled for a moment and said with a trembling voice, "Evil Moon, Nana, do you mean..."

Before they could reply, Xu Sheng interjected, "That's right, for this friendship match, the most likely ones Pope will send are you, Nana, and Evil Moon!"

After hearing this, Flame excitedly grabbed Evil Moon's sleeve, "That's great, just fantastic!!"

The latter was shaken until he felt dizzy and blankly said, "Flame, stop it, stop!!"

Hulena walked over to Xu Sheng and blinked, "If Flame is participating, what about you, Xu Sheng? What will you do?"

Xu Sheng shook his head, "I'm not very interested in this kind of friendship match, and as the Saint Heir, I should be entitled to watch, right?"

The former gave him a confirming answer, "Naturally, you are!"

Xu Sheng nodded slightly, "Then that's enough. Of course, if possible, I still hope you can defeat the other academies!"

Hulena raised her fist, "Yes, we definitely will, and we won't let you down, Xu Sheng!"

"Eh? Why is it about not letting me down?"

"Because, Xu Sheng, you have taught us so much about combat. If we still lose, we would have no face to come back!"
