Chapter 202: Numerous Breakthroughs to Soul King_2

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the two of them flew extremely high and far, tracing a long parabola before crashing heavily outside the arena.

Thud, thud.

After they fell to the ground, they didn't get up again.

They were actually knocked unconscious.

Another instant knock-out.

This was quite normal, after all, Meng Yiran's cultivation level had reached the 59th level of the Soul King, and with Ning Rongrong's support, her strength had increased by 50%.

Not to mention facing two mere Soul Elders, even a Soul Emperor might be able to put up a fight.

"Don't, don't come over here."

The captain of the Sky Dou Royal Team Two had been scared out of his wits as Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran approached, and he kept backing away.

But who could he command?

Or rather, the ones who could listen to his orders were already down.

Ah, wait, that's not right, there's still one person left.

He looked at the coquettish woman beside him and said viciously, "You stop them, quick."

"Stop them? You think too highly of me."

The woman was also cursing under her breath.

She hadn't expected that the usually arrogant captain was just a coward when no one dare to deal with him.

"Zhu Qing, Yiran, beat them hard."

"Teach them a lesson for their insolence."

From the back, Ning Rongrong shouted loudly.

She hadn't forgotten the words these two had spoken.

Meanwhile, the captain of Heaven Dou Second Team's expression changed drastically, "Wait, we admit..."

He decided to surrender.

But before he could finish his sentence, a shadow had already reached him.

Zhu Zhuqing obviously knew what he was trying to say, but could she give him the chance?

The captain of the Heaven Dou Second Team panicked.

In a fluster, he unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks in front of him.

But his attacks were now extremely disorderly and couldn't touch a single hair on Zhu Zhuqing's head.

However, Zhu Zhuqing found a gap during his attacks.

A punch landed heavily on his abdomen.

"Argh..."

The captain of the Heaven Dou Second Team let out a cry of pain.

His upper body still in an attacking posture, he staggered backward.

Fine beads of sweat immediately appeared on his face.

It was hard to imagine the pain he was enduring.

On the contrary.

The coquettish woman beside him was much luckier.

Although she had been insolent too, Meng Yiran had simply knocked her out with one strike of her staff.

At this moment, he wished he were a woman; at least that might significantly reduce his physical suffering.

But that was just wishful thinking, as the next thing to greet him was another round of punches and kicks.

"Bang, bang, bang."

Like a punching bag, he was being double-teamed by Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran.

In the end, it was the teacher leading the Sky Dou Royal Team Two in the stands who couldn't bear to watch anymore and surrendered on their behalf.

With that, the first match came to a successful conclusion.

"Hehe, the captain of the Sky Dou Royal Team Two really is a man, getting hammered back and forth by Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran for 5 minutes without surrendering,"

Qin Xiao commented, chuckling, from the VIP seats.

But after hearing his words, Dream Divine Machine's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

What kind of talk was that?

Was it that the kid didn't want to call out?

He had already been knocked unconscious, yet he had suffered 5 minutes of ruthless beating, right?

At the same time, he also realized that the Shrek squad was not to be trifled with.

And not just him, everyone else thought the same.

They secretly added this group of violent girls to their blacklist.

They were determined that if the teams they led unfortunately encountered these people, they would surrender immediately; better that than suffer the agony, since they couldn't beat them anyway.

Today, there was only one match.

With the end of the match, the crowd also began to disperse.

"Brother Qin, Rongrong's cultivation level has improved so quickly, thanks to you. Aside from her cultivation level, she must have also mastered our Seven Treasures Glaze Sect's Concentration Control Technique to a high level, right?

I see she is assisting Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran quite effortlessly."

Ning Fengzhi said with satisfaction.

"Hahaha, all this is down to Rongrong's hard work. But you're right, Sect Master Ning, Rongrong has indeed practiced your sect's secret technique to the level of four apertures."

"And at this level, she also has deep insights; if she can obtain her fifth Soul Ring, she will immediately reach the level of five apertures,"

Qin Xiao answered truthfully.

It had to be said that Ning Rongrong had really worked hard these past two years.

Both her cultivation level and the speed at which she mastered the sect's secret methods had increased rapidly.

"Good, good, good."

Ning Fengzhi repeated 'good' three times, which clearly showed how gratified he was in his heart.

Qin Xiao could understand this.

The sentiment of hoping one's child would excel was natural.

Suddenly, Ning Fengzhi grabbed Qin Xiao's arm, "Let's go, Brother Qin, no matter what, today I must prepare a banquet in your honor."

However, before Qin Xiao could agree, Qian Renxue grabbed his other arm.

"Mr. Qin, there are some matters for which Your Highness seeks you,"

Eh? Qin Xiao was astonished.

Was he really that popular?

Which one should he choose?

...

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed since the Continental Soul Master Championship had begun, and the events in the Tiandou Empire were nearing their end.

During this time, aside from the opening ceremony, Qin Xiao had only participated in two matches.

One was the Shrek squad versus the Blazing Fire Battle Team, and the other was against the Divine Wind Battle Team.

The outcome was that he never got the chance to take the field, for with the strength of the Shrek squad, breezing through each match was a foregone conclusion.

Today was the last contest, and the Shrek squad's opponent was the Skywater Battle Team.

This fight caught Qin Xiao's attention.

Of course, it wasn't because the members of the Skywater Battle Team were particularly strong, but because the members' appearances were all top-notch.

It was very much in line with the Tian Shui Academy's standards for recruiting students: if they weren't beautiful, they weren't wanted.

But appreciation aside, Qin Xiao didn't harbor too many other thoughts.

After all, he already had enough beauties around him.

Besides, even the most beautiful member of the Skywater Battle Team was only on par with Ning Rongrong and the others.

The battle soon came to an end.

The referee announced the final outcome, and it was a victory for the Shrek squad.

Everyone found this entirely unsurprising; they all knew that from the day the Shrek squad stood on the stage, the champion's spot was destined to belong to them.

After the battle ended, the spirits of the Skywater Battle Team members were still good; they didn't seem disheartened or resentful for losing to the Shrek squad.

What of it?

Everyone lost to the Shrek squad, so isn't it normal that we did too?

As far as they were concerned, not admitting this was the problem.

Of course, they didn't come away empty-handed; at the very least, they gained some rich combat experience.

In the end, Emperor Xue Qinghe of the Tiandou Empire gave the closing speech.

His words were impassioned, filled with encouragement and inspiration. He also informed everyone that the Tiandou Empire would dispatch a guard squad of over a thousand to escort the qualifying teams to Spirit City for the final competition.

For a moment, Qin Xiao felt he truly was a good emperor of the Tiandou Empire.

"Spirit City?"

"Having been in this world for quite some time, I have never gone to see it."

Qin Xiao found himself looking forward to it.

Looking forward to seeing Bi Bidong and meeting Qiandaoliu.

"Your Highness, there are still a few days before we depart, and I wish to leave for a short while,"

Suddenly, Dugu Yan tiptoed up to Qin Xiao.

With one glance, Qin Xiao knew why.

He said with a smile, "Yanyan, congratulations, you've actually succeeded in breaking through to the 50th rank before the finals."

From the aura emanating off of Dugu Yan, Qin Xiao knew she had made a breakthrough.

After hearing Qin Xiao's words, Dugu Yan felt delighted, "Hehe, I also have to thank the recent battles. It has to be said, only through combat can one grow quickly."

"Yanyan, Grandpa is here to pick you up,"

No sooner had Qin Xiao finished speaking with Dugu Yan, than Du Gu Bo approached.

"Your Highness, I'll leave with Grandpa first," Dugu Yan said, and then waved goodbye to Qin Xiao.

Du Gu Bo gave Qin Xiao a slight nod of his head.

In the grand soul fighting arena, with many eyes around, both of them wished to avoid having more people discover the relationship between them.

"Haha, Brother Qin, there you are,"

Scarcely had Du Gu Bo left when Qin Xiao heard a hearty laugh beside him.

He turned his head to see Sect Master Ning and Ning Rongrong approaching, one after the other.

"Is there something you need, Sect Master Ning?"

"Indeed."

Ning Fengzhi, glancing at Ning Rongrong, spoke slowly, "Rongrong's cultivation level has also progressed through the Soul Master Championship and has reached the 50th level. I plan to have Uncle Jian lead her on a Soul Hunting expedition."
