CH 144
(nobody's POV)
As they started walking away, colorful lights lighted up the place while Ali and the others waved at the crowed.
After walking out of the building, they met up with the others who came to greet them. Ning Rongrong walked towards Zhuqing as she grabbed her arm :"Zhuqing, you have become a lot stronger!
But, how do you also have all century millennium soul rings match? Didn't Ali say that he has it only because of his bloodline?"
Zhuqing smiled as she nodded :"the reason why my soul rings have been transformed into century millennium soul rings is actually because of Ali."
'Ali had told me in the past that if I'm questioned about my soul rings, I should just leave it for him to explain. I wonder how he will explain such a thing...'
Hearing her words, Oscar's eyes lighted up as he immediately latched onto his arm with a smile :"boss Ali, we are friends, aren't we?! Shouldn't you also transform our soul rings?!"
The eyes of everyone else also brightened, after all, we're talking about having all of your soul rings transformed into century millennium soul rings.
Who wouldn't be tempted and freaked out about it? But Ali just rolled his eyes before he took his arm away and knocked him on the head :"you dumbass, do you think it's that easy?!
The only reason why I was able to do it was because Zhuqing is my lover. That's why it was possible."
While Oscar hissed in pain, Dai Mubai looked at him with confusion :"but, why are you able to do it just for her? What does being your lover have to do with it?"
Ali face palmed as he sighed :"idiots, tell me, what is it that you can only do with your lover and can't do it with anyone else? I'll give you a hint, you can only do it in private."
Hearing his words, a look of realization downed upon everyone as the most gave him a knowing smirk while the girls blushed.
Zhuqing also went beat red before her hand suddenly appeared on Ali's waist and she pinched the tiny amount of fat before twisting it with no remorse.
Ali's eyes went wide as he tried to move away from her pinch, only to have it stretch his meat instead.
Ali gritted his teeth in pain as he clawed his hand to distract himself from the pain :"Zhuqing, Zhuqing stop! You might actually tear my flesh off if you don't let go!"
But she finally showed mercy as she let go with a snort. Ali hissed in pain as he rubbed the spot to sooth the pain.
But when he looked around, he saw the guys giving him approving nods and smirks, causing him to shake his head in amusement.
-
A few days had passed since the match against the Elephant Armoured team. In these few days, Zhuqing hadn't fought in many of them since the opponents hardly had any soul sects.
So Ali participated in a few just because he was bored and didn't participate in some so that the others could have some fun.
ND now, the Shrek team were sitting in their room, goofing around. Ali, Zhuqing and Jiang Zhu were sitting on a couch.
The girls were talking while Ali was just resting his eyes as he rested his head on the couch, waiting.
The couch wasn't small, so the other two girls, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong were also sitting on it and chatting.
Since Ali had made up his mind that he will get Jiang Zhu, the girls knew that they couldn't change his mind.
And if they tried to deny him, he will probably use his Ultimate Incubus mark to make them incredibly horny just to deny their climax after they fuck and continue to deny it till they agree.
So, since they weren't feeling like doing that, and since they also liked the gentle Jiang Zhu, they helplessly agreed.
There were already four of them with Ali's master, so one more couldn't hurt them anyway. And in these few days, Zhuqing and Erlong have spent some time with her outside of the tournament.
As Ali yawned at the end of the couch while the girls chatted, Oscar's boastful voice came as he toyed around with a sausage :"the first 6 rounds of preliminary are over.
Other than Elephant Armoured school which Zhuqing took care of single handedly, why are there no more decent opponents? All of my sausages are useless now."
But he spoke out, the door opened up and Yu Xiaogang with Yu Chang in his arm, Erlong and Flender walked in.
As Yu Chang giggled at everyone while swinging her arms around, Yu Xiaogang spoke out :"since you're keen to battle, I'll find an opportunity for you in the future. But it's not today."
Everybody in the room was a little surprised at him as Ali raised his head and raised an eyebrow :"why's that? It's definitely not because an opponent is too strong since we have me and Zhuqing."
Erlong made her way to Ali as Zhuqing moved a little to give her some room to sit. So she did before Erlong put her hand on his chest and gave him a peck on the lip :"hello, love."
Ali smirked, and his smirk grew once he saw the slightly saddened look on Yu Xiaogang face who coughed :"no, it's definitely not that.
The reason for why you can't today is because your opponents of today, Othello school has abstained. It seems that your fame has been well spread."
Ali snorted as he got even more comfortable in his seat and put his head on Erlong's shoulder :"about damn time a team with some brains showed up.
I mean, come on, man, you're against a team that has two soul kings with both of them having a full century millennium soul rings match.
You're supposed to surrender just when the soul kings part is said, but all of them think that they will magically win. Hmph, dumb ass gahbalar."
Erlong chuckled as she raised her hand and gently caressed his cheek :"well, you can't expect everyone to be smart.
They probably just didn't want to take the humiliation of actually surrendering in the tournament, that's why they fought."
Flender :"all of you are well known now. Yet, being your dean, this will never be enough for me. You know it well, right? Don't get defeated by the others."
Dai Mubai got up from his seat as he raised his fist :"dean is right. We shouldn't take it lightly!"
All of them nodded, but Ali just rolled his eyes :"bro, you do know that me just participating in this tournament is like bulling, right?
It's not that I'm taking this lightly, it's just that there ain't nobody that can make me go serious. You've seen it yourself!
With my soul skills and the sheer quality of my martial soul, I'm the nemesis of every soul master. The top dog in the control branch."
Erlong snorted with a smirk while everyone else smiled helplessly as Zhuqing sighed :"that is true, Ali. But you still should be careful."
Ali grumbled as he sighed :"fine, fine. And when did I go easy on my opponents anyway. I always put a little effort in the fight. I just want to let others have some time to shine."
Erlong finally took the responsibility of ending the small argument :"alright, you two. That's enough. Xiaogang, tell them what we came here for."
Yu Xiaogang nodded as after Xiao Wu took the giggling Yu Chang from his hand and carried her back to the couch where the girls played with her :"Lei Ting school will be team in the Central Arena of today's battle.
This team is a powerful opponent that all of you have to be extra careful about. Let's go and watch the battle."
They all nodded and Ali also got up reluctantly after a sigh because of Zhuqing and Erlong pulling on his arms :"fine, fine. I will come too."
But the moment Flender opened the door, a small crowd of people outside began to cheer for them :"Shrek! Shrek!"
So he closed the door as he looked back with a raised eyebrow. All of them shrugged with smiles, so he fixed his clothes before opening the door.
Ali grabbed Zhuqing and Erlong's hand as he walked out while the crowd cheered :"Shrek! Shrek! I love you all so much!"
The girls were specially excited to see Ali :"was! Ali! I love you so much!" "Ali, marry me!" "Look at me, Ali!"
Hearing their words, Erlong's face twitched as she wanted to turn to them and give them a good beating, but Ali thankfully held her hand tight while chuckling :"calm down, Erlong. Let's just go."
So Erlong just snorted as they all continued to walk. But they unexpectedly met a rather familiar team, Cang Hui school.
But they didn't stop as they just looked at them while walking. Ma Hongjun even took the chance to give one of the members of the team a harsh bump, causing him to nearly fall as they walked.
While they walked, Tai Long clenched his fist as he snarled :"Cang Hui school. I'm looking forward to fighting them."
And Ma Hongjun snorted :"tsk, they can't even take down Elephant Armoured school in the first match. How dare they act so arrogantly."
Yu Xiaogang just continued on walking with his cane in his hand while Xiao Wu carried Yu Chang :"they're not the opponents that you all should be concerned about. For the preliminary, your biggest rivals are those five schools."
Tang San :"five schools?"
Flender explained :"Shen Feng, Chi Huo, Tian Shui, Lei Ting and also Elephant Armoured school from the earth element.
They're collectively known as five great elemental schools in Tian Dou Empire. From their names, you'll know the team members use martial souls of corresponding elements to battle."
Yu Xiaogang :"these five great schools have deep backgrounds. Thus, they might have hidden abilities. Hu Yanli's soul bone is the best example."
Dai Mubai :"master, us Lei Ting school supported by Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family?"
Yu Xiaogang :"yes. I don't know much of the backgrounds of Shen Feng, Tian Shui and Chi Huo. But, I can sense that they are difficult to deal with."
But while they were talking, Ali was frowning. So Zhuqing beside her shook his hand as she asked :"Ali? What's the matter?"
Hearing her, the attention of all of them was pulled towards him who shook his head with a serious face :"the five schools aren't a problem.
But, my gut feeling is telling me that Cang Hui school is the one that we should be careful about. My gut feeling never lies."
'if I remember right from my past life, the Cang Hui school was hiding a technique that they used against Shrek.
And that move was seriously deadly. It was a fusion technique, a seven way one at that. But it wasn't a martial soul fusion skill.
No, it was just a skill that was kinda like it. After all, a seven martial soul fusion skill is something legendary just like the 100% soul power harmonization.'
His words caused everyone to be surprised, but Ma Hongjun just snorted as he shook his hand :"nah, they're just a bunch of bums who are too arrogant for their own sake."
But Ali actually narrowed his eyes warningly at him :"Fatty, you know how I am. I won't say tell my opinion on something, but if I do, it's something serious.
I feel like Cang Hui school is actually hiding something. Something that my gut feeling is serious about. So we should be careful. Better safe that sorry, no?"
Seeing how serious he is, Ma Hongjun didn't joke around anymore as he nodded :"alright, boss Ali. We will do as you say, you are the boss after all."
