"Although the eldest sister was only eleven or twelve years old at the time, she knew about Shrek Academy, so she knelt down and begged Xuanzu to avenge her. At that time, Xuanzu was devastated by the death of my parents, so he agreed to revenge for her.

She made her wish and told her that Shrek Academy will try its best to cultivate her. But there is one condition: she must protect Shrek Academy for the rest of her life and be my child bride. The senior sister swore the oath without hesitation at that time."

Having said this, Beibei paused for a moment and said: "You can probably guess what happened next. Xuanzu avenged her. The eldest sister also stayed in the academy to study hard and achieved what she has today. Later,

, as I grew up, Xuanzu's mentality also calmed down. I regretted the oath that I asked my eldest sister to make, and said more than once that I don't need to abide by that oath. After all, there is a ten-year age difference between her and me.

If you have enough, waiting for me is simply unrealistic."

"But the eldest sister insisted on abiding by her oath and told Xuanzu that no matter what I choose in the future, she will only protect me. If I don't like her, then she will be single for the rest of her life and dedicate everything to Shrek to repay Xuanzu

of kindness."

Jiang Nannan looked a little unkind and said: "You already have a child bride, and you still provoke Xiaoya..."

Beibei smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know! It wasn't until Xiaoya and I got together that Xuanzu told me about the oath of the elder sister. At that time, I felt unbelievable. I was only fourteen or fifteen years old at the time, and I was so old.

Senior sister is already twenty-seven or eighty years old. Our ages are really inappropriate. Besides, don’t you still know my feelings for Xiaoya? I could only argue with Xuanzu. I also moved out of the inner courtyard at that time.

.Later, Xuanzu acquiesced in the matter between me and Xiaoya because the college was in debt to Tang Clan. It was not until before his death that Xuanzu told me about this matter again, asking me to be nicer to senior sister if possible.

He said he was sorry for Senior Sister."

"I also went to the senior sister and wanted to explain this matter to her clearly. In the college, I don't know how many young and talented seniors like her! I really don't want to see her lifelong happiness be affected by a certain person back then.

The influence of the absurd oath. But the eldest sister is very stubborn. She said that I don’t have to choose her, but she can’t break her promise, and then she walked away."

"To be honest, although I don't think I did anything wrong, I still feel guilty for her. But I don't know what to do to make her give up that vow. In the past few years, even though Xiaoya has been away

I am by my side, but my heart still cannot accommodate others."

At this point, Beibei's face showed not only embarrassment but also confusion and embarrassment.

Wang Donger said: "Senior Brother, do you have a good impression of Senior Sister?"

Beibei said without hesitation: "Of course. She protected me when I was a child. I have not had a mother since I was a child. Senior sister is like a mother and a sister to me. In my heart, except for Xiaoya,

, she is the second most important woman. But this kind of feeling is not that kind of feeling! The relationship between me and the senior sister is family. Please help me think about it, what should I do without hurting the senior sister?

It can make her happy again!"

Under Beibei's expectant gaze, everyone's expressions became weird one after another - what should I do?

Huo Yuhao coughed and said, "Senior Brother, look, we will have a competition in two days. Do you have any suggestions?"

The corner of Beibei's mouth twitched, and when he looked at the others, they all looked away, and said angrily: "You unloyal guys!"

He Caitou chuckled and said, "It's hard for an honest official to deal with household chores. Senior brother, how can we help you with this kind of thing?"

Beibei said helplessly: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. However, you must not spread it outside. It concerns the reputation of senior sister. Yuhao, tell me, what are your plans for the competition?"

Huo Yuhao said: "I don't have a specific plan yet, I just have some ideas. In this competition, because of the participation of sects, there are as many as 167 participating teams. Among them, the first few rounds are elimination rounds until the final three

The top 12 will be followed by the group stage. At present, the organizers have not said how the previous knockout rounds will be conducted. Compared with the subsequent group stage, the knockout round is the first thing we have to pass."

"We represent the Tang Sect, so we are not a seeded team, and there will definitely not be any bias in our favor in the competition system. We still don't know what kind of participating teams we will encounter. Once we encounter some powerful teams

The sect is a big test for us. Therefore, I think we must first hide our strength as much as possible in the knockout stage."

"Hiding your strength?" Beibei was stunned for a moment, "Yuhao, aren't your words contradictory? You just mentioned the importance of the knockout rounds, why do you have to hide your strength again?"

Huo Yuhao said: "Senior Brother, there is no contradiction. What I mean is that when we can win, we should hide our strength as much as possible. Compared with five years ago, our appearance has actually changed a lot.

, and there are many sects participating in this session, and not many people know us. We can first use some makeup skills to slightly change our appearance, so that those who are familiar with us in the previous session will not recognize us.

If it's us, at least we can't be sure it's us. As long as you're not too unlucky and encounter the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy as soon as you get there, the chance of being recognized is not high."

Beibei's eyes lit up and he said: "This is a good idea. Most of the people who took part in the last competition and had an impression of us were the reserve players. They became the regular players this time. In the past five years, everyone has changed a lot.

It’s big, with a little adjustment and the fact that we represent the Tang Sect, it does have a very good hiding effect.”

Xu Sanshi frowned and said, "You can change your appearance, but your martial arts can't! Once our martial arts appear, won't people recognize us?"

Huo Yuhao smiled mysteriously and said: "Of course we want to make them unrecognizable as much as possible. We can do this..."

The discussion of tactics lasted for more than an hour and ended in order to allow Beibei to rest better.

The next day, Huo Yuhao and other partners held several discussions and drills to determine the initial competition method.

The top floor of Mingyue Hotel.

Wang Qiuer stood quietly on the wide semicircular balcony and looked into the distance. The view from this position was excellent, and he could almost see half of the Ming Dynasty.

There are only eight rooms on the top floor of the Mingyue Hotel. They are called sky villas and are extremely luxurious. It is said that one night's stay costs as much as three thousand gold soul coins, which can be said to be an absolutely sky-high price.

Each sky villa has a huge castle-like arch, which contains a reception room, a living room, a large conference room, twenty bedrooms of different sizes, a gym, a tea room, a sky garden of more than 200 square meters, and even

There is a 20-meter-square sky swimming pool located in the center of the villa. Above the blue water is a glass dome. If you swim at night, a soft light blue light will light up around the swimming pool. Looking up, you will see the endless starry sky.

The beauty is enough to make anyone intoxicated.

In addition, there is even a small martial arts arena in the villa, built with special materials and a soul guidance device defense system, which can defend against most soul skill attacks at Soul Saint and below levels.

When they first checked into this villa, everyone on the Shrek Academy team was moved. Even Dai Huabin, the son of a duke, was staying in such a luxurious hotel for the first time. There were twenty rooms, and for a hotel with only a dozen or so people,

For the team, one room per person is enough. Daily food can be customized and all is provided by the hotel for free.

This is the top-notch service and configuration provided to the participating teams this year, and only eight participating teams can enjoy it. The Shrek Academy representative team stayed in the Sky Villa No. 1. In this regard, the Sun and Moon Empire looked very grand.

This villa is not only the most luxurious, but also symbolizes that they are the last championship team.

Turning around, Wang Qiuer looked at the luxurious and huge space, with a trace of confusion in her eyes, and said to herself: "Is this what Shrek's Glory bestows? Is this what they fought for in the last competition?"

"Yes. That's right. Without their perfect performance in the last competition, we wouldn't have been able to stay here. In fact, they are more qualified to live here, rather than in the cramped small rooms below." Zhang Lexuan

He walked over from a short distance away, holding a thin red wine glass in his hand. Inside was aged white wine with the color of amber. The faint fragrance echoed around the mouth of the cup, but did not overflow. This was the Heavenly Soul Empire

The top-notch drinking utensils made by Ruidu Chamber of Commerce.

"Would you like a drink?" Zhang Lexuan asked calmly.

Wang Qiuer shook his head and said, "I don't want these things to affect my mind."

Zhang Lexuan took a sip of the white wine in the glass. The slightly sour wine was full of rich and fruity aroma, and the light pickled plum flavor added a long aftertaste.

"Sometimes you have to learn to relax yourself. Your spirit is too tense. I was like you for a while, but then I found that it didn't work and had side effects on my cultivation. You are even better than me now.

It will get more serious in the future. Your emotions have been tense to a certain extent. If you continue like this, you are likely to have problems."

"I didn't." Wang Qiuer said coldly.

Zhang Lexuan looked at her with a half-smile but not a smile: "No? As someone who has been there, I am very familiar with your appearance now. You are just like me back then. Since you and Huo Yuhao came back, I have never seen a smile on your face again."

.Aside from urging everyone to practice, you will only be alone in a daze. Is it because of Huo Yuhao?"

Wang Qiuer froze slightly and did not say a word or refute.

Zhang Lexuan asked calmly: "Do you think you have a chance?"

Wang Qiuer remained silent, but clenched her hands unconsciously.

"No chance, right? I didn't expect you to be so similar to me. Haha." Zhang Lexuan smiled, seemingly very happily, but there were tears hidden deep in her beautiful eyes.

"Looks like you?" Wang Qiuer looked at her doubtfully.

Zhang Lexuan smiled and said: "Yes! Because we have all fallen in love with a man who is impossible to be with. Maybe you still have a chance. At least you and him are a good match. But I... haha."

After drinking the wine in one gulp, Zhang Lexuan turned around and walked towards the villa.

Seeing her slightly trembling and lonely figure, Wang Qiuer subconsciously followed her.

Zhang Lexuan suddenly stopped, turned her back to Wang Qiuer and said, "Qiuer, do you think we women must be dependent on men?"

Wang Qiuer said without hesitation: "Of course not."

Zhang Lexuan turned around and her eyes suddenly became sharp: "Then let him know that you are better than him. Even if you don't get his love, don't let him see your cowardice. This is our last self-esteem."

Wang Qiuer's eyes narrowed, looking at Zhang Lexuan's persistent, stubborn, and even slightly crazy eyes, she nodded vigorously: "Yes."

Early the next morning, the competition format was finally announced. Each participating team received a description of the competition format from the organizing committee.

When Huo Yuhao got this instruction manual, he couldn't help but frown. This competition system is different from what Mr. Xuan said at the beginning!

According to the competition system, the entire competition is divided into two stages: preliminaries and finals. Both clan and college teams are mixed to participate.

In the preliminaries, it was indeed a knockout round. But the knockout round seemed to have a different flavor. The competition venue was located on the outskirts of Mingdu, instead of in the center of the city where the competition was originally supposed to be. One of the instructions that caught Huo Yuhao's attention the most read: No matter what

Whether it is the preliminaries or the finals, only the diameter of the competition venue will be limited, but there will be no limit on the height.

Despite such a simple explanation, Huo Yuhao's sense of vigilance increased greatly. What does unlimited height mean? Can any of the students who come to participate in the competition be strong at the Soul Saint level? Obviously not. The Soul Emperor is already one

Twenty years old is the ultimate. This means that this unlimited height is meaningless to soul masters. Except for some soul masters with flying martial spirits, most people cannot fly.

!However, the same situation becomes completely different with the soul master.

As long as they have a flying soul guide, a fourth-ring soul master-level soul master can soar in the sky and conduct air-to-ground attacks from the sky. There is no doubt that this competition rule has huge benefits for soul masters.

Of the four countries in the Douluo Continent—the Sun and Moon Empire, the Star Luo Empire, the Heavenly Soul Empire, and the Dou Ling Empire, the only one that truly has a large enough group of soul mentors is the Sun and Moon Empire. This competition system is simply blatant.

I only want to help myself. The Sun and Moon Empire is really powerful!

Of course, the Sun and Moon Empire did not dare to go too far after all. In addition to this, the scoring method of the individual knockout rounds has also changed slightly, and will be calculated according to the number of people remaining. In other words, if one party in the individual knockout round

If they can beat seven against each other, then they can calculate the seven points based on the remaining seven heads of their side, and the subsequent team competition can even be stopped. Because the team competition only has five points, there is no way to come back. Of course, in this kind of competition,
To be continued...
