Capítulo 1572: Chapter 1525: Dai Tianling's Speculation (Please Subscribe)_1

The guest elder respectfully said, "Yes, Your Majesty, although Shrek Academy has suffered heavy losses, with its reputation as the number one academy on the Continent, as long as it can develop steadily, it won't be long before it returns to its peak!"

"Moreover, there are results regarding the matter you asked to be investigated!"

Dai Tianling's eyes blazed with intense anger, "Oh? Tell me more!"

The port of Xingluo Land had turned into purgatory overnight, and that it happened during the course of the exchange competition was bound to catch his attention!

So, at the first receipt of the news, he had his subordinates initiate an investigation!

The guest elder's eyes flickered slightly, "Back to Your Majesty, the Soul Masters who died at the port suffered extremely tragic deaths. We can be one hundred percent certain that an evil Soul Master was behind it! And... the residual aura of evil was very strong, indicating that there must have been many of them!"

Dai Tianling propped up his chin, pondering, "So you're saying... it's very possible that these evil Soul Masters secretly came here from Douluo Continent?"

According to his understanding, the evil Soul Masters of Xingluo Land were not united, mostly scattered throughout the various places of Xingluo Land, and it would be difficult to gather such a huge group!

The only possibility then would be that these evil Soul Masters all came from the Holy Spirit Cult of Douluo Continent!

The guest elder pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and said, "Your Majesty, now that such an incident has occurred, I suggest we strengthen the defense of the exchange activities in Xingluo Land. If the evil Soul Masters plan to launch an attack during the exchange competition, it will be easier to handle!!"

Dai Tianling glanced at him, "Hmm, I'll leave this matter to you, then. Ensure that the exchange competition is absolutely safe!"

After all, the students who came to participate in the exchange activities were very important to each of the powers. If anything went wrong, he, as the Emperor of the Xingluo Empire, would have a hard time calming the anger of the major powers!

The guest elder bowed slightly, "Yes, Your Majesty! I shall take my leave now!"

Only then did Dai Tianling, with some reluctance, look towards a certain area, "There's no one left, come out now!"

However, there was no response in the great hall...

Dai Tianling spoke again, "Yun'er, there's no need to hide, you can't conceal the Soul Power Aura surrounding you."

With those words, a head peeked out from behind nearby cover, sounding a bit guilty, "Hehehe... Father, how did you know I was eavesdropping?"

And then, she approached the former...

Dai Tianling couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Only you could be so willful!"

He paused, then asked, "Tell me, what do you need from me?"

Following the recent discussion, his mood was quite bad, and he wasn't in a particularly patient mood...

Dai Yun'er seemed to realize that Dai Tianling was not in the best of moods and spoke frankly, "Father, do you still stand by what you promised me last time, that I could choose my own teacher?"

Dai Tianling nodded slightly, "If I said it, of course it counts!"

Dai Yun'er's eyes gleamed, "That's good, I want to go to the Youth Soul Master competition and have a look, maybe there will be suitable candidates there!"

Dai Tianling was taken aback for a moment, "The Youth Soul Master competition... Okay, but make sure not to act on your impulsive temper!"

Dai Yun'er patted her chest, "Don't worry, Father. Don't you trust your own daughter?"

With that, she left the great hall, skipping merrily away...

Dai Tianling sighed, "Ai, because it's you, Yun'er, I'm all the more worried! I hope you don't stir up any trouble!"

"Forget it, I should focus on how to deal with the Holy Spirit Cult for now!"

...

Backstage at the Youth Soul Master competition!

Only to see Xie Xie stretching lazily, praising, "If it weren't for Gu Yue spotting their weakness, I doubt we could have won!"

Ye Xinglan also agreed, "That's right! After dividing the battlefield, they were no match at all!"

Wu Siduo said indifferently, "However, a bigger reason was that Gu Yue's Martial Soul just happened to counter the students from Star Luo Royal Academy of Elementology!"

After finishing, she glanced at Gu Yue with a rather complex look...

Once, she thought that Gu Yue's Martial Soul was just so-so, but after fighting side by side as teammates today, she realized how terribly wrong she had been!

Tang Wulin smiled, "Regardless, being able to eliminate the team from Star Luo Royal Academy of Elementology in the first round is still something to be proud of!"

With this lesson, the opponents arranged for them next would likely not be from the institutes directly under the Xingluo Empire!

Xu Xiaoyan, however, sounded somewhat disappointed, "Aww, what a pity that Lizhi and I didn't get to participate! If only they had made it a seven-person team battle, that would have been great!"

Xu Lizhi swallowed nervously, head down, "Yeah, I also wanted to fight alongside Sister Xinglan!"

Gu Yue glanced at them, "Don't be so regretful, in the next match, let's see which team we're facing first, then we can talk about rotation."

Only then did Xu Lizhi and Xu Xiaoyan's faces relax a bit, "Yeah!"

Meanwhile, the surrounding Soul Masters, hearing this, spoke with disdainful tones, "Tch, don't honestly think that beating that good-for-nothing Star Luo Royal Academy of Elementology puts you in the lead, do you?"

"Lucky for me, I've always known those losers from Star Luo Royal Academy of Elementology can't be relied on! Defeating Shrek Academy will have to depend on us!"

"You guys are full of hot air, Star Luo Royal Academy of Elementology is still ranked third on the Xingluo Land! If you were in their place, you'd probably lose even more miserably!"

"Pfft, that's because they haven't encountered Star Luo Monster Academy, otherwise, they'd be utterly slaughtered! You should know, those who get into Star Luo Monster Academy are the elites selected from all academies!"

Hearing these discussions, Xie Xie asked doubtfully, "Star Luo Monster Academy? Since when did Xingluo Land have such an academy? And it seems to be even more formidable than the Royal Academy."

He remembered that the most formidable academy on Xingluo Land was supposed to be Xingluo Imperial Academy, which had several generations of strong competitors that suppressed the students of Shrek Academy's Inner Court!

And this Star Luo Monster Academy, being the selected elite from multiple academies, probably had overall strength that was far stronger than that of Xingluo Imperial Academy!

Ye Xinglan frowned, "I haven't heard of it either, but this Monster Academy, could it be housing Soul Masters with exceptional talents? Just like our Shrek Academy!"

Xu Xiaoyan spoke disdainfully, "Tch, it's just a knockoff version of our academy. Shrek Academy translated is also Monster Academy, but well, to have chosen this name, maybe they have some strength after all!"

Shrek Academy is recognized as the number one academy on the Continent, so how could a mere Star Luo Monster Academy shake its status!

Tang Wulin said seriously, "We should still be cautious. After all, this is an academy that's considered stronger than Star Luo Royal Academy!"

Star Luo Monster Academy?

He really did want to witness their true capabilities!

About a few hours later, the announcer's voice came through the broadcast...

"Next up, Shrek Academy will battle against..."

Tang Wulin looked to the others, "Come on, teammates, it's our turn to take the stage!"
