Chapter 173: Qian Renxue Arrives at the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena
Just as undercurrents were surging in the Royal Fighting Team’s lounge...
On the other side of the Spirit Arena, in a higher-specification exclusive box...
Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) sat upright on a sofa by the window.
Her moon-white brocade robe lent her a warm and refined temperament.
She held a cup of warm tea, her fingertips gently stroking the rim of the cup.
She listened to the report from Snake Lance DouluoShe Long, who was kneeling on one knee before her, her face expressionless.
Only deep within her eyes was a trace of sharp focus hidden, barely perceptible.
Qian Renxue’s attention at this moment was entirely on the detailed information about the Shrek Team that She Long had handed over.
"Young Lord, this is all the information on the Shrek Team that your subordinate found using all the secret lines in Suotuo City."
She Long’s voice was respectful and low.
After Qian Renxue noticed the Shrek Team because of information from the Chat Group, she immediately sent Snake Lance Douluo to investigate.
Snake Lance Douluo did not disappoint and obtained first-hand information.
"This team comes from Shrek Academy. The Dean is Flender, a Rank 78 Spirit Saint, nicknamed the Four-Eyed Eagle, and is the Wing of Flight of the Golden Triangle."
"The Vice-Dean is Zhao Wuji, a Rank 74 Spirit Saint, nicknamed the Immovable Bright King."
"The leading teacher is Yu Xiaogang, known as the ’Grandmaster of Theory,’ a Rank 29 Spirit Grandmaster, and the Wing of Wisdom of the Golden Triangle."
Qian Renxue only nodded after hearing about these three; she was not interested.
"Tell me about the members of this team."
"Yes."
"The seven members on the field are:"
"Evil Eyes White Tiger, real name Dai Mubai, Rank 37 Battle Soul Venerable, Martial Soul Evil Eyes White Tiger, suspected to be the missing third prince of the Star Luo Empire."
"Sausage Seller, Oscar, Innate Full spirit power, Rank 31 Spirit Elder, Martial Soul Sausage."
"Thousand Hands Asura, real name Tang San, Rank 31 Battle Soul Venerable, Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass."
"Evil Fire Phoenix, real name Ma Hongjun, Rank 28 Spirit Grandmaster, Martial Soul Evil Fire Phoenix."
"Hell Civet, real name Zhu Zhuqing, Rank 27 Spirit Grandmaster, Martial Soul Hell Civet."
"Soft Bones Demon Rabbit, real name Xiao Wu, Rank 38 Battle Soul Venerable, Martial Soul Soft Bones Rabbit."
"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile, real name Ning Rongrong, Rank 26 Spirit Elder, Martial Soul Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the only daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile SchoolSect MasterNing Fengzhi."
Qian Renxue’s fingertips paused on the teacup.
When she heard Ning Rongrong’s name, her eyebrows quirked slightly.
When she heard about the twelve-year-old Rank 38 Xiao Wu, she only gave a faint nod.
But when she heard the name Zhu Zhuqing, her originally calm eyes narrowed slightly.
Zhu Zhuqing!
She remembered this name clearly.
It was the person mentioned by that A-Qing in the Chat Group a few days ago.
She set down the teacup in her hand.
Leaning forward slightly, her fingertips traced over the names on the document one by one.
After a moment, she said in a voice that betrayed no emotion, "Is that all?"
"Yes, Your Highness," She Long replied with a bow.
"Dai Mubai, the abandoned prince of the Star Luo Empire; sufficient Heart-Nature, but lacking in vision."
Qian Renxue’s fingertips tapped each name as she spoke in a flat yet undeniably certain tone.
"Oscar, Innate Full spirit power in the food system is indeed rare."
"Tang San, such talent with a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is quite good."
"Ma Hongjun, his Martial Soul has an Innate defect; he will find it hard to achieve greatness."
She excluded them one by one, her fingertips finally stopping at the blank substitute information at the end of the document, her eyes narrowing slightly.
"I recall you saying just now that they are an eight-person team?"
"Yes."
She Long immediately replied, "There is also a substitute member, code-named Azure Star, who has not taken the field."
"Our people investigated for a long time but only found that his Martial Soul is also Blue Silver Grass. He has fought many matches in the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena with a perfect win record, but he has never revealed his full strength from beginning to end. It’s impossible to judge his specific spirit powerRank, only that he is at least at the Spirit Elder level."
"Other than that, there is no other information."
Could not be found?
A faint smile curled at the corner of Qian Renxue’s mouth, but the interest in her eyes grew stronger.
The Spirit Hall’s intelligence network spanned the entire Heaven Dou Empire, yet they couldn’t even find the background of a single Spirit Master?
(Little did she know that her mother Bibi Dong’s hand was involved in this.)
Besides that elusive A-Qing in the group, who else could it be?
"Azure Star..."
After whispering the code name, Qian Renxue looked up at the Spirit stage in the center of the arena where the lights had already been lit, her eyes narrowing slightly.
"Interesting."
"Snake Lance, keep a close eye on that Azure Star later. I want to know his every move."
"Yes, Your Highness."
She Long bowed in acknowledgment.
Qian Renxue picked up the teacup again and took a sip of the clear tea.
Her gaze fell on the Spirit stage below that was about to open, her mind already calculating.
This A-Qing definitely hides a great secret.
If he could be recruited for her own use, her plan to seize the throne of the Heaven Dou Empire would gain another major boost.
...
Just then.
The host in the center of the Spirit Arena held a megaphone and shouted those words that made the entire audience boil with excitement in a voice so passionate it cracked.
"Next, let us use the most enthusiastic cheers to welcome today’s two teams to the stage!"
"First, our ever-victorious general, the ace from Heaven Dou Royal Academy—the Royal Fighting Team!"
Deafening cheers instantly exploded, and the roof of the entire venue seemed to shake.
"Huangdou! Huangdou!"
"Yu Tianheng! Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon!"
Amidst the mountain-shaking and ocean-roaring shouts, Yu Tianheng led the six members of the Royal Fighting Team onto the Spirit stage step by step.
He was dressed in a black martial outfit.
The emblem of Heaven Dou Royal Academy was embroidered on his chest.
spirit power flowed faintly around him, and the crackling sound of lightning was clearly audible.
His sharp eyes swept toward the opposite entrance, his entire body exuding the pressure of a top-tier Spirit Master.
Dugu Yan followed by his side, but her gaze didn’t look across; instead, it swept over the VIP area of the audience seats.
She looked through each position, trying to find that figure hidden in the shadows.
Azure Star, A-Qing, where on earth are you?
"Next, please welcome their opponents, the dark horse team that also maintains a perfect record in team battles—the Shrek Team!"
As the host’s words fell, only sparse applause rang out from the audience, along with quite a few boos.
After all, in everyone’s eyes, this unknown Shrek Team was merely another stepping stone for the Royal Fighting Team.
Just an Iron Soul Team, not worth mentioning.
Amidst the sparse cheers, the Shrek Seven Devils stepped onto the Spirit stage one by one.
They had no uniform team outfits, only school uniforms that had been washed until they were faded white.
The seven of them stood together, looking loose and disorganized, but their eyes held a fierce determination not to lose.
Dai Mubai walked at the very front.
His heterochromatic eyes stared fixedly at Yu Tianheng opposite him, his muscles tensed, and his White Tiger Martial Soul already showed signs of Awakening.
Dai Mubai undoubtedly regarded Yu Tianheng as a formidable enemy.
Tang San’s gaze swept over every member of the Royal Fighting Team, quickly analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of his opponents.
Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, and the others followed closely behind.
And Ning Rongrong stood at the very back of the team.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in her hand was already glowing faintly, ready to provide support at any moment.
