It was their first time to come to Dragon King Pavilion, and they had to rely on a map to search, so they wasted some time. It took Ye Qian'an half an hour to finally find the location of Dragon King Pavilion. It was indeed as Nana said, the terrain here was indeed steep. From afar, the mountains were undulating, and the Dragon King Pavilion stood on the cliffs like a towering fortress. It was surrounded by clouds and mist, as if a mysterious veil was cast over the Dragon King Pavilion. From a distance, Ye Qian'an saw the outer wall of the Dragon King Pavilion. The dark gray wall was more than two meters high and extended for nearly a hundred meters. The main gate was three meters high and hung a huge plaque with the three gold-plated characters "Dragon King Pavilion" hanging on it. At this moment, the main door of the Dragon King Pavilion opened, and a man walked out, just in time to meet Ye Qian'an and others. Nana was also very surprised to see Ye Qian'an. She took two quick steps forward, knelt on one knee, and called out, "Master." Ye Qian frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Nana, what are you doing? Get up quickly." Nana refused to get up and shook her head vigorously, with red circles around her eyes. Ye Qian used his soul power to lift Nana up, "What's wrong, Nana?" Nana wiped away the tears in her eyes, looked deeply at Ye Qian'an, and said, "Master, you have given me a new life, and I will never forget it. Master, you have not only saved the souls of my parents, but also given me a brand new life. Nana will be your slave in this life and will definitely repay your kindness." Compared to before, Nana's complexion is much better, and her mental state is far from comparable to before.
"Please arrange two rooms for the two people behind me." Ye Qian'an nodded and said. Nana nodded and looked at Jing Ziyan and Ji Juechen. She was shocked. Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan were both core figures of Mingde Hall, and they were just brought here like that. When leading the two people into the Dragon King Pavilion, Nana noticed the presence of Gu Yuena and Ye Xiyao. "Master, who are these two?" Ye Qianan turned slightly and introduced: "This is my wife Gu Yuena, and this is Ye Xiyao, my sister." After hearing Ye Qian'an's introduction, Gu Yuena smiled slightly, as if she was very satisfied with Ye Qian'an's introduction. Nana hurriedly bowed respectfully to Gu Yuena and Ye Xiyao: "Greetings, Madam, and Young Lady." Ye Qianan smiled and said, "Are you going out to do something? Once you have arranged for them, then go quickly. We will leave first." Nana replied respectfully, "Yes, Master. I will arrange it right away. Master, Madam, and Miss, take care." Ye Qian'an held Gu Yuena's hand, Ye Xiyao followed beside him, and the three of them slowly walked in the direction of Shrek Academy. After returning to Shrek Academy, Ye Qian'an and Gu Yuena parted ways with Ye Xiyao. The students in the inner courtyard had their own accommodation, but due to the special circumstances of Ye Qian'an and Gu Yuena, their rooms were together. After saying goodbye to Ye Xiyao, Ye Qian'an pulled Gu Yuena back to the room. Gu Yuena looked thoughtful at this time. Ye Qianan took off his coat and walked behind her. He gently put his hands around Gu Yuena's waist. Ye Qianan gently rested his chin on Gu Yuena's shoulder and asked gently, "What's wrong? Are you worried about something?" Gu Yuena sighed slightly: "Qian, can we really change the future of the soul beast clan?" Ye Qian was startled for a moment, then his eyes became firm. He hugged Gu Yuena tightly and said softly, "I have grasped the future in my hands, and I will never let it go." After hearing Ye Qian'an's words, Gu Yuena felt a warm feeling in her heart. She turned around and looked into Ye Qian'an's eyes, where a confident light was flashing. "Qian, with you here, I believe we can create a bright future for the soul beast clan." Gu Yuena said gently. "Relax, so from now on let's... just... rest. I will hold you while you sleep, and I promise not to do anything and will never touch you randomly." Ye Qian'an nodded slightly. Gu Yuena's cheeks flushed slightly, and she said in a tender voice, "You've already eaten it all, what guarantees do you have?"
"Since that's the case, I won't be polite." Ye Qian'an blew a breath at Gu Yuena and said. Gu Yuena's face turned even redder, and she gently pushed Ye Qian'an, "You just bully me." Ye Qian'an smiled and hugged Gu Yuena, "Just consider it a belated retribution. Besides, I never had the heart to bully you. I can't wait to love you." As he said that, Ye Qian'an kissed Gu Yuena on the forehead. "Okay, stop making trouble. We really should rest." Gu Yuena said softly. Ye Qian nodded, took Gu Yuena's hand and walked to the bedside, slowly lying down. Even when resting, Ye Qian held Gu Yuena tightly in his arms... …… early morning. Ye Xiyao woke up Ye Qian'an and Gu Yuena early in the morning. "Xiyao, why are you waking us up so early?" Ye Qian said while yawning, obviously not fully awake yet. Ye Xiyao nodded slightly and said, "Brother, I didn't ask you to go. It was the old man from the Sea God Pavilion who asked me to ask you and Sister Nana to go back early in the morning." "Okay, let's talk after Na'er and I wash up." Ye Qian and Gu Yuena quickly washed up and tidied their clothes. After breakfast, the three of them went straight to the Poseidon Pavilion. On the way, they met Huo Yuhao and others. After talking for a while, they moved forward together. When they arrived at the Poseidon Pavilion, quite a few people were already standing in front of it, and they all knew each other. Elder Xuan, Yan Shaozhe, and Cai Meir were standing in the front, with a row of students standing next to them, including not only inner courtyard disciples, but also several outer courtyard students. Among these students are Dai Huabin, Ning Tian, Zhu Lu, Wu Feng, Xie Huanyue, Cao Jinxuan, Zhou Sichen, Lan Susu, and Lan Luoluo, a total of nine people. They saw these people, and these people naturally saw them as well. Cao Jinxuan, Zhou Sichen, Lan Susu, and Lan Luoluo were fine when they saw Ye Qian'an, but when their eyes fell on Ye Xiyao, they were all surprised. Among them, Cao Jinxuan and Zhou Sichen even had some excitement on their faces. No one knew what these two guys were thinking. Elder Xuan looked at everyone and nodded slightly, saying, "Okay, everyone is here. Let's get started." "Yesterday, we officially received a notice from the organizing committee of the competition that the new competition system and rules have been formulated and all four countries on the continent have approved them. Therefore, I can now tell you with certainty that there will be a sect representative team participating in the new competition." "Because the Shrek Seven Devils are representing the Tang Sect this time, you will not get any help from the academy in terms of personnel in the new competition. Your substitutes can only be selected from within the Tang Sect. Everything depends on yourselves. Your victory or defeat has nothing to do with the academy." “Yes.” Huo Yuhao and the other seven people agreed in unison. Elder Xuan said: "I will tell you the specific competition system below. You must remember it. This competition is different from previous ones. Due to the introduction of sect teams, the number of participating teams will definitely increase dramatically, and the competition will be unprecedentedly fierce. After research by the Sun and Moon Empire, it was finally decided that the competition system is as follows." "The new competition is finally named the Continental Youth High-level Spirit Master Elite Competition. Because there are too many participating teams, we will directly adopt a knockout tournament until the top 32 are decided. The top 32 will be divided into four groups, and the top two in each group will advance to the top eight. From the preliminaries, group matches, to the finals, all the competition systems are the same. That is - individual knockout tournaments plus team competitions." "In each match, each team can send seven players, and can only send seven players. Once the list is determined, it cannot be changed after the match begins. The first thing to do is the individual elimination match. Each side sends one person to the field, defeat the opponent, and continue to fight until they lose the match. They can also give up automatically during the match. One point is awarded for each victory. The final winner of the individual elimination match will also receive two sub-points. After the individual elimination match, a seven-on-seven team match will be held. The participants are still the seven players from the previous individual elimination match, and there will be no rest time in between. If one side's seven players are not full due to injuries, the number of players left will be the same. The winner of the team match will receive five sub-points. In the elimination stage of the preliminaries, the side with the higher sub-points wins after the match." At this point, Elder Xuan turned his gaze to the other side, looking at Dai Huabin and the others, and said: "The people standing in front of you are the players who participated in the last Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition. Although they are still participating in this competition, they will no longer represent the academy. The nine of you will represent the academy as regular players and substitutes. I hope you can live up to the academy's expectations and get good results. Shaozhe." "Yes." Yan Shaozhe agreed and took a step forward. "The new team is led by Ye Qian'an, with Gu Yuena as the vice-captain. The regular players include: Ye Xiyao, Dai Huabin, Ning Tian, Zhu Lu, Wu Feng, Xie Huanyue. The substitutes are: Cao Jinxuan, Zhou Sichen, Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo." After listening to Master Xuan's previous narration, and Yan Shaozhe's announcement, the expressions of these nine people changed in different ways. People like Cao Jinxuan, Zhou Sichen, and the Lan sisters all had excitement in their eyes, which could definitely be described as "opportunity is rare and will never come back again". However, the expressions of some people were not so good-looking. As students of the inner courtyard, Dai Huabin, Ning Tian and others had heard some news. In their opinion, it was inevitable that they would be included in the list of the new team representing the academy. After all, they were of the right age and their strength was outstanding among their peers. However, they never expected that the academy would let Ye Qian and Gu Yuena be the captains of their new team. Among them, Dai Huabin and Ning Tian, who had the greatest hope of becoming captain, did not look very good. Ning Tian was better, as he just looked a little unnatural. Of course, this was also related to seeing Ye Qian'an and Gu Yuena. Dai Huabin's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He was not very good at concealing his emotions, and at this moment he even clenched his fists. "If there is no objection, let's arrange it this way. Starting today, you will concentrate on special training." Yan Shaozhe said in a deep voice. "Report!" Dai Huabin stepped forward.
"Hmm?" Yan Shaozhe frowned slightly. Dai Huabin said: "Dean Yan, I would like to ask, what are the criteria for selecting the captain of our new team?" Yan Shaozhe smiled calmly and said, "Of course it's based on strength. Among all of you, Ye Qian'an, Gu Yuena and her sister Ye Xiyao are the strongest. They are all Soul Saints. If you are not satisfied with this arrangement, you can withdraw as soon as possible. After all, one more or one less will not make a difference." Dai Huabin's face turned pale and blue. Although he was unwilling to accept it, he knew the gap between him and the Soul Saint. He gritted his teeth and finally said nothing. Yan Shaozhe said in a deep voice: "In order to familiarize everyone with the new competition system and to test your respective strengths, we have decided to let your new and old teams compete against each other. To make the competition more formal, it will be held in the Fighting Spirit Area. Let's go." A ferry had been waiting by the Sea God Island for a long time. Everyone boarded the boat and sat down, heading towards the outer courtyard, the fighting spirit area, which was larger and more convenient for displaying abilities. Dai Huabin stared at Ye Qian'an, who was resting with his eyes closed, with a burning gaze, his evil pupils revealing an uncertain look. Although he was very confident in his abilities, he had never defeated Ye Qian'an over the years, especially that day at the Poseidon Dating Conference, where even in a one-on-one duel, he did not end up well, and was kicked by Ye Qian'an, causing a broken bone, which took him a full half month to heal. Cao Jinxuan looked at Ye Xiyao who was sitting next to Ye Qian'an and said with a chuckle, "Brother Ye, why don't you introduce us to the beauty next to you? I'm still single." Ye Qian, who was resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes, looked at Cao Jinxuan and said, "You have seen my sister. Okay, two conditions. I will agree if you meet the two conditions." Cao Jinxuan became alert when he heard this and asked quickly, "Brother Ye, what are the conditions? Tell me quickly." Ye Qian'an raised his lips slightly and said, "The first condition is that you must be stronger than my sister. The second condition is that you must beat me. As long as you can do this, I will consider letting you meet my sister." Cao Jinxuan's eyes widened in disbelief. These two conditions were simply too difficult to meet, and he said with a bitter face, "Brother Ye, you are deliberately making things difficult for me. Your sister must be very strong, and you are even more powerful. How can I possibly do this?" Bie said that he was the one who met these two conditions. There was no one else like him in the entire Shrek Academy. As for the soul power level, it could be achieved with some effort, but to fight and defeat Ye Qian'an in a one-on-one fight was almost a dream. Ye Xiyao snorted softly at the side: "You want to surpass me? Dream on." Ye Qian smiled and said, "Then don't try to hit on my sister. Prepare well for the upcoming competition. Maybe if you perform well in the competition, I will look at you differently." In the midst of this farce, the ferry had arrived at the lakeside. Everyone jumped onto the shore and headed towards the fighting spirit area under the leadership of Xuan Lao, Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meir. The fighting spirit area had already been prepared and it was very quiet inside. The only spectators of this individual elimination match were Elder Xuan and the other two. Of course, they also had the duty of acting as referees. ………(End of chapter)
