A few days later,
Crackling sounds spread through the silent cave, and Xiao Yi's figure flashed and appeared in front of the cocoon.
The next moment the cocoon burst open, revealing the Snow Empress in her original form: white hair and bright pupils with snow-white skin and a more perfect figure. Just the flickering colorful design in her suit and basic aura around her indicate that she has gone through an unimaginable transformation.
After seeing the curious gaze of Xiao Yi in front of her, a cheerful smile appeared on her beautiful face, and she spoke softly,
"I am just a step away from reaching the divine beast level."
Xiao Yi's gaze brightened, and then he nodded with a smile in return, "Congratulations." Then he remembered something and added,
"Also, we have to hurry up; your transformation took a week, which was more than I expected. The Shrek team must have been waiting for us in the Sun and Moon Empire; tomorrow the competition will begin."
After speaking, he waved his hand, and a void opened up beside him, and he walked inside. The Snow Empress nodded and followed him calmly.
…
On the other hand, a few hundred miles away,
Capital city of the Sun and Moon Empire,
Outside the Mingue Hotel,
A light black light flickered above the road, and both Xue Di and Xiao Yi's figures materialized, standing on the road.
"This city is filled with the guidance tools used by humans." Xue Di commented in amazement, looking at the soul guidance tools integrated inside everything in the surrounding.
"Not just a city, the whole Sun and Moon Empire is based on advanced soul guidance technology."
Xiao Yi spoke while his soul consciousness covered the whole empire and analyzed, then copied the unknown soul guidance tools throughout the whole empire. The next moment, all these soul guidance tools merged with his own creation and enhanced their performance.
'My mecha and soul guidance armor structure is enhanced by 50%, as expected of the Sun and Moon Empire.'
Xiao Yi thought to himself and then walked toward the Mingue Hotel entrance, saying, "Let's go. All the competitors stay in this hotel; we will find them here."
Xue Di nodded and followed him calmly inside while observing everything curiously, including the soul guidance bot that greeted them at the entrance.
After walking inside the hotel, Xiao Yi observed the interior and other participants inside, while his consciousness spread through the whole hotel.
Instantly inside one of the private halls,
Huo Yuhao opened his eyes, and he stood up in surprise.
'Such strong soul consciousness, who is this?
"Hurry up, Yuhao, close your consciousness lest he pry into your secrets; don't even try to release your consciousness, he will find us."
Tian Ming, inside his soul, hurriedly reminded himself while sweating profusely with a trembling body.
The next moment the consciousness disappeared, and all of them sighed in relief. Huo Yuhao hesitated and then left the room toward the hotel lounge.
After arriving, he noticed two familiar figures standing in the lounge.
"Brother Yi, Sister Xue," He immediately greeted them with a smile and pushed the wheels of his wheelchair toward them.
"What happened to you? You were fine when I left the academy for a while."
Xiao Yi asked, raising his brow and looking at the ice covering his one side and legs.
"It's just something that happened to Wang Dong. I have consumed the opposite herb, which resulted in such a mess. Don't worry, brother Yi, I will be fine in a few months." Huo Yuhao replied, smiling wryly,
Xiao Yi nodded calmly in return and asked thoughtfully, "Will you represent the Shrek or the Tang Sect in this competition?"
Huo Yuhao was startled and then replied after a little silence, "I will fight as a Tang Sect member."
Xiao Yi patted his shoulder and said, "Do your best; it doesn't matter if you represent the Tang sect."
After speaking, he walked forward toward the residence assigned to the Shrek team. After walking inside, he encountered all the old members of the team and only the new female with lengthy blue hair.
'Is she the three-eyed golden lion beast, the royal soul beast?' Xiao Yi thought to himself and glanced at her; she also looked at him calmly in return.
"You are Xiao Yi? Xuan Lao appointed you as our leader, but after you were absent, I became the leader." Wang Qiu'er spoke solemnly, looking at him.
Xiao Yi nodded calmly and then glanced at the direction of other teammates, including Dai Huabin. "Well, you can stay as a leader; I don't mind. Also, I won't participate in the competition until necessary."
After speaking, he walked toward his room, leaving behind the silent Shrek team.
"What does he think he is? Why would Xuan Lao choose someone like him as a leader? As a Shrek monster, he is quite arrogant. I can defeat him now." Dai Huabin commented with a disdainful expression on his face,
"He is not arrogant but strong, even stronger than me. You couldn't defeat me, let alone him."
Wang Qiu'er replied and then glanced at the Dai Huabin and walked away, leaving the hall with a thoughtful expression on her face.
'Snow Empress, one of the archaic beasts in the north, I didn't expect fate to choose her as the next destiny beast after me.'
She thought to herself, sensing the power of fate and destiny surrounding the snow empress. As a destiny soul beast, no one can better understand such power beside her.
…
The next morning,
All the candidates from different sects and academies gathered in the Mingde competition venue.
"Hello candidates, and welcome to the continental elite soul master competition. I am your referee, Zhang Li."
The referee announced his name standing on the podium looking at the audience below, then he gestured toward the main gates of the venue.
