Ever since Meng Hongchen's flamboyant declaration of love at the Soul Master Tournament, members of the Heaven Spirit Empire Royal Team, the Star Luo Royal Team… and other advanced Soul Master Academy teams began to suddenly confess their feelings for Su Qingfeng on the competition stage.
This situation left all the academies feeling quite helpless. Even the organizers, the Star Luo Royal Family, were powerless to intervene, because even Princess Jiujiu, the Star Luo Emperor's sister, was participating.
Furthermore, Jiujiu did something that shocked everyone on the stage. The princess, in her royal wedding attire, appeared on the stage and proposed to Su Qingfeng.
Immediately, the entire arena erupted in an uproar.
News of this spread, and the people of the entire Star Luo Empire were similarly in an uproar.
This world was too bizarre!
Even a princess would do something so crazy!
Soon enough, Elder Xuan and Yan Shaozhe also felt the pressure.
The Star Luo Emperor had invited them repeatedly, hoping they would bring Su Qingfeng to the Star Luo Imperial Palace as guests. However, they had declined, citing the need to focus on preparing for the competition.
Because of this, the Star Luo Empress was quite angry with the Star Luo Emperor, and had even denied him… activities for several days.
At the same time, the leaders of other advanced soul master academies staying at the Star Emperor Hotel had also approached Shrek Academy's leaders, hoping to arrange a joint event between the two academies so that the students could get to know each other.
How could Yan Shaozhe not see that these people were all after his little junior brother!
Some people even found out Su Qingfeng's room number and tried to barge in at night to forcibly take him away. Fortunately, Elder Xuan was prepared and drove those guys away.
It would have been one thing if outsiders were causing trouble, but Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen, Tang Wutong, and Qiu'er were also coveting Su Qingfeng's body. They went out for walks every night, wandering around, and seemingly concerned, asked Elder Xuan and Yan Shaozhe if they wanted to rest, offering to help watch over things.
How could they not know that they just wanted to find an opportunity to take advantage of the Holy Son!
Especially Qiu'er. She had only just experienced the joy of being human, especially the joy of being a woman, on Sea God Island. Now, she was in Star Luo City to participate in the Soul Master Tournament. That feeling of being cut off was hard to bear.
Besides the pressure from the imperial family and the competitors, there was also the audience's anticipation. Su Qingfeng hadn't appeared in several matches, nor had he been seen for days. The audience was already preparing to protest.
That day, the weather was gloomy. A few light, wispy clouds drifted across the sky. Outside the Star Emperor Hotel, several hundred soldiers were stationed during the competition.
Tens of thousands of people gathered in Star Luo City and marched towards the Star Emperor Hotel.
Along the way, they drew in some Star Luo residents and onlookers. The team grew larger, eventually forming a massive force of over a hundred thousand people, blocking every road leading to the Star Emperor Hotel.
They held up banners that read:
"Su Qingfeng's Supporters!"
"Willing to die for Su Qingfeng!"
"Peerless Su Qingfeng, an immortal descended to the mortal world!"
"Ten thousand people's petition: Please let Su Qingfeng compete!"
The last banner was a blood-red text, stretching for three hundred meters! They were not only holding banners, but also shouting: "Shrek Academy, let Su Qingfeng compete!"
"Shrek is selfish and self-serving, controlling the Immortal! Give the Immortal freedom!"
"Su Qingfeng belongs to the people of the entire continent, not something Shrek Academy can privately possess just because they are strong!"
"Release Su Qingfeng, I seriously suspect you've put the god of men under house arrest!"
Tens of thousands of voices echoed in Star Luo City, the sound was incredibly loud, reverberating through the clouds.
Watching this scene, some people who lived in the luxurious hotels around Star Luo Square came out to watch, looking surprised.
Titan and Niu Tian stood on the top floor of an eight-story hotel, gazing at the dense crowd below. The sheer number of people made them both gasp in surprise.
"This Su Qingfeng, how does he possess such charisma? Just because he hasn't been in a match, so many fans are going crazy for him? I'm increasingly curious about this Su Qingfeng."
"Just how handsome and powerful is he? What kind of person did Xiao Tong actually fall for?"
Titan's face suddenly turned somewhat goofy, a look of bewilderment on his face.
A demonstration of over a hundred thousand people would be a destabilizing event in any country.
These people could sway the emotions of people all across the nation. One person could influence at least ten others through their relatives and friends. If handled poorly, millions would be unsettled, which could shake the very foundations of a nation! And this was all because a young man hadn't appeared in a few matches. It sounded like a fantastical tale!
Titan and Niu Tian had only arrived after the start of the Soul Master Tournament, because they heard that Su Qingfeng would be participating. They wanted to see him first, then report back to God King Tang San about Tang Wutong's situation.
When they arrived, Su Qingfeng's first elimination match was already over, which they had unfortunately missed.
"Look, Er Ming, perhaps Xiao Tong wasn't exaggerating. This Su Qingfeng might really leave us stunned," Niu Tian said, gazing at the crowd.
Titan nodded. "I didn't believe it at first, but now I have to. However, if this continues, I'm afraid there will be unrest in the Star Luo royal family."
Several hundred meters away from them, another hotel stood, with similar floors and height. The exterior of the hotel was mostly made of refined glass. It was impossible to see the interior from the outside, but from the inside, one could see everything outside.
Sleep Nightmare Douluo, along with two elders of the Holy Spirit Cult: Heaven Centipede Douluo Nangong Wan and Netherworld Douluo, had also arrived in Star Luo City.
As soon as they arrived, they encountered this rare, once-in-a-thousand-years, hundred-thousand-person demonstration. Netherworld Douluo licked his lips:
"So many people. With one move, I could kill at least a thousand people. What a great place for cultivation. These hundred thousand people might be enough for me to break through to the next level."
"Netherworld, don't forget what we're here for. The Great Elder wants the leader of the Shrek Seven Devils. Moreover, there are countless strong individuals in Star Luo City. Once our position and identity are exposed, we will both be hunted down."
Nangong Wan said, dispelling Netherworld Douluo's thoughts.
Normally, the three of them working together would be enough to run rampant. But during the competition, every high-level academy would send a few strong individuals from their academy to escort their students. If they, the evil soul masters, were exposed, they would face the situation of being collectively hunted down by those strong individuals!
"Let them make a fuss. It's not a solution for this Su Qingfeng to keep a low profile. Just you wait and see. If we can bring this Su Qingfeng back to the Great Elder, the Great Elder will also be very happy. Then, both of us will be credited with a great achievement."
Sleep Nightmare Douluo was very confident.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! More than ten thousand people have risen up in the city and are heading directly towards the Imperial Palace! Your Majesty, what should we do?"
In the Star Luo Imperial Palace, the Star Luo Emperor, who was resting, was awakened by the sharp voice of a eunuch. He steadied his crown.
"What? Rebels have entered the Imperial Palace? Who has rebelled? Bring me my greatsword!"
"Oh dear, no, Your Majesty, those people aren't rebelling. According to the servants' information, they seem to be heading towards Shrek Academy."
The Star Luo Emperor then became serious and breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's go. Let's go and see what's going on. How could so many as ten thousand people gather?"
Ten thousand people causing trouble in the imperial city, even the Star Luo Emperor was alarmed. If they turned around and stormed the Imperial Palace, it would be a bloodbath!!
Ten thousand people surrounded the Star Emperor Hotel, and the thousand soldiers who came out of the hotel were desperately holding their ground, but they couldn't resist the pressure of ten thousand people.
The Star Luo Emperor was terrified when he witnessed this scene.
He immediately summoned a thousand Imperial Guards to clear a path for him and personally entered the Star Emperor Hotel. He pleaded with Yan Shaozhe, begging him to consider that he had previously agreed to enhance the security of the competition venue and to satisfy the demands of the fervent fans by allowing Su Qingfeng to participate.
Elder Xuan and Yan Shaozhe nodded in agreement.
The Star Luo Emperor ascended to the top floor of the Star Emperor Hotel, the highest point outside the Imperial Palace. Under the amplification of the soul guide, the Emperor's voice resonated throughout the city:
"Please, fellow soul masters and citizens from all over the continent, do not act rashly. I am the Star Luo Emperor. Rioting will not solve the problem. If the Immortal Su Qingfeng sees your frenzy, he will also be frightened by you. Your encirclement of the Star Emperor Hotel will not only affect the smooth progress of the subsequent Soul Master Tournament but may also cause the Immortal Su Qingfeng to be displeased. Do you really want the person you are pursuing to dislike you?"
"I know you all want to see the Immortal Su Qingfeng compete again. I, like you, admire this Immortal youth. My Empress is equally infatuated with him, so I understand your feelings. However, the rules of the Soul Master Tournament allow Shrek Academy to send in substitute members; this is their right."
Initially, the Star Luo Emperor's first sentence barely managed to calm the crowd. The following sentence was also reasonable, but it ignited a wave of outrage and resistance: What did this mean? That they wouldn't let Su Qingfeng compete, even if it was within the rules?
"If my god isn't allowed to compete, we want a refund!"
"Damn it, give us our money back!"
"Su Qingfeng must compete; we only want to see him!!!"
"Otherwise, we'll cause a ruckus in Star Luo City! If we don't see Su Qingfeng in the matches, this Soul Master Tournament might as well not even happen!"
Their voices in that area even drowned out the amplifiers!
The Star Luo Emperor, a man who had ruled for decades, now felt a mix of helplessness and frustration.
When had he, the Emperor, ever lowered himself to the commoners and low-level Soul Masters?
Star Luo Emperor spoke solemnly, "Everyone, please calm down. I, the Star Luo Emperor, guarantee it! In the next match, you will see Su Qingfeng on the stage. Please disperse and wait for the next round of the tournament to begin!"
"I repeat, I, the Star Luo Emperor, guarantee that the Immortal, the Child of the Stars, Su Qingfeng, will participate in Shrek Academy's next match!"
