Chapter 353 Holy Spirit Cult, Tang Ya.
Just as everyone was about to say something more, a buzzing sound echoed in the sky, the ear-piercing whistle growing closer and closer. Everyone couldn't help but look up. What kind of crudely made flying soul tool is this? So noisy and flying so low!
As the group's wide flying soul tool narrowed in the air, more than ten people landed one after another, stopping on the other side of Huo Yuhao's camp.
"Hey, quite a few people. Those horned-scaled horses look good, but unfortunately they can only run on the ground. Their speed is far inferior to our Chongtian Sect's flying soul tools. They're probably just country bumpkins here to participate in the competition," the fat man at the head said arrogantly.
Such a rude and unruly group, resembling a disorganized rabble, made the group frown, their goodwill towards them completely vanishing.
After belittling everyone, the fat man strolled forward with an air of nonchalance. "You country bumpkins are actually pretty good cooks! Give me a bowl of meat soup and some dry rations! You'll get plenty of gold soul coins later."
He stood with his hands on his hips, his eyes carrying a hint of condescension.
"Is this your attitude when you come begging?" Wang Dong'er scoffed, not bothering to tone down her voice. The fat man instantly flew into a rage, looking towards her. Upon seeing Wang Dong'er, his fat face trembled slightly, and his beady eyes gleamed with greed.
"Beautiful...beautiful woman. What a beautiful woman!" he exclaimed, his body moving uncontrollably towards Wang Dong'er.
The next second, a tall figure blocked the fat man's path. The fat man wasn't tall, and when he looked up, he saw a cold, icy face.
"My young sect leader isn't someone you can covet! Get lost!" Tang Tian's voice wasn't loud, but it was chillingly cold, as if it came from the depths of hell.
Fatty Feng Ling shivered, feeling a chill run down his spine, and instinctively took a few steps back.
"What did you say? You dare tell me to get lost? Do you know who I am? I'm the young master of Chongtian Sect. My father is the current sect master of Chongtian Sect." Fatty's eyes widened, directly revealing his proud identity.
Tang Tian didn't waste any more words, raising his massive hand and slapping the fat man directly. Under everyone's gaze, the fat man was sent flying by the slap, his round body spinning several times in the air before crashing heavily to the ground.
"Insolence!" A middle-aged man leading the Chongtian Sect roared and charged towards Tang Tian.
Tang Tian didn't waste any words either. His muscles bulged, and in his right hand, an enormous black hammer held horizontally at his side. The hammerhead alone was the size of a water vat, with faint white and blue patterns visible on it.
Two yellow, two purple, and two black spirit rings rose in shock, leaving the Chongtian Sect group dumbfounded. A Spirit Emperor? How could a seemingly insignificant sect have such a young Spirit Emperor?
With Tang Tian's hammer strike, the defensive spirit skills of the dozen or so Chongtian Sect members instantly crumbled, and they were all sent flying backwards under everyone's gaze. Although they didn't vomit blood, their faces were horribly pale.
The fat man felt a tremor in his legs and a wet sensation in his groin. "Who...who did I offend just now?"
In a flurry of activity, the Chongtian Sect members scrambled away.
The farce ended abruptly. Tang Tian's displayed strength had won the approval of almost everyone present.
After bidding farewell to Huo Yuhao and the others, the Shrek Academy group, aided by the light breeze of the martial arts, sped towards Mingdu. Even the fattest member, Xie Huanyue, didn't fall behind.
Looking at the towering buildings and the non-existent city walls, the Shrek group, except for Wu Xuan and Ye Guyi, were shocked. The city before them truly deserved its title as the number one city on the continent.
According to the registration information, after entering Mingdu, their first task was to complete the registration process. Although the previous registration was already finished, to confirm the arrival of their sect's participating teams, they needed to complete the registration as well. Then, the Sun Moon Empire would arrange their accommodations and the competition schedule.
Compared to the overcrowded Star Luo City of the past, the streets of Mingdu, though noticeably more crowded due to the approaching tournament, didn't feel particularly congested. This was the advantage of a large enough city.
Mingyue Grand Hotel.
This was a large hotel, eight stories high, located in the heart of Mingdu. The entirely silver-white building could be seen from afar. Each floor was very tall, making it one of the tallest and most iconic buildings in Mingdu, even with only eight floors.
Upon entering the hotel lobby, a metallic feel washed over you. The interior decoration matched the exterior, all in silver-white. The various streamlined designs made it look like a finely crafted soul tool, tempting one to touch it.
At this moment, a considerable number of people had already gathered in the spacious lobby, spanning several thousand square meters. As soon as the Shrek group entered, a girl in a silver dress immediately greeted them. The group then directly identified themselves.
"Are you distinguished guests from Shrek Academy?" The girl's mouth gaped slightly in surprise, but she quickly recovered, and at her signal, more than ten welcoming girls quickly gathered around. The Shrek Academy group stood in two rows on either side.
The girl bowed and said, "Distinguished guests, as the champions of the previous competition, we have specially prepared a private passage for you to show our respect. Please follow me."
Following the girl's lead, Wu Xuan and his group went ahead.
Such a high-profile move naturally made Shrek Academy the focus of the entire hall. The other participating teams looked at Shrek with nothing but awe.
Suddenly, Wu Xuan and Ye Guyi, who were walking at the front, stopped almost simultaneously and turned around to look back. Just as everyone was wondering, a team of participants dressed in black robes entered the hall.
"Scorpion Tiger Douluo, Zhang Peng!" Zhang Lexuan, standing beside him, looked at the elderly man at the head of the group, her eyes instantly sharpening.
"This old guy is still alive?" Ma Xiaotao whispered, as if she had thought of something.
Wu Xuan's gaze fell on a girl beside the elderly man. The girl was tall and slender, wearing a large bamboo hat that obscured her face.
Is that you, Tang Ya!
If it really is you, then don't blame me! In his eyes, all evil spirit masters were dead, no matter who they were.
"They're all evil spirit masters." Ye Guyi clenched her fist tightly, then looked pleadingly at Wu Xuan beside her. Her gaze seemed to say, "You have to help me."
"Let's go, we'll talk about it later!" Wu Xuan called out softly, then led the way back to the VIP room.
Upon entering the VIP room, the welcoming girls quickly approached the Shrek Academy members with stacks of documents. It had to be said that the registration process was quite complicated; detailed information for each member, both regular and substitute, had to be filled out. Then, their appearance was recorded using a soul-guided imaging machine. Finally, a physical examination was required.
