If it hadn't been decided by the final competition organizing committee, in addition to the age limit of twenty, it also restricted the sect's registered contestants to have at least five people with a cultivation level above the fourth ring. I'm afraid the number of participating teams in this competition would exceed the previous limit.

Ten times a term.

Even with such restrictions, in the end, the number of participating teams reached 167, which was much more than the previous year.

As the richest country on the Douluo Continent, the Sun and Moon Empire naturally does not mean anything to host such a competition. But even so, they have been preparing for this competition for three months. Mingdu, as the continent's largest

The city has also expanded a large number of hotels and added guest rooms in order to receive more guests during this grand event, especially merchants from other places, so as to earn more profits.

As the number one soul mentor country in the mainland, the Sun and Moon Empire also invested heavily in this competition. The final prize is no longer a soul bone, but a soul guide. The champion team will receive a ninth-level soul guide.

The runner-up is level 8, and the third runner-up is level 7.

The price of these three soul tools is much higher than the value of soul bones. Especially the ninth-level soul tools that the championship team can obtain, which are basically priceless treasures today. Only the Sun and Moon Empire has level nine soul tools.

Soul guide. At the same time, these ninth-level soul guides are the biggest threat to the other three countries on the mainland!

With the huge prizes, all participating teams are gearing up and working hard for a higher ranking. This is not only a good opportunity to become famous in one battle, but also a good time to get huge rewards!

For modern soul masters, if they want to become stronger, in addition to their own cultivation, they must rely on soul guidance devices. The high price of high-level soul guidance devices prohibits most soul masters.

.If you want to become a strong person, you cannot do it without money.

Mingdu, Imperial Palace of the Sun and Moon Empire, back garden.

The wheelchair moved slowly on the wide bluestone path in the back garden. Various plants were scattered throughout the garden. Every design was unique. The small waterfall in the rockery, the royal pattern of flowers, and the tall plants

The trees make the entire royal back garden of the Sun and Moon Empire feel like a beautiful forest.

"What's going on with Father?" Xu Tianran was sitting in a wheelchair with his eyes closed and a thin blanket covering his legs. His whole person exuded a faint sense of leisure.

The person pushing his wheelchair was none other than Orange.

Today, Orange is wearing a goose-yellow dress, which sets off her supple white skin, making her noble and elegant. Compared with before, she now has a bit more calm temperament, and occasionally flashes in her beautiful eyes,

It is a touching light of wisdom.

"Your Majesty's body may not be able to hold on anymore. The imperial doctor said that in the past few days, His Majesty has often been in coma and lost consciousness." Orange said softly.

Xu Tianran still had his eyes closed, as if the frail old man in Juzi's mouth had nothing to do with him.

"My father has worked hard throughout his life, not seeking merit, but seeking no faults. How many great opportunities have he missed! In the future history, he can only be a mediocre emperor. How will the military react?"

Orange said: "The military is very calm. Since we took control of the Mingdu Garrison, the military's original opposition has disappeared. At least two-fifths of the empire's troops are directly in our hands, and the other two-fifths are directly in our hands.

, are in a wait-and-see attitude or are only loyal to the emperor. Once you ascend the throne, I believe they will come over immediately. As for the last fifth, most of them are some powerful generals on the border. Some of them have been bribed by other princes, and some

Some are your old enemies."

A smile appeared at the corner of Xu Tianran's mouth. His smile was very beautiful, but for some reason, when Orange saw this smile, her heart felt as cold as falling into an ice cellar. Because she knew very well that whenever Xu Tianran showed such a smile,

That's when he decided to go on a killing spree.

"Don't worry, after I ascend to the throne of God, if they are stubborn to the end, you can go there." Xu Tianran said with a smile.

Orange's delicate body trembled slightly, but she still nodded and said, "Yes."

Xu Tianran turned around, glanced at her, and said: "Juzi, don't be so formal between you and me. After I ascend to the throne of God, the first thing I will do is to make you the queen and make your mother honor the world. You are always like this

If you are restrained, you will lose the grace and grace of a queen."

Orange smiled calmly and said: "Your Highness, you know that Orange follows you and does not seek any fame or status. Orange has only two wishes, one is to always be by your side; the other is to destroy the Star Luo Empire."

Xu Tianran nodded gently and said: "Both of your wishes will come true. Your performance in the army has exceeded my expectations. Even those old generals with a stubborn temper admire you very much. According to this

Trend, when we go to war with the Star Luo Empire in the future, you will be my marshal."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Orange quickly knelt down next to Xu Tianran's wheelchair.

Xu Tianran raised his hand to support her and said: "As I said, there is no need to be so polite between us. If you hadn't saved my life, I would have been dead long ago. Among the subordinates around me, I am more powerful than you.

There are strong people everywhere, but you are the only one who truly reassures me."

Orange's beautiful eyes were full of gratitude, but Xu Tianran didn't notice that deep in her eyes, there was indifference.

Can I really be free in front of you? In the past, there was a minister who was equally kind to you. Just because he behaved more freely in front of you, he died at home not long after. I gave the order for you.

Orange knows Xu Tianran's character very well. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed talented and has only one goal in life, which is to unify the entire Douluo Continent. Moreover, he is wise, tolerant, and ruthless in his methods. Although he is disabled,

But it has almost all the prerequisites for success.

However, since he broke his legs, his personality has become more and more cold, and even Orange dare not get close to him when he occasionally shows anger. He is not only a hero, but sometimes

, Orange even thought he was a madman, a very smart madman.

If she wants to take revenge, she needs the support of such a madman, but she doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of that minister. Therefore, whenever she is in front of Xu Tianran, she acts very carefully, conscientiously, and expresses her true inner thoughts.

, well buried.

Moreover, among those thoughts, there was a person quietly hidden - a young man who had been seriously injured because of her.

"Are the preparations for the competition almost complete? Do you have any reports from Hongchen Hall Master?" Xu Tianran continued to ask. When not fighting, Orange has almost become his most important intelligence officer. Xu Tianran is not exaggerating.

He really trusts Orange.

Orange nodded and said: "It's ready. Everything is going according to the original plan."

Xu Tianran said calmly: "Good birds choose trees to roost in. I hope their choices will be smarter. Otherwise, it will be a pity. Are the people from Shrek Academy here? They were the champions of the previous year. Moreover,

If the information is correct, the people representing Shrek Academy in this competition should be the ones who won the championship last time. If this is the case, their chances of winning are very high! It’s just a pity that the people from Shrek Academy, I’m afraid

It’s hard for me to use you!"

Orange's heart skipped a beat, and she still clearly remembered that that guy should be a member of that team.

Xu Tianran said: "It's better not to provoke Shrek Academy yet, and just let them go when the time comes. This face should still be given to Shrek. I also want to see what happens when people from Shrek Academy meet our people.

What wonderful sparks will bloom. By the way, go and invite Mr. Zhongli and tell him that I have something important to discuss with him."

"Yes." Orange stood up and hurried away.

Xu Tianran closed his eyes again, still smiling and looking relaxed, as if he was slightly asleep. In this back garden with the birds singing and the fragrance of flowers, this quiet comfort is fascinating.

About a hundred kilometers away from Mingdu, everyone from the Tang Sect landed. If we go further, we will enter the territory of Mingdu. As the capital of the country, it is also the country that is best at soul guidance devices. If we go further, we will enter Mingdu.

If you fly, I'm afraid it will become a target for Mingdu's urban defense system.

The journey was uneventful, and it only took half a day for everyone to arrive here.

Although everyone misses Huo Yuhao's craftsmanship, they can't keep a "disabled person" busy anymore. Jiang Nannan, Xiao Xiao, and Wang Dong'er have become chefs without hesitation. As for Jing Ziyan, although she is also a girl,

But it seemed that apart from wielding a knife and a gun, she really didn't know much about these tasks, so she could only blush and help others.

Among the girls, Jiang Nannan has the best skills. Although Wang Donger learned from Huo Yuhao for a few days, she eventually became a monk halfway. Huo Yuhao heard Xu Sanshi mentioned before that Jiang Nannan's family was poor and she had become sensible very early in her childhood. She was definitely good at handling housework.

A good hand. Facts have proved that it is so.

They came to compete this time and were fully prepared before setting off. They brought a lot of various ingredients with them. With Huo Yuhao, the owner of the ultimate ice soul power, they were naturally not afraid of problems such as staleness.

Huo Yuhao's lunch was fed by Wang Dong'er. Huo Yuhao only had one right hand to use, so it would be more difficult for him to eat by himself. Wang Dong'er didn't want to make him so tired, so he took over the job, but the result was that others looked at him from time to time.

A gleam of envy and jealousy emerged.

Xu Sanshi looked at Wang Donger who was feeding Huo Yuhao, and whispered to Jiang Nannan beside him: "My dear, you can feed me too."

Jiang Nannan asked angrily: "What is your age this year?"

Xu Sanshi said shyly: "Three years old..."

"Get out!" Jiang Nannan roared angrily, scaring Xu Sanshi to the point where he rolled around and dodged her flying kick.

On the other hand, the difference in personality is most vividly reflected in the same thing.

He Caitou looked at Xiao Xiao with gentle eyes and said: "How about I feed you too. You eat too little, I think you are thin."

Xiao Xiao smiled and said: "I'm not that fragile. I can just eat by myself. You should eat quickly too. You have lost weight too."

Jing Ziyan rolled her eyes as she listened, "Skinny? Is this guy thin? Three hundred pounds! That guy is as majestic as a mountain, and this girl also said he was thin, so he can really talk! Men and women in love, as expected,

IQ is infinitely close to zero!

In fact, Jing Ziyan was quite depressed. As the first test subject of Huo Yuhao's self-created spirit and soul fusion technique, it really left a shadow in her heart. With the existence of this shadow, she knew that she might never be able to do anything again in the future.

I challenged Huo Yuhao!

Ji Juechen became even more silent, always thinking, gesticulating with his right hand from time to time, as if he was simulating something.

Everyone had a relaxing and warm lunch. No one was in a hurry to set off. There were still two days until the final deadline for registration for the competition. After entering Mingdu, they had to be extremely careful at all times.

.But here at this time, it is a rare place to relax and rest!

Just as everyone was finishing lunch, drinking the last delicious broth, and taking a rest, suddenly, a rapid sound of horse hooves sounded in the distance.

Before everyone got up to check, the familiar mental detection sharing had already appeared. A completely perspective-shaped mental detection image appeared in everyone's mind.

You must know that although the original mental detection sharing was very detailed, the color was definitely not good, let alone the image could be presented so clearly at such a long distance.

It was a horse team, with a total of fourteen people, all dressed in black. The horses were extraordinary. They were much taller than ordinary horses, more than four meters long, and about one and eight meters high at the shoulders. They were extremely majestic.

What's even more strange is that these dark horses have no hair on their bodies, only a layer of fine scales, and a faint bulge on their heads.

"Hey, horn-scaled horse. It's so rich!" Jing Ziyan couldn't help but say.

Horned scale horses have nothing to do with ordinary horses. They are a type of soul beast. They are not good at attacking, but their defense is quite good. This kind of soul beasts usually gather in groups and possess the innate soul skill Black Scale.
