"Brother."
"The information is all here."
"Please take a look."
In a classic wooden study filled with the scent of cedar incense, Xu Jiawei, dressed in casual clothes, sat in a chair, holding a collection of poems from the Star Luo Empire in one hand, carefully reading it.
The Star Luo Empire is mostly mountainous, with several mountain ranges winding like giant dragons, dividing the map of the entire Star Luo Empire into several parts.
This unique geographical pattern gives the region many beautiful landscapes, and it is also a cradle for poetry.
Xu Jiujiu stood beside Xu Jiawei, holding a document in her hand, a document collected using a large number of secret guards.
Xu Jiawei put down the poetry collection, took the document, and began to scan it quickly.
Xu Jiujiu remained silent, waiting for her brother to finish reading the document.
After a long silence, Xu Jiawei sighed softly and said,
"Shrek Academy truly has a profound foundation!"
"Just when everyone thinks it's a giant on its last legs, it always manages to regain its vitality and bare its fangs at everyone."
Xu Jiujiu asked softly,
"What's wrong with the information?"
Xu Jiawei handed the documents in his hand to Xu Jiujiu and said,
"Take a look too."
"It's just the two of us here. We're siblings, so there's nothing to hide."
"The student named Medmus from yesterday is a first-year student at Shrek Academy."
"According to their own registration, they're just level 30 and haven't acquired their spirit rings yet."
"I showed that video I made yesterday to the elders in the Hall of Worship."
"Guess what?"
Xu Jiujiu said with a puzzled look,
"Brother, don't keep me in suspense."
"Just tell me."
Xu Jiawei chuckled softly, easing some of his inner gloom.
"His Majesty the Crimson Dragon, the Hall Master of the Offering Hall, said that the flames on that young man named Medmus are approaching the ultimate level of fire."
"His power has probably already reached its peak."
"Shrek Academy must know this student's talent; they'll probably spare no expense to buy fire-attribute rare and precious materials to push his fire attribute to the ultimate level."
"He will be the first dual-ultimate Soul Master in the history of the continent."
"He's truly a monster!"
Xu Jiujiu placed her hand on Xu Jiawei's shoulder and massaged it, saying,
"Shuangjizhi, it seems that the guy named Medmos is the ace and captain of the Shrek Academy team this time."
"I didn't expect that Shrek Academy, whose main team was almost wiped out, could still have such terrifying combat power with its reserve team.
It truly deserves to be called the number one academy on the continent."
"Our Xingluo Academy is probably going to be in a tough battle again this time."
Hearing her words, Xu Jiawei shook his head slightly and said,
"That kid named Medmos is not the captain of the Shrek Academy team this year."
"According to the secret guards and registration information, the captain of the Shrek Academy team this year is a student named Bai E."
"Since yesterday, I have found out the information of everyone on the main team this time."
"I am terrified when I see the information of these people!"
"Sister, there is information about Bai E in the data. Take a look."
Xu Jiujiu immediately looked at the data, her gaze went straight to Bai E's line, and after quickly reading it, her pupils shrank.
"The Ultimate Light?!"
Xu Jiawei nodded and said,
"Shrek Academy didn't hide anything at all; this information can be found on the Magic Network."
"Through the videos on the Magic Network, it's not hard to determine that the opponent is the legendary Ultimate Light."
"The Ultimate Light! This is really troublesome."
Xu Jiujiu smiled bitterly. She knew that her Star Crown Martial Soul was of the Starlight attribute, a derivative of the Light attribute.
The Ultimate Light, as the strongest light, naturally suppressed her.
Against this person named Bai E, she might not be able to unleash much of her strength and would be directly suppressed to death.
Xu Jiawei looked at Xu Jiujiu earnestly and said,
"It's just a competition; winning or losing isn't important."
As the face of the Star Luo Empire, Star Luo Academy only needs to reach the semi-finals."
"The championship is irrelevant now; our Star Luo Empire has never won one anyway."
"What I'm worried about now is that this generation of Shrek Seven Devils is just too talented!"
"And almost all of them have powerful backers; it's only a matter of time before they grow stronger."
"Look at them, two Ultimate Martial Souls; they will definitely reach the pinnacle of the continent in the future."
"That Ultimate Light has probably already been locked onto by Dragon God Douluo." "
The next five students, this one named Tibao, the information says she might have a rare Space Martial Soul, specific details unknown."
"This one named Feng Jin, information is easy to find, she used to practice medicine in the Heaven Dou Plain, known as the 'Hypnotist of Dim Light'."
"Those healed all praised her superb abilities."
"The oldest girl among them, Huo Sui'er, you've definitely heard of her, the beloved disciple of Taotie Douluo, her talent needs no further explanation."
"This girl named Xia Die, my secret guard told me she's the daughter of Huo Qiqiang, the newly promoted Super Douluo of the continent, Lingbing Douluo."
Last night, the secret guard tried to spy on her from afar, but was directly knocked unconscious by an unknown force.
When he woke up, he had eight scratches on his face, like the work of a cat-like soul beast."
"Uh, this one named Wang Dong…"
"Information is incomplete, but he might also have a promising future."
Then, Xu Jiawei paused, looking seriously at Xu Jiujiu, and said:
"If nothing unexpected happens, these seven people will probably at least become Super Douluo in the future."
"It's highly likely that one or even several Limit Douluos will emerge."
"Jiujiu, do you know what this means?"
Xu Jiujiu fell silent. Her perspective was still too narrow.
At first, upon hearing about these people's talent, she was worried about the upcoming matches.
Only after Xu Jiawei said this did she suddenly realize that decades later, or even twenty years later, these seven people might dominate an era.
Xu Jiawei, watching her lips move, stated his conclusion directly.
"This means that for the next three hundred years, our Star Luo Empire will still have to rely on Shrek Academy."
"Shrek Academy's strength is both a blessing and a curse for the Star Luo Empire."
"Having a powerful neighbor facing the threat from the Sun Moon Empire naturally brings a sense of security."
"But when there is no danger, they themselves are the greatest danger."
"If the Star Luo Empire wants to remain strong, it must break free from Shrek Academy's constraints!"
After listening for a long time, Xu Jiujiu said softly,
"Brother, why don't the three kingdoms of Douluo unite?"
"If we form an alliance, with the help of the Star Dou Great Forest, we should be fearless against the Sun Moon Empire and Shrek Academy."
Xu Jiujiu's words silenced Xu Jiawei. He hadn't expected his younger sister to harbor such fantasies about Heavenly Souls and Battle Spirits.
He slapped his forehead, his tone tinged with helplessness and melancholy, and said,
"It really wasn't a good thing to keep you locked up in the Star Luo Empire all this time."
"In the future, when you have time, have His Majesty Nebula take you out more often."
"Don't just confine yourself to the Star Luo Empire anymore."
"Dou Ling and Tian Hun?"
"I'd be grateful if they didn't fight amongst themselves."
"If the Sun Moon Empire were to attack one day, and those two empires didn't become collaborators, I'd even praise them for having some principles."
If the Tian Hun Empire didn't have the Body Sect backing it up, it would have long since split into several parts."
"Dou Ling Empire…"
"Sigh, I don't want to talk about them."
"As long as they don't cause trouble, let them fend for themselves."
"In the vast Douluo Continent, only a few forces actually have the strength to fight."
"The rest are just rotten fish."
Xu Jiujiu blushed a little at Xu Jiawei's words; she really didn't know much about the other two empires and didn't know just how pathetic her two neighbors were.
Xu Jiawei shook his head, not continuing the discussion with Xu Jiujiu. He said to her,
"Go and inform the lower levels to replace this year's champion's three soul bones with better ones."
"Three soul bones: one light attribute, one wind attribute, and one related to strength."
"Remember, the quality must be high!"
"If the national treasury doesn't have them, spend money to acquire one."
Xu Jiujiu asked
"Brother, what's this?"
Xu Jiawei stood up, put the Star Luo Empire's poetry collection back on the bookshelf, and then said,
"If Shrek Academy wins, they'll see our intentions."
"In any case, our Star Luo Empire is the weaker party. Showing goodwill to Shrek Academy is also a survival strategy."
"The world is a racetrack, and all forces are running."
"If the Star Luo Empire wants to win, it must have more time to accumulate strength and find its rhythm."
"Making enemies with Shrek Academy will only compress our future time; it's not worth it."
"Go."
"Yes."
Xu Jiujiu slightly lifted her skirt and bowed before leaving the study.
