I really am a Titled Douluo

After a brief negotiation, Shen Yi led the students back to their respective rooms…

Of course, since the number of people from both Shrek Academy and Tang Sect was rather large, they did not stay together, but were divided into several rooms…

At that moment, when the first-class students entered the hotel room, they were all shocked by the lavish decor…

Xu Xiaoyan's eyes lit up as she exclaimed, "Oh my god, these light fixtures, and even the sofas, are all gold-plated! How much must that have cost!"

Xie Xie turned his attention elsewhere and gasped, "Hiss… look, there's even a pool and a forging room. Can a hotel even reach this level?"

As he spoke, images of Gu Yue and the others in swimsuits shyly appeared in his mind…

Gu Yue analyzed, "The Sea City Grand Hotel truly is the top hotel in Skysea City. Just the construction costs alone must be astronomical!"

"But correspondingly, the charges are extremely high. I heard it costs tens of thousands of federation coins to stay a day! The top rooms cost even hundreds of thousands, which ordinary people simply cannot afford! The Academy must have really splurged."

Tang Wulin patted Gu Yue on the shoulder, excitedly saying, "Since it's not our money, let's not think too much about it!"

Feeling his touch, Gu Yue instinctively knocked his hand away, her expression indifferent as she responded, "Hmm."

This scene was naturally noticed by other students, but none said anything more.

Xu Sheng interrupted everyone's discussion and smiled, "It seems everyone is quite satisfied with the hotel. For now, you may move around freely, but of course, you cannot leave the Sea City Grand Hotel."

"Moreover, I want to remind you that there are many Soul Masters here for the exchange. If you want to improve your strength, you might try challenging them!"

With that, Xu Sheng waved and turned to leave…

His words caught Wu Dousi's attention, her beautiful eyes subtly brightening, "Improve strength?"

With that thought, she started to stride toward the door…

Seeing this, Luo Guixing frowned and asked, "Hey, Wu Dousi, where are you planning to go?"

Beside him, Zheng Yiran also threw a puzzled look…

Wu Dousi paused for a moment then replied coldly, "Naturally, I'm going to improve my strength."

Instead of wasting time here with petty talk, it would be better to follow Teacher Xu's suggestion and find some Soul Masters to challenge!

Without looking back, she then left the room…

Zheng Yiran clenched her teeth in anger and muttered, "Damn, this person is really starting to ignore us more and more!"

Since she came back to the Academy, she has not seen me as an equal!

Luo Guixing shrugged his shoulders and sighed, "There's nothing we can do, who else in our class is as strong as Wu Dousi?"

"If your strength was higher than hers, maybe she would be willing to spar with you."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yiran pouted, "Hmph, who wants to spar with her?"

That terrifying strength could probably only be matched by second-year Yuanen Yehui.

Meanwhile, Xu Xiaoyan glanced at Tang Wulin and then at Gu Yue, seeming to perceive something…

She immediately grabbed the latter's arm, playfully pulling her, "Gu Yue, stop looking, let's go swimming. That pool is really big! Oh, and let's invite Xing Lan too!"

Ye Xinglan and Gu Yue were stunned but didn't refuse, and were dragged toward the pool in front...

At that moment, Xie Xie and Xu Lizhi finally came to Tang Wulin's side, both curiously said, "Wulin, did you offend Gu Yue? It seems like she doesn't want to talk to you."

"Yeah, I noticed too. Gu Yue had an awful look on her face when you patted her shoulder!"

Tang Wulin watched Gu Yue leaving and shook his head, "I don't know. Since we were on the Soul Guidance Train, Gu Yue has been acting different!"

Seeing that he was also clueless, Xie Xie complained, "Then think carefully. Was there anything special that happened on the Soul Guidance Train? Otherwise, why would Gu Yue suddenly dislike you for no reason?"

...

Finally, after a delightful vacation time at the beach, most of the Soul Masters who came to participate in the Xingluo Land exchange competition had let go of the incident that had happened a few days ago!

Their attitude towards the Xingluo Imperial Academy had also improved a lot...

At that moment, Sima Lanxiao gazed down at everyone and revealed a sunny smile, "I'm sure everyone has enjoyed these two days of vacation, thanks to the support from the Xingluo Imperial Academy!"

"But next, I hope everyone can focus their minds and concentrate entirely on the upcoming exchange competition. Now, let's welcome Secretary-General Pan with applause to reveal the next part of our itinerary!"

With that, he handed the microphone to Pan Wen, who had walked onto the stage...

After the fervent applause stopped, Pan Wen coughed lightly and explained, "First, our first stop will be the capital of the Xingluo Empire, Xingluo City!"

"There, a grand Youthful Soul Master Competition will be held! Everyone is free to choose whether to participate!"

This statement immediately drew dissatisfaction from many Soul Masters, who began to complain, "What? We are here to participate in the Xingluo Land exchange competition, not some Youthful Soul Master Competition!"

"Exactly! We were already impatient from waiting, and now they want us to participate in another competition? We might as well cancel the exchange competition!"

"Who has the energy to participate in so many competitions? We'll be exhausted! Besides, the rewards are probably mediocre!"

"Whoever wants to go, go. I'm not going. It's a pure waste of time!"

Luo Guixing frowned, "What is Xingluo Land really up to? It wasn't easy to lighten the impact of the attack with a few days' vacation. Now they are stirring up trouble again!"

Zheng Yiran echoed, "Exactly, if we are to participate in this so-called Youthful Soul Master Competition, it would be better to just cancel the exchange competition altogether."

Yang Nianxia pursed her lips and said, "Let's listen first. If the strength gap isn't too big, we might try it! After all, with Wu Siduo's strength, leading us to the top three shouldn't be a problem!"

On hearing this, Wu Siduo raised her eyebrows, "I didn't say I would take you with me."

In her view, the others were just a burden!

Seeing the extremely displeased expressions on everyone's faces, Pan Wen awkwardly said, "I didn't expect everyone to be so unwilling. However, the reward for the Youthful Soul Master Competition is extremely precious—soul bones!"

Upon blurting that out, immediate gasps of shock erupted...

Tang Wulin's eyes widened, "Soul bones! Such precious items. Are they really being offered as prizes?"

Xie Xie's face lit up as he licked his lips, "Soul bones were already extremely precious before, and now they are even more unobtainable. Xingluo Land is really being extravagant. Just not sure what the champions' reward for the exchange competition is!"

However, Xu Xiaoyan's words poured cold water on him, "Don't daydream! There will probably be many strong competitors in the Youthful Soul Master Competition. Do you really think we can win the championship?"

Although their strength had significantly improved, they weren't to the point of arrogance!
