Over the next few days, Xiao Ze took Ning Rongrong and others to explore the surroundings of Nuoding City.
Although Nuoding City was just a remote small city, the scenery here was still very beautiful.
A week later, with only a few days left until the Heaven Dou competition, they needed to hurry back.
"Grandpa Xiao, you've been away for so long, won't something happen at the Academy?" Xiao Ze asked.
"Don't worry, I've already delegated everything.
Besides, they know you're going to participate in the finals, they're practically itching to go with me."
"Grandpa Xiao, I have a special spirit tool here that can let them watch the competition." Xiao Ze took out a recording spirit tool.
"Grandpa Xiao, when we compete, you just do this, and then that. Afterwards, you can show it to them when we get back," Xiao Ze explained.
"That's interesting, you actually have such a spirit tool." Grandpa Xiao took it and immediately started playing with it.
Grandpa Xiao kept recording everywhere, having a great time.
Xiao Ze felt that Grandpa Xiao was getting younger and younger now, which was a good thing.
Heaven Dou City was still quite a distance from Nuoding City.
Under the full speed of the carriage, they only returned to the Academy the day before the competition.
"Bing'er, Yue'er, and Huo Wu, you all have your competition tomorrow. Go back and rest, compete well, and we'll still meet in the finals," Xiao Ze said.
"Okay, goodbye, Brother Xiao Ze." Shui Yueer stood on her tiptoes and kissed Xiao Ze's cheek.
Huo Wu was not to be outdone, giving him a fierce kiss, as if she wanted to kiss Xiao Ze's face until it turned red.
Water Binger saw that both her sisters had kissed him, leaving only herself.
Blushing, she also leaned in and kissed him.
Soft and gentle, cool and refreshing, it was very comfortable.
"Ahem... Alright, go back." Xiao Ze felt several gazes from behind him and felt a little embarrassed.
...
As soon as Ning Rongrong entered the door, she threw herself into the soft sofa, burying her face in the velvet cushion and letting out a long moan: "Ah!! I'm finally back, I'm exhausted."
She rolled around on the sofa, her hairband long since flung to some corner.
Xiao Ze raised an eyebrow, watching the human whirlwind on the sofa, and suddenly reached out to lightly pat her upturned bottom twice.
Ning Rongrong jolted, and before she could react, she was lifted up by the waist.
She subconsciously wrapped her arms around Xiao Ze's neck, straddling his lap.
"Are you still a child? Rolling around on the sofa." Xiao Ze poked Ning Rongrong's forehead.
"Hehe... It's just that I haven't been home in a long time, and I miss it a bit." Ning Rongrong kissed Xiao Ze's face.
This villa held too many memories for them.
Many first times had happened in this villa.
Xiao Ze also kissed Ning Rongrong's lips, soft and wonderfully flavored.
"Go to bed early, we still have to watch the competition tomorrow. It seems the first match is our Tian Dou Royal Academy's second team," Xiao Ze said.
"Got it."
They had been playing outside this whole time and were indeed a bit tired.
...
The next day.
The thin morning mist had not yet dissipated, but the Tian Dou Great Spirit Arena was already bustling with noise.
After its renovation, the Tian Dou Great Spirit Arena had become a super massive competition venue, capable of accommodating eighty thousand spectators simultaneously.
Tens of thousands of spectators poured in like a tide; although there were still two hours until the opening ceremony, long queues had already formed at all entrances.
Some noble young ladies dressed themselves in their most beautiful attire, entering the Great Spirit Arena surrounded by guards.
They had no spirit power, or relatively little spirit power.
Coming here was also to find a good match for their families and themselves, as the Spirit Masters participating in the competition here were all young and promising.
As long as they weren't too bad, there were still many Spirit Masters who wanted to marry them.
"Look quickly! That's Yu Tianheng of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan! He's also one of the Thunder Academy's twin stars!" A sudden scream erupted from the crowd.
"That's right, he's quite handsome."
Yu Tianheng and the others slowly appeared, walking towards the Great Spirit Arena.
Xiao Ze regretted seeing their school uniforms; he had wanted to see Shrek Academy's trashy school uniforms, but unfortunately, he couldn't now.
Tang San felt a gaze and turned to meet Xiao Ze's eyes.
Xiao Ze nodded slightly.
Tang San's expression was calm, but in his heart, he wanted to work harder, improve his spirit power, and defeat Xiao Ze.
However, Xiao Ze didn't even put him in his eyes.
Not to mention that Tang San didn't have Immortal Herbs now, he wasn't even a Spirit Ancestor, at most around level thirty-something.
Even if Tang San was the same as in the original work, his spirit power wouldn't be as high as his, let alone his strength.
Some nobles were also outside at this moment, all intending to recruit Spirit Masters.
After all, nobles still needed some superficial strength.
These talents were all sought-after individuals.
All the second-floor windows of the tea houses in the city were packed with people.
Heaven Dou City was incredibly chaotic at this moment.
Even an old man selling sugar paintings could sell an ice phoenix sugar for the price of a gold coin.
It was utterly outrageous.
No one knew how many times the price had been multiplied.
The city's guard formed a human wall, isolating some of the frenzied crowd outside.
There were so many people in Heaven Dou City this time that it had to be managed well, otherwise, things could easily go wrong.
"Wow! So many people!" Ning Rongrong looked around, seeing nothing but a dense sea of heads.
"Indeed, there are many people, even people from very distant cities have come, just to watch the competition."
"Do you think we can still participate in this competition next time?" Ning Rongrong asked.
"Uh... Theoretically, yes, but wouldn't that be a bit unfair?" Xiao Ze said, somewhat speechless.
"Hehe, I know, I was just asking." Ning Rongrong also felt that would be too much.
Although in four years, she would still only be eighteen, her spirit power was expected to be around Spirit Saint.
If a Spirit Saint came to participate in this competition, others wouldn't even need to compete, they could just jump off the stage.
Today was the opening ceremony.
It was also the first day of the entire All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.
There was only one match, more like an exhibition match.
It was Tian Dou Royal Academy's second team drawing an opponent to compete against.
If there were no surprises, it would be Blue Tyrant Academy.
Without the boost from the Shrek Academy members, Blue Tyrant Academy would essentially be no match for Tian Dou Royal Academy.
After all, Blue Tyrant Academy only had a low-configuration Golden Generation, with their strength only around level thirty-five, far too weak.
It should be noted that due to the presence of Xu Hanfeng and others,
Dream Machine had sent everyone from the original first team, except for the Shi Mo brothers, to the second team.
Yu Feng and Oslo were both Spirit Ancestor-level Spirit Masters.
How could Blue Tyrant Academy possibly be their opponent?
Soon, Xiao Ze and the others arrived at Tian Dou Royal Academy's resting area.
The resting area was a single large space, but a large portion of it belonged to Tian Dou Royal Academy.
