Douluo protects our spirit hall

As Liu Erlong spoke, a smile broke out on his face, and this smile was as calm as before:
"That incident made me sad and heartbroken, and even caused me to have deep obsessions and knots in my heart. But fortunately, after so many years, my obsessions and knots in my heart have finally been resolved."

"And from the moment I untied my knot, I gradually recognized the truth and no longer indulged in the pain of the past, nor the love of the past."

"During this process, I discovered that I actually don't like Xiaogang as much as I thought. The perfect image of Xiaogang left in my heart is just the result of obsession and knots."

"Now that I think about it, all my previous obsessions and craziness were actually illusions, a kind of narcissism that deceived myself."

"After recognizing this fact, I naturally also recognized my sincerity. At this time, Xiaofeng happened to appear beside me, bringing me warmth and comfort that I had never experienced before. Then, I was inevitably obsessed with he."

"He's perfect."

Glancing at Flanders, whose expression was obviously more surprised, the smile on Liu Erlong's face suddenly changed, as if he was caught in sweet memories.

Before Flender could speak, Liu Erlong continued speaking on his own:
"Xiaofeng is different from Xiaogang. His knowledge is no less than that of Xiaogang. It can even be said that it far exceeds Xiaogang. The most important thing is that he can also give me an incomparable sense of security."

"Although Xiaofeng is much younger than me, the feeling of staying with him is very magical, very comfortable, and very reassuring."

"It seems that when I stay with him, I only need to be a little woman and a good sister. I don't even have to use my brain to think too much, and I don't have to be brave or force myself to do things I don't like."

"Can you understand this feeling? Oh, you may not understand it."

I really don't understand, but I probably understand what you mean. In short, Xiaogang has no chance.
After listening to Liu Erlong's words in silence, Flanders woke up from his surprise, but his face was already filled with regret, and of course helplessness, sadness and bitterness.

After being silent for a while, he looked at Liu Erlong with a complicated expression. His mouth was a little dry, but the remaining desire and hope in his heart still made him ask the question he wanted to ask the most:
"What about me? Didn't you consider me before choosing that little brother Ye Qifeng?"

After asking this question, Friend was visibly relieved.

Originally, he didn't plan to ask this question, because before that, Liu Erlong's beloved had always been his good brother Yu Xiaogang.

For the sake of his good brother, he would rather hide his love for Liu Erlong deep in his heart and bury it forever, unknown to anyone.

But now there seems to be a turning point, and the development of things has undergone unexpected changes. Liu Erlong actually let go of Yu Xiaogang and fell in love with another person.

This was something Flanders never expected, and it also made him feel the need to fight for it.

Although he had vaguely guessed the answer and knew that there would probably be no good results, he still had to say it.

This is to give myself an explanation, and also to put an end to my wrong self-love.

When he heard Flanders' sudden question, Liu Erlong's face was obviously stunned for a moment. He opened his eyes slightly and looked at Flanders, a little surprised to hear him ask this.

However, she didn't seem to be surprised.

After all, she had known that Flanders was interested in her a long time ago, and it was just because Yu Xiaogang was in the middle, and everyone tacitly understood each other for the sake of brother-sister friendship.

Now Flanders suddenly made his words clear, which somewhat caught Liu Erlong off guard, but after thinking silently for a while, he finally shook his head slowly and chose to tell the truth:
"I'm sorry, Flanders."

"Actually, I know that you have always liked me and admired me. I am not a fool. I have noticed it a long time ago."

"But I'm sorry, I really only regard you as a brother. I have never had any friendship that goes beyond the relationship between brother and sister."

"Emotions are always so wonderful. I don't understand them very well, and I can't explain them clearly, but to be honest, I really don't have feelings for you that go beyond friendship. I hope you can understand."

After listening to Liu Erlong's words, Flanders met her calm gaze and nodded slightly bitterly:

"I understand."

There was silence for a while.

Until a long time passed, Liu Erlong was the first to break the silence, with a hearty smile on her face:

"Okay, Boss Fu, let's not be so embarrassed. Even if that is not possible between you and me, you are still my brother and we are still good friends."

"And you don't have to worry about me. I will live a good life and will not abuse or destroy myself like before. After all, I already have Xiao Feng."

Looking up at Liu Erlong's charming and extremely young face, whose appearance was even more beautiful than before, Flanders could not help but feel swaying in his heart.

It's a pity that she doesn't belong to him after all!With a sigh, the swaying in Flanders' heart turned into a blessing:
"Erlong, I wish you happiness!"

Liu Erlong was startled for a moment, and then he laughed sweetly:

"Boss Fu, you too."

This smile is as bright as a peach blossom, stunning, and like the spring breeze, warming people's hearts.

Flanders felt like he was melting, but in the end the surprise and warmth cooled down, he waved his hands and sighed:

"I'll forget it. I'm already old and I don't have the impulse I had when I was young. Maybe this will be the case for the rest of my life."

As he spoke, his tone suddenly changed, and his signature cunning smile appeared on his bearded shoehorn face:

"But this is not bad. After all, freedom and freedom are the life I want."

After finishing speaking, Flanders was ready to leave:

"Erlong, let's stop talking here. I have been out for a long time and I have to go back to Tiandou Royal Academy."

Liu Erlong nodded slightly and said nothing to keep him. After all, Ye Qifeng was still waiting for him outside, and Flanders seemed to have his own things to do:
"Okay, anyway, you are all at Tiandou Royal Academy, which is not far from Tiandou City. You can come to Lanba Academy to visit me anytime you have time."

"And I believe we will meet again soon. After all, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition is about to begin."

Flanders suddenly laughed:
"That's right. Let's see you again in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition."

"But when the time comes, if you encounter our Shrek Seven Monsters team in the competition, remember to ask those little guys from Lanba Academy to be careful. Those little monsters from our Shrek Academy are a bit ignorant of the importance of their actions." It doesn't matter." Liu Erlong also smiled heartily, and then waved his hand nonchalantly:

"If we meet our Lanba Academy team, there is no need to give in. Even if we lose, they are not as skilled as others. Just don't cripple me."

"It just so happens that they also need some beating. Otherwise, when they enter the soul master world after graduating from Lanba Academy, they will inevitably be severely beaten by others."

"This Soul Master Elite Competition should be regarded as a preview in advance, allowing them to see the world and at the same time experience the cruelty of the Soul Master world."

Speaking of this, Liu Erlong had a smile on his face, glanced sideways at Flanders, quickly changed his tone, and warned in turn:

"However, I also want to remind you, don't underestimate the elite students of our Lanba Academy team."

"I know that those little monsters in your Shrek Academy are very talented and powerful, but the children trained by our Lanba Academy are not vegetarians. It is not certain who will win and who will lose."

"Don't let us find a chance, otherwise if your Shrek Academy loses, you will be embarrassed."

Flanders immediately laughed back:
"Haha——, okay, I remember."

…………

Flanders left with regret and mixed emotions.

Liu Erlong found Ye Qifeng waiting outside the reception room, and they went to the training room of the Lanba Academy team.

"Dean, Teacher Ye!"

Seeing Ye Qifeng and Liu Erlong walking in, the elite students of the Lanba Academy team who were conducting team training and tactical training in the training room stopped one after another to say hello to the two.

Ye Qifeng had a gentle smile on his face, nodded slightly in response, and then looked at the dozen or so elite students gathered around.

Looking at all the students in the Lanba Academy team, except for Jiangzhu, Tailong, Jingling and Huang Yuan, who were the elite students he designated as the focus of training back then, the other students were all recruited in the past few years. And they are relatively young and have pretty good talents.

Among these people, Tai Long, who possesses the powerful gorilla martial spirit, has the highest cultivation level, and his soul power level has reached the 41st level of the Soul Sect.

The second is Jiangzhu, an auxiliary healing soul master whose martial soul is a healing scepter and has not yet obtained the fourth soul ring. His soul power level is soul master level [-].

Next are the agile attack type soul master Jing Ling, whose martial soul is a skeleton, and the powerful attack type soul master Huang Yuan, who has a lone wolf martial spirit. Their soul power levels are both level 38.

As for the other three regular team members and the four substitutes, none of them have soul power levels lower than level 35. They are all between level 35 and level 37, and their configurations are all balanced.

After all, Lanba Academy is a civilian soul master academy with mixed students. It is not easy to gather these elite students to form a team.

But overall, the strength of the Lanba Academy team is pretty good. Among all the high-level soul master academy teams in the entire Tiandou Imperial City, it is at least above average. If it is placed in the major kingdoms and principalities affiliated with the Tiandou Empire, , can be regarded as the top one.

Also worth mentioning.

Among the Lanba Academy team, Tailong has the highest level of cultivation and the strongest strength, but because of his impulsive and irritable personality, the position of captain did not fall on him. Instead, Liu Erlong assigned him the position of captain with only one soul level. On Jiangzhu, who was one level behind him.

Tai Long condescended to fall into the position of vice-captain. Although he was slightly dissatisfied, due to Liu Erlong's power, he did not dare to beep any more and had to accept the arrangement honestly.

"Everyone, come here, I have something to say."

At this time, Liu Erlong clapped his hands, attracting the attention of everyone in the training room.

The elite students heard the sound and quickly came to Liu Erlong and Ye Qifeng to stand, consciously lining up in two lines.

Seeing everyone standing in line, even Tai Long, a problem student who was as strong as a gorilla, standing obediently behind Jiangzhu, who had shoulder-length crimson hair, Liu Erlong nodded with satisfaction:
"In a few days, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition will begin. Today I will introduce to you the basic information of this competition."

As he spoke, he glanced around all the elite students of the Lanba Academy team whose eyes were obviously starting to shine. He paused for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth and continued, with a sweet, hearty and majestic voice:

"The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition is the largest martial arts competition in the soul master world initiated and sponsored by Wuhun Palace. The strength of the participants is second only to the Elite Selection Competition of Wuhun Palace."

"There are rumors outside that this Soul Master Elite Competition is sponsored by the imperial royal families of Tiandou and Xingluo. In fact, this is not the case. They are only responsible for providing the venue and co-organizing the preliminaries and promotion matches."

"The finals will still be held in Wuhun City, the headquarters of Wuhun Palace, and the final reward of the competition will also be provided by Wuhun Palace, which is three soul bones."

"Tian Dou and Xing Dou, the two imperial royal families, are not so generous. They gave away three soul bones as rewards at once. Even if they were willing, they might not be able to get them, let alone the soul bones that are above the ten thousand year level."

"Wow——, the prize is a soul bone!" As soon as Liu Erlong finished speaking, everyone in the Lanba Academy team immediately became excited.

Especially when they heard her mention that the final reward of the Soul Master Elite Competition was three soul bones above the ten thousand year level, almost everyone was so shocked that their eyes widened with disbelief on their faces.

Looking at the students whose expressions became extremely exciting due to shock, Liu Erlong smiled slightly, raised his hand to stop their exclamations, and then continued:

"You must know what soul bones are and how much they are worth."

"As long as you are not distracted during martial arts theory classes, you should know that soul bones are a special item that can enhance the strength of a soul master. It is a treasure that all soul masters dream of."

"However, soul bones themselves are extremely rare. Centennial and thousand-year-level bones are very rare. Ten-thousand-year-level bones are also very rare, let alone those above the [-]-year-level bone."

"Soul bones of ten thousand years or above are already priceless treasures, the kind that even money can't buy. As long as one appears, it will almost certainly cause countless soul masters to flock to it."

"And Wuhun Palace can offer three soul bones of ten thousand years and above as the final championship reward of the Soul Master Elite Competition, which can be said to be full of sincerity. But if you want to take them away, you must have the strength."

Bang bang——, having said this, Liu Erlong clapped his hands again, pulling back the spirits of the team members from the shock that Wuhun Palace had given out ten thousand-year-level soul bones as rewards:
"Okay, everyone, come to your senses first."

"Let's stop talking about the championship rewards here. That is something that teams that advance to the finals need to consider. Our current energy should be focused on the upcoming qualifiers on the Empire side."

"Next, let's first explain some rules and precautions of the Soul Master Elite Competition. Well, Teacher Ye will tell you." (End of Chapter)
