Su Yu wrapped the dying seed with his own life force, placing it in a storage soul tool.

"Master, did you and the Evil Emperor have a conflict?"

Kong Deming furrowed his brows tightly, letting out a deep sigh. "Honestly, the recent hunting of the Evil Eye Clan has become quite severe. The Evil Emperor is probably at his breaking point. He barely managed to hold it together."

He could sense the Evil Emperor's struggle, and if pushed further, the Evil Emperor would likely go berserk.

The Sun and Moon Empire's reserves of soul tools were staggering, with a large number of level-9 fixed soul-guided cannonballs, but they still required talented individuals to operate them.

One large-scale mental attack from the Evil Emperor could instantly kill any soul master below the rank of Soul Sage.

This was still the result of Kong Deming's timely protective measures.

If Kong Deming hadn't noticed in time and used his own spiritual energy to counter the Evil Emperor's attack, any soul master below Titled Douluo would have perished. Even soul masters outside of the level-9 soul tool range would have been killed.

This is the terrifying power of the Evil Emperor.

The Evil Eye Clan's strength has not come without reason.

"In the next hundred years, hunting soul beasts in the Evil Forest will become much more difficult," Kong Deming said.

He had never considered completely avoiding the Evil Forest for hunting soul beasts. He simply intended to avoid hunting the soul beasts of the Evil Eye Clan.

"Hunting the Evil Eye Clan is basically impossible now."

What a pity.

The soul ring of the Evil Eye Tyrant was quite suited to that child, Huo Yuhao.

Kong Deming had seen Huo Yuhao and was well aware of his talent.

"Master, we are still in an upward trajectory. There's still a long way to go, and soon we'll be able to pull ahead of the Evil Emperor. By then, we won't have to worry about these things anymore," Su Yu said, showing no concern.

He wasn't worried about Huo Yuhao's soul ring, either.

The 800,000-year Evil Emperor's soul ring—Su Yu couldn't believe Huo Yuhao wouldn't be tempted by it. If his own martial soul weren't unsuitable, Su Yu would have wanted that soul ring for himself.

Shrek Academy.

Sea God Pavilion.

"Shaozhe, we need to finalize the list of participants for the Soul Master Tournament as soon as possible," Xuanzi said with a stern expression, emphasizing the importance of this competition.

After the previous tournament's defeat, Xuanzi had taken full responsibility. It wasn't a problem with the academy's teaching level, but rather his own mistake, which had resulted in significant losses for the team.

But this upcoming tournament was different.

There could be no room for failure.

"Don't worry, Elder Xuan. After the last Soul Master Tournament, we've been putting more effort into developing seed players," Yan Shaozhe said with a bitter smile.

Compared to previous years, this year's Shrek students were overall much stronger. This was the result of the academy investing large resources into them.

At the Gem Appraisal Conference, world-class treasures had even been presented, some of which had been used as collateral in loans to invest in the students.

Such significant investments had led to impressive results.

In the Inner Academy, all the students eligible to participate in this upcoming Soul Master Tournament had already been carefully selected. Even their missions to hunt evil soul masters had been reduced, allowing them to focus on their cultivation.

"Yes, this time the competition allows sects to participate as well. I want Tang Sect to form a team," Xuanzi revealed his plan.

It was clear that, while knowing the saying "don't put all your eggs in one basket," his words sounded quite lofty.

For the revival of the Tang Sect.

The Tang Sect had once been Shrek's ally.

"To qualify for the competition, we need at least five Soul Sect-level disciples. This isn't difficult, but the real question is, can Tang Sect gather enough people for a team of fourteen?" Xuanzi continued.

To participate, a team requires both official members and backup members, meaning a total of fourteen people. Of course, a smaller team can still participate, but if there are only five Soul Sect-level members, how they will perform once on the stage becomes another story.

Allowing Tang Sect to participate provides an extra layer of insurance, and their preparations must be thorough. At the very least, they must have a Soul Emperor in charge, or ideally, a team where everyone is at the Soul King level.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to hold their own against the Sun Moon Empire.

The thought of the three heavyweights from the Sun Moon Empire who would participate weighed heavily on Yan Shaozhe, Xuanzi, and the others from the Sea God Pavilion.

The siblings, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, who were Soul Kings early on, were likely already Soul Emperors by now, and they also possessed a martial soul fusion skill.

Su Yu, who had reached Soul Sect at the age of thirteen and could even challenge a rank seven Soul King despite his relatively low ring age, was no small threat.

Just these three were enough to make them take the situation seriously.

Especially Su Yu, who wasn't from the traditional Soul Master path of the Sun Moon Empire. His focus on Soul Mastery combined with the near invincibility of his Soul Guidance equipment made him particularly formidable.

The terrifying consumption capacity and many other factors put enormous pressure on Shrek.

"Don't worry, Elder Xuan. Shrek has never lacked geniuses."

Reaching Soul King before twenty isn't that difficult.

The real challenge lies in the resources.

"Wang Dong will join the Tang Sect team," the Titan, who had been silent with his eyes closed, spoke up.

His voice left no room for doubt.

Xuanzi and the others stiffened, and they did not oppose his words.

"Yes, I plan to have Ning Tian from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu from the White Tiger Duke's Manor, and Jiang Nannan join Tang Sect's team. Jiang Nannan will also join Tang Sect," Yan Shaozhe continued, picking up from the Titan's words, elaborating his plan.

"Xiaoya's spirit power is already at level forty-nine. I will help her break through to level fifty before the competition and personally lead the team. Then, with Beibei joining, the seven official main members of Tang Sect will be complete."

"Alright, is the team representing Shrek ready?"

With Tang Sect's already impressive lineup—Beibei, Wang Dong, and Jiang Nannan, three Soul Emperors—it was not something Shrek could always bring to the table, even in the past.

Jiang Nannan, in particular, was the most direct beneficiary of Shrek's resources. Her fourth soul skill, Invincible Golden Body, was Shrek's best countermeasure against the martial soul fusion skills of Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.

Of course, Wang Dong's strength shouldn't be underestimated either.

But with Jiang Nannan joining Tang Sect's team, how would Shrek's own team handle such a formidable martial soul fusion technique?
