Chapter 74: First Encounter with Shrek
"Pidgeot, this is it."
Thousands of meters above Tiandou City, Mo Hui looked at the rich wind attribute elements around him and nodded with satisfaction.
Except for being a little cold and the oxygen being a little thinner, the efficiency of cultivation here was not much inferior to the core area of Hurricane Canyon.
"Beep~"
Upon hearing this, Pidgeot immediately stopped flying upward and hovered in place with Mo Hui on its back.
On Pidgeot's back, Mo Hui sat cross-legged, practicing Pidgeot's meditation method and began today's cultivation.
Fierce gales blew toward Mo Hui and Pidgeot, but they were all blocked by the Wind-Fixing Pearl and turned into strands of pure wind attribute elements, which were absorbed and refined by Mo Hui.
Pidgeot was a thoroughly top-level martial soul, and the meditation method it came with was far more powerful than the standard Pidgeot Meditation Method. The reason why Mo Hui was able to break through to the fifty-fourth level in just half a year after reaching Soul King, in addition to the 20,000-year-old Wind Chasing Eagle King, was largely due to the improvement brought by this meditation method.
Time passed slowly, and the soul power in Mo Hui's body also steadily increased.
After an unknown amount of time, a red sun appeared in the sky, and Mo Hui opened his eyes from meditation.
"It's almost time."
Today was the opening ceremony of the Elite Competition of the Advanced Soul Master Academy of the Continent. As the captain of the Kamikaze Team, he naturally had to participate.
Thinking of this, Mo Hui patted the Pidgeot under him, and Pidgeot immediately understood. Then, it turned into a green light and swooped down.
Pidgeot's speed was incredibly fast—especially when diving. In just a few seconds, Mo Hui had arrived at the courtyard of Kamikaze Academy.
By all logic, with such a huge movement, even if Pidgeot was fast, the high-level soul masters in Tiandou City should have sensed something. However, due to Mo Hui's state of unity with nature, he had essentially merged with the world. Everyone in Tiandou City ignored his presence.
It could be said that if Mo Hui were to become an assassin now, he would definitely be among the world's best. Even a Titled Douluo would have difficulty detecting him without specifically focusing their mental strength, due to this deep connection with nature.
However, this top-tier assassin skill wasn't something Mo Hui had intentionally pursued—it was just a passive benefit he'd acquired after comprehending the world to a certain extent.

"Mo Hui, it's time for us to set off."
Feng Qingcang appeared outside Mo Hui's door and shouted shortly after he returned to his room.
"Yes, right away!"
After saying that, Mo Hui quickly washed his face with cold water.
After a while, Mo Hui walked out of the room, then followed Feng Qingcang along with the other students and teachers as they headed to the competition venue: the Tiandou Grand Fighting Soul Arena.
To meet the requirements of this preliminaries, the Tiandou Grand Fighting Soul Arena had undergone a special transformation. Now, it could accommodate 80,000 spectators simultaneously. With VIP seats and player areas added, the scale was truly massive.
Soon, Mo Hui and the others arrived at the rest area prepared for participants inside the arena. This area had thousands of seats and was divided based on function, allowing players to choose according to their needs.
The Kamikaze Academy had not arrived particularly early. When Mo Hui and the others entered the rest area, they saw many other academies preparing and chatting—including Tianshui Academy and Chihuo Academy of the Five Elements Academies.
As soon as Feng Xiaotian entered the rest area, he spotted Huo Wu with the people from Chihuo Academy. His eyes lit up immediately, and he was about to approach.
However, Feng Qingcang grabbed him and asked, a little displeased, "Xiaotian, the opening ceremony is about to begin. Where are you going?"
"The five elemental academies are of the same blood. I'm going to exchange feelings with the contestants from the other four elemental academies."
Feng Xiaotian's eyes rolled as he replied righteously.
Hearing this, Feng Qingcang laughed in exasperation and said, "Exchange feelings? I think you're just lusting after that girl. Shameless!"
Feng Xiaotian's eyes widened, and he said innocently, "Dean, how can you slander someone's innocence like this? My sister Huo Wu and I have a pure love…"
He then launched into things like "Love isn't about the body" and "I'm sincere toward Huo Wu," which made everyone from Kamikaze Academy burst into laughter. The atmosphere lightened with joy.
In the end, though, Feng Xiaotian still couldn't find his beloved Huo Wu—Feng Qingcang didn't allow him to wander off and disturb others at such a crucial time.
Mo Hui looked on indifferently, paying no attention to the commotion. Feng Xiaotian's simping nature wasn't something that could be changed. Still, this was the Douluo Continent—not as outrageous as his past life's world—so in the end, Feng Xiaotian really did "lick" his way into a relationship with his goddess.

"Pfft~"
At that moment, a student nearby couldn't help but let out a laugh. Everyone around looked at him in surprise, but he simply pointed at the entrance.
Everyone turned their gaze to where he pointed—only to see a dozen people wearing shit-green uniforms that had "Sincerely Recruiting Sponsors" written on them walking in.
Seeing this, both the students and teachers of Kamikaze Academy were stunned. If not for their good self-control, they would've burst into laughter the moment they saw this scene.
Mo Hui, of course, knew who these people were. But even he couldn't help chuckling when he saw the Shrek team in person.
Originally, with Mo Hui's upbringing, he wouldn't laugh at someone else's outfit—but Flender's taste was just too much. The weird colors and inexplicable wording… If he were one of the Shrek people, he would have wanted to dig a hole and crawl inside.
The students of Kamikaze Academy had relatively high self-restraint, but some with lower control had already laughed out loud, causing the expressions of the Shrek team to turn even uglier.
Still, no one paid too much attention to Shrek Academy. They just laughed when the team entered, and then, under their teachers' guidance, they all closed their eyes and rested, awaiting the start of the opening ceremony.
Meanwhile, the teachers headed to complete the final registration. Once personnel were confirmed, no further changes could be made.

At the same time, Mo Hui was also curiously observing the Shrek team. He could spot Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Dai Mubai among them. As for the handsome boy and the fat one who looked like a ball, they were probably Oscar and Ma Hongjun.
"Huh? Something seems off…"
Mo Hui suddenly noticed that there was no sign of Ning Rongrong in the Shrek lineup. She had been replaced by another unfamiliar soul master.
Could this be the butterfly effect of his arrival, causing Ning Rongrong not to join Shrek?
---
After a while, Flender walked in and saw the Shrek team huddled in a corner. He couldn't help asking, "Huh? Why are you hiding here?"
He was met with the angry glares of Tang San and the others. Realizing something, Flender coughed awkwardly and said, "The registration has been completed. You all need to stay alert—after all, you're the team aiming for the championship."
"Champion? Are you worthy of it?"
Just then, in a classic return to the main plotline, Canghui Academy suddenly jumped out and began mocking Shrek.
