Chapter 26: Drumstick Douluo and the Third Contracted Soul Beast
Ma Xiaotao smiled slightly. "Do you need me to call a referee for you?"
The inner court's soul duels usually didn't have referees, as there were always powerful support- or healing-type soul masters among the spectators. Minor injuries were quickly dealt with by them.
At this moment, Ma Xiaotao's words were not meant to provoke Zhou Sichen, but he didn't know that.
Zhou Sichen smirked. "Perhaps senior should recover her soul power first?"
"Heh!" Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but sneer. "You really are arrogant. Since you agreed to this duel, let me teach you the rules of the inner court."
Just then, several figures slowly entered the training hall. The moment the onlookers noticed them, everyone immediately stood up and greeted them with great respect.
The newcomers were: Martial Soul Department Dean Yan Shaozhe, Vice Dean Cai Mei'er, Soul Tool Department Dean Xian Lin'er, and Vice Dean Qian Duoduo.
These four were highly influential figures in Shrek Academy. It was rare for them to appear together, yet at this moment, they were walking behind an elderly man—dressed in shabby clothes, holding a chicken drumstick in one hand and a wine gourd in the other.
The old man leisurely stepped onto the high platform in the training hall, with Yan Shaozhe and the others following closely behind.
As they walked, Yan Shaozhe's gentle voice rang out, "Everyone, just carry on as usual."
Then, he turned his gaze toward Ma Xiaotao and Zhou Sichen. "Xiaotao, take good care of your junior."
