"Your Highness, the results for the Tiandou District preliminaries are out."
"Oh~~~ Who are the top five?"
In the Sun Moon Empire, under a thousand-year Soul Nurturing Tree in the Crown Prince Residence's courtyard, Xu Tianyang heard Huang Xiuwen's words, removed the book covering his face, and asked curiously.
"First place is Tianshui Academy. Their captain, Shui Bing'er, for some unknown reason, advanced to become a peak Ice Spirit. She swept through the competition, undefeated."
At this point, Huang Xiuwen still had some doubts. He knew Shui Bing'er; they had dealt with each other during academy exchanges. Although she was powerful, he was confident he could defeat her.
However, this Shui Bing'er with a peak Ice Spirit, he felt a bit uncertain about.
"Bing'er advancing to a peak Ice Spirit means that unless a Spirit Saint intervenes, it will be difficult to suppress her. It's not surprising that she won the championship," Xu Tianyang said casually with a smile in his eyes, waving his hand.
However, Huang Xiuwen's heart trembled. He looked at Xu Tianyang with surprise, as if he understood something, and lowered his head. As a subject, these were not matters he should be concerned with.
"What are you thinking?!" But Xu Tianyang's spiritual realm was so profound that Huang Xiuwen's every move was within his grasp. Seeing the other party act as if he hadn't heard, the book on the nine-level spirit tool array in Xu Tianyang's hand flew out and accurately hit the other party's head.
"Shui Bing'er and Shuang'er have a Martial Soul Fusion Technique, and the Shui family has close ties with my maternal grandfather's family. They are already considered people of the Empire."
"So that's how it is!" Huang Xiuwen's face showed a look of sudden realization, but he couldn't help but grumble inwardly.
My Crown Prince, we already know you. Why would you go to such great lengths to help someone with ordinary connections advance to a peak Ice Spirit? Moreover, Shui Bing'er also has a Martial Soul Fusion Technique with the Crown Prince Consort. Isn't this like meat on a chopping block, with no escape?
"Continue..." Xu Tianyang waved his hand, and the book that had just been thrown returned to his hand. He lay down and said.
"Second is Shenfeng Academy. Their captain, Feng Xiaotian, is a Spirit King, and all their members possess the ability to fly. By occupying the high ground, they launch spirit tools downwards, which is very powerful. This is also why Shenfeng Academy defeated Shrek Academy, which has two Spirit Kings..."
"Third is Shrek Academy. What needs attention are the two Clear Sky Sect disciples in the team, both of whom are Spirit King cultivators, and their captain, Tang San..."
Xu Tianyang nodded, not surprised. Although the talents of various forces had improved after the Sun Moon Empire's medicinal pill baptism, there had been no qualitative changes.
Among the Five Great Element Academies, only Shui Bing'er and Feng Xiaotian had broken through to Spirit King.
The Tianshui Team was strong because of Shui Bing'er's peak Ice Spirit; a peak Spirit is invincible at the same level. Shenfeng Academy naturally occupied the high ground. Before one could fly, having air superiority would create a dimensionality reduction strike.
Xu Tianyang had long expected these two teams to defeat Shrek Academy.
"Fourth is Thunder Academy..."
"Fifth is Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School..."
"Blazing Fire and Elephant Armor Academies are out?" Hearing unfamiliar names, a hint of surprise finally appeared in Xu Tianyang's eyes.
"Interesting. I just don't know if Blazing Fire and Shenfeng will merge this time," Xu Tianyang murmured with interest. As for stopping them?
He was too lazy to bother with such harmless trivial matters.
Finding loopholes in the rules is also a skill.
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School actually surprised me. Can they gather suitable prodigies?"
"They..." Hearing Xu Tianyang's question, Huang Xiuwen looked at the intelligence in his hand and a recording spirit tool. He was silent for a moment, unsure how to answer.
Seeing this, Xu Tianyang reached out and took the recording spirit tool from Huang Xiuwen's hand. Looking at the scene inside, he couldn't help but feel a bit speechless.
The hard power of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was not strong; they only had four Spirit Ancestors, with the remaining three being Spirit Elders.
But they had their own way of fighting, which was to spend money... 'If skills aren't enough, numbers will do!'
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School inhumanely equipped their team members with a complete set of five-level spirit tools, covering all angles. It could be said that every one of their attacks involved scattering a large amount of money.
Relying on this 'money ability,' the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School won all the way to fifth place.
"Have the members of the Sun Moon Team been decided?"
After glancing at the results, Xu Tianyang no longer paid attention to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's situation. He turned to Huang Xiuwen and asked softly.
The selection for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy team was extremely fierce. Since Xu Nianshuang was not participating, Xu Tianyang was pending.
Yang Yiyi, Huang Xiuwen, Zui Hongchen, Ning Linglong, and Dugu Yan were already confirmed. With three substitute spots, there were actually only five spots for the thousands of students to compete for.
Furthermore, they needed to have broken through within this year, as only those who broke through within a year would be arranged to obtain a soul spirit.
But even with such harsh conditions, the competition was still exceptionally fierce, only entering the final stage yesterday.
"The selection has been completed..." Huang Xiuwen nodded, stepped forward, and handed Xu Tianyang a list of personnel.
Li An: twenty-three years old, Spirit Blazing Fire Spear, five-level Soul Engineer.
Lin Bufan: twenty-three years old, Spirit Shadow Wolf, five-level Soul Engineer.
Yun Shuying: twenty-four years old, Spirit Scepter of Life, healing-type Spirit King, five-level Soul Engineer.
Li Yiwei: twenty-three years old, Spirit Azure Shadow Divine Wind Eagle, five-level Soul Engineer.
Lin Ze: twenty-three years old, Spirit Profound Armor Shield, five-level Soul Engineer.
All of them were five-level Soul Engineers, which was normal. Without such strength, they wouldn't be able to compete with those guys from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy.
"Let's do it this way. If no Spirit Saint appears, I won't participate. I'll leave it to you all," Xu Tianyang merely glanced at the list, left an impression, then waved his hand and said casually.
All of them were Spirit Kings, five-level Soul Engineers, and with the help of soul spirits, these people could basically be considered Spirit Emperors. A team composed of seven Spirit Emperors, unless a Spirit Saint intervened, and it had to be a very powerful Spirit Saint, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to stop the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy team.
"Yes!"
After Huang Xiuwen left, the beautiful figure of the Snow Empress appeared beside Xu Tianyang.
"She hasn't left yet?"
Listening to the Snow Empress's cold yet cautious voice beside him, Xu Tianyang chuckled, "She has already left. I don't know where she ran off to. Elder Yi and I can't sense her aura anymore."
"She's still your Spirit Beast co-lord, why are you so nervous?"
"The Spirit Beasts of the Far North only believe in the Ice God!" The Snow Empress rolled her beautiful eyes at Xu Tianyang and said lightly.
"Speaking of which, what kind of God is the Ice God? A human God or a former Spirit Beast who became a God? Could it be the Water Dragon King beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?" Xu Tianyang asked curiously, looking at the Snow Empress. The Ice God of the God Realm had never appeared. Among the Seven Great Elemental Gods, there was indeed a Water God, and also the former Water Dragon King.
