While Thunder Academy was on high alert, Spirit Hall Team remained calm.
Qian Renxue noticed the gazes directed at her, her expression serene, as if speaking of a trivial matter.
"I only have one request: don't delay my dinner time later."
"Yes!" Xie Yue and the others responded loudly, a mischievous smile on their faces.
Spirit Masters are naturally warlike, and genius Spirit Masters even more so; everyone was eager to secure an opening victory.
"Then I'll go first. The number one beast Spirit in the world, I've long wanted to challenge it." Yan rubbed his fists and spoke first, an eager expression on his face.
Seeing Yan's high fighting spirit, no one dampened his enthusiasm; they silently discussed the subsequent order of appearance.
"The arena has been prepared. Please, individual competitors from Spirit Hall and Thunder Academy, take the stage!" The referee's voice echoed through the spirit tool.
Yan and Yu Tianxin entered the arena simultaneously. Seeing his opponent, a flicker of excitement appeared in Yan's eyes; only by defeating this Blue Lightning Twin Star would it be more convincing.
"Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, the number one beast Spirit in the world? We'll see if I agree!" Yan said coldly, looking at Yu Tianxin.
"Then come and try!" Yu Tianxin, with the ancestral poker face of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, responded coldly after hearing Yan's words.
Their words were not hidden, and many in the audience heard their conversation, showing expressions of keen interest.
The debate over the 'number one in the world' has always been a hot topic in the Spirit Master's world.
Especially with the arrival of the Sun Moon Continent and Xu Yunxiao's performance in two public battles, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's position as the number one beast Spirit in the world was becoming precarious.
"Roar!"
Accompanied by a low roar, a dazzling blue light suddenly ignited from Yu Tianxin's brow, and streaks of blue-purple lightning burst out like small snakes, coiling around his body.
His two arms had completed their dragonification, with two yellow and two purple spirit rings swirling above them, and blue-purple lightning continuously condensed on his arms.
With a surge of electric snakes, Yu Tianxin let out a sharp cry, his body soaring into the air, pouncing directly at Yan.
"Hahaha, excellent!"
Seeing this, Yan burst into laughter, with two yellow, two purple, and one black spirit rings swirling around him, displaying a terrifying cultivation of fifty-eighth rank, making him the highest-ranked Spirit Master exposed so far in the Soul Master Competition.
Blazing dark-red flames suddenly erupted from his body, instantly tearing his upper clothing. Yan's muscles bulged like granite, and in just a moment, his body had expanded to over three meters.
Yan swung both fists, and he charged like a whirlwind, meeting Yu Tianxin's broad dragon claws.
"Bang!"
With a thunderous crash, Yu Tianxin was sent flying backward. Under the frontal impact, he was directly knocked back seven or eight meters by Yan.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's lightning, which had always been invincible, proved utterly ineffective against the terrifying defense of Yan's Flame Lord.
"Rage of the Thunder God!"
After being repelled, Yu Tianxin roared, activating his third Spirit Ability. Violent lightning crackled everywhere. In the blood of every direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, aggressive blood flowed.
Offense is the best defense; only offense can directly defeat an opponent.
"Are you the only one who can attack?" Yan sneered, seeing this, showing no intention of dodging. He activated his first and second Spirit Abilitys and charged directly forward.
"Boom!"
After a loud bang, Yu Tianxin lay on the ground, bruised and battered, while Yan, full of momentum, looked at Thunder Academy and said coldly, "Next!"
Soon, with the fall of Thunder Academy's last student, Spirit Hall Team achieved ultimate victory.
Moreover, their team battle was even quicker, directly pierced through by Hu Liena and Xie Yue's Martial Soul Fusion Technique.
This caused Yu Xiaogang's face to turn extremely grim. Even though he had been expelled from the sect, he was still proud of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon bloodline within him.
Seeing Thunder Academy being trampled by Spirit Hall like this filled him with a sense of shame.
The various teams that watched this match were stunned, alarm bells ringing in their hearts. They listed Spirit Hall as the ultimate boss of this Soul Master Competition, placing it on par with Sun Moon Royal Academy.
The first round of eliminations for the All-Continent Advanced Youth Spirit Master Elite Competition had been ongoing for seven days, with numerous matches unfolding vigorously each day.
Among them, Sun Moon Team left a deep impression on various academies.
The battles of Sun Moon Team could only be described as overwhelming; they easily defeated their seven opponents without even using their most proficient spirit tools, a complete one-sided crush.
Their spirit power levels all exceeded rank fifty, while many teams didn't even have a single Spirit King, making the outcome of their battles without suspense.
These battle reports, projected onto the large screen, naturally caused a stir among all the spectators in Mingdu, while the various teams clearly realized the terrifying power of Sun Moon Royal Academy.
"Sun Moon Team is too strong…"
"Seven Spirit Kings, I don't even know how they could lose. Even Spirit Hall might not be their match."
"Why even compete? Why not just award them the championship directly?"
"Are we just here to fight for second place?"
"Brother, how many dishes have you had to drink like this? You're competing with Spirit Hall for second place?"
"…"
Many people swallowed hard, feeling increasingly parched the more they thought about it.
And just today, Shrek Team drew the Sun Moon Royal Academy, which had already been dubbed a championship contender.
Regarding this result, some rejoiced while others worried. Shrek, on the other hand, couldn't be happy at all.
Initially, they fantasized about winning the championship, but reality had dealt them a harsh blow. They couldn't even overcome Tianshui Academy, let alone Sun Moon Team.
After the results came out, the atmosphere within the team was somewhat oppressive. Dai Mubai and the others looked glum, unable to force even a half-smile.
"Children, the Dean is already very happy that you've made it this far. For the next match, just do your best, no need to push yourselves too hard. Even if you lose, we won't blame you." Flender looked at the dispirited group and broke the silent atmosphere.
At this point, no words of encouragement could really boost morale, because no matter how much they were encouraged, it wouldn't change the enormous gap between them.
"How about we just surrender? There's no chance of winning anyway." Upon Flender's words, Ma Hongjun immediately said with a grin.
"You brat, I told you not to feel burdened, not to be afraid to face a powerful enemy." Flender angrily patted Ma Hongjun's head, his eyes full of disdain. Could this disciple be returned?
However, it must be said that after Ma Hongjun's antics, the atmosphere within the team lightened considerably.
"If we follow my plan, we might just be able to achieve an upset…" At this moment, Yu Xiaogang stepped forward and slowly said.
