"Amazing." Bibi Dong uttered these words after a long period of contemplation.
"It's truly amazing that an ordinary person could awaken such a martial soul. It can't even be described as defying the heavens." Rakshasa God couldn't understand why this was happening.
She also observed Xiao Ze. Why would someone who was clearly an ordinary person act like this?
I don't understand, I really don't understand.
"If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it anymore. Anyway, he's in the Spirit Hall right now," Bibi Dong said.
"Too."
After Yu Yuanzhen left the Spirit Hall.
He glanced at Yu Xiaogang from afar, then turned and left.
His face turned ashen; he had truly humiliated himself today.
Bibi Dong didn't give her any face at all.
It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but he simply had no other choice.
We can't really go against the Spirit Hall; the difference in strength is too great, and we wouldn't stand a chance.
well...
A few days later.
The finals are about to begin.
There are a total of 33 teams in the finals.
The finals consist of five rounds of matches.
In the first round, the three seeded teams received a bye, while the remaining thirty teams competed for fifteen spots to advance.
In such a brutal elimination tournament, all teams will fight extremely hard, because if they lose, they will have no chance.
The top-ranked academy from each of the two major empire regions will receive a bye in the second round of qualifying matches.
The final sixteen teams began competing for qualification for the later stages of the competition.
Ultimately, only three teams can advance to the final match.
The three teams will first compete in a qualifying round, with each team sending out seven players for elimination to determine the team with the strongest individual skills.
Then the two losing teams will have a team battle, and the winner will challenge the winner of the previous individual competition to determine the final champion.
"Fire Dance, are you sure you don't want to go to the Blazing Fire Academy competition today?" Xiao Ze asked.
"I'm not going. Blazing Academy can't possibly go all the way anyway, so I might as well save my energy to compete with you guys for the championship," Huo Wu said.
"Isn't your father angry?"
"What's there to be angry about? When I win the championship and return to the academy, it will be a good thing for the whole academy." Huo Wu shook her head.
"That's true." Xiao Ze nodded. The champion of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition is a very prestigious title.
They can be said to be the strongest group under the age of 25, referring to students, of course.
If Blazing Academy had this honor, its future enrollment would be much better, and all fire-attribute soul masters might go to Blazing Academy.
"Your Tianshui Academy needs to step up your game," Huo Wu said.
"Don't worry, we can beat anyone except the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and the Martial Soul Academy." Shui Yue'er said confidently.
"Actually, the Star Luo Royal Academy is also quite powerful. Their Davis and Zhu Zhuyun have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill," Zhu Zhuqing reminded her.
Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er asked, "Sister Zhuqing, is Zhu Zhuyun your sister?"
"Yes. As you know, the selection process for the Star Luo Empire's royal family and the Zhu family is extremely brutal. I'm a few years younger than Zhu Zhuyun, so I'm no match for him. Dai Mubai was the same way; he escaped. I came to find him, but..."
Zhu Zhuqing didn't say anything more, but everyone understood.
Dai Mubai has given up on himself and still hasn't reached the Soul Master level; he's practically a waste.
"Davis and Zhu Zhuyun are both Soul Masters. Even if their Martial Soul Fusion Skill isn't as powerful as yours, it's hard to say."
"Understood, we will be careful." Shui Bing'er nodded.
"Um."
The group quickly arrived at the competition venue.
Each college here has its own rest area.
The rest area is built around the site and also offers a view of the Papal Palace.
"Uh... who from Tianshui Academy will draw lots?" Ning Rongrong asked.
"Don't worry, the dean of Tianshui Academy is here and has gone to draw lots," Xiao Ze said.
"Oh, Dean Shui Yiyao is here. She usually doesn't leave Tianshui Academy." Ning Rongrong was a little surprised.
"Auntie, you know we're pretty strong. While we might not be able to win the championship or runner-up, we can definitely compete for third place."
"If we can get third place, it will be a record-breaking achievement, which is very important for Tianshui Academy, so Auntie came," Shui Bing'er said.
Soon Shui Yiyao came over.
She still possesses the same charm.
Upon seeing Xiao Ze, Shui Yiyao recalled her encounter with him long ago.
That time was like opening Pandora's box for her.
It made her yearn for beautiful love.
If Xiao Ze knew what Shui Yiyao was thinking, he would know that she was just suppressing her feelings.
"Auntie, who is our opponent?" Shuiyue asked.
"Blazing Fire Academy." Shui Yiyao looked at Huo Wu.
"Huh?" Huo Wu was taken aback. "Are you guys really that lucky?"
"You're really lucky; your Blazing Fire Academy surrendered immediately," Shui Yiyao said with a smile.
Huo Wu nodded: "That's normal. Without me, Blazing Academy's strength will be greatly reduced. There's no point in participating. It's better to surrender and just consider it a visit. That way, we won't get hurt."
"Yes, no wonder the people from Blazing Fire Academy took their teachers around Spirit City for two days, eating and drinking," Shui Yiyao said.
Huo Wu felt a little awkward; they were really relaxed.
Everyone at Blazing Academy possesses a fire-attribute martial soul, which can easily influence a soul master's personality.
Most people are impulsive, hot-tempered, and careless.
But it doesn't mean they're brainless.
"That's good too. Your Tianshui Academy can take a full two rounds of rest," Xiao Ze said.
"That's right, we don't need to compete in the first and second rounds. Let's start directly from the third round."
"She's already in the top ten. That was easy." Dugu Yan stretched.
The finals began soon.
There wasn't the same grand spectacle as the qualifiers.
It was very simple. A cardinal from the Spirit Hall announced the start of the competition, and the competition began immediately.
Neither side was strong in the first round.
"Tsk... This finals, people who don't know better would think the one in Tiandou City is the real finals, it's too easy," Huo Wu complained.
"It's simple, but it also fosters growth. The people watching here are all Soul Masters, and Soul Masters don't need to engage in this kind of messy behavior. They prefer to just start fighting." Xiao Ze said, grabbing Ning Rongrong's mischievous little hand in his.
Ning Rongrong stuck out her little pink tongue and leaned against him.
Seeing Xiao Ze and Ning Rongrong getting along so sweetly, Shui Yiyao couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
She didn't know what was wrong with her or why she was experiencing these emotions.
Could it be... that she really has fallen for Xiao Ze?
That's impossible! I've only met him a few times.
Although Xiao Ze is very outstanding, their age difference is too great, it's impossible.
But... Liu Erlong...
Shui Yiyao felt her mind was in complete chaos.
