First Round of the Round Robin Tournament

"Captain, how should we attack?"

Xie Xie asked Long Yuan, "The upcoming matches are getting increasingly difficult."

Everyone was a little nervous.

"Just adapt to the situation and proceed according to the battle plan!"

Long Yuan said in a deep voice, encouraging everyone:

"Don't be afraid, we will definitely win!"

Afterwards, the group entered the competition venue.

The opponent has already been standing on the other side for a long time.

Duan Xuan Old Duan, after being indirectly rejected by Long Yuan and blocked by Cen Yue, arrived at the No. Box Three on the top floor behind the competition stage.

The few people who were following him stayed outside.

"Teacher!"

There was only one middle-aged man in the private room. Upon seeing Duan Xuan, he bowed respectfully to him.

"Mu Chen, you have a good eye. He's a very good kid, just like when I first discovered you, he rejected me!"

Duan Xuan walked to Mu Chen's side and looked at the competition stage through the glass window.

From here, you can clearly see the entire competition area.

"Teacher, Long Yuan's talent is even better than mine back then. I think he will be able to pass the Fifth-Level Forging Master assessment after we go back this time."

Tang Wulin is quite good too. He's also ten years old. He'll definitely pass the Fourth-Level Forging Master exam when he goes back this time!

Mu Chen smiled brightly.

Besides his two disciples, his daughter is also very talented. She should be able to pass the Third-Level Forging Master assessment when she returns this time.

A fourteen-year-old Third-Level Forging Master is a rare find in the entire blacksmithing world.

"Indeed, I've read both of their works. What a pity!"

Duan Xuan sighed; it had all been snatched away by this kid in front of him.

He had already shamelessly tried to steal his apprentice's apprentice by using underhanded methods, but he was still rejected.

Now, he can't say anything, he can only be envious.

"I really need to consider poaching them!"

Duan Xuan glanced at Mu Chen, then at Long Yuan and Tang Wulin, and said.

"Alright, I understand what you're thinking. Once I've trained them and they've taken over my job, I'll take over yours!"

Mu Chen naturally understood his teacher's thoughts and had already mentioned that matter to him.

Duan Xuan sighed and said:

"Once these little guys grow up, it should be time for us to turn the tables. At that time, we won't have to be suppressed by their faction anymore."

You need to work even harder, kid. If you can become Divine Craftsman, our support will increase significantly.

Mu Chen naturally understood his teacher's meaning, but it was extremely difficult to break through to the level of Divine Craftsman.

"Round 1 of the Round Robin Tournament, Tianhai Academy Second Team vs. Eastsea Academy, the match begins!"

Just as the two were talking, the host on the competition stage announced the start of the competition.

As soon as they finished speaking, both sides quickly released their Martial Soul.

Bi Ran, the captain of the Tianhai Academy, raised his right hand, and gray light surged on it. As the Soul Ring rose from his feet, a shield appeared in front of him.

He has three Soul Rings, all of them yellow and Hundred-Year Soul Ring, indicating he is a Three Rings Soul Elder.

His teammates also quickly released their respective Martial Soul and Soul Ring, all of them having two Yellow Soul Rings.

The team consists of five members: one with Three Rings and four with two rings.

Upon seeing this, Long Yuan and the others frowned.

So far, of the five people on their side, only Long Yuan, Gu Yue, and Xie Xie are two-ring Soul Master.

Tang Wulin and Xu Xiaoyan are still in the same ring.

In terms of strength, they are far inferior to their opponents.

However, none of them, who had already experienced many battles, were discouraged.

After releasing his Martial Soul, Bi Ran, the captain of the Skysea Academy Team, charged towards Long Yuan with a shield about one meter high and half a meter wide in his hand.

The other team members followed closely behind.

The five members of Long Yuan maintained their formation. Xie Xie released the Light Dragon Dagger, and in a flash, he circled around to the side.

He is Agility Attack System Battle Spirit Master, suitable for quick battles.

At this moment, Long Yuan released his Yellow Dragon Martial Soul, and the Soul Spirit Water Dragon appeared on his shoulder.

Two purple Soul Ring were released.

Upon seeing the two purple Soul Ring, Bi Ran, the captain of the Eastsea Academy team, frowned. They were actually two Thousand-Year Soul Rings.

However, they were only slightly surprised; they were utterly no match for the Three Rings.

Long Yuan ignored Bi Ran's gaze, waved his hand, and once again unleashed his Water Element Control.

Long Yuan spoke to Xie Xie and the others, then waved his hand forward. The Water Curtain around his body quickly gathered into the void, and a ball of water appeared above his opponents.

With a loud bang, water poured down, soaking everyone on the other side.

"Fire at the right moment!"

Long Yuan said, and waved his arm again, instantly turning the Water Element into ice.

The five people opposite were quickly frozen in place.

Xie Xie and Tang Wulin rushed over quickly.

Xie Xie used the Light Dragon Dagger and swiftly attacked the two people behind Bi Ran.

Tang Wulin Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul to attack another person.

Gu Yue stood still and threw a fireball at another person.

Xu Xiaoyan provided support from behind, using the Star Wheel Ice Staff to unleash her First Soul Skill, Star Wheel Chains.

Using the Star Wheel as a guide, Bi Ran was immobilized; at the very least, he could be immobilized for one second.

This one second is enough.

Everyone made their moves at almost the same time.

After freezing everyone, Long Yuan set off and quickly rushed to Bi Ran's side.

Bang! Bi Ran, with his powerful Soul Power, just broke free from the icy restraints.

But at that moment, he was struck in the chest by Long Yuan's fist.

He was sent flying backward and crashed into the protective netting of the Soul Tool in the arena.

The others were also attacked by Tang Wulin and his group, and almost simultaneously retreated.

After a brief exchange, all five were simultaneously repelled.

However, since everyone has persevered until now, although they were at a disadvantage in this attack, they quickly got back on their feet.

The Tianhai Academy team quickly regained their formation and attacked Long Yuan and his group.

Wu Yuhan, Bi Ran behind Bi Ran to the left, had his First Soul Ring flash, and his slender body suddenly swelled up, becoming very strong.

It was surrounded by streaks of lightning and its entire body radiated a bluish-purple hue.

Its arms grew longer and thicker, with sharp claws protruding from the front.

This was caused by his Martial Soul, the Thunder Wolf Possession.

He rushed towards Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin reacted quickly, gripping the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand.

"Chaotic Cloak..."

Tang Wulin swiftly swung the Clear Sky Hammer, unleashing the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer that Tang Hao had imprinted in his mind.

Each blow was stronger than the last, relentlessly striking the opponent.

The other person, Lei Jun, was also surrounded by electric sparks—pure lightning, with bolts of lightning erupting outwards from his body.

Then it quickly condensed, forming a ball of lightning in front of him, and threw it towards Gu Yue.

Gu Yue reacted quickly, combining Fire Element Wind Element in her hands and unleashing a devastating attack on Lei Jun.

Both sides have locked onto their targets.

The other person had already Xie Xie in close combat.

The remaining strongest members, Bi Ran and another person, charged towards Long Yuan.

Xu Xiaoyan, standing behind Long Yuan, once again activated her Star Wheel Ice Staff Martial Soul to provide support.

Long Yuan waved his hand, and a fire dragon quickly appeared above his head, fiercely attacking Bi Ran.

At this moment, Xu Xiaoyan stopped Bi Ran once again.

The teamwork was so perfect that in the instant they were frozen in place, the fire dragon slammed into Bi Ran's chest.

With a loud bang!

Bi Ran was once again thrown away.

The other person was sent flying by a punch from Long Yuan.

Immediately, Long Yuan swiftly arrived beside Xie Xie and unleashed a punch.

The person who fought Xie Xie had his Martial Soul shattered and was sent flying again, spitting out a mouthful of blood in the void with a "poof".

"Stop!"

The referee's voice rang out just in time; if they hadn't called a stop, someone would have been killed.
