Canghui's Strength

"So, for that Illusion Spirit Bone, should we kill him Shi Nian, or should we kill him, or should we kill him?" Lu Yuan gently stroked his chin with his right hand, muttering to himself.

Killing a Soul Sage who is an illusionary being is too easy for him; he can take care of it with just a few shots from the Golden Dragon Spear. As for why it's so easy, it's because his Double Pupils, Seed of Primordial Qi, and Qingqi Sutra all grant him immunity to illusions.

Shi Nian, they were completely powerless to fight back.

However, after careful consideration, Lu Yuan abandoned the idea.

"Forget it, no matter what, Shi Nian hasn't offended me. Killing someone for a Soul Bone isn't in my nature. There are plenty of Soul Bone suitable for Rongrong, and we'll definitely find one in the future. Besides, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is so rich, they can afford to produce a few Soul Bone."

Lu Yuan tapped his chin slightly, a thought flashing through his mind.

"However, my killing intent has indeed grown stronger over the past year. Is it the result of using the God-Slaying Spear that time? After the God- God-Slaying Spear unleashed its full power, did the killing intent from it merge into my own body?"

"Fortunately, although this killing intent is terrifying, I can completely control it. It seems that having high mental strength does have great benefits."

"If this killing intent is incorporated into one's own attacks, then during battle, it will undoubtedly be even more powerful, since this terrifying killing intent is something that ordinary people cannot withstand."

"It seems we can start working on creating the fourth spear technique."

Lu Yuan was deep in thought.

"My god, you guys are really lucky too. This Canghui Academy doesn't seem to be very strong. It looks like you can have an easy time in the first preliminary round." Just as Lu Yuan was deep in thought, Shui Yue'er's voice rang out again.

Shui Yue'er's voice immediately startled Lu Yuan from his reverie.

"Hehe, thanks to your kind words just now," Lu Yuan said with a faint smile.

"Hehe!" Upon hearing this, Shui Yue'er giggled, her eyes narrowing into crescent moons, making her incredibly cute.

Looking at Shui Yue'er's adorable smile, Lu Yuan shook his head with a smile, turned slightly, and the drawing of lots was already over.

"Alright, thank you for the draw by Platinum Bishop Salas of the Spirit Saint Hall. The first match of the preliminary round will be between the Skywater Academy and Heaven Dou Royal Academy. All other participating academies, please leave. The two academies that will be participating later, please prepare yourselves. The match will officially begin in a quarter of an hour." The master of ceremonies' voice rang out from the podium.

"I didn't expect it to be you guys in the first round, good luck!" Hearing the emcee's words, Lu Yuan smiled slightly and said to the Shui Yue'er sisters beside him.

"Yes, thank you," Shui Bing'er's voice rang out.

"Yes, yes, we will, my idol. Remember to watch our amazing performance later!" Shui Yue'er said with a smile.

"Heh, yes, then I wish you a great victory. We're leaving now." Nodding to the Shui Yue'er sisters, Lu Yuan looked at the other academy teams that were already leaving the field and said softly.

"Have a good day, my idol," Shui Yue'er's soft voice rang out.

"Hmm." Lu Yuan nodded slightly, then turned around and nodded to the people behind him. "Let's go."

As he spoke, he walked towards the rest area he had just come from, a place where many academy students rested after battles and waited to go into battle.

The rest area isn't far from the central competition area, but it's not very convenient to watch the game. From a distance, it's actually quite blurry for people with poor eyesight.

Of course, if you want to watch the game, you can go to the stands. There is a special area set aside for the participating teams. It can be said that the organizers of this competition have designed it quite reasonably.

I sat down in the original rest area. Skywater Academy's match was the first one, so their academy's match should be scheduled later.

Today is the opening ceremony, and the competition area is only the central square. Starting tomorrow, the competition will be held in four venues simultaneously, namely the four competition zones A, B, C, and D. This will greatly speed up the progress of the competition.

There are a total of 28 teams in the qualifiers, and every team will compete. That means Lu Yuan and his team will have to play 27 matches in the qualifiers alone.

Each team has to play one match every day.

After 27 matches, the rankings are determined by the number of wins; this is the rule for the preliminary rounds.

Judging from the rule of five consecutive days of competition followed by two days of rest, a single qualifying round can last for more than a month.

With the qualifying rounds and the finals added in, the entire competition will probably take more than three months to complete.

It might take even longer.

As expected of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, which only takes place once every five years, its scale is truly grand.

"Aren't you going to watch their match? They're going to show you their amazing performance." As Lu Yuan sat down, Zhu Zhuqing Lu Yuan, standing in front of him, crossed her arms, her cold face expressionless.

"There's no need. It's just the second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. They're all weaklings. They won't be able to force out much of the strength of the Skywater Academy. It's not worth watching. We'd rather prepare for our own competition." Lu Yuan shook his head and said calmly.

"Aren't you really going to go see? Skywater Academy has a lot of beautiful girls, all dressed in the same uniform. They're all cute, charming, and youthful. Isn't that what you men like to see?" Zhu Zhuqing said softly, looking at Lu Yuan with a strange expression.

Hearing this, Lu Yuan shook his head helplessly. He had only exchanged a few words with Shui Yue'er, and this little kitten was at it again.

"Alright, stop fooling around." Lu Yuan glanced at Zhu Zhuqing indifferently, his eyes carrying a hint of reproach.

"Oh." Seeing Lu Yuan's gaze, Zhu Zhuqing gave a light "oh," but she felt relieved. Lu Yuan's reaction meant that he really didn't have any such intentions.

"Alright, everyone come over here for a moment, I have something to say." Lu Yuan waved to the crowd and said softly.

Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, everyone gathered around, and Wang Qiu'er even ran to sit down next to Lu Yuan hugged his arm.

Smiling, Lu Yuan patted Wang Qiu'er's hand and then turned his gaze to the crowd.

"Our first opponent in the preliminary round is Canghui Academy. This academy isn't very strong. The only thing worth noting is their Seven-in-One Fusion Skill," Lu Yuan said calmly.

"Seven-in-One Fusion Skill?" Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, everyone's eyes showed a hint of surprise. Canghui Academy had such a trump card.

"Yes, the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill is Seven-in-One Fusion Skill composed of seven Gem Spirit. It is an illusion-type Soul Skill. Its destructive power is not strong, but it is somewhat strange. People with weak mental strength are easily affected."

Here are the first two chapters. There will be another chapter around 5 PM. This will be the sixth update today!
