The Agreed-Upon Duel, Blazing Fire Academy
After much effort, Lu Yuan finally upgraded Qian Renxue's Sacred Sword from level six to level seven.
Qian Renxue's Sacred Sword was made with the best materials, and it also contained a piece of Soul Bone. After the upgrade, the Sacred Sword's grade directly rose to the seventh-level high grade, which was better than Wang Qiu'er's Crimson Flame Spear and Zhu Zhuqing's Qingyuan Sword.
After the upgrade, the Sacred Sword's Sacred Power, Light Power, and fire power became even stronger, making Qian Renxue absolutely enamored with it. She even offered her cherry lips and gave Lu Yuan a deep kiss.
In fact, Qian Renxue had always felt that the Sacred Sword was not enough. Her current strength had reached the level of a Soul Emperor of level 67. In addition, her Martial Soul was Eight-Winged Angel, which was a powerful Martial Soul that surpassed the scope of ordinary god-level Martial Soul. When she used it at full strength, Qian Renxue's strength could reach the threshold of Soul Douluo.
Under such circumstances, although the Sacred Sword at the peak of level six can enhance her combat power, the enhancement will not be significant, and its effect will be limited.
However, things changed when she upgraded to Level 7 Soul Guidance Device. It became much more convenient to use and its power increased significantly. With Level 7 Soul Guidance Device- level Sacred Sword in hand, Qian Renxue could even take on Soul Douluo single-handedly. Her strength increased by more than just a little bit.
As mentioned earlier, many exceptionally talented Soul Master can defeat ordinary Titled Douluo in a one-on-one battle against Soul Sage, but that's because of the power boost from their Martial Soul Avatar.
After all, the more powerful Martial Soul is, the greater its power in its Martial Soul Avatar. Under such circumstances, it is understandable that it can fight against ordinary titled martial souls.
However, being able to fight an ordinary titled Soul Sage does not mean that a Soul Emperor can fight Soul Douluo; these are completely different concepts.
If those who can achieve the former are considered top geniuses, then those who can achieve the latter are all prodigies. Such monstrous achievements generally only exist in protagonists or overpowered characters.
For example, Lu Da Guabi, or Tang San in the original novel.
The fact that Qian Renxue can now do this shows that Qian Renxue is gradually joining the ranks of prodigies.
Although she's not the main character, she's the girlfriend of the cheater, so she's comparable to a typical main character.
It has to be said that the cheater is really powerful. In the battle between the protagonist and the cheater, the cheater ultimately prevailed.
After upgrading Qian Renxue's Sacred Sword and spending some time with her, Lu Yuan returned to his Dragon King Hall. After all, he had just finalized a cooperation agreement with Xue Ye, so there were some things he needed to arrange properly.
Meanwhile, another week passed in Lu Yuan's busy schedule.
During this week, the Heavenly Star Squad was undefeated. Since no academy challenged them, all their opponents forfeited for five consecutive days. They easily secured five more wins without any effort.
With these five wins, the Heavenly Star Academy Team has now achieved a 20-game winning streak.
That means there will be a maximum of seven more matches before the qualifiers end.
However, upon closer examination of the remaining opponents, the only one that seems worthy of consideration is Blazing Fire Academy.
The Skywater Academy Team has already encountered them, and it happened this Wednesday.
This day was supposed to be a match between the Skywater Academy and Heavenly Star Academy, but Skywater Academy forfeited.
Therefore, of the remaining seven matches, it is very likely that only the match between the Blazing Fire Academy will remain, and the other academies will probably choose to forfeit.
The match against the Blazing Fire Academy happens to be tomorrow, Monday morning, the first match. After this match, the qualifiers can basically be said goodbye.
"Tomorrow's opponent is Blazing Fire Academy, right?" In the Dragon King Hall, Zhu Zhuqing looked at Lu Yuan and asked softly.
"Yes, it is indeed Blazing Fire Academy," Lu Yuan hummed in agreement and said softly.
"Do you need me to play tomorrow?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.
"No need, I can play by myself tomorrow," Lu Yuan said.
"Oh!" Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing nodded gently, appearing very obedient.
"Sigh!" Lu Yuan sighed, then gently pulled Zhu Zhuqing into his arms, his chin resting lightly on Zhu Zhuqing's forehead.
"Zhu Qing, there's something I need to tell you." Lu Yuan gently stroked Zhu Zhuqing's soft, long hair and said in a gentle voice.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Zhuqing asked softly, enjoying the warmth of Lu Yuan's embrace.
"I've discovered Dai Mubai's whereabouts. He's currently at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy with Tang San and Yu Tianheng. All three of them are looking for trouble with me," Lu Yuan said with a slight smile.
"Oh!" Zhu Zhuqing said "oh," and then there was no further response.
"What, aren't you interested?" Lu Yuan asked.
"I'm not interested. I've long since broken up with him. I'm yours now, and I'll only ever be yours. As for other men, I don't care." Zhu Zhuqing shook her head and said earnestly.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan paused slightly as he stroked Zhu Zhuqing's long hair. A warmth spread through his heart, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
"However," Zhu Zhuqing's voice rang out again.
"But what?" Lu Yuan asked.
"But since they've come looking for trouble with you, they must have some kind of backing or some trump card they've prepared to deal with you. Be careful and don't get hurt," Zhu Zhuqing said.
"I'll be fine, don't worry. But they might die after this competition, especially Dai Mubai. I won't let him get away with this again. He was fast back at the Shrek Academy, but this time, he's definitely going to die."
"Besides, he's dead, so your engagement is naturally off. After the competition, I'll accompany you home to meet your mother. She's probably the only family member you still care about. We'll tell her about us and ask for her blessing. Zhu Qing, what do you think?" Lu Yuan asked.
"Okay." Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, tears welled up in Zhu Zhuqing's clear eyes. She was deeply moved and delighted by Lu Yuan's thoughtful consideration for her.
"Then it's settled." Lu Yuan said with a soft laugh.
"Mmm." Zhu Zhuqing nodded gently, then tightened her arms around Lu Yuan even more.
Feeling the tightness in his waist, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile slightly, and the hand around Zhu Zhuqing's waist tightened a little.
The next day had arrived in the blink of an eye!
As the sun rose higher, around eight o'clock in the morning, Lu Yuan and the others had already gathered in A Division.
Today's match is between the Heavenly Star Academy Team and the Blazing Fire Academy Team, so the popularity is exceptionally high.
The Heavenly Star Academy Team hasn't played in eight or nine rounds of matches, and the audience is eagerly anticipating seeing their brilliant performance again.
So as soon as Lu Yuan and the others entered the venue, a deafening cheer erupted from the audience.
