Intimidation

Xue Ye only came to his senses at this moment, and it seemed that Zhou Qing below had taken control of the situation.

In terms of momentum—

Although he was seated in the VIP section, he was at a disadvantage and lost to a nine-year-old child.

[Why?]

For some reason, Xue Ye felt a sense of vigilance, because he found that his heart had been trembling ever since Zhou Qing unleashed that peculiar Qi Field Power.

Even though the Mind-Sense Qi Field dissipated after it reached the audience, the breeze still made the emperor instinctively feel uneasy.

[Qinghe's words are true! This man's spirit is unparalleled throughout history!]

But should the event continue?

Xue Ye made his decision, and his eyes sharpened slightly.

Meanwhile, Zhou Qing continued to spout wild words, saying, "If we win, just give us a spot in the Preliminary Competition. If we lose, we will withdraw from this grand event. I hope Your Majesty will grant that request. Otherwise, we will continue to participate in the Preliminary Competition according to the normal rules. Alternatively, all members of the Advanced Academy may be prohibited from using their Self-Created Soul Skill."

"Isn't this ridiculous?"

Huyan Zhen's face darkened.

An unexpected disaster.

It's one thing for Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi, and Salas to team up against him, but that kid below also saw through this and wants to cause trouble for him, right?

Furthermore, what kind of thing is it for the Sect Leader of the Elephant Armored Sect to personally go down into battle against a bunch of little kids?

If we win, it's only right and proper, and we might even be accused of bullying the weak.

We lost...

Absolutely impossible!

But what if?

He'll lose face big time then! What will the other Lower Four Sects Sect Leader think of him? How will the Upper Three Sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, ridicule him?

To Huyan Zhen's surprise, Salas let out a strange laugh and said, "This is the first time since the start of the Continental Elite Tournament. It's quite interesting. Sect Master Hu Yan, why don't you agree and go down to the arena to play with them?"

"I think it's feasible."

When Xue Ye saw that Salas had spoken, he unusually agreed, wanting to use Huyan Zhen to dampen Zhou Qing's arrogance.

Moreover—

The Nuoding Team's Self-Created Soul Skill are indeed a bit unreasonable.

The Continental Elite Tournament is an event for the Two Great Empires, the Spirit Hall, to select talents. Xue Ye can't control the Star Luo Empire and the Spirit Hall, but when Zhou Qing's Mind-Sense Qi Field is released, everyone in the other teams is stunned... What's the point of him selecting anyone then!

Admittedly, those members who are still standing are indeed talented, but is that many enough?

The Continental Elite Tournament is held only once every five years!

Moreover, Xue Ye suspected that repeatedly being subjected to Zhou Qing's Mind-Sense Qi Field would greatly affect the beliefs of the members of the various Advanced Academy teams, causing their combat strength and combat status to decline severely, and they might even lose their courage at the first moment when facing Zhou Qing's team.

This is absolutely unacceptable!

Seeing that the two had spoken, Ning Fengzhi could only agree, but he offered his own suggestion. "In that case, we must restrict Sect Master Hu Yan from using Soul Skill."

Now, Huyan Zhen's face turned completely dark.

[Damn it! When did you guys become so close? Before, Salas was siding with Xue Ye, and now it's the other way around... Anyone who didn't know better would think that Heaven Dou and the Spirit Hall were as close as family!]

In fact, many nobles sitting at the back of the VIP seats shared similar thoughts.

Xue Qinghe also had a strange expression.

She discovered that Zhou Qing was truly a talented person—

First, he used his Mind-Sense Qi Field to intimidate the entire audience, and also knocked the other teams unconscious... Although he didn't cause any actual damage, he did cross the line of the tournament rules.

In this situation, it is understandable, even reasonable, for those Advanced Academy to step forward.

This put the three people directly in front of the VIPs in a difficult position...

Xue Qinghe suspected that all of this was under Zhou Qing's control.

Purpose?

She didn't quite understand.

To ruin this Continental Elite Tournament?

Or perhaps they realized that their match against the Elephant Armored Academy was deliberately arranged by Salas, and thus they rebelled in this way?

While he was pondering this, Xue Qinghe couldn't help but look at the somewhat flustered Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi, Salas, and Huyan Zhen. He seemed to understand something, but he was still a little confused.

Whatever the purpose, it requires the ability to accomplish it.

[And Zhou Qing happens to have it!]

[This challenge to Huyan Zhen at this time may be a genuine attempt to demonstrate the strength of their team and further deter those with malicious intent!]

Can a group of Soul Grandmaster and Soul Elder really fight against a Soul Douluo? Even if that Soul Douluo doesn't use his Soul Skill...

"Your Majesty, this... this is not appropriate, is it?" Huyan Zhen wanted to try again.

But it wasn't just Xue Ye; Salas and Ning Fengzhi both agreed, and the deans of the fifteen Advanced Academy below also agreed.

Although they stepped forward and became the first to speak out, they didn't really want to be the ones to teach the Nuoding Team a lesson. Since Zhou Qing of the Nuoding Team proposed to challenge Huyan Zhen, that was perfect.

Left with no other choice, Huyan Zhen had to agree.

But Zhou Qing spoke up again, saying, "That's indeed inappropriate. We can't restrict Senior Huyan from using his Soul Skill."

"Young friend Zhou Qing, the power of Soul Douluo is beyond your imagination. If they were to use their Soul Skill, you might not even last ten moves." Ning Fengzhi's eyelids twitched. At this moment, he really suspected that they were overconfident.

That Qi Field Power was indeed incredibly effective, but it couldn't intimidate even a Soul Douluo- level powerhouse.

Ten moves?

Huyan Zhen and Zhou Qing had a surprisingly similar thought: They underestimated us! How could we possibly withstand ten moves?

"I believe we can do it!"

Zhou Qing spoke with absolute certainty, and Tang San, Xiao Wu, Romantina, Wang Sheng, Bu Liu, Bu Qi all stepped forward at the same time, standing beside Zhou Qing and watching Ning Fengzhi together.

At this moment, the deans and teachers in charge of the fifteen Advanced Academy also felt that the Nuoding Team was a bit too confident.

Fighting opponents of higher levels does exist in the Soul Master World, and it can even be said to be common. After all, as long as one's Martial Soul is powerful and one's combat skills are superb, it is not impossible to fight opponents of one or two levels, or even five or six levels, or even a whole realm above the Soul King.

But is it really possible to face Soul Douluo, especially Soul Douluo without restrictions on Soul Skill, in a team composed of seven Soul Grandmaster and Soul Elder?

However, they were also happy to see it.

Reason?

Soul Master can create their Self-Created Soul Skill, but the Self-Created Soul Skill by the Nuoding Team are far ahead of their time, even far beyond this era.

Just from the effect it displayed, every Soul Master present wanted to plot against it, but also wanted to prevent others from obtaining it.

After much deliberation, to maintain stability, it seems best to let it disappear into the annals of history...

Some of the smart ones realized that Zhou Qing, the captain of the Nuoding Team, probably also realized this, so he wanted to take the opportunity to challenge Huyan Zhen, who was an unrestricted Soul Douluo!

Only in this way can we intimidate the vast majority of people present.
