The list of advancing teams
"The Dragon Serpent Family?"
Wu Qi was puzzled.
He knew that the Dragon Duke Serpent Dowager were not law-abiding people, so why were they paying attention to him?
The two sides only met once in the Star Dou Great Forest, and Meng Shu was even intimidated by Ning Rongrong's background. How dare she still have designs on him?
Besides the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School, Wu Qi's apparent backers also include Dugu Bo. What exactly is Meng Shu's intention?
Dugu Bo didn't find out much, but since they were both grandfathers, he knew Meng Shu's thoughts all too well.
"That old bastard Meng Shu probably wants to marry his granddaughter to you. He wants to use your current influence to make the Dragon Serpent Family the eighth largest sect (family) on the continent."
"In the future, he also hopes to use your Talent to lead the Dragon Serpent Family to the ranks of the Lower Four Sects, or even the Upper Three Sects."
Wu Qi shrugged. "He's really overthinking it."
In some ways, Meng Yiran is much more willful and capricious than Ning Rongrong.
In the past, although Ning Rongrong was willful, at least her values were sound under Ning Fengzhi's guidance. On the other hand, Meng Yiran Peerless Dragon Serpent Couple, making her even more willful than the empire's princess.
"By the way, has Yan Zi absorbed the Soul Bone yet?" Wu Qi asked casually.
The Royal Fight Team One is a formidable opponent for the Seven Treasures Team in the Finals, especially since Dugu Yan has cultivated poison skills and her strength has broken through to the Soul King.
Having received an affirmative answer, Wu Qi made a plan in mind.
On the Finals Stage, it's impossible for him to admit defeat.
Unable to use techniques other than Martial Soul, dealing with Dugu Yan, who is empowered by poison, will be very difficult, but it is not without countermeasures.
After a pause, Dugu Bo voiced his question, "Little fellow, Yan Yan's team has been supplemented with the Marquis's youngest son— Wu Qin."
"That kid told Yan Yan that you're from the Wu Family!?"
Wu Qin whispered it in Dugu Yan's ear several times, which made Dugu Bo take it seriously, and he finally asked the question.
Wu Qi was somewhat taken aback.
That day, he clearly told Wu Qinan that he was not a member of the Wu Family.
Under normal circumstances, the other party should not pester you.
You know, there are quite a few people with the surname Xue on the mainland; they can't all be members of the Heaven Dou Royal Family, can they?
Was Wu Qin's statement made at Wu Qinan's behest, or was it simply something he said offhand?
Wu Qi remained calm and casually replied, "Old man, are you getting confused too? Do you think just anyone with the Dugu compound surname is your relative?"
Dugu Bo shook his head and didn't ask any further questions.
With the conclusion of the match between the Skywater Academy and Shrek Academy, the Preliminary Round of the Heaven Dou Empire region have officially ended.
In the match just now, Tang San was completely exhausted.
His Blue Silver Grass withered almost as soon as it sprouted in the face of Shui Bing'er's extreme low temperature; there was simply no comparison.
Tang San, the soul of the team, was countered, and the Shrek Team ultimately lost the game by a large margin.
It's worth mentioning that Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu did not use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill!
After the two teams stepped off the Arena, the Staff rushed forward to tidy up and prepare for the upcoming closing ceremony.
Shrek Team's rest area.
Apart from Tang San, the others were in low spirits.
Even a team like Skywater Academy, which isn't a favorite to win the championship, can easily defeat them.
Once they reach the Finals Stage, are they truly capable of advancing without resorting to their Finals trump card?
Perhaps sensing everyone's thoughts, Tang San spoke up, "Don't be discouraged, everyone. This competition has shown us the true strength of the Skywater Academy. If we meet them in the Finals, we will definitely win."
"Don't worry, everyone. I'll explain the details in a few days. Please trust me."
With multiple Soul Ring added to his Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, his Soul Power Level is very likely to break through to the Soul King.
At that time, with the Number One Tool Martial Soul on the continent in his hands, plus the Control Type Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, he will surely be invincible.
Yu Xiaogang gestured with his hand. "Alright, the Preliminary Round are over. What's past is past, let's not dwell on it anymore."
"Next, after the closing ceremony, everyone can have a month-long vacation to rest and recharge."
Amidst the busy work of the Staff, the original Arena has been cleared.
Emperor Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire, surrounded by Ning Fengzhi and others, arrived at the center of the Arena.
Then, the Master of Ceremonies announced the names of the five teams that advanced.
The first to be affected was the Seven Treasures Team.
Their undefeated record is enough to make them stand out from the crowd; they deserve to be in the center position.
The second-place team in the Preliminary Round was the Skywater Team, and they were also assigned to a position near the Xue Ye.
The third-place team in the Preliminary Round was the Thunder Team, who lost to the two Battle Team mentioned above. Given their connection to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, they were also positioned in the front row.
The fourth-place team in the Preliminary Round was the Wind Fire Team, which lost to the three teams mentioned above.
Due to the limited space in the Arena and the security control measures in place, they were positioned behind the aforementioned three teams.
The fifth-place team in the preliminary rounds was the Shrek Team, which lost to the three teams mentioned above, plus the Oakland Academy Team, making them the gatekeepers for the qualifying spots.
The Arena remains undamaged, and all five teams participated to receive awards and rewards.
The Shrek Team was positioned directly behind the Seven Treasures Team.
Looking at Wu Qi ahead, Tang San silently clenched his fists.
Once he cultivates the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, he will definitely wash away all the humiliation he suffered before!
"His Majesty and Sovereign Ning will now present the qualification certificates and competition prizes to the participating teams."
Xue Ye received the certificate from the Staff and walked towards the Seven Treasures Team first, her smile widening.
He even took the initiative to shake hands with the Seven Treasures Team Members, which caused a burst of cheers from the audience.
"Congratulations on setting a new record in the history of this competition. We hope you will continue your efforts in the upcoming matches. On behalf of the Imperial Family, I have high hopes for you."
The crowd was flattered and immediately bowed, saying, "We will certainly not fail Your His Majesty's trust."
Xue Ye nodded in satisfaction, handed the advancement certificate to Wu Qi, and then patted him lightly on the shoulder.
The promotion certificate is more symbolic than practical; it's mostly taken back to the academy, framed, and used to demonstrate the honor the academy has received.
Even if something is lost, they will still be able to successfully enter the competition once the Qualifying Round begin.
After all, only a few teams advanced, and everyone knows that there is no possibility of someone impersonating another.
Next, Xue Ye stepped aside to present certificates to the other teams.
Ning Fengzhi stepped forward and took out a Gold Spirit Card worth 10,000 Gold Souls from his pocket.
Arriving before the Seven Treasures Team, Ning Fengzhi said with a warm smile, "Your performance was truly unexpected. This 10,000 Gold Soul Coin is a reward from the organizers. Later, when you return to the academy, your sect will give you additional rewards."
Ning Fengzhi didn't say much and immediately walked towards the next team.
Wu Qi and the others were not short of money. With everyone's consent, he gave the 10,000 Gold Soul Coin to the four Substitute Player to distribute as an extra reward.
After all, Substitute Player don't get any of the sect's rewards.
