Your Older Sister, Hu Liena!
The fourth round of the competition is about to begin, but Bibi Dong has yet to appear, citing illness as the reason for refusing to meet with everyone.
The Red-robed Cardinal in charge of the draw had no choice but to consult Lin Hai:
"Your His Highness the Saint Son, is there anything special I should do to make for this draw?"
Lin Hai was stunned upon hearing this.
He did indeed pull some strings to ensure that all six teams could advance to the fourth round.
But they are the strongest of all the participating teams, and there is absolutely no doubt that they will make it into the top three.
He did this because the girls cared a lot about the competition results, and he didn't want them to be drawn against each other too early.
Does this guy really think he's some kind of villain who can manipulate games at will?
Seeing that Lin Hai seemed to have misunderstood, the Red-robed Cardinal quickly stepped forward and whispered:
"Your His Highness the Saint Son, if this were in previous years, the lottery would have been conducted fairly without any problems."
"But this year is different from the past. His Holiness the Pope has personally ordered that the top three teams will receive Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone reward."
"If we don't handle it properly and the Spirit Bone falls into the hands of outsiders, wouldn't that be tantamount to aiding the enemy?"
Aiding the enemy? Who is the enemy?
The teams that made it to the top six were basically all led by their own women!
Okay... Even if either Star Luo Royal Academy or New Divine Wind team makes it into the top three, at most it will just mean that Dai Weisi or Feng Xiaotian takes away a Spirit Bone. What's the big deal?
So Lin Hai waved his hand and said in a relaxed tone:
"Don't overthink it. Almost all the teams that made it to the top six are our own people. Just make the arrangements as usual!"
After saying that, he turned around and returned to the Shrek Academy's viewing area.
"... almost all of them are our own people?" The Red-robed Cardinal stood there, carefully pondering Lin Hai's words, especially the word "almost".
A moment later, he thought he had grasped the deeper meaning behind His Highness the Saint Son's words and began to "arrange" the lottery.
After learning that Huo Wu was determined to pursue Lin Hai, Feng Xiaotian became somewhat depressed.
After drawing lots and returning to the team, his expression became even more displeased.
Seeing this, Huo Wushuang patted him on the shoulder and laughed:
"Judging from your appearance, did you draw the Spirit Hall Academy? Or the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"
In most people's eyes, Soul Power Level is the most direct manifestation of strength.
The Spirit Hall Academy Team, which boasts Soul Emperor, and the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team have always been recognized as the two strongest teams in this tournament, opponents that no one wants to face early on.
Feng Xiaotian shook his head and uttered a few words in a hoarse voice. "It's Shrek Academy."
He's become somewhat sensitive to the name "Shrek" these days...
Upon hearing this, Huo Wushuang Wushuang's smile froze.
Well, this result... is no different for them from drawing those two teams.
If they were drawn into the Skywater Academy or Star Luo Royal Academy, which are slightly weaker overall, they would at least have a sliver of hope for advancement.
Shrek... Divine Wind and Blazing Fire have both fought against him and lost, they were completely crushed!
Even though the two companies have merged and their strength has increased, Huo Wushuang still sees no chance of winning.
Meanwhile, on Shrek's side, Dai Mubai's face also showed helplessness after learning the results of the draw.
I had originally planned to face off against Dai Weisi on the Finals stage.
Winning or losing doesn't matter; with Lin Hai's promise, he has nothing to worry about.
He just wanted to beat Dai Weisi up, as revenge for himself and his second brother!
Now it seems that the opportunity is gone...
The Red-robed Cardinal in charge of the draw didn't actually know which teams Lin Hai included in his "one of their own," and he didn't dare to guess.
But he had his own basis for judgment—
Hu Liena.
The His Holiness the Pope disciple has had an abnormal Spirit Ring Configuration since childhood; it must be the work of His Highness the Saint Son!
Therefore, he simply concluded:
Among the participating teams, anyone possessing Ten-Thousand-Year Fourth Spirit Ring must be one of the "one of us" mentioned by the Holy Son!
Thus, the current lottery result was obtained.
Shrek Academy vs. Godwind Academy.
Heaven Dou Royal Academy vs. Star Luo Royal Academy.
Spirit Hall Academy vs. Skywater Academy.
This result is truly a mixed bag of joy and sorrow...
The reaction from the Skywater Academy was relatively calm. They had already submitted to the Spirit Hall and would not lack cultivation resources in the future.
Besides, Lin Hai had already promised to refine Elixir Pill for them, so the gain or loss of a Spirit Bone wasn't that important.
Godwind Academy was the weakest of the six teams. Although they were disappointed to be eliminated in the top six, they were prepared for it.
Feng Xiaotian was simply annoyed by being repeatedly humiliated by Shrek Academy and having his woman stolen by Lin Hai...
Dai Weisi was the most frustrated.
Before his fiancée ran away, she revealed her Soul King strength, but before she could demonstrate her final value, the team was about to be eliminated.
In his view, the overall strength of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy was just so-so.
But the opponent had a Dugu Yan with a Soul Power level of 67!
Watching Zhu Zhuyun say goodbye to her teammates one by one, looking relaxed and even with a hint of joy at the impending freedom, Dai Weisi felt a chill run down his spine!
The result of the match was as expected.
The Spirit Hall Academy, Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and Shrek Academy advanced to the top three without any suspense.
It's worth mentioning the match between the Spirit Hall Academy and Skywater Academy.
When the Spirit Hall Academy Team entered the arena, the person standing at the very front of the team, in the center position, was none other than Hu Liena, who had never appeared in a major competition before.
Upon seeing this unfamiliar woman who immediately took center stage upon her arrival, Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu were immediately alarmed.
The two exchanged a glance and decided to strike first, immediately activating their Martial Soul Fusion Skill – Ice Snow Falling.
After consuming the Immortal Herb Elixir Pill, Xue Wu's Martial Soul quality was significantly improved.
Nowadays, performing Martial Soul Fusion Skill no longer requires the long dance-like preparation that was necessary before.
However, they were still a step too slow.
Before their Soul Power could fully merge, a strange silver light flashed in Hu Liena's eyes.
The next moment, a shocking scene unfolded—
The six members of the Skywater Academy Team, including Xue Wu, seemed to have all their strength drained away in an instant, collapsing to the ground and losing consciousness.
Only Shui Bing'er, with her Soul King strength and tenacious will, managed to hold on for a little longer.
But in just a few breaths, he followed in the footsteps of the six others and collapsed to the ground.
Liu Erlong has completely let loose today, and is currently sitting on Lin Hai's lap, watching the match in an intimate manner.
Seeing this strange scene below the stage, he asked in confusion:
"Who is this girl? No Soul Ring... Is it Instant Spirit Skill? What a strange method!"
Lin Hai, who was absent-mindedly pondering Hu Liena's mental manipulation just now, subconsciously answered casually:
"Your sister, Hu Liena! Also, that wasn't instantaneous..."
"What did you say?! Whose sister?!" Liu Erlong instantly bristled, turning her head sharply, her beautiful eyes filled with murderous intent as she interrupted Lin Hai's words.
Her small hand had already locked onto Lin Hai's waist!
You bastard! It's bad enough that you made me call you "Dad," but now you dare to give me an older sister too?!
