"It was nothing special."
Lin Qinglan shook his head.
"In the end, they were just a bunch of two-ring Soul Grandmasters brawling in low-tier matches. What was there to brag about?"
One team member immediately added, "The instructor is right! Captain Yun'er and Vice-Captain Lingxi absorbed their Third Soul Rings not long ago. With the boost from the soul ring energy, they've both reached level thirty-two Soul Elder! If they really fought, they could completely crush them!"
"They wouldn't even need to use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"
"Even if Thunder Academy seems to have some connection to that Rainbow Dragon..." Another person curled his lip. "According to the information from the Tournament Arena, he only used one soul ring from start to finish."
"What could a one-ring soul master possibly accomplish? Thunder Academy's secret weapon obviously hasn't matured yet. He might not even take the field in this Exchange Tournament. Even if he does, there's no need to take him seriously."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Before the absolute level advantage of two level thirty-two Soul Elders, the fighting spirit records of a group of two-ring soul masters were truly not worth mentioning in their eyes.

The sisters Shui Yun'er and Shui Lingxi were equally confident in the battle, but their thoughts had drifted elsewhere.
Shui Yun'er rested her chin in both hands, a trace of longing appearing in her eyes.
"Come to think of it, I really want to see Young Master Xiaoheng again... I still remember his bearing that day as clearly as ever."
Shui Lingxi nodded gently at her words.
Neither of them had fallen for a stranger.
But for girls their age, Yu Xiaoheng's demeanor back then—the imposing air of someone who held his family's power in the palm of his hand—was exceedingly rare.
