Yu Xiaogang's Thoughts

Feng Xiaotian immediately shouted to the Referee not far away, "There's no need for the rest of the battle. Godwind Academy concedes this round!"

Under normal circumstances, Feng Xiaotian's words would have caused more or less controversy, but not now.

Because in a one-on-one fight, Shui Wuchen's strength was clearly already unbeatable. Even if all of Godwind Academy's remaining students took the field, they would not be able to withstand a single move from Shui Wuchen.

About an hour later, the Promotion Tournament finally came to an end. As for the course of the matches, no one paid attention anymore.

The existence of Shui Wuchen and Feng Xiaotian had rendered the matches of the other academies meaningless.

Immediately afterward, Xue Ye began an impassioned speech.

Midway through, Xue Ye shifted the subject and looked toward Shui Wuchen and Feng Xiaotian. "This Elite Tournament has truly surprised me. I never expected two Soul Emperors to appear within our Heaven Dou territory. With you two here, I believe I no longer need to worry about the championship."

Shui Wuchen's expression remained calm at those words. Revealing his Soul Emperor cultivation this time might not necessarily be a good thing.

On the surface, he and Articuno working together could already be considered high-level combat power. Moreover, he still had his final territory ability unrevealed. As long as he did not encounter a legendary Titled Douluo, he should have no trouble protecting himself.

But who could guarantee that this world's level of power was really as simple as it appeared?

Did web novels not love nesting layers upon layers? Invincible in the open, enemies emerging in secret; invincible on the ground, enemies descending from the sky.

Therefore, Shui Wuchen did not dare let down his guard. He still held the world in awe.

Feng Xiaotian merely smiled. He had heard this kind of praise far too often, and it meant nothing to him.

After Xue Ye spoke for a while longer and confirmed that Crown Prince Xue Beng would serve as the Heaven Dou judge for the Finals, he left the Grand Arena.

"Twenty days?"

Inside the tent, Shui Wuchen could not help frowning slightly when he heard that the journey to Spirit City would take twenty days.

That was simply too much of a delay to his cultivation. After all, a carriage was hardly a suitable place to train.

Shui Yueruo nodded slightly. "That's right. Spirit City lies at the border between the Two Great Empires. It's a long journey, and we're traveling by carriage, so there's nothing we can do about it."

"That's too long."

Shui Wuchen shook his head, then said to Shui Yueruo, "How about this? I'll leave the group temporarily to take care of some matters, then return when the Finals begin."

"This..."

Shui Yueruo hesitated. If Shui Wuchen failed to make it back for one reason or another, then Skywater Academy's almost guaranteed championship would be handed over to someone else.

However, after a moment, Shui Yueruo still nodded. "Since you've made up your mind, then all right. But remember the time."

After all, Skywater Academy had achieved such excellent results this time entirely because of Shui Wuchen. Even if he did not participate in the upcoming matches, they would merely return to how things had been before.

Seeing Shui Yueruo agree, Shui Wuchen immediately turned and prepared to leave the tent.

"Brother!"

At that moment, Shui Bing'er suddenly reached out and said with slight hesitation, "I want to go with you. Is that okay?"

Shui Wuchen glanced at Shui Bing'er, then nodded.

Shui Bing'er was immediately overjoyed. She hurried to Shui Wuchen's side and waved at the sisters of Skywater Academy. "Sisters, see you at the Finals."

Then, she left the tent with Shui Wuchen.

"Articuno!"

"Woo~~"

After they walked out of the tent, the Articuno on Shui Wuchen's shoulder rapidly enlarged, carrying the two of them as it flew into the distance.

Elsewhere, at Godwind Academy's camp.

Feng Xiaotian stared resolutely at Feng Qingcang before him. "Dean, there are still more than twenty days before the tournament begins. Do you have any way to further improve my strength?"

"There is a way, but that place is far too dangerous."

Feng Qingcang pondered for a moment before answering hesitantly.

Feng Xiaotian's eyes lit up. He immediately pressed, "No matter how dangerous the method is, I can endure it."

Feng Qingcang looked into Feng Xiaotian's determined eyes and sighed. "All right, but you must come out alive."

"Don't worry, Dean. I, Feng Xiaotian, will never fall so easily."

Feng Xiaotian smiled with great confidence. He believed that no matter how dangerous the place was, he could make it through.

After Feng Qingcang gave some instructions to the other teachers and students, he and Feng Xiaotian flew away from the military camp.

Shrek's tent.

Tang San listened to Yu Xiaogang's tactical explanation, but his mind was elsewhere.

"Xiao San, what are you thinking about?"

Yu Xiaogang frowned when he noticed and asked.

Tang San came back to his senses and replied, "Teacher, I was thinking about how we can defeat Shui Wuchen and Feng Xiaotian and win this tournament's championship."

"Hey, Third Brother, you're still thinking about that?"

As soon as he said this, Ma Hongjun took a bite of a chicken leg and immediately said, "We're still so young. Let them have this championship. Who will be a match for Shrek in the next tournament?"

Ma Hongjun's words represented the thoughts of most people in Shrek at present. They had indeed entertained the idea of competing for the championship, but that thought had vanished with the appearance of the two Soul Emperors, Shui Wuchen and Feng Xiaotian.

Even Shrek's Soul Emperor teachers had felt inferior after watching Shui Wuchen and Feng Xiaotian fight. Wouldn't Soul Ancestors like them be asking for humiliation by competing with those two for the championship?

But the next tournament would be entirely different.

The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament was held once every five years. They were already Soul Ancestors now, so five years later, the Shrek Seven Devils would definitely be Soul Kings.

With seven Soul Kings, plus Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul Fusion Skill to back them up, wouldn't winning an Elite Tournament championship be effortless?

Ning Rongrong also nodded. "That's right. We'll definitely win the championship five years from now. It's just a shame about Spirit Hall's reward this time. Those are three Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones!"

Even for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones were exceedingly scarce. Even Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, the pillars of the sect, had not collected a complete set of Soul Bones.

Under normal circumstances, Soul Bones of this level would never be offered as rewards. Spirit Hall had only taken them out this time because it was too confident that it would not lose and had intended them as rewards for the Golden Generation.

However, Yu Xiaogang's expression changed slightly as he listened to their conversation, because he knew that Tang San, whose Twin Martial Souls had been exposed, most likely would not have another chance.

Perhaps it was time for me to find that person.
