Bribery and Match-Fixing

These two are currently the only ones who haven't lost a single game, and this match will determine their positions as captain and vice-captain.

Hu Liena returned just as the competition was reaching its most intense moment.

Xie Yue's Moon Blade swirled in the arena, flying towards Feng Xiaotian in the air. While dodging the Moon Blade's attack, Feng Xiaotian also had to use his aerial advantage to bombard Xie Yue directly below.

Both sides are already injured.

However, those watching could see that Xie Yue was at a disadvantage.

In terms of attack and defense, Xie Yue's Moon Blade is superior to Feng Xiaotian's, both in terms of the Martial Soul itself and his own skills.

But...

He can't fly!

Even Xie Yue's Self-Created Soul Skill, "Full Moon," is described as "flawless"!

It still can't fly.

Soul Master with flight Soul Skill are naturally invincible unless they encounter an opponent who can also fly, or they run out of Soul Power and land.

Although Xie Yue's Moon Blade can be used for ranged attacks by throwing, it is still difficult to harm Feng Xiaotian, who also possesses the speed of an agility-type Soul Master.

Hu Liena looked worriedly at Xie Yue, whose escape routes were blocked and who could only use his Moon Blade to withstand the defense.

"Little sister Hu Liena, you're here too!" Yan, who had arrived early, looked at Hu Liena with surprise and came over to greet her.

"Leave me alone, I want to watch my brother's game." Hu Liena didn't want to talk to Yan who had come to chat her up at this time.

"Oh!" Yan awkwardly withdrew his hand.

Xie Yue had previously sparred with Feng Xiaotian, winning and losing, but losing more often than winning.

If it were Martial Soul Fusion Skill between a brother and sister, they would defeat not only the geniuses in the team, but even a teacher at the level of a level 68 Soul Emperor.

However, since the individual competition cannot use the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Xie Yue couldn't use Feng Xiaotian, who could fly.

He'd honed his Moon Blade into a boomerang, but he still found it difficult to win.

This suppression will continue, and very few Soul Master with Weapon Martial Soul will acquire Flying Soul Skill.

As expected, the match ended with Xie Yue losing to Feng Xiaotian.

Yan and Xie Yue have a better relationship, and Yan always feels a little resentful because Xie Yue's strongest state is when she uses the Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Hu Liena.

Nana's alluring control and Xie Yue's powerful attacks complement each other, creating a synergy greater than the sum of its parts.

However, allowing the Martial Soul Fusion Skill would be unfair to Feng Xiaotian...

Scratching his head, Yan stopped thinking about these complicated issues and went with Hu Liena to pick up Xie Yue after he stepped off the stage.

The support-type Soul Master standing nearby immediately used a healing Soul Skill on Xie Yue after the match ended.

"I'm sorry, Nana, I lost." Xie Yue ignored her still-healing injuries and looked apologetically at her sister, her eyes filled with guilt, because she hadn't kept her promise from yesterday.

"It's okay, bro. Next time, let's team up and Feng Xiaotian to a pulp." Hu Liena didn't care about her previous promise and instead encouraged her brother with a smile.

There are winners and losers in competitions. She didn't really care about losing; what she cared about was that bastard Feng Xiaotian kicking her off the stage.

The kick was particularly hard, and combined with the wind from the opponent's Soul Skill, he was sent flying backwards. Moreover, he had twisted his ankle at that time and couldn't adjust his posture, so he fell flat on his back, completely humiliated.

Thinking about it now, I still feel embarrassed and angry.

Hu Liena was beautiful and charming, and was popular in the college. Boys usually went easy on her when they hit her, but she had never received such treatment before.

························

Although Xie Yue and his sister lost, in everyone's mind, their talent and potential are higher than Feng Xiaotian's.

Logically speaking, Feng Xiaotian possessed Innate Full Soul Power, so his talent should be superior to that of Xie Yue and his sister.

But when he came to the Spirit Hall Academy at the age of seventeen, he was only at level thirty-two.

A level 32 at seventeen is barely considered genius, but it doesn't match his Innate Full Soul Power talent at all. It's unknown how he cultivated before. (Feng Xiaotian in Tang San was about nine years old, and in the original novel, he was about twenty-four years old in the Advanced Soul Master Tournament, but he was only level 44. This is a reverse calculation, and it's already considered an overestimation.)

He is now about four years older than Xie Yue and his sister, but they are in the same grade, so it's only a matter of time before he is surpassed.

Sensing the gazes of those around him, Feng Xiaotian's face beneath the mask showed a hint of bitterness.

Back in Element City, his classmates were all less talented than him, and even without hard work, his Soul Power Level was still far superior to his peers.

Therefore, he spent a lot of time creating his Self-Created Soul Skill, aiming to create Self-Created Soul Skill that could be passed down within the family, and to become the pride of the family.

Having no experience and no one to consult, he studied on his own, which took an unimaginable amount of time and wasted a lot of his cultivation time.

However, he was still ranked first in the academy, so he didn't care.

But when he actually saw the outside world and faced the astonished expressions of others who knew that he had Innate Full Soul Power but was only at this level, he was overwhelmed.

Feng Xiaotian didn't know how to answer.

Xie Yue also completed his Self-Created Soul Skill, but he developed it based on inspiration from his cultivation and battles, and then used his spare time outside of cultivation to develop it, so it did not delay his cultivation.

In fact, the fact that both sides are now at the same level is the result of Feng Xiaotian's all-out efforts to catch up.

But he only drifted further and further away from the figure he was pursuing...

Unreachable...

Chapter 151 Bribery and Match-Fixing

The selection process for the official team members has already concluded without Qian Renxue having played a single match.

No student wanted to challenge the level 59 Soul King.

Only Dugu Yan faced several challenges, after all, she was the lowest-ranked among the seven, but Dugu Yan won all of them, proving that she deserved her spot.

Since no one was challenging her, Qian Renxue went to watch the match between Team 3 and Team 2, and then felt even more bored.

They also commented on the strength of the second and third teams.

Whether considering overall strength or individual skill, Team Three is clearly stronger than Team Two.

The reason they applied to three teams together was because they grew up together, had great teamwork, wanted to be on a team, and also wanted to compete in the Star Luo Empire.

Previously, Tian Yue went to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Soul Beast, but was robbed by a Soul Master from the Star Luo Empire.

Being robbed wouldn't normally be a big deal, but Tian Yue had her Soul Beast stolen without even seeing the thief's face.

There were no footsteps heard, no figures seen, only a loud "bang!" heard from afar.

Then, the Soul Beast that had just been chosen but hadn't even made a move had its head explode.

Finally, with her grandfather's help, Tian Yue found the location where the enemy had launched their attack, on a mountain peak two kilometers away from them.

He killed a thousand-year-old Soul Beast with a single strike from two thousand meters away!

Their first reaction was disbelief.

But that's just how it is.

Based on the few clues left on the mountain, all they knew was that the person was from the Star Luo Empire, very young, Martial Soul capable of long-range attacks, and was at the Soul Ancestor level or above.

Tian Yue guessed that the other party would also be participating in the Advanced Soul Master Tournament, which is why she wanted to go to the Star Luo Empire.

And even now, Tian Yue still can't figure out what the other person's Martial Soul is.

························

As the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue is quite concerned about the team's strength.

After all, if they lose the competition and don't even make it through the preliminaries, it will be a disgrace to the Spirit Hall.

Qian Renxue possesses intelligence on the geniuses of the two great empires' advanced Soul Master Academy.

Although in Qian Renxue's opinion, these so-called geniuses are no match for her and her older brothers and sisters.

In Qian Renxue's opinion, the two pairs of Martial Soul Fusion Skill from the Skywater Academy were too low-level and had limited power.

The two geniuses of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy are not worth mentioning, as they are not even at the Soul King level.

The same reason applies to the two pairs of Martial Soul Fusion Skill from the Star Luo Royal Academy.

At only twelve years old, Qian Renxue was a level 59 Soul King, and naturally she was proud, and had every reason to be proud.

Moreover, the power of her Angel God Set has not yet been calculated. If the Angel God Set is added, Qian Renxue's combat power will increase by another level.

In short, Qian Renxue, just like Qian Xunji.

Although she paid attention, she did not regard these so-called geniuses as rivals.

Qian Renxue considered this Advanced Soul Master Tournament to be hers for the taking.

With such overwhelming strength, the members of the Martial Soul Hall Second Team and third teams were quickly confirmed.

After school in the afternoon, Qian Renxue ran to the Pope Palace and happened to see the rewards for this Advanced Soul Master Tournament.

The Spirit Hall, as the organizer, and the two great empires, as voluntary sponsors, agree on the annual rewards in advance.

In previous years, the competition rewards were Soul Bone.

This year's Advanced Soul Master Tournament has attracted much attention, with both the two great empires and the Spirit Hall determined to win, and they are very generous with the rewards, constantly increasing them.

The two great empires kept sending money, prompting the Spirit Hall to change its rewards to Soul Bone of higher age.

"What? They only offer money, but Soul Bone are priceless! They always ask the Spirit Hall to provide the Soul Bone." Qian Renxue glanced at the contents and was somewhat dissatisfied.

Soul Bone are rare resources and rarely appear. Once they do appear at auction, they will definitely fetch astronomical prices.

Often, even money can't buy a Soul Bone.

"Take a look at the Gold Soul Coin and other supplies they're offering." Qian Xunji tapped Qian Renxue on the head, making her look at them carefully.

"Five million Gold Soul Coin, one hundred catties of Whale Rubber, fifty century-old ginseng roots, lingzhi mushrooms..."

Qian Renxue patiently read it to the end.

Then, based on the pill formulas he had memorized, he roughly estimated that there would be nearly one hundred eighth-order Soul Power Breakthrough Pill, one thousand seventh-order Martial Soul Breakthrough Pill, and tens of thousands of basic pills.

With the development of the Spirit Hall, all the sources of medicinal herbs that could be collected have been collected, and the rest are already owned.

This time, they probably took almost half of the medicinal herb reserves accumulated by the two great empires.

"Are they being so generous this time?" Qian Renxue asked suspiciously.

In the past, both empires were only willing to give Gold Soul Coin.
