Thunder Academy Branch

The All-Continent Elite Tournament for Advanced Soul Master Academy is progressing rapidly, and the five qualifying spots for the Heaven Dou City Division have already been determined.

In order, they are: Thunder Academy Branch, Godwind Academy, Skywater Academy, Blazing Fire Academy, and Elephant Armor Academy.

Thunder Academy Branch qualified with a perfect record. Although this branch campus is not as strong as the Main Campus, it has almost no rivals in the Heaven Dou Division.

Among the team members of this academy, there are several recognizable names: Qian Renxue, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuyun, Zhu Zhuqing, Yu Tianxin, and two passerby Soul Master with decent strength. The lowest Soul Power Level is level 38.

Yes, Qian Renxue was also a member of the Thunder Academy. Although something went wrong, she was still born, even though her father became Qian Daoliu and she was two years younger than Tang San...

However, thanks to her innate Talent of level 20, coupled with the cultivation resources and guidance provided by Yu Mingxiao, her Soul Power Level still reached level 48 at the age of twelve...

The fact that these five academies were able to advance was almost entirely expected; the appearance of Shrek, like in the original story, would have been a surprise.

The Heaven Dou Empire has a total of six Preliminary Round Divisions. Apart from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team, which has already secured a spot, the remaining fifteen qualifying spots will be divided equally among the six slots.

The Heaven Dou City Division, while the remaining qualifying spots will be shared equally among the Four Great Kingdoms and a Principality. The situation on the Star Luo Empire's side is similar to that of Heaven Dou.

In other words, through the Preliminary Round, thirty Soul Master teams will advance to the next stage.

All thirty teams will participate in the Finals. But before the Finals, there is a Promotion Round.

The so-called Promotion Round are actually a ranking tournament for the teams that have already entered the finals. The tournament organizers determine the order in which each team will play in the finals based on their ranking in the Promotion Round Finals.

The Promotion Round took place a week later, and the five students who successfully advanced returned to their respective academies.

Yu Xiaogang did not return to the Godwind Academy with Feng Xiaotian and the others; he was dragged away by Snake Granny along the way.

Upon hearing her granddaughter Meng Yiran mention that Yu Xiaogang was also competing, Snake Granny rode her horse to the Heaven Dou City Division.

The Exotic Beast Academy originally had a chance to advance, because it was an academy established within a kingdom, and strictly speaking, it was not under the jurisdiction of the Heaven Dou Empire. It could compete for advancement slots within its own kingdom.

But seeing that Yu Xiaogang was also competing in the Heaven Dou City Division, Meng Yiran wanted to compete with that "grandpa" Yu Xiaogang. Unsurprisingly, she was easily defeated by the Godwind Academy...

Back in Beast City, Chao Tianxiang complained, "Xiao Gang, it's all your fault! Our Exotic Beast Academy had a chance to advance, but that kid Yi Ran signed up for the Heaven Dou Division competition and lost to the academy there, missing the chance to participate in the Finals."

Yu Xiaogang sighed, "How can you blame me? Even if we hadn't eliminated the Exotic Beast Academy, how far could they have gone in Spirit City?"

Snake Granny thought about it and agreed, so she stopped talking and pulled Xiao Qu behind her over, "Could you arrange for Yi Ran and your disciple to enter Godwind Academy, so they can experience the glory of the Finals?"

"Xiao Qu..." Yu Xiaogang's eyes were complicated. Ever since he was able to cultivate again, he had hardly paid any attention to his disciple. And this child was also uncompetitive and never said he wanted to participate in the All-Continent High-Level Soul Master Academy Elite Competition.

"I... I'll try my best; perhaps I can arrange for them to be substitute players," Yu Xiaogang said in a deep voice.

"What's the difference between that and not participating at all? Where would any team field substitute players in the finals?" Chao Tianxiang puffed out her cheeks, somewhat dissatisfied.

"But I don't have much power at the Godwind Academy!" Yu Xiaogang retorted angrily.

The Snake Granny's aura weakened slightly. "Alright then, that's all for now."

"Um... teacher, can I not participate in the competition?" Xiao Qu asked softly.

As a Demon Maggot with 100,000 years of cultivation, she knew all too well how dangerous the Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academy across the continent was. There were too many powerful figures there who could see through her true form, and she might be locked in Secret Room halfway to the arena.

So when Chao Tianxiang invited her to join the Exotic Beast Academy, she politely declined and didn't accept the invitation at all.

She's not like that 100,000-year-old rabbit Wu Tai-Jun, who doesn't use her brain and only knows how to fall in love.

"Huh? You don't want to participate?" Yu Xiaogang was taken aback for a moment, then comforted him, "Are you afraid of dragging the team down? It's okay, you might not even get a chance to play, maybe you'll just be watching from the players' area."

"No, that's not it, I... there are too many people, I'm a little scared, teacher, please don't make me go," Xiao Qu pleaded.

"You... are you so timid? So socially awkward?" Yu Xiaogang's expression was complicated. How come he hadn't noticed that his female disciple, whom he had taken in halfway through life, had this trait?

But no matter what, he's still much better than that traitor Tang San.

Fine, if I don't want to go, I don't want to go.

The All-Continent Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academy is certainly a rare opportunity for training, but it is not the only way out.

Five Elements City, Thunder Academy Branch.

The training ground in the backyard.

"Teacher, why didn't you tell me you were coming? I could have come out to greet you."

Qian Renxue Yu Mingxiao arrive at the academy alone, her face lit up with joy, and she immediately rushed into his arms.

Besides her father, this teacher was the only one she felt close to.

Yu Mingxiao gently ruffled her soft golden hair and chuckled softly, "I took some time to watch your match; you played very well."

"Needless to say? Those academies in the Heaven Dou Division are no match at all. Our academy hasn't lost a single game." Qian Renxue raised her chin, her face full of pride, looking smug and boastful.

Yu Mingxiao said, "Yes, I have high hopes for you guys. If I have the chance, I'll go watch the Promotion Round in a few days."

"Great! I'll definitely beat those people from the academy to a pulp, especially that disgusting Yu Xiaogang. I'll beat his ass until it's swollen and he can't even fart!" Qian Renxue clenched her fist.

Sweat beaded on Yu Mingxiao's forehead. He coughed twice and said, "It seems you all really hate Yu Xiaogang."

"That disgusting guy pollutes the competition environment. I don't think many people like him. Playing against him is torture," Qian Renxue complained.

"How about this, I'll teach you a secret method to stop him from farting, what do you think?" Yu Mingxiao suggested, a sudden inspiration flashing in his mind.

"What secret technique, Your Majesty?" Ning Rongrong couldn't help but ask.

The others also looked at him.

"Don't be so formal. You can call me uncle-in-law; after all, your aunt is my wife."

Yu Mingxiao glanced at her and said calmly, "I think you all know that Yu Xiaogang's farts have a pre-fart animation. As long as you interrupt him the moment he's about to fart, you can stop his Thunderous Fart."
