Monster Academy's Desperate Last Stand! A Battle for Proof!
The following day, the Continental Elite Youth High-Level Soul Master Elite Tournament continued in full swing.
Standing on high ground and looking into the distance, Star Luo Stadium was packed with people, a dense, dark mass of heads, flags fluttering in the stands, and shouts rising and falling.
"Do you think the top -Genius Ranking won again today?"
"Not necessarily. I feel he's probably second only to Long Yue in skill level. It all depends on when he runs into Long Yue."
"I estimate that his season is over."
The others nodded in agreement.
Some people hope he can go further away so that the Soul Master of the Star Luo Empire can see just how big the gap is between themselves and true geniuses.
But the final outcome had already been predetermined.
He can beat anyone, but he can't beat Long Yue.
This is the bottom line.
Individual heroism swept across the entire Star Luo Continent.
Individual combat naturally enjoys immense popularity among the people of the Star Luo Empire.
More than half of the tournament's popularity was focused on the individual matches.
Before long, after rounds of battles, the top eight were determined.
Bai Yuan, Gu Yue, Tang Wulin, Ye Xinglan, Dragon King Long Yue, Tiger King Dai Yueyan, Dai Yun'er, Fox King Su Mu.
Eight figures, top young Soul Master from two continents, each occupied a space in the morning light.
The sounds from the stands began to slowly coalesce and surge towards the center of the field along the edge of the stands.
The moment the draw results were announced, there was a moment of silence in the stands, followed by a deafening roar of cheers.
Of the eight finalists, Shrek and Star Luo Empire each secured four spots, and the local audience's faces were filled with satisfaction, saying "not bad."
In their view, the remaining four Heavenly Kings are the true face of the Monster Academy.
Shrek has already achieved something to be proud of.
Yue Zhengyu stood on the sidelines.
He looked at the cheering crowd on the stage with frustration.
This was supposed to be the day he would become famous.
He had originally planned to make the name of the Holy Angel resound throughout this continent.
The glory of the Holy Angel Family should shine upon this continent.
But things didn't go as planned, and in the round of 16 they ran into the freak Gu Yue.
Is releasing elemental power the same as not releasing Soul Power?
That's an exaggeration.
Before he could even spread his wings, an overwhelming Elemental Bombardment descended upon him.
Throughout the entire match, he was frustrated, constantly running, dodging, and being chased, ultimately suffering a humiliating defeat.
He sat in the rest area, watching the silver figure walk towards Bai Yuan.
He looked up to the sky and roared:
"I Yue Zhengyu."
When will I become famous?
Xie Xie's experience was even more outrageous; he was facing Bai Yuan.
When he saw the draw, he knew he was out of the running.
After all this time, he knew that Bai Yuan's skill level was worlds apart from his own.
Therefore, I want to use all my strength to fight Brother Bai Yuan.
I dare not even think about winning; I'll just see if I can gain any experience from this experience!
His speed has always been top-notch among his peers, but it's no match for Bai Yuan.
His agility, which he was so proud of, couldn't even withstand three moves.
He always felt that his pace was fast enough, but every time he turned around...
Bai Yuan's figure was already waiting on the path he was bound to take, as if he had already traversed all of his planned routes.
He gritted his teeth and endured two more rounds, only to find that the oppressive feeling was even tighter than before.
Ultimately, they had no choice but to raise the white flag prematurely, calmly accepting the inevitable outcome.
"Big Brother Bai's speed is even faster than mine, a speed-based attacker! That's insane!"
"Sigh, but I'll study his footwork carefully when I get back; maybe it will help me improve my skills."
Even though the top eight in the individual competition are not yet fully decided, the atmosphere in the stands has already become somewhat tense.
Emperor Dai Tianling of the Star Luo Empire and Saint Dragon Douluo Enci sat side by side, their gazes simultaneously fixed on the list below, both remaining silent.
Monster Academy's performance fell far short of expectations.
Of the six students who registered for the Shrek Academy, four made it to the quarterfinals.
Even with all eight Heavenly Kings present, only four students from the Monster Academy advanced.
On paper, they each account for half, but a closer look at the lineup reveals the truth.
The sheer quality of the four Shrek didn't make the Star Luo Empire faction happy.
Compared to their absolute confidence before the competition began, everyone now understands the situation.
At least in the competition among the younger generation, Monster Academy and Shrek have an insurmountable gap.
The only hope for the Star Luo Empire Long Yue in Long Yue surpassing Bai Yuan in the remaining matches.
Win back your last shred of dignity before the finish line in the individual race.
"Everyone, get ready."
"Please come forward to draw lots, the top eight in the individual competition!"
Eight figures stepped onto the competition field from the two side passages.
Dai Yun'er waved and greeted Bai Yuan with a smile, only to be met with a cold stare from Gu Yue.
"This woman is still so hostile towards me."
Long Yue stood in front of the lottery box, his eyes bloodshot, his aura fierce and volatile, like a volcano about to erupt.
The frenzied energy of the Mountain Dragon King's bloodline was surging within him.
He now has only one thought in mind: to defeat all his other enemies.
After all, Monster Academy cannot afford to lose to him.
So many people are waiting for me to save face for them.
The draw ended, and the host's voice spread across the dome:
"Upper bracket: Tang Wulin vs. Su Mu, Bai Yuan vs. Dai Yueyan!"
The noise from the stands paused briefly for a moment.
The stands surged again.
"Lower bracket: Gu Yue vs. Dai Yun'er, Ye Xinglan vs. Long Yue!"
The roar exploded at that moment, spreading along the edge of the stands like a surging tide.
A full-scale attack: Shrek Academy versus Monster Academy.
The episode I've been waiting for is finally here!
All teams completed their respective positions at this moment; there were no internal battles, and every match was a cross-continental duel.
"Great deal! No civil war!"
"The organizers have really stepped up their game!"
"Let's try to wipe them all out!"
"See you at the top of the Monster Academy!"
The atmosphere in the rest area tensed slightly for a moment after the draw.
Long Yue glanced at the people around him, his voice low:
"This is our chance to prove ourselves."
"Don't hold back your strength, whether for your own sake or for the empire's."
No one spoke, but they all averted their gazes.
A moment later, the referee's voice echoed under the dome.
"The match begins—the first match of the upper bracket: Tang Wulin versus Su Mu!"
The roar from the stands surged up again at that moment.
They're here! They're here!
Doesn't the Fox King hit him casually???
Su Mu walked into the arena through the players' tunnel.
Five deep purple Soul Ring lit up beneath his feet.
Although no black Soul Ring have appeared yet, the five purple lights have accumulated a profound foundation, approaching the ten-thousand-year level.
His long hair turned white, and five fox tails spread out behind him, each one taller than him, surrounded by pale pink and dark purple Soul Power.
Five purple Soul Ring adorned the tip of the fox's tail, gleaming with a noble yet understated luster in the morning light.
Martial Soul Possession of Nine-Tailed Fox.
It is a top-tier mental control type Beast Martial Soul.
The inherited Martial Soul of the native inhabitants of the Star Luo Continent: the deeper the Soul Power, the more fox tails it has, with a maximum of nine tails.
"Big Brother Bai, who do you think will win?"
"This guy is pretty impressive!"
Xie Xie looked at the aggressive Fox King Su Mu on the field and asked Bai Yuan.
Tang Wulin
