Ten-Year-Old Soul Master? Bibi Dong Was Shocked Speechless

"Tianshui Team, huh."

"You're very strong. Unfortunately for you, you ran into us."

"You're going to lose."

Star Luo Team's captain was named Dai Tianyao, a rank forty-six Soul Ancestor.

"Is that so? I wouldn't be so sure."

Tianshui Team's captain was Shui Xian'er, a rank forty-five Soul Ancestor.

Although Shui Bing'er had faintly become Tianshui Team's top combat force thanks to her Ultimate Ice, her reputation was still too shallow. Besides, Tianshui Academy did not want the current Shui Bing'er to reveal too sharp an edge just yet.

And Shui Xian'er herself was strong enough, a true big sister in every sense.

"Hmph. We'll see."

Dai Tianyao snorted coldly and walked toward his own preparation area.

Only after watching Dai Tianyao leave did Shui Xian'er turn back around.

"Little brother Qinglian. We'll be counting on your performance in a bit."

"This year's Star Luo Academy is very strong. Because aside from Dai Tianyao, there's also Dai Davis. The two cousins, paired with their fiancées, amount to two pairs of Nether White Tigers!"

"In other words, among the seven members of this year's Star Luo Team, four of them can use the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Nether White Tiger," Shui Xian'er said meaningfully.

"Two pairs of Nether White Tigers? No wonder Star Luo Academy is so confident."

"And this Dai Davis seems to be Dai Mubai's elder brother. He's six years older than Dai Mubai. His current cultivation is rank thirty-nine. His talent is slightly inferior to Dai Mubai's. At this stage, it's only normal that he can take part in the academy tournament."

Li Qinglian murmured to himself.

This year's Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament was full of unfamiliar faces.

The geniuses from the original plot, like Feng Xiaotian, the Shrek Seven Devils, Hu Liena, and so on, would only appear in the tournament five years later.

Only after Shui Bing'er absorbed the immortal herb did her cultivation soar, and with her Ultimate Ice, while Huo Wu's Body Martial Soul underwent a second awakening—only these two could reveal their talent ahead of time.

"Little brother Qinglian, Bing'er, are you going to use your Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"

Shui Xian'er understood the strength of the two of them very well.

If they used that incomparably powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they would absolutely be able to easily overpower the so-called Nether White Tiger.

"No. Let's keep that as a trump card for Spirit Hall Academy."

"That Dai Tianyao—leave him to me."

Li Qinglian said.

His Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Shui Bing'er was indeed powerful.

But this was Spirit City!

Spirit Hall had Title Douluo as numerous as clouds. And ice and fire were actually elemental attributes that were rather easy to guard against.

Even if he and Shui Bing'er had ultimate martial souls, their cultivation was still only at Soul Elder level, while Spirit Hall Academy had a Soul King. If the other side also borrowed some magic tools to cut down part of the impact from the ice and fire, they would be difficult to deal with.

For now, as long as this trump card remained unused, Spirit Hall Academy would not take it seriously.

"My sword can do it."

Li Qinglian said.

His Sword Intent was enough to threaten a Soul King.

"Good! Then this person is yours. We'll deal with the rest."

Shui Xian'er knew that although Li Qinglian was young, he was definitely the strongest one on their side.

Amid the host's announcement, the two teams walked onto the arena at the same time.

Both sides took the stage to waves of cheers.

But very soon, Li Qinglian, this anomaly, was discovered, drawing bursts of startled cries.

"What's going on with Tianshui Team?"

"Tianshui Team actually has a male member."

"Doesn't Tianshui Academy only recruit women?"

For a time, the entire spectator stand was filled with clamor.

Tianshui Team had always been a team that drew an extremely high level of attention.

This time, Tianshui Team had even produced a goddess-level figure like Shui Bing'er.

Not only did ordinary spectators regard her as a goddess, many soul masters with decent cultivation also favored Shui Bing'er greatly.

In the soul master world, outstanding women were scarce.

At this moment, the host also raised his voice and shouted excitedly:

"Everyone noticed, right? This year's Tianshui Team has a male student. Most importantly, he's only ten years old. A ten-year-old boy has stepped onto the semifinals stage of the Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament..."

For a time, curses rose from all sides.

Quite a few people even believed that Tianshui Team knew they were no match for Star Luo Team, so they had simply given up and were going down swinging.

Still, Tianshui Team had only made it to the semifinals because of Shui Bing'er's strength.

But no matter how strong Shui Bing'er was, she was only a Soul Elder. Being able to drag Tianshui Team into the semifinals was already lucky enough.

Over on Star Luo Team's side.

When they heard that Li Qinglian was only ten years old, contempt instantly rose in their hearts.

"Haha. Looks like our Star Luo Team is going to win. Once we win this match, we'll be third place at the very least."

Dai Davis said with some excitement.

As the eldest prince of the Star Luo Empire, obtaining such an honor would be greatly beneficial to his prestige.

"That's right. Your Highness, in this battle, I truly can't think of any possibility that we could lose."

Dai Tianyao stood respectfully beside Dai Davis and said with a smile.

As a rank forty-six Soul Ancestor, after fusing martial souls with his fiancée, he could fight a Soul King!

Taking this match would be effortless.

"Li Qinglian... is this person really that simple?"

Zhu Zhuyun listened to Dai Davis and Dai Tianyao's remarks, her beautiful eyes turning toward the boy at the center of Tianshui Team.

She was surprised to discover that Li Qinglian seemed to have faintly become the central figure of Tianshui Team.

When something was abnormal, there had to be a reason.

Perhaps this boy named Li Qinglian was not as simple as he seemed.

On the VIP platform.

Bibi Dong reclined against the broad chair, her slender fingers lightly tapping the armrest. Her unfathomable purple eyes fell on the boy in the center of the arena, their gaze deep and unreadable.

Her beautiful eyes looked toward Li Qinglian, and her heart shook with astonishment.

Although Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu were stunning, for them to cultivate to rank thirty-six at fourteen or fifteen years old could still be considered normal.

But Li Qinglian was only ten years old, and he was already a Soul Elder?

"Elder Ju. Do we have information on this person?" Bibi Dong spoke.

Even Huo Wu from the past two days had not made her lose her composure this much.

Cultivating to Soul Elder at ten years old—this speed was almost comparable to Qian Renxue, who had been born with innate soul power at rank twenty.

"The records show that Li Qinglian is from Blazing Fire Academy. This person's talent is extremely monstrous, but Blazing Fire Academy has always deliberately hidden information about him, so almost no one knows of his existence."

Chrysanthemum Douluo flipped through the files as he spoke seriously.

"But if he is a monster from Blazing Fire Academy, why didn't he stay with Blazing Fire Academy, and instead came to Tianshui Team?" Bibi Dong's brows were tightly furrowed.

She realized that this year's Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament had already begun to slip somewhat beyond her control.

Shui Bing'er, Huo Wu, and now another Li Qinglian.

Outside Spirit Hall, why had so many monsters appeared?

And besides, what was someone from Blazing Fire Academy doing in Tianshui Team?

That made her even more unable to understand.

"Li Qinglian?"

"Li Qinglian..."

Half a step behind her, Hu Liena softly repeated the name.

She had an extremely beautiful pair of fox-like eyes, now narrowed slightly as her gaze passed through the noisy crowd and landed on that boy.

For some reason.

She vaguely felt that the rise of Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er was both related to Li Qinglian.

These two proud daughters of heaven were both extraordinarily talented, and both possessed abnormal strength that allowed them to fight above their level. One came from Blazing Fire Academy, and the other from Tianshui Academy. As for Li Qinglian, he was the one who could connect all of this together.
