"Beast Academy? How strong are they?" Lin Ya asked.
At Lin Ya's question, Third Seat Zhi Lin chuckled as well.
"They're certainly strong, but unfortunately, this is the promotion tournament."
"What do you mean?" Lin Ya took Beast Academy's lineup from Zhi Lin.
This list had not been officially provided; it had been gathered by the various academies themselves. But Heaven Dou Academy... was practically no different from the officials.
Xue Beng leaned in beside Lin Ya and looked it over.
"Two Soul Ancestors and five Soul Elders? They're even weaker than Elephant Armored Academy. How did they qualify?"
"Don't just look at their levels." Lin Ya pointed at the two names on it.
Meng Jiao: Martial Soul Dragon Cane, twenty-four years old, Level 42 Soul Ancestor.
Chao Wendao: Martial Soul Serpent Cane, twenty-four years old, Level 41 Soul Ancestor.
"If I'm not mistaken, the two of them have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, right?" Lin Ya asked Zhi Lin.
Third Seat Zhi Lin nodded. "That's right. The two come from the Dragon Serpent Clan, and their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Dragon Serpent Combined Strike, is incredibly powerful when unleashed. Even Soul Kings are no match for it. Unfortunately..."
Unfortunately, the promotion tournament was not the preliminaries. It was no longer a seven-versus-seven team battle, but a one-on-one individual relay battle.
Each academy sent out one student to fight. The loser was eliminated and replaced by the next one, continuing until all seven members of one academy had been eliminated.
In a one-on-one match, a Martial Soul Fusion Skill naturally could not appear.
"Then..." Lin Ya looked over the entire team, hesitating over whom to send out.
Sigh, two jokers and four twos. He did not even know how he could lose with a hand like this.
Yet at that
