Shrek Academy versus Skywater Academy
Currently, the top five teams in the Preliminary Round are: Blazing Fire Academy, Skywater Academy, Godwind Academy, Thunderclap Academy, and Shrek Academy.
Although the competition still has one round left, it's a foregone conclusion that these five colleges will advance.
Elephant Armored Academy, one of the Five Elemental Academies, has already lost to all five of the top-ranked teams and has no hope of advancing.
In the final round, among the top five teams, Blazing Fire Academy, Thunderclap Academy, and Godwind Academy all faced relatively weak opponents. Their victories were virtually guaranteed.
In the final round of the Preliminary Round, the Organizing Committee specially arranged for the top five teams, along with the Elephant Armored Academy, to compete in the same group, ensuring a thrilling final Preliminary Round for the audience.
The showdown between the Shrek Academy and Skywater Academy was undoubtedly the most important event, and it was naturally arranged to take place on the main arena in the center.
Inside the rest area, the Five Elemental Academies and Shrek Academy were quietly waiting to make their appearance. Of course, there were also four other academies serving as supporting figures.
It's worth mentioning that Cullen Academy didn't give up on the Blazing Fire Academy, which earned Huo Lei's respect.
The time for the final round of matches is drawing ever closer.
Huo Lei sat in the rest area, bored, his gaze sweeping over a group of women. They were all dressed in blue team uniforms and were all beautiful; it was Skywater Academy. This was undoubtedly related to their academy's admission requirements.
Each of the Five Elemental Academies has different requirements for recruiting students. However, the Skywater Academy has the most stringent requirements, because in addition to possessing a water-attribute Martial Soul, they have two additional requirements.
First, only female students are accepted. Second, they must be beautiful.
At this moment, Huo Lei's gaze was fixed on Shui Bing'er, who was very close by.
Shui Bing'er is about 1.65 meters tall and has a very well-proportioned figure; she is neither exaggeratedly plump nor petite.
Her long, light blue hair cascaded down her back, and her fair face was adorned with delicate features. At first glance, she didn't seem particularly stunning, but upon closer inspection, her beauty became increasingly apparent. She didn't look very old either, definitely no more than twenty.
Shui Bing'er seemed to notice Huo Lei's gaze and looked at him as well. Their eyes met, and Shui Bing'er gave him a sweet smile. Huo Lei smiled and nodded in return.
At this point, staff members notified each college to begin entering.
When the Five Elemental Academies and Shrek Academy entered the arena at the same time, the entire Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena erupted in cheers.
Today is the last day of the Preliminary Round, and also the final round of matches.
Tickets for today's competition between the Five Elemental Academies and Shrek Academy are several times more expensive than usual. Despite this, tickets are still extremely difficult to obtain.
The VIP commentator announced loudly, "The final round of this Preliminary Round is about to begin. First, let's turn our attention to the right-hand stage, where Blazing Fire Academy faces Cullen Academy. Cullen Academy's courage is truly admirable. Facing the undefeated Blazing Fire Academy, they did not back down but chose to fight. How long can they hold out against the Blazing Fire Academy? Let's wait and see. On the left-hand stage, Elephant Armored Academy faces Yuesi Academy... Finally, let's focus our attention on the main arena in the center. This will be the most exciting match of the day: Shrek Academy versus Skywater Academy."
At this moment, the referee's voice rang out, "Both teams, please bow."
The seven members of the Blazing Fire Academy Team bowed to the seven members of the Cullen Academy team. Then, both sides activated their respective Martial Soul.
The Cullen Academy team has only one Four-Ring Soul Ancestor, while the other six members are all three-ring Soul Masters, with their Soul Ring Configuration being optimal.
Huo Lei stood at the back of the group, unleashing and immediately retracting his Flame Martial Soul. He then stood still, adopting a spectator's expression, his face not only devoid of any pressure but also beaming with smiles. He completely disregarded Cullen Academy, believing the remaining six members of the Blazing Fire Academy were more than capable of securing victory.
Upon seeing Huo Lei's five Soul Rings, all seven members of the Cullen Academy team swallowed hard, but their eyes remained resolute.
Huo Lei smiled and looked at the opposite side, saying loudly, "Listen up, Cullen Academy team. Your courage is commendable. To express my respect, I will not lift a finger in this match. You only need to defeat the six members of the Blazing Fire Academy to win."
The captain of the Cullen Academy team emphasized, "Huo Lei, you said it yourself, so don't go back on your word later."
Huo Lei didn't respond to the other side, but instead instructed his teammates, "Teammates, this is the last match of the Preliminary Round. Play with the Cullen Academy team a little longer. I still need to watch the other academy matches. We can win after the Shrek Academy and Skywater Academy have finished their game."
At this moment, seeing that both sides had finished releasing their Martial Soul, the referee immediately announced, "The match begins."
The Blazing Fire Academy team charged towards the Cullen Academy. Huo Lei, on the other hand, turned to look at the central main arena where Skywater Academy was located.
Shrek Academy's lineup was the same as when they faced Blazing Fire Academy: Dai Mubai, Tang San, Xiao Wu, Tai Long, Huang Yuan, Jing Ling, and Jiang Zhu.
"Attack!" Tang San gave the command, Dai Mubai, Tai Long, and Huang Yuan charged out simultaneously.
Xiao Wu and Jing Ling also circled around from both sides. Tang San instantly cast Blue Silver Grass and tied it around the waists of his five teammates.
As Dai Mubai and his two companions charged forward, the three Power Attack System Battle Soul Master from the Skywater Academy also moved. However, neither side released their Soul Skill immediately, instead pressing forward against their opponent's pressure.
Tang San activated his First Soul Skill, sending three strands of Blue Silver Grass Entanglement the three Power Attack System Soul Master facing him.
At this moment, Shui Bing'er's Yellow Soul Ring lit up.
"First Soul Skill, Ice Seal!"
A flash of icy blue light, and Tang San, Dai Mubai, Tai Long, and Huang Yuan were instantly frozen.
Upon seeing her five teammates controlled by Tang San's Blue Silver Grass, Shui Bing'er immediately activated her Second Soul Ring, releasing a total of five ice rings that landed on three Power Attack System Soul Master and two Agility Attack System Soul Master.
A miraculous scene unfolded: the five Soul Master shrouded in ice rings suddenly gained a layer of crystalline blue armor. As the three Power Attack System Soul Master exerted their power simultaneously, the Blue Silver Grass on their bodies began to crack.
Boom! A cloud of ice crystals scattered and flew everywhere. Dai Mubai was the first to break free from the Ice Seal. He shouted, "White Tiger Bodyguard Shield, White Tiger Fierce Light Wave!"
While protecting himself, Dai Mubai attacked the Water Ice Man.
"Xue Wu, begin." Shui Bing'er showed no fear in the face of Dai Mubai's attack. She first gave the order to her teammates, and then added a layer of blue armor to herself.
Dai Mubai's attack only made Shui Bing'er take a step back, but she was not harmed in any way.
At this moment, both teams broke free from their restraints.
Tang San of Shrek Academy Team had just broken free from the Ice Seal when Tang San Shui Bing'er activated her First Soul Skill again, Ice Seal him up once more before he could react.
"Well done! Shui Bing'er's control is excellent." Huo Lei was watching the game with great enthusiasm from his own platform, showing no concern for his team whatsoever.
Tai Long wasn't idle either; he got into a fight with a female Soul Master from the Skywater Academy.
As the two sides began to clash, the black-haired woman at the rear of the Skywater Academy Team moved. Strangely, she wasn't attacking, but rather dancing in place. This woman was none other than Shui Bing'er Xue Wu.
"Well done! The only flaw is the lack of musicians," Huo Lei muttered to himself.
