Luck or strength? The final battle against Skywater!

In the VIP seats and spectator area, the teachers leading the teams from different colleges had varying expressions.

Feng Xiaotian was carried off the stage by the substitutes of the Divine Wind Team, blood still trickling from his mouth, and he was unconscious.

On the Blazing Fire Academy's side, Huo Wu looked at the defeated Godwind Academy with utter shock.

Huo Wushuang shook his head and whispered a word of advice from the side:

"Little sister, stop looking."

Feng Xiaotian's thirty-six consecutive strikes were abruptly cut short by Xiao Wu, and Lin Xuan hadn't even revealed all his Talismans. This Blue Tyrant Team, our defeat was not unjust."

Huo Wu bit her lower lip, didn't reply, and turned to walk quickly back into the inner corridor.

At the end of the passage, Flender and Liu Erlong were already waiting at the door.

Flender held a thick stack of betting slips in his hand, his fingers moving rapidly across the paper, the abacus beads clicking in his mind.

"Hahaha, a winning streak, still a winning streak! The odds are low, but there's also the Imperial Gold Soul Coin subsidy, so it's still a pretty good return!"

Flender pushed up his black-rimmed Crystal Glasses and grinned from ear to ear.

Liu Erlong glanced at him, then raised her hand and slapped Flender on the back, causing the Agility Attack System Soul Sage to stagger forward half a step.

"You're so obsessed with money, aren't you? The kids just finished a tough battle, and you didn't even offer a word of comfort."

Ye Mengyao stood to the side, holding a pink and white Nine-Heart Begonia in her palm. Several gentle streams of light emanated from the petals and fell on everyone.

The gentle, healing power seeped into her skin, and the soreness in Xiao Wu's waist and abdominal muscles quickly subsided.

"Thank you, Aunt Ye!"

Xiao Wu let go of Lin Xuan's arm and called out sweetly.

Ye Mengyao nodded slightly, her gaze falling on the group of young people her daughter Ye Lingling was on good terms with, her tone gentle:

"Everyone has a good constitution and wasn't seriously injured, just a bit too much Soul Power. They'll be fine after some rest and recuperation at the Side Courtyard."

Ning Rongrong stepped forward, grabbed Ye Mengyao's sleeve, and shook it:

"Aunt Ye, your Nine-Heart Begonia is even more comfortable than my Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Every time I finish a match, my whole body feels warm and cozy."

Ye Mengyao was amused by her and reached out to tidy Ning Rongrong's wind-blown hair.

"As long as Rongrong is happy."

The news that Godwind Academy had been overturned spread rapidly throughout the streets and alleys of Heaven Dou City.

Blue Tyrant Academy, which was already quite famous in the past, has now defeated Blazing Fire Academy and Godwind Academy in succession, and has become the biggest dark horse in the entire Qualifying Tournament. Wherever they go, they are surrounded by crowds of commoner Soul Master.

In the eleventh round of the competition, Blue Tyrant Academy faced off against an ordinary team from a duchy.

Lin Xuan and Xiao Wu watched directly from the audience. Tang San didn't even use his fourth Soul Skill. Tai Long and Huang Yuan, like two raging bulls, charged ahead, while Zhu Zhuqing flanked them. The battle was over in less than two minutes.

On the other hand, the atmosphere at the Godwind Academy was extremely tense.

Feng Xiaotian had been slammed into a crater by Xiao Wu the day before, and he was still seething with resentment.

In the eleventh round of the draw, they faced Thunderclap Academy. The entire Divine Wind Team went berserk, unleashing Wind Blade like they were free. They withstood the raging Lightning and utterly defeated Thunderclap Academy's main force.

The match was extremely fierce. Although Divine Wind won, he also suffered heavy losses, and Yu Tianxin was cut all over by the Wind Blade, with two ribs broken.

This directly benefited Blue Tyrant Academy.

In the twelfth round, Blue Tyrant Academy's opponent was Thunderclap Academy.

Yu Tianxin lay on a stretcher, her chest wrapped in thick bandages. Looking at the Blue Tyrant Academy, all of them were in high spirits and didn't even have a scratch. She immediately told the team leader to raise the white flag and forfeit.

Tai Long rubbed his fists in the audience, complaining that it wasn't enough, but Liu Erlong slapped him on the back of the head, making him shut up obediently.

The thirteenth round was another one-sided affair, with the Blue Tyrant Academy securing their thirteenth consecutive victory without lifting a finger.

Fourteen Qualifying Tournament, and now only one round remains.

Once they overcome this final hurdle, they can advance to the Promotion Tournament with a perfect record.

Blue Tyrant Academy's final opponent in the Qualifying Tournament was Skywater Academy.

Nighttime, at the Back Hill Courtyard Blue Tyrant Academy.

In the courtyard, several plates of freshly washed fruit were placed next to the stone table. Lin Xuan sat back on a stone chair, with Xiao Wu sitting close to him, holding a jujube in her hand and casually offering it to Lin Xuan's lips.

Lin Xuan opened his mouth and ate it, while casually rubbing his fingers against Xiao Wu's warm fingertips.

Xiao Wu withdrew her hand slightly, her ears turning a little red, but she pressed her body even closer to Lin Xuan's arm.

Sitting opposite her, Ning Rongrong rested her chin on her hands, watching the intimate interaction between the two.

Ning Rongrong pouted and said coquettishly:

"Hey, you two, can you tone it down a bit? We're having a tactical meeting right now."

Zhu Zhuqing sat beside Ning Rongrong, dressed in a form-fitting gold outfit that perfectly showcased her tall and voluptuous figure.

She didn't make any jokes, but just quietly watched Xiao Wu and Lin Xuan.

Tang San coughed lightly, drawing everyone's attention back, and spread out a booklet filled with densely packed information on the stone table.

"Skywater Academy currently boasts a record of twelve wins and one loss, with their only defeat coming against Divine Wind."

"Their team consists entirely of female Soul Master, and their teamwork is extremely seamless. The one we need to be most wary of is their captain, Shui Bing'er, a level 43 control-type Battle Soul Ancestor Martial Soul is the top-tier Beast Martial Soul, the Ice Phoenix."

"Her first Soul Skill, ' Ice Seal,' is an instant-cast skill with almost no casting animation. Once locked on, the target will be frozen instantly."

"Instant control is really annoying."

Tai Long sat on the outermost stone bench, scratching his head.

"If I, a big guy like me, get frozen at the start of the game, wouldn't I become a sitting duck?"

Tang San turned a page of the record, his expression becoming more serious:

"That's not the most troublesome part. Skywater Academy's Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu possess the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Ice and Snow Drifting."

In the Soul Master World, Martial Soul Fusion Skill have always been a trump card in battles against opponents of higher ranks.

The combined attack unleashed by the two Soul Ancestor is powerful enough to threaten even Soul King and Soul Emperor.

Seeing this, Ning Rongrong looked at Lin Xuan and Tang San:

"What can we do then? If Skywater Academy starts with a powerful attack that covers the entire arena, we won't have anywhere to hide."

Lin Xuan patted Xiao Wu's hand, which was wrapped around his arm, and spoke slowly and deliberately:

"It's alright, with my Fire Talisman, we are immune to both ice and fire."

Xiao Wu raised her chin and said with a smile:

"Exactly, those chilling blasts won't even get us frozen. No way!"

Lin Xuan stopped joking and reminded him,

"Resistance is one thing, but the damage is real."

"The physical impact and tearing force unleashed by Martial Soul Fusion Skill are no joke. If you get hit squarely, it's normal to break several bones. Underestimating your opponent will lead to a huge loss."

Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes at him:

So you got to say all the good and bad things by yourself.

Tang San looked at Lin Xuan, his tone tinged with emotion:

Lin Xuan is right.

However, having Lin Xuan on our team is our biggest natural advantage. You control the Five Elements Talismans, handling ice and fire with ease. Skywater Academy's attempt to suppress us in terms of attributes is simply wishful thinking."

At this point, Tang San continued:

"As long as we can break their formation before they complete their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, or withstand this wave of attack head-on, victory will be completely secured."

Xiao Wu blinked her big eyes and volunteered:

"That's easy. I can try using my fourth Soul Skill, Invincible Golden Body, to stand at the front. Three seconds of absolute defense, no blizzard can penetrate me."

"Your Golden Body is your trump card for survival; you can only use it three times a day."

Lin Xuan reached out and gently stroked the tip of her pert nose.

"The duration of Martial Soul Fusion Skill often exceeds three seconds. Once your Golden Body ends, the blizzard will still be raging. Who will come to rescue you then?"

Xiao Wu rubbed her nose in pain and muttered softly:

"I was just trying to save some energy."

Zhu Zhuqing spoke up coldly from the side:

"None of Rongrong, Jiangzhu, or I possess pure defensive skills. Forcing ourselves to withstand a fusion attack with our bare bodies is too risky."

All eyes turned back to Lin Xuan and Tang San.

Lin Xuan nodded; Support Soul Master indeed couldn't withstand Martial Soul Fusion Skill head-on. He looked at Tang San, who remained calm, and asked:

"Little San, since you've brought this up, you must have some thoughts on it. Tell me your thoughts."
