In Heaven Dou City, at the Seven Treasure Hotel, Ning Fengzhi hosted Xue Qinghe, Lin Xuan, and others for a meal before the event ended.

As the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe was naturally busy with official duties and left. Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi also returned to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace with Xue Qinghe.

Lin Xuan and the others were taken back to the Blue Tyrant Academy by a carriage arranged by Xue Qinghe.

Inside the Blue Tyrant Academy, Flender enjoyed a hearty meal and drinks, feeling quite pleased with himself.

Liu Erlong then pulled Ye Mengyao along, and the two went to the courtyard for a midday rest.

The situation was different with Lin Xuan. Xiao Wu held his left arm, and Ning Rongrong held his right arm. The two of them carried him as if they were supporting him, walking towards the Back Hill.

Zhu Zhuqing quietly followed behind Lin Xuan, watching Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong supporting Lin Xuan as if they were afraid she would take him away. She couldn't help but smile, finding it quite amusing.

Xiao Wu pointed down the Back Hill.

"Lin Xuan, shall we rest on the grass Back Hill?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong immediately echoed her opinion.

"Good idea. Since we've already absorbed the Soul Ring this morning, it's good for us to take a rest. Zhuqing, you should come with us too."

Zhu Zhuqing gave a soft "hmm".

Lin Xuan glanced at Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, then naturally let them be.

"Good."

Tang San, who was at the end, looked at himself, then at the people around Lin Xuan, shook his head, and turned to head towards the room.

Before leaving, Tang San spoke,

"Lin Xuan, Xiao Wu, I'll go back and study Hidden Weapon first. You two go have fun."

Before Lin Xuan could speak, Xiao Wu replied.

"You can go now, Little San. I'm taking Lin Xuan with me."

Seeing this, Tang San waved his hand, somewhat amused and exasperated, and turned to walk into the room.

In the room, Tang San walked to the table in a few steps, sat down, took out a pen and paper, but did not start fiddling with the Hidden Weapon in his hand.

Tang San recalled that he had said before that he would give Lin Xuan and Xiao Wu the strongest mechanical Tang Sect Hidden Weapons when they got married!

In the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, the Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus is undoubtedly the pinnacle of mechanical Hidden Weapon!

Thinking this, Tang San began to recall his memories of the Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus.

A moment later, Tang San concentrated intently, the tip of his pen scratching across the paper. He became completely absorbed in drawing the Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus diagram.

Meanwhile, a cool breeze was blowing across the grassy slope at the back of the Back Hill.

In the center of the grass, there was a very luxurious Blue Blanket, which Ning Rongrong had just taken out of her Soul Tool.

Lin Xuan lay lazily in the middle of the blanket, his head resting on Zhu Zhuqing's long and voluptuous Jade Legs.

Lin Xuan rested his head on his lap and blinked. Originally, Lin Xuan wanted to see Zhuqing's pretty face, but his view was completely blocked by the full black leather jacket.

Everywhere the eye could see were full curves and Zhuqing's naturally beautiful half-face.

Lin Xuan looked at Zhu Zhuqing and sighed inwardly. Putting everything else aside, Zhuqing's stats were indeed far superior to those of Xiao Wu and Rongrong.

Zhu Zhuqing kept her head down, naturally noticing Lin Xuan's blatant gaze.

She took a deep breath, and instead of being shy, she held her head high and puffed out her chest, allowing Lin Xuan to see her even more clearly.

This usually aloof girl was now filled with tenderness and joy in her eyes.

Sitting next to Lin Xuan, Ning Rongrong was indeed resting her chin on her hand, her gaze following Lin Xuan's upwards, her brows furrowed.

Then, Ning Rongrong looked down at her own reflection and became even angrier!

Ning Rongrong spoke angrily.

"Lin Xuan, your eyes are practically glued to Zhuqing! Watch your posture!"

Xiao Wu, sitting opposite Ning Rongrong, burst into laughter.

"Rongrong, the gap between us and Zhuqing here is truly insurmountable. Just accept it."

Zhu Zhuqing covered her mouth and chuckled softly. She said gently,

"Rongrong, Xiao Wu, Lin Xuan likes big ones, didn't you know?"

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong both exclaimed in unison, "Lin Xuan!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan, who had been feeling somewhat drowsy, instantly became alert.

Lin Xuan coughed lightly, then sat up abruptly. He looked at Zhu Zhuqing, then at Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu, and said...

"Well... well... big has its advantages, small has its advantages too. As long as it's you, any shape is fine."

Ning Rongrong crossed her arms and gave a soft snort, "You pass!"

Xiao Wu also learned from Ning Rongrong.

You pass!

Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing covered her mouth and chuckled, "Rongrong, Xiao Wu, you two are really..."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't join in the playful fighting with the two. Instead, she moved to Lin Xuan's side. Seeing this, Lin Xuan gently hugged Zhu Zhuqing and lay her down on the blanket, closing his eyes to rest.

Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu frowned as they looked at Lin Xuan and Zhu Zhuqing. Following Zhu Zhuqing's example, they moved closer, and the four of them fell asleep on the blanket.

Time flies, and the month-long break has quickly come to an end.

The Promotion Tournament rounds were not held at the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena, but rather at an open-air arena set up within the military camp outside the Imperial Hunting Grounds.

The Promotion Tournament, also known as individual matches, involve teams taking turns playing until all opponents are defeated or surrender.

Furthermore, the Promotion Tournament do not eliminate teams; they simply rank the fifteen teams that advanced from the Qualifying Tournament.

Today is the first day of the Heaven Dou Division's Promotion Tournament.

In the rest area of the Blue Tyrant Academy, Xiao Wu leaned against Lin Xuan, bored. She said speechlessly,

"The Promotion Tournament are an individual elimination tournament, so Rongrong and Jiangzhu can't participate."

Ning Rongrong sat on a chair to the side.

"I feel fine. Jiangzhu and I can finally rest!"

"As for the competition, with you guys here, we can definitely win easily. Our Lin Xuan is Five-Ring Soul King!"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly, agreeing with Ning Rongrong's words. Lin Xuan was no ordinary Soul Master; he could not only amplify his own abilities but also unleash elemental attacks.

Within the Heaven Dou Empire region, no one was a match for Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan yawned.

"Yes, the individual competition mainly depends on individual strength, so we only need to pay attention to Huo Wu, Feng Xiaotian, and Yu Tianxin."

"As for Shui Bing'er from the Skywater Academy, her strength in the individual Shui Bing'er will be somewhat diminished, but she should not be underestimated."

Tang San nodded in agreement with Lin Xuan's analysis. It was indeed true. During the Qualifying Tournament, everyone had already figured out the strength of the other teams, so the Promotion Tournament would naturally be easier.

At this moment, Ye Mengyao slowly approached.

"You guys are lucky."

"Our first opponent is the Barak Academy team."

Upon hearing this, Tai Tan immediately clenched his fingers.

"Team Barak? That was easy, wasn't it? We easily defeated them in the fourth round or something!"

Tang San then handed the appearance order list from Ye Mengyao to Lin Xuan.

"Lin Xuan, the Promotion Tournament will be a seven-person elimination tournament. If someone loses, they'll be replaced. Teacher Ye and I have discussed it, Rongrong and Jiangzhu won't be participating."

"The remaining seven people will appear in the following order: Jing Ling, Huang Yuan, Tai Long, Zhuqing, myself, Xiao Wu, and Lin Xuan."
