In the square before the Supreme Pontiff Palace, tens of thousands of eyes focused on the Soul Fighting platform at its center.
The host announced loudly, "The first round of the Grand Finals: Heaven Dou Royal Academy versus Star Luo Royal Academy!"
In the Imperial Fighting Team's seating area, Lin Ye rose calmly. Instead of heading toward the passage, he turned to face the team.
"Zhu Zhuqing, Rongrong, Lingling, Shi Brothers, Osler, Yu Feng."
"You'll take this match."
At his words, a spark immediately ignited in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes.
Had this moment finally arrived?
"Yes, Instructor (Brother Lin Ye)!"
All seven answered together and strode onto the platform.
The seven members from Star Luo entered at the same time.
Dai Weisi's golden hair fell over his shoulders, his gaze fixed on Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuyun wore a tight black outfit. Her figure was even more exaggerated than Zhu Zhuqing's-a veritable sea of surging waves.
She stared fixedly at her younger sister, an icy curve lifting her lips.
In the stands, Dai Mubai gripped the railing tightly, anger and resentment churning within him.
What right did she have to stand there?
This clash between royals should have belonged to him.
"Heh, my good-for-nothing little sister. Looks like you've done pretty well for yourself in the Imperial Fighting Team."
Zhu Zhuyun looked amused. "Unfortunately, you've utterly disgraced our family."
Dai Weisi said arrogantly, "Zhu Zhuqing, did you think joining the Imperial Fighting Team would let you escape your fate? Hmph, trash will always be trash. Today, the Star Luo Empire's rules will be enforced! Zhu Yun!"
"I know, Weisi. Let's knock some sense into her!" Zhu Zhuyun sneered.
"Let the match begin!"
At the referee's command, a protective barrier of light immediately rose around the arena.
"Roar!" Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun
