Star Luo Royal Academy

The next day arrived in the blink of an eye. Early in the morning, the students of the Blue Tyrant Academy were all ready to go, and led by Yu Xiaogang and a few others, they headed to the competition venue for the day.

The Great Soul Arena of Spirit City is extremely large, with towering outer walls surrounding it, and long queues had formed early on at several entrances.

The audience held various flags, and vendors hawked their wares along the street; the lively sounds could be heard from afar.

In this tournament, only the final battle on the last day will be held in the Pope's Palace.

The rest of the matches were held in this Great Soul Arena, which can hold tens of thousands of people.

Ma Hongjun looked up at the venue, then at the crowded people outside, and clicked his tongue in disapproval.

"This place is anything but deserted compared to Heaven Dou City."

"Of course."

Oscar, hands behind his head, said, "This is the Grand Finale. The tickets for those who can sit inside have probably already sold out."

"After Brother Jun finishes his match today, it'll probably be even harder to snag a ticket."

Ma Hongjun chuckled.

Dai Mubai glanced at him. "Wipe your mouth clean first."

Ma Hongjun froze, quickly wiped his mouth, and found nothing there. He then glared at the source.

"Boss Dai, you lied to me!"

Everyone smiled, and the group walked along the athletes' passage, soon entering the rest area.

The cheers outside could still be clearly heard through the walls.

Just around the corner ahead, another group came towards us.

The young man in the lead was tall with blond hair flowing down his shoulders, and his eyebrows and eyes bore a resemblance to Dai Mubai's.

However, compared to Dai Mubai, his expression was more arrogant, and as he walked, his gaze casually swept over the signs on the doors of the rest rooms on both sides.

Beside him, a tall, slender woman with a cold and beautiful face held his arm.

Dai Mubai stopped in his tracks.

The young man opposite him also saw him, and then a slow smile appeared on his lips.

"Mubai?"

Dai Weisi stopped a few steps away, looked him up and down, and his smile deepened.

"It really is you. I heard that Blue Tyrant Academy has been on a winning streak, but I didn't expect you to actually make it this far."

"What, you see your brother and don't even say hello?"

Dai Mubai said calmly, "If that's all you want to hear, let's talk about it after the competition."

Dai Weisi narrowed his eyes slightly; he was different from how he remembered.

In the past, this younger brother would always unconsciously tense up when he saw me.

Even though he wouldn't admit defeat verbally, the wariness and fear in his eyes couldn't be hidden from him.

But today, Dai Mubai was unusually calm.

"It seems that winning a few games these days has given you a lot more confidence."

Dai Weisi glanced at Tang San and the others behind him, his tone becoming somewhat indifferent.

"However, you'd better understand that we're not one of those useless teams from the Heaven Dou Division."

"Getting this far and winning the game against us are two different things."

Ma Hongjun scoffed, "Oh, you've got quite the nerve."

He took a half step forward, his gaze shifting from Dai Weisi: "Anyone who didn't know better would think the championship had already been awarded to you."

One member of the Star Luo Empire team immediately turned cold.

"Who do you think you are, daring to speak to our captain like that?"

"Once you get on stage, you'll see what I am."

Ma Hongjun grinned, and the two teams' eyes met, instantly creating a tense atmosphere in the tunnel.

Zhu Zhuyun seemed oblivious to everyone else, her gaze fixed on Zhu Zhuqing.

"Zhu Zhuqing, you look much more energetic than before."

She released Dai Weisi's arm and chuckled softly, "I thought you'd gone to Heaven Dou with him and forgotten what you were supposed to be doing."

Zhu Zhuqing looked up at her.

"I remember it very clearly."

"Oh?"

That's why I'm standing here.

Zhu Zhuyun's smile faltered slightly.

Zhu Zhuqing's voice remained calm. "Sister, once we're on stage, I'll show you my current abilities!"

"OK."

Zhu Zhuyun nodded slowly, but her eyes turned cold.

"I'd also like to see what you've actually learned these past few years."

Dai Weisi glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, then immediately turned back to Dai Mubai.

"In that case, see you on the field."

He took a step closer and lowered his voice.

"Mubai, this time there's nowhere for you to hide."

Dai Mubai did not back down, but looked directly into his eyes.

"I don't plan to hide anymore."

The two stared at each other for a moment, then Dai Weisi sneered and led his team past.

Only after the group from the Star Luo Royal Academy disappeared around the corner did Ma Hongjun spit in that direction.

"These idiots really think they're so great!"

"Wait until Fatty comes on stage, and see how I teach them a lesson."

Oscar patted him on the shoulder. "Okay, just remember that."

"Bullshit! When has Brother Jun ever been afraid?"

Dugu Yan looked at Dai Mubai, a hint of amusement in her eyes. "It seems he really doesn't know."

Dai Mubai nodded. If Dai Weisi had known about the Holy King inheritance, he would never have reacted that way.

As for why the message didn't reach him, that's no longer important.

Ma Hongjun burst out laughing again.

"That's perfect, give him a big one later!"

Yu Xiaogang walked in from outside and said, "Alright, let's go in first."

"Yes!"

The crowd responded and entered the lounge one after another.

The wait didn't last long.

As the staff came to inform them, the seven contestants from the Blue Tyrant Academy stood up one by one.

Oscar remained by the lounge door and waved to the others.

"Boss Dai, Zhu Zhuqing, we're waiting for you to come back and celebrate!"

Dai Mubai raised his hand and bumped fists with him.

"Wait."

It's clear that the Oscar drew a blank card this year.

The group moved forward along the passage.

The closer they got to the exit, the clearer the sounds outside became, until the moment they stepped out of the shadows, a deafening roar of cheers erupted!

"Blue Tyrant! Blue Tyrant!"

"Heaven Dou! Heaven Dou!"

On the other side, the supporters of the Star Luo Empire were not to be outdone, waving flags and shouting loudly.

"Star Luo Empire! Star Luo Empire!"

"Star Luo Royal Academy, victory is assured!"

The circular stands were packed with people, with colorful flags forming a continuous line. The huge arena in the center had been cleared out, and all the protective facilities around it had been activated.

The host stood on a high place, holding Amplifying Soul Tool, and his voice resounded throughout the venue.

"Next up is today's highly anticipated match!"

"The Blue Tyrant Academy Team, who stormed through the Preliminary Tournament to advance as the top Ranking Tournament and remain undefeated to this day!"

As Tang San and his companions stepped onto the arena, the cheers from the audience rose even higher.

The host raised his hand and pointed to the other side.

"And their opponent is the formidable Star Luo Royal Academy Team, representing the Star Luo Empire directly into the finals!"

"Can the undefeated Blue Tyrant Academy continue their winning streak? And can Star Luo Royal Academy end this winning streak today?"

Let's wait and see!

Dai Weisi led his team onto the ring and stopped on the other side.

The two teams faced each other across a wide-open space.

Dai Mubai stood at the very front, with Zhu Zhuqing beside him.
