The Imperial Fighting Team First Squad took the field in the third round.
Habit had become second nature: the moment they appeared, screams rose like roaring mountains and crashing seas, loud enough to give anyone a headache. There was no question about it-these were all welcomes for Li Si (Lin Qian). Whenever he competed, tickets sold out and every match drew a packed house.
The fangirls' screams rose one after another. Even after the announcer shouted himself hoarse, he could not dampen their enthusiasm.
The livelier it became, the more resentful Canghui Academy grew. Before they had even lined up properly, they were already at odds with the Imperial Fighting Team First Squad, glaring at them with vicious eyes that threatened to bore holes through their bodies.
The Imperial Fighting Team First Squad had its usual lineup. Canghui's seven members were all male, dressed in matching moon-white outfits, their presence subdued. One look told you they were seasoned, sneaky bastards.
As both sides entered, Blazing Fire Academy was coming down from the platform after finishing its match. Lin Qian did not notice them at all, but they spotted him immediately. Huo Wu in particular stared intently, her eyes fixed on one person alone.
The other Soul King was taking the field?
After discovering that he paid her no attention whatsoever, she looked behind him and found Gu Yuena standing beside him, behaving intimately.
Humiliation + jealousy (?) left her both angry and bitter. Canghui Academy was weaker than even Blazing Fire, let alone Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Yet they had sent out two Soul Kings this time. Who were they looking down on?
In truth, she was simply overthinking things. Gu Yuena had taken the field because she was worried about her boyfriend, afraid Canghui Academy's illusion realm might hurt
