After being specially trained by Wang Hao, Salas's personality differed from his original destiny; he became absolutely upright and incorruptible.
Since the competition stipulates that teams will be randomly matched, he would never resort to underhanded tactics and would even ensure absolute fairness in this process.
On the third day, the Blazing Fire Team faced off against the Botanical Team. Both sides tacitly agreed to send out the weakest member of their team first.
The members of the Blazing Fire Team were stunned when they saw their opponent summon three Soul Ring after he summoned his Martial Soul. They even rubbed their eyes in disbelief, and were even more astonished after confirming that it was not an illusion.
" Soul Elder?"
Not only were the members of the Blazing Fire Team stunned, but everyone watching was also stunned.
It should be noted that Wang Hao's influence led Yu Xiaogang to delve into many theories of Soul Master cultivation, resulting in a significant increase in the Soul Power cultivation of students in various academies.
In the original course of events, the minimum cultivation level for this Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament was Soul Elder, but now the Zhunti to the Soul Ancestor level.
The Plant Academy is a higher academy second only to the Five Elemental Academies, so theoretically all its members should be able to reach the Soul Ancestor level.
How come a woman with the cultivation level of a Soul Elder has appeared now?
Even though the opponent is very close to the Soul Ancestor level, he is still just a Soul Elder.
Moreover, judging from his appearance, the opponent should be very close to the age limit of 25 for the competition.
To have only cultivated to the Soul Elder level at such a young age is truly a sign of poor aptitude.
"Little sister, is this the Botanical Team you were talking about? I don't see anything scary about that older sister at all?"
After her initial shock, Huo Wushuang looked at her younger sister Huo Wu beside her, genuinely puzzled by the situation.
"Don't underestimate Sister Jing Ni. If it weren't for the fact that your Martial Soul attributes are incompatible, you wouldn't have fared well if you had gone up against her."
Huo Wu did not Jing Ni, who was only at the Soul Elder level, in the slightest. In the past month, she had fought against many members of the Botanical Team and knew that Jing Ni was a tough opponent.
Only she possesses the fire attribute, which greatly counters the opponent's Martial Soul. If it were Soul King with other attributes, that girl might have turned the tables on them.
"What is the opponent's Martial Soul? Is it the longsword in her hand?"
Huo Wushuang straightened up and looked solemnly at Jing Ni, who had remained silent in the arena.
" Jing Ni's Martial Soul is Swordleaf Grass, a Trash Martial Soul of the same level as Blue Silver Grass. Her Innate Soul Power is only level one, and she only cultivated to level twenty-nine when she was twenty-one years old. With this kind of talent, she could only be a Soul Elder at most."
However, the sudden appearance of that malevolent herb three years ago made the Swordleaf Grass, a seemingly Trash Martial Soul, extremely sought after.
However, Swordleaf Grass is inherently a Trash Martial Soul, and its Innate weakness is difficult to change. Of the million people Awakening Swordleaf Grass Martial Soul, not even one may possess Innate Soul Power.
Jing Ni was one in a million, and was thus exceptionally promoted from one of the few junior colleges under the Plant Academy for special training.
Jing Ni's strength is now quite formidable, not much weaker than that of an average Soul King.
While Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang were exchanging words, the battle below began. Surprisingly, the one who attacked first was not a member of the seemingly powerful Blazing Fire Team, but Jing Ni, who only had the cultivation of Soul Elder.
Wearing a tight-fitting suit, Jing Ni rushed forward with her Martial Soul Swordleaf Grass, which was transformed from grass, and arrived in front of her opponent in the blink of an eye. Her Swordleaf Grass was a Inazuma thrust.
The pink Soul Power swirling around the sword was extremely condensed, coalescing into an incomparably sharp sword aura.
However, the members of the Blazing Fire Team were not to be trifled with; they immediately unleashed their Soul Skill, turning an area of several feet into a sea of fire.
Unfortunately, facing this scorching sea of fire, Jing Ni did not retreat but advanced. With Sword One, pink sword energy slashed out, directly splitting the sea of fire in two and forcibly cutting a path.
A direct route to the opponent!
Seeing Jing Ni rushing towards them, the members of the Blazing Fire Team remained calm and immediately unleashed their next Soul Skill.
A torrent of flames spewed from its mouth, the intense heat causing the temperature of the entire area to rise by tens of degrees in an instant.
This is his fourth Soul Skill, a powerful Soul Skill that is very close to the ten-thousand-year level. Even Soul King would have to temporarily avoid its edge.
Unfortunately, he chose the wrong opponent this time.
Faced with the attack, Jing Ni retreated instead of advancing. Pink picked up the weapon and unleashed another burst of power, forcefully cleaving the torrent of flames in two. Before her opponent could react, her Sword One trembled, and the Blazing Fire Team member's limbs were instantly severed.
After doing all this, Jing Ni calmly withdrew from the sea of fire and leaped back to the stands where the Botanical Team was located.
"That idiot!"
Seeing her teammate get instantly killed by someone else's sword, Huo Wu covered her face with her hand, feeling very embarrassed.
Although she knew Jing Ni was very strong, she was still a Soul Ancestor, a whole realm and a Soul Ring Soul Skill apart. She should be able to hold out for at least a few minutes!
But look at that, from the start to the end of the battle, it only took ten seconds. How can you, a man, finish so quickly?
"It's Swordleaf Grass!"
Tang San, who possessed the Purple Demon Eye, frowned. He had just seen Jing Ni's hand, which was shrouded in pink sword energy. It was indeed a Swordleaf Grass, just like his Blue Silver Grass, which was only Trash Martial Soul.
But how could the opponent be so strong?
Moreover, the swordsmanship and footwork displayed by the opponent did not seem to be Soul Ring Soul Skill, but rather a Self-Created Soul Skill.
" The Plant Academy actually succeeded!"
On the main platform, Emperor Ning Fengzhi and Xue Ye looked in shock toward the direction of the Plant Academy. With their cultivation levels, they could naturally see the Swordleaf Grass Martial Soul shrouded in sword energy.
They had also considered acquiring the Swordleaf Grass Martial Soul, after all, that ferocious grass that suddenly appeared back then was simply too heaven-defying, which was enough to prove the powerful potential of the Swordleaf Grass Martial Soul.
Unfortunately, although they secretly collected some Swordleaf Grass Martial Soul owners with Innate Soul Power, they still couldn't cultivate them even with a lot of resources.
On the one hand, the Innate Soul Power carried by the Swordleaf Grass Martial Soul is too low-level to grant a high cultivation speed.
On the other hand, the Swordleaf Grass Martial Soul itself is a Trash Martial Soul with very low potential, and its strength is far inferior to Soul Master of other Martial Soul of the same level.
Over time they gave up, but they never expected that the Plant Academy would give them such a big surprise today.
" Jing Ni, your fighting style is too direct. I'd be heartbroken if you got hurt. Here, quickly drink some water to soothe your throat."
After Jing Ni returned to the academy stands, a figure appeared beside her in a very obsequious manner, holding a teacup in one hand and a towel in the other to Jing Ni's sweat.
This person was none other than Jing Ling. However, compared to her previous taciturn state, Jing Ling now turned into a sycophant in front of Jing Ni, clearly having those kinds of thoughts about Jing Ni.
As for his former cool and aloof demeanor, Jing Ling decisively abandoned it when facing her future wife.
Jingni did not reject Jing Ling's Jing Ni, and took the teacup, drinking the cooled tea in one gulp.
To be honest, Jing Ni had a very good impression of Jing Ling. Although she had been given special training by the Plant Academy for several years because of her Martial Soul, her strength was still just so-so.
It wasn't until she met Jing Ling, who taught her the Jing Ni Sword Technique, that her strength skyrocketed, and she even joined the academy's battle team.
She changed her name to Jing Ni because of this Jing Ni Sword Technique. After all, she came from a remote mountain village where few people could read and write. She only had a nickname, Er Ya.
The name clearly didn't fit her public image, so it was changed.
"Sister Jing Ni is getting more and more Pretty, especially her figure, it's so stunning it makes everyone's heart flutter!"
Looking at Jing Ni's cold and beautiful face and her hot figure, Diyin, a member of the Botanical Academy Team, felt a surge of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
"Even if you envy Jing Ni. Your physique is doomed. Even Little Nine's Blue Silver Domain can't save you."
Vice-captain Ruila glanced at Diyin's barely rising and falling chest and teased her.
To be honest, their Plant Academy doesn't have as strict standards for admitting students as Skywater Academy; at least, they don't have special requirements for appearance.
As a result, most of the team members only have pretty faces, and it's only with a little makeup that they look much more attractive.
What they didn't expect was that Little Nine's Blue Silver Domain also had beauty and body shaping effects, greatly improving their appearance and figure.
They can finally face anyone without makeup.
" Ruila, today I'm going to expose all your crimes!"
Diyin was furious with Ruila, so she pounced on her and grabbed Ruila breasts, giving them a jealous squeeze. The unexpected action caused a blush of embarrassment and anger to spread across Ruila's beautiful face.
"You perverted woman, let go of me!"
Ruila, both embarrassed and angry, retorted, but she didn't dare to struggle forcefully.
Because this female pervert Diyin, is holding on too tightly, if she struggles too hard, her bra might be torn off, which would be even more embarrassing.
"You two should be mindful of your behavior and act like ladies. There are men here!"
Completely ignored, Little Nine couldn't help but speak up to remind them. As for the other two male creatures, one was constantly fawning over Jing Ni, while the other was drooling over Ruila's severely deformed, peerless weapon.
These two were none other than Jing Ling and Huang Yuan.
"Alright, Diyin, it's your turn to fight!"
As the team captain, Zijing couldn't stand it anymore and urged Diyin to leave the field quickly.
"I'll let you off the hook for now, but wait until tonight and see how I deal with you!"
After grabbing Ruila's deadly weapon once more, Diyin got up and jumped into the fighting arena, becoming the second member of the Plant Academy to enter the fray.
Meanwhile, the Blazing Fire Team also sent out their second player.
"Little sister, shouldn't we hurry up and send Dongxing to the Plant Academy?"
Seeing Zhang Dongxing, a team member who was being carried back and screaming in agony, and especially seeing his four limbs being carried away, Huo Wushuang and the others couldn't help but swallow hard.
Although Huo Wu had warned me beforehand that the battle against the Plant Academy would be serious, I never expected it to be this brutal.
"What are you howling about! You're a grown man, and you can't even handle this little bit of pain? How dare you?"
Huo Wu, her face dark with Huo Wu, scolded him, and then even grabbed a piece of cloth and shoved it into Zhang Dongxing's mouth as he screamed in agony.
"Give them a quick treatment, and after we're done fighting, take them to the plant students with the rest of the group!"
Huo Wu was truly enraged this time. She wasn't someone who couldn't accept defeat, but Zhang Dongxing's loss was too quick and too humiliating. He only managed to unleash less than half of his full strength, which was clearly due to Zhang Dongxing's carelessness.
She wouldn't accept this kind of defeat; she'd let that guy suffer a bit as a lesson, so he wouldn't be so careless and lose again next time.
Huo Wushuang and the others couldn't help but cast sympathetic glances at their teammate Zhang Dongxing, not daring to refute Huo Wu's decision, and even quite agreeing with it.
Zhang Dongxing's defeat this time was so humiliating that it made them all feel ashamed.
