Unlike the teams from other colleges, the Plant Academy immediately retreated to their own camp after finishing their match with the Blazing Fire Team, instead of staying to watch the other teams' matches like the other college teams did.
The intelligence gathering work can be done with the help of their own team leaders and others; what they need to do is seize every opportunity to cultivate.
After all, the second round of qualifying matches will last for a full month and a half. They can't just stay in the arena watching the matches for a whole month and a half!
I'd rather come back and cultivate with Little Nine!
Even with Little Nine's help, their time was limited, and their own abilities and foundation were insufficient to cope with the final competition.
Therefore, we must seize every opportunity to cultivate ourselves, without the slightest slackening.
Meanwhile, the members of the Blazing Fire Team were carried into the Plant Academy's camp.
These seven people were in a terrible state; even Huo Wushuang, the team leader, was covered in blood and had lost an arm.
Although he possessed the cultivation level of Soul King, he was facing Zijing, the captain of the Botanical Team, who had the Scarlet Fire Thorn Martial Soul, possessing extremely strong fire resistance, and there was basically no phenomenon of him being able to restrain her.
Then, as an Power Attack System Soul Master facing off against a control-type Soul Master, and both being Soul King, the outcome is predictable.
Huo Wushuang lost, and lost badly. He didn't even manage to touch Zijing's clothes before losing and being crippled.
Little Nine didn't delay any longer and immediately began to Martial Soul Fusion with Jiang Zhu to treat Huo Wushuang and the others.
"Wait a moment!"
But before they could even take action, Huo Wu suddenly spoke up to stop them.
Ignoring the questioning looks from Little Nine and the others, Huo Wu forward and punched her brother and teammates on the head, knocking them unconscious.
After all, Little Nine's secret cannot be exposed for the time being, otherwise who knows if the nobles and powerful families of the Naxi Empire will ruthlessly attack and kill her.
Don't doubt the integrity of aristocratic families, clans, and imperial nobles, because they simply don't have the concept of integrity. They are capable of anything if someone is deemed an enemy or a threat.
"That's ruthless!"
Seeing the large bump rapidly swelling on Huo Wushuang's head, Zijing, as his opponent, couldn't help but sigh at Huo Wu's ruthlessness.
She remembered that Huo Wushuang was Huo Wu's older brother. If even her own brother could be so ruthless, he wasn't just Ruthless, he was a werewolf, a person who was even more ruthless than Ruthless.
Quite speechless, Little Nine eventually completed the Martial Soul Fusion with Jiang Zhu, using the power of the Healing Scepter to activate the Blue Silver Domain and heal Huo Wushuang and the others.
The power of the domain is indeed not to be underestimated; even Huo Wushuang, whose arm was completely shattered, quickly regenerated it.
Wang Hao already knew how to regenerate severed arms, so he included this technique in the inheritance he prepared for Jiang Zhu.
Jiang Zhu proved to be quite capable, actually mastering this treatment method in just a few months.
Of course, this could only be accomplished with the assistance of Little Nine's Blue Silver Domain; otherwise, although Jiang Zhu could have done it alone, it would have taken a lot of time.
Soon, Huo Wushuang and the others, who had been Huo Wu, were thrown out of the Plant Academy's camp one by one by Huo Wu and handed over to the Blazing Fire Team's leader, who was waiting outside, to take them back.
Huo Wu herself stayed behind to cultivate with Little Nine Little Nine the others, clearly sharing the same thoughts as them.
A short while later, Meng Yiran and Shui Bing'er, who had also finished their matches that day, arrived.
As for Dieying from the Canghui Team, she stayed in the Plant Academy's camp the whole time and never went out.
After all, she only came to deal with the Shrek Team and Tang San; she didn't care about the competition between the academy teams.
Even Canghui Academy believed that Dieying had given up on continuing the competition, since her injuries were too severe at the time, and even if she were to be saved, it would be impossible for her to regain her fighting strength so quickly.
The competition continued in this manner. After half a month, when the qualifying rounds were halfway through, the Canghui Academy Team finally faced off against the Shrek Team for the first time.
Because the competition rules stipulate that only the main team members and substitutes who initially registered can participate in the battle, after all the main team members were wiped out, Canghui Academy could not send in any more people and could only send four team members to fight in turn.
In fact, Canghui Academy had already given up on this year's Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament. The reason they continued to participate was merely to go through the motions.
After all, even if you lose, it sounds better than admitting defeat outright and being too afraid to even step onto the field.
This time, the Shrek Team did not send their main players, but instead sent a substitute player to the game.
Although he is a substitute player, he is quite strong.
This person is named Yu Xinming. He comes from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and possesses the top-tier Beast Martial Soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. His aptitude is also quite good.
At the young age of twenty, he already possessed Soul Ancestor cultivation level of forty-eight. Relying on the unique Dragon Transformation ability of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, he was even capable of contending with ordinary Soul King.
With his formidable strength, Yu Xinming quickly achieved a one-versus-four victory, defeating all four remaining members of the Canghui Team.
The four students from the Canghui Academy were defeated without even needing to use a single move from their opponents.
Just as Yu Xinming was about to leave the field, the referee spoke up.
" Yu Xinming, are you sure you want to step down and concede?"
These words not only stunned Yu Xinming, but also left everyone watching completely bewildered, not understanding what the referee meant.
"Are you blind? Didn't you see I defeated all four trash from the Canghui Team? I have now won the final victory in this battle."
Stopping in his tracks, Yu Xinming glared at the referee with obvious displeasure, and even cursed at him.
The referee remained calm in the face of Yu Xinming's insults, and once again gave a formulaic confirmation.
" Yu Xinming, are you sure you want to step down and concede now?"
Before Yu Xinming could speak again, the crisp sound of heels hitting the ground rang out from the opposite passage, and a graceful figure slowly emerged from the shadows.
"That's impossible!"
The one who exclaimed in surprise was not Yu Xinming in the arena, but Tang San in the stands.
Because he recognized the woman who appeared; she was the only female member of the Canghui Team's main combat team and the only survivor.
However, his opponent's Martial Soul should have been shattered by him. Even if the Grandmaster of the Spirit Hall personally intervened, it would have been impossible for him to recover in such a short time, let alone be able to fight.
That's right, the last beautiful figure to emerge was Dieying.
Without looking at Yu Xinming on the other side, Dieying fixed her gaze directly on Tang San in the stands.
" Tang San, I have been waiting for this day for a long time. The blood feud of my six teammates, the hatred of my parents, I will take revenge on you today."
Let's collect some interest now!
After speaking coldly, Dieying's chilling gaze swept across Yu Xinming opposite her, intending to use him as the first target.
"A good-for-nothing who barely escaped with his life dares to make a fuss!"
Seeing the murderous intent in Dieying's eyes, Yu Xinming furious and once again summoned his Martial Soul Possession to charge towards Dieying.
" Yu Xinming, be careful!"
Tang San, standing in the stands, instinctively sensed something was wrong and immediately tried to warn him. Unfortunately, Yu Xinming, from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, was far too proud to heed such a warning.
He would still be wary of the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill used by the seven members of the Canghui Team, but now that only one of them is left, he can severely injure and kill him with a single move.
Before Yu Xinming could even get close, the scene before him made his eyes widen in disbelief, and even his rapid forward steps faltered.
Dieying summoned her own Gem Martial Spirit, but it was not the single Martial Soul that people knew, but a total of seven Gem Martial Spirit, arranged in a six-pointed star shape.
Upon seeing the six-pointed star Tang San was the first to react and immediately roared at the referee below.
"Our Shrek Team concedes defeat in this match!"
Unfortunately, the referee did not react at all, ignoring Tang San's request to concede, and just watched as Yu Xinming was swallowed up by the sudden burst of seven-colored light.
The seven-colored light flashed by in an instant. When Yu Xinming reappeared, he was foaming at the mouth, convulsing and collapsing to the ground, even emitting a foul odor.
It's clear that he has tragically lost control of his bladder and bowels.
"This is murder! It's murder!"
Tang San rushed down to check on Yu Xinming's condition immediately. After confirming that Yu Xinming had suffered a mental breakdown and some damage to his brain, Tang San angrily looked at the referee who was still standing on the edge.
He had already conceded defeat on behalf of Yu Xinming, but the referee did not stop it immediately. Instead, he watched helplessly as Yu Xinming was swallowed up by the seven-colored light.
Furthermore, given that the other party was from the Spirit Hall, this was clearly retaliation against the Shrek Team.
According to the competition rules, only the team leader and team captain are qualified to concede defeat on behalf of the participating players!
Faced with Tang San's questioning, the referee spoke indifferently.
Although he was also very angry about the Shrek Academy challenging the authority of the Spirit Hall, since he was selected as one of the referees for the qualifying rounds, his character and morals were certainly up to standard, and he would never let his personal emotions affect the competition.
So he was just doing his job. If Dai Mubai, the captain of the Shrek Team, or Yu Xiaogang, the team leader, had asked, he would have rescued Yu Xinming immediately.
Unfortunately, it was only the vice-captain Tang San who spoke up; once he made a move, it would have broken the rules of the competition.
"It's a pity I didn't manage to take down more of your teammates, but since you're already on the field, don't leave!"
At this moment Dieying on the opposite side was filled with murderous intent. If it weren't for the rules of the competition, which prohibited her from making a move before the referee announced the official start, she would have liked to trap Tang San in the Seven Asura Illusion Realm and kill him right now.
"Come back, Xiao San!"
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang, who had just realized what was happening, hurriedly spoke up, not wanting Tang San to start a fight with Dieying.
He was aware of the power of the Seven Asura Illusion Realm, a seven-in-one Fusion Skill, although he didn't understand how Dieying possessed seven Gem Martial Spirit and could unleash the Seven Asura Illusion Realm on her own.
But none of that matters. What matters is that it is indeed the Seven Asura Illusion Realm, Seven-in-One Fusion Skill, which is extremely difficult for Tang San to contend with, even with his Purple Demon Eye.
Therefore, they had better admit defeat quickly in this battle; they absolutely cannot defeat that Dieying!
" The Spirit Hall's Grandmaster truly lives up to his reputation; he can even create such a miracle!"
Xue Ye spoke indifferently, but his gaze toward Salas contained a deep sense of apprehension.
That mysterious Grandmaster is simply too extraordinary; this is not a good thing for them.
On the other side, Ning Fengzhi also filled with apprehension, clearly quite astonished by this miracle of possessing seven Martial Soul simultaneously.
He originally thought Tang San's Triple Martial Souls was already incredibly powerful, but today he witnessed an even more incredible Sevenfold Martial Spirit.
"Your Majesty is too kind. Although the Grandmaster was the one who ultimately saved the child, the fact that the child obtained the Martial Soul of his teammate has nothing to do with the Grandmaster."
Speaking of which Canghui Academy should thank Tang San for this!
"If it weren't for him, Dieying wouldn't have received such an amazing opportunity."
Salas stroked his beard and laughed heartily, feeling extremely pleased.
After all, such a heaven-defying individual is already a member of their Spirit Hall!
