Afterwards, Qi Ling prepared to pack up and head to the arena. Although she hadn't fully recovered to her best condition, her body was fine, and she could still participate in the competition.
Just as Qi Ling was about to leave, Dugu Yan suddenly appeared. Seeing that Qi Ling could move around normally again, she exclaimed with delight, "Darling, you've recovered? That's wonderful! I was so worried about you!"
"Don't worry, I'm fine now," Qi Ling said. "Come on, let's hurry up and get to the competition! It should be almost time for it to start, right?"
"Huh? A competition?" Dugu Yan was taken aback, then suddenly said, "Oh, right, darling, you didn't know!"
"This morning, news suddenly came from the Spirit Hall that His Holiness the Pope, out of consideration for the hard work of all the teams, has granted them three days of rest. The remaining matches will be held in three days!"
The Spirit Hall team hadn't suffered any losses in the previous matches, so Bibi Dong's purpose in doing this couldn't have been to allow the Spirit Hall members to rest.
Of all the teams, only Qi Ling's team still has the qualification to participate and needs time to rest!
"Honestly, I don't know what the Pope is thinking, but anyway, we're the ones who benefit," Dugu Yan said. "Hehe, darling, now you have plenty of time to rest and recover."
"Ah, that's true," Qi Ling murmured, "The beauty's kindness is immense..."
Without a doubt, Bibi Dong did this because, after examining Qi Ling's injuries yesterday, she judged that Qi Ling would need at least three days to fully recover.
If Qi Ling returns to the field before she has fully recovered, losing the match is a minor issue; it could potentially cause irreparable damage to her body! Bibi Dong must be worried about this, which is why she took such a big risk to give Qi Ling three days of rest.
Qi Ling could only keep this kindness firmly in his heart. He would never forget those who were good to him, and he would repay even the smallest kindness with the greatest gratitude!
In any case, having three days of rest is good for every team, allowing them to be in full shape and present even more exciting matches to all the viewers.
So three days later, the remaining six teams arrived at the arena. Fueled by an even stronger fighting spirit, they drew lots to determine the three matches to be played that day:
Match 1: Skywater Academy vs. Overlord Academy;
Second match: Shrek Team vs. Spirit Hall Team;
Match 3: Qilin Team vs. Night Raid Team.
Upon seeing this match spot, everyone had the same thought: What a pity!
Both the Qilin Team and the Night Raid Team undoubtedly have the strength to enter the top three, but fate has brought them together in the top six, so it is destined that one of them will be eliminated here.
After the match-up list was released, the spectators made various predictions about the outcome of the competition. After the Spirit Hall compiled the results, the conclusion was that the three teams that would likely enter the finals were the Overlord Team, the Spirit Hall Team, and the Night Raid Team.
The reason lies in the difference in Soul Power. Although Skywater Academy, Shrek Team, and Qilin Team are indeed very strong, their opponents all have a significant advantage in Soul Power, which makes them completely underestimated.
But after seeing this result, Qi Ling smiled slightly and said, "If the level of Soul Power could determine everything, I would have died countless times already!"
"However, Xiao Ye, you are indeed a formidable opponent. What am I supposed to do with you?"
Before long, the first match was about to begin. At the referee's announcement, Skywater Academy and Overlord Academy stepped onto the stage from both sides.
Of the two teams, the Overlord Team is naturally the more favored by everyone. This is not only because their captain, Kuang Tie, is a Soul King with a strength of level 54, but more importantly, they are the second-ranked team in the Star Luo Empire, while Skywater Academy is only the fourth-ranked team in the Heaven Dou Empire!
While individual skill doesn't represent everything, it can still indirectly demonstrate the overall strength of a team.
However, after learning of this idea, Huo Wu said indignantly, "Damn it, let them come to the Heaven Dou Empire to compete! They can't even get fourth place!"
When the seven members of the Skywater Team stood together with the seven members of the Overlord Team, a peculiar sense of disparity immediately appeared, as if a scene of beauty and the beast was unfolding.
When Kuang Tie, the captain of the Overlord Team, saw that the opposing team's leaders were actually two such delicate and beautiful women, he couldn't help but chuckle lewdly, "Hehe, I really didn't expect to find such beauties in this competition. What an unexpected bonus!"
"You two, this isn't a place for women. You'd better just admit defeat and come back to the Star Luo Empire with me! I'll pamper you in bed, hahaha!"
Upon hearing Kuang Tie's words, Huo Wu was about to angrily attack, but was stopped by Shui Bing'er, who said, "Don't be impulsive, Huo Wu. No one in this team is a fool. Don't be fooled!"
Kuang Tie's purpose in doing this was simple: first, to provoke the two women's anger, thereby causing them to lose their composure and expose their weaknesses.
The second objective was to fabricate his personality so that his opponents couldn't deduce his future role. Once they thought he was just a reckless brute, his objective would be achieved.
Seeing that Shui Bing'er was completely unmoved by his words, Kuang Tie couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment. But for him, this was just a costless test; it would be better if it worked, but it wouldn't matter if it didn't.
He's gotten this far by relying on his own strength, not such shallow tricks.
After the referee announced that both sides could summon their Martial Soul, the Overlord Team and the Skywater Academy members immediately acted together and summoned their Martial Soul.
On the Overlord Team's side, Kuang Tie's Martial Soul is very special, called Iron Armor. It is a metallic substance that can be attached to one's body and controlled at will. It can be used as a means of defense or as a weapon of attack.
At the same time, what is even more noteworthy are their two Defense System Soul Master, whose Martial Soul is an Tie Dun, a Martial Soul that is both offensive and defensive.
Meanwhile, at the Skywater Academy, when Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er summoned their Martial Soul, blue and red colors divided the space they occupied. Then, a fiery red demon and an ice-blue Phoenix appeared simultaneously, creating a dazzling spectacle.
