Qian Chen glanced at the expressions on everyone's faces, raised his hand and waved it lightly, saying, "Don't be surprised, everyone. Those three are indeed my disappointing disciples; please excuse their poor performance. Everyone, please go about your business."
All the teachers and students present could only suppress their shock and said in unison, "Yes, Dean."
Zhang Lexuan then laughed and said, " Yuhao, didn't you and Dai Huabin make a bet to win over his fiancée Zhu Lu? Now that you've won, are you planning to snatch her away as your wife?"
Huo Yuhao blushed instantly upon hearing Zhang Lexuan tease him like that. He never expected that his verbal altercation with Dai Huabin would even reach the ears of his master's wife. Although he admitted to being a womanizer deep down, he couldn't bring himself to forcibly take a woman.
Huo Yuhao understood that his enemy was Dai Huabin, not Zhu Lu. He could only laugh and say, "Hehe, from now on, Zhu Lu will nominally belong to me. Every time I see Dai Huabin, I'll tell him."
Seeing that Huo Yuhao didn't really intend to take Zhu Lu away, Qian Chen was slightly disappointed, but then thought it wasn't so bad, at least his disciple's character wasn't too bad. Qian Chen praised the three of them, "Hmm, very good, to get second place in the Freshman Tournament."
"Teacher, don't worry, we will definitely win first place!" Huo Yuhao said firmly.
"Alright, alright. Your Martial Soul Fusion Skill has already been used, so you can't use it a second time. It's impossible for you to defeat Ning Tian's team now. Besides, Ning Tian's team is also skilled in using Soul Tool. They are two Soul Elder, and you can't beat them," Qian Chen said bluntly.
Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao all lowered their heads, somewhat unwilling.
"No, no, no, I was just telling the truth. Tomorrow is the final, so you guys should all rest well. Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, just do your best in the final."
"Yes, teacher," Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao replied in unison.
The second day at the Shrek Academy was exceptionally lively, as the final round of the Freshman Tournament was about to begin. Zhang Lexuan, Dean of the Martial Soul Department, Qian Chen, Xian Lin'er and his wife, the Xuan Zi of the Soul Tool Department, Qian Duoduo Zi, who was in charge of the Inner Court, and Yan Shaozhe and Cai Mei'er from the Sea God Pavilion all came.
Zhang Lexuan stepped forward and greeted them, " Xuan Zi, Pavilion Master Yan, Pavilion Master Cai, what brings you here? Welcome!"
Xuan Zi waved his hand and said, " Lexuan, the Inner Court has been peaceful these days, so I came to check on the finals of the Freshman Tournament and see if there are any promising talents this year who can hold their own."
Yan Shaozhe echoed, "Yes, Lexuan, although Mei'er and I are no longer the deans of the Martial Soul Department, we still care about this place."
While the Shrek Academy executives were still chatting in the stands, the match finally began. A referee came to the center of the Soul Fighting and shouted, "The match is about to begin. Please welcome Ning Tian's team and Huo Yuhao's team to the stage."
Soon, Huo Yuhao's team and Ning Tian's team arrived at the Soul Fighting Arena. The referee came to the center of the Soul Fighting and said, "Both sides have one minute to activate their Martial Soul. Prepare for the match."
Ning Tian stood at the front of the group and shouted, " Sister Feng, Yun'er, let's activate our Martial Soul!" The next moment, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared in Ning Tian's hand, and three Soul Ring —yellow, yellow, and purple—rose beneath her feet.
Wu Feng was not to be outdone; his Red Dragon Martial Soul immediately possessed him, and three Soul Ring appeared as well. Nanmen Yun'er's two yellow Soul Ring were also quite ordinary.
Seeing the strength of Ning Tian's team, Huo Yuhao was determined not to lose; he was unwilling to accept defeat. In his Sea of Consciousness, Huo Yuhao hurriedly called out, " Brother Sky Dream, Brother Sky Dream, get up and get to work!"
"What's wrong, Yuhao?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm asked sleepily.
" Brother Sky Dream, I want to win this final, our whole team wants to win. I don't want to let everyone down, can you help me?"
"Didn't your teacher say you can't beat Ning Tian's team? Why are you fighting so desperately?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm advised. Huo Yuhao's spirits immediately plummeted. He wanted to win the match, but even his Soul Ring weren't being supported by Brother Sky Dream?
Seeing his reaction, Brother Sky Dream Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had no choice but to say, "Alright, alright, don't be like this. Since you've come to me for help, I'll see what's what and lend you a hand Brother Sky Dream."
Soon, Huo Yuhao's team of three also activated their Martial Soul. As soon as the match time was up, Huo Yuhao once again took out his Level 2 Defensive Soul Tool and transformed into an iron man in full view of everyone.
Ning Tian smiled slightly and said to Wu Feng, " Sister Feng, I'm entrusting Huo Yuhao to you!"
Wu Feng smiled and said, "Alright." Wu Feng then took out a Soul Tool that looked like a boxing glove and put it on his hands.
"The Seven Treasures Pagodas unleash a powerful amplification effect, granting speed and strength." The amplification effect of the two Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda immediately landed on Ning Tian's team of three. Ning Tian shouted, "The advantage is ours, go all in!"
Huo Yuhao was not to be outdone. After activating Spiritual Detection and Spiritual Sharing, he directly confronted Wu Feng.
Unfortunately, Wu Feng was incredibly strong. Wearing the protective gloves and Soul Tool that Ning Tian had specially crafted for her, she went straight into a head-on clash with Huo Yuhao. She already possessed the strength of Soul Elder, and with Ning Tian's assistance, after a dozen or so rounds, Huo Yuhao could only rely on his fighting skills to barely hold on.
Suddenly, Wu Feng threw a punch, and Huo Yuhao had nowhere to dodge. Wu Feng sent Huo Yuhao flying more than ten steps. Huo Yuhao took a few more steps back, but still couldn't steady himself and fell backward to the ground.
After defeating Huo Yuhao, Wu Feng continued his attack on Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong's location. At this point in the Freshman Tournament, Wu Feng was practically a humanoid Soul Beast.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao got up again and shouted, " Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, we must take down Ning Tian from Ning Tian's team first. If she doesn't go down, with her support, the three of us won't be able to defeat Wu Feng Wu Feng."
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao nodded, intending to bypass Wu Feng and attack Ning Tian. Unfortunately, they underestimated Ning Tian and Nanmen Yun'er. Ning Tian, with Soul Tool in one hand and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in the other, could barely hold her own against Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster. With her and Nanmen Yun'er working together, they were not afraid of Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao at all.
At this moment, Ning Tian shouted loudly, " Sister Feng, throw Huo Yuhao off the Soul Fighting Arena! I think there's something strange about him."
Huo Yuhao was anxious. If Wu Feng targeted him specifically, he would be eliminated quickly. He hurriedly shouted in his Sea of Consciousness, " Brother Sky Dream, what should I do? You have to help me! Quickly find a way to help me defeat that Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda support!"
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said irritably, "Sigh, the gap between your two teams is just too big. Here's the thing, given my current situation and with so many Titled Douluo watching, I can only make a move quietly once. Any more and I'll be discovered."
After Sky Dream Ice Silkworm finished speaking, she condensed a powerful Spiritual Shock and rushed straight towards Ning Tian. Then, Ning Tian's head felt as if it had been pierced by a needle, and blood flowed from his face. He knelt on the ground in pain. Wang Dong, who was fighting her, did not know what was wrong with her. He could not stop his continuous attacks all at once and kicked Ning Tian hard in the head.
This kick sent Ning Tian sprawling backward, causing him to faint on the spot. For a moment, all the teachers watching the match around the final Soul Fighting were stunned, wondering why Ning Tian had suddenly lost.
