New Godwind Academy

Giving Shui Bing'er a reassuring look, Yu Tianshuang slowly walked onto the field.

Seeing the frost covering Dai Weisi's body and his listless state on the stage, Yu Tianshuang didn't say much. She simply used her right hand to condense an ice-blue longsword by channeling her Soul Power.

Panting, Dai Weisi saw Yu Tianshuang on the stage looking at him with a serious expression. She didn't look down on him because of his poor performance, which warmed his heart. As a soldier, nothing is more comforting than the respect of an opponent.

"Second Soul Skill, White Tiger Fierce Light Wave."

After calming himself down, Dai Weisi withdrew the last bit of Soul Power from his body and launched a final attack.

"Ice Heaven Frost Sword, Ice Heaven Concentrated Spirit, Army Breaker."

Seeing Dai Weisi's final attack, Yu Tianshuang's right hand unleashed bursts of blue light from her ice-blue longsword, and then she swung out an ice-blue sword aura towards Dai Weisi.

Dai Weisi's White Tiger Fierce Light Wave was as thin as paper, instantly cleaving in two upon contact with the icy blue sword energy. The frost emanating from the sword energy then froze the two halves of the light wave, which continued its relentless momentum as it slashed fiercely at Dai Weisi.

"Crack." As the frozen White Tiger Fierce Light Wave, split in two, turned into shimmering ice shards, Dai Weisi looked down at the deep, bone-revealing sword wound on his chest. Before losing consciousness and collapsing to the ground, he gave a grateful look to Yu Tianshuang, who stood holding the sword.

The terrifying frost energy prevented a single drop of blood from oozing from the horrific wound on Dai Weisi's chest. The members of the Star Luo Empire Royal Academy Team watched Dai Weisi collapse on the field with mixed feelings, but Zhu Zhuyun knew that as a warrior, being defeated by an opponent with all his might was the greatest respect he could receive.

Zhu Zhuyun glanced deeply at Yu Tianshuang on the stage, giving her a grateful look, then picked up Dai Weisi and disappeared from the arena. But before leaving, she couldn't help but look at Zhu Zhuqing in the distance with a complicated expression.

"Very good. With the Star Luo Royal Academy Team defeated by the three top seeded teams, they have essentially secured their place in the second round of the finals. Tomorrow's match can be played with less intensity; after all, we still know nothing about our biggest rival Spirit Hall Academy Team. We must save a few trump cards to deal with them."

Back in the lounge, everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing Shui Xinrou's words.

"The next match is between the Godwind Academy and Plant Academy. We haven't played against either of these teams yet, and tomorrow's opponent will be one of them. Godwind Academy is the second-place team in our region, and they've only lost to the Blazing Fire Academy once in all their previous matches. Their captain Feng Xiaotian, is incredibly strong. Let's go watch them and get some information beforehand."

Everyone nodded, left the lounge, and went to the stands reserved for the Skywater Academy Team.

"What's going on with Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang? How did they end up in the Godwind Academy's team?"

On the stands, Shui Yue'er looked at the people from the Blazing Fire Academy and Godwind Academy, both dressed in red, standing together, somewhat puzzled.

At this moment, Yu Tianshuang recalled what Bibi Dong had said that night and explained, "They must have temporarily joined Godwind Academy. It seems there's a reason why Godwind Academy only lost to the Blazing Fire Academy in the previous competition."

"Is that even possible? Then the Godwind Academy must be incredibly powerful."

"One against seven, simply unbelievable! Feng Xiaotian from the Godwind Academy Team actually defeated the Plant Academy single-handedly. It's truly astonishing."

As the host finished speaking, the Skywater Academy Team all looked very serious, because their opponent tomorrow was the reorganized Godwind Academy.

"Bing'er, are you confident you can defeat Feng Xiaotian?"

Everyone who returned to the lounge looked very serious, and Shui Xinrou asked with concern.

"I'm not confident. Feng Xiaotian is too fast. A Power Attack System Soul Master is faster than Agility Attack System Soul Master of the same level. Moreover, his attacks are extremely powerful. Although my Ice Seal is Soul Skill that locks on, given the strength he has shown today, I'm afraid Ice Seal won't even be able to get close to him before it's shattered. And with his speed, my other Soul Skill simply won't be able to hit him."

After a moment's thought, Shui Bing'er said helplessly. Hearing that even Shui Bing'er, the strongest among them besides Yu Tianshuang, couldn't defeat Feng Xiaotian, Shui Xinrou thought for a moment and said, "Let's just forfeit tomorrow's match and conserve our strength for the team battle in the third round of the finals."

No one objected to this, but Yu Tianshuang thought for a moment and said, "Teacher, if we forfeit tomorrow, we'll have to play one more match in the third round of team battles. This isn't good for preserving our strength or our trump cards. Let me go first tomorrow. If we can win, we'll only have to face two opponents in the finals."

Shui Xinrou knew that winning tomorrow's match would be very beneficial for their subsequent third team battle, but she didn't want to reveal too many of her trump cards.

"Teacher, don't worry. Our trump cards are only revealed in team battles. It's no big deal to reveal our hidden trump cards in individual battles now."

Shui Xinrou thought about it and agreed, so she nodded and said, "Okay, Tianshuang, you'll be the first one on the field tomorrow. Go all out. After all, our biggest trump card is team fights. If we can avoid one team fight in the third round, it will be very advantageous for us."

"The second round of the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament finals features a match between the Godwind Academy and Skywater Academy. Both teams are currently undefeated. The winner of today's match will directly secure a place in the top four, which will undoubtedly give them an advantage in the following matches. Let's wait and see."

"The first player to take the stage for the Godwind Academy Team is their captain, Feng Xiaotian. Feng Xiaotian's individual strength is terrifying; he even achieved a seven-game winning streak in yesterday's match. On the other hand, the Skywater Academy Team has sent out their vice-captain, Yu Tianshuang. Yu Tianshuang's strength is also terrifying; she has twice single-handedly defeated entire teams. So, which of these two players is stronger?"

"Yu Tianshuang, I am very grateful to you. If it weren't for you, Huo Wu wouldn't have asked me to temporarily join the Godwind Academy Team, and I wouldn't have had the chance to fight alongside her. As a token of my gratitude, I will do my best to defeat you later and let Huo Wu know who the strongest is."

After the two stepped onto the field, Feng Xiaotian crossed his arms and spoke to Yu Tianshuang.

"This has nothing to do with me. What happened was just a series of coincidences, and I am very sorry about that."

Although she had anticipated that the Blazing Fire Academy's temporary joining of the Godwind Academy was definitely related to him, Yu Tianshuang felt somewhat embarrassed as she recalled the situation after Feng Xiaotian admitted it.
