Even she hadn't expected it.
My plan, which I've been working on for so many years, has failed just like that.
My curiosity overshadowed everything else.
No matter how she looked at him, she couldn't see through Yu Tianheng.
Under normal circumstances, this would be absolutely impossible.
Previously, she only regarded the Clear Sky Sect as an opponent that would hinder her plans.
It now appears that neither the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon nor Yu Tianheng in front of them should be underestimated.
Shi Mo and Shi Mo, among others, were also in the spectator stands not far away.
I felt a little disappointed.
After all, they didn't have many opportunities to perform during the last Soul Master Tournament.
I had originally planned to take this opportunity to showcase my abilities.
Unfortunately...
"Bro, why doesn't the boss let us go?"
Shi Mo asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Are you stupid? Do you think you can beat Sister Yan? Look at the rest of the team, who can handle any of them?"
Yu Feng, on the other hand, had an exceptionally clear mind.
He has an exceptionally clear understanding of himself.
If it weren't for the Immortal Herb his boss had given him, his Soul Power Level would probably be much lower.
Yu Feng is already very satisfied with his current achievements.
As a direct subordinate of the empire, Dugu Yan and her group acted as before.
They don't need to participate in the qualifiers at all.
As luck would have it, the first match was Shrek Academy versus Elephant Armor Academy.
Unfortunately, Shrek Academy now only has Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun left.
The remaining four trainees were cobbled together by Dean Frank through various means.
However, this means that Shrek Academy's strength has decreased considerably compared to its original, fully-fledged form.
Dai Mubai was unshaven and looked utterly dejected.
Zhu Zhuqing's departure had a huge impact on him.
For a long time, his Soul Power Level stagnated.
He indulged himself in wine and women all day long.
If it weren't for Yu Xiaogang forcibly bringing him back with Zhao Wuji later...
Dai Mubai probably just woke up in his hotel room.
" Boss Dai, this team doesn't seem too strong. If we try our best, we should still have a chance."
Oscar patted Dai Mubai on the shoulder and said something.
He never knew or met Ning Rongrong from beginning to end.
Naturally, it won't suffer any setbacks.
Fortunately, ever since they were brutally beaten by Yu Tianheng, Oscar and Ma Hongjun have devoted all their energy to cultivation.
The Soul Power Level is roughly the same as in the original timeline after receiving the help of the Immortal Herb.
Even so, they won this battle with great difficulty.
They were just a hair's breadth away from being defeated by the Elephant Armor Academy.
This scene greatly pleased Yu Tianheng, who was watching from not far away.
Sure enough, Tang San was no longer in the way.
Shrek Academy is purely based on Shrek.
But to his surprise, Shrek Academy seemed to have exceptionally good luck this time.
The preliminary rounds barely met the required standards.
They are advancing to the knockout stage.
To prevent excessive time wastage, Yu Tianheng specifically discussed and modified the competition rules with the Spirit Hall.
There will no longer be any bye situations.
After the qualifiers, only sixteen teams remained.
The drawing of lots will be conducted in sequence.
Unfortunately, Tian Heng Royal Academy and Spirit Hall are located in opposite halves of the spectrum, one in the upper half and the other in the lower half.
This also ensures that the two teams will not meet before the final match.
It's unclear whether this is indeed the case, or if the Spirit Hall has made some special arrangements.
In their first match, Tian Heng Royal Academy drew Shrek Academy as their opponent.
On the field, Dai Mubai was stunned when he saw Zhu Zhuqing join Tian Heng Royal Academy.
Especially the utterly indifferent expression on Zhu Zhuqing's face.
It was as if the two of them had always been strangers.
" Zhu Zhuqing, I..."
Dai Mubai's gaze remained fixed on Zhu Zhuqing.
I couldn't help but speak up.
Before he could finish speaking, Ning Rongrong stepped in front of Zhu Zhuqing.
It seems they wanted to use this method to isolate the two from conversation.
After all, through their previous interactions, Ning Rongrong had come to realize that Dai Mubai was a complete scumbag.
Does this scumbag really think that simply admitting his mistake and begging for forgiveness will suffice?
Zhu Zhuqing gently patted Ning Rongrong's shoulder, indicating that she would handle the matter.
She took a step forward and spoke in Dai Mubai's direction.
"I've already said it, our engagement is dissolved. Don't bother me anymore."
Before she finished speaking, the Nether Civet Martial Soul appeared behind Zhu Zhuqing.
It seemed that if Dai Mubai tried to argue any further, she would take action immediately.
" Zhu Zhuqing, stop wasting your breath on him. We're here to compete, not to preach."
Huo Wu hates scumbags the most.
She couldn't wait any longer and wanted to Dai Mubai a good beating.
Dai Mubai's current Soul Power Level is only level thirty-eight.
They were completely powerless against Huo Wu.
Suddenly, Huo Wu's Fire Clone burst forth.
It exploded right in front of Dai Mubai.
The massive surge of Soul Power sent Dai Mubai flying.
Oscar, after consuming the Rapid Flying Mushroom Sausage, leaped into the air and caught Dai Mubai.
He used his own body to help Dai Mubai share the impact.
Otherwise, Dai Mubai would probably have been crippled on the spot.
Are you alright?
Ma Hongjun also hurriedly stepped forward to ask, his eyes full of worry.
None of them expected that they would run into the favorite to win the championship.
The most powerful Tian Heng Royal Academy team.
"It's okay, I..."
Dai Mubai's tone was somewhat hesitant.
His feelings for Zhu Zhuqing had completely extinguished his fighting spirit.
Even if they don't have any injuries, they are practically incapable of fighting.
"Should we just admit defeat? I have a feeling that woman just now was after Boss Dai's life?"
Ma Hongjun's voice trembled slightly.
Although Huo Wu's appearance and figure are almost perfectly within his aesthetic standards.
But given what Dai Mubai had just experienced, he dared not do anything abnormal.
If he were to take that blow head-on, he definitely wouldn't be able to withstand it, given his strength.
It was already a stroke of luck that they weren't killed on the spot.
Upon hearing this, a slight wavering appeared in Oscar's eyes.
Sometimes, there is absolutely no chance of winning.
It's more despairing than outright failure.
In particular, their adversaries are former friends.
"We... we surrender."
At this point, Dai Mubai seemed to have exhausted all his energy.
He lay stiffly on the ground, his eyes lifeless.
