Xu Sanshi gave Tang Wutong a thumbs up and said, "Wutong, that was awesome! You took down their Martial Soul Fusion Skill all by yourself!"
When Tang Wutong heard this, she didn't respond...
Because those charming pink-purple eyes were still fixed on Qian Yu, who was sitting down below...
Qian Yu also saw Tang Wutong looking at him and smiled faintly at her...
Jiang Nannan, standing next to Tang Wutong, pinched Xu Sanshi's arm hard and scolded, "Xu Sanshi, it's Tang Wutong now, not Wang Dong. Watch your words!"
Xu Sanshi pretended to be in pain and said, "Nannan, I know, I got it!"
Huo Yuhao's gaze shifted to Tang Ya and Ma Xiaotao, who were still lying on the ground, and he interrupted their conversation, "We should go check on Sister Tang Ya and the others first! Using their Martial Soul True Bodies to draw out soul power might have aggravated their injuries; they must have been hurt badly!"
Hearing this, everyone's expressions became grave as they walked toward the unconscious Tang Ya and Ma Xiaotao on the ground...
Jiang Nannan slowly crouched down and after a careful check, she breathed a sigh of relief...
Xu Sanshi inquired, "Nannan, how are Xiao Ya and Sister Xiao Tao doing?"
Jiang Nannan stood up and said, "Whew... thankfully, their injuries haven't worsened. It must be because of the healing cigars from yesterday!"
Upon receiving Jiang Nannan's response, Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi each carried Tang Ya and Ma Xiaotao on their backs, and the group of seven walked down from the competition stage amid cheering...
As they passed by the Shrek Academy group, Huo Yuhao said with eyes full of fighting spirit, "Qian Yu, once you win the next match, it will be Tang Sect against Shrek Academy!"
Qian Yu just glanced at Huo Yuhao and casually returned a word, "Yeah."
Then he turned his gaze to Tang Wutong and smiled, "Wutong, congratulations, your Martial Soul has evolved!"
He had only intended to use Divine Power to help Tang Wutong resist Xiao Hongchen and his sister's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and he never expected it would inadvertently lead to the evolution of her Martial Soul...
Hearing the surprise in Qian Yu's voice, Tang Wutong asked confusedly, "Qian Yu, wasn't it your Divine Power that evolved my Martial Soul?"
Qian Yu shook his head to explain, "My Divine Power at most could only make you use your soul skills stronger, not enough to evolve a Martial Soul. However, the evolution of your Martial Soul could very well be related to that incident."
Tang Wutong immediately understood Qian Yu's meaning and said playfully, "I see, then we'll be taking our leave now!"
But He Caitou suddenly called out to stop the Tang Sect people, and under their astonished gaze, he handed over seven silver healing cigars, "Hold on, while it can't completely heal you, this will greatly increase your recovery speed."
He had prepared them after Ma Xiaotao and Tang Ya from Tang Sect were severely injured...
He couldn't just watch idly as the people from Tang Sect entered another battle with serious injuries...
Huo Yuhao accepted the seven silver healing cigars and thanked him from the heart, "Thank you, Brother He!"
Xu Sanshi said with a complex expression, "He Caitou, I didn't expect you to be so compassionate and caring. You're about to compete yourself, yet you still care so much for us. I, Xu Sanshi, will remember this!"
Bei Bei glanced at Xu Sanshi and told He Caitou, "You don't have to talk like we're enemies, He Caitou! Thanks!"
With that, the Tang Sect group returned to their seats...
At that moment, Ningtian skeptically asked He Caitou, "He Caitou, those seven silver healing cigars, you didn't use up all your Soul Power, did you?"
Caught by the question, He Caitou scratched his head awkwardly...
Dai Yaoheng teased, "Really... Alright, just watch from the back in the next match!"
Next to him, Wu Feng praised, "Brother He, you're a good person!"
Hearing this praise, warmth filled He Caitou's heart...
Xiao Xiao, seeing He Caitou's appearance, said without words, "Big Brother He, don't tell me you actually think Wu Feng is praising you?"
He Caitou was startled, "Eh? Isn't he?"
Xiao Xiao rolled her eyes and said unenthusiastically, "Forget it... just take it as a compliment!"
Qian Yu spoke up, "Everyone get ready, it's almost our turn to take the stage!"
With a glance, Dai Yaoheng looked at the Tang Sect people and asked Qian Yu with confusion, "Elder Qian Yu, considering the physical condition of those from Tang Sect, should we go easy on them during the finals?"
Qian Yu revealed a mysterious smile, "Finals? Go easy? Do you think there will be a chance for that today?"
Today's continental young Soul Master elite competition was extraordinarily lively; inexplicably, many people had slipped in!
Whether they were evil Soul Masters or sect powerhouses, in short, they were converging all together!
I'm afraid that when Shrek Academy finishes this battle, it will be the real prelude to the war!
...
At this moment, in the front row, Juzi, with calm eyes, looked towards Xu Tianran next to her and said faintly, "Have the people from the Holy Spirit Cult arrived?"
Xu Tianran nodded, "Mhm! The people from the Holy Spirit Cult have already laid in ambush around us! I've specifically instructed them not to make a move against Shrek Academy!"
Juzi nodded slightly and said, "That's good. Our goal this time is to deal with the strong from various Great Sects gathered here!"
As long as they used the Holy Spirit Cult's hand to sweep away these Great Sect powerhouses, then with the military strength the Sun-Moon Empire currently possessed, subjugating the other countries would be a piece of cake!
As for why they weren't making a move against Shrek Academy!
One reason was that Shrek Academy had many strong individuals, including a level-99 Ultimate Douluo and a level-98 Hyper Douluo. If they offended them, it could also pose a big problem!
Moreover, according to the status on the Continent, Shrek Academy was actually neutral and would not affiliate with any country, so as long as it didn't interfere with her plans, there was no need to take action against them!
While the two were conversing, the elder's voice once again resonated from the competition platform, "The next battle will be between Shrek Academy and the Qianchen Battle Team! It will determine the final spot for the finals. Please both teams quickly head to the platform!"
After a moment, the teams from Shrek Academy and the Qianchen Battle Team walked from their viewing seats to the competition platform…
Once both teams were in position, the captain of the Qianchen Battle Team smiled at Elder Qian Yu, "It's our honor to be competing against Shrek Academy for a spot in the finals!"
Qian Yu simply glanced at him coldly and offhandedly said, "You're not bad! Being able to get here shows you also have some strength!"
The captain of the Qianchen Battle Team's face darkened, as he forced a smile and said, "Some strength? Let's see the truth in the competition then."
Ningtian, next to Qian Yu, said with disdain, "Elder Qian Yu, this guy seems to think he's looking really cool…"
Dai Yaoheng said unsparingly, "Just now, his smile looked like he had eaten... something awful. He lacks Xiao Hongchen's ability to manage expressions, yet he still insists on posing."
After both teams were ready, the elder spoke, "Please each team send out one member for the battle!"
As his words fell, intense cheers filled the arena...
"Shrek Academy! Shrek Academy!"
"I believe Shrek Academy definitely won't let us down, having won so many championships in succession, they can certainly succeed again!"
"Shrek Academy! Crush them! Make them kneel on the ground like dogs, just like Tian Ling Sect!"
"Go Shrek Academy! Go Shrek Academy!"
