Chapter 466: The Top 16 (Seeking Subscriptions)_1

When Tang Sect and the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guidance Device Academy both had left the stage, many contestants began to murmur...

"Eh! Forget it, I didn't expect Tang Sect to be so timid; it was a wasted anticipation."

"Suddenly, I've lost interest in Tang Sect; they could have won but chose to concede."

"Bring on the next match! I don't want to see these two teams again."

"Next match, next match! Next match."

Seeing the crowd's moods becoming unstable, the elder quickly announced, "The next match will be between the Tianzhe Battle Team and the Litian Battle Team. The format will be individual knockout!"

Bei Bei ruefully said, "It seems that our action has made quite a big impact; it looks like the other contestants are giving us strange looks."

He had casually looked at a few other teams just now, and none of them gave him a pleasant expression; it was as if he had committed some unforgivable crime...

Xu San Shi grumbled, "If these guys knew how terrifying Elder Qian Yu is, I bet they'd all drop out!"

Jiang Nannan sighed, "To avoid elimination, it was a necessary move. If we lose a match later on, it will be very difficult to catch up on points!"

Huo Yuhao smiled and held out a hand, "In the upcoming matches, as long as we win every one, we can make it into the finals. Everyone... come on, Tang Sect!"

He could tolerate losing to Qian Yu, for the latter's strength was no longer something to be viewed with ordinary eyes!

But for everyone else, he absolutely wanted to lead Tang Sect to defeat them one by one! This was also the key to rebuilding Tang Sect for Sister Tang Ya.

Seeing Huo Yuhao extending his hand, the other Tang Sect members also stacked their hands on top and said in unison, "Tang Sect, come on!"

Over at Shrek Academy, Dai Yaoheng withdrew his gaze and curiously remarked, "They conceded yet they're still full of spirit. Are they so confident about defeating the other teams?"

The teams participating this time were stronger than those they encountered in the previous Continental Young Soul Masters Elite Competition!

Winning the championship wouldn't be an easy task!

Thinking to himself, Ningtian considered, "Tang Sect's team has Huo Yuhao with his almost monstrous martial soul command, plus Soul Douluo like Xiao Tao and Tang Ya. And then there's Bei Bei and Xu San Shi, not to mention Wang Dong'er, who is at the Soul Emperor level but possesses a hundred-thousand-year soul ring..."

This lineup had far surpassed the top tier!

Xiao Xiao, sharing the sentiment, said, "If we didn't have Elder Qian Yu, I fear no other team would pose a threat to Tang Sect!"

Their team, having two Soul Sages and six Soul Emperors, relied on the Titled Douluo Elder Qian Yu to stand a chance of advancing to the finals.

He Caitou's honest look in his eyes faded as he asked Elder Qian Yu, "By the way, Elder Qian Yu... what level of soul Master are you now?"

Qian Yu smiled lightly and mouthed a single word...

And when He Caitou saw Elder Qian Yu move his lips twice to form that word, he felt his scalp tingle...

Level 19 soul Master!

That was a terrifying existence from legends!

Being capable of wiping out an entire country single-handedly, and for Qian Yu to have reached this level at such a young age...

It was simply astonishing!

In the matches that followed, Shrek Academy did not have to compete again, and the thirty-two teams have now been reduced to sixteen. The teams that lost their matches will have to compete against each other, with the sole winner granted the opportunity to advance directly to the quarterfinals!

The elder scanned the crowd and sternly announced, "The competition has now entered an intense phase. Every team that has reached this stage consists of members who are the pride of the Continent!"

"In the upcoming matches, the opponents you will face are going to be increasingly powerful. I hope each team has prepared their strategies to present a splendid contest for themselves and for everyone here!"

"Today's matches are concluded, and you may now leave!"

With those words, team after team suddenly stood up and left the arena...

…

When Qian Yu and the others had returned to their room at Shrek Academy, the door was soon met with a succession of "tap, tap, tap" knocking sounds...

Qian Yu was startled for a moment, stood up, and opened the door...

What caught her eyes was the smiling face of Tang Ya waving at her, "Qian Yu!"

And behind her stood the other members of the Tang Sect team...

The members from Shrek Academy, upon seeing it was Tang Ya and the others, withdrew their gazes and continued with what they were doing...

Qian Yu stepped aside to make room and said, "Sister Tang Ya, please come in, everyone!"

Bei Bei teased, "Qian Yu, we're here to find you this time!"

Qian Yu asked in confusion, "You're here to find me?"

Then she turned her gaze towards Wang Dong'er, only to see the latter's pinkish-purple eyes playfully winking at her...

Jiang Nannan's eyes sparkled as she said, "That's right, we've finally come to the Sun-Moon Empire, so we must take a good tour around, right?"

The corner of Qian Yu's mouth twitched, "Sister Tang Ya, do you mean to go shopping?"

The area was currently completely surrounded by evil Soul Masters or hidden powerhouses from certain sects...

Was it really appropriate to go shopping at a time like this?

"That's right! Except for Sister Xiao Tao, it's all our first time here, so of course we want to thoroughly check out the shops!"

Xu Sanshi urged, "Let's not talk anymore, just come with us! Your Dong'er is almost too impatient to wait!"

Wang Dong'er's face turned a shade rosier but shot back without showing any weakness, "Senior Brother Xu... it's you who can't wait to go shopping with Sister Nannan, isn't it?"

Xu Sanshi, without denying or feeling any shame, grabbed Jiang Nannan's wrist...

And she, as if used to it, did not actively pull away...

Qian Yu said helplessly, "Sister Tang Ya, isn't it unsafe to go shopping right now?"

Tang Ya blinked her beautiful eyes, "That's why we came to find you! With an Elder from the Sea God's Pavilion accompanying us, it should be safer"

"As for President Yan, he mentioned he'd be away, and since then, he has never returned!"

Since Tang Ya and the others insisted, Qian Yu no longer refused...

She said with a faint smile, "I understand!"

With him around, he figured protecting the seven of them wouldn't be much of a problem...

Then he spoke to Dai Yaoheng and the others, "Guys, I'm going out for a while with Sister Tang Ya and the rest. Take care of yourselves."

Upon hearing this, Dai Yaoheng and the others nodded and said, "Understood, Elder Qian Yu!"

After getting a response, Qian Yu casually opened a large grey and white vortex within the room...

He gave a serious reminder, "If something happens, escape through this vortex, and I will instantly sense your location!"

He was still somewhat afraid some evil Soul Master would take advantage of his absence to make a move on them!

After doing all this, Qian Yu left the room with the Tang Sect team...

Once they had all departed, Ningtian curiously looked at the Nether Vortex and wondered, "I'm not sure where this vortex leads to!"

Xiao Xiao's eyes flickered a few times, "I really want to try going in!"

Wu Feng stood up, his face filled with hesitation, and bit his lip saying, "Well... guys, there's something I want to tell you! It's about Elder Qian Yu!"

...…
