--- Chapter 254 ---

Liu Erlong randomly brought out seven sticks from her spatial storage and said, "Let's start the draw."

"Take one of these." She continued while looking at the new golden generation.

Bai Xue shrugged her shoulders and casually walked forward without any worry.

She picked one stick and saw the [West Martial School] character on it.

"Not bad, I suppose?" Bai Xue glanced at the familiar-looking person on the west martial school's side.

Bai Xue wondered who this person was, but Yu Ning'er abruptly pushed her aside and picked a random stick.

"Why did you push me away like that!" Bai Xue complained.

"Meh, you're standing for too long." Yu Ning'er answered while looking at her stick.

[East Martial School]

"After all, we are here to test something."

Yu Ning'er calmly looked at her fellow maids, who disappeared from their original positions.

Chu Xiaoyu already grabbed one stick, and [Northern Beast's Team] characters beautifully were written on it.

They barely survived the last round because Yunlong's majestic destroyer flame was their major weakness.

Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing's expression was stoic like always. Even though [Star Luo Imperial Academy] was written on her stick, she doesn't care.

Hu Liena and Su Yanyu looked at each other and sighed a few moments because their eyes couldn't catch these two girls' movements.

"They are so fast." Su Yanyu commented while looking at Chu Xiaoyu. "Even in my strongest form, I probably couldn't catch them."

"Don't get me started." Hu Liena responded with a wry smile.

"Yanyu, what are you waiting for?" Liu Erlong commented.

Su Yanyu shook her head and quickly walked toward her teacher. "I'll take a break after this tournament." She said while picking a stick.

"Are you sure?" Liu Erlong smiled because if any of her students wanted to take a break, they would have to increase their training twofold.

"Yes." Su Yanyu picked one stick, leaving the rest for Hu Liena and Kaguya.

Hu Liena glanced over the balcony and saw Bibi Dong smile at her.

"Do your best." Bibi Dong said softly, which caught Hu Liena off guard.

"Move." Kaguya quietly said while standing behind Hu Liena.

Hu Liena snapped out of her thoughts and immediately stepped aside. "Wait, eh?" She responded rather oddly.

Liu Erlong noticed Kaguya manipulated Hu Liena's spiritual energy, which caused her to frown for a moment.

She moved toward them and said, "Pick one."

Kaguya casually picked one and walked away, leaving Hu Liena speechless.

When that silver-haired woman whispers into her ears, Hu Liena's body instinctively moves away for no reason.

"What was that?" Hu Liena murmured while looking at the last stick on Liu Erlong's hand.

"Here." Liu Erlong gently smiled and placed the stick in Hu Liena's hand.

Hu Liena frowned and lowered her head, seeing [Mirage Sky Sect] as her opponent.

After a few months, Kaguya adapted quite well to this new world. She even learned a new language and discovered an unknown force of power.

"Shrek Seven Devils," Kaguya mumbled while looking at her stick.

Liu Erlong floated on the air and declared, "Well, let's change the field!"

BOOM!

The entire stage was broken into seven parts and moved away from each other, forming a seven-pointed star.

The new golden generation swiftly moved to the star's corners and looked at their opponents.

"The game is simple. All you need to do is defeat your opponent to pass through this round." Liu Erlong playfully stated.

"Then what about them?" Tang San asked while warily looking at Kaguya.

"Of course, the golden generation will have a different objective to pass this round." Liu Erlong responded with a chuckle.

"The golden generation has to defeat at least four teams to pass, but if they defeat 6, we'll proceed to the final round immediately."

"What if we all of them defeat them instead?" asked The red-haired young man from west martial school.

'How naive.' Liu Erlong looked at the red-haired kid, who probably hadn't encountered enough harsh reality.

"If four of the golden generation lost, the entire team would instantly lose from this round." Liu Erlong firmly said, which caused the red-haired young man's eyes to brighten.

Even the other team has the same excitement because they could defame the spirit hall from their winning throne.

The spirit hall's team has never lost for years because they are too strong compared to the other. However, it wouldn't be the same in this tournament.

With a minimum statement from Liu Erlong, they became spirited enough to fight in this round. They aren't aware of the danger standing right in front of them.

"The third round began!" Liu Erlong declared.

"Formation!" The west martial school's captain, Zhong Fei, shouted.

Zhong Fei looked at the red-haired girl and moved his gaze to one of his teammates, who possessed the exact resemblance.

"Bai Feng, do you know her?" Zhong Fei asked.

Bai Feng, who hadn't seen his sister for years, couldn't help but have a grim expression. "She's my sister." He coldly responded.

"I see, wait... Your sister?!" Zhong Fei was surprised because Bai Feng's sister was quite famous in their school.

Bai Xue ran away from her noble family because she didn't want to fulfill the arranged marriage, which caused Bai Clan to be indebted.

The west martial school was the one that settled the debt, but Bai Feng must become their student in return.

"How hilarious. To think, my useless sister would be in the spirit hall out of all places." Bai Feng's eyes became cold.

Zhong Fei patted his teammate's shoulder and commented, "Calm down."

"We didn't know how powerful she was."

Bai Feng sneered and replied, "No matter how strong my sister became, her worthless broom martial soul won't cause a problem for us."

"Broom?" Zhong Fei and the other teammates frowned.

"Unlike me, my sister is talentless." Bai Feng added.

Bai Xue was yawning because these people spoke a lot but didn't move a single step.

"Hmm, now I remember." She looked at the red-haired teenager, who reminded her of an annoying gremlin.

Bai Xue's mouth twitched because upsetting memories resurface one after another.

"I missed you a lot, Bai Feng." Bai Xue grinned while bringing out her broom.

A simple graze onto the ground causes a fire spark, which startles Bai Feng.

Bai Xue's body abruptly was covered with a golden flame dress, and a witch hat appeared on top of her head.

"Huh?" Bai Feng's eyes widened because Bai Xue's spirit ring slowly appeared one by one. "Purple, purple, purple, black, and black."

"Don't be too surprised." Bai Xue chuckled. "I'm one of the shadow saintess after all."

As Bai Xue spoke those words, the other stages also caused an uproar.

Yu Ning'er wore armor made of pure lightning and grasped a thunder spear that released a dragon roar. "Let's stretch my body a little bit." She said while thousands of volts were running on her body.

Chu Xiaoyu still looked the same, except white mist was surrounding her.

She tilted her sword and whispered, "Ice Age."

BOOM!

The part of that stage instantly was covered by ice, turning into an extreme battlefield.

Chu Xiaoyu looked at the Northern Beast's team and quietly said, "Don't fall too quickly..."

Zhu Zhuqing activated her martial soul, but she didn't show her spirit rings and walked toward the Star Luo Imperial Academy's team.

"Sister." Zhu Zhuqing drew out Gentle Snow and Serene Shade.

"Zhuqing." Zhu Zhuyun responded and naturally stood in front of her.

They stared at each other and quickly clashed because no more words literally were needed in this battle.

Hu Liena and Su Yanyu also activated their martial soul and transformation skills. It was overkill, but they don't want to be left behind by these girls.

Meanwhile, Seven Shrek Devils are in a bizarre position because Kaguya is just standing on the corner without doing anything.

Tang San wasn't planning for anything and activated his martial soul like his teammate.

He tried to form a blue silver grass field on the stage, but Kaguya suddenly reacted and walked toward them.

"What's she doing?" Tang San frowned because he couldn't read Kaguya at all.

He tried to bind her with his blue silver grass, making several vines grasp around Kaguya's body.

"After you bind her, I'll launch my fireball." Ma Xiaotao said while preparing for her spirit skill.

"Eh?"

As the blue silver vines were about to reach Kaguya's body, they bent slightly akin to bowing down for some reason.

Kaguya tilted her head because she felt a strong connection from the grass.

She grasped control over these grass, causing a silver light to cover the entire arena.

"Like this?" Kaguya whispered while looking at the Seven Shrek Devils.

A great shadow covered the entire arena, and Tang San's eyes went wide because an enormous wave of silver grass abruptly appeared out of nowhere.

"An evolved blue silver empress obviously took over weak blue silver grass, right?" Yunlong gradually smiled on the balcony.
