Among the top five teams, only Shrek Academy has lost a match. Meanwhile, the Four Elemental Academies remain undefeated, attracting even more attention.

Tang San patted Ma Hongjun's shoulder, consoling him:

"There's no need to get upset. Today, two of the Elemental Academies will definitely lose. As long as we beat Canghui Academy, we'll rank in the top three as well. But remember, rankings aren't the most important thing. What matters is defeating our opponents in the elimination rounds and making it to the finals."

Oscar chimed in, "San Ge is right. It's no big deal if we're the last to compete."

Yu Xiaogang nodded. He felt that Tang San had matured quite a bit overnight after experiencing that one loss.

"We don't need to chase rankings; qualifying is all that matters. Showing off too much won't do us any good.

The Four Elemental Academies are facing off today, so they're bound to go all out, especially Feng Xiaotian from Godwind Academy. Our match is last, which gives us plenty of time to observe their skills and gather more information."

Gradually, everyone calmed down.

"Teacher, that's what I was thinking too," Tang San said. He speculated that since Godwind Academy was facing Thunderclap Academy, they wouldn't hold back any longer if they wanted to win.

Yesterday's loss to Blazing Academy still felt somewhat related to Feng Xiaotian. Today was a perfect opportunity to carefully observe how he performed against such a strong opponent.

The audience was as lively as ever today.

Several high-stakes matches were scheduled, and even before the competition started, the crowd was already buzzing with excitement. To enhance the spectacle, matches between strong teams were arranged on the central arena.

Ten minutes before the official start, the audience learned that the top four teams would be facing each other. All four teams had maintained an 11-match undefeated streak.

The crowd eagerly anticipated the two exciting showdowns.

Of course, the match between the 10-win, 1-loss Shrek Academy and the 8-win, 3-loss Canghui Academy also had plenty of attention.

Tang San stood in the corner, watching from afar as the members of Godwind Academy, laughing and chatting, gathered in the rest area.

He was looking forward to the upcoming battle between Godwind Academy and Thunderclap Academy.

Soon, the official matches began.

Godwind Academy, along with the other nine academies, emerged from the rest area.

Among the first set of matchups, one was a clash of titans.

The audience was packed, with deafening cheers resounding through the arena.

Some were cheering for Thunderclap Academy, but most were rooting for Feng Xiaotian and Godwind Academy.

Thunderclap Academy had immense strength. With their thunder attribute, their soul masters had incredible offensive power and explosiveness.

In terms of pure attack power, they were the strongest among the 28 participating teams.

Moreover, the thunder element countered many martial spirits and other elements, which was one of the key reasons they had been able to maintain their winning streak.

Thunderclap Academy had four soul masters above level 40 on their team.

They took this match seriously, fielding all four of their level-40-plus soul masters to go head-to-head with Godwind Academy.

Although the two academies hadn't faced each other directly in previous matches, they had competed in the same group.

In one instance, Feng Xiaotian, on a secondary stage, released two ten-thousand-year spirit rings, stealing the spotlight from Yu Tianxin, who was showcasing his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon spirit on the main stage.

This time, Thunderclap Academy was determined to reclaim their pride, even though their opponents had a Soul King-level soul master.

Before the battle, Feng Xiaotian had already studied the abilities of Thunderclap Academy's members.

The greatest strengths of a thunder attribute martial spirit are its powerful attack and explosive force, but it also has its flaws. Such formidable soul skills consume a great deal of soul power each time they're used. If the attack misses the target, that energy is wasted. Opponents can take advantage of this by using speed to evade.

Thus, when facing agility-type soul masters, Thunderclap Academy doesn't have the upper hand. Every member of Godwind Academy, however, possesses the ability to fly, embodying the traits of agility-type fighters. If the battle turns into a war of attrition, Godwind Academy would not be at a disadvantage.

Still, Feng Xiaotian had a plan and did not intend to engage Thunderclap Academy in a head-on confrontation or a battle of endurance.

Thunderclap Academy, on the other hand, had also studied the abilities of Godwind Academy's members. Aside from Feng Xiaotian, whose true power remained a mystery, they were confident in defeating the others. After all, their team also included soul masters capable of flight, and their lightning attribute gave them the advantage of long-range attacks.

As the referee's voice rang out, the 14 members from Godwind Academy and Thunderclap Academy took their places on the central stage.

In the lineup for Godwind Academy, Feng Xiaotian stood at the front, with the six other members arrayed behind him. Across from them, Thunderclap Academy's captain, Yu Tianxin, and vice-captain, Lei Dong, led their team, with five other members standing behind them.

Yu Tianxin was a level-43 assault-type soul master, wielding the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial spirit. As a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan, one of the Seven Great Sects, he was also the cousin of Yu Tianheng, the captain of Tian Dou Royal Academy's team.

Yu Tianxin was the first to speak:

"Feng Xiaotian, you're the only Soul King among the 28 academies in this tournament. However, you've yet to show your true strength. I won't lie—Thunderclap Academy isn't holding anything back in this match. We're fielding our full force. So, you'd better be prepared."

Feng Xiaotian smiled calmly and replied, "Thank you for your honesty. Your Thunderclap team is indeed strong, and I'm glad to face you. I also admire your courage and determination. Rest assured, I'll give it my all to defeat you."

"Good to hear!" Yu Tianxin was someone who valued strength and respect, and Feng Xiaotian's words showed him both.

Among the elements, lightning was undeniably the most powerful. Feng Xiaotian knew that if the wind element could fuse with the lightning element, the resulting power would be even greater than fusing with fire or water. Unfortunately, Yu Tianxin belonged to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan, walking a different path.

In the VIP seats, Ning Fengzhi, Emperor Xue Ye, and Platinum Bishop Salas were all intently watching the central stage, eagerly anticipating the match.

Over in the soul master stands, the Shrek Academy members had their eyes on Feng Xiaotian as well.

Seeing Yu Tianxin enter the stage, Yu Xiaogang's brows furrowed slightly.

Yu Tianxin, like Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong, was born into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan, a direct descendant, and their nephew.

At this moment, Liu Erlong stood beside Yu Xiaogang.

As Yu Tianxin's aunt, she naturally hoped that Thunderclap Academy would win. However, Feng Xiaotian had two ten-thousand-year spirit rings and had already reached the level of a Soul King. Moreover, he had barely shown his true strength in previous battles. Defeating him would not be easy.
