Chapter 221.
So far, the five elemental academies, excluding Elephant Armored Academy had only lost two or three games each.
Blazing Academy had only lost to Purple Star, Shrek, and Skywater academies. Thunder Academy had also lost one game to Godwind Academy, one automatically surrendered to Purple Star Academy, and one lost to Blazing Academy. GodwindAcademy lost one game to Purple Star Academy and one to Blazing Academy. Skywater Academy lost one game to Godwind and one to Thunderclap Academy.
These four teams had a good chance of qualifying steadily, and as for Purple Star Academy there's no doubt about their qualification.
Shrek Academy had a high probability of losing to Purple Star Academy, meaning they would also lose two games, so winning against Thunderclap Academy and Skywater Academy became imperative for them to qualify. Tang San was confident in defeating Skywater Academy due to his Blue Silver Grass and his other abilities. However, Thunderclap Academy posed a challenge, hence the reason for Wang Feng to play and secure an absolute victory against them.
"By the way, is there a match featuring Jiu Yikai today?" Tang San suddenly inquired.
"Yes, but the opponent should be surrendering," Ning Rongrong replied after a moment of thought. "We haven't seen Jiu Yikai in action for six days. Since Godwind Academy's defeat, other teams have mostly conceded defeat when encountering him and Purple Star Academy. Even Thunderclap Academy avoided facing them after their match against Godwind. Only Skywater Academy remains."
"Today's opponent of the Purple Star Academy, seems to be a very ordinary academy," Ning Rongrong continued. "Their record is... Ugh, 20 games played, 19 losses, 1 win."
Having received early news, they paid close attention to every game involving the Purple Star Academy.
"In that case... I suppose there's not much to watch," Tang San said with a smile. "Let's go, this should be the easiest match for us against the Five Elements Academy!"
With that, Tang San led Wang Feng and the rest of the team through the passage to the ring. Meanwhile, Grandmaster and his group made their way to the viewing platform to watch the match.
"It seems these kids have already settled on their tactics. I thought they would save Xiao Feng to play against the Purple Star Academy first," Flender remarked with a smile. "Surprisingly clever move, using him against Thunderclap Academy to secure a stable victory. Frankly, after watching Jiu Yikai in so many matches, it's impossible to estimate his specific strength."
"There aren't enough things revealed of Jiu Yikai," Liu Erlong pondered, her tone growing slightly impatient. "It would be preferable if we could incite a confrontation. Tang San and the others didn't bring Zhu Zhuqing onto the field, indicating they don't intend to utilize the martial soul fusion skill. Could they be possibly making Xiaofeng reveal his strength? His current exposure is a tad excessive."
"Hahaha, why not? This kid's second soul ability is quite extraordinary. You may not have witnessed it yet, but you'll see later," Zhao Wuji chimed in, with a hint of apprehension. "I have a feeling we'll witness something 'explosive' in the ring!"
Even Grandmasters seldom witnessed Wang Feng's using his second soul ability, but its potency was undeniable. Zhao Wuji, having felt its impact up and close, when the kid was only at level thirty, shuddered. By level forty-five, he doubted he could endure it more than a few times.
Encountering soul masters above forty levels individually would spell certain defeat.
"Is it really that remarkable?" Liu Erlong, having never witnessed it herself, glanced at the Grandmaster, seeking clarification.
The master coughed a few times, "Watch the game, watch the game."
At that moment, the two teams began playing again. Soon, the surrounding audience started cheering, with Thunderclap Academy clearly enjoying considerable popularity.
The only notable difference was that this time, Shrek Academy was facing Thunder Academy, and it appeared that a rare face had emerged among them!
Until they laid eyes on the newly appeared Wang Feng, everyone suddenly realized who he was!
It was happening!
In the VIP seats.
"Twenty matches in, is this kid finally taking the field again?" Ning Fengzhi, feeling a bit drowsy from watching fourteen matches in a day, noted that not all the matches were equally thrilling.
Previously, whether it was Shrek Academy, the other five elemental academies, or even Purple Star Academy, he had been fully engaged, and the competition had been intense. However, the excitement naturally waned during matches involving other teams, prompting not only Ning Fengzhi but also the other VIP guests to leave early.
"But it seems they didn't bring that girl? Are they not planning to use the Martial Soul Fusion technique this time?" A smile crept onto Gu Rong's face.
"However, Thunderclap Academy isn't to be underestimated either. They appear to have fielded only two main players. Are they that confident in Wang Feng?"
The five elemental academies this year were all exceptionally strong.
The main force of Shrek Academy was also clearly recognized by them, they naturally knew who they were.
"I'm looking forward to seeing this kid in action," Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up with interest.
Twenty matches had passed, except for the one against Elephant Armored Academy, he was finally playing again. Moreover, in the match against Elephant Armored Academy, he didn't really showcased his abilities. This time, he should take the field himself, right?
After pondering it, Ning Fengzhi realized he hadn't witnessed it firsthand. Naturally, he was eagerly anticipating Wang Feng's true performance.
"I want to see too," Gu Rong also nodded in agreement.
"Is Wang Feng taking the field again? And they're not planning to use the Martial Soul Fusion Technique. He's an auxiliary system soul master. With only two main players from Shrek Academy, I'm also quite interested in seeing Thunderclap Academy's defeat. I'm curious to see how they'll handle this match," Bishop Salas seemed to be in a particularly good mood today, a faint smile gracing his face.
Behind Thunderclap Academy stood the Blue Lightning Tyrant dragon Clan, not affiliated with their Soul Hall, so he was content to watch whoever emerged victorious.
The audience, upon seeing the members of Shrek Academy take to the field, erupted into cheers. Wang Feng and his team were unforgettable, but what they truly wanted to see was Zhu Zhuqing—Zhu Zhuqing after the martial soul fusion technique. They yearned to witness Zhu Zhuqing, akin to a goddess of ice and fire, once again, hence the enthusiastic cheers!
However, as everyone noticed that only Wang Feng was on the court, the cheers slowly died down. With the goddess not playing, they turned their attention to a different spectacle.
Wang Feng: "..."
From stepping out of the aisle to entering the ring, the surrounding audience grew much quieter. Naturally, Wang Feng could guess the reason somewhat and couldn't help but think to himself, just how popular is Zhuqing? After the martial soul fusion skills, she almost reached the peak of her charm.
Now that he's the only one on the court, the disappointment is even more palpable for the audience. It's truly frustrating.
At the same time, Wang Feng also observed the members from Thunderclap Academy. The leader was Yu Tianxin, akin to the previous Yu Tianheng Shrek Academy faced, from the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan. He was a little older but possessed talent and strength that were no less remarkable.
His soul power level was forty-five. So far, Wang Feng hadn't encountered a team above level 50, and it was unlikely to occur in the Heaven Dou Empire. In addition to Yu Tianxin, there were three soul masters above level forty, all specializing in thunder attributes.
Lei Tian, forty-three level soul power, martial spirit Thunder Hawk.
Lei Dong, forty-three level soul power, martial soul Thunder Spider.
Lei Mie, soul power forty-two, martial soul Thunder Lion.
Following them were two Lei Jiu Chong, a 39th level soul master and Xiao Yun Ju, a 40th-rank soul master. Their soul power levels were exceptionally high, slightly superior to even Godwind Academy.
From Thunderclap Academy's decision to avoid Purple Star Academy, it was evident that Yu Tianxin wasn't reckless. Thunderclap Academy was exceptionally formidable.
So far, they had lost to Godwind and Purple Star Academy only. Another loss to Blazing Fire occurred because Thunder Academy didn't field their main force, and Yu Tianxin didn't participate in that game.
The main reason was Godwind's Academy's tactics. When facing Thunder Academy, they deliberately targeted Yu Tianxin, neglecting the other six members, leaving Yu Tianxin injured. It took several days for him to recover. Unfortunately, those two days coincided with another match against Blazing Academy. It was clear that Godwind Academy's actions were intentional.
Therefore, after Yu Tianxin encountered Purple Star Academy, he chose to surrender. Otherwise, if he got injured again, it would be not justifiable.
After the referee saw the two teams, he said solemnly, "Both team ready?"
The leaders of the two teams emerged one after another.
"You don't plan to use the Martial Soul Fusion Technique?" Yu Tianxin glanced at Dai Mubai and remarked lightly, "Why isn't that girl playing? Do you look down on us?"
With that sentence, it was evident that Thunderclap Academy also had done their fair share of research on Shrek Academy, even if Wang Feng had only played once. Thunderclap Academy remembered him clearly!
Having witnessed Wang Feng in action, understanding dawned naturally.
"No, it's actually opposite, we hold you in extremely high regard, that's why our monstrous captain will play today," Dai Mubai replied with a peculiar smile. "What does it signify?"
Yu Tianxin frowned, "Isn't his most formidable aspect his ability to perform martial soul fusion technique with that girl? Otherwise, can he, as an auxiliary system soul master, change the outcome against all of us and defeat us Thunderclap Academy?"
Yu Tianxin harbored extreme apprehension towards the two's martial soul fusion technique. Zhu Zhuqing in that state was something he couldn't resist.
"You'll find out soon," Dai Mubai said, clasping his fists, introducing his team, and then stepping back.
Yu Tianxin snorted coldly and proceeded with his team's introduction.
"Release Martial Souls! Let the game BEGIN!!"
With the referee's command, the seven individuals led by Yu Tianxin revealed their martial soul and soul ring!
