Chapter 271.
This marks the end of the first round.
Today's competition had two games that shocked Tang San and the others the most.
The first one was of Godwind Academy!
That's right, although Blazing Academy surrendered to them, Blazing Academy and Godwind Academy had combined forces! Their combination was incredibly powerful, leading to a crushing victory against their opponent. This is clearly a loophole in the rules and maybe a connection with the Soul Hall.
Although substitutions are not allowed in the finals, changing academies is possible with the approval of Soul Hall.
The second shock came from Jiu Yikai! He released his second martial soul and defeated the War God Academy with overwhelming force.
The power of his second revealed martial soul has made many academies and even the Soul Hall to take notice of Jiu Yikai!
That night in a hotel in Soul City:
"How come! How can your Soul Hall's medical soul master not able to save Xiaotian?" a man in a teacher's costume roared.
In front of him stood a man wearing Soul Hall clothes with a very calm expression.
On the hospital bed, Zhan Xiaotian was sweating profusely, his whole body tense. Although he did not scream, anyone could tell he was enduring great pain.
He had been like this since the end of the game.
Although there was an accompanying medical soul master, it was completely ineffective. Desperately, the leader of the War God Academy sought out a senior medical soul master from the Soul Hall for treatment.
"Sorry, I'm only level 54," said the man in the deacon robe of the Soul Hall, shaking his head.
"However, there is a 76th-level medical Soul Saint in the main hall who might be able to heal him. But the Soul Saint only treats members of the Soul Hall. If you join the Soul Hall, I can report to the higher-ups to let the Master Soul Saint to heal him."
Hearing this, the teacher fell silent. The rest of the players also fell silent.
The War God Academy is the most prestigious academy in the Star Luo Empire; how could they possibly join Soul Hall?
"Alternatively, he could join the Soul Hall alone," the Deacon of the Soul Hall continued. "If he joins, our Master Soul Saint can heal him."
It was clear they wanted Zhan Xiaotian to join Soul Hall, recognizing his potential. With Zhan Xiaotian's monstrous martial soul, any force would value it.
"No." Zhan Xiaotian, although delirious, could still speak intermittently. "Thank you for the kindness..."
Hearing this, the deacon's expression changed. He snorted coldly, got up, and left!
He had been instructed by the Supreme Pontiff/Pope to heal Zhan Xiaotian. According to the Pope's instructions, if Zhan Xiaotian did not intend to join the Soul Hall, they should not concern themselves further.
Watching the Soul Hall deacon leave, the room grew even more silent.
"What the heck is the spear soul of that Jiu Yikai!" Long Yu gritted his teeth and said. "Its power is so immense that even a wound can't be healed!"
If they had taken a direct hit, they might have died on the spot. Fortunately, the captain surrendered in time, and Jiu Yikai did not aim to kill them.
"What should we do, teacher Tian?" the other team members asked, looking at their leader.
The teacher was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot but had no solution.
At this moment, a breeze blew in and a dark figure suddenly appeared outside the window!
"Jiu Yikai!" the Dewdrop Soul Master shouted, instantly drawing everyone's attention!
"What are you doing here?" Mr. Tian, the team leader, asked coldly, his pupils slightly contracted as he looked out the window. Seven soul rings appeared around him, as he watched Jiu Yikai warily.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to cause trouble," Jiu Yikai said hoarsely.
"If you want him to live, everyone must leave. I can heal him! Don't argue, you have no reason to refuse. The Soul Hall won't save him and you lot can't save him too!"
The attack of the God Killing Spear is on par with the Red Lotus Karmic Fire in terms of severity. It can't be cured by anyone in the Douluo World. Even the Titled Douluo of the Healing System... Wang Feng wasn't sure if they could heal it because he had never seen a Titled Douluo of the healing type.
Hearing this, the group fell silent.
"He has at most one day to live," Wang Feng continued.
Hearing this, the hearts of several people trembled.
"Get out!" Teacher Tian said in a low voice.
After speaking, Mr. Tian led the other team members out. He believed that Jiu Yikai could save Zhan Xiaotian. After all, the wound was caused by him, so he must have a way to heal it. Additionally, there was no enmity between them, and there was no reason to kill Zhan Xiaotian. Most importantly, they had no other options.
Indeed, Wang Feng did not intend to kill Zhan Xiaotian. Without any grudges, Wang Feng actually admired his martial soul and his personal prowess.
This War God Beast martial soul is on par with the top and most powerful martial souls in the whole continent. In the original work, Wang Feng had never seen such martial soul and wondered what would become of them later.
After everyone dispersed, Wang Feng used the Golden Lotus, which can perfectly cure Zhan Xiaotian.
In his unconscious state, Zhan Xiaotian couldn't see anything. The Golden Lotus turned slightly, and a beam of golden energy fell directly on the wound on his arm.
The wound healed quickly, and Wang Feng retrieved the Golden Lotus.
It only took two or three seconds.
As soon as the wound healed, Zhan Xiaotian suddenly opened his eyes, looking at Jiu Yikai, who was turning to leave, with a complicated expression.
"Thank you for your help," Zhan Xiaotian said in a low, hoarse voice.
Although the wounds were caused by his opponent, no one can be blamed for injuries in the game, one can only blame oneself for being weak.
Wang Feng shook his head, did not answer, and disappeared into the night.
After a while, teacher Tian walked in with a few team members.
"Xiaotian, how is the situation... Are you alright?" Teacher Tian asked, stunned to see Zhan Xiaotian fully conscious.
"I'm alright," Zhan Xiaotian smiled, touching the wound's location, feeling a bit amazed.
Zhan Xiaotian smiled and touched the –position of the wound, feeling a bit amazed.
"The pain of this wound seemed to hit the soul directly, and no treatment was effective. Although my consciousness was very vague just now, I knew that even the 76th-level Soul Saint in the Soul Hall would not be able to heal it," Zhan Xiaotian explained.
"This Jiu Yikai... he's really not easy," Zhan Xiaotian sighed. "I didn't expect someone so strong at this age... What makes me admire him even more is that he came to save me."
"How did he heal you?" Teacher Tian asked after a moment of silence.
"I don't know," Zhan Xiaotian replied, shaking his head.
"I just felt a little warmth in my arm, as a burst of energy flowed into it, and the wound healed... Maybe it's the ability of his spear, which can both cause and heal wounds. Teacher, tomorrow I'll pretend that I still don't look well and leave Soul City directly."
"Otherwise, the people in Soul Hall Palace will be suspicious," Zhan Xiaotian continued. Although his martial soul is of the power type, his mind is extremely clever, which is why he is the captain.
"Alright," Teacher Tian agreed.
The next day, the second round begins.
In this round, Purple Star Academy, having secured first place in the Heaven Dou Empire promotion tournament, had a bye. This gave Wang Feng the chance to watch Tang San and the others. However–, when Wang Feng arrived at the rest area of Shrek Academy, he found the group unusually silent.
"Master, who are they up against?" Wang Feng asked curiously.
"It's the seed team of the Star Luo Empire Royal Academy," the Grandmaster said, shaking his head. "They're a strong enemy, comparable to the War God Academy."
Hearing this, Wang Feng nodded. The seed team of the Star Luo Empire Imperial Academy had a bye in the first round. Unexpectedly, Tang San and the others would face them in the second round. If Wang Feng remembered correctly, this academy had some connection with Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.
"Brother Feng, are you watching the game today?" Tang San asked, smiling. "I didn't expect us to meet a strong enemy today. But I did some research—the Star Luo Empire Imperial Academy team is actually weaker than yesterday's War God Academy. Our chances of winning are not low..."
Despite Tang San's words, the others remained silent.
"That's good," Wang Feng nodded slightly, then turned to look at Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.
"Is something wrong?" he asked slowly.
Everyone else also looked at the two of them. From the moment Dean Flender informed them of their opponents, they had noticed the unease in Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.
"Okay," Zhu Zhuqing, whose expression brightened at the sight of Wang Feng, nodded slightly. She stood up and exchanged glances with Dai Mubai.
"You or me?"
Depressed, Dai Mubai stood up but remained silent.
At that moment, a girl with short sky-blue hair walked into the lounge area with a smile. "Little Bai, I heard you have a game today. Good luck!" she said.
The girl was Shui Yue'er.
Everyone was stunned to see her.
"What's wrong with you all? I'm here to cheer for you!" Shui Yue'er said, surprised by their reactions.
