After all, this is the grandest event on the entire Continent.
Every power hoped that their team would achieve good results in this big competition.
This included the two great Empires as well.
The teams they sent were from their own nations, and if they obtained good results in this competition, it would be a reflection of their country's comprehensive national strength.
At this moment, each team began to take their seats.
The members of the Dou Huang Battle Team also arrived at the Spirit City Continental Senior Soul Master competition scene to take their seats.
At present, they were all looking around.
Their expressions revealed a trace of nervousness.
Because their leader Ye Feng and captain Yu Tianheng had not yet arrived at the scene.
Right now, they were very anxious in their hearts, wondering whether the two would be able to make it in time for the first round of the competition.
"There are still five minutes until the competition starts, why haven't Instructor Feng and the captain, Yu Tianheng, come back yet, and whether the captain has successfully advanced to level 70!"
Osslor said with a worried tone.
"They should be on their way back now, and whether they can advance to level 70, that should be a very difficult thing," said Dugu Yan to the others.
She was very anxious in her heart.
After all, the competition was about to begin.
As for whether Yu Tianheng could advance to level 70, it all depended on himself, after all, Instructor Feng was just an assistant, and the breakthrough would ultimately rely on oneself.
And to be honest, one night was a bit short.
Even if the instructor himself had strong abilities,
he probably didn't have the ability to help someone advance in such a short period of time.
But even if he didn't advance, Yu Tianheng must have improved a lot.
The methods Instructor Feng had for improving others were something they were very clear about.
"He should be able to reach level 70, and perhaps he could even have absorbed a Soul Ring."
Zhu Qing, who rarely spoke, said to everyone.
She wasn't talking nonsense.
Having experienced the instructor's devilish training last time, he indeed had the ability to achieve it.
But the question was whether Yu Tianheng could endure it.
If he had endured it, then this time he must have definitely reached the level of a Soul Sage.
Even the Soul Ring, the instructor had helped him to find one.
Of course, if he couldn't withstand it, then all of this would be moot.
"Zhuqing Sister, that's a bit of an exaggeration!"
Ye Lingling couldn't quite believe what she heard.
Advancing to level 70 in one night, let alone finding a Soul Ring, seemed just as fake as it gets.
But this was said by Zhuqing Sister,
who hardly ever spoke nonsense.
Moreover, the main executor of this matter was the instructor.
For them, the instructor was a complete enigma.
So now she was somewhat incredulous but also somewhat believing.
"Zhuqing Sister, I remember that you also went through a similar special training with the instructor last time, so how exactly did the instructor train you?"
At this moment, Dugu Yan turned to Zhu Qing.
Zhu Qing was now a level 56 Soul King.
It was the instructor who had taken her under special training when she was at level 55.
So now she wanted to know how exactly the instructor had managed to enhance their levels.
By taking pills?
If it was by taking pills, it didn't seem like it would allow for much progress.
"Zhu Qing, come on, tell us, what kind of devil is the instructor?"
Yufeng and Shimo, along with others, looked very interested upon hearing Dugu Yan's question.
"Combat."
Zhu Qing replied simply.
"Ah? Combat??"
Hearing this, everyone was bewildered.
Fighting could lead to advancement?
But how could one advance in such short a time?
"Yes, combat, endless combat, while also having to endure the instructor's Soul Pressure," Zhu Qing clarified.
"I get it now, it's advancement through pressure, with continuous fighting causing the Soul Power in the body to boil over, thereby breaking through the body's barriers to Soul Power," Ye Lingling suddenly voiced her realization upon Zhu Qing's explanation.
"Sst—"
As they all came from rather prestigious families, with Ye Lingling explaining to this extent, almost everyone understood the process.
A gasp escaped them.
Would the captain still be able to come today if he used this method for advancement?
Wouldn't he be so exhausted he'd be like a puddle of mud?
"Look, that's Instructor Feng and the others!"
Suddenly, at this moment, they saw two very familiar figures appearing.
"Instructor Feng, captain, you finally came back."
Seeing them, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
They had finally made it in time.
"What a relief, they finally made it."
Yu Tianheng looked extremely weary at this point.
Traveling up until now had been exhausting.
Especially after that stimulating training the previous night.
But luckily, the result was positive.
"The competition has just started, perfect timing," said Ye Feng with a smile.
They had arrived just in time.
There was nothing more suitable than this.
"Instructor, we're over here!"
Yufeng called out waving his hand towards Yu Tianheng and Ye Feng.
The others also waved at Yu Tianheng and Ye Feng respectively.
This seating area had been reserved in advance.
But none of them had truly been here before.
Now, their team was neither too big nor too small.
To avoid trouble,
they simply waved.
"Instructor, they're over there," Yu Tianheng said to Ye Feng, noticing his teammates waving at him.
"Alright, let's head over there," Ye Feng nodded in agreement.
Seeing Ye Feng and the others approaching, everyone waved and welcomed them with cheerful smiles.
Honestly, they felt a bit restless without Instructor Feng there.
His presence was like a stabilizing Sea God nail for the academy.
Everyone felt more settled with him there.
"Good day, Instructor!"
When Ye Feng reached the front of the team, he looked calmly at everyone and in an instant, with great coordination, everyone stood up to greet him.
And they even offered their greetings!
This was the result of Ye Feng's training.
They had become a team with discipline.
"Very good, everyone take a seat. Tian Heng, you rejoin the team as well."
Ye Feng asked everyone to sit down.
At the same time, he signaled Yu Tianheng to rejoin the team.
"Okay!"
Yu Tianheng directly entered the midst of the team.
"Leader, how did it go? Have you leveled up to 70?"
Next to him, Osslor inquired.
"Judging by the look of our leader, he must have done it, right? Instructor Feng is truly an eternal god!!"
Yufeng spoke out at this moment.
For some reason, Yufeng felt an immense admiration for Ye Feng right now.
He had never seen anyone so formidable before.
It was as if he wasn't a person, but a god!
An incredibly powerful god!
The kind who could accomplish anything.
"Leader, do tell us."
The Shimo brothers were also directing their questions at Yu Tianheng at this moment.
Everyone else wore a look of intense curiosity.
Eager to know if the leader had succeeded in advancing.
Waiting for his confirmation.
After all, they were only speculating here.
"Of course I succeeded, and I even obtained the seventh soul ring."
Yu Tianheng had nothing to hide from his teammates, and so he spoke frankly.
"What the heck?"
"What!!"
"He really got the seventh soul ring!!"
The whole Tiandou Royal Academy team looked at Yu Tianheng in shock upon hearing this news.
All this in just one night.
Moreover, Captain Yu Tianheng had just reached level 69 a couple of days ago.
That's just too exaggerated!!
"Don't get too excited too soon. The kind of training Instructor Feng employs is not something humans can bear! It's simply super insane!"
At this moment, Yu Tianheng vented his frustrations.
If he hadn't had his conviction, he probably would have given up long ago!
"I think I can do it!!"
"I believe I can handle it too, no matter how painful, bring it on!"
The rest of them said enviously, ready to endure the agony.
"Uh..."
Yu Tianheng rolled his eyes.
"Haha~"
The team laughed heartily.
Even though Yu Tianheng was their team leader, they were all about the same age, and it was common for them to speak their minds and joke around.
"Captain, you're injured, aren't you?"
That's when Ye Lingling spoke up.
"Injured?"
Everyone looked at Yu Tianheng in surprise.
They could tell something was indeed off.
"Yes, yes, I was just about to ask Lingling to have a look," Yu Tianheng replied.
It was a close call; he almost died in Sunset Forest.
"No problem."
Ye Lingling employed the Nine-heart Asiatic Apple.
Her eyes showed a hint of astonishment.
Yu Tianheng was covered in wounds.
What had he gone through yesterday?
"Pfft—"
A spray of fresh blood came out.
"All done."
Ye Lingling was dripping with sweat, looking utterly exhausted.
"Thank you, Lingling."
Yu Tianheng expressed his thanks.
"Don't mention it."
Ye Lingling replied.
"Take a stamina pill."
Ye Feng came over with a stamina pill at this point.
"Yes."
Ye Lingling didn't hesitate and swallowed it down.
"Captain, what exactly did you go through?"
The scene tugged at everyone's heartstrings.
"It's nothing. Anyway, we should all be thankful to Instructor Feng. If it weren't for Instructor Feng's guidance, I wouldn't have been this lucky to level up to 70 and afterwards obtain a soul ring to advance to level 71 Soul Sage. Everyone needs to put in their best effort this time. We must show the true spirit of the Dou Huang Battle Team and defeat all our opponents!"
At this moment, Yu Tianheng looked towards his team!
"Absolutely!"
Everyone's eyes were determined.
"Speaking of which, Instructor, which academy is going first in today's match?"
A few minutes passed and the complex opening ceremony began.
At this point, the curious Shimo addressed Ye Feng.
"Yeah, I'm also really curious about who will go first."
Yufeng also chimed in with questions.
"Originally, Blazing Fire Academy was slated for the first round today, but they've given up on the finals."
Ye Feng spoke.
"What? They've given up on the finals???"
Everyone showed disbelief upon hearing this.
Blazing Fire Academy had actually given up on the finals directly.
Weren't they training desperately to compete against the Dou Huang Battle Team for the championship? Why would they just give up!
"Huo Wu fought as if her life depended on it during the advancement matches, and with her character, it seemed unlikely that she would forfeit."
Yu Tianheng also felt puzzled.
Last time, Huo Wu came several times to harass their instructor.
And now they've given up.
How utterly bizarre.
"As of now, Blazing Fire Academy has indeed withdrawn from the finals, so the first match should be Shenfeng Academy versus Long Kui Academy."
Ye Feng stated.
As expected, after the complex opening ceremony was over.
The competition segment began.
"The match between Shenfeng Academy and Long Kui Academy is about to start. Let's welcome both participating teams to the stage with the warmest round of applause," the male host announced.
At this moment, everyone in the venue turned their attention to the center of the arena and the big screen.
Right then, everyone was stunned by the scene unfolding before them.
The girl in the red short skirt leading the way looked very familiar.
Huo Wu!!
