Private room number 78.

Xuan Qingya, dressed in a green robe, lazily rested her chin on her hand and smiled, "Fifth Sister, your Wenxiu is quite remarkable! That arrow just now, with the five elements rotating and the wind pressure complementing each other, was timed perfectly, and she managed to break through the Ice Phoenix. The Seven Absolute Bow in her hands truly has a touch of 'absolute'."

Yang Jingxue sat upright, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Indeed. Wenxiu is a child with excellent talent and temperament."

Yang Wenxiu is the granddaughter of her cousin Yang Zhijia. She is also a promising talent with a high level of innate ability. In this generation of the Yang family, there is an imbalance of female and male, with two women and one man among the three Heavenly Gang level positions.

She paused, raised an eyebrow, and suddenly changed the subject: "But what you want to ask about is that 'Great Five Elements Wheel,' right?"

Xuan Qingya lightly tapped the air with her fingertips, simulating the trajectory of Yang Wenxiu's light wheel. "This is not the old version of the 'Five Elements Wheel.' The energy density has doubled, and the five elements flow seamlessly as one... The Wheel Revolving Technique has probably reached a higher level?"

Yang Jingxue glanced at her: "Things that are hundreds of years old always need to be polished up."

Han Yiyu's cold gaze swept over them, and she interjected, "The Yang family's new stuff? Congratulations then. You've also obtained the Chen family's secret technique that can enhance combat power without soul power fluctuations, haven't you? These past few years, your backsides have become increasingly slippery, all crowding together."

Yang Jingxue chuckled, the cloud patterns on her gorgeous dress seeming to come alive: "So what if they are? Who told them to be so curvy and bouncy? Hehe, following the Chen family and my eldest sister, how could I not get some treats?"

She glanced at Han Yiyu and teased, "What, are you all craving something? Why don't you join in? Big sister is the most 'caring' of us."

Han Yiyu rolled her eyes dramatically, turned to look at the Soul Arena, and said only, "...The female hooligan's candy is hard to chew."

Chang'an Team Box
Zhu Wuneng leaned back in his soft chair and grinned, "Oh ho, Sister Shu Yao and the others won. Those two girls from Tianshui Academy were pretty good at using the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul Fusion Technique, but unfortunately, Yang Wenxiu broke it with a single arrow."

Ma Liang leaned against the window, nodded slightly, and said, "This is their strongest opponent. The Ice Phoenix is ​​really hard to defeat. Fortunately, Yuzuru Hanyu was injured twice before and can't play today. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so easy for the Five Mountains to win."

Dugu Fu was sipping a cup of tea when he put it down, a mocking smile playing on his lips: "I remember, when you two were playing against Tianshui Academy, you took down the second Ice Phoenix copied by Yuzuru Hanyu, right? You beat it half to death, and then Young Master finished it off in one move. That was a close call."

Ma Liang gave a wry smile and recalled, "Yes, that's why it was so difficult. That kid Yu Sheng's soul skills are incredibly strange. If it weren't for Sixth Brother and Sister Xiao Yi, we probably would have been defeated too."

Zhu Wuneng slapped his thigh suddenly, raising his voice a few decibels: "Speaking of Five Mountains Academy, their luck this year is strangely good!"

"Putting aside today's good luck, we also eliminated Tianshui College, one of our main rivals for a qualifying spot. Back in the provincial preliminary rounds, they were right behind us, crushing many strong teams. And in this national semi-final, they also picked up a lot of easy wins."

"When our Chen Manor was attacked, none of them were seriously injured; in subsequent matches, just like today, their opponents rarely faced them at their peak. Tsk tsk, their luck is simply divine intervention!"

Dugu Fu frowned slightly, put down his teacup, and said in a calm tone, "Don't make it sound so mysterious. This is their strategic choice—to abandon some top teams and launch a strong attack on other strong teams."

"The Five Mountains Academy has a variety of tactics, with seven Soul Kings as the main force, covering control, support, ranged attacks, and defense, with almost no weaknesses."

"Especially with the powerful combination of Sister Shu Yao and Ye Fei, both masters of mental illusions, even we might not have the upper hand in this area. Luck? It's nothing more than a combination of strength and scheming." Zhu Wuneng, however, was unconvinced and muttered, "I always feel that the Five Mountains are protected by the heavens, perhaps even tainted by the fortune of our Chen family. Young Master, don't you think so?"

"Uh..." Chen Xiaojun was a little stunned. Zhu Wuneng's words made his heart skip a beat.

The private room was brightly lit, illuminating his handsome profile. His gaze, which had been fixed on the Soul Arena, became slightly unfocused, and his fingers unconsciously rubbed the rim of his teacup.

The luck of Wushan Academy is indeed somewhat fantastical.

Moreover, the Five Mountains Academy is a 'seedland,' which may be related to the deity Shao Siming...

Chen Xiaojun snapped out of his daze, coughed lightly, and drank the remaining tea in his cup in one gulp.

The tea was warm and soothing, but it couldn't suppress the flutter in my heart. "Perhaps,"

His voice was low and thoughtful, “Luck is like the wind, unpredictable. But in the Five Mountains Path, strength ultimately speaks for itself.”

As soon as Chen Xiaojun finished speaking, Dugu Fu chuckled and chimed in, "Young Master's words are truly watertight. However, Yue Si Academy's class also performed very well this year, showing fierce strength in the second half of the competition and defeating strong opponents one after another."

"Judging from their momentum, they have a good chance of securing the last qualifying spot. If they do, our Tiandou region will be incredibly impressive—one region taking all three quarter-final spots is an unprecedented feat in centuries!"

Zhu Wuneng was gnawing on a fruit when he swallowed it down. A smug look appeared on his chubby face. "That's all thanks to us! After Wujian Academy was defeated by Sister Yi in a one-versus-seven battle, their main players suffered heavy losses. It's not like they'll recover in just a few days! They also lost to Yuehua and Tiandou, causing their grades to plummet. They're practically squandering their spots."

He gestured as he spoke, and his spittle almost landed on He Qiang next to him.

He Qiang crossed his arms and calmly added, "Actually, Tian Dou Academy is also in dire straits. The main force of the Three Heroes of Tian Dou were seriously injured in the battle with Xiao Yi. Their soul power was overdrawn and their meridians were damaged, so they can't participate. Fortunately, the Wujian Team is in the same predicament as them, otherwise Tian Dou wouldn't even be able to keep its top four position."

Chen Mu sneered, his fingertips flashing with soul power as he traced a path in the air: "They have a strong foundation; they managed to withstand the covetousness of other teams with their substitute roster. However—"

He then changed the subject sarcastically, "They never expected that their manipulation of our Chang'an team's schedule would become their own stumbling block. They scheduled our matches so tightly, ha! As a result, we were completely crushed by Xiaoyi, and our main player was seriously injured. How could they possibly recover fully in five days? They shot themselves in the foot!"

Chu Youwei took an elegant sip of tea, her emerald eyes sweeping over the match chart hanging in the private room: "Now the key is the final battle between Tiandou and Yuehua. If Tiandou loses, Yuehua Academy will win all their matches and take the championship; but if Tiandou wins..."

She paused for a moment, "Our three families, Chang'an, Yuehua, and Tiandou, have all lost one match. In terms of head-to-head results, we beat Tiandou, Tiandou beat Yuehua, and Yuehua beat us—the three families cycle through each other, and there is no clear winner. According to the tournament rules, we need to hold an additional tournament, a single-elimination round-robin battle to determine the top three rankings."

Chen Mu looked up, a roguish smile on his face: "Although we have an advantage in the one-on-one playoffs, I don't think Tian Dou can get past Yue Hua."

"With my eldest sister Yanwu backing her up, Yuehua is definitely holding back some trump cards. Tiandou Academy? They've already used up all their trump cards, and their main force is all out in the open. How can they possibly compete?"

The private room fell silent for a moment, with only faint cheers coming from the direction of the Soul Fighting Arena.

Everyone's thoughts were drawn back to the competition, and Chen Xiaojun seemed to be deep in thought.
