Chapter 395 A Miraculous Treasure Reaching the Heavens, Tiger Breaks the Dragon (Part 2)

The master nodded to Tang San, "In that case, let's settle this with a single battle. The final outcome of tomorrow's battle will ultimately be decided by the two of you."

Seeing that every one of his companions was nodding at him, Tang San looked at Feng Xiaotian again.

"Alright, I accept your challenge." In that instant, Tang San's gaze suddenly sharpened. His inner aura erupted like a volcano, slamming into Feng Xiaotian.

Feng Xiaotianxia subconsciously took a step back, but quickly stepped forward again, and the two of them clashed violently.

"If you lose, I don't want to see you around Huo Wu anymore," Feng Xiaotian said through gritted teeth.

Tang San said coldly, "She is her, and I am me. I have no relation to her whatsoever." After saying this, he picked up Xiao Wu and left with the Shrek Academy group without looking back.

The smell of gunpowder naturally attracted the attention of others, including those from the Blazing Fire Academy.

Huo Wushuang looked at her somewhat dazed younger sister beside her, "Is this what you wanted to see?"

Huo Wu shook her head blankly, "I don't know."

Huo Wu asked meaningfully, "Then who do you hope will win this match?"

Huo Wu blinked, and she suddenly realized that she didn't seem to be so eager to defeat Tang San anymore.

Back at camp, everyone gathered around Dai Mubai. After a careful examination, Grandmaster and Flander discovered that Dai Mubai's injuries weren't as serious as they had imagined. Most were just superficial wounds. His bones and muscles were perfectly normal; they would heal naturally after a few days of rest. Soul Masters possessed far greater self-healing abilities than ordinary people.

The news from Thunder Academy, however, was quite the opposite. Yu Tianxin had suffered a severe injury, and it was questionable whether she could even participate in the finals, let alone recover. Lei Dong had his arm crippled by Dai Mubai, and he wouldn't be able to recover without several months of recuperation.

Dai Mubai and Yu Tianxin were indeed evenly matched, especially after expending some soul power, making them evenly matched. Only Dai Mubai himself knew that his victory in this match was due to the wondrous Tongtian Chrysanthemum. Its indestructible nature not only protected him from much of the lightning's damage but also safeguarded his bones and meridians. Meanwhile, his opponent's Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul, which should have had a stronger defense, turned from an advantage into a disadvantage.

However, he did not show any gratitude towards Tang San. The bond between brothers does not need to be expressed in words.

To allow Dai Mubai to properly recover from his injuries, just like when Tang San was injured, a room was specially prepared for him. Although no one said anything, Zhu Zhuqing naturally stayed.

"What would you like to eat? I'll get it for you." Looking at Dai Mubai, who was covered in bandages, Zhu Zhuqing's cold expression had vanished, and her gentle gaze made her big eyes look even more beautiful.

"I'm not hungry. Zhuqing, come here."

Zhu Zhuqing walked to Dai Mubai's bedside, pulled up a chair, and sat down.

Dai Mubai took Zhu Zhuqing's hand. "Have you always hated me?"

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at him. "Why would I hate you?"

Dai Mubai smiled wryly, "Because of my bad deeds. If these things hadn't been reported back, why would you have come to me? To be honest, I didn't expect your father to be willing to let you come to the Heaven Dou Empire."

Zhu Zhuqing said calmly, "Do you really think I came to you because of your romantic escapades, and that's why I'm treating you coldly?"

Dai Mubai was taken aback. "Isn't that right?"

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head. "No. It's not wrong for a man to be a womanizer, as long as he's not vulgar, it's not a big problem. But you're different, you're not an ordinary person. You should understand how cruel your future is. I don't want my man to be obsessed with women and die one day. My mother told me that if you can't marry a real man, it's better to never marry."

Dai Mubai's wicked eyes flickered. "You came here to urge me to cultivate?"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Dai Mubai, a hint of coldness in her eyes. "If you cannot meet my expectations, not only will I not marry you, but I will also kill you. And then I will commit suicide."

Dai Mubai gave a wry smile. "You really are his daughter. This is your family's consistent style."

Zhu Zhuqing said calmly, "Is there anything wrong with that? If you were afraid of these things, your father wouldn't have made me your fiancée. From the day I became your fiancée, your fate was already changed. You were destined not to be a carefree ordinary person. Our marriage is not just about the two of us, it also concerns my family and..."

At this point, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly stopped talking, not because she didn't want to continue, but because Dai Mubai had pulled her into his arms tightly.

He kissed Zhu Zhuqing's lips.

Zhu Zhuqing appeared calm, but her trembling body in his arms betrayed his true feelings.

After a long while, their lips parted. Dai Mubai released Zhu Zhuqing, and two blushes rose on the latter's pretty face. "I really wonder if you're only fourteen years old."

Zhu Zhuqing bit her lower lip lightly. "You should say that none of us look like teenagers. Apart from Ma Hongjun, who was taken in by the dean, and Oscar, who comes from an ordinary background, which of the other five of us doesn't have a story behind us? I can't see through Tang San, and I can't see through Xiao Wu either. Even Rongrong isn't as innocent as she seems on the surface."

Dai Mubai frowned slightly. "Why bring this up? No matter what they have behind the scenes, just remember that we will always be partners, and that's enough."

Zhu Zhuqing did not refute, but nodded silently. Having gone through life and death together several times and fought against powerful enemies, the Shrek Seven Devils, although each had their own secrets, did not affect their feelings for each other.

Ignoring the wound that had reopened from his forceful embrace of Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai pulled her into his arms again with domineering force. "Tell me, are you willing to be my wife now?"

Zhu Zhuqing paused for a moment, looked up at Dai Mubai's aggressive gaze, and silently nodded.

Dai Mubai suddenly laughed. "I remember you just said that it's not wrong for a man to be a womanizer, as long as he's not vulgar. Right? You're only fourteen, so I can't make a move on you. I've been holding back for a long time."

Zhu Zhuqing's gaze suddenly turned sharp. She grabbed the scissors used for cutting bandages and gestured a few times towards Dai Mubai's lower body. "Try it. I could overlook what you did before I acknowledged you as my fiancé, but now you're my man, and you can only be mine. If I find out you're out doing bad things or can't control that thing down there, I'll help you get rid of it."

"Uh..." Dai Mubai's mischievous smile froze. Looking at Zhu Zhuqing, he really didn't know whether to love or hate the girl in his arms.

The thirteenth round of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is about to begin. For most participating academies, their rankings in the qualifying rounds are already set, and they've started to hold back in the final few matches to ensure their team members don't get injured, in order to prepare for the finals. However, two academies remain in a tense standoff: Shrek Academy and Shenfeng Academy, both holding twelve-game winning streaks.

Each academy will compete in fourteen rounds. Shrek Academy and Shenfeng Academy face relatively weak opponents in the final round, making victory almost guaranteed. Therefore, today's match will determine which academy will ultimately rank first in the Heaven Dou Empire's qualifying rounds. A clash between two undefeated teams.

The match had already become a battle between the two of them since Feng Xiaotian challenged Tang San yesterday.

The first six matches of the day have all concluded, and the Shrek Academy vs. the Divine Wind Academy match, the main event, was scheduled for last.

The members of the Shenfeng Academy stood in a row, and Feng Xiaotian stood in front of them.

"Brothers, do you trust me?" Feng Xiaotian asked in a deep voice.

These team members who were able to participate in the competition were all elites about to graduate from Shenfeng Academy, and they had been with Feng Xiaotian for quite some time. But this was the first time they had ever seen him show such an expression.

The teammate on the far left said without hesitation, "Captain, go! Win or lose, we'll support you. If you can't defeat Tang San, then we can't win this qualifying match. You're our captain, and you're our core player. I support you."

The others nodded in agreement.

Feng Xiaotian sighed, "What Tang San said yesterday really touched me. Before, I always thought of this team as just my own. But I was wrong. The team belongs to each and every one of us. Brothers, thank you for your support. No matter what, I will do my best in this match."

"Captain, we will support you regardless of victory or defeat."

When Tang San and Feng Xiaotian entered the arena from different directions, the spectators from various academies were in an uproar. They clearly hadn't expected that Shrek Academy and Shenfeng Academy would field their strongest players in the very first match.

Feng Xiaotian, captain of the Shenfeng Academy team, is a level 44 Power Attack type Battle Soul Master with the Martial Soul, Gale Twin-Headed Wolf.

Tang San, vice captain of the Shrek Academy team, is a level 42 control-type Soul Master with the Blue Silver Grass as his Martial Soul.
