The Glory of the Sun and Moon in the Peerless Tang Sect

Dai Yueheng, Chen Zifeng, and Gongyang Mo looked at Xu Zihuang with a strange expression.

However, Xu Zihuang seemed quite calm. He pointed to Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, who were still unconscious and had been brought to the sofa in the waiting area by Wang Yan, and smiled gently at Dai Yueheng and the other two.

"Senior Dai, Senior Chen, Senior Gongyang, lend a hand. Let's take Senior Bei and Senior Xu back to the hotel first."

The three of them then realized what was happening and quickly responded.

Ma Xiaotao walked silently at the very back, her head down, seemingly lost in thought.

Wang Yan took the initiative to greet the crowd, glanced at Ma Xiaotao, and said nothing more. While Ma Xiaotao, as captain, had indeed failed in her duties somewhat in this match, he understood that she couldn't be entirely blamed.

Who would have thought that Princess Jiujiu possessed such a domain-type soul skill?

Wang Yan looked around at everyone and nodded slightly.

"Beibei and Sanshi are fine. Xingluo Royal Academy held back. You don't need to blame yourselves. I also need to take some responsibility for this match."

Upon hearing Wang Yan's words, Ma Xiaotao raised her head and met his gaze.

"No, it was my fault as captain that I failed to coordinate everyone in this match."

Wang Yan glanced at Ma Xiaotao unexpectedly, a hint of relief in his eyes.

"Let's not discuss this now. Let's go back to the hotel."

Xu Zihuang and Dai Yueheng were supporting Xu Sanshi. Originally, Chen Zifeng and Gongyang Mo should have been supporting Beibei, but He Caitou, who came from the rest area, replaced Gongyang Mo with a silly smile.

Ning Tian met Xu Zihuang's gaze with a gentle expression, then moved to Xu Zihuang's other side.

Jiang Nannan and Wang Dong followed behind the group.

The group marched in a grand procession toward the Star Emperor Hotel.

In an inconspicuous corner of Xingluo Square.

A middle-aged man with an exceptionally thick right arm excitedly transmitted his voice to the large-headed middle-aged man beside him using his soul power.

"Second Brother, this little guy has twin martial souls?!"

The one who spoke was Yu Tao, who had met Xu Zihuang before, and next to him was Lang Ya.

A strange light shone in Langya's exceptionally bright eyes.

"That should be right. Yu Tianhuang is a descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. It's likely that his second martial soul is the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. Our Body Sect has really found a treasure this time. Once we bring him back to the sect, the sect leader will definitely make him the next sect leader successor."

Chapter 190 The Semifinals Approaching

The round of 16 matches proceeded smoothly.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's competition is this afternoon.

Although this match wasn't as thrilling or exciting as the clash between Shrek Academy and Star Luo Royal Academy, Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy still demonstrated formidable overall strength.

Even without the captain of the main team, Ma Rulong, making a move, the other six main team members and one reserve team member had already defeated the enemy.

There were no dazzling clashes of soul skills, only a dense barrage of soul-guided rays covering the entire arena. They easily blasted their opponents off the field.

As Wang Yan said, this year's Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team is indeed the strongest in its history.

Apart from Ma Rulong, a Soul Emperor and a Level 6 Soul Master, the other six main team members and the siblings Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen are all Level 5 Soul Masters with a five-ring cultivation level.

However, since the start of the competition, Ma Rulong and the siblings Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen have not yet made their appearance to officially demonstrate their strength.

On Shrek Academy's side, Ma Xiaotao, because of the crisis she encountered in the battle against Star Luo Royal Academy this morning, had a rare moment of self-reflection.

Although she has a bad temper, she is not the kind of person who is unreasonable and cannot accept any advice.

Moreover, having been taken in as Yan Shaozhe's personal disciple since childhood, she harbors deep feelings for Shrek Academy. With the honor of Shrek Academy at stake, she dares not act selfishly any longer.

During dinner that evening, she approached Wang Yan and said that she would follow Wang Yan's instructions from now on.

With his magnanimous heart, Wang Yan naturally went along with the situation, allowing Ma Xiaotao to lead the individual elimination match against Xingluo Royal Academy the day after tomorrow.

After this little incident, the relationships among the Shrek Academy students became much more harmonious again.

Unfortunately, Ma Xiaotao did not get a chance to play in this individual elimination round.

Knowing that he was no match for Shrek Academy in the individual elimination rounds, Xu Jiujiu, representing Star Luo Royal Academy, withdrew from the remaining individual elimination rounds.

Shrek Academy thus became the first to advance to the quarterfinals.

In the four days leading up to the quarterfinals, Shrek Academy will not need to participate in any further matches.

Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi had only suffered minor injuries. After four days, they had both recovered to their best condition.

Taking advantage of the few days of leisure, Xu Zihuang spent most of his time cultivating.

Having possessed an ultimate martial soul, his cultivation speed noticeably slowed down after advancing to the Soul Master level. It was certainly impossible for him to achieve a substantial leap in cultivation within just four days.

He was more focused on comprehending the abilities granted to him by the Thunderous Hell Vine's right leg bone. The Thunderous Hell skill attached to the soul bone, with its terrifyingly wide attack range, goes without saying.

However, besides this, the soul bone also granted him another ability: the ability to actively guide heavenly lightning and alter celestial phenomena.

These are the things he's been exploring these past few days. After all, Princess Jiujiu had said that this soul bone also inherited the abilities of the Thunderous Hell Vine, and could evolve through the tempering of thunder-attribute soul power and lightning power.

The quarterfinals followed as scheduled.

This time, Lady Luck seems to be on Shrek Academy's side, drawing the weakest team among the top eight.

It was Zhengtian Academy, which had previously suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Shrek Academy.

The result was predictable. Back when only Chen Zifeng and Gongyang Mo, two inner court disciples, were fighting, Shrek Academy almost completely crushed them head-on. Now, with the addition of Dai Yueheng and Ma Xiaotao, two Soul Emperors, they have the advantage.

Zhengtian Academy suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Shrek Academy without any suspense. Shrek Academy thus easily advanced to the final four.

This year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament is nearing its end. And the end often means the climax is coming.

Countless viewers eagerly anticipate the clash between Shrek Academy, the top school on the continent, and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Of course, none of the teams that make it to the final four are weak.

The other two academies that advanced were the Imperial Academy of the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Douling Royal Academy of the Douling Empire.

Both are the premier academies within the Heavenly Soul and Battle Spirit Empires.

In the spacious and luxurious room, Xu Zihuang sat cross-legged on the soft sofa as usual, meditating with his eyes closed.

The brilliant golden light of his soul power suddenly receded, and he opened his eyes.

A glint of purple-gold light swept across his eyes, and he glanced sideways toward the door as if sensing something.

As if responding to his gaze, Ning Tian, ​​dressed in a white dress, quietly opened the door and entered. Her platinum blonde hair accentuated her fair and delicate skin, and even the dim lighting in the room could not conceal her natural beauty.

Ning Tian's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul and Xu Jiujiu's Star Crown martial soul can both be broadly categorized as gemstone-type martial souls. Influenced by their martial souls, their temperaments are quite similar.

They all possess that dignified and elegant grandeur.

In terms of status and position on the mainland, Ning Tian, ​​the sole heir to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, may not be much inferior to Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Star Luo Sect.

Ning Tian looked at Xu Zihuang in surprise as he got up from the sofa.

She knew that Yu Tianhuang had been immersed in cultivation and comprehending the power of the Thunderous Hell Vine's right leg bone.

Based on Yu Tianhuang's usual habits, it should take him some time to finish his cultivation. Once he finishes, the two of them will go to the restaurant at the end of the corridor for a meal.

"Tianhuang, how is it?"

"Next, we just need to verify it in practice. What Princess Jiujiu said should be correct. This soul bone can indeed be evolved by tempering with the power of thunder." Xu Zihuang approached Ning Tian with a gentle smile and nodded slightly.

Although Ning Tian was much taller than his peers, he was still almost half a head shorter than Xu Zihuang.

However, this height difference makes them a perfect match.

Xu Zihuang took Ning Tian's hand with perfect ease. Since the two of them officially broke down their barriers, their interactions had become much closer than before.

Ning Tian slightly raised her head, gazing up at Xu Zihuang, her lustrous blue eyes sparkling. After nearly ten days together, she had grown accustomed to this level of intimacy.

However, the atmosphere in the dimly lit room had become somewhat ambiguous.

Seeing the change in Ning Tian's emotions, Xu Zihuang smiled slightly and opened the door.

"Let's go eat first."

This level of intimacy is just right. It shows enough intimacy without making Ning Tian feel awkward or embarrassed.

He might want to try something more intimate, and Ning Tian wouldn't refuse. But there's no need. Some things are better done gradually, and it's important to find the right balance.

Ning Tian is currently the top choice to obtain the Acacia Heartbreak Red.

What best serves his current interests is to get Ning Tian completely entangled in it.

"Mmm," Ning Tian responded with a slight smile. The soft light from the crystal chandelier on the hallway ceiling soothed her.

Although a few blushes remained on her pretty face, at least at first glance, she didn't look anything amiss.

Holding Xu Zihuang's hand, Ning Tian's eyes flickered slightly.

Because the semi-finals of this Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament will be held tomorrow, Wang Yan is currently discussing tactics with everyone in the restaurant.

She came to Yu Tianhuang's room today because Wang Yan had sent her to call Yu Tianhuang over.

However, she has now decided not to bring it up. The outcome will be the same anyway. If she explains the situation to Yu Tianhuang, he might not act so intimately in this serious tactical discussion.

Although her relationship with Yu Tianhuang became clear after that top-tier auction, it was far less effective than the two of them appearing hand in hand in front of everyone like this.

Actually, she didn't want to resort to such underhanded tactics. But Ma Xiaotao posed too great a threat to her.

Rather than saying he wanted to do it for everyone to see, it was more accurate to say he specifically wanted Ma Xiaotao to see it.

Chapter 191 Pre-War Meeting

As night falls and the city lights begin to twinkle.

Through the crystal wall of the restaurant at the end of the corridor, you can clearly see the night view of Xingluo City adorned with lights.

Xu Zihuang led Ning Tian toward the restaurant, and from a distance, they could hear the conversations of Wang Yan, Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, and others.

The semi-finals will be held tomorrow, and logically, when the group discusses tactics, they should definitely invite him, the main control Soul Master.

Xu Zihuang's mind stirred slightly, and recalling Ning Tian's previous performance, a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

It seems that Ning Tian deliberately didn't bring up this matter.

If he were to walk hand in hand with her now, letting go halfway would seem somewhat deliberate. Ning Tian was precisely exploiting this very psychology within him.

Thinking of this, a smile couldn't help but flicker deep in Xu Zihuang's eyes.
