It seems I should write a letter to His Holiness the Pope!
Salas thought so.
At this moment, Emperor Xueye spoke again: "Soul Masters who did not advance should not be discouraged. Go back and cultivate hard. You will have another chance in the next Soul Master Competition."
Two weeks later, the Soul Master Tournament's qualifying rounds officially begin!
clap clap clap!
Amid thunderous applause, the preliminary rounds came to a perfect end, and Ling Yun and the others returned to their hotel. They could now rest well for the next two weeks.
Shui Bing'er originally planned to take advantage of this time to go to the Frozen Forest to obtain her fifth soul ring, but unfortunately, Tian Dou City was too far from the Frozen Forest, and the journey alone would take more than half a month.
Therefore, Shui Bing'er had no choice but to give up and spend her time eating, drinking, and having fun with Ling Yun in Tian Dou City, while adjusting her condition and preparing for the next match.
And so, half a month later, the fifteen teams that had advanced gathered at the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena, and the Soul Master Tournament qualifying rounds officially began!
Just like in the qualifiers, Salas walked up to the host, drew two wooden plaques, and handed them to the host.
The host then announced, "The first match of the first round of the qualifying tournament: Blazing Academy versus Thunder Academy!"
"Round 1, Match 2 of the Qualifying Tournament: Elephant Academy vs. Shrek Academy!"
"Round 1, Match 3 of the Qualifying Tournament: Plant Academy vs. Barak Kingdom Academy!"
"Round 1, Match 4 of the Qualifying Tournament: Tianshui Academy vs..."
Hearing the host's voice, Ling Yun exclaimed in surprise, "Is the first match Thunder Academy?"
As he spoke, Ling Yun glanced thoughtfully at Salas. Apart from their Blazing Fire Academy, the strongest academy here was Thunder Academy. To encounter the strongest opponent right from the start, it was hard to say that Salas hadn't deliberately arranged it.
"What's there to be afraid of about Thunder Academy?"
Huo Wu smiled sweetly and said, "Our Blazing Fire Academy has plenty of soldiers and generals now, are we afraid of Thunder Academy? Brother Ling Yun, you don't need to play in this match, just leave it to us."
"Hehe, you're right. Then I'll watch your game from the stands."
Ling Yun smiled, then looked at Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, encouraging them, "Sister Bing'er, Sister Yue'er, keep it up!"
"Yes, I will. I'm going to surpass you. If I can't even beat someone from Thunder Academy, how will I ever surpass you!"
"Hehe, thank you for the encouragement, little brother Lingyun."
The two women spoke in unison, and Huo Wu, seeing this, couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth and grin mischievously.
"It's true what they say, boys grow up and leave home; all he does is cheer for Bing'er and Yue'er, but he doesn't even cheer for me."
Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er both blushed, while Ling Yun laughed and said, "Alright, alright, let's all cheer each other on."
After the host read out the opponents of each college, the first qualifying round officially began.
On the Blazing Fire Academy's side, the first to appear was none other than Shui Yue'er. Among all the Blazing Fire Academy students, her cultivation level was the weakest, at only level forty-three.
The main reason for letting her go first was to test the overall strength of Thunder Academy, and also to enhance Shui Yue'er's practical combat ability.
After Shui Yue'er stood on the arena, a tall Soul Master from Thunder Academy also stepped forward.
Seeing that both teams were in position, the host announced the start of the competition.
Boom!
After the host announced the start of the competition, a thunderous sound suddenly rang out, and the Soul Masters of Thunder Academy immediately released their Martial Souls.
His martial soul was a harpoon, which looked like a trident. The tip of the harpoon was flashing with eerie lightning, and three soul rings, two yellow and one purple, floated slowly beneath his feet.
"Lu Chen, Martial Soul Thunder Fork, Level 37 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master, please give me your guidance!"
"Shui Yue'er, Martial Soul: Jade Dolphin, Level 43 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master, please give me your guidance!"
As they spoke, Shui Yue'er also released her martial spirit, and the level 43 soul pressure soared into the sky, and the battle between the two was about to break out.
Chapter 72 Battle Against Thunder Academy
"Let's get started!"
Having said that, Shuiyue took a step forward and charged towards her opponent, taking the initiative to strike first.
However, seeing her rush up to him, Lu Chen's lips curled up into a smug smile.
"Little sister, you're doomed. Second Soul Skill: Lightning Thrust!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his second soul ring suddenly flashed, and Lu Chen rushed out at an extremely fast speed, raising his thunder fork and using the force of his charge to forcefully stab Shui Yue'er in the abdomen.
Seeing this, Ling Yun and Shui Bing'er below the arena felt a pang of anxiety. If Shui Yue'er were to be pierced by that thunder fork, she would be seriously injured even if she didn't die.
However, Shui Yue'er couldn't help but laugh when she saw this, and she also gathered her soul power and used her soul skill.
"First Soul Skill: Freeze!"
clack clack...
A sickening freezing sound rang out, and then Lu Chen's legs were instantly frozen, the ice spreading upwards little by little, as if to freeze his entire body into an ice sculpture.
This move is somewhat similar to Shui Bing'er's Ice Seal Soul Skill. The difference is that Shui Bing'er's Ice Seal is a group control skill, while her Freeze is only a single-target control skill, and its power is much weaker.
After his legs were frozen, Lu Chen instantly lost his ability to move. At the same time, Shui Yue'er leaped high and used a spiral flying kick to kick him out of the arena, eliminating him directly. She then landed gracefully and laughed.
"I'm a Soul Master, who gave you the guts to call me 'little sister'? Next!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the second contestant from Thunder Academy stepped onto the stage, immediately releasing his martial spirit and announcing his level.
"Lei Jiuzhong, Martial Soul: Thunder Umbrella, Level 38 Control-type Battle Soul Master, please enlighten me."
"Alright, let's get started!"
Shui Yue'er was full of fighting spirit, but Lei Jiuzhong was not to be outdone.
"As you wish, first soul skill: Lightning Strike!"
In the blink of an eye, after his soul ring lit up, Lei Jiuzhong suddenly opened the Thunder Umbrella and shot out a bolt of lightning from the top of the umbrella. It could not only be used to attack, but also to paralyze the enemy.
Unfortunately, Shuiyue'er was no pushover either. After the lightning flashed at the top of the lightning umbrella, she immediately dodged to the side.
Tianshui Academy and Thunder Academy have been fighting for so many years that they are very familiar with each other's methods.
If Tianshui Academy controls its opponents by freezing them, then Thunder Academy controls them by paralyzing them with lightning.
After easily dodging Lei Jiuzhong's first wave of attacks, Shui Yue'er muttered to herself, "The opponent is a control-type Soul Master, who is naturally countered by me, a power-attack-type Soul Master. It seems I have to finish this quickly."
Thinking of this, Shui Yue'er immediately circulated her soul power and injected it into her third soul ring. Then she opened her mouth wide and spat out a deadly gust of cold wind at Lei Jiuzhong.
"Third Soul Skill: Extreme Cold Tornado!"
A horizontal whirlwind howled in, threatening to freeze Lei Jiuzhong into an ice sculpture, but feeling the cold wind blowing against his face, Lei Jiuzhong just sneered.
"Good timing! Third Soul Skill: Lightning Defense!"
After saying that, Lei Jiuzhong opened his Thunder Umbrella. The large Thunder Umbrella was like a hard shield, blocking the oncoming extreme cold tornado.
Although the chilling air spreading outwards made him very cold, he was ultimately not blasted off the stage by the whirlwind.
"what?!"
Upon seeing this, Shui Yue'er's face immediately showed a surprised expression.
"I didn't expect him to have this trick up his sleeve, but it's alright, watch my fourth soul skill: Frost Possession!"
Shuiyue'er continued to unleash the extreme cold tornado, but this time, the whirlwind was even more violent, and the cold air was even more frigid.
With the enhancement of her fourth soul skill, Shui Yue'er's ice power instantly doubled. Faced with the even more biting cold wind, Lei Jiuzhong finally couldn't hold on and was blown off the stage, completely eliminated.
In the next ten minutes, Shui Yue'er used her fourth soul skill to eliminate two more opponents, one of whom was even a Soul Master.
She wanted to continue fighting, but because her soul power was exhausted, she had to jump off the stage and end the match.
Back at Blazing Fire Academy, Shui Yue'er excitedly laughed, "How about that? I'm amazing, right? I defeated four opponents at once!"
"Sister Yue'er, well done!"
Ling Yun chuckled and patted Shui Yue'er's head. Shui Yue'er not only didn't object, but instead showed an expression of enjoyment.
At this point, Ling Yun continued, "So, who will go on stage next?"
"Let me do it."
Feng Xiaotian was the first to speak; he couldn't wait to show his strength to Huo Wu.
"Fire Dance, you can rest on the side. I can handle the remaining three opponents by myself, hahaha!"
Before he could finish speaking, with Huo Wu speechless, Feng Xiaotian had already transformed into a gust of wind and rushed onto the arena, releasing his martial spirit.
"Feng Xiaotian, Martial Soul: Gale Twin-Headed Wolf, Level 49 Agility-Attack Type Battle Soul Master, please give me your guidance."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill in their hearts. Blazing Fire Academy was truly a place where hidden talents resided. Not only did it have Ling Yun, a Soul King, but Feng Xiaotian was also a formidable opponent.
With a soul power level of forty-nine, apart from Shui Bing'er and Ling Yun, no one can compare to him.
"Lei Tian, Martial Soul: Thunder Eagle, Level 42 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master, please enlighten me."
"Third Soul Skill: Thunder Wings!"
After announcing his level, Lei Tian immediately used his soul skill to soar into the sky, then looked at Feng Xiaotian standing on the ground and chuckled.
"Although your cultivation level is much higher than mine, you can't fly. In the end, you're just a stray dog running around on the ground!"
"Heh, is that so? Then open your dog eyes wide and see clearly, third soul skill: Gale Wings!"
Before he finished speaking, as Feng Xiaotian unleashed his soul skill, a pair of azure storm wings also sprouted from his back. He then took to the air and flew towards Lei Tian on the wind.
His speed was several times that of Lei Tian. In just an instant, Feng Xiaotian arrived in front of Lei Tian, then gathered his soul power and punched him in the face.
"Don't think you're the only one who can fly. I am the eagle soaring freely in the sky, while you are nothing more than a fly that can fly!"
After he finished speaking, Feng Xiaotian's punch landed heavily on Lei Tian's face like a cannonball, throwing him off the stage and eliminating him completely.
With a single punch, Feng Xiaotian eliminated a Soul Master, shocking everyone with his formidable strength.
After defeating Lei Tian, the next to take the stage was Lei Dong, the vice-captain of Thunder Academy, whose martial soul was the Thunder Spider and who was a level 43 Soul Master.
His martial spirit and soul skills are very troublesome, but unfortunately he encountered Feng Xiaotian. Feng Xiaotian flew in the sky, and Lei Dong's soul skills could not hurt him at all, while he could use his first soul skill to unleash wind blades to attack Lei Dong.
In the end, after enduring dozens of wind blades in succession, Lei Dong was completely defeated.
Thunder Academy now only has one person left, and that is their captain, Yu Tianxin, one of the Blue Lightning Twins.
"Feng Xiaotian, you are indeed a worthy opponent. If you were at your peak, I certainly wouldn't be your match. But now, you've already expended a lot of your soul power, haven't you? You're completely exhausted now, and you can't possibly be my opponent!"
