The whole audience cheered, while the other academies' representatives were surprised and speechless looking at him.
"Such power and speed without releasing the martial spirit—this boy is definitely a spirit king, and his physique is very strong; he must have a power-type martial spirit."
The Sun Moon Academy teacher analyzed and commented while looking at Xiao Yi on the stage.
"Don't worry, just raw power is of no use in this world," Xiao Hongchen replied with a smile while adjusting his hat. Meng Hongchen shook her head while looking at Xiao Yi.
Yunluo, the team captain, clenched his fists, scolded the Yingjun, and then glanced at the female in his team. She was wearing the same white military-type uniform of Yunluo School on her explosive body.
"Shang Yue, go for it,"
Shang Yue nodded and then stood up, adjusted her hat, and jumped toward the stage, summoning two long blades in both hands. They are melee soul guidance tools.
Xiao Yi glanced at the blades intriguingly and then observed their core structure and copied them, also directly storing them in the storage ring on his finger.
"What are you staring at?" she asked with a frown, looking at Xiao Yi staring at her, and then moved forward swiftly.
Xiao Yi dodged both of her blade attacks narrowly and then grabbed her arm and kicked her away, surprising everyone, including the Yunluo team.
"Impossible, he is keeping up with Sheng Yue without using his martial spirit,"
The Yunluo team commented, looking at the stage in shock; even their captain's pupil shrank seeing Xiao Yi easily dodging and deflecting away the Sheng Yue attack.
"You,"
Sheng Yue glared at Xiao Yi angrily, noticing the footprint mark on her uniform.
"Sorry,"
Xiao Yi apologized with a calm expression, and then an afterimage flashed, and he appeared in front of her, kicking her away once again in the same place and directly throwing her outside the stage.
The captain glanced at the Sheng Yue and then turned and walked forward toward the stage with a cold expression. "Next, it's my turn,"
He jumped and landed on the stage in front of Xiao Yi. "I am Situ Yu, the captain of the Yunluo team."
Xiao Yi glanced at him calmly and replied, "I already introduced myself."
"I know you didn't use your real capabilities in previous matches; as a captain, I want a fair match with you."
Situ Yu spoke, looking at him condescendingly, then he raised his arm and released his soul armor, a huge armor condensed above his body with six cannons aiming at Xiao Yi and a long sword array behind for a shield, like a fortress.
Xiao Yi smiled and observed the whole mechanism of the soul guidance armor and copied and stored it inside his storage space.
The next moment he released his martial spirit and spirit rings; instantly three spirit rings appeared hovering around him in the standard configuration of yellow, yellow, and purple.
Instantly the first spirit ring lit up, and Xiao Yi ran toward Situ Yu, dodging his spirit cannon barrage.
Situ Yu's face changed seeing not even a single attack is touching the Xiao Yi body, and he is dodging them all.
He hurriedly shot the main laser attack. Xiao Yi smiled; the third soul ring lit up.
Heart clone!!!
Instantly Xiao Yi's figure flickered and divided into three, appearing in front of Situ Yu, while his two clones stopped on both sides of him.
All three of them grabbed the six cannons and broke them apart and knocked Situ Yu down from the stage using a kick and fist combination.
Xiao Yi glanced at the Situ Yu lying below the stage and retracted his martial spirit, and both clones beside him disappeared.
"I am convinced,"
Situ Yu sighed, stood up, patting his painful chest while looking at Xiao Yi on the stage, and then added, "Yunluo School gives up on the rest of the matches."
The referee was startled and then hurriedly announced, "Yunluo School quit; the Shrek School won the first round robin round, and Xiao Yi received all the remaining four points."
Instantly the audience cheered and started calling Xiao Yi's name. Xiao Yi glanced at the seven points displayed on the screen, shook his head, turned around, walkedy, and returned to his team.
"Very good, we won the first round robin competition easily. Next, you all go back to the hotel room and cultivate."
Teacher Zhou Yi spoke, looking at all of them, while other members patted Xiao Yi's shoulder in appreciation.
"Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, you both stay cautious lest anyone notice the strangeness of our team; now we don't have any main Shrek Seven members."
Teacher Zhou Yi reminded Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong; both of them nodded understandingly in return, and then all of them returned to their hotel room.
"Tomorrow we will visit the auction house. I can copy that life gold there and expand my consciousness and soul space with that. Probably I will directly reach the spiritual abyss realm after absorbing it."
Xiao Yi muttered thoughtfully, standing beside the window looking at the outside direction.
…
The next morning,
All the Shrek members walked toward the Xuanguang Auction House.
"This is the no. 1 auction house in the Star Luo empire," Teacher Zhou Yi explained the details of the auction house and told them that they are here for soul guidance devices.
After they appeared and sat down on the seats and started looking at the stage of the auction house,
The auctioneer appeared and started the auction by showing the first product, a mosquito-shaped soul guidance device.
"The first auction is paralyzing bite; it can be used by the storm spirit master and can paralyze even the spirit king if not careful. The starting price is a thousand gold coins, and each bid increase shouldn't be less than fifty gold coins."
The audience were startled looking at the soul guidance tools and started bidding.
"Fifteen hundred,"
"Twenty-five hundred,"
Zhou Yi directly bid the higher price and bought it, then other items appeared one by one, and suitable ones were bid on by the Shrek and successfully bought.
Xiao Yi copied all the auction items and stored them in his storage space. Finally, the item he was waiting for appeared on the stage.
Xiao Yi raised his brow and glanced at it, looking at the box rising in the middle of the stage, and opened it up, revealing a dark red graver.
