Huo Wu's aura suddenly changed, and her temperament seemed to become more mature.
She indeed didn't disappoint Quan Yi, daring to shoulder heavy burdens, which wasn't something everyone could do.
"I will seriously consider this matter and discuss it with Dad."
After Huo Wu answered seriously, her solemn expression suddenly dissolved, and she leaned on Quan Yi with a smile.
"Speaking of which, were you being so bold just now to declare your sovereignty?"
The solemn atmosphere only lasted a few seconds before Huo Wu returned to her lively and cheerful state.
This kind of ever-changing, witch-like charm that couldn't be seen through made it impossible for Quan Yi to escape.
"Of course."
Quan Yi's affirmative answer immediately made Huo Wu's heart blossom, and a happy smile appeared on her face.
Publicly announcing their relationship without hesitation under the spotlight made Huo Wu feel Quan Yi's responsibility and sincerity.
"I'll let you pass this time."
Huo Wu smiled playfully and pulled Quan Yi towards the resting area.
...
The third day, the second round of the Preliminary Competition was about to begin.
Before the competition, Bishop Salas began the drawing of lots.
The two sides of the competition would be randomly drawn on the spot, which could be said to be very 'fair'.
The contestants didn't need to be like the first day; they only needed to stay in the resting area, and someone would deliver the battle schedule.
However, when the team leader brought the list of second-round opponents, everyone's expressions suddenly became a little surprised.
"Divine Wind Academy! We're facing them in just the second round?"
Huo Wushuang said with a strange expression.
Moreover, including him, the other members of the Team focused their gazes on Quan Yi and Huo Wu.
"First and second place, meeting so quickly, haha, what an interesting coincidence."
Seeing the results of the draw and combining it with Dugu Bo's reminder, Quan Yi couldn't help but feel suspicious.
Although the schedule was arranged to compete against all the Academies in turn, the order of the Academies' matches would have a significant impact on the overall results.
Taking Fire Star Academy as an example, if they were seriously injured in the battle with Quan Yi, then even if they faced a Team they had a chance of winning against today, they might be defeated due to the loss of combat power.
This was also the reason why they came to thank Quan Yi for his mercy today, and it was also the reason why Huo Wu admired the other party's courage.
Therefore, encountering a strong Team in the early stages would have a huge impact on the subsequent schedule.
Among all the Academies, Blazing Fire and Divine Wind should undoubtedly be the top Teams. Facing each other in the second round, if it wasn't a coincidence, then someone must have deliberately arranged it.
The purpose was to make the two tigers fight, depleting each other's ability to continue fighting.
"However, no matter who the opponent is, there is only one result when facing us, and that is 'defeat'.
Let us prove to everyone who is the undisputed number one."
Their match was arranged in the first group, and the location of the Arena was the most eye-catching central Arena.
The Divine Wind Academy Team and the Blazing Fire Academy Team stepped onto the Arena and faced each other.
Standing at the forefront of the Divine Wind Academy was Feng Xiaotian, who was staring at Quan Yi, his eyes not wavering in the slightest.
Quan Yi saw pure fighting intent in his eyes.
"I didn't expect that the duel that couldn't be realized at the beginning would be realized in this way.
Quan Yi, I will not back down.
This time, not for anything else, but to challenge myself."
Feng Xiaotian announced loudly to Quan Yi.
Obviously, Feng Xiaotian had no intention of surrendering at all. Having undergone a transformation, he had already let go of the various burdens in his heart.
Now, all that remained in his heart was the courage to challenge fear.
The Master of Ceremonies' excited voice, accompanied by dazzling lights, reached the ears of every spectator.
"The audience who came to watch the match today are truly fortunate! Now, allow me to introduce the two sides battling on the central arena.
On the right side, we have the Divine Wind Academy, led by the young Soul Emperor, Soul Master Feng Xiaotian.
Everyone should know that Soul Master Feng Xiaotian successfully broke a historical record yesterday, becoming the youngest Soul Emperor realm breakthrough in history."
The Master of Ceremonies' passionate explanation caused the entire arena to erupt. The youngest Soul Emperor on the continent – to them, this was witnessing history.
Due to certain reasons, the Master of Ceremonies couldn't elaborate further on the ranking, but he knew that the atmosphere had been ignited.
Immediately, he changed the subject, seizing the opportunity to strike while the iron was hot, "However, even with a Soul Emperor, the Divine Wind Academy might not be certain of their victory when facing the team I'm about to introduce.
Standing on the left side is the Blazing Fire Academy.
Yesterday, Soul Master Quan Yi of the Blazing Fire Academy Team, alone, relying solely on his physical strength, defeated a team of seven Soul Ancestors.
Because of this, all information about their Martial Souls, Soul Rings, Soul Skills, and levels has been hidden in a thick fog.
However, what is certain is that the hidden strength of this team should not be underestimated.
Facing the powerful Divine Wind Team, we don't know what kind of surprise the mysterious Blazing Fire Team will show us, so let's wait and see."
The referee walked onto the arena, signaling both sides to release their Martial Souls.
This duel could be described as attracting worldwide attention.
Even the other four teams that started their duels at the same time seemed to have reached an agreement, all facing the center, focusing on the duel in the central arena.
"Awoo!"
"Roar!"
A Dragon Roar and a wolf's howl soared into the sky.
A momentum like a violent storm erupted from the Divine Wind Academy's side. In an instant, the momentum of the seven people barely suppressed Quan Yi's Blood Qi power.
Quan Yi's Blood Qi were not fully released, so his momentum also had a certain limit.
However, this only lasted for a moment.
In the next moment, the momentum of the other members of the Blazing Fire Team erupted, pouring into it, directly pushing all the pressure onto their opponents.
"What is this scene? Am I seeing things?
Five, five Soul Ancestors with four Soul Rings.
Is this the strength of the Blazing Fire Academy?"
Except for Quan Yi and Huo Wu, the other five shone for the first time on the big stage today.
Five Soul Ancestors, among them Huo Wushuang's Unicorn Fire Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, had even cultivated to level forty-seven.
The momentum he emitted alone could strongly suppress the six Soul Masters on the other side, except for Feng Xiaotian.
Even with Feng Xiaotian, Quan Yi, and other brilliant gems in front, Huo Wushuang's current demeanor could not be ignored.
In the VIP seats, all the dignitaries, including Salas, stood up.
Such a shocking scene was something they had never seen before.
"Five Soul Ancestors are indeed powerful, but compared to a Soul Emperor, they are a whole level behind.
The key is those two people, what level are they exactly?"
Among the dignitaries, Salas stood at the forefront. As the mastermind behind this duel, he felt very fortunate.
At the same time, he was very eager to know all the information about Quan Yi and Huo Wu.
But Quan Yi, standing at the forefront, remained motionless, with no intention of releasing his Martial Soul at all.
On the other hand, Huo Wu, standing in the center of the team, began to release a dazzling brilliance.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black! A full six Soul Rings climbed up from Huo Wu's feet.
In just an instant, scorching air spread throughout the entire Soul Fight Arena.
But everyone gasped.
