"Xiao San, what exactly happened?" Flender's expression was grave.
Hearing this, Tang San and Dai Mubai exchanged glances, then roughly recounted what had just happened to Flender.
Upon hearing that Ma Hongjun had his legs chopped off because of a woman, Flender's face turned ashen with rage, and he wanted nothing more than to slap Ma Hongjun.
"Headmaster, since this has already happened, let's solve the current problem first," Tang San said, glancing at Ma Hongjun's severed legs.
Hearing this, Flender's body trembled slightly. Ma Hongjun, as his direct disciple, had always been treated like his own son, but what had happened today was far beyond his expectations.
Not to mention finding the culprit, even if they did, what reason would they have to make the other party hand over the culprit? They were in the wrong to begin with. The other party could simply claim it was an accident that Ma Hongjun's legs were cut off. After all, if Ma Hongjun hadn't followed, nothing would have happened.
Thinking of this, Flender wanted to slap Ma Hongjun. All he thought about was women, women, and now, his legs were chopped off. Forget about playing with women, even if women wanted to play with him, he couldn't.
"You, you, what can I say to you?" Pointing at Ma Hongjun lying on the ground, Flender was so angry that he could barely speak.
Seeing this, Grandmaster immediately stepped forward, pressed Flender's shoulder, and rebuked, "Flender, Hongjun is your disciple. It's fine for you to help find someone, but why are you scolding him?"
Flender fiercely shook off Grandmaster's hand, and angrily said, "I scold him? What do you want me to do then? Go find Dugu Bo to question him? Or find Cheng Xiao's trouble? If it wasn't for this bastard's lust for beauty, how would he have ended up like this?"
"Besides, Ma Hongjun is my direct disciple, not yours. You don't need to interfere."
"Enough!" Grandmaster shouted, directly silencing the furious Flender, and said, "How you educate Ma Hongjun has nothing to do with me, but now, the match is about to start. Anything can wait until after the match is over."
Hearing this, Flender's lips trembled. He looked at Ma Hongjun with a look of disappointment, then helplessly waved his hand, signaling everyone to go to the match first. He himself quickly contacted a healing Soul Master to treat Ma Hongjun's legs.
Taking advantage of the fact that they hadn't been severed for long, perhaps there was still a chance.
Today was destined to be the busiest day of the year in Heaven Dou City, because the preliminary rounds of the Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, which had the attention of everyone, would soon reach its most exciting climax.
Under the guidance of the staff, Cheng Xiao and his group passed through a long, dark tunnel and then exited at the end.
The moment they stepped out, an overwhelming cacophony of sounds suddenly assaulted their ears. This deafening noise made Cheng Xiao and the others, who were used to a quiet environment, feel dizzy. After a while of getting used to it, they recovered.
To avoid exposing their strength on the first day, the participants from the Seven Star Academy in the preliminary rounds were: Cheng Xiao, Yu Tianheng, Qian Renxue, Ning Rongrong, the Shi Brothers, and Yu Feng.
At the same time, urged by the staff, the Shrek Academy team also appeared. However, it was obvious that because of their strange uniforms, the staff looked down on them, only providing one person to lead the way.
The Seven Star Academy, on the other hand, had three staff members leading them.
As soon as the Shrek Academy team walked out of the tunnel, they heard the announcer outside loudly announcing the names of each member of the Seven Star Academy. A special golden beam of light from a Soul Tool on a high platform on one side of the Great Soul Arena followed the Seven Star Academy's path.
All of this was arranged secretly by Xue Qinghe. After all, the Seven Star Academy was an academy he invested in. If it was too ordinary, people would think that he, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, was not capable.
Putting aside their strength for now, the Seven Star Academy had a good appearance. The black and blue team uniforms were embroidered with seven stars, and below the seven stars was a Q-version of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor. Under the illumination of the Soul Tool's light, it gave people a feeling of heroic spirit.
In contrast, their opponents, the Shrek Academy, were wearing a hideous green outfit. The most bizarre thing was the six bright red embroidered characters on their backs that read: "Seeking Sponsorship for the Championship."
Below the six large characters was a line of smaller text: For advertising fees, please contact the Dean of Shrek Academy, Mr. Flender, for a meeting.
This bizarre decoration caused the people from Shrek Academy to be scorned as soon as they entered the arena. Countless mocking voices rang out, causing Tang San and the others to harbor a nameless anger in their hearts.
"Damn it, the organizers of this damn competition are clearly using us as a foil to highlight those bastards from the Seven Star Academy. Later on the stage, see if I don't beat them until they're looking for their teeth all over the ground." Dai Mubai suppressed the anger in his heart and said.
Hearing this, Tang San replied, "Dai, when we get on stage later, just slap their faces. Don't forget, we are monsters, not ordinary geniuses!"
As the words faded, the contestants from Shrek Academy ascended the Great Soul Arena amidst waves of derision.
On the Great Soul Arena, Tang San saw Cheng Xiao's figure, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth. This time, with the help of his teacher, he had obtained a light-attribute fourth Soul Ring, and it was a ten-thousand-year one.
Although he had lost to this guy several times before, things were different now. Only he, Tang San, could stand on this stage, and only he, Tang San, could win the championship!
"Cheng Xiao, wait and see. Later, I will make your proud dark attribute completely lose to my Blue Silver Grass." Clenching his fists, Tang San's gaze towards Cheng Xiao was filled with pride.
Noticing Tang San's undisguised gaze, Cheng Xiao remained calm. He was unaware of Tang San's thoughts. Even if he knew, the outcome of this match wouldn't change. After all... the one appearing later wouldn't be him, but Qian Renxue, who was in an extremely unpleasant mood.
As a grand event in the Soul Master world held every five years, the Soul Masters participating in the competition were all targets for recruitment by various forces. Today's VIP stands were exceptionally lively. In the center row of seats, besides Emperor Xueye, Ning Fengzhi, and the Martial Soul Hall's Platinum Bishop Salas, there was also an old man in a green robe.
This old man in the green robe was none other than Dugu Bo, who had been brought over by Prince Xuexing.
Emperor Xueye looked at the Great Soul Arena with a slight smile, and asked Ning Fengzhi, who was beside him, "Sect Master Ning, among these twenty-eight Soul Master teams, which one do you favor the most?"
"Your Majesty, among these twenty-eight teams, I do indeed favor one of them, but please forgive me for keeping it a secret. I cannot reveal it for the time being." Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly, "But there is one thing Your Majesty can be assured of: the final champion of this competition will definitely belong to the Empire."
As soon as these words were spoken, Platinum Bishop Salas of the Martial Soul Hall, who was beside them, said with a half-smile, "Sect Master Ning, your words are truly confident. The final champion will definitely belong to the Empire. It seems Sect Master Ning is still unaware of the strength of our Martial Soul Hall team."
"Hehe, since Platinum Bishop is so confident, then this Ning person is even more looking forward to the performance of the Martial Soul Hall team." Instead of the expected confrontation, Ning Fengzhi just smiled faintly and stopped speaking.
Seeing this, Emperor Xueye, who was sitting in the center, glanced at Ning Fengzhi with a hint of doubt, and then said, "There is no need for you two to argue. After the competition is over, there will naturally be a result. It's Sect Master Ning's own business to favor which team, right? Salas?"
Platinum Bishop Salas glanced at Emperor Xueye indifferently and said, "Your Majesty is right, but I must mention that our goal this time in Martial Soul Hall is still only one, and that is the final champion."
"Salas, it seems you of the Martial Soul Hall are a bit too confident in your hopes of winning the final championship. In the past, you might have had a chance, but this year… well, don't be so sure of yourselves."
