Seven beautiful and charming girls from Tianshui Academy stepped onto the competition stage, but the audience didn't seem to be buying it, emitting waves of protests and sighs.
Most of those who bought tickets today came for Luo Yu, but who would have thought that he would go on strike and stay in the audience as a substitute.
A young man groaned, "Damn it! I spent a fortune getting this ticket from a scalper, and this guy's just slacking off in the audience?"
"Yeah, what a rip-off! I bought the ticket to see a one-against-seven fight!"
someone nearby sighed, trying to comfort him. "There are seven beauties on stage, you'd never normally get a chance to see them. This is alright."
The groaning young man looked dejected and said, "Even if they're beautiful, it's still upsetting. Why did this guy only fight one round and then stop? He could at least go up there, pose, and slack off!"
"Such a great opportunity to show off, I would have gone up there and displayed my prowess. What's this guy doing sitting here?"
Luo Yu completely ignored the commotion, quietly observing the Tianshui girls' performance from below the stage.
This kind of competition, aside from showing off, didn't offer him any real benefit, but it was still useful for Shui Yue'er and the others to hone their combat experience and test their training results.
On the competition stage...
Shui Bing'er led the way, with the rest of the group lined up behind her, facing the seven members of the Blazing Fire Academy. Leading them was Huo Wushuang, an ordinary-looking but tall man who exuded an imposing aura.
Behind Huo Wushuang stood an extremely beautiful girl.
Her golden-red team uniform clung to her body, perfectly complementing her dark red hair. She herself was like a blazing flame capable of melting men, though her beautiful eyes seemed somewhat unfocused, fixed on the direction below the stage.
"Shui Bing'er, why didn't Luo Yu go on stage? Does he look down on our Blazing Fire Academy?" Huo Wushuang's face was grim, his fists clenched in resentment.
He and his sister had trained diligently for three years, reaching levels 42 and 43 respectively, considering themselves quite accomplished among their peers. Yet, before even facing the Heavenly Water Academy, they had suffered an unprecedented blow.
The siblings' rival, whom they considered a formidable opponent, single-handedly crushed Elephant Armor Academy, another of the Five Elemental Academies, in their very first match. This shattered their hopes of revenge.
Shui Bing'er, hearing Huo Wushuang's question, smiled faintly, "If Brother Yu goes up, are you sure you dare to fight?"
Huo Wushuang's spirits lifted, seemingly wanting to utter some harsh words, but the words stuck in his throat. He glanced warily at the harmless, handsome young man in the wheelchair below the stage.
Huo Wu said, "If he goes up, we will undoubtedly lose. But he's not here now. If you lose to us, you can't blame anyone else."
"Tch, you think you'll win?"
Shui Bing'er sneered. She and Huo Wu were old enemies, and she remembered how Huo Wu used to bully her because of her age and long cultivation time.
Shui Yue'er, standing beside her, seemed to suddenly understand, "Sister, are you saying that Brother Yu isn't going up because he wants us to take revenge ourselves?"
Shui Bing'er was taken aback. Was that so?
She then shook her head. Regardless of Luo Yu's thoughts, while her own efforts played a part in achieving her and the Tianshui team's current strength, it was inseparable from the support of men.
She knew very well who would be grateful if she could personally avenge their defeat.
"Boom!"
A wave of energy erupted from the Blazing Fire Academy, suddenly bursting forth with powerful soul light. Two four-ring Soul Masters and five three-ring Soul Venerables showcased the foundation befitting a prestigious school. Huo
Wushuang stood at the head, his One-Horned Fire Typhoon Martial Soul possessing him, his body entering dragon form. He smiled calmly, "If that guy were on stage, I naturally wouldn't have the confidence to beat you, but since he's not here, don't blame me for taking advantage of the situation."
"Taking advantage of the situation?" Shui Bing'er's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident gleam.
Behind Huo Wu, flames loomed, and her pride seemed to return as she faced Shui Bing'er and the others. "I've been diligently cultivating for the past three years. My former defeated opponents have no reason to defeat me."
Shui Bing'er remained silent, turning to her six teammates. The seven exchanged glances and nodded in unison.
"Boom!"
An icy blue light erupted, followed by a dazzling display of color.
The aura emanating from the seven members of Tianshui Academy instantly overwhelmed Chihuo Academy. Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu stared wide-eyed, their flames swaying in the face of the sudden, powerful aura. Shocked exclamations rang out simultaneously.
"Your cultivation levels—"
"How is this possible?!"
The audience, initially disappointed by Luo Yu's absence, began to stir upon witnessing the Tianshui girl group's cultivation levels.
Four were Soul Masters at the Soul Sect level or higher, and the remaining three had clearly reached the limit of Soul Venerable. They seemed to be intentionally suppressing their potential, even though they could break through.
Most viewers had initially thought the girls from Tianshui Academy were just a bunch of pretty but talentless beauties, never imagining they were actually a group of true geniuses, stronger than any other team in the competition, not to mention the monstrous man on the sidelines.
Shui Bing'er stared at the stunned Blazing Fire Academy team opposite her, shaking her head. They had all received Luo Yu's training and had long since stopped considering these teams as targets.
"Everyone, don't be careless! Don't let Brother Yu down!"
"Okay."
Shui Yue'er's face brightened; she remembered the woman opposite them's arrogant demeanor, now completely deflated, seemingly devoid of fighting spirit.
Without Brother Yu's presence, this scene would never have occurred.
Huo Wushuang was still reeling from the shock when Huo Wu, suppressing her own awe, shouted, "Don't give up, everyone! Our academy can lose, but we absolutely cannot surrender! I can't bear the shame!"
"Whoosh!"
The offensive-type Soul Masters on both sides launched their attack, while the control-type Soul Masters simultaneously flanked from the rear, unleashing their signature Soul Skills. Exploding flame halos and frigid ice spikes collided, creating a continuous symphony and roar.
The first round of probing ended, and the result was obvious: the Blazing Fire Academy, significantly weaker in cultivation, began to retreat steadily.
"Boom—" At that moment, flames suddenly erupted from the enemy ranks, the fiery red light filling half the arena with an intense heat.
Almost simultaneously, flames erupted from the seven members of the Blazing Fire Academy team, their first spirit rings radiating dazzling light.
Sparks flew from their two support-type spirit masters, countless tiny red points of light rapidly converging towards them. As the red points condensed, the sparks grew larger, swirling above the seven.
Huo Wushuang and another attack-type spirit master charged forward, a resounding dragon roar erupting from his mouth. Flames rising from his body vaguely formed a dragon shape on his back, his body swelling considerably, his skin covered in a layer of scorching dark red scales.
The two agility-type spirit masters simultaneously circled around, each unleashing a pair of magnificent wings, gliding with unpredictable arcs to the rear of the Heavenly Water team, attacking Ning Rongrong and Shui Bing'er in the center.
Meanwhile, dazzling sparks condensed in the air and rapidly flowed into the bodies of the others. Each spark infused the flames on the Blazing Fire Academy students with even greater intensity.
Undoubtedly, Blazing Fire Academy lived up to its reputation as one of the five elemental academies, cultivating students with exceptional teamwork.
Watching the Blazing Fire Academy's powerful coordination on the field, Luo Yu's eyes showed a hint of approval, not because of their strength, but because of their attitude of giving their all even against opponents stronger than themselves—a truly commendable quality.
"Seven Treasures Spin with Glazed Glass!"
"The Seven Treasures have names: first, Strength; second, Speed; third, Soul; fourth, Defense."
The seven-colored pagoda spun rapidly in Ning Rongrong's palm. Under Luo Yu's supervision, her family's secret technique of controlling distraction had reached an extremely high level. Dazzling beams of light flew methodically towards her teammates.
"Thanks, Rongrong!"
With Ning Rongrong's blessing, the girls' auras instantly surged, already overwhelming Blazing Fire Academy, now reaching their peak.
"Bang!"
Shui Bing'er's first soul skill lit up. She used the Ice Seal, a group control skill, with consummate skill, accurately targeting the seven attackers from various tricky angles.
At the same time, the cute girl Mo Xue's body surged with explosive ice rings, coordinating with Ice Seal for interference and control.
Ke Han's Frost Shark and her teammates' Frost Blades worked together, moving through the air like ghosts. Their fluid teamwork far surpassed the level of Blazing Fire Academy, a sight to behold for the audience.
Especially since each of the students from Tianshui Academy was a tall and graceful beauty, every movement exuding indescribable charm.
Blazing Fire Academy's formation was broken by the powerful and coordinated attack, their offensive lost its momentum, and they were on the verge of complete defeat. Huo Wu's face turned solemn as she unleashed her strongest attack.
Her purple soul ring lit up, the dazzling purple light merging with the golden-red aura emanating from her body, and a dazzling ring of flames instantly erupted, spreading to the most needed areas.
Shui Bing'er faced the powerful attack head-on without fear. Her expression held a strange undercurrent as she glanced at the man below the stage, then quickly turned to coldly stare at the woman opposite her.
"Huo Wu, you've lost."
"Clang!"
A resounding phoenix cry soared into the sky, and a gigantic ice crystal phoenix emerged, bringing with it an extreme chill, flying directly towards Huo Wu's resistance ring.
A crackling sound rang out as the blazing flames were instantly extinguished, an explosion echoing across the stage, and smoke billowed out.
In the VIP room, Emperor Xue Ye, who had come to watch the battle again, repeatedly exclaimed in admiration, "Tianshui Academy used to be just average, how come they've produced such monstrous talents this year?"
The Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall's dim eyes occasionally flashed with a sharp light and deep thought, lost in thought.
Ning Fengzhi looked at Luo Yu, growing more and more fond of her. Others might not know why his daughter was so strong, but did he not?
This was a peerless genius capable of leading a force to rise!
"The mainland is in turmoil. Instead of expanding outwards through alliances, it's better to place our bets on the younger generation,"
Ning Fengzhi thought to himself, his eyes gleaming with determination. "However, I still need to go back and discuss it with Uncle Jian and Uncle Gu."
As the dust settled, the girls from Tianshui Academy had calmly risen and stood together, while those from Chihuo Academy lay prostrate on the ground, except for Huo Wu, who stubbornly maintained her upright posture.
Huo Wu looked at Shui Bing'er, a bitter taste in her mouth. She had considered the possibility of defeat, but never imagined losing to Shui Bing'er, and so decisively at that.
Looking back at her teammates, all of them were lying on the ground, but their injuries weren't too serious; most were due to exhaustion from dealing with the attacks.
"I've lost,"
Huo Wu said, her tall figure tinged with melancholy. She subconsciously glanced at the young man below the stage, who seemed confident in his ability to defeat the Tianshui girls.
She knew that Shui Bing'er and the others' rapid growth was definitely related to this man.
On the opposite side, the Shui Bing'er sisters and all the team members, after their resounding victory, refrained from any mockery or display of arrogance.
They calmly accepted the cheers from the sidelines, watching the Blazing Fire Academy team leave the stage, only their eyes revealing a different kind of gaze fixed on the man below.
"Let's once again give a warm round of applause to the miraculous Tianshui team!" The emcee was also in high spirits, his emotions stirred by the exciting battle.
The seven beautiful girls of the Tianshui team stood on the stage, receiving the spotlight, but didn't rush off, exchanging knowing glances.
Shui Bing'er stepped forward, raising her hand to mute.
The audience's eyes gleamed with curiosity, whispering amongst themselves. Was this girl going to issue a challenge? Or perhaps a triumphant shout?
Shui Bing'er took the emcee's megaphone, her gaze fixed intently on the man below.
