The match ended, and Shrek Academy, as the dark horse, surprisingly defeated the seeded Star Luo Royal Academy, becoming the talk of the town.
As the Shrek team prepared to return to rest, they encountered the seeded team representing the Heaven Dou Empire, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team—old acquaintances, the Royal Team.
Yu Tianheng looked at Tang San and said with some admiration, "I didn't expect you to have become so strong."
Tang San smiled calmly, "You guys are good too. I can see you've improved a lot. It's just a pity I couldn't fight you again."
Yu Tianheng sighed and said, "I was planning to have another good match with you, but unfortunately, the opportunity is gone. Our next opponent is the Spirit Hall Academy."
The complete dominance of their strength instilled fear in the proud Yu Tianheng, a descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. He had no confidence in winning the upcoming match.
Tang San shouted, "Yu Tianheng, don't let me underestimate you. How do you know it's impossible if you haven't tried? If you don't even have the confidence to face the Spirit Hall, you're not worthy to be my opponent."
Yu Tianheng's eyes rekindled with fighting spirit, as if Tang San had ignited his entire being. "Tang San, you just wait. I'll let the Spirit Hall Academy know how powerful I am!"
"Is that so?" Dugu Yan's cold voice rang out from behind the crowd. "Yu Tianheng, I will be the first to appear in the next round of the arena. I'll be waiting for you."
"Yanzi." Yu Tianheng's gaze towards Dugu Yan was extremely complex.
"Looks like I won't get a chance to play again." Yan shrugged helplessly, looked at Tang San, and said with a mocking tone, "Our little prince is so pitiful. Some people are simply not worthy to be his opponents. But in the competition, the little prince still has to compete against them."
Xie Yue put his arm around Yan's neck and said with a smile, "You kid, your way of talking is getting better and better."
"Alright, His Highness and Rongrong are still waiting for us at the door, let's go." Hu Liena stepped forward and said, then turned to Dugu Yan, "Yan Yan, His Highness said he'd like to treat us to dinner. He said it's to celebrate your victory in tomorrow's arena match in advance."
Dugu Yan looked at Yu Tianheng, whose face suddenly turned very ugly, and smiled happily, "Okay, then let's set off quickly." After saying that, she left the competition venue with the Spirit Hall team without looking back.
Yu Tianheng suddenly called out to Dugu Yan, saying loudly, "Yanzi, tomorrow in the arena, I will be the first to step up, as you wish. I also hope that if I win, you will leave the Spirit Hall and return to my side."
Yu Tianheng's words fell silent, and Dugu Yan's face turned extremely pale.
"Yanyan, I believe in you," Hu Liena shouted.
"Yes, Yanyan. We believe in you," Xie Yue stepped forward and patted Dugu Yan's shoulder.
Dugu Yan suddenly laughed and said to Yu Tianheng, "I will not leave the Spirit Hall. If I lose, I, Dugu Yan, will commit suicide here."
"Yanyan!" Hu Liena called out to Dugu Yan, shaking her head disapprovingly.
Xie Yue and Yan looked at Yu Tianheng with disdain and killing intent.
"It's alright, trust me," Dugu Yan said with a smile. Although she was the weakest among the Blades of the Empire, it was not up to Yu Tianheng to look down on her. Having consumed the immortal herbs and participated in the divine assessment, Dugu Yan now had 100% confidence in defeating Yu Tianheng.
Dugu Yan tossed her dark green hair and said to her teammates, "Let's go, don't waste time with unimportant people, His Highness is still waiting for us."
"Don't worry, Yan Yan, she's no match for you. It's just a Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, nothing special." Na'er tugged at Dugu Yan's clothes, comforting her.
"Haha, of course. Come on, let's go eat something delicious." Dugu Yan picked up Na'er and walked away with her friends, ignoring the crowd behind her.
On the day of the semi-finals.
The semi-finals were probably the most anticipated match besides the finals.
The first round featured two seeded teams: the Royal Fighting Team from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and the Golden Generation Empire Blade Team from the Spirit Hall Academy.
Mel stood in the center of the stage and announced loudly, "Now I announce that the participants in this match are the Heaven Dou Royal Academy from the Heaven Dou Empire versus the Spirit Hall Academy from the Spirit Hall. Please welcome the students from both sides to the stage."
At Mel's announcement, the students from both sides walked onto the stage one by one.
After the two captains finished their greetings, the first contestant to participate in the arena match remained on the stage.
Looking at the two facing off, Dugu Bo flashed to Qian Renyue's side.
"Yue'er, do you think Yan Yan can win?" Dugu Bo asked with some concern. He had heard about what happened the day before yesterday afternoon and was quite worried about the match.
"Senior, don't you know Yan Yan's current strength?" Qian Renyue looked at Dugu Bo curiously, wondering what he was worried about.
"That brat has the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, which naturally has a suppressive and restraining effect on us snake-type Martial Souls. Besides, Yan Yan is a control-type Soul Master; I'm afraid she'll be at a disadvantage." Dugu Bo's face was full of worry.
"Don't worry, Yan Yan's Martial Soul has evolved into the Azure Scaled Flood Dragon. The suppressive effect of dragon-type Martial Souls will be greatly reduced, and the difference in Soul Power is quite large, so this effect won't be effective. Most importantly, Na'er prepared a gift for Yan Yan; no dragon-type Martial Soul will have any suppressive effect on her." Qian Renyue raised her hand and patted Na'er's head.
Na'er's intention was the same as Gu Yuena's. Originally, they just wanted Na'er to make up the numbers for the competition, but now Na'er is getting along better with everyone, and this time she even took the initiative to help Dugu Yan. As the ruler of all soul beasts, it's great that Gu Yuena is no longer hostile to humans and is willing to try to coexist peacefully.
"The difference in soul power is too big? Gifts?" Dugu Bo looked bewildered.
"The competition has started, come and watch the competition." Qian Renyue pointed to the stage.
Both sides released their martial souls. Yu Tianheng, martial soul Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus, level 48 power attack type battle soul master. Dugu Yan, martial soul Azure Scale Flood Dragon, level 58 control type battle soul king.
Yu Tianheng looked at Dugu Yan in shock. Two yellow, one purple, and two black soul rings, five soul rings symbolizing her status as a soul king.
Back then, Dugu Yan entered the Soul Sect before Yu Tianheng. In order to catch up, Yu Tianheng trained twice as hard. Just when he thought he could stand in front of Dugu Yan and tell her that she had chosen the wrong path, she had already become a soul king, leaving him far behind.
The rest of the Royal Fighting Team were equally shocked. They had thought Dugu Yan's decision to leave them and join the Spirit Hall was a mistake, and her lack of recent appearances only solidified their belief. The Shrek Academy team also hadn't expected their opponents to be not at the Soul Master level, but at the Soul King and Soul Emperor levels.
Tang San, meanwhile, thought of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. He could tell that Dugu Yan's spirit had evolved, presumably due to the immortal herbs. Tang San remembered that when he stole the immortal herbs, he had indeed seen Dugu Yan's grandfather, Dugu Bo.
Tang San secretly resolved to find an opportunity to take the remaining herbs; those he couldn't take, he would destroy. He absolutely couldn't let such a precious treasure fall into the hands of people like the Spirit Hall.
