Qin Mu learned the general outline of what happened next in the Elders' Hall through Ling Yuan.
Qin Mu felt both angry and gratified at Ling Yuan's insistence on standing up for him.
After all, although Ling Yuan acts rashly and without thinking, she genuinely cares about him.
He only hoped that this incident wouldn't cause Ling Yuan any danger later on.
During the period leading up to the finals of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, Qin Mu didn't cause any trouble and continued his daily cultivation routine.
Aside from occasionally practicing tactics with Hu Liena and others, he mostly sparred with Xie Yue, Zhang Ping, and others.
Learning from each other is the fastest way to get to know each other.
To increase the difficulty, Qin Mu and Hu Liena initially faced off against Xie Yue, Yan, and Zhang Ping.
During the sparring session, Xie Yue and Yan, as well as Zhang Ping and the other three, all demonstrated remarkable strength.
But unfortunately, they were facing Qin Mu and Hu Liena.
After two days of practice, Qin Mu and Hu Liena were able to easily defeat the six members of Xie Yue together.
Qin Mu was naturally dissatisfied with the training results and immediately increased the difficulty.
From the beginning when Yan led Zhang Ping and the other three, to later when Qin Mu alone was able to barely hold off the other six people besides Hu Liena.
As for why he didn't let Hu Liena join the battle against Qin Mu, it wasn't because Qin Mu and Hu Liena had a good relationship, so he was being chivalrous.
Rather, it was because Hu Liena had been training diligently during this period in order to catch up with Qin Mu, which made her spiritual strength far surpass that of other soul masters of the same age.
Hu Liena's allure didn't have a significant impact on Qin Mu.
However, in a situation where there are multiple opponents, Hu Liena's charm is enough to distract Qin Mu, making him somewhat inferior when facing the attacks of others.
In particular, Qin Mu once arrogantly challenged all seven members of the Spirit Hall Academy team, excluding himself, who were at full strength.
The final result was that he was defeated after persisting for a period of time.
Under the influence of the demon, Qin Mu's strength was compressed to a very limited extent, and the cooperation between Hu Liena and the other seven was also very tacit.
In particular, when in his bewitching state, Xie Yue's self-created soul skill, Full Moon, can defeat a level 68 Soul Emperor.
Under these circumstances, Qin Mu was ultimately outnumbered.
Of course, this is also why Qin Mu didn't dare to use his full strength against them.
Otherwise, Qin Mu would have used all his amplification skills and unleashed the Heaven and Earth Hammer, the power of which would have been enough to seriously injure Hu Liena and the other two.
Zhang Ping and her three companions, lacking sufficient strength, might even die outright.
Qin Mu had no choice but to accept this outcome.
However, if others knew that Qin Mu was thinking this way, they would probably vomit blood.
Brother, no matter how strong you are, you're still just one person!
Even if a Soul Sage cultivator joined forces, they might not be able to defeat them.
However, it was only through their combined efforts that they managed to defeat Qin Mu with great difficulty.
You're still not satisfied with this result?!
During these exchanges, the relationships among the group became less serious than before, and occasional playful bickering and joking occurred during breaks.
Qin Mu had been paying close attention to the results of the qualifying rounds of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.
To Qin Mu's surprise, he sent Ling Yuan to investigate the situation of the three Heaven Dou City promotion matches.
Ultimately, Ling Yuan failed to find Shrek Academy and Tang San, whom Qin Mu had requested to search for.
The journey was long, and firsthand information could not be delivered in a timely manner.
Finally, after all the advancing teams from the Heaven Dou Empire appeared, Qin Mu was surprised to find the name Shrek Academy.
It turns out that Shrek Academy did not participate through Heaven Dou City, but entered the final competition through its vassal state, the Kingdom of Barak.
Qin Mu had anticipated this outcome.
According to the original plot, these teams that advanced would be ambushed by Bibi Dong before entering Wuhun City.
Qin Mu originally planned to push things along and have Ling Yuan assist him from the sidelines, so that Tang San could be eliminated as soon as possible.
Surprisingly, Bibi Dong did not send anyone to intercept Tang San and his companions.
Without Bibi Dong taking action, Qin Mu naturally couldn't take advantage of the situation, nor could he arbitrarily send people to intercept and kill her.
After all, the team included Sword Douluo Chen Xin, whose strength was comparable to Ling Yuan's.
Moreover, such a rash move might give Bibi Dong, who already harbors resentment towards him, a handle to use against him.
After much deliberation, Qin Mu ultimately gave up the opportunity once again.
A month has passed in the blink of an eye.
As a large and imposing group of people appeared in Wuhun City, it marked the official start of the finals of the continent-wide high-level soul master elite competition!
As Qin Mu said a while ago, Li Kai replaced him in all four rounds of the Spirit Hall Academy's matches.
After all, facing these academies with his own strength is simply a matter of overwhelming them.
Even without Qin Mu's appearance, the Spirit Hall Academy still achieved a crushing victory.
While other academies generally rely on four-ring Soul Masters as their strongest fighters, the Spirit Hall Academy team boasts three Soul Kings.
This was utterly unbelievable to the other trainees, so their crushing victory was not surprising.
However, things gradually began to spiral out of Qin Mu's control.
First, Bibi Dong released the prize for the final champion of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament—three soul bones.
One piece emitted a blue light; it was a skull. The other two pieces emitted red and black light, respectively.
Anyone with eyes can see that these three soul bones were tailor-made for Hu Liena and the other two.
But the awkward thing is, where is Qin Mu?
Ling Yuan, who was already indignant about the previous decision to appoint the next pope, was about to confront Bibi Dong again, but Qin Mu stopped her in time.
For Qin Mu, these things were not the most important.
During this time, Qin Mu was not idle either, and he focused his attention on the Shrek team that had fought its way from the Kingdom of Barak to the finals.
To Qin Mu's surprise, Tang San and his seven companions still managed to reach the level of four rings, a level that was unprecedented for all of them.
According to the original novel, in the months leading up to the competition, among Tang San and his group, only Dai Mubai was at the fourth ring level.
The others are still quite far from the Fourth Ring.
How did you do that?
More than one unexpected thing happened; Qin Mu was also surprised by Xiao Wu's identity.
For some reason, Ling Yuan couldn't detect any soul beast aura on Xiao Wu.
Ling Yuan was quite certain that Xiao Wu was a genuine human Soul Master.
Qin Mu was certain that Tang San and the others had never been to the Ying Yang Ice And Fire Eyes. He even sent someone to find Dugu Bo to check the location of the Beautiful Silk Tulip.
Dugu Bo gave Qin Mu an unexpected answer: the Beautiful Silk Tulip was safe and sound in the Ying Yang Ice And Fire Eyes.
What exactly happened?
Suddenly, things took a turn for the worse and were out of Qin Mu's control.
The reason for the changes in Tang San and the others can perhaps only be understood after Qin Mu personally fights with them.
With many questions lingering, the fifth round of the finals is about to begin.
