"Teacher, are you alright!"
"Grandpa Sword is really something. He clearly got too caught up in the fight. Teacher didn't even use his most powerful swordsmanship against him! And he got serious!"
"Teacher, was it because of Rongrong that you intentionally let Grandpa Sword win to save his Face? You're so good to Rongrong, boohoo~"
At the Heart of Fire Villa, Ning Rongrong hugged Xin's arm, extremely nervous.
If Chen Xin heard this, his eyes would probably pop out.
Rongrong? Are you saying that the swordsmanship that made Grandpa Sword difficult to break wasn't even your teacher's best?
The moment the Cleaver of Shamash was cut, several students instantly tensed up. Bell couldn't even finish his melon seeds, spilling them everywhere. Only after confirming that Teacher was fine did he honestly go to clean up.
Xin smiled faintly: "Alright, your Grandpa Sword's swordsmanship is indeed incomparably sharp. I was careless, Teacher."
"But don't worry, Teacher is fine."
Xin lightly dusted off his clothes. Although Chen Xin fouled by using the power of his Spirit to break his Tai Chi Sword momentum, it wasn't enough to injure him.
"It's getting late, and dinner will be soon."
"Before that, I still need to give you your final competition deployment."
"Gather." Xin said, taking a deep breath.
"Yes!"
Hearing the word "gather," the seven students of Heart of Fire Academy stood in a neat line.
Xin said: "Tomorrow is the opening ceremony of the Spirit Master Tournament. After the opening ceremony, the preliminary rounds will begin. If you're lucky, you might be drawn to compete tomorrow."
"Nearly a hundred teams from across the continent will participate, and only thirty teams will stand out. The two great Empires each have fifteen slots, and our Heaven Dou City division has five promotion slots.
The preliminary rounds will adopt a single-elimination tournament format, which means you will need to compete against all teams in the Heaven Dou City division. The top five teams with the highest points will qualify for the promotion stage."
"With your current strength, if you fully exert yourselves, qualifying won't be difficult."
"However, Teacher hopes that in every Spirit Master competition, you can gain more team refinement and individual improvement."
"Therefore, in the preliminary rounds, you cannot use the cultivation methods and unique skills I taught you. Try to fight using only the most primitive Spirit power and Spirit Abilities.
And unless absolutely necessary, Lingling and Rongrong, you two support Spirit Masters cannot act at the same time. This means you will be fighting 6 against 7, until you feel the pressure and crisis of the situation."
