Watching Yu Xiaogang flee in disarray, Liu Erlong remained indifferent, showing no concern whatsoever.
Then, her gaze shifted and landed on Yu Tianqing:
"Sky blue".
What does he want from you?
Yu Tianqing didn't hide anything and told Liu Erlong about the evolution of his martial soul.
"snort!"
After hearing what Yu Tianqing said, Liu Erlong snorted coldly:
"You ungrateful wretch."
"With his abilities, he still dreams of evolving his martial soul? That's just wishful thinking!"
Without further ado, Liu Erlong and Yu Tianqing left together.
On the other side, Yu Xiaogang had already run to a secluded place.
"hateful!!"
Thinking of the humiliation he had just suffered, his eyes widened in fury, and he punched a tree trunk.
"shame!"
"This is an utter disgrace!"
Blood seeped from Yu Xiaogang's fist. He gritted his teeth, his eyes burning with rage.
"At the Soul Master Competition."
"You'll regret this."
Yu Xiaogang said coldly.
Now, he can only place all his hopes on the upcoming Soul Master Competition.
...
The next day.
Yu Tianqing got up early and went to find Liu Erlong, intending to have Liu Erlong lead them in one last training session.
After all, the continent-wide elite competition for high-level soul master academies is about to begin.
What Yu Tianqing didn't expect was...
When he arrived at Liu Erlong's room, Liu Erlong had just gotten up.
Helpless, Yu Tianqing could only wait in the room.
At this moment, Liu Erlong was tidying her fiery red hair in front of the mirror. She was only wearing a thin silk robe, and her voluptuous and slender figure was faintly visible in the morning light.
"What are you looking at?"
Suddenly, Liu Erlong asked in surprise.
Looking in the mirror, she saw that Yu Tianqing was staring intently at her.
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianqing smiled and said calmly:
"With such good looks, it's hard not to want to take a second look."
Upon hearing Yu Tianqing's reply, Liu Erlong was immediately amused. After tidying her hair, she got up and walked over to Yu Tianqing.
"No respect for elders."
"I have even better stuff out there, do you want to see?"
As he said this, Liu Erlong gave Yu Tianqing a strange look.
"Um?"
Yu Tianqing's heart trembled upon hearing Liu Erlong's words.
For a moment, I was unsure what to do.
I wonder if Liu Erlong is serious or just teasing me?
Seeing Yu Tianqing stunned, Liu Erlong burst out laughing:
"You little rascal."
"You really want to see something even better?"
After hearing Liu Erlong's words, Yu Tianqing quickly came to his senses and said somewhat awkwardly:
"You...you'd better change your clothes quickly!"
"Today, in addition to the training camp, we also need to draw our first opponent for the competition."
Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong's expression turned serious, and she nodded slightly, saying:
"Okay, wait a minute!"
Soon, Liu Erlong changed his clothes and left with Yu Tianqing.
After leading the Azure Dragon team through a training session, Liu Erlong took everyone to the Heavenly Dou Imperial City to draw their opponents for tomorrow's team competition.
"Blazing Fire Academy?"
After the draw, the first opponent of the Azure Dragon team has been determined, and that is the Blazing Fire team.
Shui Bing'er and the other women all seemed nervous about this.
This Blazing Fire team is no pushover.
On the contrary, Yu Tianqing remained calm and composed, not caring at all.
While others might not know this, Yu Tianqing was well aware of it.
The only slightly stronger members of the Blazing Fire Team are the siblings Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu.
However, compared to him, they seem insignificant.
...
The next day.
The Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies has officially begun.
As the grandest Soul Master competition in the Soul Master world, it attracts not only the attention of Soul Masters.
From royalty and nobility to commoners, every citizen of Tiandou City regarded this competition as the grandest festival.
The opening ceremony was held in the Heavenly Battle Arena in Heavenly Dou City.
Tickets for the opening ceremony had already sold out a month in advance.
This demonstrates just how popular it is.
At this moment, centered around the Heaven Dou Grand Soul Arena, almost a third of Heaven Dou City was packed with people.
Starting a few days ago, all hotels of all levels in Tiandou City have been fully booked.
The city's population has nearly doubled.
For this competition, Tiandou City mobilized thousands of city defense troops to maintain order.
This is how riots were avoided as much as possible.
Yesterday, the heads of various colleges drew lots to determine their opponents.
And the first battle of the opening ceremony.
It's the Azure Dragon Team versus the Blazing Fire Team!
At this moment, countless spectators in the stands are engaged in heated discussions.
"Azure Dragon Team? What kind of team is that? I've never heard of it before!"
"It seems to be a spot from Blue Tyrant Academy, which has been renamed Azure Dragon Team."
"Blue Tyrant Academy?"
"If we don't call it the Blue Tyrant Team, what should we call it, the Azure Dragon Team?"
"I heard it's a newly formed team."
"The Blazing Fire Team is no pushover; they're one of the Five Elements Academies. The Azure Dragon Team is in serious trouble in this first battle!"
"..."
Meanwhile, in the Blazing Academy's preparation area.
Huo Wu looked at the match schedule, her brows furrowing slightly.
"Azure Dragon Team? What's their background?"
Suddenly, Huo Wu saw a familiar name on the match list.
"Shui Bing'er? Shui Yue'er and Xue Wu?"
"What happened?"
"How did their names end up in the Azure Dragon team?"
Huo Wu exclaimed in surprise, her face full of confusion.
She knew Shui Bing'er and the others; they were the pride of Tianshui Academy.
However, nowadays, Shui Bing'er and the other girls are not in the Tianshui team, but have appeared in the Qinglong team, a little-known team.
After much thought, Huo Wu still couldn't come up with a solution.
At this moment, the team leader approached and said:
"If you're ready, it's time to go on stage!"
"Keep it up, everyone! Let's strive for a resounding victory!"
Upon hearing what the team leader said, Huo Wu composed herself.
Then, without delay, the group went out under the guidance of their teacher.
On the other side, Liu Erlong, along with Yu Tianqing, Shui Bing'er, and other members of the Azure Dragon team, also got up and walked out of the preparation area.
They were just waiting for the referee's announcement before they went on stage to begin the competition.
The two teams met by sheer coincidence in the passage leading to the arena.
Huo Wu wore a fiery red battle dress, her long, beautiful legs peeking out from between the slits in the skirt, her stunning figure incredibly alluring.
Upon seeing Shui Bing'er and other familiar faces, Huo Wu stepped forward and stared directly at Shui Bing'er.
"Bing'er, what are you doing in this ragtag group?"
"They even abandoned their own Tianshui Academy?"
Hearing Huo Wu's taunts, Shui Bing'er remained calm and did not refute them.
Instead, Shuiyue'er couldn't help but respond:
"A ragtag team?"
"If your Blazing Fire team loses to our ragtag team, you'll lose face big time!"
