"Chuanling Academy? Was this academy on the previous list of participating teams?"
Ma Hongjun asked in confusion. Dai Mubai beside him was also puzzled, and Tang San also looked troubled.
He was also hearing the name of this academy for the first time.
He could only look at Yu Xiaogang beside him and ask,
"Teacher... are you familiar with Chuanling Academy?"
"Chuanling Academy?
I've never heard of this name before..."
Yu Xiaogang's expression was a bit ugly.
He had started studying the participating teams a few months ago, analyzing the strong teams, but he should have an impression of both the weak and strong teams.
The only one he really didn't remember was Chuanling Academy.
Yu Xiaogang's face was ugly.
After returning to the rest area, he had no choice but to start checking one by one with a dark face, and also relied on his connections to ask for information.
The news spread quickly, and upon receiving the confirmation, Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened in disbelief.
"This...this Spirit Transmission Academy is none other than the Heaven Dou Empire Royal Academy we visited before!
They just recently changed their name, and the registration process was only recently completed, so our previous registration forms are gone!"
Upon hearing this, Tang San and the others exclaimed in surprise.
"What? The Heaven Dou Royal Academy changed its name to Spirit Transmission Academy..."
"Impossible!"
The Heaven Dou Royal Academy was the symbolic academy of the Heaven Dou Empire; how could it change its name so easily?
And what did "Spirit Transmission Academy" mean?
Among the Shrek Seven Devils, only Ning Rongrong had the strangest expression; she exclaimed in surprise.
"Spirit Transmission Academy...Spirit Transmission Tower! My god, it's actually true!"
Tang San and the others immediately looked at Ning Rongrong and asked anxiously.
"Rongrong, do you know about this?"
"As you all know, my father is the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and he has a very good relationship with the Heaven Dou Empire.
Actually, some time ago, my father told me a secret... saying that someone has researched something that can change the soul ring system, something like a soul spirit!"
"They say soul spirits can fight outside the body, and one soul spirit is equivalent to several soul rings...
This Spirit Pagoda and Spirit Academy are related to this soul spirit."
Ning Rongrong said with a somewhat unnatural expression.
"However, I think it's too far-fetched.
I can't imagine how it could overturn the soul ring system."
Soul spirit!
Hearing Ning Rongrong say this, everyone remembered something. They seemed to have heard of this thing during their time in Heaven Dou City, and subconsciously thought it was a scam!
Tang San's expression was interesting, hesitant to speak, but before he could speak, an angry voice rang out first.
"Impossible! I think it's impossible!"
"This so-called soul spirit must be fake!?"
Everyone looked behind them with strange expressions, because the speaker was none other than Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, who was now completely unrefined, cursing like a shrew.
"Why...why are you so sure, Grandmaster!"
Ning Rongrong asked in confusion, while Yu Xiaogang roared angrily with a red face.
"Because spirit rings are the foundation of spirit masters, this is the most fundamental law, and no one can change it, so spirit spirits are definitely a scam... just a way to swindle money."
Yu Xiaogang was about to go crazy upon hearing this so-called spirit spirit theory, because if it were true, wouldn't his spirit mastery theory be useless?
What would be the point of his life's research?
Wouldn't he become a laughingstock?
"Xiao San... no matter if the opponent is Heaven Dou Royal Academy or Spirit Transmission Academy, I only have one request, which is..."
"Defeat them, utterly defeat them!"
Yu Xiaogang roared, and the Shrek Seven Devils felt immense pressure, but still nodded firmly.
Whatever spirit spirits they were talking about, Shrek Academy would win!
...
...
On the other side, in the Spirit Transmission Academy's rest area... no, to be precise, it was the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's rest area.
Since the Spirit Transmission Academy was renamed from Heaven Dou Royal Academy, almost all of its previous privileges had been canceled, so they also had to participate in the preliminary and qualifying rounds.
In the rest area where the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament was being held, Qian Renshang and the others had arrived early to prepare for the competition!
Qian Renshang stood tall and straight at the forefront, his golden hair gleaming like brilliant sunlight.
His eyes, like deep stars, shone with determination and wisdom, while his straight nose and tightly pursed lips revealed his fortitude and decisiveness.
Today, he wore a magnificent golden robe, which fluttered in the wind, further emphasizing his majesty and nobility.
Gu Yuena stood beside Qian Renshang, her long silver hair cascading down like a waterfall, shimmering with a mysterious luster.
Her skin was as white as snow, her eyebrows and eyes as exquisite as a painting, her delicate features seemingly the most perfect masterpiece of heaven.
Her eyes were cold and deep, as if they could see through everything.
She wore a long silver dress, the hem of which fluttered, like a fairy descending to earth.
"This competition is indeed quite grand.
You humans are more interesting...
The competition determines the allocation of cultivation resources."
Gu Yuena subconsciously sighed as she looked at the magnificent competition venue ahead.
The more she learned about the human world these days, the more she felt the gap between soul beasts and humans was widening.
Ten thousand years later, soul beasts will definitely not be a match for humans... and the gap will be enormous.
"That's right, humans are indeed blessed with natural advantages, daring to think and change... it's no wonder that soul beasts lost to them!"
A powerful voice suddenly rang out from behind, the speaker was none other than the Beast God Di Tian!
Today, Di Tian was still wearing his familiar black robe, his hands behind his back, exuding an air of superiority.
"The draw results are out, right? Who are we facing again?"
Qian Renshang suddenly spoke up at this moment, and not long after... a young man with short blue hair who looked very resolute ran over.
"Boss Qian... the results are out, we're facing Shrek Academy!"
The young man was none other than Yu Tianheng, the former number one genius of the Innate Dou Royal Academy!
There are no absolute friends or absolute enemies.
When Yu Tianheng learned that Qian Renshang had already reached the seventh ring of Soul Saint and had survived Bibi Dong's attack, he knew that he and the other party were no longer on the same level.
When the gap is too large, it is difficult for jealousy to arise, so Yu Tianheng directly surrendered to Qian Renshang.
Qian Renshang naturally didn't refuse Yu Tianheng's offer of allegiance.
There wasn't much of a conflict to begin with, and his sights were already set on the true powerhouses of the continent.
So he accepted Yu Tianheng into his team.
"Shrek Academy?"
Qian Renshang's lips curled slightly. What a coincidence!
He knew Shrek Academy held a special place in this world.
Logically, this Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament should have been a crucial platform for their rise; it was here that they won the championship and shocked the entire continent.
But… now, things might change.
Because they'd encountered him!
