Chapter 249: Battle Against Purple Star Academy!
"Alright, alright, let's decide by drawing lots!"
Kong waved his hand helplessly.
Everyone was staring eagerly, but there were only a few spots available. No matter who went up, the result would be the same, so what difference did it make?
To put it bluntly, they were just there to show their faces and make up the numbers!
"Sigh~ Drawing lots?"
"That's actually a perfect solution!"
Before long, the drawing was complete.
"Hahaha... As expected, I, Ma Hongjun, am the chosen one, second only to the captain!"
"I got selected!"
"Tch, I'm not bad either!"
The group exchanged words, and the lineup was finally decided.
"Huh? Captain, including you, there are only six team members so far. There's still one more spot left..."
"It's mine!"
At that moment, Dugu Yan walked over confidently from Ye Lingling's side. She extended her hand and revealed the lot that signified her participation.
Behind her, Ye Lingling cast a resentful glance at Dugu Yan before pouting slightly. However, she didn't say anything.
That was just her personality—never one to fight or compete. Though she also wanted to participate, she couldn't refuse her best friend.
Shifting her gaze away from Dugu Yan, she looked back at Kong.
Kong simply smiled helplessly and said nothing.
Clearly, Dugu Yan must have made some sort of secret deal with Ye Lingling just now!
"Huh? Strange... Why do I feel like someone's missing?"
Yufeng looked around, glancing left and right. He had a nagging feeling that someone was absent tonight, but he just couldn't remember who.
Dai Mubai: "..."
Time passed, and soon, it was the next day.
Three matches were scheduled for today, starting at around ten in the morning.
The audience had already taken their seats and exchanged glances while looking toward the Emperor Battle Team's rest area.
Goodness, in the previous three rounds, they hadn't even shown up once yet still advanced to the top six!
Being a seeded team, they had been given a direct pass. They didn't compete in the preliminary rounds or the knockout rounds...
Of course, the spectators were still extremely curious about the strength of the Emperor Battle Team.
After all, even the second team had a Soul King-level expert. Who knew how terrifying the first team would be?
In the Purple Star Academy's rest area, Xiao Wu's expression was not looking great. She hadn't even gotten a chance to fight Tang San yet, and now she was up against Kong and Dugu Yan.
This match was destined for Purple Star Academy to lose!
Tang San's combat strength also left Xiao Wu extremely surprised!
A Soul King?
How did Tang San become a Soul King in such a short amount of time?
Currently, Xiao Wu was only at the Soul Ancestor level. Against Tang San, she had no chance of winning.
"Wumei, stop overthinking. It's just the Emperor Battle Team. That Soul King from their second team probably ended up there because the first team is too spoiled and incompetent. That's why he led the second team instead."
"You don't understand anything. There's no point in saying this now. You'll see for yourself soon enough."
Xiao Wu shook her head and spoke indifferently.
Hearing this, the Purple Star Academy members scoffed.
"Tch."
She said they didn't understand?
Told them they would see soon enough?
Once they defeated this so-called Emperor Battle Team, they'd see what Xiao Wu had to say then!
He was just showing concern for Xiao Wu, but instead, she was boosting the enemy's morale while undermining their own confidence!
The Star Luo Empire's only remaining team was the Purple Star Team. They couldn't afford to lose!
Time quickly passed, and soon, it was ten in the morning.
Without any warm-up from a host, the match officially began!
First up was a battle between Shenfeng Academy and Wuhun Academy.
The gap in strength between the two sides was immense. Given that this was the home ground of the Spirit Hall, the number of spectators supporting Wuhun Academy was like an endless tide, countless in number.
"Feng Xiaotian, your strength is quite decent among the competitors this year. Unfortunately, you ran into us."
Feng Xiaotian's expression darkened. He had watched the match between Wuhun Academy and Star Luo Royal Academy yesterday.
Even Star Luo Royal Academy wasn't their match—let alone his own Shenfeng Academy.
"I still want to give it a try."
Feng Xiaotian spoke with unwavering determination.
That's right—he just wanted to try.
He wanted to test how big the gap was between himself and the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall.
Feng Xiaotian was undeniably talented, but he had spent most of his time developing his own soul skills rather than focusing on cultivation. That was why his soul power level lagged so far behind the Golden Generation.
In the original story, five years later, Feng Xiaotian had reached the Soul Emperor level. At that time, even Tang San had only just broken through to Soul Emperor. If not for Xiao Wu's sacrifice, Tang San's soul power level wouldn't have been much higher than Feng Xiaotian's.
"Then let's grant your wish!"
This match couldn't be called exciting—Shenfeng Academy was completely defeated!
The two sides weren't even on the same level!
The second match was between Thunder Academy and Emperor Battle Team's second squad.
The second squad had made it this far almost entirely thanks to Tang San's efforts.
Facing the Thunder Academy team, Tang San did not use his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. Instead, he unleashed his Clear Sky Hammer!
The moment the Clear Sky Hammer appeared, many people gasped in shock!
This was the capital of the Spirit Hall—the very heart of their power!
And here stood a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect, daring to participate in a competition within their stronghold?
Wait… he was a twin martial soul user?!
But in order to increase his strength, he had already attached soul rings to his second martial soul in advance. What kind of reckless thinking was this? Just what kind of training had the Clear Sky Sect given him?
Facing Tang San, Yu Tianxin had no confidence.
He was already behind by one soul ring compared to Tang San.
That alone was bad enough.
But Tang San was wielding the strongest tool martial soul in the world!
"Hmph, even if I lose, I'm still going to leave a mark on you!"
"I want to prove that it's not because your martial soul is stronger than mine—it's simply because your talent is better!"
A twin martial soul was a gift that couldn't be envied.
If a soul master with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul also possessed a twin martial soul, and only attached nine true dragon or sub-dragon soul rings to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon after reaching the Title Douluo realm…
Then, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul would truly become the strongest in the world!
At that level, its evolution would be unimaginable!
Yu Tianxin proved the strength of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon through his actions. He lost the match, but he succeeded in leaving a wound on Tang San's face!
This infuriated Tang San.
It was the first time he had been injured since cultivating his second martial soul!
The scene shifted, and finally, it was time for the battle between the Emperor Battle Team and the Purple Star Team.
The Emperor Battle Team's lineup consisted of Kong, Dugu Yan, Ma Hongjun, Yufeng, Shi Mo, Shi Mo, and Yu Tianheng!
Oslo, Ye Lingling, Oscar, and Dai Mubai could only sit in the resting area with Qin Ming, watching from the sidelines.
"Sigh, I'm so jealous," Oscar muttered, feeling a little dejected.
"Being jealous won't help you. Funny enough, our names are only one character apart," said Oslo, the Ghost Leopard.
"Good thing our martial souls are different. Otherwise, I'd start wondering..."
"Could it be that we're long-lost brothers?"
"..."
On the arena stage, the members of the Purple Star Team were now stepping forward one by one…
