#197 - First game, against Thunder Academy

The New Divine Wind Academy's first battle target was Dragon Sunflower Academy. As the referee announced the start of the match, Huo Wu and Feng Xiaotian took the lead.

Feng Xiaotian, relying on his astonishing wind manipulation, stirred up a gust of wind. The fierce wind howled past, with chilling wolf howls and ghost cries mixed within.

Now, Feng Xiaotian's soul power had reached level forty-eight, and the gale he stirred up was naturally exceptionally terrifying. Under the blowing of the gale, the members of the opposing Dragon Sunflower Academy couldn't even open their eyes and had to raise their hands to block Feng Xiaotian's level eight gale.

"Wushuang, Huoyun, it's up to you guys."

"Hehe, leave it to me, Flame Jet!"

Huo Wushuang slightly curved the corners of his mouth, condensing soul power in front of his chest, turning it into a large fireball. Then, Huo Wushuang threw a punch. Huoyun, on the side, followed suit, his soul power blasting out of his body along with his punches.

With the wind fueling the fire, the two's fire attribute soul power, enhanced by the level eight gale, transformed into a scorching sea of fire, approaching Dragon Sunflower Academy like a monstrous wave.

"What?"

"Run!"

"We admit…"

Before the word "defeat" could be uttered, the scorching sea of fire engulfed the members of Dragon Sunflower Academy. In the end, to save their lives and avoid being burned to charcoal by the sea of fire, they had no choice but to jump out of the Spirit Fight Stage and actively admit defeat, ending the match.

Just like that, in less than half a minute, New Divine Wind Academy achieved victory in their first match.

Having only deployed three people, they defeated Dragon Sunflower Academy, which had three Soul Ancestors. It has to be said that the New Divine Wind Academy's strength was truly too strong.

Dai Weisi dared to say that the overall combat power of this New Divine Wind Academy might be much stronger than that of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

After the match ended, Huo Wu and Feng Xiaotian revealed a smile towards Dai Weisi, as if saying: Surprise, surprise? Exciting, isn't it?

Dai Weisi also smiled slightly. To be honest, he really wanted to spar with this New Divine Wind Academy.

After New Divine Wind's match ended, the remaining matches were not worth watching. Dai Weisi simply returned to the hotel to cultivate alone, preparing for the upcoming battles.

Time flew by, and two days passed quickly. Dai Weisi's soul power improved by another point.

During these two days, the first round of the finals ended perfectly. The three seed teams did not participate in the battles; only thirty academy teams competed.

After the first round of matches ended, a total of fifteen academies were eliminated, slinking away from Spirit City, each returning to their own homes and finding their own mothers.

Once eliminated, they could leave Spirit City. Of course, according to past rules, the eliminated academies could also choose to stay and watch the upcoming matches, learning from the strong. There were no mandatory requirements.

However, this year's Soul Master Competition was different from previous years. All eliminated academies, regardless of students or teachers, were forcibly expelled from Spirit City.

Compared to Zhu Zhuqing's nervousness, Dai Weisi found it rather amusing. With his current strength, even the Spirit Hall team could be defeated by him alone, let alone other academies.

Looking at the uneasy Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Weisi waved his hand. Zhu Zhuqing exclaimed "Ah!" and fell into his arms. Her soft and jade-like delicate body slumped onto Dai Weisi's lap, allowing Dai Weisi's large hands to caress her slender waist.

Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face turned red, and she娇嗔 said: "You scared me, Brother Weisi, you're so bad."

"Hehe, then do you like me being bad to you?"

"Hee hee, I like it." Zhu Zhuqing stretched out a pair of jade arms and hugged Dai Weisi's arm, smiling: "I like everything about Brother Weisi, because Zhuqing is your wife."

"Good girl." Ruffling the little cat's hair, Dai Weisi smiled: "Zhuqing, you don't need to be nervous, I'm here. The final champion will definitely be ours!"

"I'm not nervous, I'm just thinking that we should conserve our strength as much as possible." Zhu Zhuqing pondered: "I think Brother Weisi, you shouldn't play in this round. Hide as our trump card. In this round of the match, my sister and I will be enough."

"Hmm… that makes sense." Dai Weisi nodded slightly. Except for the Spirit Hall team, no other academy had Soul Kings. With Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing's strength, it shouldn't be difficult to defeat them.

Might as well train the newcomers. After making up his mind, Dai Weisi looked at Bai Chenxiang and the others on the side. Just then, the draw ended, and the referee began to announce the draw results.

"Second round of the finals, first match: Plant Academy vs. Black Tiger Academy!"

"Second match: Tianshui Academy vs. Yanmo Academy!"

"Third match: Star Luo Royal Academy vs. Thunder Academy!"

"…"

"It's actually Thunder Academy!"

Dai Weisi exclaimed and looked in the direction of Thunder Academy. Yu Tianxin of Thunder Academy was a level forty-three Strength Attack System Soul Ancestor. With the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon spirit, his strength was no less than that of Feng Xiaotian.

Although he was surprised that the opponent was Thunder Academy, Dai Weisi was not flustered at all. A mere Soul Ancestor, his big wife was a Soul Emperor.

After a moment of thought, Dai Weisi decided that he would hide his strength in this match, and Zhu Zhuyun would be fully responsible for the command during the match.

The starting lineup was: Zhu Zhuyun, Zhu Zhuqing, Dong Hui, Ning Tianyu, Bai Chenxiang, Yang Zhen, and Niu Tian.

Since they were here, they had to give them a chance to play.

The first two matches ended quickly, and before the third match began, Dai Weisi encouraged: "Zhuyun, Zhuqing, good luck! Zhuyun, I'll leave the command to you. Don't embarrass Star Luo Royal Academy."

"If you lose, be prepared to not get out of bed for a week. I will definitely 'reward' you properly!"

Zhu Zhuyun blushed and glared at Dai Weisi angrily, then nodded slightly, leading Zhu Zhuqing and the others onto the Spirit Fight Stage.

"I announce: The third match of the second round of the finals officially begins! You have one minute to activate your spirits!"

"Drink!"

Yu Tianxin roared, a earth-shattering dragon roar coming from the depths of his throat, and the phantom of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon appeared behind him. The roar of the giant dragon was frightening.

"Yu Tianxin, level forty-three Strength Attack System Soul Ancestor, please advise."

At the same time as Yu Tianxin released his spirit, Zhu Zhuyun and the others also revealed their spirits. The sisters turned into two cute little cat girls, one big and one small.

However, compared to Zhu Zhuyun's appearance, what shocked Yu Tianxin and even the entire audience was that six spirit rings fell from the top of Zhu Zhuyun's head in sequence. This beautiful girl was actually a Soul Emperor!

Enjoying the surprised gazes of the people around her, Zhu Zhuyun chuckled: "Zhu Zhuyun, level sixty-two Agility Attack System Soul Emperor, please advise!"
