Chapter 703: The final round of the promotion game, preparations for the next step

After the competition, Emperor Xue Ye gave an inspiring and motivational speech to all the contestants.

However, among the contestants of Chihuo Academy, only Quan Yi and Huo Wu could hear it; the other members, including Huo Wushuang, were directly trapped in the deep water due to heavy losses.

After a long and meaningless speech, Emperor Xue Ye announced that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe would continue to participate in the judging of the finals as an envoy of the Tiandou Empire.

The fifteen teams representing Tiandou will go to Wuhun City, the venue of the finals, under the escort of five hundred Royal Knights.

The above information is predictable to some extent, but more important than this is the information about time.

The departure time is scheduled for three days later. After a brief three-day adjustment, the team will set out for Wuhun City.

Considering that the journey to Wuhun City would take more than twenty days, this somewhat hasty arrangement was understandable.

In the finals, there will be 33 teams competing in a knockout round. The whole process will not be as long as the promotion round, and the time to decide the champion will even be faster than the promotion round.

As the organizer of the finals, Spirit Hall specially opened up a place as the venue for the finals when the qualifying rounds started.

More importantly, the Spirit Hall also specifically announced their decree that during the competition, non-spirit masters are not allowed to enter to watch the game.

This means that unless you are a soul master, even a noble cannot watch the finals.

Among all the information, only this one caught Quan Yi's attention and made him think.

That night, Quan Yi discussed the matter with Su Linger.

"Mother, the plan has changed. We may not be able to allow everyone to go to Wuhun City for the finals this time."

In the military camp reserved for women like Huo Wu, Quan Yi and his mother were conducting secret operations alone, and even Quan Wei was led away by Huo Wu.

Su Linger looked at Quan Yi's serious expression and her heart was also moved.

She said with a hint of worry: "It seems that the situation is worse than I expected. Is it dangerous?"

Su Linger didn't know as much as Quan Yi, but based on the information she knew, she had roughly guessed something.

Moreover, she trusted Quan Yi 100%, so she did not choose to ask further questions.

When Quan Yi saw Su Ling'er's worried expression, a gentle and calm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and he said, "Mother, don't worry, there will be no danger."

When saying this, Su Linger saw a heart-pounding absolute will in the depths of Quan Yi's calm eyes.

This sentence was definitely not a gentle lie told by Quan Yi to comfort her.

His eyes told her that Quan Yi had unshakable confidence, which gave her a strong sense of security.

Su Linger smiled with relief, she reached out and stroked Quan Yi's cheek, and said with emotion: "When did our Xiao Yi become so reliable?

I feel very unfulfilled as a mother."

Feeling the warmth in Su Linger's palm, Quan Yi smiled easily.

"How could that be? When I was little, my mother worried enough about me. Now that I've grown up, it's time for you to relax a little.

Besides, mother still has the little salamander to worry about."

Su Linger waved her hands, smiled and sighed, "Little Salamander is so well behaved, there's no need for me to worry too much.

However, if she knew that she couldn't go to Wuhun City to watch the finals, she would definitely be very sad.

Have you figured out how to comfort her?"

Since the staff needs to be reduced, Quan Wei, a child who has not even awakened his martial soul, must be taken away.

But this news was like a bolt from the blue to the long-awaited Quan Niu.

"what?"

After being reminded, Quan Yi's calm expression instantly twisted into pain.

His heart might break when he thought of Quan Wei looking at him with those tearful eyes.

"It's over, it's over, mother, can you help me calm Xiao Niu down? I'll apologize to her when I come back from Wuhun City."

Su Linger saw Quan Yi looking at her with pleading eyes, which was in stark contrast to his previous expression, and she felt amused inside.

"I don't care about that, didn't you just tell me not to bother me?

It's not manly to regret now."

Su Linger left the helpless Quan Yi behind, walked out of the military camp, and went to find Quan Niu.

Outside the military camp, most of the academy students have begun to leave the training grounds.

Blazing Academy was also preparing to leave, but they had a lot of injured people, so it took some time to move the people.

Fortunately, the Royal Knights provided them with convenience and borrowed a carriage to facilitate their evacuation.

This behavior may also be an order from Emperor Xue Ye, but after witnessing the strength and potential of the Blazing Academy, the Knights' routine actions are mixed with respect for them.

The sun began to set, dyeing the western sky red.

Before night fell, the Blazing Academy also walked out of the slightly surprised army formation and came to the vast grassland.

The carriages waiting outside the military formation were ready.

Quan Yi and Huo Wu stood at the end of the team, looking back at the sunset in the west.

Compared to the relaxed expressions of other college staff, their expressions were a little more solemn.

“Everyone has worked so hard for this team, and now it’s our turn.

Honey, are you ready?"

Izumi said this in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

After Huo Wu heard this, she reached out and held Quan Yi's hand tightly, and replied affirmatively: "As long as we are together, nothing will be a problem."

The night wind blew across the grass, lifting the ends of Huo Wu's hair. Quan turned his head and saw Huo Wu's beautiful smile reflected in the dusk, and his heart suddenly beat.

Looking at the woman in front of him, he felt that as long as she was there, nothing in the world could scare him.

An indescribable sense of security flowed through his body.

"Hey, Xiaoyi, Xiaowu, we should go."

Not far away, Huo Wuxie interrupted this harmonious scene and called the two to get in the car.

The two smiled at each other and got into the carriage hand in hand.

On the way back, Quan Yi had to announce to Quan Wei that he could not go to Wuhun City.

Of course, in order to prevent his eldest brother's majestic image from being damaged in Quan Wei's heart, Quan Yi attributed all the responsibility to the Spirit Hall.

In fact, the decree of the Spirit Hall did give Quan Yi an excellent excuse.

However, this did not alleviate the sadness in Quan Wei's heart. Although she did not say anything, some tears inevitably accumulated under her bright eyes.

This forced Quan Yi to make many promises to Quan Niu in exchange for her happiness.

Finally, after signing many unequal treaties, Quan Yi finally made Quan Wei laugh before rushing back to Tiandou City.

However, every time this happened, the woman who had been holding his hand until just now would decisively let go of her arm, sit aside, and start talking to Su Linger.

'So, promises always change?'

Quan Yi said resentfully in his heart.
