The next day, the audience arrived early and took their seats. Since Shrek Academy had not yet been eliminated, everyone tacitly left the front rows of the stands empty.
Losing one's life to watch the excitement was not worth it; everyone understood this point.
In the first match, the Spirit Hall Team took to the stage. With all members having reached at least level 46 Soul Elder, they crushed their opponents in both individual and team battles, easily entering the top six.
The next match was between the Royal Fight Second Team and the Star Luo Royal Academy.
Davis and the others appeared with gloomy expressions, clearly having investigated their opponents' overall situation through various means.
To be honest, even though they were elites cultivated with the full power of the Star Luo Empire, they didn't believe they could win against the Royal Fight Second Team.
Zhu Zhuyun's heart was filled with regret. The sister she had let go out of softheartedness had finally become a major threat.
The Royal Fight Second Team didn't think as much as they did; strength broke everything.
Little Cat took the lead and walked towards the Arena, her eyes coldly glancing over Davis and Zhu Zhuyun. She had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Dai Mubai, in the stands, looked at the graceful figure on the Arena, his heart filled with complexity. If his previous performance hadn't been so unbearable, he should be standing beside her, facing Davis and Zhu Zhuyun together.
But there was no regret medicine in the world. Now, in her eyes, he was just a manure machine.
Sighing, Dai Mubai nervously looked at the Arena. Although there was a significant conflict between him and Zhu Zhuqing, he still hoped his fiancée could win. Even if it made him seem somewhat dispensable, he still hated Davis more.
The first to enter the Arena for the Star Luo Royal Academy was Ying Wei, a Battle Soul Master with the Spirit of an Expanding Water Buffalo, a defensive type, clearly trying to restrain Zhu Zhuqing.
In Zhu Zhuyun's mind, it was still difficult for the Netherworld Cat to break through the defense of a defensive-type Soul Master of the same level.
Zhu Zhuqing expressionlessly looked at her opponent walking onto the stage and directly released her Spirit.
The Netherworld Cat appeared behind her, letting out a wild cat's meow. Two yellow, one purple, and two black five Spirit Rings floated up in sequence.
This made Davis and Zhu Zhuyun's pupils shrink. Although they had learned about this abandoned child's Spirit Ring configuration in the intelligence reports a few days ago, seeing it in person still brought them a great shock, and the regret in their hearts reached its peak at this moment.
Moreover, Zhu Zhuyun felt a trace of something unusual from her sister's Spirit.
Had she known this, she would have taken the risk of violating the rules and being punished by her elders to kill her.
"Zhu Zhuqing, Spirit Netherworld Cat, level 52 Soul King."
Her opponent, Ying Wei, was stunned for a moment, then swallowed and tremblingly replied:
"Ying... Ying Wei, Spirit Expanding Water Buffalo, level 44 Soul Elder."
As the referee's words to start the match fell, Little Cat's figure disappeared like a ghost on the Arena. Seeing this, Ying Wei's third and fourth purple Spirit Rings lit up simultaneously.
"Third Spirit Skill Wild Expansion, Fourth Spirit Skill Steel Skin."
The Water Buffalo's huge body instantly swelled, and the skin on its body revealed a metallic luster, obviously stacking its defense to a terrifying level.
While moving quickly on the Arena, Little Cat also observed this and generously released her External Spirit Bone, while the third and fourth Spirit Rings on her body lit up in sequence.
"Fourth Spirit Skill Netherworld Shadow Clone."
"Third Spirit Skill Nether Slash."
Little Cat split into four, and the first three figures launched Nether Slashes towards the Water Buffalo's abdomen without stopping.
After a gap appeared on its body, the main body quickly approached, relying on the sharpness of the External Spirit Bone and the increased Soul Skill power of fifty percent, a Nether Slash instantly broke through the Water Buffalo's defense.
Ying Wei screamed, clutching his abdomen as he knelt down. Zhu Zhuqing didn't seem to give him a chance to breathe, kicking him off the Arena with a powerful tiger-style shot.
"In this individual Spirit Duel, Zhu Zhuqing of the Royal Fight Second Team wins. Please send the next member of the Star Luo Royal Academy to enter the Arena."
Davis's expression was unsightly, but he didn't delay, raising his chin towards a figure beside him.
"Tang Hongning, Spirit Fierce Thunder Jackal, level 43 Battle Soul Elder."
This time, they sent an agility-based Spirit Master, who began to roam the Arena after releasing his Spirit.
Zhu Zhuqing snorted coldly, her figure disappearing again, engaging in a chase.
Although Tang Hongning's speed was decent, how could he possibly be a match for the Soul King Little Cat? He was caught within seconds and sent off the Arena with a series of attacks.
"In this individual Spirit Duel, Zhu Zhuqing of the Royal Fight Second Team wins. Please send the next member of the Star Luo Royal Academy to enter the Arena."
"In this individual Spirit Duel, Zhu Zhuqing of the Royal Fight Second Team wins. Please send the next member of the Star Luo Royal Academy to enter the Arena."
"…"
The same words were repeated four times in a short period, and Little Cat completed a one-versus-five against the Star Luo Royal Academy.
Next, it was Zhu Zhuyun's turn to step onto the stage.
"Zhuqing, I really underestimated you. But you are still too conceited. If you and Dai Mubai joined forces, I'm afraid Davis and I wouldn't have a chance."
Zhu Zhuqing raised an eyebrow, not taking her sister's words to heart at all.
"What makes you think I'm still interested in the position of Star Luo Empress?"
"What do you mean?"
"The literal meaning. You and Davis want to be Emperor and Empress, I don't care, and please don't bother my life."
Zhu Zhuyun swayed, finding it difficult to accept her sister's words for a moment. She never expected that the position she had dreamed of would be scorned by her sister.
With a complex expression, she glanced at that increasingly mature face, and the scene of the sisters getting along in the past flooded her mind. She shook her head and said,
"Zhuqing, you still don't understand the terror of the royal family. We can't control our own destiny."
Zhu Zhuqing's lips curled into a smile.
"Sister, it's you who doesn't understand the terror of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. You don't need to worry about my thoughts, just be your Empress."
"Next, we should settle the score for you sending people to scare me."
"Huh? Scare?"
"Why? The subordinates you sent to hunt me down seemed to be trying to kill me, but in reality, they showed mercy everywhere, didn't they?"
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuyun's expression became even more complicated.
"What makes you say that?"
"Isn't the best proof that I can live to come to the Heaven Dou Empire?"
Listening to her sister's words, Zhu Zhuyun showed a long-lost smile, not as hypocritical as before, just like when Zhu Zhuqing had not yet awakened her Spirit when she was a child.
"You've grown up. Sister respects your choice. I hope you have a good future."
Zhu Zhuqing didn't say anything more, but instead released her Spirit again, her meaning very clear: the reminiscing was over, and what followed would be a battle for their respective positions.
Zhu Zhuyun wasn't afraid to fight either, releasing the same Spirit as Zhu Zhuqing, only lacking a trace of dark charm compared to her younger sister.
