Chapter 130: The Promotion Tournament Ends, Na'er Breaks Through to Level 50!
Soon, more than ten days passed.
The promotion tournament concluded, and in the remaining matches, Ye Wen barely participated. However, there was no need for him to appear, as Beast Academy's strength was enough to crush every opponent and secure victory.
Beast Academy achieved a 14-game winning streak, securing first place in the promotion tournament.
Tianshui Academy ranked second.
Divine Wind took third.
Thunder came in fourth.
Shrek Academy placed fifth, with the top five teams still all from the Tiandou region. The strength of the teams from other regions was too weak, merely there to round out the competition.
With the promotion tournament over, the next stage was the finals.
The finals would take place at the headquarters of the Spirit Hall, in Spirit City, inside the Pope's Palace.
Three days later, Prince Xue Qinghe would personally lead five hundred Royal Knights to participate in the competition at the Pope's Palace.
After nearly three months of prequalifiers and the promotion tournament, during these three days of waiting, Na'er's soul power finally broke through to level 50! She was the first to break through to the Soul King realm in Ye Wen's soul beast team, aside from him.
At this moment, everyone gathered around Na'er, watching her condense her fifth soul ring.
"Do you think Na'er's fifth soul ring will be at the 100,000-year level, just like the boss?" Evil Tiger asked eagerly.
The Snow Empress pondered, "Na'er's first four rings are the same age as Ye Wen's, so it's highly probable that her fifth soul ring will also reach the 100,000-year level."
"Yeah, it's very likely."
Everyone nodded in agreement, feeling that Snow Empress's theory was quite reasonable.
Soon, Na'er's body had gathered her soul ring, transitioning from the ten-year white, to the hundred-year yellow, then the thousand-year purple, and finally the ten-thousand-year black.
Without surprise, it reached the black-and-red phase, signaling that Na'er's fifth soul ring was about to reach the 100,000-year level!
"Looks like it's going to happen!"
"Na'er is probably at the 100,000-year level!!"
Everyone believed Na'er would make it, and Ye Wen had the same thought.
But just as the black seemed to turn red, Na'er stopped, and the soul ring successfully condensed.
However, for everyone, this was considered a failure.
"Na'er didn't reach the 100,000-year level?!"
"How... how could this happen?"
"Yeah! What a shame, it felt like she was so close to the 100,000-year mark."
"Is it because I absorbed two more immortal herbs that can modify my constitution? Could that be the reason?" Ye Wen thought it over, but it seemed that this was the only possible explanation.
He walked up to Na'er and asked, "Na'er, how many years is your fifth soul ring?"
"99,900 years," Na'er sighed.
"What!! Only 100 years away from 100,000 years!"
"Sigh, it's such a pity. It was just that last little bit," Snow Empress, Xiao Bai, and the others all lamented for Na'er.
Although Na'er felt disappointed, her mindset remained positive. She smiled foolishly and began to comfort everyone, "Oh, don't worry, sisters, it's fine~"
"99,000 years is still something I'm happy with. And even though I was only 100 years away, I feel like there's a huge difference between 99,900 years and 100,000 years."
"That makes sense."
Ye Wen nodded, "Na'er is right. Breaking through to the 100,000-year level is extremely difficult for soul beasts. For a soul ring to go from ten thousand years to 100,000 years is also the same reason. Let's not even talk about the 100 years difference."
"Even with a 99,999-year soul ring, transforming it into a 100,000-year ring may still have a significant gap."
"Yeah~ Ye Wen Brother is right." Na'er smiled sweetly.
Seeing this, everyone stopped dwelling on the issue and asked about Na'er's fifth soul skill, "Alright, Na'er, so what's your fifth soul skill?"
Na'er explained with a smile, "My fifth soul skill is called Silver Dragon's Roar. It summons a giant silver dragon that attaches to me, and with my Silver Dragon Spear, it attacks the enemy. It's a powerful attack-type soul skill!"
"Another attack-type soul skill! Na'er's fourth soul skill was already very terrifying, so this fifth one must be even more outrageous," Xiao Bai exclaimed with excitement.
Na'er's martial soul was the Silver Dragon Spear, a super divine weapon. The soul skills that came with this martial soul were incredibly powerful. It could be said that Na'er was currently the strongest attacker in the team, aside from Ye Wen.
After absorbing her fifth soul ring, Na'er's soul power skyrocketed by 3 levels, reaching level 53, making her the second Soul King in the team.
With this, the already nearly invincible Beast Academy had now gained Na'er, a Soul King, and Spirit Hall's team was about to be thoroughly crushed.
"Alright, in three days, we'll be going to Spirit City for the finals," Ye Wen said, pausing for a moment before getting to the important matter. "Spirit City is the headquarters of Spirit Hall, where the Pope's Palace is located."
"As you all know, the Pope's Palace is the most powerful soul master force in this continent. Their soul master power spreads throughout the land, and within their headquarters, the Pope's Palace, there are at least twenty Title Douluo-level experts."
"Of course, with the strength and power we currently possess, we aren't afraid of Spirit Hall. But the goal of our participation in the Soul Master Tournament is to obtain the three soul bones for the championship, so until the tournament ends, we must avoid exposing our soul beast identities to them."
"Once the tournament ends, or once we have the soul bones, it won't matter. But while we are in Spirit City, everyone must be cautious. We must be careful with our actions, as there are likely ears everywhere. Spirit Hall is sure to pay close attention to our team's strength."
"Understood," everyone nodded.
The Snow Empress pondered for a moment before speaking up, "But what if we expose ourselves prematurely?"
"Ye Wen, don't forget, when we left the Extreme North, we encountered people from Spirit Hall. They already knew that some 100,000-year soul beasts had transformed and were looking for us on the continent."
"So, Ice Empress, Ice Bear King, and A Tai's martial souls are likely to be suspected by Spirit Hall."
"You're right, their martial souls will definitely raise suspicion. There's at least a 50% chance we will be exposed, but it will only be suspicion and doubt. They don't have concrete evidence to prove that we're soul beasts, so our true identities won't be easily uncovered."
"Spirit Hall won't act rashly unless they are sure. After all, this world is not just Spirit Hall's. Even if they want to kill or destroy someone, they still need a valid reason."
