Day 2 of the Promotion Tournament.
The match between the Blue Tyrant Academy team and the Blazing Fire Academy team was scheduled for the fifth appearance.
Before the match even started,
Ye Qiu could already feel the intense gaze fixed on him by Huo Wu not far away,
as well as the gazes of Shui Bing'er and Yu Tianxin from the other three elemental academies.
Ye Qiu's illusion technique yesterday, although catching them off guard, had already demonstrated Ye Qiu's powerful strength. Now, they had a new understanding of Ye Qiu's martial soul.
During the battle, they absolutely couldn't watch,
but at other times, they could observe him carefully.
Ye Qiu didn't look
at Huo Wu, nor at Shui Bing'er and the others
, not only because he didn't want to appear arrogant,
but also because Meng Yiran next to him
was blushing and whispering with him,
sharing interesting stories from the past years and expressing her longing for Ye Qiu.
The girls next to him, Xiao Wu and the others, didn't even disturb Meng Yiran.
Perhaps they were embarrassed by Meng Yiran calling them "sister" this and "sister" that.
Ye Qiu chatted with Meng Yiran from time to time.
Even while chatting, Ye Qiu kept watching the matches,
especially those with decent strength.
Through observation,
he discovered that besides the Four Elements Academy in the Heaven Dou region,
there were two other academies with considerable strength:
one called Silas Academy and the other Plant Academy.
Silas Academy seemed alright;
on the surface, their strength wasn't much different from the Four Elements Academy,
both having three students above level 40.
However, Ye Qiu was somewhat puzzled by the Plant Academy team.
All their participants possessed plant-based martial souls, and some rather strange ones at that.
Since the start of the competition,
they had only had three members appear at most.
Of course, this was also related to the fact that they hadn't encountered any powerful opponents.
Although their members were all around level 30,
Ye Qiu noticed that
the Plant Academy seemed to be employing an extreme strategy,
only not based on elemental attributes, but rather like the four major single-attribute clans. Their
soul masters were all of a single type, and
their members were all control-type soul masters.
As everyone knows, in the Douluo Continent, control-type soul masters have always enjoyed the reputation of being the strongest in one-on-one combat. Even against opponents above level 40, they wouldn't be at a disadvantage. With just three Soul Master level students
in their thirties, they had already achieved two consecutive victories in the matches that had concluded. The Plant Academy had maintained a low profile; their Soul Skills weren't flashy, but they were definitely a formidable team. After all, they were all control-type , so even if they won, it would take considerable effort. Finally, time passed quickly. The next match was between Blue Tyrant Academy and Blazing Fire Academy. The first student sent out by Blazing Fire Academy was their captain, Huo Wushuang. Ye Qiu, as requested, slowly walked into the arena. Seeing Ye Qiu standing in the arena, Huo Wu gritted her teeth and stood up from her seat, her ample bosom heaving. She desperately wanted a fair and just match with Ye Qiu, but she was also afraid of being unilaterally defeated and ridiculed by him. Huo Wu's eyes held a hint of shame, but she simply wanted Ye Qiu to see that if it weren't for yesterday's illusion, she would have chosen to go first without hesitation. In the month following the conclusion of the preliminary rounds, she subjected herself to almost grueling training, and finally achieved a breakthrough. Not only did her soul power increase by one level, but she also made significant improvements in her soul skill application and various other abilities. All of this was to earn Ye Qiu's full attention.

But right now,
she didn't have the courage to go head-to-head with Ye Qiu at his peak.
Instead, she put herself in the last position to appear.
Inside the arena,
Huo Wushuang and Ye Qiu stood facing each other.
This was their second encounter, and Huo Wushuang's expression was very serious. Ye Qiu had already left a deep impression on him
last time . And yesterday's illusion technique made Huo Wushuang clearly understand that no matter what, he couldn't defeat Ye Qiu. Knowing this, Huo Wushuang felt calmer. Since the outcome was already decided, he should just do his best. As soon as he stepped onto the stage, Huo Wushuang didn't dare to meet Ye Qiu's gaze. He knew that with Ye Qiu's control over his martial soul through his eyes, he absolutely couldn't withstand it. Unlike Huo Wushuang , Ye Qiu remained calm. As the referee announced the start of the match, "Please!" Ye Qiu gestured for Huo Wushuang to leave. Although he said yesterday that he would make them leave the stage immediately, that was just talk. If he actually did that, it would create a huge grudge. He still had to give them the opportunity to perform. Almost simultaneously, both of them completed the process of releasing their Martial Souls. Ye Qiu stood calmly in place, watching Huo Wushuang. Beneath his feet were four unremarkable Soul Rings: two yellow and two purple. Meanwhile, it wasn't just Blazing Fire Academy. The academy teams from the kingdoms and duchies, those not participating in the competition, almost all focused their attention on Huo Wushuang and Ye Qiu. After all, Huo Wushuang and his sister had already demonstrated their strength yesterday , and Huo Wu had once provoked Ye Qiu. Everyone naturally understood that Ye Qiu's strength was certainly not weak. In this battle, those academy teams also wanted to carefully observe just how strong Ye Qiu truly was. On Huo Wushuang's body, scales emerged from beneath his skin, and as the blazing flames rose and fell, Huo Wushuang's entire body was covered in a dark red. A short horn, about three inches long, protruded from his head— a one-horned firestorm dragon ! Seeing that Huo Wushuang had released his Martial Soul, Ye Qiu's Sharingan remained the standard three-tomoe Sharingan. The release of flames was normal , but the subsequent retraction was noticeably different from the previous battle. Had unnecessary energy expenditure been eliminated to enhance attack power and cruising ability? Huo Wushuang didn't choose to attack first , opting instead for a steady, methodical approach, waiting for the right moment to react. After all, he couldn't look Ye Qiu directly in the eye. He could only focus on Ye Qiu's body movements. Ye Qiu didn't seem to care. With a swift movement, he floated away . While Ye Qiu's movements didn't appear particularly fast, his illusory steps, leaving afterimages, covered ten meters in the blink of an eye, rapidly closing the distance to Huo Wushuang. An eye-type martial soul was actually an offensive weapon? Aside from the teams from the Heaven Dou region, everyone was filled with disbelief. Huo Wushuang's first spirit ring instantly lit up. The dark red scales on his body suddenly became crystalline, like a layer of armor covering his body, greatly increasing his defense! Huo Wushuang didn't move, his eyes fixed intently on Ye Qiu, who was rapidly approaching. Wishing everyone a pleasant life! (End of Chapter)
