After Huo Wushuang conceded defeat,
the referee announced the result cleanly.
Huo Wu had already run over,
grabbed Huo Wushuang's arm, and asked with concern,
"Brother, how are you?"
"Sister, I'm fine. I accept the defeat wholeheartedly."
Huo Wushuang shook his head, the bloody mess on his back making his smile somewhat stiff.
Ye Qiu put away his martial spirit, spread his hands, and comforted him,
"Don't worry, I'll have Lingling heal him. It won't interfere with your match tomorrow."
"Ye Qiu!" Huo Wu
suddenly raised her head.
Her eyes seemed to shoot out flames, fiercely burning Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu met her gaze.
He didn't owe Huo Wu anything, and innocently shrugged.
Huo Wu gritted her teeth, somewhat lacking confidence, her domineering voice somewhat soft.
"You just wait,"
she pointed at Ye Qiu,
and then left the competition venue with Huo Wushuang.
Ye Qiu gestured to Xiao Lan and the others to treat Huo Wushuang.
The first match ended just like that.
The scene wasn't as lively as the preliminaries, and there was no applause or wild cheers.
Yet, Ye Qiu's performance still captivated the entire audience.
Ning Fengzhi in the VIP seats couldn't help but nod; avoiding offending anyone was the best approach. It was
just a simple match.
Ning Fengzhi's peripheral vision drifted to the Platinum Bishop Salas beside him,
a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Salas's expression was very calm, showing no emotional fluctuation due to Ye Qiu's victory.
He seemed to be watching just an ordinary match.
Salas's lack of drama
pleased Ning Fengzhi even more.
The following matches were even simpler for Ye Qiu.
He remained composed throughout.
Blazing Fire Academy sent out five team members in succession.
Among them, the twin brothers Huo Yun and Huo Yu had even broken through from level 39 to level 40.
This meant
Blazing Fire Academy now had four Soul Masters.
But it still wasn't enough; no one could disrupt Ye Qiu's rhythm.
Six players entered the arena.
Even so, nothing could stop Ye Qiu's winning streak.
His soul power remained abundant, and there wasn't a trace of fatigue on his face.
Under these circumstances,
Huo Wu, the last member of the Blazing Fire Academy team and its vice-captain,
walked heavily onto the competition field.
A six-game winning streak
was no longer unusual;
after all, Xiao Wu had just pulled off a seven-game winning streak yesterday.
But the situation was different now.
Blazing Fire Academy was a recognized veteran powerhouse, and judging from the current situation,
they might very well be defeated by Ye Qiu single-handedly.
This was enough to prove Ye Qiu's terrifying strength; he might already be a level 49
or even 50 Soul Master!
Watching Huo Wu step onto the stage with a composed expression, Ye Qiu stood quietly in place.
After the previous six matches,
his energy expenditure was actually not much, less than a third.
This was because he had barely used any soul skills.
Except for Divine Might!
He hadn't even used any soul bone skills.
The spectators, whether warriors of the Royal Knights or soul masters from other academies,
were now certain of one thing:
Ye Qiu could truly defeat Blazing Fire Academy single-handedly and
achieve a seven-game winning streak!
Gazing at Ye Qiu, Huo Wu's heavy expression eased slightly.
She gradually calmed down.
Sharing the same mindset as Huo Wushuang, since defeat was inevitable, she would give it her all!
She would make everyone remember her, and Ye Qiu remember her!
Even so, as the first academy among the Four Elements Academies to be defeated by a single opponent who swept seven others,
Huo Wu still felt deeply distressed.
But she forced herself to remain calm.
She was not yet twenty years old, the youngest genius in the history of Blazing Fire Academy.

Her arduous training over this period
had advanced her soul power by another level, reaching level forty-four.
She believed
she was already quite capable, it was just that the guy in front of her was too much of a jerk, too disrespectful!
Ye Qiu quietly watched Huo Wu.
They were currently thirty meters apart.
But with Ye Qiu's eyesight, he could still clearly see Huo Wu's state.
He was surprised to find that
Huo Wu's aura seemed to have undergone a strange change.
He and Huo Wu hadn't interacted much.
Every time he saw her, every time he met her,
the aura emanating from her seemed to be filled with fiery intensity.
In some ways,
Ye Qiu felt her personality might be somewhat similar to Liu Erlong's.
But now, the Huo Wu before him
gave Ye Qiu a different feeling.
Exceptionally calm, without joy or sorrow.
He just didn't know if she could remain so composed when the fight broke out.
Huo Wu didn't waste any words.
Her soul power surged within her
, and her already slender body, bathed in a faint red glow on her skin, appeared even more beautiful.
Like a raging fire, capable of melting the hearts of any man.
Huo Wu swayed, and a faint orange-red shadow gradually appeared behind her delicate body,
exactly like her own.
The blurry fire shadow was full of an illusory feeling.
This was her martial soul,
Fire Shadow.
A fire-attribute shadow.
An extremely special martial soul that could maximize the power of the fire element.
In today's promotion match,
Blazing Fire Academy clearly had no chance of winning.
However, Huo Wu was determined to fight to the death.
Burn everything that could burn!
Even in defeat, she would be glorious!
Soon the match began.
Ye Qiu quietly activated his martial soul and stayed in place.
He pondered what kind of attack Huo Wu would use. At the same time the referee announced the start,
Huo Wu's body movements exposed in her Sharingan
had already given the answer.
"Will she just run over?"
Ye Qiu murmured.
Sure enough, as soon as the referee finished speaking,
Huo Wu's long and powerful legs moved rapidly.
She rushed straight towards Ye Qiu.
Huo Wu's speed could not compare with that of an agility-type soul master.
Even after reaching level forty, a Soul Master's body, enhanced by the attributes granted by their Soul Rings and their own Soul Power, far surpasses that of ordinary people.
Her full-force charge was incredibly fast.
The distance between them closed rapidly.
But this speed was useless against Ye Qiu's Sharingan.
Ice spikes appeared in his hand
and he hurled them at Huo Wu.
Everyone was already used to Ye Qiu's countless self-created Soul Skills.
The target of the ice spikes
was Huo Wu's slender yet powerful waist.
This was Ye Qiu's probing attack.
Ye Qiu wanted to see what tricks Huo Wu had prepared to counter him.
She had actually brought Feng Xiaotian
to him, challenging him to another duel.
Facing Ye Qiu's attack,
Huo Wu had no choice but to dodge, because with the aid of her Sharingan,
Ye Qiu had mastered throwing techniques to their fullest extent. Huo Wu
's dodging method was simple and brutal, her speed even greater.
She dodged the ice spikes first.
The thirty-meter distance between them had shrunk to ten meters in the blink of an eye.
Huo Wu's eyes narrowed slightly, then suddenly lit up.
As her bright eyes shone, her third spirit ring began to glow.
