was stunned.
Looking at Ye Qiu, who was staring at her with a serious expression, her face suddenly flushed crimson.
Her eyes darted away, and she stammered,
yet couldn't help but obey.
"I...I understand."
Ye Qiu frowned, reminding her again,
"I'm not joking! If he uses underhanded tactics, it might not be a problem in the short term, but it will ruin your future!"
"I...I already said I understand."
Huo Wu's face was flushed, her neck stiff, and she even stomped her foot.
"Uh, cough cough, it's good that you know."
Ye Qiu finally noticed Huo Wu's strange behavior and coughed twice.
Then he turned and left.
"Good luck to you all."
Watching Ye Qiu's departing figure, Huo Wu's face remained flushed.
Being forced into such a demand for the first time
felt very strange.
But since it was Ye Qiu who was ordering and demanding her, she didn't feel anything was wrong.
Instead, she unconsciously wanted to obey.
Coming back to her
senses and facing Shui Bing'er and the others' gazes, her ears almost bled.
"Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, it seems we need to change our tactics a bit."
Feng Xiaotian sighed and rubbed his forehead.
He hoped he could handle it.
...
Unbeknownst to them,
the match was about to begin.
Since the start of the tournament, the Blue Tyrant Academy team hadn't yet played.
When Ye Qiu appeared on the stage with Xiao Lan, Zhu Zhuqing, Jiang Zhu, Ning Rongrong, Bai Chenxiang, and Xiao Wu,
the remaining Soul Master teams from the Heaven Dou Empire all froze for a moment.
Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er stood together,
also very curious about Ye Qiu's teamwork.
Led by Ye Qiu,
the Blue Tyrant Academy team members lined up,
standing quietly on the stage.
Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu stood beside Ye Qiu, everyone silently watching ahead.
On the other side of the stage,
another group of seven slowly walked onto the platform.
Ye Qiu remembered Zhu Zhuyun telling him about Davis's various abnormalities.
When Ye Qiu's gaze fell on the person at the very front, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes!
Davis was stronger than he had imagined!
Long, golden hair cascaded down his back, a lazy expression on his face, and a dark, brooding light flickered in his eyes.
His appearance bore at least a 70% resemblance to Dai Mubai, though he was several sizes taller.
Though casual, his smile still carried a hint of a superior's aura. He exuded
an eerie, sinister aura!
Ye Qiu could even sense a pressure and a feeling of disgust emanating from him
, a sense of rejection from Wuhun City!
Davis seemed completely out of place in Wuhun City.
Behind Davis
followed a tall, slender girl, almost as tall as him, with an extremely voluptuous figure and alabaster-white skin, also wearing a smile.
However, she lacked Zhu Zhuqing's coldness.
She appeared very gentle
, and in this gentleness, her beauty was more easily recognized.
Upon seeing Ye Qiu and Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Zhuyun's smile deepened,
though she dared not show it too obviously.
Xiao Wu and the other girls recognized her immediately, without Zhu Zhuqing needing much introduction.
That beautiful woman was Zhu Zhuqing's older sister
—truly gifted!
Ning Rongrong couldn't help but grind her teeth.
Why didn't she have this talent?
But thinking about her small frame with two large coconuts hanging from it, she felt rather odd. She
'd probably even have trouble walking.
The incongruous
Davis's gaze swept over Ye Qiu, looking at the team
with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Tsk tsk. I didn't expect to see such an interesting team in this boring Soul Master Competition. Their strength is quite impressive!"
Jiang Zhu and Bai Chenxiang frowned immediately.
They felt uncomfortable under Davis's somewhat sinister gaze.
"Your strength is also quite impressive!"
Ye Qiu's eyes flashed with a hint of purple light as he stared straight at Davis.
"Oh?"
Davis looked at Ye Qiu, his smile widening.
"Interesting, very interesting! I can actually feel a slight threat from a mere Soul Master like you. You're quite something!"
Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but frown.
She had seen Davis before. He
felt completely different now, as if he had become a different person.
Davis's gaze fell on Zhu Zhuqing.
His eyes held a hint of mockery as he exchanged a glance with the girl beside him.
"Zhu Yun, if I remember correctly, your sister shouldn't be even fifteen yet, right? To break through to Soul King at such a young age, such talent is truly astounding. Even you only broke through to level fifty in the last few days!"
"Perhaps it's just luck."
Zhu Zhu Yun's voice was different from Zhu Zhu Qing's, lacking Zhu Zhu Qing's coldness. Instead,
it possessed an inner allure, a soft and charming voice that easily captivated listeners.
"Whether it's luck or not, you'll soon find out, Sister!"
Zhu Zhu Qing's voice was cold and clear, showing no intention of being polite.
Zhu Zhu Yun's lips twitched slightly.
She glanced at Ye Qiu with a hint of resentment.
"What about Xiao Lan? What about Xiao Lan? She's even younger than Sister Zhu Qing."
Xiao Lan suddenly raised her hand.
"Haha."
Davis suddenly burst into laughter.
As if bored and deliberately passing the time, he carefully examined Xiao Lan.
He couldn't help but frown.
"Little sister, it was truly my fault for ignoring you earlier. I never expected you to be the one who surprised me the most!"
"Really?"
Xiao Lan just thought it was all praise.
Davis nodded silently, and
the seriousness in his eyes lessened considerably as he looked at Xiao Lan's innocent expression.
So what if she possessed divine power superior to his?
She was just a fool.
He could easily solve her with a little effort!
Neither side on the stage deliberately suppressed their voices.
The soul masters below the stage had much better hearing than ordinary people.
When they heard Davis say that Zhu Zhuqing had already broken through to the Soul King level before she was even fifteen years old,
even the most self-assured soul masters
couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.
Especially those who had witnessed Zhu Zhuqing's power before.
Their eyes were filled with disbelief.
Huo Wu was completely stunned.
If she had imagined that she could fight Lan Ba Academy to a standstill after joining forces with Shenfeng Academy,
then now she was utterly hopeless.
More than four years younger than her, yet their strength was in no way inferior.
Were these people even human?
Thinking of this
, another question came to her mind: she had never known Ye Qiu's exact age.
Could he also be that young?
The referee arrived at the center of the two teams.
"Prepare for the match. You may release your Martial Souls."
"The rules remain the same: the loser will be eliminated, and the winner will advance to the top six."
"Blue Tyrant Advanced Soul Master Academy Team vs. Star Luo Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy. Ready!"
