Chapter 91: Breakthrough, Rank Ninety-Eight!
The finals of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament were in full swing.
On the first day, the audience witnessed "Tang Yin," a Soul King powerhouse with twin martial souls!
What puzzled people was that the contestant "Tang Yin" seemed to have many worries on his mind and did not appear particularly enthusiastic about the competition's outcome.
On the second day, the audience witnessed four Soul King powerhouses.
Yes, four of them.
Among them, three were from Spirit Hall Academy, and one was from Heaven Dou Academy Team One.
With the help of the Land Dragon Golden Melon, Dugu Yan not only resolved the poison within her martial soul and evolved it, but her soul power level also increased dramatically.
"The geniuses of this generation are as numerous as fish crossing a river!"
"There are already five Soul King powerhouses. I wonder if there are any more hidden Soul Kings…"
"Sky Water Academy took first place in both the preliminary and promotion rounds on the Heaven Dou City side. They probably also have a Soul King-level contestant…"
Hearing such remarks, Hu Liena and the other two could only smile bitterly.
More than just Soul Kings—they even suspected that the Sky Water Team had a Soul Saint–level participant!
Just Zhu Zhuqing alone, a Soul Emperor, was already enough to give them a headache…
The three of them reported yesterday's events to Bibi Dong.
After hearing this, Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes in surprise.
Hadn't Salas reported such an important matter?
Had he only reported the twin martial soul user Tang Yin?
There was clearly something wrong with Salas's thinking!
Salas: "…"
What do you mean his thinking was wrong? Did he not want to report it?
He had been threatened by Qian Renxue!
"Wang Li, hmm? An interesting little fellow."
Bibi Dong murmured but said nothing more.
No wonder the Rakshasa God would "target" this Wang Li; it turns out he's a very special, favored son of heaven!
In the second round of matches, the Sky Water Team had a bye and did not compete.
In the first round, Blazing Fire Academy surrendered, so the Sky Water Team still did not take the stage.
In the third round, just after the Sky Water Team finished drawing lots, their opponent directly surrendered…
Without fighting a single match, the Sky Water Team entered the top three.
Royal Fighting Team One narrowly lost to the Spirit Hall Team. Unlike in the original timeline, their defeat was not as miserable.
The Star Luo Royal Team narrowly lost to the Shrek Team. In that match, Tang San went all out to establish Dai Mubai's authority, suppressing the Hell White Tiger by himself—truly imposing.
"Brother-in-law, you've got to avenge us!"
When Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun were leaving, they found Wang Li and said with a smile.
Zhu Zhuqing had already separated from the Zhu family. Logically speaking, she and Zhu Zhuyun were no longer sisters.
But blood was thicker than water, and the bond between them remained deep.
Zhu Zhuqing also knew Zhu Zhuyun never truly wanted to kill her…
"I've already avenged you. Their teeth were knocked out earlier."
Wang Li waved his hand and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun looked at each other and burst out laughing.
They had been wondering why so few members of the Shrek Team still had all their teeth intact.
Only the two support-type soul masters looked relatively normal.
"Did this match affect you?"
Dai Weisi paused, then quickly shook his head.
"Dai Mubai didn't defeat me head-on, nor did he defeat both me and Zhuyun. The match had some impact on us, but not much."
In the original timeline, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing defeated Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun directly, which dealt them a heavy blow.
But things were different now; throughout the match, "Tang Yin" had been the one carrying the fight.
Moreover, Dai Mubai had lost an arm, and the Zhu family's daughter had "run away"…
From that moment on, Dai Mubai was destined to lose any chance at the throne.
After Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun left, the girls all looked at Zhu Zhuqing differently.
Good grief, Zhu Zhuqing was actually the younger sister of the Star Luo Crown Prince's consort!
Before long, Dai Weisi would become the crown prince.
And she would be the younger sister of the crown princess…
The future queen's younger sister…
"Zhuqing, I didn't expect you to have such an identity."
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing shook her head.
"I've already severed ties with the Zhu family. I'm no longer a daughter of the Zhu family, nor Zhu Zhuyun's sister."
"At least, not on the surface, and I can't be.."
Both the Zhu family and the royal family had reputations to maintain.
On the surface, Zhu Zhuqing had left the Zhu family, so naturally, there was no relationship anymore.
As for their private relationship, that didn't really matter…
"???"
The Sky Water girls looked confused, turning toward Zhu Zhuqing in puzzlement.
They didn't understand the situation between the Zhu family and the Dai family, assuming it was simply an internal royal conflict…
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, three days went by.
The venue for determining the top three was no longer the Spirit City Grand Soul Arena, but outside the Pope's Hall!
For ordinary soul masters, this would be the highest honor imaginable.
But for Wang Li and the others, it was nothing special.
Wang Li and his group arrived at the plaza outside the Pope's Hall right on time.
"Sign in!"
During this period, every team they encountered had surrendered, leaving Wang Li with nothing to do.
He signed in at different places every day—he had even secretly gone to the Douluo Hall once!
Whether others had noticed him or not, he didn't know.
But Qian Daoliu had met him!
From the way Qian Daoliu looked at him, Wang Li could only sense satisfaction—pure satisfaction.
That burning gaze sent chills down Wang Li's spine, and he quickly ran away!
[The host has signed in at the Pope's Hall plaza…]
[Reward obtained: All soul ring ages increased by fifty thousand years.]
[Reward obtained: Soul power level increased by one.]
Wang Li looked at the rewards and froze.
Since obtaining the sign-in system, he had received many rewards—especially increases to soul ring age.
As for soul power levels, this was only the second time he had received such a reward.
The first time, he advanced from Rank 96 to Rank 97.
This second time, he jumped directly from Rank 97 to Rank 98!
Even his lowest-level soul ring had now exceeded one hundred thousand years!
As expected of the legendary sign-in system, it's much more direct than the simulator.
Although… The simulator rewarding him with a sign-in system was still something he didn't know how to comment on.
Bibi Dong's entrance was no different from the original timeline.
Tang San and the others still did not bow and were singled out for "roll call."
As for Wang Li and his group, they also didn't bow, yet surprisingly, no one looked for trouble.
Tang San felt rather helpless seeing this.
Wang Li was a Titled Douluo, so he naturally didn't need to bow to the Pope.
But they were not…
After some back-and-forth, the matter was ultimately dropped.
The morning's competition rules were as follows: the three teams would draw lots and rotate contestants. Only two people would be on the field at a time. When one contestant lost, the next contestant from the next team would enter.
Once two teams each lost seven matches, the winner would advance directly to the championship match.
The loser would enter the revival round. The team that won the revival round would advance to the championship match.
The loser would take third place.
Shrek Academy had long since given up on the championship, so they directly surrendered and entered the losers' bracket.
Seeing Shrek Academy surrender, Spirit Hall Academy also chose to surrender.
