Below the arena, the Shrek team regarded the Seven Treasure Team as their greatest opponent.
Tang San and the others carefully watched Feng Xiaotian's every move, trying to determine his true strength so they could make targeted arrangements.
Yu Tianheng said worriedly, "Tang San, even if Mubai and I work together to eliminate Feng Xiaotian, don't forget that the Seven Treasure Team still has mid- and high-level Spirit Ancestors among its other members. Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and the others probably aren't their opponents."
After a month of cultivation, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu had both successfully broken through to the Spirit Ancestor level, but they were still low-level Spirit Ancestors. As for Tai Long and Tai Ra, they were still only Level 39 Spirit Elders.
Tang San said solemnly, "Everyone, don't worry. I'll arrange the order of our fighters properly. Even if we lose, we'll only lose by one point."
"Our greatest trump card is in the team battle. This Promotion Tournament is our chance to announce our rise to the world."
"When we reach the finals, we'll defeat the Seven Treasure Team!"
Dai Mubai laughed and agreed, "Tianheng, San is right. What is there to worry about?"
"Don't forget the trump card Grandmaster prepared for us!"
Yu Tianheng still felt that something was wrong.
The Seven Treasure Team had achieved a perfect record in the qualifiers and broken the tournament record.
Now, in the Promotion Tournament, they had two Spirit Kings, and their momentum was already overwhelming. It would be wiser to avoid confronting them directly.
Yu Tianheng couldn't help worrying. Without Yu Xiaogang, if Shrek Academy suffered a crushing defeat, would they be able to recover from it?
The match continued.
The second fighter sent out by Spirit Beast Academy was their captain, a Level 43 Spirit Ancestor.
A Spirit Ancestor was far stronger than a Spirit Elder. Although he was facing a Spirit King, he wouldn't be completely helpless.
Feng Xiaotian didn't underestimate his opponent. He didn't even rush to attack.
As soon as the match began, the captain of Spirit Beast Academy activated a defensive Spirit Skill, preparing to withstand Feng Xiaotian's attack.
Below the arena, the teacher leading Spirit Beast Academy rubbed his forehead when he saw the situation.
The match had only just begun, and Feng Xiaotian hadn't even moved, yet their captain had already activated a defensive Spirit Skill. It was completely unnecessary.
Feng Xiaotian wasn't an idiot. Seeing his opponent curl up like a turtle, why would he waste Spirit Power attacking him?
If not for the tournament rules, the team leader would have wanted to curse at his own captain.
On the arena, the captain of Spirit Beast Academy noticed that Feng Xiaotian still wasn't attacking and couldn't help looking up.
He saw Feng Xiaotian beckoning him over with a smile.
"What?!"
The captain of Spirit Beast Academy was shocked.
Hearing the laughter and mockery coming from below the arena, his emotions fluctuated greatly, and he could no longer remain calm.
"Damn it! How dare you toy with me! Fourth Spirit Skill..."
He canceled his defensive state and immediately activated his fourth Spirit Skill.
Did he really think Feng Xiaotian was just standing there for decoration?
During the transition between the two Spirit Skills, he had no defensive measures at all.
Feng Xiaotian's figure flashed, and he quickly appeared behind him.
With a sudden burst of strength from both legs, Feng Xiaotian kicked him directly out of the arena.
The arena was by no means small. The fact that Feng Xiaotian could kick him out with a single blow showed just how powerful that kick had been.
The captain of Spirit Beast Academy fell from the arena and fainted on the spot, but he wasn't in any danger and hadn't died, so it wasn't considered a foul.
The leader of Spirit Beast Academy looked terrible, but there was nothing he could do. He sent two more students into the arena.
The result, however, was that Feng Xiaotian easily eliminated both of them without consuming much stamina or Spirit Power.
If they sent another fighter, Feng Xiaotian would certainly be capable of defeating five opponents in succession, and he would have a good chance of defeating six.
If things really reached that point, Spirit Beast Academy would lose all face.
Therefore, the team leader simply chose to concede, bringing the one-sided match to an end.
"To defeat four opponents in succession so easily Is this the strength of a Spirit King?"
In previous Spirit Master Tournaments, only the Spirit Hall Academy team had Spirit King-level fighters, and they had always been directly qualified for the finals. They had never appeared on the Promotion Tournament stage.
Now that the other teams had witnessed the dominance of a Spirit King in the Promotion Tournament, they understood that the Seven Treasure Team was an opponent they couldn't defeat.
However, some people began wondering whether this year's tournament could produce a seven-in-a-row victory and break the record set by the Star Luo division.
"If this match had continued, the Seven Treasure Team really might have defeated six opponents in succession, or even seven!"
"Seven in a row is unlikely. As their stamina and Spirit Power decline, a Spirit Master's strength will also drop significantly. Feng Xiaotian may be a Spirit King, but by the seventh match, he might not even be able to defeat a fully rested Spirit Elder."
"What's the point of discussing it? The match is already over. For all we know, Feng Xiaotian was barely holding on. If Spirit Beast Academy had sent another fighter, he might have been eliminated."
In the end, without any actual evidence, all of these were merely speculations.
Some of the weaker teams were also extremely worried.
If the Seven Treasure Team went all out against them, their fate would be no better than Spirit Beast Academy's.
Thankfully, the tournament rules allowed teams to concede. Otherwise, quite a few academies might have ended up disgraced during this Promotion Tournament.
Feng Xiaotian returned to the resting area and said with a smile, "I told you Changkong wouldn't need to enter the arena, didn't I?"
Changkong replied irritably, "The opponent surrendered. Otherwise, I still would've had a chance to enter the arena."
Feng Xiaotian still had enough energy to joke around, so it seemed that he hadn't expended too much of his strength.
Wu Qi asked, "Xiaotian, how much of your stamina and Spirit Power did you use?"
His Spirit Power consumption would give Wu Qi a useful reference.
After all, if they wanted to defeat seven opponents in succession, they had to carefully manage every bit of their Spirit Power and stamina.
Feng Xiaotian shook his head with a bitter smile. "I didn't use much Spirit Power, but I've already used more than half of my stamina."
"Their other two Spirit Ancestors and Meng Yiran hadn't even entered the arena."
"If they hadn't conceded and those two Spirit Ancestors had kept wearing me down, I could have eliminated them, but I wouldn't have had enough strength left to face Meng Yiran."
"So, defeating six opponents in succession was probably my limit in this match."
He had lacked experience during the first match, which had caused him to waste too much stamina.
Now that he had gained some experience, he would be able to use his abilities more efficiently in the next match.
Wu Qi said helplessly, "You think there'll be a next time?"
"Don't forget that the others haven't had a chance to show what they can do yet. Everyone should get a chance to fight in the first match. Don't try to take all the opportunities for yourself."
"From now on, Xiaotian, you'll be the second one to enter the arena. That'll give you more opportunities to show your strength."
"But once the other teams see you, they'll be prepared for you. It won't be realistic to defeat six opponents in succession again."
As for Wu Qi himself, he was placed at the very end of the lineup as the team's safety net, ensuring that they wouldn't lose the match.
Of course, with the Seven Treasure Team's strength, they would most likely never need him to enter the arena.
The matches on the first day of the Promotion Tournament ended before noon.
Apart from the team that had a bye and didn't participate that day, all the other teams had already demonstrated their respective strengths.
With the exception of Shrek Academy, every other academy had already labeled the Seven Treasure Team as an unbeatable opponent.
To avoid dealing an excessive blow to their own teams' confidence, several weaker teams decided to give up their matches against the Seven Treasure Team and concede before the matches even began.
As a result, the Promotion Tournament became rather boring for the Seven Treasure Team.
For several days in a row, their opponents conceded before the matches, forcing them to sit out and rest.
