The next day, Tianlin woke up from his sleep. He had been unable to calm down yesterday, so he didn't continue his Meditation cultivation, lest he become possessed. In his dream, he saw that strange scene again.
"Is it because I was thinking about it during the day that I dreamed about it at night!" Tianlin supported his forehead and jumped off the bed with a carp leap. "Forget it, let's talk about future things later. Anyway, I've left a backup plan. Besides, according to that situation, even if it really happens, the unluckiest one should be Tang San."
If he couldn't figure it out, then so be it. No matter what happens in the future, as long as Tianlin has enough strength to deal with it, it will be fine. At this time, it's better to cultivate hard.
After a simple wash, Tianlin joined the Royal Fight team and arrived at the competition venue. In the battle with Purple Star, Tianlin and Gu Ran didn't play. They were too weak. The two Shi Family brothers, relying on the advancing tactics that Qin Ming had devised for them, easily crushed their battle formation.
This battle was very bland and didn't cause any waves. After all, no one believed that Purple Star had even a one percent chance of defeating Royal Fight. On the other hand, the battle between Shrek and Canghui attracted a lot of attention.
Shrek is a newly emerging dark horse, with a very high win rate in this competition. The strength they have shown so far is not inferior to the Five Element Academies. Most importantly, Tang San in the team actually knocked three Royal Fight members out of the arena yesterday.
And Canghui, seemingly a very ordinary academy, unexpectedly used a seven-in-one fusion skill called Seven Asura Illusion Realm.
Originally, among all the academies, apart from Tianlin's External Spirit Bone and Spirit Hall's fusion skill Demon Charm, probably no other academy could resist this move.
But they still lost today, because of Tang San's Purple Demon Eyes.
"Oh, Tang San's Purple Demon Eyes have actually entered the third realm, and he even saw through the Seven Asura Illusion Realm." Tianlin thought to himself, "This Tang San's luck is really extraordinary. It seems that he took advantage of the mental power I gave him and turned misfortune into blessing."
Canghui and Shrek both took ruthless measures. Shi Nian disappeared. Canghui believed that Shrek had harmed Shi Nian, because they knew that Shi Nian left in the end to deal with Tang San.
On the other hand, Shrek believed that Shi Nian was afraid of being troubled by the two Soul Sages, Flander and Zhao Wuji, because he had snatched Tang San's Spirit Bone, and even being sued to the competition organizing committee, so he fled in fear of crime. This matter was simply a certainty. The only doubt was why Shi Nian didn't kill Tang San. Could it be that he had changed his nature in recent years after becoming a teacher and knew how to show mercy to young people?
If he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't think about it anymore. Anyway, the fault was on the other side, so both sides took action without mercy this time.
As in the original work, the Seven Asura Illusion Realm was broken by Tang San's mental attack, and the seven members of Canghui even suffered mental backlash from their own Spirit Skills and became idiots.
However, this time Salas did not make things difficult for Shrek because of this, because he completely didn't take Shrek Academy seriously. Tang San's ordinary Blue Silver Grass didn't have a ten thousand year Spirit Ring, so it wasn't worth his attention at all. The competition rules stated that there could be no deaths, so weren't the members of Canghui Academy still alive?
As for whether they were living well, that was none of his business.
Therefore, Shrek didn't need to pretend to be weak, and Tang San and others continued to participate in the next few matches.
Soon, the preliminary round of the competition came to the last day, and the top five who could advance were finally all determined.
First, Royal Fight, of course, goes without saying, with twenty-six wins.
Next is Thunder, they were lucky not to encounter Royal Fight, with twenty-six battles and twenty-five wins. The only defeat was to Divine Wind.
The third place is Divine Wind, who defeated Thunder, with twenty-six battles and twenty-four wins. The two losses were to Royal Fight and Blazing Fire respectively. Losing to Royal Fight was due to insufficient strength, and the reason for losing to Blazing Fire, everyone knows, wasn't it because a certain Gale Simp kept holding back! Next is Heavenly Water, with twenty-six battles and twenty-three wins. The three losses were one to Royal Fight, one was blown out by Divine Wind, and one was lost to Thunder due to attribute restraint. Moreover, this time, they defeated Shrek. Without the Blue Silver Cage and Tang San's Distraction Control, they couldn't stop Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu's Spirit Fusion Skill Ice and Snow Dance at all.
Finally, there are Shrek and Blazing Fire, both with twenty-six battles and twenty-two wins. Shrek lost one match each to Royal Fight, Blazing Fire, Heavenly Water, and Thunder.
As for Blazing Fire, although they won against Divine Wind and Shrek, they were very unlucky and also encountered Heavenly Water, Thunder, Elephant Armor, and Royal Fight.
Blazing Fire was already a little behind Heavenly Water and Thunder, so losing was nothing to say. Elephant Armor was completely a matter of luck. They faced Thunder the day before and exhausted their Soul Power. They lost to the leisurely Elephant Armor in a back-to-back battle.
Finally, facing Royal Fight, Tianlin's Ultimate Fire came out, and the entire Blazing Fire Academy was planted, and they could hardly use a single Spirit Skill, and they were defeated extremely unjustly.
Because only five teams can advance, the organizing committee had no choice but to let Shrek and Blazing Fire fight again for fairness, and the winner would advance.
But this time, unexpectedly, the loser was Blazing Fire. There was no way, if they lost this match, they would be eliminated. Grandmaster had no choice but to release the final trump card, Ning Rongrong.
The forty-fifth level Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can almost improve the strength of the entire Shrek team by one level, and the dark Fourth Spirit Ring is even more shocking.
Everyone had only one thought, is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect a gathering place for monsters? The two Soul Kings need not be said, and there is even a Ning Rongrong with a ten thousand year Fourth Spirit Ring, trying to scare people to death? Relying on Ning Rongrong's tyrannical auxiliary ability, Shrek barely managed to stay in the ranks, but Blazing Fire was obviously very unconvinced with the loss. Huo Wu approached Feng Xiaotian, the captain of the Divine Wind battle team, after the game, seemingly discussing something.
Tianlin guessed that the new Divine Wind team in the original work seems to be appearing after all.
Inside the main hall, the five teams that had advanced stood in a row. Ning Rongrong adorably winked at Tianlin, her expression clearly seeking praise, as if asking how she had performed in the battle just now.
Tianlin secretly gave her a thumbs up in response.
The others from Royal Fight and Shrek all pretended not to see their flirtatious exchange. Ning Fengzhi, however, smiled slightly. He had watched both of these children grow up, and he was delighted to see their relationship flourishing.
At that moment, the Emperor Xue Ye stepped forward and said, "Contestants from the advancing teams, you are all talents of our empire. Today, I personally bestow upon each team's captain and vice-captain the title of Imperial Viscount, and upon the remaining members the title of Baron. After your graduation, fiefdoms will be distributed."
Just like in the original story, the Emperor Xue Ye issued a rather astonishing decree, bestowing noble titles upon everyone so easily.
Tianlin hadn't expected that he, born a commoner, would become a genuine noble so quickly, although he didn't particularly care for the title.
"Your Majesty, this may not be appropriate," Salas said from the side, his expression unpleasant. Those who could participate in the promotion tournament were all considered excellent Soul Masters, and his Spirit Hall still wanted to recruit them.
"There is no precedent for awarding noble titles in the past. Moreover, even if you were to grant them, isn't directly giving the title of Viscount a bit too high?"
The Emperor Xue Ye glanced at him and said, "Platinum Bishop, the conferral of noble titles is an internal affair of my empire. It seems to have nothing to do with Spirit Hall, does it?"
"I promise here that if the Heaven Dou Empire can produce the ultimate champion team, then the noble title of every member of that team will be raised by another level."
The Emperor Xue Ye was very displeased. He was the emperor; did he need Salas's approval to bestow titles upon whomever he pleased? The more you try to stop me, the higher I will bestow.
