"The match begins!"
As the referee's voice rang out, the audience around the arena erupted in thunderous cheers.
The earth-shattering sound was like ignited gunpowder.
The battle in the arena was about to begin!
In an instant, dazzling spirit rings rose from within the arena.
For Heaven Dou Academy to display their spirit rings, they were clearly giving the Star Luo Royal Team a lot of respect.
One must know that when fighting the Plant Academy, only Shi Mo and Shi Mo, the two brothers from Heaven Dou Academy, symbolically displayed their spirit rings.
However, when all the Heaven Dou members revealed their spirit rings, the Star Luo Royal Team instantly exploded into an uproar.
One team, five Spirit Kings.
Was this going to defy the heavens?
Zhu Zhuyun's eyes were filled with shock and bewilderment as she stared at the five bright spirit rings on Zhu Zhuqing's body, hardly believing her eyes.
She had been shocked enough when she heard her sister had broken through to a level 40-something Spirit Ancestor.
But how much time had passed since the Soul Master Competition began until now?
How had her sister broken through to Spirit King?
Could it be that they used some cultivation method of fallen Spirit Masters?
Thinking of this, a hint of worry flashed in Zhu Zhuyun's eyes.
But with a major battle imminent, she didn't have time to be distracted by thoughts.
"Quick, use the Spirit Fusion Skill!" Dai Weisi roared from the side, releasing his White Tiger Spirit.
Zhu Zhuyun didn't hesitate either, immediately entering a state of readiness.
In a flash, their Spirits merged, instantly transforming into a gigantic Hell White Tiger.
The White Tiger roared, shaking the entire arena!
Two Spirit Ancestors at level 47 or 48, using a Spirit Fusion Skill, could even pose a certain threat to a Spirit Emperor.
However, after Qi Lin's amplification, which Spirit King from the Heaven Dou Deputy Team couldn't fight a Spirit Emperor beyond their level?
Xiao Wu, as the captain, sweetly shouted, "This big white cat is for Zhuqing. Nobody snatch it from her. Let's knock the others down."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's gaze towards Xiao Wu also carried a hint of gratitude, and then she refocused her attention on the Hell White Tiger.
Although she was only level 53, having consumed the Good Fortune Heaven Mending Pill and continuously receiving buffs from Qi Lin, her raw stats alone were probably no less than an ordinary Spirit Emperor.
If one also considered her advantages in Feng Ling Yue Ying Bu (Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Step) and spirit power control, she could even defeat an ordinary Spirit Emperor, let alone a Hell White Tiger that could only rival a Spirit Emperor.
The other members of the Heaven Dou Deputy Team, hearing Xiao Wu's words, also responded with smiles, each turning their gaze towards the other members of the Star Luo Royal Team.
First come, first served!
Zhu Zhuqing, facing the Hell White Tiger's charge, showed no panic at all.
With her Spirit possessed, Zhu Zhuqing's hands glowed with sharp, cold light from her claws, emitting a terrifying chill.
Stepping on Feng Ling Yue Ying Bu (Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Step), Zhu Zhuqing's speed at this moment was even more exaggerated, leaving behind ghostly afterimages in the arena.
With her speed, the Hell White Tiger couldn't even touch a corner of Zhu Zhuqing's clothes.
Yet, Zhu Zhuqing's sharp claws could easily land on its massive body.
Where the claws scratched, it sent shivers down one's spine.
Such attacks landed on the Hell White Tiger, tearing open hideous wounds.
In just three minutes, the Hell White Tiger's massive body suddenly exploded under Zhu Zhuqing's fierce assault.
Zhu Zhuyun and Dai Weisi, like kites with broken strings, flew backwards in two different directions. It appeared both of them had sustained varying degrees of serious injuries.
Although not unconscious, they had already lost their combat ability.
Zhu Zhuqing intercepted Zhu Zhuyun at an extremely fast speed during her backward flight, then landed steadily.
Zhu Zhuyun's tall figure now bore many claw marks, and blood seeped from the corner of her mouth, yet a look of relief appeared in her eyes.
"Sister, congratulations!"
"You won!"
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing shook her head and smiled, saying, "Sister, don't worry. Even if I defeat you all, I won't help Dai Mubai deal with you and Dai Weisi."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuyun looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a complex expression.
With Zhu Zhuqing's current strength, if she were to help Dai Mubai seize the throne, Dai Weisi would absolutely not be able to contend with Dai Mubai.
And given the cruelty of the Star Luo Imperial Family, once Dai Mubai ascended the throne, she and Dai Weisi would likely not escape death.
Yet, Zhu Zhuqing was willing to voluntarily give up the position of Empress of the Star Luo Empire.
"Sister, you must think carefully!" Zhu Zhuyun asked again.
Zhu Zhuqing smiled, "I've already thought it through, and I've already found true happiness here…"
As she spoke, a touching smile appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's cold face.
Seeing this, Zhu Zhuyun's expression froze, and she suddenly felt a surge of curiosity.
She really wanted to see what her sister's so-called true happiness was like.
This match ended with the Heaven Dou Deputy Team's victory, without any dispute.
After the match, since the subsequent competitions no longer involved the Star Luo Royal Academy, Dai Weisi immediately prepared to return to the Star Luo Empire.
As for Zhu Zhuyun, she was originally supposed to return to the Star Luo Empire with Dai Weisi, but Dai Weisi later had a little scheme.
He was also very clear about the situation; now Zhu Zhuqing alone could contend with him and Zhu Zhuyun combined.
If she were to help Dai Mubai, he certainly wouldn't be able to keep the throne.
Although Zhu Zhuqing said she wouldn't help Dai Mubai, she wouldn't now, but who could guarantee she wouldn't in the future?
After all, once Dai Mubai became the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, Zhu Zhuqing would be the empress.
Second only to one person, above ten thousand!
No, with Zhu Zhuqing's current strength, if she became empress, her status might even surpass the emperor's.
Therefore, after deliberation, Dai Weisi ultimately decided to leave Zhu Zhuyun behind.
Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing had reconciled, hadn't they? That's perfect; he could have Zhu Zhuyun stay by her side, binding her with sisterly affection, so he wouldn't have to worry about her changing her mind and helping Dai Mubai.
Dai Weisi was smug about this, feeling very satisfied with his scheme.
And Zhu Zhuyun was also satisfied; she hadn't seen her sister for nearly two years, so it was good to spend more time with her.
And by the way, she could also see the happiness her sister spoke of!
Just as Zhu Zhuqing was introducing her sister to the members of the Heaven Dou Deputy Team, the match between the Heaven Dou Main Team and the Spirit Hall Team was about to begin.
When all the members of both teams walked onto the arena, the Heaven Dou Main Team all had long faces, while the Spirit Hall members all looked serious.
Of course, they felt serious not because of the Heaven Dou Main Team, but because they had seen the tip of the iceberg of the Heaven Dou Deputy Team's strength in the previous match.
How much time had passed? How did the Heaven Dou Battle Team suddenly produce five Spirit Kings?
Moreover, even their Spirit Hall Team's three Spirit Kings would absolutely have no chance of winning against the Star Luo Royal Academy's Hell White Tiger in a one-on-one situation.
However, any random Spirit King from the Heaven Dou Deputy Team could easily defeat the Hell White Tiger.
Hu Liena stood at the front of the Spirit Hall Team, her eyes carrying a hint of resentment.
She felt that Qi Lin had deceived her.
With the Heaven Dou Deputy Team being so strong, would he really study the Spirit Hall Team as his greatest enemy?
He must have been teasing her then; he was too naughty!
