Chapter 362: Chapter 362: The Opening Match – Blazing Fire Academy’s Impressive Power, and Team Two’s Terrible Luck

The captain of Heaven Dou's Team Two handed the draw results to the announcer with a slightly grim expression. The announcer, glancing at the outcome, appeared momentarily stunned. It seemed Team Two's luck wasn't on their side; they'd drawn a tough opponent right off the bat.

He announced loudly, "The first match of the qualifiers: Heaven Dou Team Two versus Blazing Fire Academy! Teams, please enter the arena!"

At that, Su Ming and his teammates finally understood why Team Two's captain looked so downcast. Su Ming almost felt sympathy—his luck was awful.

Even without Shrek Academy in the picture, Team Two had drawn Blazing Fire Academy. Truly unfortunate.

Tang San, meanwhile, seemed a bit disappointed; he had hoped Team Two might face his own team.

Yu Xiaogang, noticing Tang San's thoughts, said seriously, "Tang San, watch this match closely. Blazing Fire Academy is one of the Five Elemental Academies and shouldn't be underestimated. Today, we can analyze their spirit levels and abilities, which will help us prepare for later matches."

Calming himself, Tang San focused intently on the arena. As the team's control-type spirit master, he needed a clear understanding of Blazing Fire Academy's strength to prepare effective countermeasures.

Meanwhile, the large screen displayed both teams' spirits and spirit power levels.

Blazing Fire Academy lineup:

Captain: Huo Wushuang, Level 43 Assault-type Spirit Ancestor, Spirit: Fire Unicorn Dragon

Vice Captain: Huo Wu, Level 47 Control-type Spirit Ancestor, Spirit: Fire Shadow

Member: Huo Yun, Level 38 Agility-type Spirit Expert, Spirit: Fire Crane

Member: Huo Yu, Level 41 Agility-type Spirit Expert, Spirit: Fire Crane

Member: Huo Lie, Level 42 Agility-type Spirit Ancestor, Spirit: Fire Leopard

Member: Huo Chui, Level 41 Support-type Tool Spirit Ancestor, Spirit: Fire Spark

Member: Huo Jun, Level 41 Support-type Spirit Ancestor, Spirit: Fire Spark

All seven members were the primary fighters for Blazing Fire Academy. Huo Wu had instructed her team to refrain from using their fourth spirit rings unless necessary, preserving their strength for later rounds.

Su Ming's gaze settled on Huo Wu. Her strength had increased rapidly, and the entire team's level seemed much higher than he remembered. In the original timeline, only Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, and the Fire Leopard spirit user were supposed to be Spirit Ancestors. Was this some butterfly effect?

System: Heh, heh, heh.

Meanwhile, the Blazing Fire team was far from happy. Nine months prior, Huo Wu had suddenly thrown them into relentless training. Their days had consisted of nothing but intense training, with only brief breaks for meals and four hours of sleep. It was torture—but effective. Because of Huo Wu's strict regime, those on the brink of reaching the Spirit Ancestor level had managed to break through and obtain their fourth spirit rings.

The audience was stunned by Blazing Fire Academy's prowess, including the announcer, who exclaimed, "Six Spirit Ancestors in one team! This level of strength is incredible. Let's see how Heaven Dou's Team Two responds to the challenge. Let the match begin!"

In the royal box, Emperor Xue Ye turned to Ning Fengzhi and Salas, observing, "The quality of this year's students is remarkable. Usually, the Five Elemental Academies have around three Spirit Ancestors each. Yet Blazing Fire Academy now has six."

Ning Fengzhi smiled, "No need to worry, Your Majesty. Team Two was never expected to reach the finals. This year's Team One, however, is exceptional." Ning Fengzhi avoided mentioning the presence of three Spirit Kings in Team One, particularly with Salas from the Spirit Hall nearby.

Understanding the message, Emperor Xue Ye nodded approvingly. Salas, however, narrowed his eyes. The two old foxes were hiding something, but he knew Team One contained at least one Spirit King. His sources had informed him about their recent friendly match against Tianshui Academy, with a Spirit King among them.

In the arena, as expected, Blazing Fire Academy won handily. The gap in power was too great for Team Two, who didn't have a single Spirit Ancestor on their side.

As the match concluded, Huo Wu glanced triumphantly in Su Ming's direction. Su Ming assumed this was a display of arrogance. Perhaps defeating Team Two had given her an inflated sense of confidence, and she wanted to flaunt it in front of Team One.

But, in truth, Huo Wu was silently sending a message to Su Ming: "This is my true strength! We'll see you in the finals."

There was indeed a hint of challenge in her gaze. That was just like Huo Wu.

While Huo Wu's strength, combined with the two Spirit Ancestor support members on her team, was troublesome, Su Ming was less concerned for himself and more curious about how Tang San would handle them.


Chapter 363: Chapter 363: Confusion Among the Women—Why Does Su Ming Think Canghui Academy Can Beat Thunderclap Academy?

Without the Blazing Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass lacked immunity to fire and water. As Thunderclap Academy's control-type soul master, how would he respond?

If Thunderclap Academy's strength remained similar to the original story, they wouldn't stand a chance against Blazing Fire Academy.

In the original, Huo Wu's fourth spirit ability, with the support of two Soul Elders, already rivaled a typical Soul King's fifth ability. And now?

With Huo Wu at Level 47 and two supporting Soul Ancestors amplifying her fourth ability, the power was formidable. Not to mention Huo Wu's unique gift—soul ring fusion. Even if she struggled to control it, her unleashed power would definitely rival a Soul Emperor's.

Furthermore, Tang San didn't even have his Eight Spider Lances. A direct hit could kill him on the spot!

Also, without the boost from the Moonlight Dew, Tang San's Purple Demon Eye was likely still at the Micro level, not the Seed level. If Shinian from Canghui Academy targeted him, only an intervention from Tang Hao would save him.

Reflecting on these scenarios, Su Ming felt a profound 'concern' for Tang San's safety. There was Shui Bing'er's ice, Huo Wu's fire, Shinian's illusions, and Canghui Academy's seven-in-one fusion technique—more than enough to keep Tang San preoccupied!

On the way back to the academy, Su Ming began writing in his diary.

Diary Entry: "Today was the opening of the Continental Spirit Master Elite Tournament. After a long ten months, I finally saw Tang San and Dai Mubai again."

"Surprisingly, Tang San managed to hold back in the face of my provocation. He truly knows how to endure. Judging by their demeanor, I suspect he has some hidden tricks up his sleeve. But even if he does, without the aid of three celestial herbs and his external spirit bone, how will he fare against Tianshui Academy, Blazing Fire Academy, or even Canghui Academy?"

Upon seeing Su Ming mention Canghui Academy, the women were baffled. While Canghui was certainly reputable, it seemed unlikely that Thunderclap Academy would lose to them.

As for Tianshui and Blazing Fire, the women were confident Thunderclap wouldn't stand a chance.

Diary Entry: "Oh, and there was an old acquaintance, Yu Tianheng. What a coward—hiding behind Thunderclap Academy instead of facing his former teammates. Pitiful!"

"On the bright side, Dugu Yan's attitude was refreshing. She intends to settle things with Yu Tianheng, and I hope Thunderclap can at least make it through the preliminaries. Otherwise, her teammates won't even get the chance to avenge themselves."

"As I see it, Thunderclap Academy will need some luck to advance. The strong teams in this bracket alone—like Elephant Armored Academy, Blazing Fire, Tianshui, Plant, and Canghui—make six challenging opponents. If Thunderclap ends up against Blazing Fire, Tianshui, Godwind, or Canghui, and those teams don't hold back, Thunderclap could easily end up fifth."

"And if they mess up their strategy or encounter some unexpected setback, they might miss the finals altogether. What a pity!"

This intrigued the women even more—especially Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong. They had interacted with Canghui Academy at the tavern and hadn't thought much of their strength. How could Canghui surpass Thunderclap Academy?

Unfortunately, Su Ming provided no further explanation, leaving them even more curious.

Diary Entry: "And then, the opening match. Team Two drew Blazing Fire Academy, of all teams. What terrible luck for their captain!"

"The Heaven Dou division has nearly thirty teams. To draw one of the Five Elemental Academies right away? Ridiculous. The same thing happened in the original story when the Lan Ba Academy, which had replaced Shrek, drew Team Two as their first opponent."

"What happened was hilarious. Before the match, Team Two looked down on Shrek Academy, only to be knocked out in under a minute. It was beyond embarrassing!"

Some of the female protagonists found this amusing, while Dugu Yan was irritated. This Team Two was utterly hopeless, managing to draw strong opponents two tournaments in a row!

Diary Entry: "What surprised me most, though, was Blazing Fire Academy's overall strength. Their team had six Soul Ancestors. In the original, only three reached that level, while three others were just below it. Yet now, all of them broke through to Level 41!"

"It's absurd. But even more absurd is Huo Wu, already at Level 47. With her cultivation speed, this shouldn't even be possible."

Huo Wu: "Su Ming, who are you calling weak? Just wait until we meet in the tournament—I'll show you!"

Huo Wu knew Su Ming was strong, but she didn't believe she was without a chance. With her trump card and the amplification from two Soul Ancestors, she felt confident.

If she could incinerate Su Ming's Wood Dragon spirit completely, he wouldn't be able to regenerate.

Diary Entry: "But Huo Wu indeed has some skills, or she wouldn't have led her team to the Soul Ancestor level. She's a determined woman."

"I'm genuinely looking forward to seeing Tang San face Blazing Fire, Tianshui, and the others. Hopefully, they'll push him enough to reveal his trump card. Tang San's calm demeanor today suggests he's got something up his sleeve."

"With Huo Wu's ring fusion and her amplified fourth spirit ability, Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu's fusion skill, and Canghui Academy's seven-in-one fusion technique, I'm sure we'll see Tang San's secrets come out."
