Let alone speaking of entering Elder Palace.
Flender's face was already covered with a smiling expression,
"Lord bishop, don't worry! Just now was also my bad, a bit too impetuous. What do you say? Among our students, Tang San's injuries aren't serious. It might be better if you ask him? He is after all the soul of the whole team. I think his knowledge of the match should also be relatively clear."
Salas shot Flender a glance, anger building in his heart, 'If you'd said so long ago, would I have had to see the Supreme Pontiff Writ? Since I've already sold my face, I can only sell it to the end. Even if I really found something, don't tell me I could really cancel your tournament qualifications?'
"No need, no need. I already understand. Those Blue Sunshine Academy students should only have been injured by spirit ability backlash. Under such circumstances, what could be done to your noble institution's students? I'll take my leave."
Finished speaking, Salas quickly brought his two cardinals away without paying any attention to Flender's urging, even to the extent that he forgot to say anything to Ning Fengzhi.
Ning Fengzhi looked deeply at Grandmaster, then left with Bone Douluo following.
The Golden Iron Triangle trio saw them to the Academy gate.
"No need to see me further. I've troubled you today. Grandmaster, about the Supreme Pontiff..."
Grandmaster looked at Salas' evasive gaze with a faint smile, saying:
"Don't worry, your eminence. The tournament is exceptionally impartial this year."
Salas' face revealed a trace of satisfaction, then he nodded and brought his people away.
Ning Fengzhi was in no hurry to leave, and looked at Grandmaster with a smile:
"I truly didn't expect that Grandmaster would actually be an honorary elder of Spirit Hall, Ning Fengzhi has been lacking in manners before."
The expression in Grandmaster's eyes was reserved,
"It's only to scare some mediocre people, that's all."
Ning Fengzhi seemed like he wanted to ask something, but in the end he still held back,
"The children's health is important, it would be better to forfeit tomorrow's match. That would also give the organizational committee a way out."
Finished saying this, Ning Fengzhi took his leave of the trio, turning and leaving with the Bone Douluo.
Following the two fading backs with his eyes, the fake smile on Flender's face gradually faded,
"This school master Ning is worthy of his reputation. Only, Xiao Gang, even though you managed to scare off Spirit Hall's people with a tiger's roar this time, I'm afraid it'll attract even more attention from them in the future."
Before Grandmaster had time to open his mouth, suddenly, his ear twinged painfully. Liu Erlong's somewhat ice cool voice rose,
"Yu Xiao Gang, you're unexpectedly still in contact with that slut, speak, aren't you..."
Seeing Liu Erlong display the power of her anger, Flender first looked distracted, then hastily said:
"Eh, I still have some things to do. I'll go back first. You chat."
Finished speaking, he turned and ran without any semblance of brotherly spirit.
"Ouch, Erlong, let go. You misunderstand.
Grandmaster helplessly looked at Liu Erlong.
Currently, the rims of Liu Erlong's eyes had turned red, teardrops forming,
"Misunderstand? That slut even gave you a Supreme Pontiff Writ, what's there still to misunderstand? She has such an affair with you, and you won't even admit it."
Grandmaster's face was stiff as a board,
"Don't talk nonsense. Let go. She didn't give me this Supreme Pontiff Writ."
Even though Liu Erlong was a lot stronger than Grandmaster, when Grandmaster's true anger still made her somewhat afraid. Releasing the ear she'd grabbed,
"Then speak, who gave you this Supreme Pontiff Writ? If your answer doesn't satisfy me, I won't let it go at that."
Grandmaster helplessly said:
"Ah, you. No matter what your age you're still so impulsive."
Liu Erlong's eyebrows shot up,
"You're saying I'm old?"
"Eh... You know that wasn't what I meant. Don't you want to hear the story of this Supreme Pontiff Writ?"
"Speak."
Liu Erlong then restrained her temper somewhat.
Grandmaster sighed lightly, saying:
"Little San's father gave it to me."
Liu Erlong wasn't very familiar with Tang San's background. Ever since Grandmaster had appeared, she'd set her entire heart on him alone. Now she couldn't keep from astonished saying:
"Little San's father? How is that possible, don't tell me..."
Grandmaster took Liu Erlong's hand, walking into the Academy. While walking, he slowly spoke four words:
"Title Douluo: Clear Sky."
...
In order to prove that their students were indeed seriously injured, the next day, Shrek Academy announced that they would be forfeiting the next two matches to give the team members enough time to rest.
Shrek Academy's undefeated golden record was also smashed with this. Moreover, the opponents they drew for these two days were unexpectedly the two great powers, Godwind Academy and Thunderclap Academy.
If Thunderclap Academy felt they were somewhat lucky, then Godwind Academy's captain Feng Xiaotian was depressed.
Shrek Academy forfeiting admittedly directly gave them the victory, but Huo Wu's anger clearly wouldn't abate because of a victory like this. Feng Xiaotian hadn't truly defeated Tang San, so he could only temporarily shelve his plans of bringing back the beauty.
The qualifiers continued with the momentum of wildfire. After Shrek Academy returned, their strength hadn't weakened like some spectators had thought, and they continued playing their victory song. Very soon, altogether twenty seven rounds of the qualifiers approached their conclusion. Only the last round remained before the end.
At present, the top teams were ranked as follows:
Thunderclap Academy, twenty six fights with twenty five victories. Their only loss was against Godwind Academy.
Godwind Academy, twenty six fights with twenty five wins. Their only loss was against Blazing Academy. With a certain key character throwing the game, avoiding defeat wasn't easy.
Shrek Academy, twenty six fights with twenty four wins.
Blazing Academy, twenty six fights with twenty three wins.
Skywater Academy, twenty six fights with twenty three wins.
Elephant Armored Academy, twenty six fights with twenty one wins.
...
Even though there was still the final round remaining before the conclusion, in fact, the passing teams were already decided. Those were: Thunderclap Academy, Godwind Academy, Shrek Academy, Blazing Academy, and Skywater Academy.
As one of the five elemental academies, Elephant Armored Academy had lost to each of the ranking five and was now hopelessly out of bounds.
In the final round, among the top five, Thunderclap Academy, Godwind Academy, and Blazing Academy were each facing weak opponents, and their victory was more or less assured.
But Shrek Academy had finally once again come across another troublesome opponent since Blazing Academy, and would settle the outcome of the final round with Skywater Academy.
Even though the match was unrelated to who would pass, it still bore upon their ranking in the qualifiers. Shrek Academy's victory could preserve their third place.
If Skywater Academy won, then adding their previous victory over Blazing Academy, they would replace Shrek Academy's position.
Therefore, at the final round, the organizational committee had arranged for the top five teams as well as Elephant Armored Academy to fight in the same round, as a brilliant representation of the final qualifying round to the spectators.
Shrek Academy facing Skywater Academy was no doubt the most important match, so they were naturally selected to carry it out on the central stage.
Every day there were fourteen matches, split over three rounds. As a result of the qualifiers already being settled by now, as well as it being the final round, the academies that had already washed out weren't particularly zealous, and the first two rounds ended very quickly.
In the rest area, the five great elemental academies and Shrek Academy were quietly waiting to go up. Of course, there were still another four teams as foils.
Tang San and Dai Mubai sat close together in front of their team, quietly waiting for the match to begin.
Thinking back over these qualifiers, the only ones that had truly brought them any trouble was Elephant Armored Academy, Blazing Academy, and Blue Sunshine Academy. And Blue Sunshine Academy was dealt with by Tang San with his Purple Demon Eye alone.
The remaining powers, Godwind Academy and Thunderclap Academy, had passed while they forfeited their matches. The rest of the qualifiers passed without hindrance.
Even though there were hindrances among them, speaking overall, it still went smoothly. Today was the final round of the qualifiers. Even if their inability to become the champions of the qualifiers left Tang San somewhat frustrated, he had long ago secretly vowed that no matter what, the final championship of this Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament was set aside for Shrek Academy.
The outcome of today's match might be without consequence, but neither Tang San and Dai Mubai had any intent of giving up. Only by unceasingly competing with powers could they increase their own strength.
Shrek Academy's lineup was separately: Captain, Evil Eye White Tiger Dai Mubai. Vice Captain, Thousand Hands Asura Tang San. Close combat power attack system Spirit Master Soft Bones Demon Rabbit Xiao Wu, power attack system Spirit Masters Tai Long and Huang Yuan, agility attack system Spirit Master Jing Ling and healing system Spirit Master Jiang Zhu.
Same as their fight against Blazing Academy, there were only three people from their main force.
The start of the final match drew closer and closer. At this time, a cheerful silhouette surreptitiously came over. His gaze first swept across Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, then landed on Tang San.
"Brother Tang, today is the final match. Work hard!"
Tang San and the others looked at the new arrival. It wasn't a stranger, but the Godwind Academy team's captain, Feng Xiaotian.
Looking at him, Xiao Wu couldn't help frowning,
"Why did you come here? Can't you say something new?"
In fact, before practically each match since Shrek Academy had defeated Blazing Academy, Feng Xiaotian had come over to give Shrek Academy a pep talk.
