Chapter 18 The coolest entrance
Welcome to the Continental Elite Advanced Soul Master Tournament!
Inside the Heavenly Battle Arena, the host's voice was amplified and carried to every corner through the soul guide device.
A deafening roar of cheers erupted from the packed stands, where nearly a third of the people of Tiandou City had gathered or were present in person.
On the high platform, Emperor Xueye sat in the center, flanked by Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Salas, the platinum bishop of the Spirit Hall.
Further out were the representatives of the various nobles and sects of the Heaven Dou Empire, all their eyes focused on the center of the Soul Arena.
"First to enter is our Heavenly Dou Royal Academy Team One!"
The host's voice was passionate.
"Captain Yu Tianheng, Martial Soul: Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, Soul Power Level 43!"
Dressed in magnificent gold uniforms, the Royal Fighting Team entered the arena with their heads held high, and the audience erupted in enthusiastic applause. As a seeded team recommended by the Heavenly Dou Empire, they represented the face of the empire.
"Next up is Thunder Academy! Captain Yu Tianxin..."
"Blazing Fire Academy! Captain Huo Wushuang..."
"Shinkaze Academy! Captain Feng Xiaotian..."
"Elephant Armor Academy!"
Teams entered one by one, each wearing uniforms that highlighted the college's characteristics, and greeted the audience as introduced by the host.
The atmosphere gradually heated up as the audience cheered for their favorite academy.
However, the atmosphere inside the stadium became subtle when a team wearing bizarre green uniforms entered.
"The next academy to enter is Shrek Academy!"
The host paused, seemingly surprised by the team's attire.
"Captain Dai Mubai, Martial Soul: Evil-Eyed White Tiger, Soul Power: Level 44! Team Member Tang San, Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass, Soul Power: Level 42..."
The audience was suddenly stunned.
Immediately afterwards, laughter erupted from all directions.
"What kind of clothes are those? Did those vegetable leaves come to life?"
"Hahaha, this color scheme and design are so tacky!"
"Shrek Academy? Never heard of it. What kind of rural academy is this?"
In the audience, the burly Tyrone's face was flushed, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked. Huang Yuan and Jing Ling beside him also looked angry. Only Dai Mubai remained relatively calm, but his lips were twitching.
"Taron, hold on."
Dai Mubai said in a low voice.
"Who told us to run into that shrewish dean!"
He recalled Dean Flander's smug expression when he designed the team uniform, a look that suggested it was "good value for money," and now he just wanted to disappear into the ground.
Tang San stood beside him, but his clenched fists betrayed his feelings.
Xiao Wu glared angrily at the audience, while Ning Rongrong lowered her head, wishing she could bury her face in her chest.
Zhu Zhuqing's face remained cold, but the murderous intent in her eyes was almost tangible. Oscar and Ma Hongjun exchanged a helpless glance.
On the high platform, Bishop Salas squinted his eyes, looking at Shrek Academy with great interest. Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly, and Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo beside him, whispered something. Ning Fengzhi shook his head gently.
After all the colleges had entered, the host looked around and suddenly realized something was missing.
"etc……"
He flipped through the list in his hand.
"Where is Tianshui Academy, renowned throughout the empire for its abundance of beautiful women? Why hasn't it appeared yet?"
The audience then realized, "Yes, the Tianshui Academy in the Four Elements Academy is famous for its all-female students with outstanding looks. They are always the focus of attention whenever they appear. Why are they absent today?"
Salas suddenly perked up, leaning forward with a lewd glint in his eyes as he scanned the area where Tianshui Academy students were supposed to be.
Emperor Xueye also noticed the anomaly and turned his head to ask.
"Sect Leader Ning, do you know why the Tianshui Academy has not yet arrived?"
Ning Fengzhi bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, I do not know."
He was genuinely unaware that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's intelligence network had not received any news about the absence of the Heavenly Water Academy, which was highly unusual.
Whispers began to break out in the VIP section.
Although Tianshui Academy is not among the top-tier academies in terms of strength, it has always had a large following thanks to its unique all-female lineup and outstanding looks.
Their absence disappointed many viewers.
"Could it be stage fright?"
"Impossible, Tianshui Academy made it into the top eight last year."
"Could something have happened on the road?"
……
Amidst the discussions, time ticked by.
The host was a little embarrassed and was about to skip Tianshui College and move on to the next segment.
Just then, the space above the Soul Arena suddenly distorted.
A silver crack appeared out of nowhere, like a curtain torn open by an invisible hand. The crack expanded rapidly, and a rich aura of water element surged out from it.
"What is that?!"
Someone exclaimed in surprise.
All eyes turned to the sky.
From the crack, figures in blue robes drifted down one after another. They were seven girls wearing the standard team uniforms of Tianshui Academy, their light blue skirts fluttering in the wind.
Leading the group was Captain Shui Bing'er, whose long, icy blue hair danced in the wind, and whose face was as cold and aloof as snow.
Behind her were Gu Yuena, Xue Wu, Shui Yue'er... all the regular members of Tianshui Academy were present.
But the most eye-catching one is not Shui Bing'er, nor is it the silver-haired, icy and beautiful girl Gu Yuena in the team.
Instead, it was a figure within the entire group.
A man dressed in light blue clothing.
He had long, jet-black hair that flowed in the wind.
With a handsome face and a faint smile on his lips, his deep eyes stood out strikingly and became the focal point of the entire picture.
The crowd fell silent instantly.
Then a discussion erupted that was more heated than ever before.
"A man?!"
Why are there men at Tianshui College?!
"Wasn't it said that Tianshui Academy only accepts female students? What's going on?"
……
Salas slammed his hammer against the stone chair and snorted disdainfully.
Ning Fengzhi cautiously asked Gu Rong, "Uncle Gu, is that spatial power?"
Gu Rong nodded. "This little guy is extremely powerful, and he has the faint feeling of becoming a Soul Emperor."
In the air, the students from Tianshui Academy began to dive.
They descended slowly, their light blue figures tracing graceful arcs in the sunlight before finally landing lightly in the center of the Soul Arena, right next to Shrek Academy.
It landed without raising a single speck of dust.
Undoubtedly, this entrance method gave Tianshui College a great deal of prestige.
Yang Teng, the black-haired boy, stood next to Gu Yuena, his gaze sweeping across the entire scene, his eyes lingering for a moment in the direction of Shrek Academy.
He lingered on Tang San for half a second longer before turning to the VIP section and meeting the gaze of Bishop Salas.
Salas felt a chill rise up his spine.
Yang Teng smiled slightly, looked away, and nodded to the host.
The host then realized what was happening and quickly picked up the megaphone.
"Tianshui Academy! Captain Shui Bing'er, Soul Power Level 43! Team member Gu Yuena, Martial Soul Element Control, Soul Power... Level 53?!"
When the host mentioned Gu Yuena's soul power, his voice trembled slightly.
Level 53, a five-ring Soul King cultivation level, this is the most outstanding among all the contestants.
But he soon discovered that there was one more person on the list.
"Team member Yang Teng, Martial Soul... Time-Space Divine Dragon, Soul Power Level 44!"
Time-Space Dragon!
The moment those four words were uttered, the entire audience erupted in uproar once again.
A martial spirit I've never heard of before; that spatial rift must have originated from this person! What a shocking entrance.
Yang Teng stepped forward and spoke. His voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the entire Soul Arena:
"Tianshui College, it's a pleasure to meet you all."
