After returning to Shrek's room, Qian Yu spoke to Shrek's Companions, "The remaining four teams are us, Tang Sect, Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guidance Device Academy, and the Qianchen Battle Team!"
Ningtian frowned and said, "I've never even heard of this Qianchen Battle Team before. To make it into the top four, they must not be simple!"
Dai Yaoheng spoke with gravity, "Elder Qian Yu, is it possible that this Qianchen Battle Team is also an Evil Soul Master team?"
With Tang Sect as a warning from before, he had absolutely no faith in the Sun-Moon Empire and knew without a doubt that the Evil Soul Masters were deliberately let in by the Sun-Moon side!
Xiao Xiao propped up her chin, "It shouldn't be very likely, right! There have already been three Evil Soul Master teams! If another one comes up, the Sun-Moon Empire definitely won't be able to hold the Continent's Youth Soul Master Elite Competition ever again!"
Wu Feng quietly took over the conversation, "What if they're not planning to hold another one?"
In an instant, everyone's gaze turned towards Wu Feng...
Wu Feng felt a bit numb under the scrutiny of several pairs of eyes, "That... that was just a joke..."
Qian Yu smiled faintly, "No matter what, it's better to be cautious. If it's an individual elimination match, we need to be even more careful. If you really can't beat them, just jump off the competition stage!"
Everyone voiced in unison, "Understood!"
Ningtian patted his chest, "But just thinking about us becoming champions tomorrow really gets me excited!"
Wu Feng hugged Ning Tian, exclaiming excitedly, "Yeah! Just thinking about the crowd cheering for us, I might just wake up laughing from a dream!"
He Caitou blurted out a rather arrogant remark with his honest face, "It's my first time participating in the Continent's Youth Soul Master Elite Competition, so I've got to take the championship home no matter what."
Seeing how full of fighting spirit everyone was, Qian Yu didn't say much more...
"Let's just wait for tomorrow then."
...
When Qian Yu and the other four woke up, they found that Wu Feng was still tightly embracing Ningtian, fast asleep...
Xiao Xiao, looking at the two of them, said to He Caitou with a smile, "Aren't they adorable, Big Brother?"
He Caitou instinctively nodded, but then vigorously shook his head after realizing something...
Xiao Xiao teased, "Big Brother, don't be nervous, I was just kidding!"
Qian Yu glanced at Ling Luochang, "Luochang, hurry up and wake them."
Ling Luochang nodded, walked up to the two, and gently shook their delicate bodies...
"Ningtian, Wu Feng, time to get up!"
But there was no movement at all...
Suddenly, Ling Luochang's eyes grew sharp, and she unleashed her Martial Soul...
The next moment, a wave of icy cold air surged towards Wu Feng and Ningtian lying on the bed...
The two on the bed curled up into balls, with Ningtian murmuring from the corner of his mouth, "So... so cold!"
Wu Feng didn't speak, but her shivering body seemed to indicate she was far from comfortable...
Next to them, Dai Yaoheng jokingly gestured with a fist, "Luochang, your temperature is still too high! Make it colder!"
Xiao Xiao schemed alongside, "Sister Ling, it would be best if you could shock them awake and get rid of their sleepiness in one go!"
Ling Luochang pursed her lips, her whole body bursting with intense Soul Power, as the temperature plummeted by dozens of degrees...
A few seconds later, a sharp inhale of breath could be heard, and Ningtian and Wu Feng were abruptly awakened by the cold...
Wu Feng looked at Ling Luochang in front of her, exclaiming, "Sister Ling, this is..."
Ningtian complained, "You scared me! I thought winter had come! I was sleeping so soundly!"
Dai Yaoheng irritably retorted, "It's only because you two couldn't be woken up by any other means that we had to resort to this!"
Qian Yu said indifferently, "Now that you're awake, let's go. The competition is about to start!"
Immediately, the group pushed open the door and headed downstairs, just in time to run into Beibei and his companions…
After a day of recovery, they were not exactly glowing with vigor, but they looked much better than they did yesterday!
Both teams extended their hands in greeting…
Qian Yu looked over his shoulder at Beibei and asked casually, "Big Brother Beibei, how's your recovery coming along?"
Beibei smiled and said, "My injuries have basically stabilized. I should be able to hold up in a duel! Thanks for yesterday, especially He Caitou."
He Caitou scratched his head and chuckled, "Heh heh, no need to be polite, we're all from the same academy!"
Xu Sanshi exclaimed, "I hope our two teams don't meet too soon. Otherwise, we'd have to let go of a shot at second place!"
Ma Xiaotao spoke with a serious tone, "We're likely to meet, as if the Sun-Moon Empire favors the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, they will definitely arrange for Tang Sect and Shrek Academy to clash!"
Dai Yaoheng pondered and said, "I don't think it's necessarily true! After all, this time it's Shrek that got the bye."
Wu Feng clenched her fists and said, "If we do meet, we won't go easy on you just because you're injured!"
Huo Yuhao responded with a light laugh, "Of course! But don't underestimate us too much either."
And Qian Yu turned his gaze to Tang Wutong, "Wutong, does your shoulder still hurt?"
Wang Dong glanced at her own shoulder, where the scar had already healed, and said playfully, "It's all fine now! But I won't lose to you in the clash!"
Qian Yu teased back, "Alright then! Just don't cry if you lose!"
Tang Wutong's face flushed, "Who's crying? You are!"
Hearing the conversation between the two, Tang Sect's companions were all astounded and said, "Wutong? Isn't she Wang Dong'er?"
Tang Wutong looked at the others and explained, "Everyone, Tang Wutong is my real name, and Wang Dong'er is just a name I used in male disguise!"
Xu Sanshi realized and said, "I see! But Tang Wutong is a nice name, eh! And it's the same surname as Tang Ya."
Beibei asked in surprise, "Could it be that you guys are actually related?"
Jiang Nannan nodded, "It's possible!"
Hearing that Tang Wutong shared the surname Tang, Tang Ya's eyes flickered for a moment…
…
Subsequently, the four teams which had made it into the semi-finals all arrived at the arena…
Beneath, the air was filled with heated discussions…
"The semi-finals at last! Today, we will decide the true champion!"
"Even though Tang Sect suffered an attack from the evil Soul Master team yesterday, they don't seem much worse for wear today. The champion? Is there still any question?"
"What are you talking about? Haven't you seen that Shrek Academy is also here? Their strength isn't weak either, okay?"
"No way, no way, are there really people who don't know just how strong the captain of Shrek Academy is? Blasting Martial Soul Fusion with a single punch—are you kidding me?"
At this moment, the elder, holding four lots in his hand, looked down at the spectators and said, "After countless rounds of elimination, we have finally arrived at the semi-finals, and this time, the teams themselves will draw lots to decide their opponents!"
"Then, the last two teams will compete in a duel for the championship! Now, please send one representative from each team to draw lots!"
Qian Yu turned to Ling Luochang and said, "Luochang, go draw the lots."
Upon hearing this, Ling Luochang walked out unfazed and took turns drawing lots with representatives from the other teams…
After three draws, the pairs were successfully matched!
They were Tang Sect against Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy!
Shrek Academy against Qianchen Battle Team!
