"Ah~ alright, sorry to bother you, referee."
After being stunned for a moment, Shui Yue'er could only sigh helplessly and accept the result.
But at the same time, Shui Yue'er felt extremely frustrated internally, losing the match because she couldn't fly was truly stifling.
Meanwhile, Tian Shui Academy's subsequent opponents were extremely happy. Tian Shui Academy's defeat and their two main powerhouses being severely injured, with uncertainty about their ability to participate further, was undoubtedly the best outcome for them.
After more than twenty days of knockout matches, the preliminary rounds were nearing their end. The Four Element Academies, led by Shenfeng Academy, could be said to have shown overwhelming dominance, essentially securing the top four spots. Precisely because of this, the competition for the fifth qualifying spot was exceptionally fierce.
All academies that still had a glimmer of hope were practically giving their all to compete for that final fifth spot. However, with Shrek Academy and Elephant Armor Academy blocking the way ahead, the chances of advancing were slim.
This book is first published on the entire network.
But this time, the unexpected incident involving Tian Shui Academy's captain and vice-captain gave them a glimmer of hope.
Although Tian Shui Academy was still very strong without Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu, they were no longer as unreachable as before, offering a hope of victory.
More importantly, the most favorable contenders for the top five qualifying spots, Elephant Armor Academy and Shrek Academy, had already battled Tian Shui Academy and couldn't enjoy this benefit. If they could defeat Tian Shui Academy in the subsequent matches, then they would still have hope of contending for the top five.
"This was truly a spectacular battle, a self-created soul skill versus a spirit fusion skill. Let's give a round of applause to Shenfeng Academy and Tian Shui Academy, thanking them for bringing us this wonderful match."
At this moment, the host also recovered from his shock and quickly used a sound amplifying soul tool to speak to the audience.
"Clap clap clap~~"
In an instant, enthusiastic applause erupted throughout the venue. Today's battle between Shenfeng Academy and Tian Shui Academy could be said to be the most magnificent match since the Tian Dou City division tournament began.
Not only in this All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, but even in previous Tian Dou division tournaments, such a spectacular battle had never occurred, and it was highly unlikely to happen again in the future.
Even the people in the VIP section sincerely clapped their hands. Then, while clapping, Great Emperor Xue Ye turned his head and said to the people beside him, "Sect Master Ning, Bishop Salas, Bone Douluo, what do you think of this match?"
"Simply breathtaking!"
Bone Douluo Gu Rong sighed, saying with some emotion, "Indeed, the waves behind push the waves ahead of the Yangtze River. At their age, I was far from being as powerful as these young ones."
Just now, whether it was Feng Xiaotian's displayed self-created soul skill or the spirit fusion skill of Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu, they had both reached the level of a Soul Emperor. No matter how narcissistic Gu Rong was, he couldn't claim to have possessed the combat power of a Soul Emperor in his early twenties.
"Indeed, but what I care about more is a sentence spoken by that girl from Tian Shui Academy during the battle."
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi said with a smile to Xue Ye.
"Oh, what was said?"
Xue Ye became interested and quickly pressed Ning Fengzhi for details.
Ning Fengzhi replied, "When that girl saw that boy from Shenfeng Academy use that fused Wind Blade move, she said, 'Isn't this Mo Hui's self-created soul skill? Why can you also use it?' This indicates that the fused Wind Blade move displayed by Feng Xiaotian was very likely created by Mo Hui."
"Created by Mo Hui?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Ye was immediately taken aback. Since it was a self-created soul skill created by Mo Hui, why did everyone at Shenfeng Academy seem to know it?
But soon, Xue Ye reacted and his gaze towards Mo Hui became fervent once again.
A self-created soul skill that can be taught, and everyone at Shenfeng Academy has learned it. What is this? This is the potential to found a sect!
Why could the Haotian Sect become the head of the Upper Three Sects? Wasn't it because the Haotian Sect possessed various self-created soul skills that could be passed down through generations, coupled with Tang Chen's emergence and the powerful self-created soul skills he created, that allowed the Haotian Hammer to stand out from other top-tier spirit tools and gain the reputation as the number one spirit tool in the world?
With the talent Mo Hui is currently displaying, he might not be unable to become the next Tang Chen.
While Xue Ye was looking at Mo Hui with fervent eyes, Bishop Salas was also watching Mo Hui below with flickering eyes.
The talent Mo Hui is currently displaying is too astonishing, even surpassing the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall. If he cannot join the Spirit Hall, he might pose a threat to their Spirit Hall in the future.
"It seems I must request His Holiness the Pope to increase efforts to recruit Mo Hui. If he is drawn away by other forces, that would be quite undesirable," Bishop Salas thought to himself.
The talent Mo Hui is currently displaying is very valuable. If he can join the Spirit Hall, that would naturally be for the best. In that case, as long as Mo Hui lives, their Spirit Hall is bound to gain another Elder or Enshrined in the future.
But if Mo Hui is unwilling to join the Spirit Hall, then they cannot be blamed for being ruthless. No force is willing to let such a peerless genius who does not belong to their side grow up and take a share of the already limited resources.
This point is the same even for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which is friendly towards Mo Hui. Although they wouldn't care about ordinary geniuses, when they encounter a peerless genius who truly has the potential to become a Title Douluo and is not on their side, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also can't help but want to eliminate him in advance.
In the original work, Bone Douluo had once suggested to Ning Fengzhi that Tang San should be killed. However, Ning Fengzhi ultimately did not agree due to various considerations such as strategic alliances, Tang San having shown kindness to Ning Rongrong and having a good relationship with her, and the possible retaliation from Tang Hao and even the Haotian Sect after doing so.
In the Shenfeng Academy area, Feng Xiaotian woke up under the treatment of his teacher and was slightly stunned as he looked at the crowd surrounding him.
"I'm sorry, I lost!"
Immediately after, Feng Xiaotian recalled the scene where he was defeated by Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu's spirit fusion skill and said somewhat dejectedly.
Although the opponent's spirit fusion skill was indeed strong, he was still a Soul King after all. For a Soul King to be defeated by a Soul Elder, it was ultimately not very glorious to speak of.
Upon hearing this, Mo Hui, who was sitting beside him, said indifferently, "It's good that you know it was your own reason. Consider this a reminder. If you are still so careless next time, don't blame me for hitting you."
Regarding Feng Xiaotian's failure, Mo Hui's evaluation was that it was entirely his own doing. Tian Shui Academy had already exposed their spirit fusion skill in the battle against Shrek Academy, but Feng Xiaotian, knowing that the opponent had a spirit fusion skill, did not seize the opportunity to eliminate one of them immediately. So, who could be blamed for the loss?
It should be known that although Feng Xiaotian was an assault-type Soul Master, his spirit, the Rapid Wind Twin Headed Wolf, allowed him to possess speed no less than that of a agility-attack-type Soul Master of the same level. As long as Feng Xiaotian wanted to, with his cultivation as a Soul King, taking down a Soul Elder was not a problem at all.
As for Shui Bing'er's Kang Ju Bing Huan (Repel Ice Ring), the solution was also very simple. He just needed to use an Air Blade Multiple Combination or any powerful soul skill to bait it out.
Even if Shui Bing'er cultivated the Kang Ju Bing Huan (Repel Ice Ring) to perfection, it still had a cooldown. The fighting platform was only thirty meters in diameter. This distance, combined with the cooldown time of Shui Bing'er's soul skill, was enough for Feng Xiaotian to rush in and take down Xue Wu.
