Quan Yi's warning immediately attracted everyone's attention, but deep down, they didn't think that Tian Shui Academy posed much of a threat to them.
Indeed, Chi Huo Academy had an overwhelming advantage over Tian Shui Academy, but that wasn't a reason for them to underestimate their opponents.
Unknowingly, the power they possessed had instead fueled the arrogance in their hearts.
Moreover, they weren't even aware of this point.
Quan Yi didn't remind them because this was not something an outsider could advise on; it required the individual to deeply realize their own mistakes before there was any hope of correction.
Thinking of this, Quan Yi also began to look forward to tomorrow's match.
The third match of the ninth round on the ninth day of the promotion tournament, the match between Chi Huo Academy and Tian Shui Academy, officially began.
On the Tian Shui Academy side, from the students to the teachers, all were beautiful women of exceptional looks; they could create a pleasing scene just by standing there.
However, today, the atmosphere of Tian Shui Academy seemed unusually heavy; their gazes were firm as they stared at the Chi Huo Academy across from them, their eyes flashing with resolute determination.
In the team, Shui Bing'er, the youngest but strongest captain of the Tian Shui team, looked past the others in the Chi Huo team and locked her gaze directly onto Huo Wushuang, who was positioned towards the back.
The shocking scene of Huo Wushuang defeating Yu Tianxin a few days ago was something she couldn't forget for a long time.
As the captain, and also as a genius soul master of her generation, her inner pride did not allow her to back down when faced with difficulties.
Today, their goal was to force Huo Wushuang out, to prove their strength and determination.
On the opposite side, Huo Wushuang also felt Shui Bing'er's gaze; the two captains' eyes met across the space.
From Shui Bing'er's gaze, Huo Wushuang saw no hint of retreat, only a seemingly calm, yet turbulent, surging fighting spirit.
The corners of his mouth curled up, and an excited expression appeared on his face.
"Interesting.
I look forward to your performance."
Huo Wushuang opened his mouth and conveyed his message through lip movements; Shui Bing'er seemed to have received it, and she snorted softly before turning around to give her teammates final instructions and encouragement.
On the Chi Huo team's side, they weren't too nervous; in their eyes, there was only a desire and excitement for battle; they couldn't wait to take the stage.
Their strategy was the same as before, to take the stage in the original order.
Wang Xing, as the first player from their team, stepped onto the stage.
However, the first player that Tian Shui Academy arranged to appear was beyond their expectations.
Because the player they arranged was actually Qiu Ruoshui, one of their only three Soul Elders, and also a power attack-type soul master who served as the team's assault vanguard.
This person's soul power level had reached level 42, which was equivalent to Wang Xing's soul power level.
Her martial soul was a water-attribute fish-type martial soul; the specific martial soul was unknown because the other party had not announced it, and there were no very obvious characteristics, so they had no way of knowing.
However, unlike other teams, arranging a valuable Soul Elder-level combat force to appear in the first position against Wang Xing was obviously unusual.
Wang Xing's gaze suddenly became sharp, and he also felt some pressure in his heart.
At this moment, the referee's announcement began to sound from the side.
Wang Xing immediately activated Fiery Star, condensing, compressing, and preparing to quickly unleash the Fiery Star Ray.
On the opposite side, after summoning her martial soul, fine fish scales appeared on Qiu Ruoshui's cheeks, indicating that she had completed the beast soul summoning.
Qiu Ruoshui lunged towards Wang Xing at the first possible moment.
Moreover, her first soul ring lit up instantly; in an instant, the scales that had only appeared on the side of her cheeks quickly spread to every position on her body, forming a dense and flawless fish scale armor.
Immediately afterwards, her second soul ring lit up, and a huge blue light suddenly appeared on her chest, enveloping her body.
Like water, the crystal-clear blue light, unlike the dazzling light that hurt the eyes, did not obscure Qiu Ruoshui's figure.
It was like a transparent giant bubble, enveloping her and rushing towards Wang Xing quickly.
Facing a Soul Elder, what Wang Xing feared most was allowing the other party to get close and unleash large-scale or long-range soul skill attacks to harm his main body.
At this time, Wang Xing's Fiery Star Ray was successfully condensed; in order to guard against the opponent's long-range attack, he didn't hesitate at all and instantly unleashed his proud Fiery Star Ray.
This time, he didn't hold back and directly released three-fifths of his energy.
The thick, blazing white ray, two fingers wide, instantly arrived within the giant blue light.
However, when the two collided, the blue light didn't show too much defensive power and was directly pierced through.
However, at this moment, the giant blue light suddenly exploded like a bursting bubble.
At the same time, a strong impact force spread from around the blue light, instantly reaching Wang Xing's face.
Most of these participants had fought against Wang Xing, and they were very clear about how difficult it was to attack Wang Xing's main body.
All their efforts were to give his main body a solid blow.
But no one had done it before Wang Xing ran out of soul power and left the stage.
However, unexpectedly, someone had fulfilled their long-cherished wish today, which made them extremely excited.
Wang Xing, who was in the air, felt the huge impact in front of him, and the Fiery Star energy in his chest suddenly showed signs of disorder.
Fortunately, Wang Xing, who had taken whale glue and absorbed a nine-thousand-year soul ring, was not as fragile in terms of physical fitness as he looked.
Fortunately, it was just a long-range impact force; most of the water attribute energy was offset by the frontal ray; otherwise, the collision of water and fire would have caused a greater explosion in his chest.
Wang Xing forcibly suppressed the disordered Fiery Star caused by the impact force and the infiltration of some water elements, and his body quickly released its force in the air, preparing for a safe landing.
But just at this moment, a blue figure rushed out of the water mist caused by the direct collision of water and fire.
Qiu Ruoshui didn't fall to the ground because of the ray attack; instead, she rushed towards him unscathed.
Wang Xing looked at Qiu Ruoshui, who was about to reach his attack range, in disbelief, and widened his eyes.
However, if you look closely from the side, you can observe that on the outside of one of Qiu Ruoshui's arms, there is a blood-colored scratch that extends straight from the forearm to the entire arm.
In fact, this was using the power of water attribute soul power and fish scale defense to guide and change the direction of the ray.
