As the match concluded, Huo Wu approached Quan Yi and offered a coquettish apology.
“I’m sorry, darling. I accidentally let the sound slip out. Please forgive me.”
Huo Wu put on a pitiful expression, her watery eyes fixed on Quan Yi. Even if he were truly angry, her expression would melt it away.
Besides, he wasn't angry to begin with.
He hadn't expected such a one-sided trend to emerge in this duel.
Although Quan Yi's level surpassed Shrek's by three major tiers, Shrek had also amplified the Clear Sky Hammer's power to the Soul Sage stage through their miraculous Seven-in-One Fusion Skill.
As a fellow Spirit Weapon user, when he saw that huge Clear Sky Hammer, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda within him issued a severe warning.
Under the Clear Sky Hammer's powerful Spirit pressure, he could feel the limitations imposed on his own Spirit.
It was precisely because of this ability of the Clear Sky Hammer that it possessed a great advantage among Spirits of the same level.
However, facing the Clear Sky Hammer, Quan Yi seemed to be unaffected in the slightest. He even displayed the extraordinary qualities of a top-tier Spirit Weapon user.
If Tang San relied more on the power of his Spirit, then Quan Yi's situation was one where the Spirit and Soul Master complemented each other, maximizing each other's power.
It should be known that Quan Yi didn't use any Spirit Skills, relying entirely on his own control to unleash the Spirit's potential.
Looking at Quan Yi's figure, Ning Fengzhi's regard for the Quan family continued to increase.
He turned his head to look at Quan Li and Yun Qiong, who were proud of Quan Yi, and praised:
“At such an age, to have such strength, it's truly unknown what heights he will reach in the future.”
Regarding the praise, Quan Li showed no humility whatsoever, but laughed loudly, “Haha, thank you for the praise, Sect Master Ning. Our little Yi has never let me down.
It was no surprise this time either, that he actually knocked away the Clear Sky Hammer.
Haha, worthy of being my, Quan Li's, grandson! He truly brings honor to our Quan family!”
Quan Li's smug smile made the corner of Ning Fengzhi's eye twitch. He had originally wanted to remind Quan Li to be mindful of keeping Quan Yi low-profile, but he didn't expect the old man to be even more extravagant than the young one.
“Ahem, Elder Quan, I must remind you that Quan Yi's actions may provoke dissatisfaction from the Clear Sky School.
Quan Yi has not fully matured yet, so you still need to pay more attention.”
Ning Fengzhi calmed down the elated Quan Li and issued a kind reminder.
Although it was just a friendly competition between the younger generation, due to the evaluation that Quan Yi had spoken, once it spread, this duel would no longer be just a competition between the younger generation.
It might turn into an indirect conflict between the Iron Fist family and the Clear Sky School, these two major forces.
After all, what Quan Yi did was indeed a provocation to the Clear Sky School's authority.
Quan Li, upon hearing Ning Fengzhi's reminder, replied nonchalantly, “What courage could a secluded sect have?
Even if they really come, our Quan family isn't afraid of them.
Coincidentally, after watching this match, I also want to experience the power of the Clear Sky Hammer.”
Quan Li's tone was filled with disdain for the Clear Sky School. He even began to rub his palms together, putting on an eager expression.
In contrast, an awkward expression appeared on Ning Fengzhi's face.
He hadn't expected Quan Li to be so straightforward.
Although what he said seemed very arrogant, it was indeed as he said. The Clear Sky School's seclusion was not glorious.
On the continent, forces that reached a certain level would have some understanding of this matter.
The Clear Sky School's disappearance back then, euphemistically called seclusion, but in reality, it was more like an escape.
In order to avoid trouble, they even abandoned their four affiliated families, such a sect, Ning Fengzhi himself found it difficult to respect.
However, as one of the Upper Three Sects, they could be considered potential allies. As the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it was difficult for Ning Fengzhi to chime in at this time, so he could only show an awkward but polite smile.
“Slap!”
Seeing Quan Li becoming increasingly smug, Yun Qiong reached out and slapped him.
“You old man, you only know how to speak recklessly. You've lived for so long, can't you learn to be more steady?”
After hitting Quan Li, Yun Qiong nodded apologetically to Ning Fengzhi, “I'm sorry, Sect Master Ning, thank you for the reminder, we will pay attention to this.”
After being hit by Yun Qiong, Quan Li immediately became honest. Ning Fengzhi also laughed and said, “It doesn't matter, I was just giving a reminder, it's nothing.”
During the conversation, Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, quietly observed Quan Li and Yun Qiong.
A smile was on her face, but no one knew what she was thinking in her heart.
The first round of the competition was reopened shortly after.
The Spirit Hall's speed in repairing the arena was still very fast.
On the first day of the competition, because thirty teams participated, the duels did not end until dusk.
For Blazing Academy, they had a bye in the second round.
Therefore, they would directly enter the third round.
On this free second day, Quan Yi and the others did not spend it in their rooms.
Because in this second round, the three seeded teams with byes would appear in the arena.
Among them, the Spirit Hall Academy Team had not appeared in the rest area yesterday, so this would be their first meeting.
Sitting in the Blazing Academy's rest area, Quan Yi and Huo Wu were quietly waiting. As the start of the match approached, finally, this mysterious Spirit Hall Academy Team appeared in the arena.
Their clothes were embroidered with six symbolic Spirit Hall patterns, and the team in white uniforms slowly entered the arena.
Among them, the three leading people were the most eye-catching. All three of them wore a book-shaped badge on the left chest.
This was the Purple Record Medal personally awarded by Pope Bibi Dong when they obtained their fifth Spirit Ring.
It was a symbol of their honor and also an object that distinguished them from others.
“Are these the members of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation that everyone is talking about?
They don't seem like much, do they?”
Huo Wu leaned lazily against Quan Yi's side, commenting on the Spirit Hall Academy Team very casually.
And 'coincidentally', when Huo Wu said this, the Spirit Hall Academy Team was passing in front of their rest area.
As soon as these words came out, the Spirit Hall team, who had been walking their own path, stopped and looked in unison in the direction of the voice.
