This was Quan Yi fast-forwarding time, advancing the scene to an hour later, showing the soul ring beginning to dissipate on its own.
During the dissipation process, Huo Wu could also see the power of laws maintaining the energy cohesion was also dissipating.
These threads of laws faded again, disappearing into the void.
Just as it appeared without a trace, it also left no trace when it disappeared.
Seeing this, Huo Wu felt a sense of awe arise within her.
“What terrifying power, if not for the Purple Golden Dragon Eyes, I wouldn't even realize that such terrifying power was hidden around me.
I seem to understand now the mentality of soul beasts when facing thunder tribulations; if I thought that I myself was being targeted by the rules of heaven and earth, I would definitely feel uneasy.”
Watching others being restricted, Huo Wu couldn't quite empathize.
But seeing that the Nine Hearted Begonia martial soul owners, who were also human and soul masters, and her family were also being restricted, Huo Wu suddenly felt some higher-level power approaching from behind her.
But in the face of this, Huo Wu found that she couldn't make an effective counterattack or defense.
Use fire to burn?
Resist with soul power?
Facing the invisible and intangible laws, what should she do?
Through the mental connection, Quan Yi felt the unease in Huo Wu's heart.
He comforted Huo Wu, saying, “All unease stems from the unknown; as long as we can deeply understand the principles behind it, then we may not be unable to find a way to deal with it.
Moreover, isn't there a good way to get in touch right now?”
Saying that, Quan Yi zoomed in on the scene of the Nine Hearted Begonia again and continued, “The martial soul, constructed by the power of laws, while being restricted by the rules, also becomes actively controllable by the soul master.
The powerful healing ability of the Nine Hearted Begonia is both the power of the martial soul itself, and also an extension of the power of laws.
Perhaps this Nine Hearted Begonia can provide us with a lot of information about the laws.”
Huo Wu also understood what Quan Yi meant and echoed, “So, you want to contact this girl?”
“No, not just her, I also want to contact her entire family.
If there are no accidents, there should be another member in their family who possesses the Nine Hearted Begonia martial soul, and whose cultivation will be higher than this girl's.”
Quan Yi's gaze never focused on one point, neglecting the overall picture.
Studying the laws was important, but Quan Yi couldn't let go of the Nine Hearted Begonia's perverted healing ability.
If he could incorporate their entire family into the Quan family's sphere of influence, it would not only be more convenient for research, but also greatly help improve the family's strength.
Huo Wu saw a huge desire in Quan Yi's eyes.
This desire was not a simple lust between men and women, but a greed even greater than lust.
Having greed is not a bad thing; humans are only able to generate strong motivation because they possess all kinds of strong desires.
Quan Yi was also able to grow so rapidly to his current realm because of this, and Huo Wu herself was the same.
However, the important thing is not to be devoured by one's own desires and become a slave to desire.
Quan Yi did a very good job in this regard; he was never blinded by desire and did things that violated his own bottom line.
Therefore, Huo Wu was not worried about this; instead, she directly asked Quan Yi about his plans:
“Looking at your expression, you should have a plan; how do you plan to attract them?
Judging from her appearance at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, her family should have deep ties with the empire.”
Quan Yi smiled and asked rhetorically, “If I tell them that there is hope to solve the 'curse' of the Nine Hearted Begonia martial soul, will they still stick to the empire?”
Quan Yi's smile at this moment was full of bewitchment, and the remarks he uttered had a powerful power of temptation.
But Quan Yi didn't feel a trace of admiration from this; on the contrary, it was full of teasing.
Quan Yi immediately left Huo Wu's sea of spirit, instantly came to the outside world, put his arm around Huo Wu, and used his big hands to mess up Huo Wu's hairstyle frantically.
“Hahaha, I was wrong, I was wrong, husband, please spare me.”
Huo Wu begged for mercy while laughing loudly, obviously not really admitting her mistake, which made Quan Yi only able to reach out to Huo Wu's soft ribs, which was the position she was most afraid of being tickled.
Seeing Quan Yi getting serious, Huo Wu was immediately frightened and trembled, holding Quan Yi's strong arm with both hands, and sincerely apologized to Quan Yi.
She didn't want to burst into laughter in public and attract attention.
Seeing Huo Wu admit defeat, Quan Yi was satisfied and retracted his hand.
Just as the two were whispering sweet nothings and openly flirting, the long-awaited Spirit Hall Academy team finally appeared.
However, disappointingly, facing opponents who were not strong, the members of the Golden Generation did not play and easily won.
However, this was still the second round, and it was understandable that everyone intentionally wanted to hide their strength.
The last of the three seeded teams, the Star Luo Royal Academy team, also appeared at the very end of the competition.
The strength of the Star Luo Royal Academy was obviously stronger than that of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Among them, there were six Soul Ancestor-level members, among whom, Davis and Zhu Zhuqing, as the captain and vice-captain, had their soul power levels as high as level 47 and level 46.
Such a team can be ranked among the top even in all academies.
It's just a pity that this year, the Blazing Fire, Spirit Hall, and Wind God academies stood in front of them.
If they accidentally encountered one of them, they might not be able to reach the final round of competition.
Fortunately, this was only the second round, and the Star Luo Royal Academy had not yet encountered a strong enemy, and they also successfully advanced to the next round of competition.
The competition on the second day of the finals also ended smoothly.
After resting for a day, Blazing Fire Academy will rejoin the competition starting tomorrow.
There are a total of ten teams that advanced to the third round.
It's just that, except for the two teams that were second in the division, there will be eight teams competing in the knockout round.
Among them, except for Wind God Academy, which has a bye and will not participate in the competition, Blazing Fire and the three seeded teams will appear in the third round of competition.
At this stage, even if these four teams are paired up to compete against each other, it is not impossible.
Except for the Blazing Fire Academy, the other three seeded teams will not have a very peaceful night tonight.
The night of restless thoughts passed, and the finals also came to the third round.
Starting today, the importance of the draw began to soar, and the people who were drawing lots also looked solemn.
After all, the knockout system cannot fully reflect the ranking of strength; sometimes, the element of luck will directly affect the ranking of a team.
