After a brief wait, the third round's match schedule was finally released.
The highly anticipated clash of titans was finally happening in this round.
And the unfortunate teams were the Spirit Hall Academy and the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
The collision of these two seed teams immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Besides these two teams, the Blazing Fire Academy, where Quan Yi was, and another seed team, the Star Luo Royal Academy, were matched against other, less powerful teams.
From this point of view, the Blazing Fire and Star Luo Royal Academies seemed to be a bit luckier than the previous two teams.
Among today's four matches, the Blazing Fire Academy's match was scheduled first.
The Star Luo Royal Academy's match was scheduled third, and the last match was between the Spirit Hall and Heaven Dou Royal teams.
"Since we're first, let's quickly finish our battle and then enjoy the matches later."
Quan Yi said with a hearty laugh, leading the team onto the stage.
Having teams directly concede defeat in the finals was no longer a thing; Quan Yi acknowledged this.
However, absolute differences in strength cannot be overcome by willpower alone.
In this match, Quan Yi didn't even use his spirit. He simply led the team to directly crush the opponent's formation, then had his teammates defeat them one by one.
Shockingly, Quan Yi, without using his spirit, shattered a Spirit Ancestor's fourth spirit skill with his bare hands.
Moreover, he himself was not injured in the slightest.
The terrifying physical quality that Quan Yi displayed here shocked everyone.
Because even a Spirit Sage with a beast spirit might not possess such a powerful physical body.
After two matches, the audience's 'student filter' for Quan Yi completely disappeared.
Now, they completely regarded Quan Yi as an excellent Spirit Sage powerhouse.
The first match only lasted a single exchange before the victor was decided.
The victorious Blazing Fire Academy returned to the resting area to await their next match.
The second and third matches of the third round were not particularly exciting, and the outcomes were as everyone predicted.
The Star Luo Royal Academy smoothly advanced to the fourth round.
Although the second match took a bit more time, overall, the first three matches of the day ended very quickly.
The sun had just reached its peak when the last match of the third round was about to begin.
Before the match, Quan Yi even went with Huo Wu to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's resting area to talk with Dugu Yan.
Before they could even get close, Dugu Yan spotted them and waved to them, saying, "Xiao Yi, Xiao Wu, I'm here."
Quan Yi also smiled and waved when he saw Dugu Yan, heading in her direction.
When the three, who hadn't seen each other in a while, reunited, happy smiles appeared on their faces.
"Sister Yan, long time no see. You seem to have become even more beautiful in the time we haven't seen each other."
Huo Wu immediately took Dugu Yan's hand upon arriving, getting close to Dugu Yan.
As fellow women, Dugu Yan and Huo Wu were clearly much closer than Quan Yi.
Although they hadn't spent much time together, their relationship had already progressed to the point of calling each other 'sister'.
After carefully observing Huo Wu's changes, a sly expression suddenly flashed in Dugu Yan's eyes, and she suddenly leaned close to Huo Wu's ear, whispering something to her.
Unexpectedly, Huo Wu's face suddenly turned red after hearing what she said.
She said in embarrassment and anger, "Sister Yan, I'm going to leave if you say any more of that."
Dugu Yan smiled and grabbed Huo Wu, apologizing repeatedly, "Okay, okay, it's my fault, I won't say it anymore."
Quan Yi watched the interaction between the two with no change on his face, but he was already cursing internally.
This Dugu Yan is just like her grandfather, too indecent.
Although she had lowered her voice, Quan Yi's ears and vibration perception were exceptionally sensitive. Even if she condensed her voice into a line, Quan Yi could still hear what she was saying.
But unexpectedly, his keen hearing allowed him to accidentally hear things he shouldn't have heard.
What men, what nourishment.
Those words were simply unbearable.
"I can't let these two be in contact for too long, otherwise, my wife might be led astray."
"Ahem, Sister Yan, the match is about to begin, but you don't seem that nervous."
Quan Yi interrupted the two and brought up the main topic.
Hearing Quan Yi say this, the happy expression on Dugu Yan's face immediately darkened.
"Alas, it's true that you can't see how big the world is until you step outside your own circle.
I never thought that there would be so many other talented peers in this world besides you two."
Dugu Yan couldn't ignore the threat posed by the Spirit Hall Academy. Even though she had made great progress in recent years, she had started late after all.
Faced with the Golden Generation, the advantages she had accumulated didn't seem to allow her to even touch their backs.
Seeing Dugu Yan become gloomy, Quan Yi instead provoked her, saying, "What's wrong, Sister Yan? Do you think you're going to lose and want to give up?"
Hearing this, Dugu Yan, who also had a fiery temper, felt anger surge into her head.
She glared and said, "What did you say?"
Dugu Yan was about to rush in front of Quan Yi to question him, but at this moment, her other shoulder was restrained.
When Dugu Yan looked back to see who it was, it turned out to be Yu Tianheng who had stopped her.
"Presumably, you are the genius youth that Yanzi mentioned.
However, you are wrong about one thing. Our Heaven Dou Royal Academy is not as weak as you think."
Yu Tianheng stood in front of Quan Yi, and a faint flame burned in his eyes as he stared directly at Quan Yi.
Seeing this, Quan Yi also smiled and said, "It seems Yanzi has good taste, not choosing a coward.
I look forward to your performance."
After Quan Yi had a brief conversation with Yu Tianheng, he looked at Dugu Yan and said, "You dare to get angry at me, so dealing with other people shouldn't be a problem either.
Oh right, Senior Dugu also asked me to pass on a message that if there is anything while he is away, you can always come to me.
That's all I wanted to say, we won't disturb you for the remaining preparation time.
Wife, let's go."
Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan stood side by side, quietly watching the departing figures.
After a while, Yu Tianheng said softly, "Yanzi, your two younger siblings are even better than I imagined."
The look in Dugu Yan's eyes as she looked at Quan Yi's back also softened a lot, but she still said, "Annoying little brother, just say you're worried about me, why bother with this act?
But oh well, who asked me to be the older sister? I won't continue to argue with him today."
Yu Tianheng couldn't help but laugh at the interesting relationship between Quan Yi and Dugu Yan's secret competition.
