The Quarterfinals have ended.
The list of the top four academy teams has just been released.
They are as follows:
The Hall of Worship Team, which crushed the competition with an undefeated record; the seeded Spirit Hall Team; the Shrek Team, hailed as the 'dark horse' of this competition; and the newly formed New Divine Wind Academy.
During the fourth match of the Quarterfinals...
After Blazing Academy conceded...
They resolutely decided to cooperate with the Divine Wind Team.
The two academy teams combined their strongest members.
Forming a brand new team: the New Divine Wind Team.
Regarding this move...
No one said much; after all, they hadn't broken any rules.
The tournament rules never stated that two academy teams couldn't merge into one.
Soon...
The results of the semifinal draw were out.
Hall of Worship Team VS Shrek Team!
Spirit Hall Team VS New Divine Wind Team!
Inside the New Divine Wind Team's rest area.
"Feng Xiaotian, you bastard!"
"What kind of rotten luck is that? How did you draw the lots?"
"Why is our opponent the Spirit Hall Team?!"
Huo Wu stood with her hands on her hips, fuming with rage.
She scolded Feng Xiaotian like he was a dog.
Although, he really was quite the simp.
The other team members kept their heads down, none of them daring to make a sound.
Even Huo Wu's brother, Huo Wushuang...
Was currently very afraid of his own sister.
When he heard from Feng Xiaotian that their next opponent was the Spirit Hall Team...
Huo Wu was absolutely livid.
The main reason she chose to cooperate with the Divine Wind Team...
One of the biggest reasons was that she wanted to fight Jin Mian again.
To avenge her loss to Jin Mian during the Promotion Matches.
Who would have thought?
This guy Feng Xiaotian had such stinking luck.
He actually drew the Spirit Hall.
Feng Xiaotian could only smile bitterly: "Sister Huo Wu, you can't entirely blame me for this; drawing lots is purely a matter of luck."
"Besides, I actually think that drawing the Spirit Hall Team as an opponent isn't necessarily a bad thing."
"Everyone has seen Jin Mian's strength; he's simply more of a freak than a human."
"Fortunately, we didn't run into him this time; otherwise, the result certainly wouldn't be much better than the Star Luo Royal Team's."
"On the contrary, if the opponent is the Spirit Hall Team, we might still have a fifty percent chance of winning."
Hearing this explanation...
Huo Wu's anger clearly subsided quite a bit.
Her originally hot-headed mind also calmed down significantly.
However, being the tsundere she was, she still turned her gaze to Feng Xiaotian and said coquettishly, "Who gave you permission to call me'Sister Huo Wu'? Are we really that close?"
"I... you..." Feng Xiaotian felt helpless.
Back during the Promotion Matches, after his crushing defeat at the hands of Jin Mian...
He had intended to give up on pursuing Huo Wu.
Yet, a few days later, Huo Wu had come to him on her own initiative.
Saying she would give him one more chance.
And that was...
If the Divine Wind Team and Blazing Fire Team joined forces and defeated Jin Mian in the Grand Finals...
Then Huo Wu would agree to marry him.
Hearing those words...
The flame in Feng Xiaotian's heart that had long since been extinguished...
Was instantly reignited.
Without any hesitation, he shamelessly agreed.
But who could have predicted that the final draw result would be... sigh.
Feng Xiaotian let out a long sigh.
Could it be that he really fit that old saying?
A simp, a simp, simping until he has nothing left?
But then he shook his head repeatedly.
Thinking to himself...
"No, that's not right!"
"I'm not like those other simps."
"I truly love Sister Huo Wu!"
Huo Wushuang, who had been acting as a bystander, saw Feng Xiaotian being rendered speechless by his sister's verbal assault.
He quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing. It's just one little draw; is it worth such a big temper?" After glancing at his sister, he continued, "The urgent matter right now should be how we are going to face the enemy."
"I believe everyone has seen the Spirit Hall Team's matches."
"Their strength is also not to be underestimated."
"We should think about what tactics to use to defeat them in the upcoming match."
"As long as we can make it to the finals, we'll still be able to meet the Hall of Worship."
"When that time comes, Huo Wu, won't you be able to compete with Jin Mian?"
It must be said...
Huo Wushuang was indeed Huo Wu's brother.
With just a few words, he had grasped what she was thinking.
Hearing Huo Wushuang's words...
Huo Wu fell silent.
Afterwards, they began to study their tactics... while on the other side.
Inside the Shrek Team's rest area.
The atmosphere here was exceptionally heavy.
Everyone sat in a circle, their gazes fixed uniformly on the small slip in Tang San's hand.
Looking at what was written on the slip: Hall of Worship Team!
A look of worry appeared on everyone's face.
Soon...
Flender walked over.
Ever since Shrek Academy entered the finals and successively stood out from the Round of 16 and Quarterfinal matches...
His mouth hadn't closed from grinning.
Because this result was the best among all the students he had ever led.
Next time Shrek Academy recruited students, he could use the ranking from this competition to swindle some talented students into joining the academy.
"Little freaks, how is it? Who is the opponent for the next round?" Flender asked with an expectant look.
"It's the Hall of Worship Team."
Ma Hongjun responded with a mournful face.
Hearing the answer...
Flender's originally joyful expression immediately dropped.
Oscar said in a low tone, "Sigh, it looks like this is the end for us."
"Jin Mian's strength is too terrifying, not to mention there's also a powerful Spirit Ability level Support-type Soul Master."
Dai Mubai didn't care at this point, sitting to the side putting on makeup.
After all, Dai Weisi, whom he feared most, had already been defeated.
His attention had also definitely shifted to Jin Mian.
So he was already fantasizing about a beautiful life in the future.
"Third Brother, have you thought of any good tactics?" Xiao Wu looked at Tang San, who was silent, and asked.
Tang San listened to their words.
He first glanced in the direction where Jin Mian was.
Then he smiled confidently: "Everyone, don't worry. Isn't it just one Jin Mian? I can defeat him easily."
"Third Brother, you're joking, right? Jin Mian's strength is unfathomable."
"If we fight him, we have absolutely no chance of winning."
Ma Hongjun said dejectedly.
Tang San, however, was unhurried and said slowly, "Who says there's no chance? According to my preliminary estimation, if I were to duel him one-on-one, the win rate should be three to seven!"
"In three seconds, I can knock him down seven times!"
Tang San was full of confidence.
The others had strange expressions on their faces after hearing this.
After all, when they fought the Heaven Water Team earlier...
Facing the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of the two sisters, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yueer, they had suffered quite a bit.
It took a great deal of effort to defeat them.
But looking at Jin Mian...
When dealing with Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul Fusion Skill—Hell White Tiger...
He ended the battle with a single punch.
One must know that Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul Fusion Skill was clearly much stronger than Shui Bing'er and Shui Yueer's.
How could they possibly defeat Jin Mian?
Tang San saw his teammates' doubts.
And gave an explanation..."}],
