Chapter 585 The Shura Field Reappears
Ning Rongrong is gone.
After refusing Yu Xiaogang's request, he turned and left without hesitation, leaving Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, the master and disciple, standing there, looking embarrassed and bewildered.
Yu Xiaogang's intentions failed, and Tang San did not obtain the method for cultivating the Distraction Control Technique from Ning Rongrong.
Without the gratitude owed to her by the celestial herb Qiluo Tulip, the shrewd young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School wouldn't be foolish enough to give away her sect's unique secret technique to Tang San for free.
Even if they are classmates or teammates now, it's impossible.
"This girl is really not easy to fool; she's quite stubborn."
After Ning Rongrong left, the master, with an awkward yet somber expression, sighed softly, then turned to look at his good disciple, Tang San:
"Don't worry, Xiao San, I will definitely get my hands on this distraction control technique for you. It will be of great help to your future path to becoming a powerful person, and will make your journey much smoother."
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Tang San's expression became somewhat subtle.
He certainly wanted to learn this distraction control technique, but since it was a secret technique passed down by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he dared not ask for it easily.
He would certainly be happy to have the master help him obtain the secret technique of distraction control.
Thinking about it this way, Tang San couldn't help but feel a little tempted, and pretended to hesitate before saying:
"But... this distraction control technique is a unique secret of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and it's unlikely to be easily passed on to outsiders, right? Besides, Rongrong already refused."
Yu Xiaogang smiled nonchalantly:
"It's alright. Since we can't get it from Ning Rongrong, let's start with her father, Ning Fengzhi."
"Start with Sect Leader Ning?" Tang San was somewhat taken aback and couldn't help but ask, "Will he agree?"
Yu Xiaogang laughed, his smile brimming with confidence:
"Don't worry, since I brought it up, I'm sure Ning Fengzhi won't refuse."
"As you just heard, this distraction control technique was not originally unique to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. It was only because it was useful to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School that it was passed down."
"The technique of distraction control is important to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but it is not a secret that cannot be passed on."
"If I'm not mistaken, Ning Fengzhi would be more than happy to let you learn it. That way, you'll owe the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School a favor."
"Ning Fengzhi, as the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, is a far-sighted figure. Both you and your father are people he values highly and tries to win over."
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Tang San's eyes lit up instantly, and at that moment, Yu Xiaogang looked at him again:
"Don't rush this matter. I'll go with you to discuss it with Ning Fengzhi tomorrow."
"As a member of the organizing committee of the Elite Soul Master Competition, Ning Fengzhi will definitely be on-site for the next month after the start of the preliminary rounds. We can just go to the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena to find him."
"Also, tomorrow will be the first day of the preliminary rounds. I hope you and the other members of the Shrek Seven Devils will be there to watch, especially the match between Spirit Hall Academy and Canghui Academy."
At this point, Yu Xiaogang paused slightly, his expression turning serious:
"According to the information obtained from the official competition, Canghui Academy's overall strength is not particularly strong, but the specific strength of the Spirit Hall team is shrouded in mystery."
"Aside from their reported names, ages, and martial spirits, no one knows their spirit power level, spirit ring configuration, or the skills granted by their spirit rings."
"But I think the team that the Spirit Hall sent is definitely a powerful team."
"I even have a feeling that they will be your key opponents in the qualifiers, formidable rivals."
As Yu Xiaogang spoke, he glanced at Tang San, whose expression had also turned serious:
"Therefore, we must make preparations first."
"As the saying goes, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.' The match between Spirit Hall Academy and Canghui Academy is a good opportunity to understand their specific strengths."
"Although Canghui Academy's strength isn't that great, they should be able to force out some of the opponent's strength."
"I hope that you seven little monsters will be there to observe the match, understand the strength of the Spirit Hall Academy team, and find their weaknesses so that you can deal with them easily when you encounter them later."
Finally, Yu Xiaogang's gaze fell on Tang San, and he said earnestly:
"Xiao San, I have high expectations for you Shrek Seven Devils. The preliminary rounds are just the beginning. Your goal should be the qualifying rounds, the finals, and even the ultimate championship."
"But before that, we absolutely must defeat the Spirit Hall team, do you understand?"
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Tang San felt a surge of excitement, his spirits rising:
"Yes, teacher, I will definitely live up to your expectations."
"Very good." Yu Xiaogang nodded with satisfaction, looking like he thought Tang San was a promising student, and stepped forward to pat Tang San's shoulder twice.
Immediately afterwards, the master and apprentice looked at each other and laughed at the same time, as if they had already foreseen that the Spirit Hall's second team would eventually be used as a stepping stone to be trampled under their feet.
…………
Time quickly moved to the next day.
Yesterday marked the opening ceremony of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, and the match between the Shrek Seven Devils and Auckland Academy was merely an appetizer.
The real main course will be served today for all of you, whether you've been eagerly anticipating it or are impatiently waiting to taste it.
Apart from the Shrek Seven Devils team representing the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and the Oakland Academy team, which was swept and defeated, all other academy teams will start their first round of matches on this day.
Of course, there is also a team that received a bye.
Compared to previous All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournaments, this year the Heaven Dou City division has one more participating team, namely the Spirit Hall Second Team.
There are a total of 29 teams from all the advanced soul master academies participating in the competition. With opponents determined by drawing lots and the teams playing against each other in pairs, one team will definitely receive a bye.
The team that received a bye in the first round of the qualifiers happened to be Blazing Fire Academy, one of the five elemental academies.
Blazing Academy had no matches to play today, but they all came to the Heaven Dou Arena to watch the games from the stands prepared for the participating students.
After all, gathering intelligence on other teams is an extremely important part of the qualifiers.
However, Huo Wu did not stay with her brother Huo Wushuang and her teammates, but stayed with Ye Qifeng and came with him to the rest room specially prepared for the second team of the Spirit Hall.
To be precise, Huo Wu hadn't returned home all night.
After the opening ceremony yesterday, Ye Qifeng took her for a leisurely stroll around Tiandou City for the entire afternoon. It wasn't until near dusk that he led her to Lanba Academy.
They met Liu Erlong in a cabin deep in the forest, and the three of them had dinner together and stayed there overnight.
Perhaps it's because their martial souls are both fire-attribute, with similar attributes, and their temperaments and personalities are also similar, both being straightforward and cheerful.
Liu Erlong accepted Huo Wu's existence and became familiar with her even faster than when she first met Qian Renxue.
It felt like we had met too late.
This surprised and delighted Ye Qifeng. He had been somewhat worried that the two women, one big and one small, might not get along well after meeting.
As it turned out, after Liu Erlong and Huo Wu met, the scene was unexpectedly harmonious, which instantly dispelled Ye Qifeng's worries.
Of course, nothing particularly interesting happened that night; Ye Qifeng slept by himself.
After not seeing each other for many years, Huo Wu's heart and eyes were full of Ye Qifeng. She didn't mind truly giving herself to him, since they had both decided that the other was their partner for the rest of their lives, and they were both adults.
Even if something indescribable happens, it's a natural and consensual outcome.
However, Huo Wu did not succeed.
Whether it was Liu Erlong secretly keeping something in mind or not, that very night he pulled Huo Wu into his room to whisper to her.
Ye Qifeng was naturally left alone, sleeping until dawn.
…………
Let's turn our attention back to the lounge.
Qian Renxue is not here today; she has returned to the Tian Dou Imperial Palace to handle state affairs.
All she needed to do was impersonate the Heavenly Dou Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, make an appearance at the opening ceremony, and announce the start of the Elite Soul Master Competition. After that, there was nothing more for her to do; whether she was present or not was irrelevant.
Anyway, the Elite Soul Master Tournament has someone specifically watching over it, so even if any problems arise, the organizing committee will handle them.
The seven beautiful girls from the Spirit Hall's second team were also absent; they had a match to play today and had already left the rest room to prepare for their game.
Huo Wu thought she could finally enjoy some alone time with Ye Qifeng, but to her annoyance, two extremely beautiful girls showed up uninvited, shattering all her beautiful fantasies.
Most importantly, those two girls were just as beautiful and had figures as her, and they were clearly there for her boyfriend, Ye Qifeng.
Eyes don't lie; Huo Wu knew those two girls' eyes all too well.
That's exactly the look in her eyes when she looks at her boyfriend, Ye Qifeng—full of adoration, love, and passion; in short, deep affection.
Huo Wu could feel a strong threat from their eyes.
The two uninvited girls were naturally Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
They had already agreed to meet Ye Qifeng together while Qian Renxue was away and tell him their feelings.
They had finally gotten this great opportunity, but unexpectedly, they encountered someone else entirely.
Although they felt embarrassed and ashamed, this time, they were determined not to back down.
Even when faced with Huo Wu's puffed-up cheeks, glaring eyes, and angry warnings, as well as her protective behavior of trying to hide Ye Qifeng behind her, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling did not back down in the slightest.
Under Huo Wu's complex and unspoken gaze, they finally confessed their true feelings to Ye Qifeng in front of her.
This made Huo Wu both angry and anxious, yet helpless.
There's nothing she can do; her boyfriend is just so outstanding, there are always women trying to steal him away from her.
Huo Wu was mentally prepared for the fact that Ye Qifeng could not belong to her alone, and she had realized this a long time ago. However, when she actually faced it, she still felt somewhat flustered and unhappy.
Two against one, Huo Wu knew she had no chance of winning.
After all, the other party is number two, and she is number one.
Moreover, the two girls opposite her were clearly just as outstanding as she was, and Huo Wu obviously didn't have that much confidence in being able to beat them.
At this moment, Huo Wu suddenly missed her best friend Shui Bing'er terribly. If she were here, the two of them working together, their sisterly bond would be unbreakable, and they might even be able to overshadow each other.
It's a pity that Shui Bing'er isn't here.
Like the seven girls in the second team, Shui Bing'er also has a match to play today. She is already preparing to go on stage. Although she may not actually play, she still has to show her face on stage.
The three women and the sudden chaotic scene left Ye Qifeng completely bewildered. Fortunately, Qian Renxue wasn't there, otherwise his headache might have been even greater.
Huo Wu, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling, the three girls were arguing endlessly over Ye Qifeng. Well, actually, it wasn't exactly arguing endlessly, since they weren't actually fighting.
It's just that Ye Qifeng's charm was too great, and the three girls all revolved around him. No matter what Ye Qifeng said, they couldn't stop their enthusiasm.
Huo Wu and Dugu Yan clung tightly to Ye Qifeng's arms, one on each side, neither giving way to the other.
Ye Lingling removed the black veil from her face and stood quietly to the side, but her pair of expressive lake-blue eyes were fixed on Ye Qifeng, the affection in her eyes almost overflowing, her gaze equally hot and passionate, captivating the heart.
Fortunately, the first round of the qualifiers has finally begun.
Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, a tremendous cheer suddenly erupted from the audience.
The sound was transmitted into the lounge simultaneously through a special sound transmission channel, immediately attracting the attention of Ye Qifeng, Huo Wu, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling.
Seeing that the delicate conflict between the three girls couldn't be resolved quickly, Ye Qifeng coughed lightly, speaking as gently as possible, and changed the subject:
"Um... Huowu, Yanyan, Lingling, let's watch the match first, okay?"
Upon hearing Ye Qifeng's words, the three girls seemed unwilling to put him in a difficult position, and they indeed temporarily set aside their prejudices against each other, all nodding rationally.
…………
Inside the Heavenly Battle Arena.
The plaza, which originally only had one main fighting arena during the opening ceremony, has now changed.
Apart from the Soul Arena, which is ten meters high, circular in shape, and has a considerable area with a diameter of thirty meters, where the first exhibition match was held during the opening ceremony.
Four other fighting arenas of the same size were also set up in the square.
These four additional Soul Arena were all set up in the short span of half a day.
