Chapter 149 The Way to Death

A month passed in a flash.

Su Cheng ended his brief practice in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire and went to the venue of the promotion competition, the Royal Paddock of the Tiandou Empire.

The promotion competition of the Elite Competition of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy was not as lively as the preliminaries.

In order to protect the privacy and safety of soul masters, no spectators are allowed to watch the promotion competition.

On the Tiandou Empire side, including the five teams that qualified from the Tiandou City preliminaries, a total of fifteen teams had completed the registration process in the morning and gathered together at the promotion competition site.

There are fewer teams, but those who can pass the preliminaries are undoubtedly the elite among the elites.

The ten teams from the five kingdoms and principalities that passed the preliminaries came earlier to familiarize themselves with the environment.

The Royal Hunting Ground is located 50 kilometers southwest of Tiandou City. The terrain in the field is varied and the area is vast. It is the place where the royal family members hunt and train on weekdays.

On weekdays, no civilians are allowed to approach here. Ten thousand people of the Royal Knights are responsible for patrolling and guarding, and they also train here.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble and conflict, and to prevent the strength of each academy entering the promotion competition from being observed by other academies, all fifteen teams of high-level soul masters entering the promotion competition were arranged to rest in different places.

Su Cheng, led by the soldiers, quickly came to the rest area belonging to Tiandou Royal Academy.

Before the end of the promotion competition, the members of the Tiandou Royal Academy team will live here.

This stage of the competition is also a round-robin system. But because the number of teams has been reduced a lot, the time of the competition has been reduced from one month to half a month.

After another half a month of rest, the finals will be held in Wuhun City at the junction of the two empires of Tiandou and Xingluo.

Not long after Su Cheng entered the rest area, his cheap apprentice Feng Qingyu got the news from somewhere and ran over directly.

Also coming over was Feng Xiaotian, the captain of the Shenfeng Academy team.

"Hello, teacher!"

As soon as they met, Feng Qingyu bowed to Su Cheng seriously.

Feng Xiaotian looked at her in surprise, then turned to look at Su Cheng.

Su Cheng was speechless, "You don't have to be like this."

"Once a teacher, always a father. I will respect you as a father in the future."

"..."Su Cheng was too lazy to pay attention to her and looked at Feng Xiaotian standing beside him.

"Brother Feng, what's the matter with you coming to see me?"

The promotion match is about to begin. He is not like Feng Qingyu who doesn't have to play, nor is he like Su Cheng who doesn't care about anything.

On the contrary, as the captain, his affairs are actually quite busy.

Even if he has decided to join the Tiandou Royal Team in the finals, there is no reason to come here now.

"It's like this. Brother Su's invitation is kind to me, but in the finals, our team is going to team up with Chihuo Academy to fight. Even if we can't win the championship, it can be regarded as no regrets."

"..."

Feng Qingyu next to him rolled her eyes lightly and gave Su Cheng a "you know" expression.

Seeing this, Su Cheng sighed and asked, "Is it because of Huo Wu from Chihuo Academy?"

"It's partly her fault. I hope you can understand." Feng Xiaotian said frankly.

Su Cheng glanced at the other party and wanted to say something.

But in the end, he just waved his hand and said: "Everyone has their own aspirations, there is no need to force it. Then I wish Brother Feng can get the beauty as soon as possible."

There is no point in saying many things. He and Feng Xiaotian are not close, so he is not in a position to comment more.

Feng Xiaotian himself seems to enjoy it, especially the last blessing, which makes him feel very happy. He came here just to say hello.

Seeing that Su Cheng didn't care, he was relieved and smiled: "I also wish Brother Su a smooth victory. I'll ask you to take care of Qingyu."

"No problem."

The next day, the competition officially started.

Unlike the preliminaries, the promotion competition does not have multiple arenas at the same time, but only one competition venue, which is the Royal Knights' Grand Parade.

A total of 15 teams participating in the promotion competition will have 14 rounds of round-robin matches, all in this same venue.

The Grand Parade Ground has been remodeled, with a 100-meter diameter area in the center as the competition field. Compared with the arena in the preliminaries, the space here is wider and easier to show the players' own strength.

On the north side of the Grand Parade Ground, a VIP seat was temporarily built facing north and south, which is also the referee seat. This time, there are not as many VIPs watching the game as last time.

Looking around, except for the first row of Emperor Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi, Platinum Bishop Saras and others, the seats behind are all sitting with people dressed as generals and some high-level people from the Spirit Hall Tiandou City Spirit Hall.

After all, group battles are more chaotic, and many things are not easy to see clearly. But the promotion match is different. Every student will show his or her personal strength in full view of the public. This is also the best time to assess the strength of a soul master.

Outside the Grand Parade Ground, a full 10,000 royal knights surrounded the entire Grand Parade Ground, and the defense was extremely tight.

Between the large circle formed by the knights and the competition venue, all fifteen participating teams have arrived, even the teams that had a bye today. Even if they don't have to compete, they still have to see the strength of their opponents clearly.

The rules of the game are very simple.

Each team sends seven players to participate, and each player on the field must fight until they are defeated. The winner will face the next opponent until all seven players on one side are defeated.

The draw was completed last night. Coincidentally, the first opponent of Tiandou Royal Academy was Shrek Academy.

Emperor Xue Ye stood up from the VIP seat and said loudly through the soul guide: "The promotion game officially begins today. In the next fourteen days, I hope that the teams of each academy will give full play to their own strengths and show the style of soul masters."

As soon as he finished speaking, shouts like a landslide and tsunami sounded in unison, "Long live, long live, long live."

Then, the seven people from the Tiandou Royal Academy team and the Shrek Academy team stepped forward.

Su Cheng glanced at the opposite side.

Zhu Zhuqing still looked like she ignored him, but Tang San looked at him tit for tat.

"Is this the start of using the Clear Sky Hammer? It seems very confident."

With a little perception, he noticed the changes in the other party's aura in just one month, and his heart suddenly understood.

"But this may not be a bad thing for him. The Blue Silver Emperor has no hope of awakening. It is better to practice the Clear Sky Hammer directly."

Tang San was indeed very confident at this time.

His current level has reached level 47.

The soul power improvement brought by absorbing soul rings is too obvious.

Especially when the level is still low, absorbing soul rings with the maximum age is enough to improve the soul power by one level, not to mention that Tang San absorbed more than the maximum age.

A thousand-year soul ring on the blue silver grass, plus the four ten-thousand-year soul rings of the Clear Sky Hammer, helped him improve by more than seven levels, and now he is not far from level 48.

He is finally the strongest in his academy team.

At least Tang San himself thinks so.

Although Zhu Zhuqing is at the same level as him, there is still a gap between soul masters.

He looked at Su Cheng in the Tiandou Royal Academy team with a solemn expression.

Although the two are still a little behind in level now.

But he has eight soul rings, and the Clear Sky Hammer has four ten-thousand-year soul rings attached to it.

Although these soul rings are only a little over ten thousand years old due to the body's endurance.

But compared to Su Cheng's two ten-thousand-year soul rings, he is already capable of fighting.

The first person to play in Shrek Academy was Xiao Wu, and she defeated two students from Tiandou Royal Academy in succession.

Su Cheng, who was watching the game, was not surprised.

Xiao Wu's strength far exceeds that of her peers.

After understanding the method of soul ring condensation, Su Cheng already understood that these transformed soul beasts, because their own blood turned into martial souls, their blood and martial souls were extremely pure, and they could be called "source martial souls."

Therefore, when self-generated soul rings, almost all of them are top-grade soul skills that can perfectly meet their own needs, and the age of the soul rings will also get the best age according to their own physical constitution.

In this case, the combat effectiveness of the transformed soul beasts in the same level is naturally the top one.

Unless they encounter attribute restraint or combat method restraint, they are basically invincible in the same level.

The third person to play in the Tiandou Royal Academy team was named Wang Yu.

He was a control-type soul master in the team, and his soul power cultivation was the same as Xiao Wu, as high as level 38.

If the auxiliary soul master Ning Rongrong was not counted, his strength in the second team could be said to be second only to Su Cheng.

As the light flashed, tentacles appeared behind Wang Yu - his martial soul was an octopus.

As the referee said the game started, Wang Yu stretched his hands forward, and the third soul ring on his body suddenly lit up.

The eight tentacles behind him grew and extended rapidly, and then they gathered towards Xiao Wu with their fangs and claws.

Looking at these soft long tentacles in front of her, Xiao Wu couldn't help feeling sick.

She immediately focused her eyes on her opponent.

But Wang Yu closed his eyes at this time, obviously not wanting Xiao Wu's charm skill to interrupt this third soul skill.

In the previous two games, Xiao Wu's fighting methods as a strong attack-type soul master had already been fully revealed, and the effects of the three soul skills were no longer a secret.

Although he closed his eyes, it did not affect Wang Yu's fighting at all.

As a control-type soul master, he has a second soul skill that specifically enhances perception.

The water stains on the ground are constantly reporting the surrounding situation to him.

Even without relying on vision, he can know the situation very well, and it is even more sharp and useful than his eyes.

Xiao Wu moved her feet lightly and walked silently in the outer circle of the venue.

Wang Yu kept approaching her.

The eight tentacles on his body expanded further, and even split again at the end of the tentacles, densely covering him.

Seeing this, Xiao Wu frowned slightly.

These tentacles gave people a very uncomfortable feeling.

Especially after Wang Yu used the first soul skill to split, it was like a kind of mental pollution.

She began to run faster to delay time.

The purpose was simple, not seeking merit, but seeking no mistakes. Wang Yu needed to consume a lot of soul power to maintain three soul skills at the same time.

However, Wang Yu obviously did not intend to continue to consume like this.

After pressing to a certain distance, he suddenly stopped and raised his arms.

As he moved, the water stains on the ground suddenly flew into the air.

This change was obviously beyond Xiao Wu's expectations.

Since the start of the game, a large amount of water stains have accumulated silently on the ground.

This is not ordinary water, it contains the special mucus of Wang Yu's martial soul, which can be easily controlled by him.

The next moment, Xiao Wu's body was instantly stained with a lot of water stains, and her movements suddenly became slower than before.

At the same time, the split tentacles accelerated to surround her.

Tang San, who was watching the game from the stage, looked a little anxious.

According to the original plan, Xiao Wu should have given up by now.

The opponent's soul skills have been used up, and her tactical role has been fully realized, not to mention that her soul power is also very little.

But Xiao Wu did not mean to give up.

Bounce, teleport, Xiao Wu finally fully exerted her speed, hoping to get out of trouble.

In her calculations, she could completely escape from the opponent's attack range when those dense tentacles caught up with her.

However, she soon found something wrong.

When the split tentacles got closer and closer to her, she clearly felt a pulling force pulling her body, and she could not completely escape even if she used teleportation.

At this time, Tang San, who was outside the competition venue, had stood up and clenched his hands into fists.

Now the situation on the field is obviously not something he can judge.

After all, Xiao Wu had already participated in two games. At this time, there was not much soul power left in her body, and she could not teleport continuously.

When those dense tentacles produced suction on her body, not only her body was slowed down for a moment, but the main body of the eight tentacles also quickly whipped.

This is the real killer move!

The timing of the launch was just right. It was the only way for Xiao Wu's body to move forward. It was the moment when she had just completed a teleportation and could not continue.

The control system soul master's ability to grasp the battle situation is indeed not comparable to the strong attack system soul master.

From the current situation, it can be seen that Wang Yu is quite experienced and has a very good grasp of the situation.

A white light flashed, and Xiao Wu's strange leaping figure suddenly stopped.

Three tentacles missed the attack, two whipped her body, and the remaining three tied her tightly in it.

The sea blue light surged, the tentacles tightened, and Xiao Wu's face was suddenly filled with pain, and her pretty face turned pale.

"We admit defeat." Yu Xiaogang's voice sounded in time.

Hearing this, Wang Yu retracted his soul skill. The sea-blue light poured down and merged into the ground.

The moment before Xiao Wu was about to fall to the ground, Tang San had already rushed to her side and hugged her body.

Xiao Wu's body trembled slightly due to the low temperature, and there were a few fine red whip marks on her body, which were the attacks of the third soul skill that were not completely dodged.

Looking at her eyes closed and her breath weak, Tang San felt indescribable pain.

Looking up at the opponent, Wang Yu's face turned pale because of the use of multiple soul skills.

A cold light flashed in Tang San's eyes.

He was not going to wait for a fight with Su Cheng.

He was going to be the next to appear and avenge Xiao Wu.

Picking up Xiao Wu and handing her to Jiangzhu's arms behind him, Tang San stood up and walked slowly into the competition field.

He walked slowly, but steadily and powerfully, staring at Wang Yu with a gloomy face.

Looking at Tang San, who was walking slowly towards him with an expressionless face. For some reason, Wang Yu suddenly felt a little depressed.

But although his soul power was consumed greatly at this time, he was not ready to give up.

Wang Yu knew that his strength was insufficient, and he would most likely miss the finals.

The promotion match was his last chance to perform, and every battle was precious.

Wang Yu was actually very satisfied and grateful to have come this far.

His talent was not particularly outstanding, and his martial spirit was not strong.

As a control-type soul master, he was far inferior to Dugu Yan, so he naturally missed the chance to be selected for the first team.

He had also seen the battle between Su Cheng and the other powerful elemental academies.

He knew very well that without Su Cheng, with the strength of their second team, they would definitely not be able to beat those elemental academies, and even could not defeat the Shrek Academy in front of them, and there would be no chance to participate in the promotion match.

Now he had less than half of his soul power left.

It was enough to cause some consumption to Tang San.

Although Su Cheng was always there to cover for whatever happened, he didn't want to appear useless.

"The game begins."

The rules of the promotion match determined that the players on the field could not have time to rest. As Tang San entered the field, the game began immediately.

A small black hammer instantly appeared in Tang San's hand.

Then the dark first and second soul rings lit up one after another, and the small hammer suddenly became extremely huge.

As the hammer handle swung, the hammer head came in an instant with a huge whistling sound, easily breaking the defense line built by Wang Yu's tentacles with the third soul skill.

Then, the Clear Sky Hammer mercilessly hit Wang Yu's right shoulder heavily.

"Bang!"

The next moment, his body flew out of the field like a rag.

Before he fainted, Wang Yu, who was spitting blood, clearly heard the sound of his bones breaking.

"Bang!"

Under the action of inertia, the Clear Sky Hammer continued to move forward and fell on the ground beside Tang San.

A huge hole suddenly appeared on the hard ground, and with a "crackling" sound, fine cracks spread out in all directions.

Today's day is 10,000.

ps, I'm not blackening Tang San, this is what happened when they fought against Thunder Academy, a classic scene. Xiao Wu defeated two people, but lost when fighting against the third person. Tang San was not on the list of players, so he directly called Dai Mubai and asked him to avenge Xiao Wu. He was directly crippled by the opponent, chapter 115 of the original novel.
