Chapter 16 The top four "Ye Qian'an's team, come forward to draw lots." Following the shout, Ye Qian'an looked calm and walked forward with steady and powerful steps, slowly drawing a lot number from the lottery tube in Du Weilun's hand. Du Weilun looked at Ye Qian'an closely and attentively, thinking to himself: This student is truly outstanding. His dragon clan superior martial soul exudes a unique majestic aura, and naturally has a strong suppressive power over the beast martial soul. The two different colored soul rings are like dazzling treasures, which further demonstrate his extraordinaryness. There is no doubt that this boy will have a bright future and unlimited potential... "Number three." Du Weilun took the lottery number drawn by Ye Qian'an and announced it loudly in a loud and penetrating voice. Among the teams that had already completed the drawing, the faces of the members of one team suddenly changed, because the opponent Ye Qian'an had drawn was them. "Huo Yuhao's team, step forward and draw lots." Director Du Weilun's penetrating voice sounded again, instantly waking up the other teams that were immersed in their own thoughts. Huo Yuhao hurriedly stepped forward, looking a little nervous, and carefully took out a lot number from the lottery tube in Du Weilun's hand. "Number four." Du Weilun took the number drawn by Huo Yuhao and announced it loudly again. Huo Yuhao returned to Wang Dong's side, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Fortunately, I didn't draw Brother Ye." Wang Dong curled his lips and said with disdain: "Look at your courage. Even if you win, what will happen? We may not lose." Huo Yuhao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Brother Ye is very powerful, so it is a good thing that he can avoid him." "Yuhao is right. It is indeed not a wise move to confront those two people head-on." Xiaoxiao also nodded in agreement.
At this time, other teams also completed the draw. Ye Qian'an was not far from Huo Yuhao's team. After hearing what Huo Yuhao said, he frowned slightly and turned his gaze to Gu Yuena beside him. He said with a hint of sarcasm: "Nana, look how scared they are." Gu Yuena smiled helplessly, stretched out her hand and gently poked Ye Qian'an's forehead, and said angrily: "Who are they afraid of? Don't you know it in your heart? Let's go, it's our turn to go on stage." Ye Qian nodded and said with a firm look: "Let's go!" The two sides confronted each other in the assessment area and announced their names to each other. This time their opponents were from the freshman class nine, and the three of them were all great spirit masters above level 20. "I still can't deal with it seriously." Ye Qian'an looked at the opponent's lineup, shook his head, and a hint of contempt appeared in his expression. Gu Yuena's eyes gleamed, and she said decisively, "Quick battle, quick decision!" "Okay!" Ye Qian nodded decisively. After a brief exchange, the match officially began, and both sides released their martial spirits at the same time. Ye Qian did not rush out directly as usual this time, but waved the broad and dazzling golden dragon wings behind him, floating lightly in the air. Gu Yuena waved her hands, and the elemental power surged around her like ripples. Amidst the flashes of fiery red light, a huge fireball instantly appeared in front of Ye Qian'an. Ye Qian clenched his fists, his arm muscles bulged slightly, with clear lines, as if containing infinite power. He stared at his opponent with sharp eyes, his momentum continued to rise, like an active volcano about to erupt, ready to give the enemy a fatal blow at any time. Ye Qian'an suddenly threw a punch forward, and a powerful force burst out instantly. The huge fireball was actually broken up by his punch, and the originally huge fireball turned into a number of evenly distributed small fireballs. "Fire rain and meteors!" Following Ye Qian'an's loud shout, those small fireballs seemed to be given life. With a burning breath, they shot towards the three students from Class 9 like a meteor shower. After a brilliant moment, the two agile attack soul masters were directly blasted out of the venue. Although the strong attack soul master managed to hold on, his soul power had been exhausted and he was even burned by the power of fire. Ye Qian'an did not stop his attacking rhythm because of this. He drove the dragon wings behind him and rushed towards his opponent like a golden lightning. The offensive soul master saw that the situation was not good, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. He was ready to make a final desperate struggle. He suddenly burst out his remaining soul power and tried to fight back. However, Ye Qian'an came in front of him in an instant and punched him. The strong attack-type soul master was directly knocked away by this powerful force. "The game is over, the team of Ye Qian'an and Gu Yuena won!" The referee's voice resounded throughout the venue.
After the competition, Ye Qian'an and Gu Yuena successfully entered the top four of the freshman elimination round. Huo Yuhao's team also lived up to expectations and defeated their opponents in one go, and entered the top four. Also entering at the same time were Dai Huabin's team from Freshman Class 2 and Huang Chutian's team, which was defeated by Ye Qian'an a few days ago. Ye Qian'an and Gu Yuena left the arena and returned to the dormitory. The top four all possessed the spirit fusion skill. If it weren't for the appearance of Ye Qian'an and Gu Yuena, perhaps the final would be Huo Yuhao's team against Dai Huabin's team. At this moment, Ye Qian'an was sitting cross-legged on the bed in the dormitory, his forehead covered with sweat. He was practicing, trying to find an opportunity for a breakthrough. Gu Yuena sat aside, watching him quietly. The room was filled with a quiet and focused atmosphere, with only Ye Qian'an's slightly rising and falling breathing. Suddenly, Ye Qian'an's body trembled slightly, and a powerful soul power wave emanated from his body. Ye Qian slowly opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, he took a deep breath, looked at Gu Yuena and said: "I'm level 30 now, it's only natural for me to break through the seal, but now is not the right time." Gu Yuena nodded slightly, her eyes showing understanding: "Indeed, this is not the best time. There are still competitions to come. If we break through rashly, it may not be worth it." Ye Qian stood up, stretched his muscles, and said with a firm look: "That's right, win the game first, then consider breaking the seal." …… early morning. After washing up, Ye Qian and Gu Yuena practiced for a while until dawn, then left the dormitory and went to the assessment area, because today would decide the freshman champion of this knockout round. Compared with yesterday, there are obviously more people watching the game today. Of course, those who come to watch are all teachers, and the students still need to continue their classes. The eleven freshmen who made it to the semi-finals stood together in an orderly manner. The person in charge of drawing lots today was no longer Du Weilun, the director of the Martial Spirit Department of the External Affairs College. An old man in a white robe took his place. Seeing this old man, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but be secretly surprised, because he had seen this old man before. It was when he and Wang Dong first encountered Ma Xiaotao in a crazy state. At that time, among the teachers who came from Poseidon Island, this old man was the one in charge. He showed up at the final stage of the freshman assessment today, which clearly proved his high status in the academy. The authoritative Director Du Weilun of the External Academy just stood beside him respectfully at this time. "Hello, young people. I am Yan Shaozhe, the 261st president of Shrek Academy." The old man in white said with a smile and a kind tone. The president's personal appearance was something that none of the freshmen had expected, of course, excluding Ye Qian and Gu Yuena. "I know you are curious about why I am here. Yes, generally speaking, even if the freshman assessment has reached the final stage, having a vice president come forward is enough to show the importance the college attaches to you. But I have to say that I am very satisfied with the performance of your freshmen. This is also the most talented freshman class in the past hundred years. I am very interested in you, so I am here. In addition, I will watch all of your games today. I hope you can give me a surprise. Okay, let's start the draw." Naturally, the dean could not preside over the drawing of lots himself, so Du Weilun quickly took over the task of drawing lots, but Dean Yan said that he would personally hold the lottery boxes for the freshmen. "Freshmen class one, Ye Qian'an's team, please come forward to draw lots." The first to draw lots was still Ye Qian'an's team. Ye Qian'an and Gu Yuena looked at each other, their eye contact full of determination and confidence. Then Ye Qian'an became the first student to draw lots in front of the dean. Ye Qian'an walked forward with a calm expression and picked one out at random, not showing any of the nervousness that might be imagined. Dean Yan smiled slightly, his eyes full of encouragement and expectation, and said: "Young man, I wish you and your team good results." After Ye Qian'an drew a lot, he took a step back, bowed slightly, then handed the lot to Du Weilun, and then walked back calmly. "Freshman Class 1, Ye Qian'an's team, sign number one." Number one meant that in the semi-finals, they would play in the first playing field, and there were only four numbers in that box, two ones and two twos. "The fifth class of freshmen, Dai Huabin's team draws lots." A tall young man strode out with steady and powerful steps. He walked onto the stage, bowed respectfully to Yan Shaozhe and Du Weilun, drew a lot, bowed, handed it to Du Weilun, and turned around. It was a handsome but cold face, with long golden hair parted in the middle and draped softly on both sides. Looking closely, there were double pupils in his deep blue eyes. He was tall and straight, taller and stronger than his peers. When Huo Yuhao saw his appearance, his whole body was shocked. His eyes were filled with disbelief. His body even trembled uncontrollably. He tightly grasped Wang Dong's arm.
Wang Dong was startled by his sudden action and turned to look at him, only to find that Huo Yuhao's face was as pale as paper, and his eyes revealed deep hatred that could not be concealed. Huo Yuhao's hands were clenched tightly, and even caused Wang Dong some pain. Although more than three years had passed, Huo Yuhao could never forget those cold eyes and icy voice. It was him, he was one of the culprits who killed his mother. Huo Yuhao's eyes gradually turned red. "Dai Huabin's team, sign number one." After Du Weilun finished his announcement, Dai Huabin walked back to his team with a proud look on his face. Huo Yuhao's emotions stabilized a little until he could no longer see his face. At this moment, he even needed Wang Dong's support to stand steadily. The drawing of lots continued, and no one noticed the change in Huo Yuhao's expression until all the lots were drawn. Then Huo Yuhao regained his balance. Naturally, only number two was left from Huo Yuhao's team and Huang Chutian's team. "Can you still compete?" Wang Dong asked with a worried look on his face. Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, trying to calm the surging pain in his heart. He nodded gently and said, "I can do it. What lot did Dai Huabin draw just now?" Wang Dong frowned. He didn't even hear such a loud noise. His emotions were really fluctuating. "He drew number one. If he defeats Ye Qian'an's team, he will meet us in the finals. However, the possibility is very small, even if he is a three-ring soul master." “Three-ring Soul Master?” A cold light flashed in Huo Yuhao’s eyes. “Yes! Three-ring Soul Master. He has so much support and resources, how can he not be excellent? Let’s go, let’s go to the competition.” The match between Ye Qian'an's team and Dai Huabin's team will be in the afternoon, and the match between Huo Yuhao's team and Huang Chutian's team will be in the morning. In the semi-finals, Huo Yuhao's team faced Huang Chutian's team. Being able to stand out from the crowd of freshmen and reach this point, even without the presence of a Three-Ring Soul Master, their strength must have been strong. "The competition begins." With the announcement from the invigilator, the semi-finals officially kicked off. Since Huang Chutian's team had already used the spirit fusion technique when facing Ye Qian'an and Gu Yuena, they would definitely not be able to use it again when facing Huo Yuhao's team. Both sides quickly released their martial spirits. Huang Chutian roared angrily and pounded his chest with both fists. His eyes turned from black to yellow, and his two canine teeth protruded from under his thickened lips. His limbs were extremely strong, and his muscles were as solid and powerful as steel. Two yellow soul rings rose from under his feet at the same time. The Lan sisters behind Huang Chutian also released their martial spirits at the same time. With a shake of their heads, the long blue hair behind them suddenly flew up and quickly bloomed in the air. Soon it turned into blue hair that was more than ten meters long, floating in the air but not falling to the ground. On the other side, Wang Dong flew out at the first moment, spread his wings, and the gorgeous Goddess of Light Butterfly appeared. The two little girls, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, were full of amazement, and their eyes suddenly changed when they looked at Wang Dong. Huang Chutian roared, then took a big step and rushed towards Wang Dong. Seeing this, Wang Dong flapped his wings lightly, and his body instantly rose high, avoiding Huang Chutian's head-on attack. Huo Yuhao's eyes were calm as he activated his mental detection, clearly reporting the situation on the battlefield to Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao. Huang Chutian's attack missed, but he was not discouraged. He turned around suddenly, waved his strong arms, and created a gust of wind. Wang Dong was flying flexibly in the air, constantly looking for Huang Chutian's flaws. Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo were also not idle, their more than ten meters long blue hair swept towards Wang Dong like a spirit snake. Wang Dong's eyes focused, and he flapped his wings rapidly, constantly changing his position in the air to avoid the snake-like blue hair. Brilliant rays of light shot out from his wings, attacking the sisters Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo. The sisters' faces changed slightly, and they quickly controlled their hair to defend themselves. Huang Chutian took advantage of the opportunity when Wang Dong was distracted to attack the two sisters, exerted force on his feet, jumped high, and tried to catch Wang Dong. Huo Yuhao shouted from below: “Wang Dong, be careful!” Wang Dong's heart trembled, and he flapped his wings vigorously and dodged to the side in an instant. At this moment, Xiaoxiao also made a move, and the San Sheng Soul-Calming Cauldron rushed straight towards Huang Chutian. Huang Chutian sensed the danger. Huang Chutian was also very brave. He thrust his head forward and actually used his head to hit the San Sheng Soul-Calming Cauldron. "Bang——" Huang Chutian was knocked flying back, while the San Sheng Soul-Calming Cauldron fell from the sky and landed right in front of Wang Dong. @天狐九世, thank you for the reward, I feel honored! ! ! !
