The opponents were skilled in defense and had three Soul Masters.
His women, apart from Liu Erlong, didn't have any particularly strong offensive Soul Masters.
Dugu Yan's poison could handle them well,
but it was still insufficient against multiple opponents.
Moreover, Ye Qiu remembered that this match seemed to have been rigged by Salas?
"Husband, haven't you decided yet?"
Dugu Yan looked at Ye Qiu staring at her for a long time without speaking, and became somewhat puzzled.
Ye Qiu chuckled.
He already had a plan in mind. Since the other side dared to rig things
, he would give them a good thrashing, even if it was a Diamond Mammoth!
He put his arm around Dugu Yan's waist and announced,
"I've decided."
"I will personally handle this match. Whoever wants to stand up for the other six spots can go up and stand up."
"What? Husband, you're going to make your move so quickly?"
Liu Erlong's face showed a hint of surprise, and the other women were also somewhat puzzled, looking at Ye Qiu with doubt.
"Yeah, this time the opponents are all tanks, it'll be a bit troublesome. I'll handle it myself, it'll be easier,"
Ye Qiu nodded seriously.
"Ah? When will it be Xiao Wu's turn?"
Xiao Wu lowered her head dejectedly, her pink rabbit ears drooping.
"And Xiao Lan… Xiao Lan wants to play too!"
Xiao Lan raised her little hand, a lone, glistening hawthorn hanging from the bamboo skewer in her hand.
"Don't worry, there are over twenty rounds. Everyone gets a turn."
Ye Qiu pinched Xiao Wu's soft ear and rubbed Xiao Lan's tender face.
"Ye… Ye Qiu, Er Long Jie."
A soft voice rang out, and Xue Ke appeared not far away, holding Ye Qiu's white coat in her hands.
"Xue Ke, come here."
Ye Qiu smiled and waved to Xue Ke.
"Did I disturb your tactical discussion?"
Xue Ke, holding the clothes, blushed shyly under Xiao Wu and the others' gaze.
"Not at all, my husband is planning to play himself in this match."
Liu Erlong took her hand and pulled her to his side.
She knew very well that for Ye Qiu, this was just a one-man show.
There was no need for tactical planning.
Xue Ke stood beside Ye Qiu, looking at him in surprise.
"Really? Then I'll keep a close eye on you. Be careful, you're cheering for you."
Saying this,
Xue Ke slowly unfolded the clothes in her hands.
"Hmph! He won't get hurt,"
Ning Rongrong scoffed jealously.
Hearing this, Xue Ke paused, her blushing face becoming even more radiant. She bit her red lips, lowering her eyes.
She was a latecomer after all.
She knew them, but only a few of them knew her.
Ye Qiu opened his mouth, chuckled awkwardly, and glared at Ning Rongrong with annoyance.
He said softly,
"Don't worry, Xue Ke, I'll be careful and try not to worry you."
"Mm."
Xue Ke nodded.
Gritting her teeth and forcing a smile, she said, "Ye Qiu, let me help you put it on."
"Okay."
Ye Qiu chuckled, opening his arms to let her help him.
After he was dressed, the embroidery on his chest, which resembled a Bagua diagram, seemed unchanged.
Ye Qiu frowned.
Only upon closer inspection could one see the delicate silk threads embroidered around the circle, with two barely visible characters:
'Ke' and 'Yue'.
"I... I went to Yuexuan yesterday. This was taught to me by Sister Yuehua after she finished embroidering it."
Xue Ke, with her back to the women, straightened Ye Qiu's collar, her red lips parted slightly, and she smiled softly.
Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment.

A pang of tenderness shot through him; she was an imperial princess. He
unconsciously cupped her fair face, his head bowing to capture her red lips.
Xue Ke blushed deeply.
She had never kissed Ye Qiu in front of so many people before, yet she didn't want to refuse.
This kiss was the sweetest and most blissful one she'd ever shared with Ye Qiu, except for the first time he'd taken the initiative to kiss her .
A light kiss followed.
Then, the call to enter came from outside.
Ye Qiu looked up and gently stroked Xue Ke's delicate nose.
"Alright, the competition is about to begin. You should hurry back to the VIP area."
"Okay. I'll watch you leave."
Xue Ke's face and neck were flushed, her body slightly weak, as she gently left Ye Qiu's embrace.
Ning Rongrong pouted.
This rascal, he'd been seeing other women outside and still dared to roll his eyes at her.
"Alright, those who want to go on stage, come with me,"
Ye Qiu chuckled.
He led the way out of the rest area.
Xiao Lan and Xiao Wu quickly followed, each taking one of Ye Qiu's arms.
The other women followed.
Ning Rongrong and Jiangzhu remained where they were.
Seeing that Ye Qiu had already left, Xue Ke also planned to return to the VIP area.
"Sister Erlong, I'll head back first."
Liu Erlong nodded slightly, but her eyes glanced at the somewhat uneasy Ning Rongrong beside her, a slightly teasing smile on her face.
Only when Xue Ke reached the door did Ning Rongrong purse her lips and ask her to stay.
"Wait a minute!"
Xue Ke looked at Ning Rongrong strangely.
She recognized her; Ning Rongrong was the eldest daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, her status no less than her own, perhaps even more prestigious
. Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth.
Dugu Yan and the others were too cunning; why did they always make her the bad guy?
Taking a deep breath, she said,
"I wasn't deliberately targeting you just now. I... I was targeting that bad guy Ye Qiu. Want to talk to us?"
After saying this,
Ning Rongrong gave a friendly smile.
Xue Ke hesitated slightly,
then quickly nodded.
...
As ten of the twenty-eight teams entered the arena...
The Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies
has officially begun its third day. The
vast
plaza is now set up differently from the first day.
Besides the central arena previously used by Ye Qiu and his team, four additional arenas of the same size have been erected alongside.
Despite the large size of these five arenas, the Heaven Dou Grand Arena, capable of accommodating 80,000 spectators, doesn't feel crowded.
All twenty-eight teams are still divided into three groups for this third day's battles, with Blue Tyrant Academy being one of the first to compete.
Due to their terrifying performance in the first match,
and considering their opponent, Elephant Armor Academy, a strong contender for the championship
, their match is again scheduled for the central main arena.
As a once-in-a-lifetime event, and given that the participating soul masters are highly sought after by various parties,
no one wants to miss it.
The VIPs in the stands are almost identical to those at the opening ceremony on the first day.
Not only are the imperial high-ranking officials present, but Emperor Xue Ye is still seated in the center of the first row.
However, Ye Qiu keenly notices…
Today, besides Ning Fengzhi, Qian Renxue, Emperor Xueye, and Salas, there are two extra seats in the first row of the VIP section.
