The next day.
Spirit City was clear and cloudless.
Most of the students from the more than thirty teams from all over the continent had faint smiles on their faces as they walked towards the Douhun Arena in front of the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Only a few teams, such as Tianshui Academy and Plant Academy, had worried expressions on the faces of their beautiful female students.
They were very concerned about the situation of their teachers.
Similarly, Water Binger, Yao Zi, and the others also felt a surge of anger; not only was Heaven Dou Royal Academy's seeded team their target for a desperate fight, but now there was also Spirit Hall Academy!
"After more than two months of competition, congratulations on finally reaching the finals of this Soul Master Competition!"
"Teams from both Empires have arrived, a total of thirty-three teams."
"The finals will adopt a draw-based elimination system. In the first round, three seeded teams will receive a bye. In the second round, the top two teams from the two Empires' advancement rounds will also receive a bye."
"Next, I invite the teachers from each academy to the central stage to draw lots to determine the upcoming match-ups."
The opening ceremony of the finals was very simple, and the audience was basically Spirit Masters from Spirit Hall.
Just as Su Ran walked to the central stage for the draw, and all the students were focused on the match-ups.
Outside the Douhun Arena, in a corner.
"Erlong, are you doing well at Peach Garden Academy?"
Liu Erlong looked at the middle-aged man in front of her. Even though the golden hoop on her head was rapidly tightening, she felt a little touched by the middle-aged man's concern:
"I'm doing fine."
"It's good that you're doing well. I told you a long time ago that Peach Garden Academy is very suitable for your studies. Oh, and did Su Ran teach you a method to cultivate your mutated Spirit? You've been studying with them for a while, so you should have gradually become familiar with the students of Peach Garden Academy, right?"
Yu Xiaogang asked indifferently.
Liu Erlong's heart skipped a beat. She remembered what Su Ran had said in the valley... Xiaogang really did come to ask...
The golden hoop on her head was now tightening even more, causing her an unbearable headache:
"Xiaogang, what if I said he taught me this technique?"
"Erlong, we were lovers after all. If he can teach you and help you become better and better, I naturally feel happy for you. Of course, if you're willing, I can help you evaluate whether what he taught you is suitable or not."
"Xiaogang, if I'm not mistaken, your Spirit is also a mutated Spirit..." Liu Erlong's eyes were complex.
"Erlong, what do you mean? Do you think I'm asking you this for myself? I'm thinking of you!"
He didn't notice the hint of pain on Liu Erlong's face, but he instantly caught the suspicion in her tone.
Liu Erlong pressed her hands against the golden hoop on her head and couldn't help but ask Yu Xiaogang:
"Xiaogang, is the Spirit Hall's ambush on Peach Garden Academy related to you? Can you tell me the truth?"
Yu Xiaogang's expression changed: "Of course it has nothing to do with me. Is that how you see me? If so, let's go our separate ways; there's no need to meet. "
"Xiaogang, that's not what I meant."
"If that's not what you meant, then what is it? Did you learn to doubt our Golden Triangle at Peach Garden Academy? Is this how you help me, after promising to?"
"I..."
"I can't say."
Liu Erlong clutched her head, writhing in pain on the ground.
