"Sorry, Dad, it seems I don't have time to entertain you. I have to go to the competition."
Chi Xiu looked at Chi Yuan apologetically, turned away reluctantly, and then led his teammates through the hall.
"Uncle Chi, my name is Ning Rongrong!"
Ning Rongrong secretly turned back and greeted Chi Yuan warmly and obediently.
Chi Yuan nodded blankly; he couldn't remember who this pretty girl was.
What bothered him more was that he hadn't even exchanged a few words with Chi Xiu yet.
"Little Xiu..."
"Brother Chi, this way please. You can sit next to me later!"
Xue Ye enthusiastically pulled Chi Yuan's arm.
"Um, I haven't even exchanged a few words with Little Xiu yet..."
"Brother Chi, please follow me!"
Xue Ye pulled Chi Yuan's arm with extreme enthusiasm, completely ignoring Chi Yuan's mutterings.
"Excuse my ignorance, may I ask who you are..."
Chi Yuan looked at Xue Ye with some confusion.
Who is this old man? " He looks much older than me, and he calls me Brother Chi... "
Xue Ye laughed heartily, putting his arm around Chi Yuan's shoulder. Even though it was their first meeting, he acted as if they were long-lost friends.
"Oh, my name is Xue Ye, the Emperor of Tian Dou."
"Emperor..."
Chi Yuan's expression froze, his body stiff as Xue Ye pulled him towards the audience seats.
...
"Don't put too much pressure on yourselves, but don't relax either. I'll observe the battlefield from the sidelines. Give it your all, use all your skills to the fullest."
Chi Xiu looked at his six teammates in the waiting area.
He smiled,
"Don't worry, with me here, we won't lose. Treat it as an opportunity to train yourselves. This kind of occasion, these kinds of opponents, are a challenge you can't miss."
"Okay, Captain."
Chi Xiu nodded, quietly looking towards the arena.
The vast audience seats could be roughly divided into four parts.
The Spirit Hall occupied a certain area, the Star Luo Royal Family occupied a certain area, the Tian Dou Royal Family occupied a certain area, and the rest were the others.
Even with the expanded venue, many people still couldn't squeeze in and could only wait regretfully outside for the results.
Gradually, Bibi Dong and the rest of the Spirit Hall members took their seats in the stands.
Next came the Star Luo Empire members.
Soon, Xue Ye pulled Chi Yuan to their seats, with several members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School behind him. Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly to Xue Ye in greeting.
After the important figures sat down, the standing people began to take their seats, but the Heaven Dou citizens who sat down seemed restless, unable to sit still.
This was a sign of their extreme excitement.
After all, they would finally be able to see the Heaven Dou team's battle live, and no one could remain calm in their seats.
Just then, a man wearing a red robe, with dark red patterns painted on his face and a pair of horns on his head, hid in a corner.
He gazed intently at the arena, observing quietly.
The people around him unconsciously huddled together, feeling a chill creeping into their bodies.
Soon, a stunningly beautiful female host walked onto the stage.
She was from the Tian Dou team.
In just a few minutes, she had glanced curiously at the Tian Dou team's side more than a dozen times, especially at the captain wearing a black mask.
Her mouth went dry from looking at him.
She had always hoped to commentate for the Tian Dou team, and today that dream had finally come true…
"All spectators are now in the arena, and both teams are ready in the waiting area. The match is about to officially begin."
Just when Chi Xiu thought Xue Ye would give an opening speech, he was surprised to find that this step was skipped.
The stunningly beautiful female host raised her arm and shouted, "Let's warmly welcome both teams to the stage!"
Instantly, thunderous applause erupted.
The atmosphere became incredibly heated.
Considering that most people were eager to see the match begin, many tedious steps were omitted.
Chi Xiu and his seven teammates walked onto the stage, while the opposing Star Luo team slowly entered as well.
"This is truly exciting! To be honest, I couldn't have imagined this outcome a couple of days ago."
"But today, it's here!"
The female host, blushing, looked towards Chi Xiu's team. "Also, could Captain Chi please sign an autograph for me after the match?"
"Ahem."
Bibi Dong in the audience coughed suddenly.
The female host's expression changed immediately, and she waved her hand, "I declare the match open!"
The seven members of the Heaven Dou team stood in a rhombus-like formation.
Sun Dabao stood at the front, flanked by Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu. Liu Dezhi stood in the middle, with Bi Ji and Ning Rongrong on either side behind. Chi Xiu, as the captain of the offensive team, stood at the very back.
On the opposing Star Luo team, Davis and Ying Wei stood at the very front, flanked by Zhu Zhuyun and Tang Hongning, also an agility-based attacker. Li Yang, whose martial soul was the Mirror of Reflection, stood in the middle. Dong Hui and Yang Mingxin, whose martial souls were both "Upper Goodness Like Water," stood at the very back.
The battle was about to erupt!
Sun Dabao and Ying Wei simultaneously summoned their martial souls, roaring.
A duel between an inflated water buffalo and a rock bear!
The battleground cracked as their massive bodies collided violently, neither managing to retreat an inch!
"Look! Ying Wei, a Soul Master, is actually evenly matched with Sun Dabao, a Soul Venerable!"
Ning Rongrong's first soul ring flashed from behind, amplifying the power of Sun Dabao who had initiated the attack.
Immediately afterward, both sides' agility-type soul masters moved into action.
"Nine Treasures are famous, secondly speed!"
Ning Rongrong raised the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda high.
Xiao Wu's body emitted a pink light, arriving beside Tang Hongning, whose martial soul was the Sharp Thunder Jackal, in the blink of an eye.
Zhu Zhuqing lowered her brows, glaring fiercely at Zhu Zhuyun. Both of them were simultaneously possessed by the Netherworld Cat, lashing out with sharp cat claws at each other.
"Netherworld Hundred Claws!"
"Netherworld Hundred Claws!"
With her speed boost, Zhu Zhuqing's movements were almost synchronized with Zhu Zhuyun's, yet her damage was still inferior to her sister's.
Chi Xiu's main attention was focused on Zhu Zhuqing. Seeing her at a disadvantage, he turned to look at Bi Ji.
"Concentrate the healing boost mainly on Zhu Zhuqing. Leave the others to me."
"Yes, young master!"
After giving his instructions, Chi Xiu walked forward. Just then, Davis seized the opportunity, his eyes fixed.
"Li Yang! Quick!"
Chi Xiu seemed to sense something and looked behind him.
A huge mirror suddenly appeared behind Ning Rongrong.
A tiger's roar came from the mirror, and a tiger's claw first emerged from the mirror, its sharp claw aiming at Ning Rongrong's neck!
"Not good!"
Ning Fengzhi in the audience frowned.
Davis's cooperation with the mirror was planned before the match began.
First, eliminate the opponent's support-type Soul Master!
Star Luo Emperor's face lit up with surprise, clenching his fist: "It's going to work!"
The host exclaimed at the same time: "My God, Captain Star Luo was actually waiting for this moment..."
At the same time,
Ning Rongrong turned around, her eyes wide as she stared at a tiger's paw trembling slightly, so close to her.
Davis's eyes widened in horror as his wrist was firmly held in mid-air by a hand like an iron clamp.
"Weren't you just over there..."
He looked at Chi Xiu in surprise, glancing at the spot where Chi Xiu had just been.
But the spot was now empty, and fading red electric currents were floating in the air...
"Such fast movement..."
In the audience, a man with red horns narrowed his eyes.
Chi Xiu smirked: "You think I was just strolling around here?"
He forcefully pulled Davis out of the mirror and then slammed him heavily onto the open space in front of him!
