Chapter 758 Hu Liena and Meng Yiran
Another day of short rest.
The fourth round of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament Finals began immediately.
With fewer and fewer teams participating, the most intense phase of competition has passed, but the real challenge is far from over.
Through a draw, the final six teams quickly determined their opponents.
Surprisingly, after the brutal competition of the previous round, this round of matches seemed to have become much more normal.
Among the six teams, the Spirit Hall's first and second teams, which were clearly stronger, did not encounter each other.
On the contrary, the Fire, Water and Wind team, jointly formed by the three elemental academies, was unlucky enough to draw the Spirit Hall's second team.
Even more unfortunate was the Beast Academy team led by Meng Yiran.
After enjoying two byes, their luck seemed to have run out. In the draw ceremony for the fourth round of the finals, they were unlucky enough to draw the Spirit Hall's No. 1 Team, which was recognized as the strongest team in the competition.
Faced with this draw, Meng Yiran and her teammates from the Beast Academy felt a little regretful, but they didn't feel any remorse and were quite open-minded.
After all, among their entire team, only Meng Yiran was reasonably strong; the other team members were not very strong, and could be said to be the weakest among all the remaining six participating teams.
If it weren't for Blazing Fire Academy and Skywater Academy voluntarily giving up their qualification for the finals, giving them two byes, they wouldn't have needed to participate in the first and third rounds and would have directly advanced. In the second round, they were also lucky enough to draw a weak team as their opponent.
Otherwise, the Beast Academy team would never have survived until now; they would have been eliminated long ago.
For the members of the Beast Academy, reaching the top six in the finals was already a great achievement.
Compared to the Fire, Water and Wind Team and the Beast Academy Team, the Shrek Seven Devils Team was much luckier in this round.
They didn't encounter any of the three strongest teams, but instead drew the weakest team among the remaining six teams, which was the only remaining member of the Star Luo Empire.
The fourth round of the competition began soon.
The first teams to appear were the Spirit Hall's First Team and the Beast Academy Team.
On the Spirit Hall's first team side, Hu Liena led Sun Chuantao, Zhang Ping, Li Kai, Xu Yu, plus two substitute players to compete.
The Beast Academy team, naturally led by Meng Yiran, fielded its full strength.
With a light, graceful step, Hu Liena seemed to have simply turned her body and arrived at the front of the group.
At the age of twenty, she possesses a near-perfect figure and an absolutely stunning face. Her smooth, shoulder-length pink-gold hair is adorned with a fox-ear-shaped hair accessory, giving her the appearance of a fox.
Without her noticing, her every smile, every gesture, and even her entire being seemed to exude an extraordinary charm that ordinary people could hardly resist.
"You must be Meng Yiran? I've heard Xiao Feng mention you before."
With graceful steps, Hu Liena approached Meng Yiran, a faint smile on her pretty face. She looked the latter up and down several times before asking softly.
Her voice was alluring and ethereal, just like the charm she exuded, full of captivating allure, and incredibly pleasant to the ear.
Directly opposite, in the team from the Beast Academy, Meng Yiran held a two-meter-tall snake staff in her hand, and her sleek dark green scale armor tightly covered her well-developed figure.
Meng Yiran's appearance is naturally not bad; she is an extremely beautiful young woman. Apart from her height not being particularly outstanding, everything else about her is absolutely top-notch among women, truly stunning, and with a very distinctive personal style.
She had short, bluish-gray hair, a small face the size of a palm, a thin, long snake-like pattern painted at the corner of her eye, a delicate, upturned nose, and lips painted with light purple lip gloss.
Her facial features appear rather aloof, but she is very beautiful and her looks are pleasing to the eye.
Meng Yiran is indeed very beautiful. After all, she is already eighteen years old, and her body is perfectly developed. Wearing a dark green snakeskin outfit, she looks very heroic, while also revealing a touch of sexiness, which is extremely alluring.
While Hu Liena was sizing up Meng Yiran, Meng Yiran was also sizing up Hu Liena.
A pair of beautiful, large, blue-gray eyes were almost fixed on Hu Liena's delicate body, moving with her light steps.
Looking at Hu Liena's perfect figure and feeling her alluring aura, Meng Yiran's beautiful eyes were almost wide open, as if she was also captured by the charm emanating from Hu Liena and completely immersed in it.
"Yes, yes!"
The alluring voice startled Meng Yiran, jolting her awake from Hu Liena's charm, and she instinctively responded.
She paused slightly, then remembered the other person's identity—Ye Qifeng's senior sister and childhood sweetheart, and also another official girlfriend besides Huo Wu.
Faced with such a stunning beauty of such special status, Meng Yiran actually felt a little nervous. Almost without thinking, she immediately abandoned her usual arrogance and spoiled nature, put her feet together, and bowed to Hu Liena in the most standard manner of greeting:
"Hello, Sister Nana!"
"My name is Meng Yiran. I come from Barak Royal City, the capital of the Barak Kingdom. I am the young master of the Dragon-Snake Mansion. My grandparents are Dragon Duke Meng Shu and Snake Granny Chao Tianxiang."
"Currently serving as the captain of the Beast Academy team."
For reasons unknown, Meng Yiran parted her cherry lips slightly and spoke quickly. Without Hu Liena needing to ask any questions, she recounted her identity, background, and everything else in detail in a short time.
"Well"
Upon hearing Meng Yiran's series of self-introductions, Hu Liena's pretty face clearly froze for a moment.
Some people couldn't understand why this petite girl with such a big heart was saying these things to them, and doing so politely, cautiously, and seriously.
I just wanted to say hello to her, did she misunderstand something?
But Hu Liena quickly remembered the complicated relationship between Meng Yiran and her junior brother, who was also her boyfriend Ye Qifeng, and immediately understood why the other party was acting this way.
After understanding all of this, Hu Liena felt a little jealous, but seeing Meng Yiran's polite and respectful manner, she felt inexplicably happy.
Especially when the other person called her "Sister Nana," she was overjoyed and felt extremely comfortable.
Realizing that this girl named Meng Yiran was very likely to become her sister in the future, Hu Liena quickly changed her mood, hurriedly stepped forward to lift Meng Yiran up, and softly said in a voice only the two of them could hear:
"Oh dear, little sister Yiran, you're too kind."
"Since you're familiar with Xiaofeng, and I'm Xiaofeng's senior sister, then from now on we're sisters, no need to be so formal."
The two of them, without a care in the world, held hands and whispered to each other.
Seeing this unexpected turn of events, everyone—from Sun Chuantao and Zhang Ping of the Spirit Hall's first team to Meng Yiran's teammates and the audience—was stunned.
When the referee came up to the stage, stood between the two teams, raised his right hand, and was about to announce the start of the match, an even more unexpected scene unfolded.
Meng Yiran surprisingly surrendered to the referee's decision:
"Referee, we don't need to continue."
"We, the Beast Academy, concede defeat in this match!"
The referee was speechless for a moment, glancing at Meng Yiran, then at Hu Liena, and finally at the members of the Spirit Hall's first team and the Beast Academy. Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement, he loudly announced:
"In the first match of the fourth round of the finals, the Spirit Hall Academy's first team faced off against the Beast Academy team. The winner is..."
"The Spirit Hall Academy's First Team!"
This result was not surprising; almost everyone had anticipated this outcome before the competition even began.
What was truly surprising was that Hu Liena and Meng Yiran, two beautiful young women, openly made peace with each other on the ring, and even walked off the ring hand in hand after the match.
There was a sense of instant connection, as if they were about to become best friends and sisters.
This scene truly stunned many people at the scene.
Perhaps only a few people, including Xie Yue and Yan, who were watching the battle, knew why the relationship between the two had developed so quickly and so well.
This included Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, the seven girls from the Spirit Hall's second team, and the couple Gai Shi Long She.
It's just that everyone reacts differently.
…………
With the conclusion of the match between the Spirit Hall's First Team and the Beast Academy Team, the match between the Spirit Hall's Second Team and the Fire-Water-Wind Team soon began.
The Spirit Hall's second team naturally fielded its full main lineup: Captain Ruiwen, Vice Captain Feng Xian, and team members Ye Lan, Jin Yue'er, Zhu Zhuqing, Bai Chenxiang, and Xiao Mingyue.
The Fire, Water, and Wind team also fielded their strongest lineup.
Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er, the two strongest fighters, were prominently listed, followed by Huo Wushuang, Feng Xiaotian, and the Shui Yue'er and Xue Wu combination from Tianshui Academy. The last one was a fire-attribute support-type soul master from Chi Huo Academy.
The two teams, with a total of fourteen members, stood in a row facing each other.
"Sister Huowu, Sister Bing'er, and everyone from the Huoshuifeng team, we will definitely not give up on this match. Please forgive us if we have offended anyone."
In the queue, Raven stood in the center of her sisters, looking at Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er on the opposite side, and said seriously.
"Haha, it's okay! Raven, just bring it on. But you guys better watch out, we won't hold back either."
Hearing Raven's words, Huo Wu laughed heartily and gave Raven and the other seven a similar piece of advice.
Although this is a match, not a life-or-death struggle, both sides are very strong. If they really go all out in the fight, it will be difficult for them to control their strength.
That could potentially lead to injury to the opponent.
Shui Bing'er, standing to the side, smiled and nodded. She also liked the seven girls of the Spirit Hall's second team quite a bit and really treated them like younger sisters. Of course, she didn't want to hurt them.
However, she was determined not to give up in order to win the competition.
They intend to go all out in this match.
After all, the Fire-Water-Wind Team was formed to defeat the Spirit Hall's Second Team and stand until the end.
"Then let's each rely on our own abilities."
Raven responded with a confident remark, then, after a moment's thought, added:
"How about this? Let's skip the testing and just unleash our ultimate moves to settle this once and for all."
Upon hearing this, Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, Huo Wushuang, and Feng Xiaotian on the opposite side also brightened up and nodded in unison:
"Okay, let's do it this way."
With the referee's command, both teams changed their formations almost simultaneously, decisively unleashing their powerful trump cards.
On the Fire-Water-Wind team's side.
Huo Wushuang immediately retreated to the very back of the group, fully activating his martial soul, squeezing out every last drop of his fire-attribute soul power, and then channeling it into the fire-attribute support soul masters in the group through his hands.
This fire-attribute support soul master lit up all of his soul rings, transforming his own soul power and the soul power transferred from Huo Wushuang into soul light, which he then used to enhance Huo Wu through his support soul skills.
As the auxiliary soul light fell upon her, Huo Wu's soul power surged instantly, and a wine-red fire attribute aura surrounded her, making her look like a goddess of fire.
"The Fusion Ring Secret Technique, activate!"
Just then, Huo Wu clasped her hands together, let out a delicate shout, and her five spirit rings—yellow, purple, and black—suddenly merged into a huge, shimmering, golden spirit ring in the astonished gaze of the audience.
The soul power of the three merged and returned to one person.
Huo Wu's soul power surged once again, reaching the level of a level 60 Soul Emperor in an instant.
Huo Wu's side was filled with explosive fire-attribute energy, while Shui Bing'er's side was instantly enveloped by a bone-chilling, extreme ice energy.
But then, Xue Wu, who was standing behind Shui Bing'er, started to dance first.
With her short hair flowing and dancing gracefully, Xue Wu's four spirit rings shone alternately, and circles of blue light spread out with her dance.
As Xue Wu danced gracefully, she used her first soul skill, Dark Cloud, her second soul skill, Rainfall, and her third soul skill, Ice and Snow, almost simultaneously.
Above the arena, a dark cloud suddenly appeared, and large raindrops began to fall from the sky, turning into a large curtain of water.
Immediately afterwards, a chilling aura emanated from Xue Wu and spread throughout the entire area centered on her body.
Temperatures drop dramatically within the area covered by dark clouds, and water droplets that were floating in the sky and rain that had already fallen to the ground instantly freeze into ice crystals.
A large amount of ice and snow was generated, and the entire arena was instantly covered in a layer of white.
Just then, Shui Yue'er, who was standing gracefully next to Shui Bing'er, moved.
With a slight smile on her pretty face, the beautiful girl with long, dark green hair quietly took a few steps back, moving gracefully through the icy rain where ice crystals had formed.
After a few steps, like a dolphin leaping out of the water, it lightly hopped across the ice formed by the rain, heading straight for the snow dance behind it.
Martial Soul Fusion Skill - Falling Snow, activated!
