Chapter 280 How about a bet?
“Shrek Academy’s research on battle armor is so in-depth!” Xu Tianran was surprised, and then his face darkened. He looked at Huo Yuhao and He Caitou, thinking that it might have been a mistake to let these exchange students leave. Jing Hongchen once told him that although Fan Yu, He Caitou, and Huo Yuhao’s soul guide research talents were not as good as Arthas’s, they were also among the best in the world.

These three people are most likely the biggest contributors to Shrek Academy’s research and development of Dou Kai reaching this level.

Zhongli Wu gave his personal opinion at this time.

“Looking at this girl’s performance, the research direction of Shrek Academy should be mainly to enhance the ability of individual martial spirits, rather than war.”

In other words, the impact on the war would not be too great. Most importantly, Shrek Academy did not realize that the war was approaching.

Xu Tianran understood and nodded slightly.

The battle continued on the field. Lu Jun’s battle armor was designed for offense and defense, but because of this, there were too many types of soul guides, and the speed was slightly inferior. On the other side, Jiang Nannan’s battle armor was soft and beautiful, and looked quite light. It was obviously designed for speed. Therefore, the scene on the field was one side attacking fiercely and the other side constantly dodging.

“Boom boom boom” sparks flew in the air and a pink light shuttled through it at an extremely fast speed.

“Maybe it’s time to make a change.” Looking at the air battle on the field, Nan Shuishui became more and more emotional.

“I never thought that today’s soul guides have developed to such a level!” The contestants behind him were also deeply moved.

Not only the Earth Dragon Gate, many soul masters from the original three empires had this idea.

“Let’s see how long you can hide!” In the air, Lu Jun got angry and started releasing a range soul guide cannon.

High-explosive flame bombs set off a sea of ​​fire in the air, and thunderstorm bombs exploded large areas of lightning nets in the air with extraordinary power.

“Invincible Golden Body!” Jiang Nannan was forced to activate the Invincible Golden Body. At the same time, she had an idea in her mind and saw an opportunity.

“Teleport!” Using the firelight to conceal his figure, he flashed behind Lu Jun, put his five fingers together to form a knife, and a blade quickly popped out from the side of his little finger. Dazzling lightning arcs gathered on it, and he raised his hand to slash at the gap in the battle armor on Lu Jun’s neck.

Because he was in the blind spot, Lu Jun didn’t even have time to react and was hit directly.

With a “crackling” sound, an arc of electricity burst out, and a crack instantly appeared on the battle armor, but it did not penetrate deep into the inside.

At this moment, the passively triggered soul guide invincible shield on Lu Jun was activated, and Jiang Nannan was bounced away on the spot. However, the thunder attribute attack attached to Jiang Nannan’s hand knife still made Lu Jun suddenly feel numb behind his head, and his body couldn’t help but twitch.

“The defense mechanism that needs to be triggered by contact is indeed not able to react in time.” Minghui chuckled as he saw this.

This is also the technical limitation of the current battle armor. It is a bit late to trigger it after the knife hits the body. And there is no good solution at present, unless it is a spiritual attribute soul master with super strong induction, which can activate the defense mechanism in advance.

According to Arthas’ description, Mingdetang is developing a soul guide with radar-like functions as a replacement, but it has not been developed yet.

“Perhaps in the near future, Iron Man can really become a reality.” Minghui sighed.

His arrival did indeed promote the development of soul guide technology.

Within her field of vision, Jiang Nannan seized the brief moment when Lu Jun’s body was paralyzed and he could no longer control the soul guide, and launched a fierce attack. In the blink of an eye, she broke through the passively activated invincible shield with high-frequency attacks and attacked Lu Jun’s body inside.

With a heavy kick, the still dazed Lu Jun was kicked to the ground, and his battle armor was broken.

Seeing that Lu Jun had lost his ability to move, Jiang Nannan did not pursue him anymore, but immediately took out a bottle of milk to replenish his soul power.

“In order to deal with us, Shrek Academy is indeed well prepared!” Outside the field, Xiao Hongchen’s expression was slightly condensed.

He instinctively thought that the soul guides on Jiang Nannan’s body were all from Shrek Academy.

Meng Hongchen thought more and said thoughtfully, “I’m afraid that Shrek Academy also wants to use this opportunity to show our Sun Moon Empire their research results in soul guides, so as to make the Empire feel apprehensive. It seems that the previous exchanges have indeed made them gain a lot.”

But without that exchange, Arthas would not have joined the Sun-Moon Empire to develop battle armor. It can only be said that both sides have benefited, and now it depends on who can lead further.

Xu Tianran also thought so, but he was not prepared to give Shrek Academy any more time. He wanted to start a war after the Soul Master Competition was over.

As long as the Sun-Moon Empire unifies the continent, the research and development progress of Shrek Academy will naturally stop there.

“In the first match, Soul Palace wins.” The referee confirmed that Lu Jun had lost the ability to fight again and announced the result of the match loudly.

The second contestant from Mingdu Soul Instructor Academy came on the field. This time he was good at speed, but he was still not as fast as Jiang Nannan. In the end, Jiang Nannan seized the opportunity and used gravity control, invincible golden body and teleportation soul skills to take him away in one wave.

“I’ll go in!” As the captain, Xu Tianzhen couldn’t stand it anymore, and went on the court angrily, ready to restore the team’s morale.

The game started, Xu Tianzhen activated the golden battle armor and released his martial spirit.

“Nannan, come back.” Minghui said suddenly.

Jiang Nannan admitted defeat without hesitation and turned around and jumped off the stage.

Xu Tianzhen felt like he was being fooled, and angrily shouted at Minghui, “Minghui, you coward!”

Seeing this, Orange, who was sitting next to Arthas, shook his head slightly. At the same time, he knew that Jiang Nannan’s physical strength must have been consumed a lot in the first two battles, which was not something that Milk Bottle could quickly replenish. The reason why Minghui didn’t call her off the field was obviously because he wanted to see what the next opponent’s martial spirit was so that he could respond. As for calling Jiang Nannan off the field, of course it was to avoid injury.

As Soul Emperors, Jiang Nannan’s physical strength was seriously depleted, while Xu Tianzhen was still in full condition. It would be unwise to fight head-on.

The most important thing is that Soul Hall has already won two games and has the advantage, so there is no need to take any more risks.

“Hey, Princess Tian Zhen is good in every way, except that she is a little too straightforward.” On the other side, Xiao Hongchen looked helpless.

Xu Tianran, who was sitting in the VIP seat, had the same idea and shook his head as he watched.

Off the field, Minghui was transmitting the message, “Qiu’er, her martial soul is the Sun, the inherited martial soul of the Sun-Moon Empire’s royal family.”

“It is said that the Dragon God bathed in the essence of the sun and the moon, and gave rise to the golden dragon and the silver dragon. The golden dragon inherited the essence of the sun, and thus gained ultimate power.”

“Bath in the sunlight she releases, perhaps your martial spirit can be further improved.”

“You can try it later.”

Wang Qiuer’s eyes lit up, she nodded calmly, then stood up and went on stage.

Xu Tianzhen was still angry. When he saw Wang Qiuer coming on the stage, he looked her up and down and said something shocking.

“Being big is great!”

Wang Qiuer was stunned for a moment, then her face flushed slightly as if she thought of something, but quickly disappeared.

With a wave of his hand, the golden dragon spear appeared in his hand.

The opening was a fierce attack, relying on the super defense of the Golden Dragon Martial Spirit to withstand the attack and pursue Xu Tianzhen. After a short while, Xu Tianran’s fifth soul skill, Brilliant Light, was forced out. This was a soul skill similar to a domain, which could condense the light from the sun to continuously increase the temperature in the domain, continuously burning the enemy, and the self could control this power and accumulate power to explode.

Wang Qiuer, who possesses the ultimate fire attribute, can of course feel the temperature rising around her. Instead of retreating, she moves forward with an even more fiery gaze.

However, the clothes on her body could not withstand such a high temperature and she did not want to make a fool of herself in public, so she immediately activated the power of the Golden Dragon King’s bloodline in her body, allowing dragon scales to cover her entire body, forming a set of unique golden scale armor.

On the other side, Xu Tianzhen, who was in the center of the field, was not affected by the high temperature at all, and his face looked fierce.

While flying backwards to keep a safe distance, he shouted, “Let’s see how long you can hold on!” As the temperature continued to rise, dark red molten iron appeared on the ground inside the protective shield, and the air began to distort.

“Such a high temperature!” Xu Sanshi and others were shocked.

The next second, the gauze of the special soul guide in front of Wang Qiuer began to melt, and soon revealed its true appearance.

“So beautiful!” Many men outside the venue showed expressions of fascination.

Even Xu Tianran was stunned, and then a sense of heat rose in his heart and he clenched his fists slightly.

“As the future master of the continent, only I am worthy of possessing such a beauty in the world!” he said in his heart.

For a while, the desire to cure the hidden disease was stronger than before. The next moment, the corner of his eye swept in the direction of Arthas, who had a calm expression without a ripple. On the contrary, Orange and Ke Ke beside him both showed a hint of surprise on their faces.

“Orange, it seems that your feelings for Arthas are in vain.” Xu Tianran sneered in his heart.

He was not tempted by such a beauty as Wang Qiuer. He now truly believed that Arthas had no interest in women at all.

Thinking of this, his eyes continued to look up into the air.

Wang Qiuer had flowing golden hair, a graceful figure, a cold and resolute expression, and her every frown and smile fascinated him.

Xu Tianran, she dares to aim at him like this, if you don’t die, who will? Arthas thought to himself, sensing Xu Tianran’s direction with his mental power without looking.

He glanced at Minghui from the corner of his eye. The other person’s face was calm. As for what he was thinking in his heart, he had no idea.

Anyway, he knew that the master was very stingy!
“Sixth soul skill, sun gaze!”

On the field, Xu Tianzhen, feeling that the power of the sun’s true fire had been condensed to the controllable limit, gritted his teeth and released his sixth martial soul. The golden-red light in the field suddenly gathered and finally turned into a beam of light that converged on Wang Qiuer.

“Gurgle gurgle.” The ground was directly burned into boiling magma.

“Captain, is Sister Qiu’er okay?” Xiao Xiao looked worried.

“Don’t worry, Qiu’er is fine.” Minghui said calmly, “In fact, you can get great benefits.”

“It’s over!” In the air, Xu Tianzhen looked very proud.

However, the next second, a cold response came from the beam, “It is indeed over, but it is you who is over!”

“How could that be?” Xu Tianzhen’s expression turned into surprise.

Then the golden beam of light accelerated and converged, revealing Wang Qiuer who was holding the golden dragon spear high in her hand.

Her blonde hair was like a waterfall, her face was absolutely beautiful, and her facial features became more delicate than before, as if they had been polished again, making her look more noble and majestic.

Then, a golden dragon suddenly appeared, and it let out a loud dragon roar. Then it took a big gulp, sucking all the golden light in the air into its mouth.

After a blink of an eye, the golden dragon closed its mouth and turned into golden light and sank into Wang Qiuer’s body.

“I also have to thank you for gathering the power of the sun’s true fire, which allowed my golden dragon martial soul to take another step forward and my soul power to be increased by one level.” Wang Qiuer said lightly.

“If you are willing to help me improve my soul power a little more, I would be very grateful.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Tianzhen’s face darkened and he became stunned. It took him a while to come back to his senses and he lowered his head dejectedly.

“Oh, I lost.”

“You should understand that in my current state, you have no chance in the individual elimination round.” Wang Qiuer continued, her tone much softer. Although they were rivals, Xu Tianzhen had helped her refine her martial soul and bloodline after all, so she was in a good mood at the moment.

“You’re right.” Xu Tianzhen raised his head with a look of regret, and then suddenly called out, “Wang Qiuer!”

Wang Qiuer frowned instantly.

“It would be great if you were a man!” Xu Tianzhen clenched her fists and shouted with courage, “I will pursue you at all costs, become your woman, and tie you firmly to the Sun Moon Empire!”

“6!” Minghui was shocked.

The love continent is so terrifying!
“Get out!” Wang Qiuer’s face was gloomy and her words were concise.

“Goodbye!” Xu Tianzhen turned around and ran, jumped off the stage, and walked towards the stunned team members.

“This naive princess is so brave!” On the other side, Ke Ke said after she came to her senses.

The continent of love is so terrifying. Arthas nodded slightly, expressing his deep agreement.

In the VIP seat, Xu Tianran had a dark face. However, if he could really tie Wang Qiuer to the Sun Moon Empire, he would still be happy.

After bathing in the sunlight, Wang Qiuer became even more beautiful!
The referee announced the result of the match, the Soul Hall team won, and Wang Qiuer jumped off the stage expressionlessly.

“Sister Qiu’er, you have become more beautiful.” Xiao Xiao sighed as he looked her up and down.

“Captain, have you guessed it a long time ago?” Ning Tian said at this time.

“Yes.” Minghui nodded, “I read an introduction about the Golden Dragon in the Poseidon Pavilion Library.”

“So that’s how it is!” Ning Tian nodded slightly.

“I’m going back to the hotel first.” Wang Qiuer approached and said, “I just got promoted and need to consolidate it as soon as possible.”

“Anyway, our game is over, let’s go back together.” Minghui, who knew Wang Qiuer’s situation, said as he stood up.

So, the team leader left first.

The quarterfinals ended quickly, and the top four teams were announced, namely Soul Hall, Shrek Academy, Sky Soul Royal Academy, and Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. After a short break, the four teams in the semifinals were matched after a draw, namely Shrek Academy vs. Sky Soul Royal Academy, Soul Hall vs. Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, the former played in the morning, and the latter played in the afternoon.

As soon as the results came out, Xiao Hongchen and his sister immediately brought their team to Minghui.

“Minghui, this time, I will definitely be the winner!” Xiao Hongchen said confidently with full of fighting spirit.

“Then let’s wait and see!” Minghui said with a smile, “My little brother!”

Xiao Hongchen’s face flushed and he looked ashamed and angry.

At this time, Meng Hongchen suddenly said, “Minghui, how about we make a bet during this duel?”

“Oh?” Minghui became interested. “What are you betting on?”
