Chapter 149: The promotion match begins, Yun Ming preaches
A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the qualifying round of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition will officially begin tomorrow.

The promotion matches were still divided into two empires. On the Tiandou Empire side, including the five teams that qualified from the Tiandou City qualifiers, a total of 15 teams had completed the registration process in the morning and gathered at the promotion match location.

The promotion competition is also a round-robin system, but because the number of teams has been reduced a lot, the competition time has also been reduced from one month to half a month.

And unlike the preliminaries, no spectators were allowed to watch the promotion matches. So the venue for the match was not an ordinary fighting spirit venue, but the barracks of the Royal Knights of the Tiandou Empire, the Royal Hunting Ground.

The Royal Hunting Ground is located 50 kilometers southwest of Tiandou City. The hunting ground has a wide range of terrain and is where the royal family members hunt and train.

After Yun Ming showed his promotion certificate to the knights stationed in the hunting ground, he was led by the soldiers to the grassland behind the hunting ground.

On the grassland, a large number of military camps formed a circle, and the battle venue for the promotion match was at the center of the circle in the center of the military camps.

After being shown the competition venue by the guiding general, Yun Ming and the people of the empire were taken to the barracks assigned to them, which would be their residence for a period of time.

After explaining all the details to everyone in the empire, he guided the generals to resign.

Yun Ming said to everyone in the empire.

“Okay, everyone has worked hard in this month’s training. Have a good rest today, and show everyone your personal style tomorrow!”

Everyone responded.

“Yes, Captain!”

The next morning, the promotion competition officially began at the Royal Knights’ parade ground.

A total of fifteen teams participating in the promotion round will compete in fourteen rounds of round-robin matches, one round per day, with one team having a bye every day and seven games. They are all held in the same venue.

On the north side of the parade ground, a VIP viewing seat was built facing south, but the number of VIPs who could come to watch the game today was much less than that of the preliminaries. Looking around, except for the first row of Emperor Xue Ye, the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect Ning Fengzhi, the Platinum Bishop Saras, and a few others, the others were all high-ranking officials of the Tiandou Empire’s military and the Tiandou City Wuhun Temple.

After all, team battles and individual battles are different. In addition to individual strength, team battles also require coordination and tactics, so sometimes you have to sacrifice some personal style to complete the team, and you can’t perfectly demonstrate your personal abilities. Individual battles are different. One-on-one fights will fully display the individual’s combat qualities in front of the spectators, and it is also the best reflection of the soul master’s personal real combat power.

All fifteen participating teams have now arrived at the scene, even the teams that had a bye today. They will all be opponents in the future, so it is good to see more of their strength.

The rules of the promotion match are that each team sends seven players to participate, and every player on the field must fight until he is defeated. The winner will face the next opponent until all seven players on one side are defeated.

As for today’s matches, the draw was completed last night. Today, the Imperial Academy will play against the Blazing Academy, which is scheduled to be the first of the seven matches today.

Although it was possible that it was just luck, Yun Ming would rather believe that this was a secret operation by the Tiandou Empire in order to demonstrate the national strength with the powerful strength of the Imperial Academy and to intimidate the kingdoms and principalities under the Tiandou Empire.

As all the teams gathered together, everyone in the empire naturally saw many familiar faces.

Yu Tianxin from Lei Ting, sisters Shui Bing’er and Shui Yue’er from Tianshui, brothers and sisters of the Huo family from Chihuo, Ma Hongjun, and Feng Xiaotian’s old teammates from Kamikaze.

Everyone in the empire saw others, and many teams were watching them.

The academies of other kingdoms and principalities kept a close eye on the four elemental academies, because the previous elemental academies were the best in the Tiandou academy world. And because the four elemental academies of Thunder, Divine Wind, Blazing Fire, and Sky Water were all defeated by the Imperial Team in this competition, they all kept a close eye on the Imperial Team, and caused other participating teams to also keep a close eye on the Imperial Team.

On the rostrum, the competition commentator announced.

“The first match of the first round of the promotion match, Imperial College vs Blazing College, has officially begun. Both teams are invited to send their first players onto the field.”

Before Yun Ming sent anyone out, he heard the blazing Huo Wu step onto the stage and shout to the Empire.

“Feng Xiaotian, come up and fight me again!”

In the last team competition, Chihuo faced the Empire and was basically defeated across the board. Even in a team competition, the difference in individual strength could be clearly seen.

The Empire team played in the preliminaries for a whole month. In fact, they could not be said to have used any tactics. After all, in most cases, they relied purely on the strong fighting power of each member to fight one against two or one against three, plus Gong Ming’s Mingjian finishing blow and Ye Qingyin’s physical and mental exhaustion song in a few battles.

But Huo Wu was not convinced! She was competitive to begin with, and losing was enough to make her angry. Last time she played with Feng Xiaotian, she was forced to trade pieces by Feng Xiaotian. This kind of draw made her even more dissatisfied, which led to her challenging Feng Xiaotian today.

When Feng Xiaotian heard Huo Wu challenge him by name, his face turned bitter. He really didn’t want to fight Huo Wu! It was difficult for him to maintain the overall draw and not hurt Huo Wu, after all, Huo Wu was not weak.

Yun Ming couldn’t stand watching Feng Xiaotian like this anymore, he was too much of a flatterer. He warned him.

“Feng Xiaotian, a girl like Huo Wu probably likes men who are stronger than her, not only in terms of strength but also in character. You are acting so humble, it may be difficult to win her favor.”

When Feng Xiaotian heard Yun Ming’s analysis of love, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly.

“Captain, are you telling the truth?!”

Yun Ming said calmly.

“I guess so!”

Mainly in Yun Ming’s impression, being strong enough and handsome seems to have met the mate selection criteria of most girls on the mainland, especially for a powerful female spirit master.

As for the theoretical basis, Yun Ming had none, it was all based on experience. After all, in his previous life, Yun was also a person who was still being pursued by several powerful and beautiful soul masters even after getting married!
With Yun Ming’s abstract guidance, Feng Xiaotian saw a new path.

What can I say! Let’s give it a try. At worst, if I fail to beat Huo Wu on stage and cause her dissatisfaction, I can let her fight back after I get off stage, and then continue to practice my dog-licking ways. Feng Xiaotian walked onto the stage with such a thought in mind.

Huo Wu saw Feng Xiaotian finally coming up and said seriously.

“Feng Xiaotian, I want you to use all your strength this time, and I will definitely defeat you.”

Feng Xiaotian subconsciously wanted to brush off Huo Wu’s harsh words before the game in a friendly manner, but thinking that Huo Wu was here today to practice new tactics, he pretended to be tough.

“I will definitely be the winner in the end.”

This is Feng Xiaotian’s confidence, and it is also the final most likely result. This is the harshest thing he can say to Huo Wu.

The referee announced as he saw the two men in position.

“Game start!”

The referee left the field, Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu’s martial spirits took possession, and the battle officially began.

Feng Xiaotian entered combat mode, suppressed all other emotions in his heart, exerted force on his feet, turned into a phantom, and rushed towards Huo Wu.

The two were initially fifteen meters apart, which was neither long nor short, but for Feng Xiaotian now, it was just a blink of an eye.

Huo Wu had just seen Feng Xiaotian’s actions when Keren appeared in front of her the next second. She was shocked, it was so fast!

It’s not that she had fought with Feng Xiaotian before, but Feng Xiaotian wasn’t as strong as he is now, and he always held back when fighting with her, so the fights between the two ended in a draw or Huo Wu won, and Feng Xiaotian never won.

But now when she was really facing Feng Xiaotian who was using all his strength, she felt an unprecedented pressure, stronger than all the peers she had met before.

Huo Wu is a control-type soul master, and her martial soul is a fire shadow, not a physical enhancement type beast martial soul, and is not good at close combat. Now that she has lost the initiative, she can only use her core control soul skills.

Under Huo Wu’s feet, the third soul ring lit up, and the “Resist Fire Ring” was activated.

The Fire Resist Ring skill has no attack power, but it can eject all enemies within the Fire Resist Ring range to a certain range. The ejection distance and how to distinguish between enemies and friends depends on the soul master’s own control.

A dazzling ring of flames suddenly broke out and spread to wherever it was needed.

Looking at the raging flames coming from the front, Feng Xiaotian’s response was very direct.

The third soul ring under Feng Xiaotian’s feet lit up, and the ‘Swift Wind Wings’ were activated. A pair of huge blue wings spread out from his back, and Feng Xiaotian soared into the sky.

Huo Wu’s soul skill is good in every way. It has a large range and strong effect. As long as the opponent’s attack skill is not higher than Huo Wu’s own soul power level 10, it can ignore any skills and defenses, and all skills within the range of the fire ring will be temporarily expelled. But there is also a disadvantage that is not a disadvantage, that is, the height of the flame does not exceed three meters. So Feng Xiaotian chose to fly directly over.

Feng Xiaotian flew into the air without stopping. Just as he dodged the flames, the first soul ring under his feet lit up again, and the “Wind Blade Array” was activated.

The sharp wolf claws popped out from Feng Xiaotian’s palm, and the wolf claws swung out ten semi-arc wind blades, directly blocking all the ways Huo Wu could dodge. At the same time, he also flew down from the sky and accelerated towards Huo Wu.

Huo Wu saw that she had just dealt with Feng Xiaotian’s charge, and now the wind blade attack came again, and it was already very close.

He gritted his teeth, and his first soul ring lit up. A fireball appeared directly in front of Huo Wu, and then exploded directly.

Feng Xiaotian’s attack was too fast, so she could only use this method to minimize the losses.

The explosion of the fireball shattered the wind blade and also injured herself, but it was better than being directly cut by Feng Xiaotian’s wind blade.

But even so, it ends here. Feng Xiaotian tore the smoke and dust with one claw, and the other claw directly pressed in front of Huo Wu. Feng Xiaotian whispered.

“Sister Huowu, you lose!”

Seeing that Huo Wu, the famous genius of Tiandou, was defeated by Feng Xiaotian in just a moment, the whole audience was shocked.

“The Blazing Academy’s signature genius was defeated just like that?!!”

“This Feng Xiaotian is too strong, how can we win!”

“.”

Although Feng Xiaotian’s understanding of Huo Wu and his ability to control the types of spirit masters were taken into account, it was still too fast. Feng Xiaotian’s old rivals Yu Tianxin and Huo Wushuang felt a great deal of pressure when they saw Feng Xiaotian’s battle today.

Yu Tianxin was very sure that Feng Xiaotian was stronger than in the previous preliminaries.

Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi and Salas’ eyes lit up when they saw Feng Xiaotian’s fighting power. The rhythm of the battle was too smooth. If the current situation was not inappropriate, they would have stepped down to win him over.

Huo Wu was a little confused when she saw the wolf claws in front of her. Was she defeated so easily? But she hadn’t even used her fourth soul skill and the ring fusion secret method yet! She was a little unwilling!
Feng Xiaotian looked at Huo Wu’s eyes and recalled his past self. He probably saw these things as well. Thinking of Yun Ming’s first teaching, he started to act smart.

“Fighting is actually very simple. It’s just about hitting with the right force at the right time and in the right place. That’s how you win.”

“No matter how powerful your charged attack is, if you can’t use it and can’t hit anyone, it’s useless.”

As soon as Feng Xiaotian finished speaking, he turned around and walked off the stage, leaving Huo Wu with a dashing back view, a perfect farewell!
