After the matches concluded, Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong located the resting area of Thunder Academy.
With the Thunder Tyrant Dragon family subtly backing Thunder Academy, Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong revealed their identities and were quickly granted an audience with the guiding teacher of Thunder Academy.
"To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?" The guiding teacher of Thunder Academy was a man dressed in black, with a simple and unadorned face.
"What is your opinion of Northern Academy?" Yu Xiaogang asked calmly.
"Almost invincible." The black-clothed teacher's expression was grave. Being defeated by a contestant from Northern Academy who wielded lightning as their spirit during the preliminaries was a humiliation they couldn't forget.
"We, Shrek, also have some conflicts with them, so we don't want to see their goals achieved so easily," Yu Xiaogang said.
The black-clothed teacher stroked his chin. "You want us to target them as well?"
Yu Xiaogang said indifferently, "They are too arrogant. Their victory over you with lightning in the preliminaries is the best proof of that. They didn't give anyone face at all."
"Hmph…" The black-clothed teacher snorted coldly, his expression displeased.
"I suspect that tomorrow, they will still send Bing Lan out second. What to do is up to you."
After Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, he and Liu Erlong left together.
On the fourth day, Romier was the first to enter the arena for Northern Academy. Their opponents, Thunder Academy, sent out a weaker student.
Romier didn't hesitate and immediately conceded.
Bing Lan stepped onto the stage, and after defeating her opponent, she faced her second opponent, Yu Tianxin, the captain of Thunder Academy, whose spirit was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
Yu Xiaogang exchanged a glance with the guiding teacher of Thunder Academy, and they both smiled knowingly.
Bing Lan's face was full of seriousness. The Thunder Tyrant Dragon family was famous throughout the world. Facing such a powerful beast spirit, and with one less spirit ring than her opponent, she dared not be careless in the slightest.
"Don't fight, come back." Amon pinched his monocle and chuckled.
"Captain?" Bing Lan's face showed a look of confusion. "I can try."
"Come back."
Bing Lan shrugged, put away her spirit, and walked out of the arena.
Yan Jin stepped forward, and as she passed her, she said:
"Don't worry, Amon will pave the way for you. Just crush all the ignorant fools."
Walking onto the arena, Yan Jin grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth. "Amon's plan can't be disrupted. Since you dare to target us, you must be prepared to pay the price."
Yu Tianxin's eyes narrowed slightly. "It's just a reasonable arrangement of appearances. Your Northern Academy's team battles were indeed amazing, and everyone was once deceived by you.
"But this is an individual match, and you shouldn't be able to display the power you had in the preliminaries, right? I will return the humiliation of that time to you."
"Hahahaha… Just you?" Yan Jin summoned magma onto her hands. "I hope your teammates will still dare to stand in front of me later."
"What do you mean?" Yu Tianxin suddenly felt an ominous premonition.
The match began.
"Great Fireball!"
Yan Jin's attack made Yu Tianxin's pupils shrink. That huge magma fist didn't seem any weaker than it had been in the preliminaries.
"How is that possible?"
Yan Jin's attack made everyone who believed Yu Xiaogang's analysis show shocked expressions.
"Didn't they say that the reason they were able to perform like that in the preliminaries was the result of gathering the strength of the entire team?"
"That's not right, this girl is a bit special, we overlooked one point, she is a Spirit King herself! No one else can compare.", someone said.
The surging magma engulfed Yu Tianxin.
But the battle didn't end so easily. A dazzling blue light broke through the magma and charged towards Yan Jin.
After spirit possession, Yu Tianxin's arms transformed into dragon claws, their length increasing by more than half a foot, covered with blue-purple scales, and every joint on his hands became very thick.
Strands of blue-purple electric current roamed around his body like small snakes, preventing the magma from approaching.
The four spirit rings, two yellow and two purple, didn't circle around his body like other spirit masters, but circled around his special dragon claw arms, two on each side.
He let out an angry roar, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, the most top-tier beast spirit, revealed its sharpness at this moment.
"You want to fight me in close combat?" Yan Jin wore a slightly crazy smile on her face, wrapping magma around her arms and meeting him head-on.
The dragon claws collided with the magma fist, and the electric current suddenly erupted, engulfing Yan Jin.
Yu Tianxin's face showed joy. Yan Jin was a weapon spirit master and didn't have the strong physique after beast spirit possession. He never doubted the domineering nature and power of the lightning carried by the Thunder Tyrant Dragon spirit. Being hit head-on, even a beast spirit master wouldn't be able to withstand it.
The joy on his face didn't last long, because magma had already wrapped around his arm.
Yan Jin, whose body surface was also covered in magma, said disdainfully, "Is that all you've got?"
She had rich experience in dealing with electric current. After all, she had fought her younger brother more than once or twice. If she didn't have some means of dealing with it, then she, as the older sister, would be the one getting beaten.
Yan Jin pulled hard, causing Yu Tianxin to stagger.
A look of surprise appeared on his face. A weapon spirit master actually had so much strength!
Yan Jin's physique was already strong, surpassing ordinary people since she was a child, and each time she absorbed a spirit ring, she exceeded the time limit, resulting in further amplification.
The Earth Dragon Golden Melon endowed her with the earth's thickness and strength, and her spirit power level exceeded Yu Tianxin's by a full 12 levels. Coupled with excellent fighting skills, all these factors allowed her to gain the upper hand in close combat with Yu Tianxin.
She leaned forward, pressing her shoulder against Yu Tianxin's chest, and the two of them fell into the magma together.
The arena suddenly fell silent, leaving only that large mass of magma.
The Thunder Academy side fell into unease. The guiding teacher in black frowned, his eyes fixed on the magma.
After a while, the magma slowly gathered and disappeared into Yan Jin's hands.
Her fifth soul ring could also absorb the used magma back, thereby saving soul power consumption.
At this moment, the scene on the field was revealed. Yan Jin was standing, with a smile on her face, unscathed.
Yu Tianxin was lying down, vomiting blood, looking miserable, his breath faint.
"Here, take it back." Yan Jin kicked Yu Tianxin towards the Thunder Academy as if kicking a ball.
Their guiding teacher caught Yu Tianxin, dissolved the force he was carrying, and after checking him over, a look of anger appeared on his face, "This is a foul."
Yu Tianxin was severely injured, with multiple comminuted fractures all over his body, internal bleeding, and his whole body seemed to have been crushed by a heavy object.
This was another attack method of Yan Jin. Being swallowed by her magma was like being buried in the ground. She could simulate the power of the earth to squeeze her opponent.
"I've said it before, since you deliberately disrupted Amon's plan, then you must be prepared to pay the price. Before you made the decision and arranged the order of appearance, didn't you consider this?" Yan Jin said coldly.
The healing soul masters arranged by the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family came forward immediately, stabilized Yu Tianxin's injuries, and took him down for further treatment.
The guiding teacher of Thunder Academy lodged a protest with the competition organizing committee.
Salas said lightly: "The person is not dead yet. Isn't it normal to get injured in a fight?"
Emperor Xue Ye did not object.
The Northern Academy's act of "farming wins" did not arouse his disgust. On the contrary, this was exactly what he hoped to see, because it meant that the other party was willing to accept the royal family's solicitation.
The protest failed, and the competition continued.
"Next? Is there anyone else who dares to come?" Yan Jin looked at the remaining players of Thunder Academy.
According to the submitted order of appearance, the next one would be their vice-captain, Lei Dong.
Lei Dong didn't dare to meet her eyes, lowered his head, and struggled inwardly.
He felt fear towards Yan Jin's ruthless methods, but surrendering without a fight made him feel ashamed, making him seem like a coward.
After hesitating for a moment, Lei Dong gritted his teeth and slowly walked towards the arena, with a sense of going to his death generously.
"No need, we, Thunder Academy, concede. Good, very good." The black-clothed teacher looked at Yan Jin coldly, as if to remember her appearance in his heart.
"Heh, Thunder Academy? A bunch of spineless things." Romier mocked, "They don't even have the courage to finish the match."
"Bastard, say that again?"
The black-clothed teacher, who had been forcibly suppressing his anger, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and burst out with the aura of a Soul Sage, with killing intent accompanying his soul power pressing towards Romier.
This made the latter couldn't help but shudder.
Amon put his hand on his shoulder, with a smile on his face, "Don't worry, this is the arena, he wouldn't dare to attack."
The methods displayed by the Northern Academy made the other academies feel lingering fear.
Some of the academy's guiding teachers who had also thought about targeting them showed a look of rejoicing. Thanks to Thunder Academy for helping them test the waters, otherwise, it would be their own academy's students who would be seriously injured and affect the subsequent competition, or even their future soul master path.
"Bing Lan, in the subsequent matches, you will be the first to play. If you encounter a weak one, fight normally, just like the Blazing Academy before. If you encounter a strong one, just admit defeat directly, we will take care of it."
Amon's voice was not loud, but it was exceptionally clear, and all the soul masters present could hear it.
The others also understood what he wanted to convey. If they cooperated, like the Blazing Academy, then the Northern Academy would also appreciate their kindness and eventually take the initiative to admit defeat. If they didn't cooperate, Thunder Academy would be the example.
"They are blatantly threatening us, aren't they?" Xiao Wu said indignantly.
"But what can we do? He didn't directly threaten us. Even if we complain, there won't be any results." Yu Xiaogang shook his head helplessly.
"So despicable." Dai Mubai snorted coldly.
Ma Hongjun glanced at Yan Jin, with a trace of fear and rejoicing on his face. He still remembered when he first saw her, he had lustful thoughts... Luckily, it was in the rest area where fighting was not allowed!
"Then what should we do later? Should we just surrender when we encounter them?" Zhu Zhuqing asked worriedly.
Tang San pondered for a moment, and said firmly: "Fight! Always avoiding is not a solution, we will have to face it sooner or later, at least to figure out some of their details."
Dai Mubai echoed: "Xiao San is right, I've wanted to fight them for a long time."
Yu Xiaogang opened his mouth, wanting to object, but heard Tang San say:
"Teacher, you don't need to persuade us anymore. Didn't you say before? We can't lose our spirit. If we retreat again and again, we may never be able to be the proud Shrek again!"
"Third brother is right, let's beat them up!" Ma Hongjun expressed his opinion.
"Brother, I'll listen to you." Xiao Wu said softly.
"Then let's fight!" Oscar nodded.
Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes at him, "Fighting has nothing to do with us two auxiliary soul masters."
"Uh..." Oscar scratched the back of his head, looking a little embarrassed.
"By the way, speaking of this, their captain is also an auxiliary soul master, with no combat power. The restrictions on the Northern Academy in the individual battle will only be greater than ours." Jing Ling had a sinister smile on his face.
Tang San and Yu Xiaogang looked at each other, but still didn't tell the truth, worried that they would ruin the morale that they had finally raised.
The fact that Shi Nian died at the hands of Amon was only known to Tang San and the teachers of Shrek. The students were still kept in the dark.
After all, this matter had too much influence. If someone accidentally let it slip, it would bring a lot of trouble to Tang San.
