The next day!
Just as Flender and Yu Xiaogang were leading the remaining teachers and students of Shrek Academy away from the academy, Chen Yuan also set off with Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing to the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena. Today, the arena was unusually lively.
After asking around, Chen Yuan learned that a match between two all-Spirit Elder teams would take place in the main arena today. One team was the locally famous Mad Team, while the other was the Imperial Spirit Team, a group from out of town that had displayed extraordinary strength.
Chen Yuan smiled. It seemed luck was on his side. He had arrived just in time.
He turned to Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing and said:
"Perfect. A match between Spirit Elder teams is definitely worth watching."
Ning Rongrong, intrigued, added:
"Although Heaven Dou Royal Academy is full of spoiled noble kids, noble descendants tend to have better martial souls and higher innate spirit power. As long as this Imperial Spirit Team isn't just using the academy's name for show, their overall strength should be quite impressive."
Zhu Zhuqing didn't speak, but a glimmer of interest flashed in her eyes. After all, this was Heaven Dou Royal Academy, a name as prestigious as Star Luo Royal Academy.
Chen Yuan then bought three tickets for the main arena and led Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing inside, finding their seats to wait for the match to begin.
The tickets for the main arena were expensive, but Suotuo City had no shortage of wealthy individuals. Before long, more and more spectators filled the stands, buzzing with excitement. A match between Spirit Elder teams was undoubtedly a thrilling spectacle for them.
Once the audience was nearly full, a host stepped onto the stage. With a few words, he roused the crowd's enthusiasm, then shouted:
"Now, let's welcome the members of the Mad Team!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a large portion of the audience erupted in cheers:
"Mad Team! Mad Team! Mad Team!"
Amid the cheers, the Mad Team, consisting of six men and one woman, stepped onto the stage, calmly accepting the crowd's adoration.
The host then roared again:
"Today, the Mad Team's opponents are the formidable Imperial Spirit Team. Let's welcome them!"
This announcement sparked even louder cheers than before:
"Imperial Spirit! Imperial Spirit! Imperial Spirit!"
In an instant, the cheers for the Mad Team were drowned out. The members of the Mad Team all wore grim expressions. This lack of support was a clear sign that they were the underdogs. Exchanging glances, they could see the fierce determination in each other's eyes. To make a name for themselves, they had to win today. There was no other option.
Soon, the Imperial Spirit Team, consisting of five men and two women, stepped onto the stage. As they appeared, the cheers reached a crescendo.
Chen Yuan's gaze swept over them, and he immediately spotted the girl he had met three years ago—Dugu Yan.
Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed. Dugu Yan had matured, her purple hair and green eyes giving her an exotic charm. However, her appearance was also a clear sign of her deep poisoning.
Seeing the perfect moment, the host raised one hand high and gripped the microphone with the other, shouting:
"The Mad Team and the Imperial Spirit Team—both are all-Spirit Elder teams, both undefeated. Today's fierce battle will determine who comes out on top. Let's wait and see! Release your spirits and prepare for battle!"
As soon as he finished speaking, both teams instantly released their spirits. The glow of various-colored spirit rings illuminated the entire stage.
The Imperial Spirit Team all had yellow, yellow, and purple spirit ring configurations—a top-tier setup. In contrast, the Mad Team's members mostly had white, yellow, and purple spirit rings, making their overall aura significantly weaker.
Then, the Mad Team's captain, a two-meter-tall burly man, stepped forward. His spirit was a rhinoceros, with white, yellow, and purple spirit rings. Instead of showing any weakness, he boldly raised his thumb and drew it across his neck, grinning with a mocking expression.
This was their usual tactic—to provoke their opponents, forcing them to attack recklessly. Then, they would activate their frenzy state and quickly overwhelm their enemies, leaving them either dead or severely injured.
This strategy had always worked, but today, they were up against no ordinary team.
Faced with such provocation, Yu Tianheng, the leader of the Imperial Spirit Team, said indifferently:
"We'll finish this in three minutes."
His teammates nodded in agreement, as if this were a given.
In the audience, Ning Rongrong began listing off their spirits as if she were an expert:
"Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Jade Phosphorus Snake, Ghost Leopard, Wind Chime Bird, Black Tortoise Shield, Nine-Hearted Begonia. No need to guess—these are definitely students from Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and elite students at that. Their high-level spirits and top-tier spirit ring configurations make their identities clear."
As Ning Rongrong spoke, the battle on the stage had already begun. The Imperial Spirit Team took the initiative, with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon spirit master leading the charge. The Wind Chime Bird and Ghost Leopard spirit masters flanked him on either side, while the two Black Tortoise Shield spirit masters stayed in the center, ready to support the front line or protect the rear. The Jade Phosphorus Snake and Nine-Hearted Begonia spirit masters remained at the back.
Thunder crackled, and blue-purple arcs of electricity spread out. The members of the Mad Team all paled. The destructive aura of the blue-purple lightning made their scalps tingle.
The Mad Team's leader, Mad Rhino, roared:
"Frenzy!"
As soon as he spoke, their only support spirit master activated their thousand-year third spirit skill. A red glow spread out, and the Mad Team members fell into a frenzy.
Their eyes turned blood-red, their breathing quickened, and they charged forward like wild beasts. But what awaited them was Yu Tianheng's relentless fighting style—trading injury for injury, blood for blood, tooth for tooth.
In a matter of moments, the Mad Team members were either severely injured and lying on the ground or thrown off the stage. The match was over.
The Nine-Hearted Begonia spirit master began using their spirit skills to heal the team. The injuries on Yu Tianheng and the others visibly healed, and they stood on the stage, basking in the waves of cheers from the audience.
At this moment, Chen Yuan spotted the Imperial Spirit Team's leader—a man around thirty years old. He knew this was Qin Ming.
Chen Yuan stood up and said to Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing with a smile:
"Let's go. It's time to meet the Imperial Spirit Team's leader."
After saying this, he left the spectator stands, with Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing following closely behind.
Meanwhile, at the edge of the stage!
Qin Ming nodded in satisfaction. The Imperial Spirit Team he had trained had never let him down.
Suddenly, a voice came from behind him:
"You're the leader of the Imperial Spirit Team and a teacher at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, right? May I ask your name?"
Hearing this, Qin Ming's expression changed. Since they had arrived, this was the first time someone had recognized their connection to Heaven Dou Royal Academy. He immediately turned around and saw a young man accompanied by two girls. Frowning slightly, he said in a serious tone:
"I am Qin Ming, a teacher at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. And you are?"
