Chapter 264: With the Goal of Breaking Up

Jian Douluo did not keep Qin Jian high in the air for long.

After half a day passed, seeing that Qin Jian's mood had recovered quite well, he brought him back down to the Royal Hunting Ground.

The subsequent matches had no suspense; once Qin Jian's five Soul Rings appeared, the teams he encountered almost surrendered immediately, and only a few Soul Ancestors put up a fight, but they didn't even force out a single soul skill from Qin Jian.

It is worth mentioning the Plant Academy; Qin Jian showed them no mercy at all, and even the girls were beaten miserably, truly becoming the Shattered Leaf Academy.

During this period, they also encountered the Tianshui Academy; Qin Jian naturally wouldn't be that harsh to them, but Shui Bing'er and the others conceded directly, having no intention of competing with him at all.

Just like that, they arrived at the final two rounds of the Promotion Tournament, and Qin Jian, who had smoothly completed twelve "one-versus-seven" sweeps, finally faced a challenge.

"Just received news that the Star Luo Empire competition zone has finished the Promotion Tournament ahead of schedule; our zone needs to accelerate, so..."

Platinum Bishop Salas glanced quietly in the direction of Shrek Academy, then said: "The final two rounds of the Promotion Tournament will all be completed today."

The other academies had no particular reaction yet, but Grandmaster on the Shrek side frowned: "Your Excellency Bishop, to complete two rounds of the Promotion Tournament in a single day, there will be no time for the contestants to rest."

Hearing someone question his words, a gloomy look immediately appeared on Salas's face: "It is the same for all academies; even if there is no time to rest, it will not affect fairness."

"This is different; other academies are not like our Shrek Academy, which has to face the two major undefeated strong teams, Thunder Academy and Shenfeng Academy..."

Grandmaster argued based on reason: "It is very unfortunate that our three teams have not met each other; logically, we should fight one match each over three days, how can it be finished in one day?"

"It can be finished..."

Salas smiled gloomily: "Because Thunder Academy has already decided to concede in their match against Shenfeng Academy, so today they only need to finish their respective matches against you, Shrek."

"A gauntlet? This is malicious targeting of our Shrek!" Grandmaster's eyes widened in anger.

Even Ning Fengzhi and Emperor Xueye frowned.

"Your Excellency Bishop, such an arrangement seems inappropriate."

Ning Fengzhi said calmly: "It is of no consequence if our zone is a day or two slower; why arrange it so tightly?"

Salas did not give an inch: "This rule applies to all academies, and Thunder Academy's withdrawal is also within the rules; it is equally fair to every team, and Shrek can also choose to concede."

"Besides, didn't they use one person to sweep through all the teams?"

Salas pointed at Qin Jian and said: "Then why not let us see if he can pull off a one-versus-fourteen, creating the highest record in the Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament of the entire Dalu."

Once things reached this point, Ning Fengzhi could no longer argue, because this was indeed within the rules.

He watched Qin Jian's tall, slender figure silently, standing there like a sword that had never bent.

To make him retreat without a fight, that should be impossible, right...

But now the Spirit Hall has clearly noticed him... cough, anyone who isn't blind can see him...

Ning Fengzhi's gaze was deep, feeling a bit of unease in his heart.

Although they have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as a backing, the Spirit Hall shouldn't openly make a move against Qin Jian, but there will surely be no shortage of underhanded methods.

If it weren't for the fact that the sect must have a Title Douluo to hold the fort, he would have wanted to bring both Jian Douluo and Gu Douluo to Wuhun City...

"Qin Jian, I have been observing Thunder Academy and Shenfeng Academy; neither team used their full strength in the preliminary rounds..."

Grandmaster helplessly accepted the match arrangement and returned to say to Qin Jian: "A lot was exposed in the Promotion Tournament; the team members are strong, and many are not below you all. A one-versus-fourteen... hmm, although it sounds satisfying, it is actually unrealistic."

"I suggest you handle one academy, and leave the other to your teammates," Grandmaster said.

Tang San's eyes instantly became as bright as a 600-watt lightbulb.

"But Grandmaster, we have gone to such lengths to hide Xiao San until now; are we going to fall short at the final hurdle?" Qin Jian said.

Grandmaster rubbed his temples in distress: "There is no other way; it is truly because those two academies have become shameless in order to break Shrek's winning streak..."

"How about this, Grandmaster..."

Qin Jian smiled and said: "Just let me go up first and try my best to fight down the line; only when I can't go on, arrange for others to go up."

"You... still haven't given up on the idea of a one-versus-fourteen?" Grandmaster said in surprise.

Tang San and the others also looked at him with astonishment.

Qin Jian looked at the teams in the arena, especially sweeping a glance at Huo Wu in the center of the Blazing Fire Team, and slowly closed his eyes: "Just pretend that I... am venting..."

"Brother Jian..."

Ning Rongrong silently hugged his arm: "Don't push yourself too hard; we are always standing behind you."

"Qin Jian, your soul power aura is a bit strange..."

Liu Erlong suddenly looked at Qin Jian and said: "Why does it feel like your soul power is fluctuating up and down, not stable? Did something go wrong with your Soul Ring absorption?"

Flender heard this and nodded: "I have this feeling too; Qin Jian, did you rush your cultivation and go astray?"

Once these words were spoken, Tang San and the others immediately looked over with concern.

"Brother Jian, is there a problem with your soul power level?" Ning Rongrong asked tentatively.

Qin Jian smiled helplessly: "I am fine; just consider it that this time the Soul Beast was too special, and the soul power it bestowed has been fluctuating."

No one could understand.

Only Xiao Wu suddenly raised her head, a strange look appearing in her big eyes: "Brother, so... the next one... is me?"

Qin Jian sighed and nodded.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's expressions immediately became strange, while the others were completely bewildered.

"I knew it..."

Xiao Wu's ears drooped, but her face was a little red: "I knew it would be my turn sooner or later..."

Qin Jian walked up and patted her head: "Then... shall we have a romance with the goal of breaking up?"

Everyone: "..."

"Hmph... you playboy... so annoying!"

While saying harsh words, her body slowly leaned into Qin Jian's embrace.

Xiao Wu murmured: "Brother, even knowing we have to part, I still want to be your... real girlfriend... for once."

The soul power level began to fluctuate up and down; it was absolutely rare in the Dalu, one of a kind.

After Qin Jian's soul power level reached Soul King, it was initially level 55, later dropped to level 53, and now, after these words, it reached level 57.

This god-like fluctuation in soul power level, I don't know if it's because Xiao Wu's emotions are too chaotic, or because she is also a Soul Beast, or a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast, causing some strange changes in the rules.

However, it is not a big problem; except for the last match, dealing with other teams as a Soul King is already enough to crush them.

Oh right, also except for that New Shenfeng, I don't know if they will appear later...

Not far away, Huo Wu watched this scene gloomily, silent and speechless.

Huo Wushuang looked at her expression and slowly clenched his fists.

Feng Xiaotian closed his sharp eyes...
