Chapter 308

After confirming the destinations of Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong, the two strongest combatants, the allocation of the remaining people became much more casual.

After discussion among those present, the members of the two competing teams were quickly fixed.

The Shilake Academy team's participants are Huo Yutong, Jiang Nannan, He Caitou, Wang Dong, Di Yun'er, Lan Luoluo, Lan Susu, Wu Feng, Ning Tian, and Xie Huan'yue.

The Tang Sect team's participants are Tang Wulin, Bei Bei, Xu San Shi, Zhou Sichen, Xiao Xiao, Cao Jinxuan, and the temporarily joined Nan Qiuqiu.

It can be seen that, since not everyone present joined the Tang Sect, the Tang Sect team's number is overwhelmingly fewer than that of the Shilake team.

However, no one thought the Tang Sect team would be much weaker, after all Bei Bei and Xu San Shi, two great generals, are in the Tang Sect team; with the combat power of these two Soul Emperors, even if Tang Wulin does not participate, the vast majority of matches could still be swept through.

Cai Mei'er seeing the members allocated to the two teams, as if she had expected it all along, was not at all surprised, and calmly said: "Alright, since the allocation is done, let's then have a sparring match to see which team is stronger. Tang Wulin, Huo Yutong, you two will each serve as captain of the two teams; you are not allowed to participate. Now lead your teams to the Dou Hun Qu."

"Yes."

Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong answered in unison.

Most people had no objection to Cai Mei'er's arrangement.

Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong's strength is truly too great; either one of them could defeat the other, and the remaining strength could take down all the rest in one-on-one fights, which would be meaningless; it would be better to let the others spar instead.

But after all, someone still failed to see the situation clearly.

Wu Feng said indignantly: "Dean Cai, they're not participating; what gives them the right to be our team captains?"

She had been at odds with Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong since her time in the Outer Courtyard; seeing the two now riding above her head, she naturally was completely unwilling.

Cai Mei'er did not answer, but instead looked toward Huo Yutong.

"Huo Yutong, tell her what gives you the right."

"Okay."

Huo Yutong lightly nodded, then instantly appeared before Wu Feng.

Wu Feng was startled by her movement, his whole body ignited with fire light, preparing to release his martial soul.

However, Huo Yutong merely flashed a blue light in her eyes, and a terrifying cold burst from her body; five black rings rose from around her, forcibly suppressing the martial soul that Wu Feng was preparing to release, pushing it back.

Remarkably, the chill emanating from Huo Yutong's body targeted only Wu Feng; aside from her, no one else felt any cold.

Having already released her Ice Snow Girl martial soul, Huo Yutong coldly said:

"You ask me what gives me the right; I'll tell you the answer: because I have strength. If you can defeat me, you could take this captain position, but since you can't even properly release your martial soul in front of me, don't spout nonsense."

After speaking, she retracted her martial soul and soul rings, then stepped back to her original position.

The pressure on her suddenly eased; Wu Feng, unable to retract his force, stumbled back two steps and sat down on the ground.

At this moment, her whole body was covered with a layer of white frost, obviously having been frozen considerably by Huo Yutong's power.

She extended a trembling finger, pointing at Huo Yutong, but could not utter a word.

After all, she had only entered the inner courtyard at the beginning of this year, had heard little of Huo Yutong's exploits, and had not personally witnessed her battle with Wu Ming last year; if she had seen that battle, she would not have the slightest doubt about Huo Yutong's strength.

If any other inner courtyard disciples were present here to see Wu Feng dare to speak to Huo Yutong like this, they would surely be shocked speechless.

Wu Feng only knew the Huo Yutong from the Outer Courtyard, who had a good temperament; she had no concept of the famed Ice Snow Goddess of the inner courtyard.

Likewise, some of her teammates, such as Xie Huan'yue and Ning Tian, originally had doubts about Huo Yutong's strength, thinking it somewhat unfair to directly appoint her as captain; now they dare not say a word. Wu Feng is not particularly strong in their team, but to suppress her so easily is not simple; at least Xie Huan'yue feels he has no hope at all.

They originally thought that after so many years, the gap between the two sides might have narrowed somewhat, but instead it has only widened.

Unlike the Shilake team, which has many problems, the Tang Sect side is much more harmonious.

After all, they are all fellow disciples, intimately familiar with each other, and have no doubts about Tang Wulin's strength.

Seeing the voices of opposition in the room disappear, Cai Mei'er nodded satisfiedly and said:

"Alright, let's go."

Speaking, she rose first and walked out of the room.

Tang Wulin followed closely behind, and then everyone successively left Cai Mei'er's office, heading toward the Dou Hun Qu.

Soon they reached their destination; Cai Mei'er led them to stand at the edge of the field and spoke seriously:

"I said beforehand that this Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is different from usual; the strength of the participating teams is absolutely far greater than last edition's. Since your two teams are temporarily assembled, there may be gaps in coordination, so I hope you will perform well later and get to know each other."

Cai Mei'er certainly does not think these two teams will lose; rather, with Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong, these two monsters, it would be hard for them to lose. At worst, these two can still cover for the others.

But this tournament is also a good training opportunity for the remaining members; if possible, Cai Mei'er hopes they will gain something from this tournament, rather than just coasting to victory under the guidance of Mu En's two disciples.

Seeing everyone nod in agreement, Cai Mei'er looked toward Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong standing at the front of the teams.

"Next, we'll have a one-on-one duel; you two arrange the participants."

The two nodded together, then turned to look at the team members.

Tang Wulin hesitated little, quickly deciding: "Third senior brother, you go first."

Aside from him in this team, the strongest are Bei Bei and Xu San Shi.

Bei Bei will be kept for the final showdown, so Xu San Shi will fire the opening shot.

Huo Yutong, however, is somewhat troubled.

In her team, there are truly few who can match Xu San Shi.

Unlike Tang Wulin, who has only recently returned to the Tang Sect, Huo Yutong is very clear about just how strong her third senior brother, a Soul Emperor, is.

Those who could possibly defeat him are probably only Di Yun'er and He Caitou.

According to Huo Yutong's knowledge, Wang Dong has just reached rank sixty these past two days and is about to return home to obtain his soul ring; if this sparring were held a bit later, letting her take the field would also be a good choice.

Unfortunately, that can only be a thought; although sending Jiang Nannan would likely win without a fight, that would be too despicable—sprinkling salt on Xu San Shi's wound is something Huo Yutong truly could not do.

After thinking it over repeatedly, she decided:

"Second senior brother, you go."

"We'll use He Caitou's cannon fire to test Xu San Shi's defense."
