Soul Land: Raiden Shogun Is My Martial Soul

Chapter 248: Please, Help Me!

Dai Weisi and his team stepped onto the stage, carrying Dai Mubai's desperate hopes!

As soon as the match began, Hu Liena immediately targeted Zhu Zhuyun. As a Spirit King specializing in mental attacks, her spiritual power far exceeded that of an ordinary Soul Ancestor.

By the time Dai Weisi realized this, it was already too late!

Zhu Zhuyun was the first to be eliminated!

Yet, the one who found this hardest to accept wasn't Dai Weisi—it was Dai Mubai!

His face turned ashen, utterly pale!

Without Zhu Zhuyun, the Nether White Tiger martial soul fusion technique was useless. No matter how strong his elder brother, Dai Weisi, was, he was still just a Rank 49 Soul Ancestor!

How could he possibly defeat three Spirit Kings?!

"Just like that… we lost?!"

Dai Weisi had only lost a match.

But Dai Mubai… he had lost his very life!

"Damn it, Zhu Zhuyun, how could you be so careless?!"

"You knew they had a control-type Spirit King, and a mental-type one at that! Why did you rush in so recklessly?!"

Tears streamed down Dai Mubai's face, leaving Qin Ming utterly baffled.

What was going on?

Why was Dai Mubai acting like this?

Zhu Zhuyun getting knocked out had him crying like a child?

Could Zhu Zhuyun be his sister?

But one's surname was Zhu, and the other was Dai…

Wait. Dai?

Dai Weisi… Dai Mubai?!

Qin Ming finally noticed the crucial detail.

He wasn't particularly familiar with Star Luo Empire's affairs, but he could vaguely guess that Dai Mubai had a deep connection with Dai Weisi.

Thinking back to what Dai Mubai had said earlier about wanting to step onto the stage when facing Star Luo Royal Academy…

That only reinforced the idea that their relationship was far from ordinary.

Now that he looked closely, Dai Mubai and Dai Weisi did share a striking resemblance—at least seven parts alike! Even their martial souls were the same!

Qin Ming: "…"

If he still couldn't figure it out, he wasn't fit to be the leader of the Royal Battle First Team.

But the implications made his head hurt!

A prince of the Star Luo Empire… studying at Heaven Dou Royal Academy?

And planning to personally crush Star Luo Royal Academy?

Now that was next-level rebellion!

"Mubai, so what if Star Luo Royal Academy lost? It's no big deal. When your turn comes, just help them take revenge."

Qin Ming patted Dai Mubai's shoulder, trying to console him.

But Dai Mubai only cried harder!

Was this a matter of revenge?

"Teacher Qin, you just don't understand!"

"Then tell me so I can understand."

"Sigh, it's too late to say anything now!"

Dai Mubai already knew the final outcome. His fate was sealed, and there was no hope of changing it.

Feeling utterly dejected, he walked toward the exit of the battle arena.

His fate was set in stone. There was no escaping it.

"Ridiculous!"

Qin Ming shook his head and stopped paying attention to Dai Mubai.

This generation's Golden Generation was truly terrifying. If not for Kong and Dugu Yan joining them, the Royal Battle First Team would likely suffer a crushing defeat against them.

This was already the third round of matches. Two teams had gotten a bye, and two teams had surrendered outright. In the end, there were only two actual matches that day.

And Star Luo Royal Academy's unexpected loss was incredibly swift!

The match didn't even take up much time. The day's battles concluded quickly.

Now, only six teams remained—Royal Battle First Team, Royal Battle Second Team, Spirit Hall Academy, Thunderclap Academy, Godwind Academy, and the Star Luo Empire's top-ranked team.

At this stage of the tournament, the Star Luo Empire's side could no longer laugh!

They had just realized that Heaven Dou Empire still had four teams left—while they were down to just one!

And it wasn't even their strongest seeded team!

To think that Heaven Dou Empire had suffered an attack by the fallen ones before the tournament even began…

Their losses had been devastating.

Yet, the disparity between the teams was glaring—those who were strong were exceptionally strong, while the weak were incredibly weak!

This was the current state of Heaven Dou Empire's participating teams.

During the drawing process, everyone exchanged glances. Good grief, the finals were approaching, yet the familiar faces remained the same. Meanwhile, the Star Luo Empire's teams seemed to be nothing more than background characters.

"You all go ahead, you draw first!"

Qin Ming smiled, humbly stepping aside.

These were all senior figures—letting them go first was no big deal!

"Damn it, this kid is way too arrogant!"

"If I were him, I'd be even more arrogant!"

Everyone thought to themselves.

"In that case, I won't hold back!"

"Godwind Academy versus Spirit Hall Academy!"

Upon hearing this result, the principal of Godwind Academy gave a bitter smile. They had a great chance of making it into the top three, but it was all for nothing now.

Among the five remaining teams, only the Royal Battle First Team and the Spirit Hall Team were ones they had no chance of beating. Against the other three teams, their chances of winning were quite high.

"Many thanks to the Godwind Academy's principal for eliminating a strong opponent!"

"Thunderclap Academy versus Heaven Dou Royal Academy…"

The Thunderclap Team's leader's eye twitched before he could even react.

"…Second Team!"

"Whew…"

He finally let out a sigh of relief. Luckily, it was the second team. If it had been the first team, they wouldn't have even needed to bother fighting!

With only two teams left, there was no need to draw anymore—it was already decided.

"Heaven Dou Royal Academy First Team versus Purple Star Academy!"

Purple Star Academy was the top-ranked team in the Star Luo Empire's preliminary and ranking matches.

The leader of Purple Star Academy glanced at Qin Ming, then at the representatives of Thunderclap and Godwind Academies. He felt a little confused.

Was the Royal Battle First Team really that powerful?

Hmph, his Purple Star Team refused to believe it!

After the drawing ended, the spectators in the battle arena began leaving. Tomorrow would be the last day they could watch the matches!

The top three battles would no longer be open to ordinary spectators.

The competition would be moved to the area outside the Supreme Pontiff's Palace.

Upon receiving this news, the Royal Battle First Team members couldn't sleep at all!

They were far too excited!

The only two teams that hadn't seen their true strength had been drawn against them!

Well, it wasn't exactly a draw—there were simply no other teams left!

"Captain, look at us! We're strong, sturdy, and not particularly handsome—there's no way we'll steal your spotlight. Just let us go up there!"

This was not easy, not easy at all!

Shi Mo and Shi Mo were nearly in tears. This tournament had given them no experience whatsoever!

Even these normally composed individuals had resorted to such shameless words!

"Captain, you know me—I, Yu Feng, have no special skills. Once I step onto the stage, I'll just fly around and set the mood…"

"Captain, I, Ma Hongjun, have been training for years just for this moment to shine! Please, I'm begging you, please…"

Ma Hongjun tugged at Kong's sleeve, looking utterly pitiful.

Had he known things would turn out like this, he might as well have joined the second team.

There had been no opportunity to step onto the stage at all!

Now, just before the finals, there was finally a chance. How could he not seize it?

"Hiss…"

Kong took a sharp breath and quickly pulled his sleeve out of Ma Hongjun's grip…
