Douluo Continent: The God of Thunder Descends, Martial Soul Lei Yi

Chapter 87 "Who's the unlucky one today?"

"What on earth is going on?! Why haven't the captains and vice-captains of the Tianshui team made a move?"

"What do you know? This is just the qualifiers. The real excitement is yet to come."

After the first round of qualifiers, a new round of competition began.

"I wonder which unlucky guy ran into us today."

In the rest area, Shuiyue stretched lazily out of sheer boredom.

With Lei Ming and Shui Bing'er as their pillars of strength, they only need to go on stage and unleash their martial souls and soul skills. If they can win, they can fight; if they can't, they can simply win without any pressure.

"It's us."

Huo Wushuang silently walked up and greeted him, saying somewhat dejectedly.

I don't know what happened, but the first seeded team that the Tianshui team encountered was them.

"How do you want to fight?"

Shuiyue'er's eyes lit up, and she asked excitedly.

Before the start of this elite competition, Shui Ningbing told them that if they encountered the Blazing Fire Academy, they should fight them hard.

The reason is that in the previous Elite Competition, Tianshui Academy was only ranked lower than Chihuo Academy.

This almost made the old man from Blazing Fire Academy burst out laughing.

It should be noted that, due to the elemental advantage, Tianshui Academy usually dominates Blazing Fire Academy unless there is a significant difference in soul power between them.

"We're discussing how to surrender in a way that will look better."

Huo Wushuang pointed to a few people whispering among themselves in his team's rest area, and looked helplessly at Lei Ming.

"Why don't you just reveal your martial spirit and use your sixth spirit skill to defeat us all at once? That way you won't lose face."

Being knocked off the stage by a 100,000-year-old soul skill is not shameful at all.

A 100,000-year soul ring is so precious, and a 100,000-year soul skill is also extremely rare. I'm afraid very few people could survive being attacked by a 100,000-year soul skill.

In the future, I can write on my resume: "I survived 100,000 years of soul skills."

That's actually quite a face-saving thing.

"What are you thinking! Our captain's soul skill should be saved for last. Using it so early won't shock the whole audience."

Shui Yue'er smiled slyly, as if she could already see the expressions on the faces of the audience.

"It's over."

Huo Wushuang sighed softly, shook his head, and returned to his team's rest area.

Due to the popularity of the Tianshui team and Lei Ming's mystery, the first battle between the Tianshui team and the Blazing Fire Academy was arranged on the main stage.

"Aren't you going to participate in the competition?"

The eight teams that participated in the first battle were already heading out. Feng Xiaotian looked at the Blazing Fire Academy members who were sitting motionless in their chairs and couldn't help but ask.

"What are you going to do, go get beaten up? I already told the old man we can't fight this battle."

Huo Wushuang leaned back in his chair and lazily raised his eyebrows as he spoke.

"You are the main stage."

Feng Xiaotian was speechless. Although he couldn't win, he couldn't just give up.

"What a joke! If Lei Ming makes a move, that's fine, but if he doesn't, we'll be defeated right away. Wouldn't that be even more laughable than forfeiting?"

Huo Wushuang snorted lightly, completely ignoring the old man's angry expression after he spoke to him earlier.

It's just one loss, not a continuous losing streak.

No matter how hard they try, the champion will always be one step ahead of them, so forfeiting would save them some face.

"I don't want to abstain; it would be too embarrassing."

Huo Wu looked up sullenly. She wanted to go on stage and fight; it was truly shameful for her to flee without a fight.

Even if you can't win, it's still better than sitting in the rest area and being insulted.

"Then you guys think about it some more, I'm going now."

The Kamikaze team was already calling him, and Feng Xiaotian quickly said something before leaving.

"Little sister, you'll find out in a few days. Do you really think those guys from Thunder Academy and the other academies would fight Lei Ming?"

Huo Wushuang stretched and said, completely unconcerned.

Their Blazing Fire Academy was just unlucky; they were the first to run into Lei Ming.

He didn't believe Feng Xiaotian would grit his teeth and go on stage if it were Shenfeng Academy.

Huo Wu blinked blankly, then nodded thoughtfully.

On the main stage.

The other teams have already taken to the battle stage, with only the Tianshui Team and the Chihuo Team yet to appear.

"Congratulations to Dean Shui on successfully breaking through to the Title Douluo level."

In the VIP section, Ning Fengzhi smiled and spoke to Shui Ningbing.

"It was just luck."

Shui Ningbing idly fiddled with the teacup in her hand, her gaze drifting unintentionally toward the rest area, a hint of doubt in her mind.

It's unclear what tricks Lei Ming and his group are up to.

Finally, as everyone in the audience eagerly awaited, a young girl walked slowly out of the rest area and stood on the main stage with light steps.

The referee glanced at the documents that had just been handed to him, his lips twitched, and he sighed inwardly.

"In the first match of the second round of the preliminary competition, Blazing Fire Academy forfeited, and Skywater Academy won."

As the referee announced the decision, Shuiyue'er smiled and greeted the crowd around her before walking briskly off the stage again.

Despite her calm demeanor, she was actually praying inwardly the whole time.

"Hurry up, you dead leg! Hurry up, you dead leg!! There are so many people!! So many people!!!"

The other arenas had already started their matches, while only the spectators and VIPs on the main stage exchanged glances.

"What?! What happened to Blazing Fire Academy having a chance to win the championship? Why did they surrender as soon as they met the Skywater Team?"

"Exactly, exactly. I'm still waiting for Lei Ming and Shui Bing'er to show their power. We don't even know what skill Shui Bing'er's strangely colored soul ring is."

"A cover-up! A cover-up!"

"A cover-up!"

Upon hearing this result, Shui Ningbing, who was in the VIP section, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The silvery laughter echoed in the ears of several people nearby, especially the Dean of Blazing Fire Academy, whose face had turned ashen.

He didn't expect Huo Wushuang to actually forfeit, and he was so angry that he stood up and walked towards the rest area.

The way he was blowing his beard and glaring at people showed that he was in a very good mood.

"this"

Ning Fengzhi looked helplessly at the erupting crowd around him, rubbed his forehead, and sighed.

They thought they would finally see Lei Ming's true strength, but unexpectedly, Blazing Fire Academy didn't dare to accept the challenge.

"Ahem. This match has been vetted by the royal family and there is absolutely no foul play involved. Although Blazing Academy has surrendered, there are still other academies. Please wait patiently."

Finally, Xue Qinghe, the crown prince, stepped forward. The excited crowd in the audience stopped shouting the moment he spoke and waited quietly for his reply.

"Since the Crown Prince has come forward to explain, then I will let it go."

"What's the point of explaining? It can't be that Blazing Fire Academy is afraid of Skywater Academy, can it? But they can't be too scared to fight either, can they? A bunch of cowards!"
