Battle Through the Heavens II: Three Phases of Peerless Power, One Soul and Four Bodies

Although Luo Ranyu knew that Xingluo Royal Academy was very strong, she was not completely outmatched. Although they were now missing three Soul Kings, the remaining team members were by no means ordinary.

Thinking this, Ran Yu said, "So what if they're all Soul Kings? We still beat the Battle Spirit Royal Academy in the last match, and in the individual battle, we even defeated opponents of a higher level. I don't think the Star Luo Royal Academy is that strong!"

Thinking this, a hint of arrogance flashed in Luo Ranyu's eyes, and she replied firmly, "So what if they're all Soul Kings? Didn't we still beat the Battle Spirit Royal Academy in the last match? In individual battles, we've repeatedly defeated opponents of higher levels. I don't think the Star Luo Royal Academy is that strong!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongchen suddenly raised his head and gave Luo Ranyu a deep look. In that gaze, full of arrogance and confidence, he actually saw his own reflection in her.

If Luo Ranyu had always been polite and submissive, he would have looked down on her; but this undisguised sharpness earned him more respect.

Meng Hongchen and Hua Xier, who were standing to the side, both subconsciously looked at their "brother" beside them.

Meng Hongchen thought to herself: "My brother is really something, he always bickers with Luo Ranyu every time they meet. But thankfully, judging from his expression, he doesn't seem to dislike him that much."

The air suddenly fell silent. Just as Meng Hongchen was about to say something, Luo Ranyu and Xiao Hongchen's eyes met in the air. They smiled at each other, a hint of fighting spirit and tacit understanding flashing in their eyes.

Xiao Hongchen's lips curled into a playful smile, his tone still carrying a hint of provocation, but now tinged with anticipation: "Hmph~ I'm quite eager to see the true strength of your Zheng Tian Academy's preliminary team members!"

Luo Ranyu chuckled softly, a hint of arrogance flashing in her eyes: "Hmph~ I'd also like to know just how far the most famous Soul Master Academy on the entire continent can apply Soul Tools!"

Although their words were tinged with hostility, Meng Hongchen sensed a subtle shift in their emotions.

In the afternoon, the team members gathered in the conference room of Zhengtian Academy to discuss the upcoming match against Xingluo Royal Academy.

Twelve team members sat on either side of the long conference table. However, the team leaders, Jin Zhongyue and Luo Jiuxiao, were not present. During the meal, Hua Xier had quietly told Luo Ranyu that they had something very important to do.

All eyes were on their mentor, Li Cheng.

Li Cheng's expression was solemn. He paused for a moment before speaking:

"Alright, now let me introduce the detailed information about the Star Luo Royal Academy. The Star Luo Royal Academy team is a team with all members being Soul Kings, making them extremely powerful. Their captain is named Huang Heyun, whose martial soul is the Dark Demon Tiger, a power-attack type with astonishing explosive power; the vice-captain is Dugu Shangshan, whose martial soul is the Netherworld Mad Lion, also a power-attack type, with both offensive and defensive capabilities."

He paused, then added, "These two are the core combat force of the Star Luo team. In addition, they have two main control Soul Kings, namely Yi Chen of the fire control type and Wang Shiying of the wind control type. These two usually pair up with Demon Tiger and Mad Lion, one controlling and the other attacking, their cooperation is extremely tacit. In addition, they also have one Soul King each of the agility attack type, defense type and support type, the team configuration is perfect, the biggest feature is balance, there are almost no weaknesses."

After he finished speaking, the meeting room fell silent. The team members all knew how difficult it was to deal with such an opponent.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Li Cheng's tone carried a hint of helplessness:

"The gap in strength between us and them is obvious to you without me having to explain it. We were lucky to defeat the Royal Academy of Fighting Spirits in the last match."

He then said with a hint of regret, "We'll just do our best in this match. Now, I'll arrange the lineup. Ye Wuqing, Yu Mengdi, Tang Xiaolei, and... Xue Qianluo, all four of you are Soul Kings, our core fighting force. Once you're on the field, you absolutely cannot let your momentum be inferior to the opponent's!"

"Understood!" Ye Wuqing, Yu Mengdi, and Tang Xiaolei responded in unison.

Xue Qianluo's beautiful eyes flickered, but she didn't say anything more, only nodded slightly, her clear, cool voice ringing out: "Mm!"

Li Cheng then looked at the main team members and said, "Yan'er, you go in too. Try to hold them back as much as possible, conserve your strength, and then find an opportunity to take one down. Understand?"

Yan'er's beautiful eyes widened slightly in surprise, then she replied, "Understood!"

Li Cheng looked towards the preliminaries. Since Jin Zhongyue and Luo Jiuxiao were not present, Luo Ranyu was sitting at the front.

"Luo Ranyu, Hua Xier, you two will also participate in this team battle to provide support for your teammates. Luo Ranyu, remember not to engage in reckless combat, understand?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Ranyu replied, "Yes, teacher, I understand."

"Your home turf is the next Soul Fighting Tournament, and I don't want either of you to get seriously injured," Li Cheng said, his tone softening slightly. "But I think that letting you compete might bring unexpected changes and could potentially alter the course of the battle."

"Don't worry, teacher!" Hua Xi'er immediately grabbed Luo Ranyu's arm and answered cheerfully, "Xi'er will definitely protect Brother Ranyu!"

"Well......"

Luo Ranyu was momentarily speechless; the words she wanted to say stuck in her throat. Although her words were somewhat absurd, the lively and cheerful Hua Xi'er enlivened the atmosphere, and everyone looked at her with smiles. Even the usually aloof Xue Qianluo couldn't help but smile, and Ye Wuqing also started teasing her.

"Ranyu, remember this: girls often like to say the opposite of what they mean, but only about certain things~"

Upon hearing this, Yan'er complained, "Hey, Captain, what are you saying? Don't set a bad example for the children!"

Luo Ranyu felt a little embarrassed and didn't know how to respond for a moment, but she was briefly touched by Hua Xier's sincere words.

He knew that Hua Xi'er was never joking when she told him. Every time he was in danger, this seemingly fragile little girl would always rush to his aid without hesitation.

He couldn't help but recall the scene from before: he had been trapped in front of two ancient, dark gold dinosaurs. Although he was confident he could escape on his own, Hua Xi'er had unhesitatingly shielded him with her small body.

Even the ferocious Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was stunned for a moment, sensing a unique aura emanating from her that was neither human nor non-human, nor even a soul beast.

Her eyes shone with unwavering conviction, and her small body stood like a towering mountain, firmly blocking him from the soul beast.

At that moment, Luo Ranyu had no choice but to pick her up, activate the soul skill she had just acquired, unfold a pair of blazing wings, and fly away with her into the distance.

He secretly thought to himself: Seriously, I'm not stupid! If I can't beat them, can't I just run away?

As her thoughts returned, Luo Ranyu looked at Hua Xier, who was standing beside her with a serious expression, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

The next day, the stands were still packed with people. As planned, Ye Wuqing, Luo Ranyu, and others had already taken to the stage.

In terms of formation, Zheng Tian Academy positioned Ye Wuqing and Tang Xiaolei, who are long-range offensive specialists, in the middle, with Yu Mengdi and Xue Qianluo, who are close-combat offensive specialists, on both sides. Yan'er was also next to Ye Wuqing, while Luo Ranyu and Hua Xi'er, the two Soul Masters, were positioned a little further back.

As soon as she stood still, Luo Ranyu's gaze was drawn to a figure in the opposing team.

She was an absolutely stunning woman, dressed in a pale yellow beaded shimmering dress. The hem of the dress swayed gently in the wind, and the beads on it reflected a delicate shimmer. She looked elegant and noble, yet also exuded a heroic spirit, without a trace of fragility.

Luo Ranyu recognized her; she was Princess Jiujiu of the Star Luo Royal Academy, the younger sister of the Star Luo King, and was extremely popular.

In the stands, some spectators recognized her and couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! It's Princess Jiu Jiu! I never expected to see Her Highness today! Your Highness is so beautiful!"

At the same time, many viewers also noticed the new faces in the Zhengtian Academy team.

Hua Xi'er has striking pink hair and wears a light pink dress with butterfly decorations. She exudes a sweet aura and her delicate and lovely appearance instantly amazes the young men and women both inside and outside the arena!
