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

Thinking this, Luo Ranyu glanced at the Hellfire Demon beside her, which was blankly raising one of its rocky arms in a victory celebration gesture. Seeing this, Luo Ranyu thought to herself:

"Hey! Bro, what's all the excitement about? Who's actually competing? By the way, you can't just stand here forever. Let me think of a way to teleport you back~"

As Luo Ranyu was pondering, he suddenly noticed a round clock above his head. The second hand was ticking away. The next second, when the second hand pointed directly upwards, the Hellfire Demon's body suddenly froze, then began to crack and disintegrate. Large rocks fell down, but they turned into dust and disappeared in mid-air. In just two seconds, it mysteriously vanished, leaving Luo Ranyu somewhat reluctant to let it go.

"I see. The timer above his head represents how long it can exist. It's been five or six minutes since it was summoned! What a pity, who knows when it will be able to be summoned again! Sigh~"

At this moment, only Ma Rulong remained in the Sun and Moon Team, while Zheng Tian Academy had three other members who had not yet appeared, in addition to Luo Ranyu. Ma Rulong would have to fight all four members of Zheng Tian Academy by himself. If the opponents were from other academies, it would be fine, but this was Zheng Tian Academy! To defeat four of them in one go was extremely difficult!

By this stage of the competition, the audience had gained a certain understanding of the strength of Zhengtian Academy. Elder Ma of Riyue Academy, having thought things through, spoke briefly with Ma Rulong before proposing to forfeit the remaining individual matches.

Luo Ranyu wasn't surprised to see Riyue give up the individual competition. She pondered, "He conceded defeat? Hmm, the right choice. No matter how strong he is, if it's a one-on-four situation, there's no need to gamble on such a slim chance of winning."

As the referee announced the result, Ye Wuqing, the captain of Zhengtian Academy, breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but exclaim:

"Unbelievable! They defeated the Sun and Moon team just like that. Even though it was only one match, it's still a very impressive result!"

Yan'er, standing beside him, couldn't help but recall, "Looking back at the history of the Soul Battle Tournament over the past 30 years, to win by such a small margin against the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team is already a shock to the entire audience. But look over there, Jin Zhongyue and Xue Qianluo are acting as if it's all perfectly normal."

At this moment, Blood Wolf also wanted to say something: "Yes! The two of them are always calm and composed, with a maturity beyond their years." Flame said excitedly, "Really? So you think so too!"

Ye Wuqing looked at Xue Qianluo and Jin Zhongyue. Although they didn't cling to Luo Ranyu every day like Hua Xier, he knew that their attention was mostly on Luo Ranyu, but they rarely showed it.

As he watched, he became somewhat dazed and asked, "Flame, Blood Wolf, what ranking do you think we seven could achieve if it weren't for the other qualifiers?"

Upon hearing this, Yan'er and Blood Wolf fell into deep thought. Yan'er asked, "Aren't they here?"

Blood Wolf: "Perhaps we can make it into the top 16, after all, we are a strong team with three Soul Kings and four Soul Masters. But it's hard to say about the top 8."

Ye Wuqing raised his head, looked at the sky, and said calmly, "Before, I thought I was a genius, participating in the Soul Battle Tournament as a preliminary member at such a young age. But when I saw Luo Ranyu and the others facing various opponents with such composure and strength, I realized that I'm probably just so-so."

Back when we were fighting Shrek Academy, in the 2-2-3 battle, Luo Ranyu displayed extraordinary strength in the first match, while I, in the third match, faced a Soul Master of over level 30, a Great Soul Master of over level 20, and a Soul Grandmaster of over level 40, and was ultimately defeated due to underestimating my opponents and being careless! From that moment on, I knew that I was still not strong enough.

Indeed, we are not weak, but right now, I always feel that Luo Ranyu and the others have taken us to a height that does not belong to us.

Luo Jiuxiao, only a Soul Master, defeated two Soul Kings from the Sun Moon Empire. Luo Ranyu, on the other hand, is even more astonishingly talented. You might not know much about the Hongchen siblings, but they are unparalleled geniuses in the history of the Sun Moon Empire, and they were even pre-selected team members. They were actually defeated by Luo Ranyu alone! I wouldn't even dare say I could easily beat one of them!

Looking at Ye Wuqing, who seemed somewhat dejected, Yan'er felt a pang of sadness. In her mind, her captain had always been an omnipotent, unrestrained, and confident leader. She admired that confident captain, but now he appeared so forlorn because of some setbacks. Her heart ached, and she comforted him, saying:

"Captain, it's alright. No matter what, you're still our captain! Perhaps Xiao Ran and the others do possess extraordinary abilities, but they also need your guidance!"

Blood Wolf chimed in, trying to cheer him on, "Yeah, Captain! Why are you suddenly getting so sentimental? Haha! It's just that there have been so many genius Soul Masters on the continent in recent years. We're actually pretty strong too, you know!"

The atmosphere eased, and Ye Wuqing said, "Well, no matter what, we still have to play the next match. And if we want to take another point from the Sun and Moon team, we'll probably have to rely on Xiao Ranyu and the others."

With that, Blood Wolf said nonchalantly, "Hey~ it's all up to you to arrange things. Things have come to this point, basically, this competition is no longer my concern; it's all up to you guys!"

Yan'er: "Yeah, Captain, the rest of the matches have nothing to do with us four Soul Masters anymore. What are you sad about, Captain? We still need you to arrange the lineup and order. Hehe~ Just thinking about how we might actually beat the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Team tomorrow makes me so excited I can't sleep!"

Hearing this, the three of them felt relieved. Ye Wuqing continued, "Of course, I can't make the decision on this matter. We need to hear their opinions."

"Yeah, that's true~"

At this point, the score between Sun Moon Academy and Zheng Tian Academy is tied 1-1. The decisive battle will be held tomorrow morning, with the winner advancing to the finals to compete against Shrek Academy for the ultimate championship.

Late at night, Luo Ranyu, who was cultivating, suddenly woke up. Looking at the silent night and the sleeping Xi'er, Luo Ranyu felt a sense of quiet loneliness. Countless nights had passed like this, and he had become accustomed to cultivating and living alone.

Luo Ranyu lay on the bed, closing her eyes. Even if she couldn't sleep, lying down could alleviate her mental and physical fatigue. Images flashed through her mind; the scenes from the competition were still vivid in her memory.

Soon, Luo Ranyu's consciousness began to blur, and the figures in her mind kept changing, from Hua Xi'er to Xue Qianluo, then to Meng Hongchen, then to Xiao Hongchen, and finally to Ye Wuqing.

Suddenly, a beautiful female figure flashed into my mind. Her body was surrounded by colorful flowers, and the fragrant buds looked particularly alluring, as if she were wearing a dress made of colorful flowers.

Her exquisite makeup, long purple eyelashes, and the huge, hazy, colorful glass wings behind her made her look like an elf who had come out of the forest.
