"Nangong, my young friend, Rongrong has been spoiled by her family since she was a child, and her temperament is a bit naughty. I hope she hasn't caused any trouble at the academy?"
Nangong Lingyun had just walked out of the passage and hadn't had time to sit down when Ning Fengzhi took the initiative to stand up to greet him, the warmth of the smile on his face even more pronounced than yesterday.
Xue Qinghe and Chen Xin were not far behind, standing up immediately.
This scene caused a huge shock in the hearts of the others present.
Although they didn't know why a young man who was not yet thirteen years old would be greeted so warmly by the Sect Master of the Upper Three Sects,
even the Kaiyuan School Master wouldn't be so eager, would he?
But since Ning Fengzhi had stood up, it would be a bit too ignorant to continue sitting.
Almost immediately, Prince Xue Xing and the three committee members also stood up without hesitation,
their faces full of bright smiles, speaking as familiarly as if they had been old friends for a long time.
Investigating the reason could wait for later; they absolutely couldn't fall behind now.
Nangong Lingyun casually exchanged a few polite words, behaving neither subserviently nor arrogantly, neither too flattered nor too aloof and distant.
The Kaiyuan Battle Team had just arrived at the Battle Soul Arena, so naturally, they wouldn't go on stage immediately.
In the preparation room behind the audience seats, Mo Tiancheng personally brought two sets of information to the two battle teams.
There was nothing special inside; besides the spirit power, Spirit, age, name, and other registration information, there were only the Battle Soul Arena statistics.
This was the usual practice of the main Spirit Fight Stage.
The Heaven Dou Royal Academy side didn't show any surprise.
They had obtained the relevant information about the Kaiyuan Battle Team as early as noon, and it was much more detailed than this.
But when Jing Ling saw the opponent's level in the report, he was instantly dumbfounded.
Because the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Battle Team didn't have a single Spirit Ancestor-level opponent; they were all Spirit Elders.
According to the rules, unless the opponent actively applies for a higher-level challenge, the members with the highest spirit power on both sides of the team battle must have the same Spirit Master title.
Spirit Ancestors must face Spirit Ancestors, and Spirit Elders can only face Spirit Elders at most.
This meant that he and Huo Wu, as the absolute main force, couldn't participate, and Kaiyuan Academy would have to fight seven with five,
with four of them only at the Spirit Grandmaster level, and Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong hadn't even trained, so it was actually equivalent to fighting seven alone.
The only one, named Jerry, was actually a support system, only level thirty-two.
Facing opponents with a minimum level of thirty-five, the chances of winning were not just slim; they were almost impossible.
Jing Ling didn't know that Nangong Lingyun had also overlooked this matter.
Remembering Laoda's question before, asking if he was under pressure? He was instantly numb all over.
If he said he was under a lot of pressure now, so much that it was boundless, would it be too late?
The atmosphere in the preparation room suddenly became heavy, and Huo Wu frowned tightly, saying:
"No matter what, we must not avoid the battle.
I'm afraid someone deliberately did this, just waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves.
That Yu Tianheng is already level thirty-nine; we can always challenge again after he breaks through to Spirit Ancestor and win back."
Of course, Jing Ling knew that they couldn't avoid the battle, especially after they had already agreed.
His Laoda was sitting on top of the Spirit Fight Stage, under the spotlight. Was he supposed to let him embarrass himself in public?
But as the captain, he couldn't ask a support system to lead four Spirit Grandmasters to challenge an already famous and powerful battle team.
Anyone could figure out that the team Heaven Dou Empire put together to participate in the Soul Master Grand Competition would definitely not be weak.
At this time, Jerry suddenly spoke,
"Captain, just let me go. Even if I die, I must die on the stage."
"We too."
Si Ling and Si Yun, the bright sisters, also stood up at the same time, their faces resolute.
Among the three, Jerry was only able to awaken his spirit power because of Nangong Lingyun. The Emperor Blood Spirit Ring, super-limit spirit ring, Cultivation Method, and so on, all came from this brother.
Si Ling and Si Yun were rescued from the hands of human traffickers by Yuan Tiangang.
If it weren't for Kaiyuan Academy, who knows what kind of cruel fate they would be suffering now.
Others could back down, but they couldn't.
"I have no objections."
"Me too."
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong also stood up.
They absolutely couldn't be cowards at this time; otherwise, they would have no face to continue staying in the battle team in the future.
As everyone was discussing, a loud bang suddenly erupted in the corner,
Xiao Wu smashed through the table in front of her with a punch, suppressing her anger and rushing to the maid at the door, roaring:
"Tell that Supervisor Mo that I want to challenge the team leader Teacher of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Battle Team, and tell him to arrange it for me as soon as possible.
No, not as soon as possible, just set it for the next team battle, and it must be on the main Spirit Fight Stage."
The air fell silent once again.
Except for Zhu Zhuqing, the rest of the people present were all dumbfounded.
Jing Ling quickly advised:
"Xiao Wu, calm down. The opponent is a Spirit Emperor."
"So what if he's a Spirit Saint?"
"It's not a question of what if, but that's the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
The leader Teacher responsible for guiding and suppressing spirits like Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon and Azure Serpent can't be simple, can they?
Why don't we wait until today is over and ask Laoda before making a decision? At least understand the detailed information, right?"
The rabbit's head shook directly like a rattle,
"No, I want to beat him up now."
Jing Ling's head instantly grew as big as a bucket,
On this side, Xiao Wu hadn't been persuaded yet, and on the other side, Huo Wu popped up again,
"By the way, ask if there are any Spirit King Teachers from Heaven Dou Royal Academy present today. If there are, arrange one for me too.
To be honest, I've been winning all the time in Spirit Ancestor battles, and I feel like it's not interesting anymore."
Jing Ling: "…"
Forget it, let's just Destruction.
Jing Ling closed his eyes, mourned silently for three seconds, and then ran out to catch up with the maid, saying:
"Find me a suitable Spirit King too, from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
Well, since things have come to this, he can't fall behind.
…
At the top of the Spirit Fight Stage, Nangong Lingyun was casually exchanging pleasantries with Ning Fengzhi.
This Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Sect Master truly deserves to be a player at the peak of interpersonal relationships. Not a single word he said fell to the ground, including those that were just simple responses.
Xue Qinghe and the others couldn't even get a word in for a long time.
Just then, a loud voice suddenly spread throughout the entire Battle Soul Arena, including the other Spirit Fight Stages.
"Good evening, esteemed audience members,
Due to some unforeseen circumstances, the order of the main Spirit Fight Stage matches has changed. The specific order is as follows.
Next match: Kaiyuan Academy Battle Team versus Heaven Dou Royal Academy Battle Team.
Second match: Kaiyuan Battle Team member Nangong Lewu, Spirit Ancestor, challenges Qin Ming, Spirit Emperor, the leader Teacher of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
