Douluo: Law of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 1006 Don't get close to Zhou Qing and the others—

Inside the crater, where wisps of heat emanated and the surrounding air distorted, Huo Wu, utterly exhausted, collapsed to the ground in despair.

And what about the seven people from Elephant Armor Academy?
He suffered extensive burns all over his body, exhausted his soul power, and collapsed in the pit, losing his ability to fight.

"Fire Dance from Blazing Academy is really amazing!"

"What a mess!"

"Is this an attempt to kill someone?"

"However, in terms of scale, it can't compare to the last one. Back then, the Notting team fought against the sect leader of the Elephant Armor Sect, and the entire arena collapsed!"

"Speaking of which, the arena of the Heaven Dou Great Soul Battle is really not very sturdy, is it?"

"..."

The audience was talking a lot.

In the VIP section, Hu Yanzhen's expression darkened slightly, but he had no intention of causing trouble for Blazing Fire Academy.

If Huo Wu goes all out in the very first match, she must have a really bad temper!
Moreover, after such an incident, the dean of Blazing Fire Academy will surely apologize to me privately afterwards!
It's just that they're a bit unlucky. In the previous Mainland Elite Tournament qualifiers, it was Elephant Armor Academy that was unlucky, and in this year's Mainland Elite Tournament qualifiers, it's still Elephant Armor Academy that's unlucky.

This is unique!
Off the court.

Huo Wushuang and his teammates jumped onto the field, carried Huo Wu off, and immediately asked their academy's healing department teacher to help treat her.

"It won't recover in a short time."

The healing teacher sighed, "The injuries on the surface of her body are easy to treat, but the energy she experienced earlier was too great, which damaged the circuitry that allows her to circulate her soul power. This is not something a healing-type soul master can repair; she needs to rest and let her body heal itself."

After waking up and learning about her injuries, Huo Wu stubbornly circulated her soul power, only to find that her abdomen felt like it was being struggled against, with sharp pains. She let out a muffled "groan" and frowned, "Teacher Yang, does this mean I can't participate in the upcoming matches?"

"The pain will disappear within a day, but it will take at least half a month to fully recover."

The teacher said seriously, "Don't be willful. Participate again in half a month. There are substitutes, and with your brother, we can still fight for a spot in the next round."

Huo Wu was extremely unwilling.

Huo Wushuang also advised, "Sister, don't worry, it's only half a month. The preliminary rounds will last at least a month. Once you've recovered from your injury, you can definitely continue participating."

"Vice Captain, take good care of yourself and get some rest."

The other team members also offered words of comfort.

"We're fine."

"The Elephant Armor Academy team is in an even worse situation. Given their injuries, it's estimated that they won't be able to perform at their current level for the next two weeks. They'll likely lose more than they win. If they can't catch up in points in the second half of the month, they might not even qualify for the next round!"

At this moment, the dean of Blazing Fire Academy came over and heard some team members discussing that Elephant Armor Academy would be in trouble later. His face darkened, but he did not scold them. Instead, he asked Fire Dance to go aside and talk to her.

"Dad, I promise I won't act impulsively next time..."

"And next time?"

Dean Blazing Fire's eyelids twitched. "Making such a big fuss in the very first match has led many high-ranking members of various factions to believe that Blazing Fire Academy is about to make a big move, or even to emulate the Notting Team from the previous year!"

Huo Wu lowered her head and muttered, "It's not impossible." "What did you say? Speak louder! Your father is hard of hearing, he can't hear you!" Dean Chi Huo roared.

"Dad, can we go back inside to talk? The people nearby are watching... Otherwise, please keep your voice down." Huo Wu was a little anxious as the gazes were drawn by Dean Chi Huo's voice, but she didn't dare to lash out at her father.

"You actually know how shameful you are?"

Dean Chi Huo lowered his voice and sneered, "Then why did you make such a commotion just now? Your old man doesn't have the ability of Chi Hui Zhou Qing, and he can't beat Hu Yanzhen!"

Huo Wu blushed and was momentarily speechless, unsure how to respond.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Dean Chi Huo sighed and said, "It's normal for soul masters like us who possess fire-attribute martial souls to be more irritable, but you're nineteen years old now, no longer a child. Tell me, what exactly happened? I know you're strong, but using the Fusion Ring in the first match... it's like you're trying to prove something?"

"Dad, are you a tapeworm in my stomach?"

Huo Wu couldn't believe it.

"Hmph! Your old man has eaten more salt than you've eaten rice," Dean Chi Huo said. "Tell me about it."

"I found Zhou Qing and the others in the regular audience seats earlier..."

After learning that Huo Wu had been defeated by Xiao Wu in one move, Dean Chi Huo was not surprised, but simply advised, "Don't get too close to them."

"why?"

Huo Wu was puzzled. In the past, when she communicated with genius soul masters like Feng Xiaotian, her father was quite happy, wasn't he? Why couldn't she do the same with Zhou Qing and the others?

"Emperor Xueye dislikes the Crimson Society, and Blazing Fire Academy is located in Tiandou City." Dean Blazing Fire said earnestly, "Let me put it this way, any noble who truly understands the Crimson Society's ideology will regard them as enemies."

“But we’re not nobles!” Huo Wu retorted.

"But you have connections with nobles! Do you think it's easy to open a high-level academy? Without status, without background, and without connections with nobles, even a Soul Saint can't open an academy. Even if you do open one, it will quickly go bankrupt!" Dean Blazing Fire repeatedly warned, "Remember! Don't get too close to them! Our Blazing Fire Academy is different from other major powers. We don't have such great ambitions, nor do we want to get anything from them."

"Wait a minute? I remember Dad, didn't you send your distant cousin to the Red Society... Waaah—"

Huo Wu's mouth was covered by Dean Chi Huo, who warned, "Don't talk nonsense. What are you talking about? He's a distant cousin. He went there on his own. How could I possibly control him?"

At this moment, Fire Dance experienced the darkness of the adult world...

···
The qualifiers were over in the blink of an eye.

The brand-new division of Soul Master classes has made Soul Master battles more diverse and exciting, providing a feast for the eyes of most viewers.

The Notting team also performed exceptionally well, with the main team and vice-team taking turns on the field. While they didn't possess the overwhelming strength of the previous Notting team, they achieved a perfect record through excellent tactics and teamwork, even defeating teams like Blazing Academy, Thunder Academy, and Divine Wind Academy.

Only when they encountered the Tianshui Academy team were they suppressed by Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er's martial soul fusion skill - Snowfall.

However, it was precisely the power of the Falling Snow that caused Dai Mubai in the main team to once again unleash the Evil Eye Saint King state. With a holy posture, he condensed the ultimate light and burst out the White Tiger Blazing Light Wave, breaking through the ice phoenix formed by the Falling Snow and defeating Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er.

Even those high-ranking members of the Heavenly Dou Royal Family, both inside and outside the arena, who had witnessed firsthand the power of Dai Mubai's awakened Evil Eye Saint King form and still held onto the hope that war would not break out, had to admit—

Those barbarians from Xingluo are eyeing their Heavenly Dou Empire with covetous intent!
"The Legend of the Evil-Eyed Saint King—"

"That's truly something to be wary of."

For a moment, Emperor Xueye felt a pang of envy for Dai Tianran. Dai Tianran had three sons, two of whom were successful; while he himself had many sons, most of whom died in various accidents, leaving him with only two, neither of whom had achieved great success as a Soul Master…
