Renxue's Qualification Rating
Chapter 87 Qian Renxue's Qualification Rating
A few days later.
After a period of rest and consolidation, the fifteen teams from the Heavenly Dou Empire that advanced to the next round all arrived in Heavenly Dou City.
The Royal Hunting Grounds, located fifty kilometers southwest of Tiandou City, is the venue for the qualifying rounds.
At the Royal Hunting Grounds, Camp One, Teacher Su Ran from Peach Garden is explaining the rules of the qualifying rounds to seven students.
Tickets for the qualifying rounds will no longer be sold; only academy members who have successfully advanced can enter to watch the matches.
The qualifying rounds will not eliminate any teams; they will only be ranked to determine the order of appearance in the finals. The matches will no longer be team battles, but rather 1v1 tag-team duels, with the team winning when all seven members of the opposing team have been defeated. This will further test the individual strength of the Soul Masters and will be closely related to their Martial Soul and the attribute counter system.
Having already agreed on the competition rewards with their teachers, the six main female players from Taoyuan Academy looked radiant and full of vitality and fighting spirit.
"You achieved first place in the division during the qualifiers. The Tiandou City division is the most competitive division in the Tiandou Empire, which means that your team battle ability is undoubtedly the best in the Tiandou Empire. Here, I want to give special praise to Rongrong."
"Compared to your performance at the Soto City Grand Battle a year ago, you are much more composed and rational on the field now. You have learned to think about the situation of your teammates and have a general understanding of their strengths and characteristics. The enhancement rate of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has reached 80%."
"The teacher is quite satisfied with your team's performance in the battle."
"The upcoming qualifying rounds, while not eliminating teams, will be a good opportunity to test your individual abilities."
"Therefore, in the qualifying rounds, you can use basic techniques to fight. The key point I will focus on when I give you individual scores is how well you can use basic techniques to defeat your opponents."
"Our first qualifying match will be against the Plant Academy. I will decide your order of appearance at the start of the match, so please prepare yourselves in advance."
After Su Ran finished speaking, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu were already rubbing their hands together in anticipation.
"Finally, we can use our ultimate techniques. I was almost unable to hold back during the preliminaries. If we can use our basic ultimate techniques, it will be much easier for us to fight the four elemental academies."
"I hope our qualifying matches go smoothly, after all, our goal is to be number one."
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling also looked on with anticipation. The upcoming competition was not only related to their annual assessment scores, but also to whether they would be able to see their teacher's face. After their teacher opened up to them, they looked forward to the moment when their teacher would take off their mask.
In the preliminary rounds, only the four elemental academies put pressure on the students of Peach Blossom Academy, with Tianshui Academy and Shenfeng Academy being the most difficult to deal with.
Tianshui Academy's Ice Sealing and Fusion Soul Skill, Ice and Snow Drifting, possesses hard control and wide-range offensive capabilities, causing Taoyuan Academy some trouble. Ultimately, Taoyuan Academy relied on Meng Yiran's third and fourth soul skills to summon two thousand-year-old soul beasts and a soul beast with an age of about ten thousand years to break the ice and resist the damage. Dugu Yan and Xiao Wu's ice immunity avoided the cold air of the ice element, and they used poison gas to force back and provide cover, allowing Xiao Wu to successfully approach and defeat Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu.
Feng Xiaotian, the captain of Shenfeng Academy, created the Soul Skill Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes of Gale, which is essentially a basic ultimate technique that integrates the characteristics of a martial soul. Each slash is more powerful than the last, and the speed is extremely fast and difficult to lock onto. If it weren't for the cooperation of Wang Sheng, Dugu Yan, and Meng Yiran, who gave Zhu Zhuqing an opportunity to successfully attach the Soul Skill Nine Nether Cross Slash to Feng Xiaotian, briefly locking him in place and breaking the stalemate, they probably wouldn't have been able to resist using the power of their ultimate techniques to fight.
On the contrary, the Thunder Academy and Blazing Fire Academy, whose offensive strength was more ferocious, made it easier for the girls from Peach Blossom Academy to fight. The reason was simple: they had been bathed in rare flowers and herbs by their teacher for more than a year, and they also had ten-thousand-year soul rings. In addition, Captain Rongrong provided them with more than 50% of the soul power, speed, and strength. When they went all out, they were the most ferocious team!
Wang Sheng's fourth soul skill comes from a ten-thousand-year-old Storm Star Lion that his teacher personally hunted for him. It gives him a powerful ten-thousand-year-old soul skill that can turn the area slashed by his third soul skill, the axe teeth, and the tornado into a storm restricted area, restricting the enemy within the arc and subjecting them to his multiple storm slashes. Its name is: Storm Nebula Rift!
The overwhelming power directly cut Yu Tianxin from Thunder Academy and Huo Wushuang from Blazing Fire Academy so badly that their own mothers wouldn't recognize them.
As for Xiao Chenyu, this newbie, after learning the Hungry Wolf Fist and other techniques from Teacher Su Ran, he has made some progress under Wang Sheng's sparring partner and can now start practicing alone to make up for his shortcomings through hard work.
To help him progress even faster, Su Ran had already sent Xiao Chenyu back to Taoyuan Academy in Soto City with his handwritten letter and Peach Blossom Token to find Dugu Bo.
The creed outlines a suitable medicinal bath combination for Xiao Chenyu's practice, along with high-quality rare flowers and herbs to help him shed his body. After completing this stage, he can then hunt for his second soul ring.
Xiao Chenyu became Wang Sheng's disciple much later than him, and his first spirit ring was only a white ten-year spirit ring, so it would be very difficult for his second spirit ring to be upgraded to a thousand-year spirit ring.
Therefore, Su Ran set the age limit of Xiao Chenyu's second spirit ring to match the best spirit ring configuration, so that he could obtain a second spirit ring of about 700 years. Then, he would have the opportunity to absorb a spirit ring of more than 2,000 years like Rongrong and the others for his third spirit ring.
……
"Congratulations, Dean Su. The students of Taoyuan Academy have performed amazingly in this competition, which shows that Dean Su's teaching is unparalleled on the continent."
Just as the qualifying rounds were about to begin, a refined-looking figure approached with a young man in a cyan-gold robe and greeted Su Ran.
Seeing Ning Fengzhi's respect for the young man wearing the peach-patterned mask, a moment of surprise flashed across the eyes of the young man in the green robe.
It seems that Taoyuan Academy's team's first-place ranking in the qualifiers is closely related to this teacher from Taoyuan Academy.
"Qinghe, this is Su Ran, the dean of Taoyuan Academy."
"Dean Su, this is Xue Qinghe, the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire."
Your performance in the Taoyuan Academy preliminary rounds was outstanding. As early as when the academy students displayed almost all of them having 40,000-year soul rings, His Majesty had already asked me to recommend you. I know that Dean Su is indifferent by nature, and during the competition, I never dared to mention it.
"After the preliminary rounds ended, Qinghe kept urging me to come and meet the students of Taoyuan Academy, so I came to bother you. I also wanted to see Rongrong; that girl must have given Dean Su a lot of trouble, right?"
Ning Fengzhi introduced the young man's background to Su Ran.
Su Ran merely glanced at Xue Qinghe, nodded slightly, and said nothing more.
But a system recognition had already flashed through Su Ran's eyes, which was somewhat surprising, yet also expected.
This Crown Prince's talent and aptitude have reached the highest level seen so far.
Qian Renxue, a divinely bestowed martial soul, the Six-Winged Angel, possesses innate level 20 full soul power.
[Advantages and Recommendations: Divine attribute, high talent, strong background, extremely easy to cultivate, five-star appearance]
[Flaws at a glance: Deeply scheming, enjoys role-playing, has complicated family relationships, unhealthy thinking, missed the best age for cultivation due to infiltrating the Heavenly Dou royal family, and is easily drawn into the power struggle for the throne when taking on disciples.]
[Innate Talent Rating: SSS]
[Delayed the optimal age for cultivation; cultivation potential downgraded to: SS level.]
