Unaware that the Shrek Eight Monsters and their mentors had already conferred, realizing Tang Sui's possession of multiple personalities through her masks, like the wide-eyed expressions of Tai Long and Dou Dou.
Qin Ming, with his keen perception, paused for a second, his expression changing drastically alongside Flander and Zhao Wuji as they grasped the implication: "Master, you mean!"
The Master merely smiled, remaining silent.
Qin Ming's heart ached for Tang Sui, and he resolved to find an opportunity to speak with her alone. Psychological counseling couldn't be delayed!
Flander gasped, exchanging a look with Zhao Wuji. Like fellow sufferers, they silently retreated behind the Master.
The Shrek students, unaware that Flander had also been subjected to beatings by masks, exchanged bewildered glances.
The results of the second round of spirit duels also concluded.
The second participant from the Blazing Academy, Huo Yu, didn't even allow Tang Sui to move from her spot. She was directly knocked out of the designated combat area by the frontal assault of two masks.
The subsequent four matches were also effortlessly won by Tang Sui.
Without the advantage of team coordination, in Tang Sui's eyes, aside from Huo Wu, who was holding back a powerful move, and Huo Wushuang, who was barely a challenge, the other participants were merely paper tigers with their teeth pulled.
"Tang Sui!"
Huo Wu, her fierce gaze no longer fixed on Tang San but locked onto Tang Sui, clenched her fists, her knuckles cracking audibly.
"Wow, Blazing was defeated by Shrek with a full clear!"
"Isn't it true? The first time Blazing faced Shrek Academy, they fought tooth and nail, neck and neck. But now, with the single combat, tsk tsk, Blazing isn't up to par."
"If we meet Shrek again in the later matches, I'd really like to have a go with her, to experience the power of that mask that broke Blazing Academy's captain Huo Wushuang's ribs!"
"You? Forget it. Even Blazing's captain couldn't do it, do you think you can?"
"What level is the soul master called Tang Sui on the stage? Those two spirit masks of hers... her single-target combat power is terrifying."
"Speaking of which, Blazing Academy still has one person left. Are they really going to be swept clean seven times?"
"I think... the last one to go up is Huo Wu, she probably won't be able to do it either."
"No way? Is Blazing really going to be swept clean seven times?!"
The sighs and jeers from other academies reached Huo Wu's ears.
This was the first time she hated the keen senses of a soul master so much.
Amidst the malicious whispers, Huo Wu, the vice-captain of Blazing Academy, took a deep breath and walked onto the stage with a heavy heart.
A clean sweep of six, this was an unprecedented event since the start of the promotion matches!
Moreover, the academy being swept was Blazing Academy, one of the five elemental academies. How could this not be astonishing?
On Shrek's side, observing Huo Wu walk onto the stage with a grim expression, the Master sighed softly, "This match, I'm afraid, won't be easy."
"Hmm? Master, isn't Huo Wu a control-type soul master like Third Brother? Sui Sui could even defeat Third Brother, a control-type soul master, so she should be able to defeat Huo Wu." Ning Rongrong, not fully grasping the situation, asked.
Qin Ming agreed with the Master and explained, "No, it's different. Since the start of this Soul Master Elite Tournament, this is the first time Blazing Academy has experienced being swept clean. The discussions of others have turned into pressure weighing on their vice-captain, Huo Wu. Even if the final outcome is a loss for Blazing, to save Blazing Academy's face, Huo Wu will likely go all out to win this match."
"This girl from Blazing has an extremely arrogant disposition and an even stronger sense of pride. I suspect Sui Sui will be forced to reveal her martial soul in this fight," the Master nodded and added.
A powerful soul master is not terrifying, but a soul master pushed to their limit, capable of any crazy action, is the most formidable.
Tang Sui understood this principle all too well.
Facing Huo Wu, who stood solemnly in place, she immediately realized that Huo Wu was once again planning to risk it all.
The reason for "again" was because the original trajectory of fate dictated so.
She never considered herself a kind person.
Therefore, if Huo Wu were to play recklessly and end up sacrificing herself, Tang Sui wouldn't save her like her original brother did.
She would simply defeat Huo Wu and knock her off the stage before she could take such risks.
The smile on Tang Sui's face vanished, and her delicate little face rarely showed a serious expression.
Huo Wu, standing opposite Tang Sui, saw Tang Sui's serious demeanor and her even more concentrated aura, and was slightly taken aback. She then took a deep breath, trying to calm her mind, which was burning from the taunts.
The anger in her eyes gradually subsided, replaced by a cold gaze fixed on Tang Sui.
This match was no longer just a dispute between herself and Shrek Academy.
It also concerned the status and honor of Blazing Academy among the five elemental academies in the future.
Even if the ultimate outcome was a loss for Blazing against Shrek, they absolutely could not be swept clean seven times by a little girl who hadn't even used her spirit power or skills!!
Huo Wu, her breathing calm, seemed like a changed person. A faint red glow gradually appeared on the surface of her skin, like the light of a bonfire illuminating a person at night, yet possessing a trace of seductive charm.
Blazing, Blazing. At this moment, Huo Wu truly resembled a brilliant, blazing flame, scorching people's hearts.
But the prerequisite was that this flame intended to use its life to burn people's hearts.
Tang Sui narrowed her eyes, her aura also becoming calm.
Across from her, Huo Wu began to make her move.
