Chapter 141 Snow Empress is Too Overpowered, Elder Xuan Urgently Stops the Promotion and Directly Assigns Her
Bei Bei stood in the middle of the crowd, his mind racing.
A chaotic free-for-all, leaving only seven survivors.
It sounds fair, but it's actually completely unfair. Anyone can see that Dai Huabin and his group have long been a unified entity.
Of course, the most important one is Xue Qingyao, who is level 65.
Bei Bei sighed inwardly.
He and Xu Sanshi were originally slated to be reserve team members, but now it seems that things have changed.
"Bei Bei, what should we do?" Xu Sanshi leaned closer, his voice low.
Bei Bei shook his head and didn't answer.
He was looking at Dai Huabin's position.
Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu stood side by side, with less than an arm's length between them.
Zhu Lu turned slightly to the side, her right hand hanging naturally at her side, ready to summon her Spirit at any time.
Her position perfectly filled the gap to Dai Huabin's right rear. This coordination wasn't something she deliberately staged; it was an instinct formed after countless fights.
To Dai Huabin's left, Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, and Cui Yajie had automatically formed a small triangular formation.
Wang Dong'er was at the very front; after fusing with the soul bone, She was very confident.
Xiao Xiao stood half a step behind Wang Dong'er, her hands behind her back. She looked petite and quiet, but upon closer inspection, one could see that her center of gravity was slightly forward, ready to unleash the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron at any moment.
Cui Yajie stood on the far side, her long pink hair particularly eye-catching in the sunlight. She wore a half-smile on her face, looking at everyone as if she were sizing up prey.
To Dai Huabin's right, Xue Qingyao stood quietly.
She wore a white dress and had long white hair; She was so quiet that She didn't seem like someone who had come to fight.
But it was this silence that sent a chill down Bei Bei's spine.
Level 65 Soul Emperor, Ultimate Ice.
Even Ma Xiaotao from the inner courtyard was frozen in one move. How could they, a group of Soul Masters and Soul Sect Masters at levels 30 or 40, possibly withstand such an attack?
Faced with such immense pressure, Xu Sanshi, Bei Bei, and Jiang Nannan silently stood together.
Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan were three fifth-grade Soul Masters.
Normally, this lineup would be considered the pinnacle of the outer academy.
But today, even the three of them combined might not be able to defeat Xue Qingyao alone.
He Caitou stood further away, arms crossed, his dark face filled with conflict.
He was a student in the Soul Guidance Device Department, and his combat ability was not among the top in this group.
But he had no teammates to help him.
As for Huo Yuhao?
Now that he no longer possessed the Ultimate Ice, a level-20-plus Soul Master was simply not qualified to participate in this competition.
...
On the other side, Ning Tian, Wu Feng, and Nanmen Yun'er were also quickly discussing the matter.
Wu Feng's expression was not good.
With limited cultivation levels, both She and Nanmen Yun'er would likely not survive to the last seven even if they risked their lives.
However, Dai Huabin's side was short of a support Spirit Master, and given Dai Huabin's sympathetic nature, he already occupied six spots. If Ning Tian went, she might be able to get a seventh spot.
"Young Master, you may go ahead," Wu Feng said decisively.
Nanmen Yun'er nodded in agreement.
"Yes, go to Dai Huabin's side. There are six of them, and none of them are support-type Spirit Masters. If you go there, you'll make a total of seven, and your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda will further enhance their combat power."
Ning Tian frowned. "Then what about you two?"
Wu Feng shrugged indifferently.
"We never expected to make it into the top seven. We just wanted to last a few more rounds. If we got knocked out, so be it."
Nanmen Yun'er added:
"Besides, even if the two of us go with you, we'll just be two more level-30-plus cannon fodder. It's better for you to go alone and take the support role. That way, your chances of making it into the top seven are the highest."
Ning Tian remained silent for a while.
She wasn't hesitating about whether to go or not, but rather thinking about how to explain things to Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er.
After all, the three of them were teammates during their freshman year. Although they were assigned to different classes later, they still had a good relationship. It would be a bit unfair to leave them here.
Wu Feng saw through her thoughts and immediately urged:
"Young Master, go quickly."
"It would be such a shame if you missed out on a spot because you were worried about us. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda should shine brightly now."
These words were so honest that Ning Tian smiled instead.
"Alright. Fengmei, Yun'er, be careful. If it gets too difficult, just admit defeat and don't get hurt."
Wu Feng waved her hand. "I know."
Nanmen Yun'er smiled at Ning Tian and gave her a push.
Ning Tian turned around and quickly walked towards Dai Huabin.
She stopped behind Dai Huabin and called out, "Huabin!"
Dai Huabin did not turn around and said:
"Ning Tian, just assist Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, and Ya Jie."
Ning Tian cursed inwardly.
This person always spoke like this, deciding things in just a few words, leaving no room for discussion.
But She also had to admit that the arrangement was indeed reasonable.
Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, making their combat power already excessive, so they didn't need any assistance. Xue Qingyao, a level 65 Soul Emperor, didn't need the blessing of her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda either.
On the contrary, Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, and Cui Yajie, whose cultivation levels were relatively low, were able to make up for many of their shortcomings with the boost from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Wang Dong'er turned to the side and waved to Ning Tian.
"Ning Tian, come quick!"
The girl with long, light blue hair had a hint of eager excitement on her face.
Ning Tian walked over and naturally stood beside Wang Dong'er.
Xiao Xiao smiled at her and whispered, "Ning Tian, welcome."
Cui Yajie didn't say anything polite, but glanced at Ning Tian with her fox-like eyes and smiled slightly.
Seven people, formation complete.
...
On the viewing platform, Xuanzi took a bite of a new chicken leg, chewed it twice, and swallowed it.
His seemingly cloudy old eyes swept over the situation on the field.
The thirty-odd core disciples had already basically divided themselves into factions.
Dai Huabin and his group of seven huddled together and occupied the northwest corner of the venue.
Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan formed the second team, standing in the center of the field, slightly to the east.
The remaining twenty-odd trainees were scattered in twos and threes. Some had paired up, some were still observing, and a few had already started moving towards the edge of the field... They were planning to run away as soon as the fight started, hoping to stall for as long as possible.
Xuanzi's attention lingered on Xue Qingyao for a moment.
Level 65 Soul Emperor, Ultimate Ice.
Putting a Soul Emperor in a chaotic brawl with a bunch of Soul Sect Masters and Soul Elders was like putting a tiger in a chicken coop; the outcome was already decided before the competition even began.
This wouldn't do.
Xuanzi put down the chicken leg, wiped his mouth with his greasy fingers, and stood up straight.
"Wait a moment."
Everyone stopped moving.
Xuanzi's voice was languid, but no one present dared to ignore it.
"That Xue Qingyao."
Xue Qingyao raised her head slightly and looked towards the viewing platform.
"You advance directly."
