Chapter 306: All Eyes on Them, Emperor Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi, Old Fox vs. Old Fox
Inside the highest and most prestigious VIP box of the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena.
The entire box was crafted from thousand-year-old red sandalwood, with sound-insulating spirit stones embedded in the inner walls to shut out all the noise from outside.
The massive floor-to-ceiling crystal windows were tempered with spirit power.
Impact-resistant and unobstructed, they allowed every detail of the Spirit Fighting Arena to be presented clearly.
Emperor Xue Ye sat on the gilded dragon-patterned chair in the primary seat.
His bright yellow imperial robes were spread out, and a black jade thumb ring rested on his finger.
His gaze swept across the Spirit Fighting Arena below, quietly waiting for the Spirit Fight to begin.
Sitting beside him was Xue Qinghe, dressed in the court robes of the Crown Prince.
This was, in fact, Qian Renxue disguised as Xue Qinghe.
Qian Renxue sat upright with a gentle and appropriate smile on her face, her fingertips tracing the rim of a white jade teacup.
This Spirit Fight was something she had orchestrated herself.
She wanted to see just how much strength Lin Qingmo, who always spoke so astonishingly in the Chat Group, was truly hiding.
Even more, she wanted to see if this youth, who had suddenly appeared in Heaven Dou City and stirred up such a storm, would become an obstacle to her plan to subvert Heaven Dou.
Click.
The door to the box was gently pushed open by an attendant.
Two figures walked in slowly.
Leading them was Ning Fengzhi, dressed in a moon-white robe, with a warm face and a refined temperament.
Following behind him was the Sword Douluo, Chen Xin.
Seeing the two enter, Emperor Xue Ye immediately rose from his seat and took the initiative to welcome them.
Although the Heaven Dou Empire was under his rule.
Facing a Titled Douluo and the Sect Master of one of the Upper Three Sects, he still maintained a humble posture.
There was no helping it; after all, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family had no Titled Douluo of its own.
"School Master Ning, Sword Douluo, it is truly rare for you to have the leisure to visit the Great Spirit Arena."
Ning Fengzhi bowed slightly, a gentle smile on his face.
"Your Majesty is too kind. To be invited by Your Majesty is an honor for the two of us."
As soon as they arrived at the Great Spirit Arena, Emperor Xue Ye had noticed them and specially sent someone to invite them to this VIP box.
The Sword Douluo gave a slight nod to Emperor Xue Ye as a greeting.
After a few pleasantries, they each took their seats.
An attendant stepped forward to fill their cups with warm tea.
Emperor Xue Ye took a sip of tea and glanced at Ning Fengzhi, his face showing a hint of curiosity.
"School Master Ning, is there a particular reason for your visit today?"
Ning Fengzhi held his scepter, his tone gentle, with a trace of an imperceptible smile hidden in his eyes.
"To tell you the truth, I am quite curious about the strength of the reorganized Royal Fighting Team."
"Of course, most importantly, my daughter, Ning Rongrong, is now also a part of this team."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xue Ye showed a look of understanding and laughed heartily.
"Hahaha, so that’s how it is. Rongrong is also in the Royal Fighting Team."
"Then it’s no wonder School Master Ning would come personally. After all, she is your precious daughter; anyone in your position would be worried."
Emperor Xue Ye didn’t think much more of it and continued chatting casually.
Ning Fengzhi only had one daughter, Ning Rongrong, and had always cherished her dearly.
Coming to watch his daughter’s Spirit Fight and growth was perfectly normal.
Little did he know that the person Ning Fengzhi truly wanted to focus on today was never Ning Rongrong.
Instead, it was the youth who had become the captain of the Royal Fighting Team at only thirteen years old, Lin Qingmo, whose depth even he and the Sword Douluo could not see through.
Ning Fengzhi’s fingertips rubbed the glazed gem atop his scepter, his thoughts already fixed on the team about to take the stage.
...
In the front row of the spectator seats sat three figures.
Flender pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose.
His gaze swept across the packed Great Spirit Arena, feeling particularly emotional.
Zhao Wuji sat beside him, his thick arms resting on the metal railing in front of him, his mouth slightly agape.
"My god, the scale of this Spirit Fight is just too grand, isn’t it?"
"Even Emperor Xue Ye, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the Sword Douluo have come in person? Is this really just a regular academy exchange Spirit Fight?"
Flender was also quite surprised.
"I didn’t expect an exchange Spirit Fight between academies to draw so much attention either."
"The complexities behind this are likely not that simple."
Beside them, Yu Xiaogang held a thick cowhide notebook and a charcoal pencil.
The notebook was already filled with dense tactical analysis diagrams and breakdowns of the strengths of various past teams.
His face showed no extra expression, and his back was held straight.
"No matter how grand the scale, we only have one thing to do today."
"Record all the tactics, Spirit Abilities, member strengths, and cooperation habits of these two teams."
"The Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament will begin soon, and both of these teams will be opponents for Shrek."
"As the saying goes, ’Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.’ Only by understanding their backgrounds can we gain an advantage in the tournament."
Zhao Wuji curled his lip upon hearing this.
His thick fingers tapped on the metal railing, and he didn’t respond.
He had always been dismissive of Yu Xiaogang’s words and this manner of his.
’Know yourself and know your enemy’ indeed.
When it comes to the tournament, strength is the ultimate truth.
Just relying on recording these things won’t be of much use.
He snorted and turned his gaze toward the entrance of the Spirit Fighting Arena.
Just then, several figures walked over.
"Dean?!"
Leading them was Dai Mubai.
Following behind him were Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Yu Tianheng, Oslo, and the Shi Brothers.
All of them showed surprised expressions upon seeing Flender and the other two.
Dai Mubai was the first to stop, his body leaning forward slightly.
"Dean, Teacher Zhao, why are you here too?"
Flender nodded and waved them over.
"You all come and sit down; we can watch this Spirit Fight together."
They complied and sat in the empty seats nearby.
As Yu Tianheng sat down, his hands unconsciously clenched.
He was once the captain of the Royal Fighting Team, but now that the team had been completely reorganized, he had become a mere spectator, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
Another figure followed behind them.
Tang San.
Without saying a word, he sat in the seat furthest to the side.
Seeing Tang San arrive, Yu Xiaogang immediately showed a gentle expression.
Then he put on his teacherly air again.
"Little San, you’ve come at the right time."
"When the Spirit Fight starts, I want you all to observe closely."
"Especially the cooperative tactics of the Royal Fighting Team and the Blazing Fire Team, as well as their respective Spirit Ability characteristics and spirit power circulation methods—make sure you remember them all."
"These things will be of immense benefit to you in the upcoming tournament."
Tang San and Yu Tianheng both agreed.
The others completely ignored Yu Xiaogang.
Like Zhao Wuji, they all harbored a sense of dislike toward Yu Xiaogang.
...
Time passed bit by bit.
The shouts within the Great Spirit Arena grew louder and more rhythmic.
The gazes of tens of thousands of spectators were all focused on the passage entrances on either side of the Spirit Fighting Arena.
A referee dressed in black referee robes stepped onto the Spirit Fighting Arena, holding a spirit power amplification spirit tool in his hand, his voice reaching every corner of the Great Spirit Arena.
"Next, the team Spirit Fight between the Heaven Dou Royal Academy’s Royal Fighting Team and the Blazing Academy’s Blazing Fire Team is about to begin!"
"Will both teams please take the stage!"
As the referee’s voice fell, red figures were the first to emerge from the passage entrance on the right side of the Spirit Fighting Arena.
The entire Blazing Fire Team took the stage.
Captain Huo Wushuang walked at the very front.
His pace was steady, and each step he took seemed to land on the heartbeats of everyone present.
Vice-captain Huo Wu followed by his side, her posture tall and her gait swaying, a faint red glow surrounding her. As soon as the beauty appeared, she attracted the gazes of countless spectators, and the cheering reached a new height.
Huo Lie, Huo Yun, Huo Yu, Huo Chui, and Huo Jun followed closely behind.
The seven of them formed a neat line and stood in the area on the right side of the Spirit Fighting Arena.
Their red team uniforms shone brilliantly under the lights.
The fire-attribute spirit power from the seven of them, all from the same source, converged to form a scorching wave of air.
